I have played sports most of my life, but after high school that changed. I had to workout without the motivation of a coach pushing me, which is what i was used to. My workouts on my own were never as beneficial as the cardio and strength training I got from playing a sport. That is why I decided to give personal training a shot and how I met Bobby, (Friction coach/co-owner). Bobby definitely pushed me during our workouts, and little did I know I was doing Crossfit moves without even knowing what crossfit was! When I heard that he was starting Friction Crossfit, I knew I had to check it out. I was not familiar with crossfit before this and decided to buy a groupon first to make sure I liked it. Best decision ever! I already knew some of the skills and what I didn't know the coaches (Bobby and Jeff) were there every step of the way to make sure that form was the most important and then accomplishing the skill. There has not been one crossfit class that I have not enjoyed because it is fun and you are pushing yourself more than you would if you worked out alone! Each class has a maximum of 10 people so it stays small enough for one on one instruction when you need it. Making friends was easy because it's such a supportive community! I have noticed not only an improvement in my appearance, but also my strength. Crossfit is similar to a sport for me because it takes hardwork, patience, and dedication, which is what I have always loved. Plus it beats running on a treadmill any day :) Great coaches, great environment, check it out! read more

I'm the type of person who would probably never willingly workout for the rest of my life if given that option, but eating ice cream and doughnuts doesn't allow for that kind of freedom. Thankfully, I found Friction CrossFit through a friend and now working out doesn't seem like such a chore! At Friction, you will find an incredible, friendly community that is beyond welcoming and knowledgable. CrossFit doesn't become "just a workout", but a social and morale-boosting event where you not only are bettering yourself, but you're bettering those around you due to the contagious encouraging energy that flows through everyone there. The coaches are knowledgable beyond belief! Jeff, through personal training sessions, helped rehab an 'over-physical-therapied' ankle sprain back to its proper function! And even when you think there's no way an exercise can be scaled back more than it already has been, Bobby and Mike swoop in and prove you wrong. Just like that, you're magically able to work the targeted muscles along with the rest of the class. It's pretty magical to say the least. If that isn't a good enough reason to check them out, then here is one; Krispy Kreme is less a mile down the road and the light that indicates "free doughnuts" is usually on when you leave class. I would know; I stop often after class. Makes eating a delicious doughnut more guilt-free! read more

I am so happy I found Crossfit. I've always been active, mainly running or engaging in some type of aerobic exercise class at a local gym. Or my at home beach body DVDs. I lacked upper body strength and decided to work with a personal trainer. Needless to say with a personal trainer I still lacked upper body strength. I wanted more and felt I was wasting money. Fast forward I googled Crossfit gyms near me and Friction popped up; they were located a few blocks from my house. I sent and message and received a prompt response from #CEO Jeff. I scheduled my first class with him. When I walked into the box on my first day I was a nervous wreck. The people there had been doing this forever, at least that's what I thought. After my first week I wanted to give up. The classes were so challenging and I struggled lifting an empty bar overhead. I have learned a lot and am so much stronger compared to that woman who walked in on day one. Here I am three years later and still rocking it out with this awesome community. The coaches are amazing Jeff, Mike, Bobby, Dakota, Nick, and Angela. They are patient and you will learn a lot. The programming is laid out for you. All you have to do is show up. You will not be disappointed. read more

Friction CrossFit is a very welcoming and friendly community. Each person will experience transformation in their physical personal growth while building relationships and having a great time! The coaches take the time to get to know each person individually to better meet the person where they are at. The coaches are exceptionally knowledgeable and very patient. Their dedication and commitment to each member and Friction is evident that they share a deep passion for the work they do. At Friction the progressions are designed to be challenging for each person to build strength in order to better achieve a specific movement. When it comes to my own strength, Friction has helped me to see I am more than the box I placed myself in. I always look forward going to class, because of the coaches and everyone is supportive, encouraging and it's always fun! read more

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned athlete you will be challenged and have fun all at the same time. I can not say enough good things about Friction Crossfit. My fiancé and I started here because of groupon and stayed because how great it is! Bobby and Jeff are great coaches and I can't wait to see more people join this awesome community!! read more

I started working out at friction Crossfit a few months ago. I've been out of shape for awhile and wanted to try something besides the gym where I had no instruction with anything in there and running itself just got boring. Emphasis on I've never done Crossfit before in my life. Bobby and Jeff welcome everyone of all levels... The groups are small so you really do get one on one instruction... You make friends on your first day and cheer each other on... There are just so many good things to say about friction. There is even a free trial week for you to check it out. So what are you waiting for? read more

I used to think CrossFit folks were nuts, and spent all their time being injured because they were pushed to work beyond their capacity or without proper form and mechanics. I also thought they were all meatheads who would sneer at the new person who was overweight and out of shape. I was misinformed! Friction is the most welcoming, supportive fitness community I have ever experienced. The coaches are supremely knowledgeable and are focused on helping you get where you want to be SAFELY. My results have been dramatic in a few short months. I'm hooked! read more

I've known about CrossFit for 4-5 years but was too intimidated to try it out because of what I assumed the workouts and environment were like. Back in April, though, a friend convinced me to walk through the doors of Friction for a workout and I couldn't be happier that I decided to give it a chance! I went through the Foundations course, jumped into regular classes right afterward, and have been working out there ever since. The coaches are all very knowledgeable and welcoming, and I love being a member of this awesome community! read more

After being brutal to myself on health and fitness then I came across this place. Joined up to see how crossfit works. The coaches are great, they push you just enough. Ive learned to be patient and scale property..so I don't hurt myself again. There is never a dull moment, and you are treated like family. I recommend everyone to at least try a couple classes, promise you'll get hooked! read more
