When I moved to this area I had fitness goals but no means to achieving them. Over the past three years I have been surrounded by the most thoughtful, educated and supportive community at LCCF. I 100% attest the realization of my competitive dreams to this gym; it's quality coaching staff, premium equipment / facilities and incredibly driven members. If you are looking to be surrounded by friendly people that will push you to become a better version of yourself, look no further. read more

Amazing Facility, Amazing Coaching Staff, Amazing Community We dropped in while in town with our young daughter. We were very humbled with how at home and welcomed into the Left Coast CF Family we were made to feel. High recommend, we will definitely drop by again when we are back in town Thankyou again read more

This place is unique, special and like no other CrossFit gym. I started about a month ago and everyone is so welcoming! The owner Coach Gizzy is intentional about welcoming you to the gym. I had a meeting with Coach Connor before starting and he just really wanted to get to know me, the things I was comfortable with and setting goals for myself. You'll meet Eamon at the front desk, she is amazing, full of smiles and energy. She will get you excited about getting started. Amazing community! Thank you Left Coast CrossFit for being a part of my fitness journey. read more

I'm not one for writing Yelp reviews, although I look to Yelp for a lot for recommendations. I can't say enough good things about this CrossFit gym. I have been into fitness for 10plus years and have gone to both large franchise gyms and small locally owned gyms and LeftCoast CrossFit try stands out. This was my first experience with CrossFit but nonetheless the owner Gizzi and the coaches made me feel comfortable when I was truly out of my comfort zone. Coach Connor and Coach Ryan are both amazing, Connor slows down the motions of the lifts allowing for understanding and correction. While Ryan gives you the confidence and encouragement to try new movements and increase your weight. If you're considering CrossFit this is definitely the best option, extremely friendly, clean, great class times and it's open 24/7! read more

I love this place! Great facility (sauna & plunge!) and great coaches! I have learned so much! They're so passionate at what they do. Also, great community! Come! Check us out! read more

Dropped in for a CrossFit class over the holidays & had a great workout! The gym is huge & very clean. The coaches and community were so nice and welcoming! I even got to hit their sauna with a few of the members. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

CrossFit was introduced to me while in rehab. For the 3 years I've been an active CrossFit athlete I've yet to come across a box with such a well balanced range of coaches. We are a family at Left Coast CrossFit and they always help me improve myself. I highly recommend dropping in, you won't be disappointed. Semper Fidelis read more

Left Coast Crossfit - Putting in some work, staying humble. Semper Fidelis - Trainers Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

I was commuting from Long Beach to train here with the LC Barbell Club and their head coach Ryan Belsito. Ryan is an awesome and knowledgeable coach. He has created a great program for the Olympic weightlifters and training with this group is fun, motivating, and encouraging. Coaching and cueing is always on point, I've always felt safe and confident when training here. Large platform area for lots of gains. Overall, I like the location​ and the facility is amazing, all the coaches are outgoing, all the members are nice and they have all the essentials and amenities i.e. parking, showers, kids area, 15kg barbells, curves, assault bikes, turf, rope, chalk, and some members bring their well-behaved dogs, big fan of dogs. read more

I'm new to this gym but after about a little over a month of going I think I can post a reliable review. This place is fantastic. I decided to try it out after a friend of mine, who's been a member for years, encouraged me to try it. I have absolutely no background in Crossfit or, for that matter, any other intense workout programs. I had no idea what I was doing when I first showed up and I'm still trying to figure that out - I'm a slow learner. However, everyone from the other members to the coaches had been incredible. Unbelievable instruction, encouragement and really positive vibes. Everyone's stoked to be here and they're stoked your here - even if you're just trying learn. The range of fitness and skill level really runs the gamut. There are elite athletes and there are newbies like me. No cliques, no weirdness. Any and all are welcome. I don't write a lot of reviews but Left Coast definitely deserves one. They've clearly put in a lot of work into developing a healthy culture and rad gym. I encourage anyone that's contemplating trying something new to give this a shot. It'll be a positive experience. read more

This is the best CrossFit Box in Orange County and the best I've been to in general. And I've been to a lot of the big ones around the country and abroad. The facility is excellent, plenty of room, top notch equipment, great atmosphere. The community is excellent. And the Coaches are incredible. Makes going to work out something to look forward to. read more

Decided to leave a review because EVERYONE should know about great first time experiences. I consider myself an active person not at the competitive category yet, but know a thing or two. I'm a regular trying to work my way up. I took advantage of the FREE 5:00am CrossFit class with Tim ( Kind and great coach). Accidentally scheduled with Ryan, the weightlifting coach. I arrived shy and confused, Tim approached me and welcomed me right in! He knew I was lost. He introduced himself and then introduced me to the class group. As we began our workout, Tim took the time to demo the workouts for me, and made sure I was doing the movements correctly. Very knowledgeable coach! After not stepping into a CrossFit gym for over a year, I can say I found my new Box! Members were very nice and even a few approached me to welcome me. Yes, it's worth the FREE CLASS. On my way out, Ryan made sure he met the girl who said she'd be weightlifting that morning lol. He was also very sweet and not upset I had accidentally signed up to his class. Overall, I was very satisfied with the ambiance. Can't wait to go back and work hard for my summer bod! read more

Good place to work out! It's clean and dog-friendly with water station and shade.

Did drooped in class when I visit in town. Beautiful facility, and great instructor. Amanda was a great teacher, patiently explained WOD to me despite I am new in Crossfit. I couldn't do muscle up, instead of MU, I just do burpees and jump up doing pull ups.. She is kind and friendly, also a bad ass!! I really enjoy my first dropped in class in Left Coast Crossfit. Highly recommended! read more

LCCF is more than a gym, they are family. With some of the largest space in OC, excellent equipment, friendly members and best staff around- LCCF sets itself apart from most, if not all, other gyms in Southern California. The programming is excellent and allows for people of all ages and capabilities to get the results they are looking for. read more

I stumbled upon Left Coast CrossFit when I moved to MV and noticed they had a performance class with programming beyond typical classes. The performance class allows affiliate members to come in at ANY time during the day, which is huge for someone like myself with a work schedule that is all over the place. The programming is top notch, along with the facilities. There is plenty of room for classes to be going and anyone getting in some personal work or doing the performance programming as well. The owner, coaches and other affiliate members Are extremely welcoming and the community is like a true family! read more

Dropped in from out of town to complete my Olympic weightlifting training, and these folks were so hospitable! Not only did they have everything I needed (kilo bumpers, weightlifting bars, platforms, etc.), they were also happy to share it all with me. I'll definitely be coming back to train here when I return to southern Orange County. read more

My daughter and I are so happy to have found LCCF ! It's such a great space , but more important is the great coaching . Gizzi and Josh make it fun to go ! read more

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. This place is amazing. I joined this gym last week and it already feels like a home away from home. Everyone from the coaches to the members are welcoming, friendly and supportive. I really like that they have you start with four one-on-one "foundations" sessions where a coach goes over the basics with you so that when you join the classes, you're familiar with proper form and feel comfortable. I was fortunate to be paired with Coach Tim, and he was knowledgeable, patient and really simplified everything in way I could understand. I'm really glad I joined. read more

I did some research and saw that Left Coast Crossfit was a new gym and bought an Amazon deal for 12 classes for myself and my husband. It took us a few months to actually get in the gym to use the classes. But now here we are, about two months in, and we are both attending classes regularly. The first four classes we attended are called Foundation classes. This is where we learned the basic Crossfit movements and got a taste of what to expect. All of the coaches are very helpful and patient. They really take the time to teach you each movement. Once you complete the Foundations classes, you're all set and ready to go. The Left Coast Crossfit community is great. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. There are all levels from people who have been doing Crossfit for years to people, like me, who have just started. One of the best things is that every WOD (workout of the day) is challenging and can be scaled for all levels, so everyone is always working hard. The class sizes are great. You get to workout in a group, but still get the individual attention from the coaches. I recommend Left Coast Crossfit to anyone looking to try Crossfit for the first time or to any experienced crossfitters. read more

I'm stoked on this gym. The owners Gizzi and Josh are very conscious and seem to have intimate knowledge of kinesiology, and develop their own custom workout program for the crossfit classes on a daily basis, based on the results that they monitor in Wodify. I'm pretty stoked on this unique aspect of this gym - it seems like they are passionate about fitness, and providing a family-friendly, community-based atmosphere for us all to improve our own well being. In being consistent, I've noticed results in terms of increased core and lower body strength, which has translated into better performance in surfing and boxing, the other sports I'm into. These guys have a lot of experience with fitness, and offer advice regarding injuries and how to adjust/scale workouts so that you can still get a benefit even if you can't do the exact movements that are a part of the workout program. I've found a lot of value in what they offer. I live in Costa Mesa but work in Mission Viejo about a mile away, and them having showers onsite makes it so that I can come in and work my butt off, then shower and go back to work. Having a shower there is V important. Check it out! read more

I couldn't be happier with the community at Left Coast Crossfit! My only regret is that I didn't make the transfer sooner! Not only is the facility close to home but the coaching and community really do make this place somewhere you want to be on a daily basis. The coaches are Amazing and will make sure you give it your all during class. However they will also make sure that whatever movement you're performing is correct and full range of motion. They are always willing to assist and let you know what adjustments you need to make to become a better athlete. And let's not forget the community,these guys and girls really get after it! You will become a better athlete just being around everyone! I would definitely recommend anyone that's interested in trying crossfit or just wanting to explore some other alternatives to the gym to give Left Coast Crossfit a try! read more

This place.... A+++++ I was in the area and did a drop in. I used to live in RSM and if I still did, this would be my home box! Great atmosphere, great coach, great workout. Definitely a great choice if trying to find a crossfit community. read more

I started going to Left Coast CrossFit in March of 2013. Working out is something pretty new to me, so I have always been a little hesitant about joining a gym. I've been going consistently now 4-5 times a week, and it's made a huge difference in my lifestyle. Not only do I feel healthier, but my body now has some real definition and I'm much stronger. I'm really proud of the results in just a few months. Left Coast CrossFit is a terrific gym. There are people of all skill levels and you can see people move up the ladder as their techniques become more refined. Because everyone does the same workout together, it's really great to share these experiences with new found friends in each class. I really enjoy the structure of the classes, the support of the coaches, and encouragement of the other members. My only regret is that I waited so long to find a gym like this! read more

This is a delayed review but I wanted to give these guys a review they deserve. I can only comment on the first month including the 2 introductory weeks but the coaches here are thorough and take the time to get to know you as a client and not just a "Groupon-er" if there is such a word. A few things that I really enjoyed about Left Coast: 1) Bring a friend for free on Saturdays! Yes, you can bring a bf/gf/spouse/friend for free on Saturdays for an ass kicking workout. 2) They're CLEAN. They ask that everyone wipe down the equipment after each session! Yay! They have a huge bucket of antibacterial wipes, so you don't get grossed out using the equipment like other gyms or boxes. 3) Great coaches that go through the movements before each WOD, so even if you're new, you don't feel intimidated when the workout starts. 4) Meeting new people every day. We start off by introducing ourselves before the workout and you get to talk and meet people that are like you, who want to be fit and are there to be better at something new. It really makes for a comfortable and friendly environment. Hope this was useful! read more

I had an amazing time dropping in for the week at Left Coast CrossFit! The facility is fantastic, every coach is so helpful and encouraging. Their community is so strong and motivating. I not only had fun working out but was able to learn new things to help myself get stronger. Thank you ALL for your support and encouragement. You guys are the best!! I'll definitely be dropping in another time! read more

I stopped by here for a session during my short stay in Mission Viejo, and I was quite impressed. I've been to a number of Crossfits around the country, and this one does seem especially organized. Some of the niceties include: 1) color-coded kettle bells, so you can figure out the kettle bell's weight without having to figure out the black print 2) organized and intense warmup 3) not only did the coach make an extra effort to make me feel welcome, so did the other group participants throughout the hour, knowing that it was first my first time and that I may have been feeling uncomfortable Overall great crossfit experience. And if you're traveling through the area, this place will make your hotel gym look like a music festival porta-potty. read more

CrossFit is intimidating at first look, but in reality it is one of the best decisions I have ever made for my body and mental health. The coaches at Left Coast make tremendous effort to provide a great experience for everyone. Whether you've never picked up a weight in your life or you're a Navy Seal that eats weights for lunch, this is the place to take your next step. Equipment is new, large workout area, and everything is pretty clean. Not to mention two showers, two bathrooms, lockers, kids room, right off the 5 freeway and many more things. read more

Best gym around! Coaching, programming and community is top notch. I'm proud to be a member of LCCF!

So happy I found Left Coast Crossfit! I was in a rut with my daily workout routine & was searching for something new & challenging. All the coaches are awesome & made me feel so welcome. The first few one on one "foundations " training sessions were perfect & made me feel more comfortable as I started in on the group workouts. Amazing people & awesome gym!! Loving my new workout journey! read more

Before I joined Left Coast Crossfit, I had only dabbled in crossfit. This was my first experience working out at an actual crossfit gym and I have not been disappointed. Not only are the facilities at this gym wonderful, it has everything you could possibly need for a good workout, but all of the coaches are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have been working out at this gym for four months now and I have yet to get bored or feel unexcited about working out. Every day the work outs are different and challenging. In addition to providing excellent WODs, the community at Left Coast is fantastic. Also, the owner of the gym has helped me radically change my diet and I am seeing vast improvements in my physical fitness. If you live in South County and you're looking for a crossfit gym, Left Coast is the one. I would give this gym 10 stars if that were an option. read more

My dad and I attended one of the Left Coast Crossfit classes recently and it was one of the best experiences ever! Shoutout to our instructor, Andy, who made the session so much fun! He gave us a dynamic workout that pushed our physical boundaries without over doing it! He was also very attentive and checked on us to make sure we were doing the workout right! My dad was so pleased and happy with Andy's teachings, he went up to him after class and asked for his number. Unfortunately, Andy politely declined and said he was happily married. Regardless of that, my dad and I would definitely recommend and take one of their classes again! read more

I've been a member for the past 3 years and I love this gym! The coaches are the right mix of fun/knowledgeable they really care about your limits and progress and they know when to give you the push you need. There's 9 class times a day to choose from during the week plus dedicated OLY classes 6 times/week. I also love the open gym hours and that I feel comfortable going any time to use the facilities even if I'm not joining the class. On top of all of that there's a great community of members here. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into Crossfit or Olympic weightlifting, or both! read more

Amazing coaches and community. They focus a ton on technique and correct movements Clean facility. Feels like family! read more

If you're looking for a friendly community and knowledgable, SAFE Coaching staff then LCCF is the place. My husband and I joined earlier in the year and couldn't be happier with our decision, the programming is fun, the members are friendly and the facility is well equipped. With our schedules its hard to find a CF facility that supports our additional training and every changing schedule, we love Open gym and everything about this place! read more

The coaching is top notch at Left Coast CrossFit. I've been doing CrossFit for over 5 years, and have been a member of different CF gyms, but none compares to the level of coaching that you get at Left Coast. They are so focused on proper technique and form, and growing each athlete. The improvements I have made since joining Left Coast are unbelievable. In addition to top level coaching, the community at Left Coast is amazing, and is a reflection of Coach Gizzi and Coach Josh's great ownership and management. If you're looking for a fun, positive, encouraging, motivating and supportive environment, then Left Coast is it! read more

I dropped in here over thanksgiving and was welcomed by a great friendly staff as if I was one of their daily members. I love that feeling. Had a great workout, the trainer seemed very knowledgable and encouraging during the entire duration of the wod. Definitely will come back next time I am in town. Also, its such a great idea to give a drop in the option to either pay a fee or buy a t-shirt to support their gym. Love it. read more

Let me start by saying that my time is very important to me and I would not recommend something to someone unless I truly believed in it. My experience at Left Coast has been phenomenal. Throughout my experience of living a active lifestyle, I have participated in a wide range of gyms and athletic centers. From your typical workout gyms, to your advanced sports and training centers. Left Coast Crossfit has figured out a way to create both, an encouraging community of fitness and balance between experienced and inexperienced members, while still maintaining very personalized group coaching. Weather you are athletic and are looking for a new challenge or you have no fitness experience and are interested in a change, the coaches at Left Coast will figure out ways to refine your strengths and develop your weaknesses. Besides the excellent coaching, the members that are drawn to Left Coast seem to be the kind of people that you'd truly want to associate yourself with. A gym and its coaches can do everything they can to create a great experience(and they do) but I believe that the members are the X factor in taking a gym from being "good", to being "GREAT.". In the few months that I have spent with Left Coast, I have met some of the most genuine, encouraging people. Along with the coaching staff, the family at Left Coast has encouraged, challenged and pushed me to be a little bit better at every class. The community of friends will always be irreplaceable in my book. If your like me, and had never experienced crossfit, Left Coast is the place to do it. Top of the line equipment, elite coaching, encouraging members and a stacked class schedule... They'll refine the skills of any athlete and bring the best out in any person. Thanks Gizzi and the rest of the coaches for creating an elite, challenging and encouraging atmosphere that anyone can succeed in. If there was an option for 6 stars they would get it. read more
