I have been coming here for about 3 months. I started this as part of a women's only "New You Challenge" back in June because I knew I needed to change something in my life or I was going to start having health issues. I was very athletic in high school but haven't done anything this tough in 20 years. I wasn't even sure I could do it and was very intimidated by it all...I was second guessing signing all they way up to my first class. I decided to give it a go because my boyfriend has been doing it about a year...he kept saying I would love it if I would just give it a try so I finally did and it was the best decision I ever made. The coaches and members all so helpful and supportive. There is always someone cheering you on to the finish even if you don't know them. The coaches push you but in a way that is supportive and safe. They want you to do the moves correct rather than fast and you don't go up in weight unless you are are ready. No boot camp style coaching here! I even had shin splint (used to get them in high school too) and didn't run for about a month so they could heal...there is always an alternative exercise or a way to scale every movement until you can handle more. I have seen people's reactions when I tell them I do crossffit and they are shocked every time...maybe because I don't look like a typical crossfitter now but hoping that changes as I built muscle and lose fat...but also because I am sure they have heard bad stories from other gyms. This one is different because of the owners, coaches, and members....they don't want people to get hurt and they take great care in making sure movements are always correct in every single class so we don't get injuries. I love the fellowship and support from the other members and I highly recommend this gym!!!! I can't say enough good things about it. read more

Everyone hopes that weight loss and/or healthy living could be a quick, easy fix. It's easy to get pulled into gyms or weight loss plans or pills or shakes that offer easy, instant results. So, before I started with CFSC, after years of trying quick fixes unsuccessfully, I was honestly terrified to try CrossFit. I felt too out of shape, too overweight, too un athletic to start. After my first one-on-one training session with Coach K, I felt like I finally found the supportive environment that nurtures the truly healthy long term lifestyle change that was right for me. All my fears were slowly chipped away with each class. With each bump in the road, there is another gym member beside you going through it or who has been there before. Coaches teach quality and form over quantity and speed, and injury prevention over flashy PRs. You will hit PRs, you will achieve goals, but you'll do them safely. I'll never forget my first challenging workout, finishing after my classmates, but being cheered on by them until I did. This kind of community is rare, and I truly appreciate the coaches, the classmates, the yoga classes, nutrition coaching, the specialty classes and the family I've stepped into during my time here. And I'm the happiest and healthiest I've ever been. Oh, and by the way, as a nice side perk, my clothes are getting looser too! read more

I was so intimidated to try CrossFit but I'm sooo glad I did! I set up an appointment with Brian to tour the facility and was even able to bring a friend with me to check the place out. I signed up for on-ramp sessions with Dawn and it was an absolutely amazing experience! She is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to break down complex movements into terms a newbie can understand. Integration from on-ramp to group classes was seamless! I'm extremely shy but everyone was so warm and welcoming, it really put me at ease. It is a completely supportive environment that encourages self growth in all aspects of life, not just in the gym. The coaches know when to motivate you and when to hold you accountable, ensuring you're getting the most out of your workout. The members know when you need a hug, a pep talk, or personal space. I could have the crappiest of days and an hour at CFSC will turn it completely around. Call it therapy or torture -- your mind will certainly be off your worries, and for that, I couldn't be more grateful. read more

CFSC is by far the best box I have ever been to! I moved to Charlotte in June. I went to one box and hated it! I was about to give up on crossfit until I tried Crossfit Steele Creek! My first day I was greeted by every member. Instantly I felt like I belonged. I have made many great friends there. Kyra is probably the best coach I have ever had! She is so knowledgeable and friendly. She has a way to push you to your full potential. She is always more than willing to help. Burt and Deuce are also wonderful coaches that are also so willing to help. Brian, the owner, takes great pride in CFSC, and it shows! He truly cares about ALL his members! The WODs for the next day are posted at 8:00 pm. I find myself counting down until then so I can see the WOD. I attend the 6:00 a.m. class, which honestly feels like my second family. Waking up and starting my day is so much easier when I start it right by working out at CFSC! I am so happy to be a part of their crossfit family! read more

I have been into exercise and fitness for many years, and have attended many different gyms, tradional and crossfit, and I do not hesitate to say that Crossfit Steele Creek is the best gym I have ever been a part of. The facility is always kept up, clean and organized. There is an impressive array of equipment. The coaches and staff are truly world class. They are exceptionally knowledgeable, humble, approachable, and eager to share their knowledge and experience. The atmosphere is always positive, upbeat, and encouraging. The workouts themselves are second to none. From the most experienced, conditioned athlete, to the absolute beginner, these workouts are challenging and beneficial. I am often amazed with my progress as I do things I never thought I could do. On the wall is the proclamation "If you let it this place will change you." It is a true statement, and the change will be for the better. read more

This place is amazing and it is 100% because of the people here. Never have I been to a gym where the staff, the members, just everything is so welcoming, supportive, and truly like a family. The coaches are intelligent and make sure you're working out smart and safely. Each class begins with warm ups that are fun and effective, movement reviews and practice to get you ready for the work out, and direction and supervision during the workout to encourage and push you but also make sure you're being safe and effective. This place does so many fun things together as a family like pot luck brunches, going to each others weddings, doing fun activities outside the gym, and just truly building life long friendships. It says it on the wall and it's 100% true there "if you let it, this place will change you!" Give them a chance, no matter what your physical ability or health level. You will never regret it. read more

I have been a member for two years. I can see so many improvements with my physical abilitiy. I've had the opportunity to visit other boxes while vacationing. What I have to compare is this: this place is so special , the coaches are all five star, each bring their own specific knowledge and their Niche within CrossFit. the planning and implementation of workouts are not just second thoughts to fill the schedule , rather they are compiled through knowledge of the owner and coaches and consider the science behind the human body. They are designed to push us to our limits without causing injury. It's truly an amazing experience. if you come you will succeed no one here will let you do otherwise. #bestdecisionevermade read more

If you're looking for a workout that doesn't leave you with that "stranded in the middle of the gym, completely lost and unguided" feeling, CrossFit is probably for you. If you're looking for a CrossFit gym with a fantastic, caring and educated staff, CrossFit Steele Creek is probably for you, as well. Cory, Brian, Amelia, Aaron, Dave, Lisa, Kyra and Dawn are always there making sure you give all you have and do it safely and effectively! I can honestly say I have never belonged to any gym that even came close to approaching the levels of instruction, encouragement, motivation and camaraderie that I experience at CFSC. Come check it out - the first class is always free! I bet you won't leave disappointed. read more

Where do I even begin!? This place is like a 2nd home to me. I was never athletic in high school...heck until my early-mid 30's actually when I signed up for boxing classes, graduated to an 8 week bootcamp program, and suddenly needed MORE. My husband joined CFSC a few months earlier and kept pushing me to go. I was one of those people that was afraid I'd get hurt or that I wouldn't be successful. Fear kept me away until I finally tried it Nov. 2014 and I've never looked back! The coaches are encouraging and give me that push when they know I need it. They truly care and the members are amazing! They cheer you on and pick you up on your worst day! ALL levels welcome! Seriously! Take it from me. :) read more

The best way to describe CrossFit Steele Creek?..."This place changes lives!" A simple ad on Facebook lead to the greatest decision I've ever made. While it's true that you'll only get out what you put in, the effort you give will lead to success. I've never seen a greater support system than CFSC. I began back in Oct and since then, I've lost 8% body fat and gained over 6 lbs of muscle. I've also met some of the most amazing people here and every single person, coaches and members together, make it a family not just a gym. You will never find an ounce of negativity here, only positive attitudes and endless smiles. If you pass on CrossFit Steele Creek, then you're passing on greatness! read more

I've been going to CFSC for over 2 years now and my only regret is that I didn't start earlier. For months I hummed and hawed on joining, thought I had to be "in shape" to start crossfit. Well it turns out you don't! There is a wide range of fitness levels and the wonderful coaches are always willing to work with you! This place is like my second home, I'm happy I finally took the leap and walked thought those doors! You can't beat the incredible supportive community that is offered at CFSC, everyone wants to see you excel no matter what fitness level your at. read more

I joined Crossfit a little over a month ago- and I absolutely love it. I trained with a personal trainer for about a year and although he was useful, I can see more of a difference in my physical abilities since I incorporated Crossfit into my life. The staff is outstanding- they take the time to teach you and push you in an encouraging manner. At first I wasn't able to do the whole workout so they made modifications for me. The other "Crossfitters" are also great-they cheer you on. It's not the easiest part of your day- but it's definitely the best. read more

Started Crossfit here last October and can't believe the progress I've made and the support I have received from everyone. I had visited a few other gyms and didn't feel like I would "fit in" because I felt out of shape and thought I would be judged. This community has athletes of ALL levels and within just a few short months I have made MANY friends who I now look up to and call my family. The facility is HUGE and the coaching staff care about your goals, whatever they may be. CFSC has become my second home and I look forward to my future here! read more

I was very nervous to start a crossfit program because when I started I was really out of shape and hadn't exercised regularly in 10+ years. I started at Steele Creek during a "New You" program. I got great coaching and learned the proper way to do each movement. I've been here 6 months and have always felt welcome. The coaches and people are amazing! There are people of all fitness levels in each class and everyone is so supportive. The hardest part was walking in the door that first day and now I look forward to my time at the box everyday! read more

I joined CF Steele Creek in March 2016. I've been a member of other gyms, had personal trainers, etc. but nothing compares to the workouts, coaching and support that I've received at this gym. The coaches, equipment, and members are truly top notch and I would highly recommend setting up some time for an introduction. No matter your fitness level or familiarity with CrossFit, they will work with you. I've never been a morning person, but thanks to CFSC, I actually look forward to getting up and getting my workout done! read more

This is the first Gym in my 68 years that allows anyone, with any level of willingness, to participate in what will be their most cherished group of friends, supporters and instructors. Owner, Dr. Brian Strump, has spent the last 7+ years carefully developing a safe, personally rewarding program of exercise that is adaptable to young and old; experienced and inexperienced; men or women that enables individuals to reach and exceed their individual capacity. My 7 years have been rewarding beyond any expectation. read more

I began with CrossFit Steele Creek 5 years ago and truly feel that this is one of the best choices I have ever made for myself, the gym is by far the best CrossFit gym in Charlotte! Fantastic coaches, amazing community and a facility that can not be beat by anyone in the area; best I've ever been to! On one wall of the gym the words "If you give it a chance this place will change your life" & it has for mine all for the better! read more

I've only been doing CrossFit since November, 2010 and must say, I LOVE IT! More importantly, I love CrossFit Steele Creek, the trainers are awesome and really helpful, the owner being a Chiropractor and having been myself was a huge help! The gym is a family, everyone pushes harder because of those around you, and in the same respect you push them. No egos or attitudes here, just hard work, and I'm proud to be a member. read more
