One of my closest friends is a crossfit coach and has been encouraging me for years to give it a try. I always had a plethora of excuses: "I'm too old | out of shape | injured | overweight | not enough time ... " You name it, I had reasons why it wasn't for me. After realizing that my knees were at risk for replacements, I decided to give it a try. My friend researched the boxes in my area and suggested that I check out CrossFit North Reston based on their extensive onboarding program and the quality of the coaching team. As nervous as I was, I was immediately put at ease by the warmth and encouragement of the members and the coaches. As you've probably guessed, I'm far from an athlete, but I felt right at home from the start. The coaching staff is superb! And I cannot speak highly enough of head coach Carolyn Davis. She is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She's quite skilled at scaling the WODs to meet me where I am. Because of her ability to individualize and tailor the workouts as I've needed, I've had the time and space to learn each movement, still do a ton of work, make progress, and do it safely. Not only has Carolyn been an incredible crossfit coach, she's an amazing nutritionist! She's creative in her approach and incorporates challenges, community, and health in a fun and accessible way. I've had the great good fortune to work with all the coaches at CFNR, and I can assure you that you can't go wrong with any of them. They're passionate about health, offer excellent coaching tips, and are each inspiring and encouraging. Lastly, I'm delighted to report that I'm stronger, am no longer at risk for knee replacements for at least a decade, and have lost 2 1/2 clothing sizes. I feel better than I have in years and look forward to continuing my progress. Thank you all, Tommy, Carolyn, Jen, Brandon, David, Heather, and the entire community. read more

In June 2015, my husband and I showed up for our first-ever Crossfit class. We had no idea what to expect... I had never in my life picked up a barbell. Four years later, I consider myself a pretty experienced Crossfitter and continue to find joy in my workouts. But my journey with CFNR is about so much more than my journey with Crossfit. CFNR, to me, is about community and friendship as much as it is about working out. My husband and I are stronger and happier for the time that we spend at the box with our friends, and I am grateful every day for this wonderful, generous group of people who come together to work out, yes, but also to support one another more generally in their lives. We've attended weddings, celebrated birthdays, welcomed babies, and held each other up through many, many milestones. It's really hard for me to separate the "working out" piece from the larger story of what it means to come to the box every day. I'm proud of how strong I have become, yes, but I am equally proud of how much of my time and myself I have given to this community and how much I have received from it in turn. My life is fuller, richer, happier, and more complete because of CFNR, and I am grateful for its owner, its coaches, and its athletes every single day. read more

I have been a member of a few different CrossFit gyms over the past 5 years due to job and location changes, but my two years at CrossFit North Reston were amazing! My boyfriend and I moved to Northern Virginia in 2016 and we joined CrossFit North Reston after trying out a couple of the gyms in our area. I am so thankful for CrossFit North Reston, not just for what the coaching staff has taught me to make me a better athlete, but also because I have made so many long lasting friendships (holla at you Mack City!). So many thanks to all of the coaches for their expertise and wisdom! I want to extend a special thanks to Tommy (owner) for being so accommodating and understanding when I had to place my membership on hold for a month and when I eventually had to leave the gym because of my move. He was very responsive with questions about payments and allowed me to cancel immediately before the next billing cycle. This is very much appreciated, as I have not had this same experience at other gyms. I am so lucky I was able to be a part of CrossFit North Reston for the last two years and happy to know I am always welcomed back to drop in when I can. You guys are the best and I miss you all so much! read more

I spent years working out at Gold's Gym, Planet Fitness, Crunch, etc but eventually plateaued and got bored with doing the same workouts every week. I tried the P90X/Insanity series and Orange Theory but felt I was losing the strength I had worked so hard to build up. I decided to try CrossFit and joined CFNR in 2015. I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions of my life. I found at CFNR what I was missing in all my years working out - variety, competition, and community. The owner (Tommy) and coaches (Carolyn, David, Brandon, Jen, Joe, Heather, and Kevin) have built an amazing athlete community and are extremely knowledgeable. They truly take the time to get to know all of their athletes. The programming is fresh and different every day. The members make the workouts competitive and fun. The gym is reasonably priced and Tommy has taken great care to make sound investments to improve the gym experience. All in all, it is a very welcoming and supportive environment for athletes of all skill levels. For anyone looking to break from the monotony of doing the same workout every day and join a great community of athletes, I highly recommend you try CFNR! read more

I've been a member since 2016 and it's been wonderful to find my CrossFit family at CFNR. This is a community of people who support one another in their goals, seek to continuously improve themselves, believe in service to their community and genuinely want to have fun while getting fit and maintaining health. This starts with the coaches and is infectious throughout the box. I had taken about 18 months off from CrossFit, and when we moved to Reston I tried a few different places but CFNR felt like home. I continued working out through my pregnancy and the support I received throughout was instrumental in staying healthy while carrying and preparing myself for labor and delivery. In the year since having a baby, CFNR has been there for me through all the ups and downs of recovery and getting fit again. This is the third box I've been a member of since starting CF in 2012 and it's where I've made the most progress, had the best coaching, and it's been the most inclusive. From nutrition support, to social events, CFNR has become an integral part of my life and I'm so grateful for that. read more

This is a great box. I have been attending for three years and as point of comparison, I first started CrossFit at another box and I drop in frequently in boxes around the country as I travel for work. I've probably been to 15 different boxes, about 7 multiple times. CFNR has a convenient location with plenty of classes to choose from. The box itself is a good size, with plenty of equipment. The programming is excellent and I have seen continued improvement in my performance. The pricing is competitive. But the two things that truly set this box apart are the coaches and the community. The coaches are very approachable and attentive. They consistently give the right combination of constructive feedback and encouragement. The community that CFNR has developed is amazing. The other members are friendly and the place has the feel of a close group of friends and family working out together. It is neither too big nor too small. Classes are usually between 10 and 18 people and there is often a second coach on hand to help with classes. Going to CFNR is definitely the best part of my day. read more

I stepped into this gym by accident 18 months ago thinking it was another gym and from the very first moment, the coaches, owner, and other members were inviting and enthusiastic. The owner, Tommy, immediately adjusted his schedule to give me a trial class and from that first class I've been hooked. The coaches are experienced and knowledgeable and always willing to take an extra moment to give pointers and suggestions and even take video so you can see what they are evaluating. In the 18 months I've been a member, I attribute my success and excitement about CrossFit to the coaching staff and the community. My progress is undoubtedly in part b/c of the great mindset of the entire group of people that step foot in that place every day. Can't say enough good things about this gym, the ownership, and the coaching staff. It's been a game changer for me. read more

CFNR is an amazing box for so many reasons. I have been a member for three years now. Tommy (owner) and all the coaches are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about the members. There is a real sense of community and the more you go to class the more you begin to feel like part of the CrossFit north Reston family. The equipment and facilities are in great condition (much better than many other gyms I've dropped into). I would recommend CFNR to all different level athletes. Come stop by for a good time! read more

I was member here for two years after moving to the area with my girlfriend. It's a great community with not only great members but a knowledge and experienced coaching staff. I saw a lot of progress as a CrossFit athlete and was able to reach some of the goals I had for myself. The facility has the equipment to accommodate an athlete at any level. You consistently have the same coaches which I enjoyed because they got to know you on a personal level(strengths, weaknesses, goals, etc). Highly recommend! read more

CrossFit North Reston is great! As someone who enjoys working out, but is not athletic, I thought CrossFit was not for me. But I was proven wrong and have been a happy and satisfied member for over 2 years. The coaches are wonderful and help students scale movements to ensure safety while building confidence and new skills. The owner, Tommy, is personable, knowledgeable and caring. Class times are convenient, and the workouts are fun. Every time I leave class, I feel wonderful and energized. read more

I can't say enough great things about Crossfit North Reston. CFNR is my second home. I'm at the box 6-7 days a week including open gym. I joined almost three years ago after years of boredom from running and various gym classes. The workouts are challenging but can be scaled to any fitness level. The coaching staff are knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging and they truly care about the members. I highly recommend CFNR! read more

Worked out 2 weeks in a row (Thurs/Friday) at CrossFit North Reston - they were fantastic. The regular class had a focused skill portion and although I was a drop in they spent as much time as if I were a regular member. I also did 16.1 and 16.2 there - the entire box was welcoming and encouraging If I lived in the area, this would be the box I would join read more

CFNR is a GREAT box to drop into!! I was in town for a long weekend and the coaches and members were so accommodating, welcoming, and friendly! They're my official "home away from home" box now, and I'll be going every time I'm in the dmv. Can't recommend or thank them enough for their kindness! read more
