The breaks are quite short, allowing you to push yourself. I appreciate that the coaches are friendly and helpful to correct you when you're doing an exercise wrong and help you to get the most out of each workout. The equipment is all in good condition and cleaned after each exercise; you are expected to clean each area yourself, and they provide towels and disinfecting spray to do so. The meh: It's quite warm inside; I believe if they set the AC to turn on before classes started, that would solve the issue. Some of the coaches are more interactive than others.

And about 10 mins into class, I was obsessed! The coaches and Staff are amazing, The members and coaches completely motivate you and inspire you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. I consider myself an athlete but I can tell you that I am humbled when I'm in class. I always feel AMAZING when I walk out the door!! I love the variety of equipment and exercises which changes everyday. The gym has showers if you need it. It's clean and very well taken care of. I've been here a month now and I feel like part of the family!! This is a great community.

Everyone is friendly, motivating, and creates an environment where people can challenge themselves while having fun. The coaching is excellent, the workouts are well organized, and the atmosphere is always positive and inspiring. I'm very grateful for my experience here and highly recommend Richard Russell CrossFit to anyone looking for a great gym and an amazing fitness community.

I knew I've wanted to start up CrossFit for some time, but always made excuses why I couldn't make the time or was afraid it would be too hard. I'm thankful that Josh was extremely responsive and supportive of my decision to start at RRCF with the OnRamp sessions which helped me start out with the basics of what CrossFit is about. He was super flexible with my schedule to accommodate the classes. Today marks my first full week of CrossFit and I am so amazed by all the support from the coaches to include Kacy, Jaclyn and Val. I'm super thankful for this community that doesn't just focus on getting in shape, but maintaining a balanced lifestyle overall and continuous self improvement. I'm excited to continue with this great local community which has a location in both Soledad and Monterey

I've been coming to this gym for a few months now, and I'm so glad I found Excel Health and…read moreFitness. What really sets this gym apart from others I've been to is how involved and supportive the coaches are. From day one, they made me feel welcome and encouraged. They take the time to explain the exercises, make sure you're doing them correctly, and truly help you get the most out of each workout. One extra touch that really stands out is how involved the owner, Danny, is. He actually takes the time to check in with you, see how things are going, and make sure you're feeling supported. Even the motivating emails make a difference -- they help keep you accountable and remind you why you're showing up in the first place. This gym feels less like a place you just work out and more like a community that actually cares about your progress. Highly recommend if you're looking for encouragement, guidance, and a place that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

I was recently reminded that I've been a member at Excel for seven years now- crazy how time flies!…read moreI first joined this gym to train with the competitive athletes but was surprised by how much I fell in love with the gym and its incredibly positive and uplifting community. Community is a big deal here, and building it is one of the main focuses of the gym. The coaches are also great at providing knowledgeable/personalized feedback. I know people are hesitant to invest in a CrossFit membership ($$) but coming from someone who's paid for multiple gym memberships and barely used them, this one is definitely worth it. The value is in having a whole community help push you towards your fitness goals. So many days I didn't feel like training but then started working out with friends and all of a sudden, it's like you're playing a game. Everyone is beyond friendly here and finding people willing to suffer through a WOD with you is pretty easy. If you want to have fun and improve your health and fitness in the process, I'd definitely recommend Excel for you.

I've complained and simply got a yea okay, as though it's normal, and then as you can see in the images, the bad areas have been that way for quite some time. I would like to see the staff workout on only these machines, and then explain why they would have bruised or rash areas be normal. Come on PF show some pride in your equipment that many pay to use. And then to top that off, many-many members sit in the machines playing on their phones, texting, sexting, Facebooking etc., disallowing others to get what they paid for, and that would be able to work out. I just counted 18 out of approximately 60 members playing on their phones, tying up those machines. I've mentioned the issue to staff three maybe four times, and they just look at you and shrug their shoulders. Do you think they could put signs up, so people can read and learn to share the equipment equally, not treated as it's their own personal piece of equipment . SMH
