We drop-in to CrossFit Manassas when we visit my parents in Haymarket, VA, and it is the best box I…read morehave ever visited. Not only do the staff and members welcome you with open arms (which is somewhat expected in CrossFit), but the coaches go the extra step to understand your strengths and weaknesses before the workout to ensure they can do everything in their ability to make you better and get as much value from the workout as possible. The staff's overall love and understanding of CrossFit shines through in the programming and the progressions/scales they provide to their members to ensure the highest quality CrossFit experience possible. In talking to the owner, the rigorous process and the required continuing education the coaching staff is required to maintain is unprecedented which also leads to a better CrossFit experience for both members and visitors. In our last visit, the box lived up to their unofficial name of "PR City" as I PR'ed my bench press - yes they programmed a regular bench press (not floor press) because they have enough racks and benches for the ENTIRE CLASS. Which leads me to another amazing aspect of the box - the equipment. Not only do they have a massive rig in the middle that can accommodate a ton of people, but they also have a dedicated area that has permanent gymnastic mats along the wall giving you a great place to work on handstand progressions or wall walks. Not to mention the massive amount of oly plates and rowers, but rarities at most boxes, but they have an OUTSIDE rig and dedicated stone pit. The use of technology to further the member experience is impressive as well. The staff encourages each member to report and track progress on beyondthewhiteboard, so that measurable results can be achieved. My wife, who is a Level 1 CrossFit Trainer at our home gym, said after our last visit, if we moved out of PA, we should consider the Manassas area just so she can coach and train at this facility. If you are visiting or considering trying CrossFit you cannot go wrong with starting at CrossFit Manassas.

We dropped in when we were in Manassas over Labor Day weekend for a buddy's wedding. He's a big…read moreCrossFit fan/cult member, so we wanted to support him, and try CrossFit for our first (well, my second) time. We were immediately greeted by the two giant Mastiffs they have (which I can only assume also do CrossFit), and Jennifer got us checked in and introduced us to Coach Doug. They gave us a quick rundown of the workout for the day, and where all of the equipment was if we needed it. We met a few of the other people in the session, and it was great to see people of all skill levels knocking out the workout. It seemed like Doug and Jennifer gave us a little extra special attention because we were beginners, but they focused on safety and the right technique first, before they moved into building strength. I can safely say this is the first time I have done CrossFit and not injured myself. The facility had a lot of equipment in great condition, and they had a huge screen on the side of the wall that showed heart rate levels of some of the people in our session - it was very cool, and I enjoyed geeking out during the workout. The workout was good - not too intense, but my body is a little sore the next morning. Coach Doug even hung out with us for a few minutes after to encourage us to keep doing CrossFit if we feel it's right for us, and find something that works for us in our own towns. Overall, a great experience, very knowledgeable and fun group of people, and I would definitely recommend to anyone in the Manassas area - if nothing else, just drop in and try them out. We had a blast. Thanks, Doug and Jennifer! My shoulders thank you too.

So according to their rules, you have to 'maybe' want to get a membership after the "FREE" trial.. which means you have to be a resident. So after my friend drove us 30 minutes to get here, I am told by the staff member since I'm visiting from Los Angeles, I can't come in, but my friend can...? I very politely pleaded as he refused to let me in. No big deal, so I ask for the manager. This gentlemen walks up to her and says he needs assistance with a winky face to the manager! The manager looks over as if I'm bothering her, so I continue to politely ask if I can workout since I leave in 2 days and signed up for this scam. Nope, $15. Now, I can pay the $15 no problem.. but the point is, It reaks of those fishy free trial scams and I refuse to support a business of this nature. I never write reviews like this, and I have never experienced such rude and disrespectful behavior from a "manager". I am making sure to make this aware online, as well as with the FTC, but wanted to make the people here at yelp aware as well.

The whole facility is very clean and nice, and it's affiliated with GMU. People from Mason were practicing things like color guard in some of the spaces. The rec center also looks like the run a daycare for parents who work out, so you might want to check it out if you live in PWC. The cost was $10 for adults and $7 for kids. It's the same for those inside and outside of the county. The pool area features: -a big lap pool -a "beach" going in to the leisure pool -splash buckets that topple over! -a "lazy channel"--a very miniature lazy river. It goes pretty slow. Too lazy for us! -a hot tub -a whirlpool section with jets that push you around in a circle! This was my daughter's favorite part! -a very fun looking slide with twists and turns. Must be 48 inches to ride, but it wasn't on today anyway. Not a bad plan B on a cold January day :)
