Let's talk about Morrisville Community CrossFit!
My first experience with CrossFit was with MCCF. I was SO NERVOUS to start, I didn't know what to expect, and I was unsure about who I would be working out with... would it be a bunch of meat heads? As advised by my friends who do CrossFit back home, I did my research and looked for a gym with coaches with more than an L1 certification, but a background in exercise science, personal training, etc. I was fortunate to go to the grand opening and immediately met (what I continuously feel here) is the importance of COMMUNITY. Everyone was supportive and cheered each other on throughout the entire opening day. One of the members stayed by my side the entire time, and convinced me (thank goodness) to sign up for a 6 month membership.
The one year anniversary of the gym opening, and my 1 year of starting at MCCF. Here's a summary of my year's experience here:
Coaching and Programming: The head coaches have education and experience that is evinced by the way they communicate and the gains the members make. The programming here is thought out, thorough, and has purpose. It is difficult, but that's the point. Everything is able to be modified, and the coaches do not pressure you to do more than what you (think you) are capable of. This programming has attracted members of other gyms because of all mentioned above. Warm-ups are thorough and geared towards the work out of the day. The workouts are posted on Wodify the night before. The coaches focus on FORM and not the number of reps you do. The Coaches are ALWAYS supportive, give constructive cues, and know how to have fun.
Community: The members at MCCF are truly wonderful. This includes the coaches who work out alongside the members. Whether you finish last doing everything modified, or just hit a huge pr, every single person will cheer you on and high-five you after. THIS is the main reason I enjoy and keep going to my gym. Whether you are new or an experienced crossfitter, everyone is welcomed and supported. The members are enthusiastic about the working out, but being excited to work out with a group of friends is a great thing to look forward to.
Equipment and Facilities: All the equipment is new, clean, and there is plenty of it. The gym is one of the largest in the area. The ceilings are high and there are 4 climbing ropes for workouts that require them. The gym and bathrooms are always kept clean. There are about 7 ergs (rowing machines) and a large rig for pull ups, push-ups, etc. For workouts that have running, the parking lot loop around the building is great for having enough space and not bumping into each other. There is a children's play room with games and toys to keep the little ones busy while mom and dad get their awesome workout in.
I travel a lot for work and have formed these thoughts over seeing what other gyms do. Some gyms are small, with inexperienced coaches, with old equipment and rude and not friendly members.
So... what are you waiting for?? Join us for a BBQ the first Friday of every month, or every Saturday at 10a, or any other day to check it out! Come check it out! I guarantee a friendly face from the community will greet you when you walk in! read more
