The culture is not inclusive, and the environment is highly politicized: pro-gun, anti-BLM, and anti-mask propaganda everywhere.

I found a love for Xfit over 3 years ago @ another box…read more Having absolutely NO experience in any sport and ALL the experience in "habits that are bad 4 me", I jumped in on a personal dare as I hit major turning points in my life. That's where I met James, Hannah, & Tracey:). Over time, I realized I enjoyed James' discipline & coaching above the others because it focused on personal best and not making it a contest. He also gave me a taste for the "Strongman" which our former box seemed to shy away from. I was thrilled when they opened their own place & happily followed them along (with my dog, Mango). Crossfit & Strongman is not elitist athleticism as some would believe or advertise. It's more evolved than that for me. It's mental therapy from my work & my life. It's physical therapy. It's anger management. It was the "Goldilocks" in my fitness where all my attempts with other gyms & fad diets failed. So much $$$ wasted... if I had only knew then what I know now, right? FFE is community, family, people who throw down, cheer each other on then sometimes throw back a few beers after (or ciders). It's balance because life is about balance. They keep healthy realistic. Mango & I can't wait to meet all the new members. See you all out on the floor in "recovery" position;). #SweatAngelsEverywhere

My boyfriend and I have been at BPF/CFRA for two months now and we absolutely love it…read more Crossfit is not cheap but the dedication of the coaches, the friendly group of people, and the amazing results are worth every penny. Some of our classes are just a few people and the personalized instruction is something you can't get at most gyms without paying for personal training (now that's expensive). We were crossfit newbies and Jim went over the basis with us so we would be ready for class. Our first few weeks were tough and it continues to be but in just a short amount of time we can both feel the difference in our energy, stamina, and strength. Meg is an amazing coach and knows just how to push you to be your best. She cares about your success and health. When my bf hurt his back she ran to buy him a heat pack in the middle of class and sat by him for the rest of it. I can't say enough positive things about this box and am so happy we made the decision to start!

This place is cash only and let's you pay lump sum and will waive enrollment fee if so. More places are starting to offer the lump sum option now instead of me having to ask for it. I was looking for a gym for one month but it is tough because either I am paying an enrollment fee AND one month which isn't worth it at all, or I pay by the class and some places have very limited hours. I could probably do Planet again or even Orange Theory but I was hoping to find a more local place. If this place was a closer commute for me, it would be worth it for me to sign up for a year. I want a self paced place since most places are either you get pushed and if you take a break or go too slow, you have to leave or are asked what is wrong with you. Everyone has different needs and wants. Or I do not have a budget for a personal trainer and some of the ones I have had at chain gyms are really particular about who they want to work with, and paying in full beforehand is not always enough sadly. I have a gym reimbursement fund but I have used it up for the year and that is a factor that is important to me too. At the end of the day, I understand that part of a gym experience (for me) is picking a place that will not overly stress me out. Accessibility and getting for what I paid's worth and all the peculiarities are important to me. You can't get 24-7 access unless you pay for a full year. This was probably the biggest clincher for me. Also as it is a small community atmosphere gym, holiday hours are not necessarily reflected on signs and website. You just have to ask or make it work. It is also cash only. 12/22/23 addition: When I first came to ask about enrollment options during hours, they were closed early for that and I got an announcement through the Ring bell to come back the next day, which thankfully I could. When I came back the next day, I was told a little story about how a "bum" came up one time just fiddling around with the door like nobody's business. Then, when the owner spoke through the Ring bell, the "bum" thought Jesus had spoken to him and he behaved himself after that! The joy of technology!! In my opinion, this is a good gym choice if you want a self paced workout and can pay in full for the year for the 24-7 access. Also, if you aren't looking for something that has a clean and polished look, which I don't need but I am open to either way, this is a good choice.

Due to staff turnover from COVID, we started with a new trainer, Brad Martin. He asked us what do you want to work on. I told him our ages, mid to later 50's and that we aren't competing for anything and asked, given that, what should we be working on. He said, strength, balance, flexibility, and stamina. Ok, so that's the plan. In just 90 days I can say I feel better and stronger than I've ever been. My posture is better and I'm excited to enter ski season feeling so strong. The proof is in my ability to do yard work and physical activity easily and without injuring myself, which was previously quite common. I had two shoulder problems over the last 2 years and they both are feeling great. Strong, flexible with a much-improved range of motion and no pain. I highly recommend and endorse Platoon Fitness and Brad Martin. Let it snow.

Joey (owner/trainer) is so nice but isn't afraid to call you out if you're not giving 100%. If you don't like profanity, maybe this isn't the place for you. Personally I love it, that's prob why I keep coming back. Classes run 50 minutes. Start with a 10ish minute warm up of ab/arm workouts. In groups of four, you then move through stations: heavy bag, speed bag, double end bag. In between, you're doing whole class cardio activities: jump rope, burpees, push ups, crab walk, bear crawl, etc. During all stations, Joey is constantly walking around and fixing form. There are no breaks, bring water and a towel. I'm definitely sore after each class and I'm pretty in shape. My only complaint is the gloves, make sure to wash your hands on the way out. Yes they're clean-ish, just smelly. But hey, he offers gloves to borrow so thats kewl. OH ALSO! Classes are offered at awesome times for all those in the full time work misery. Morning (6-9am), lunch, and evening (530-730pm). Single drop in classes are $27. I hope he runs some specials.

He's got a zero bullshit tolerance and I can respect that. To the people who complain that they aren't allowed into class late, the classes are less than an hour so you should really be getting there EARLY to make sure you're getting the benefit of the entire class. Boxing is a wonderful sport and everyone I have met through it is extremely disciplined and Joey is no different. Give Joltin' Jabs a try and see if you can hang! Get there. Get there early. Get a great workout. Repeat.
