Everything about Chalk Box has changed my outlook on life and my health in every aspect. I signed up for the 6 Week Challenge, on a whim and it may just be one of the best decisions I've ever made. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, the coaches are fun, friendly and supportive and the workouts are incredibly fun. The thought of Cross Fit had me a little intimidated at the beginning but even someone like myself who is not very athletic nor in good shape felt that the workouts were totally doable; both challenging and fun. I lost 17.3 lbs, 3.7% body fat and close to 21 inches from my body while participating in the Chalk Box 6 Week Challenge. I'm so excited to continue my weight loss and fitness journey here with all of these incredible coaches and members! read more

Great coaches and facility! I've coming here for a little more than a year. Prior to that I had been doing CrossFit consistently for 5 years. I was looking for a change so I signed up for individual programming. It's been great to get workouts tailored to me and my goals. I've been able to get stronger in all of the accessory lifts that get overlooked in CF and as a result I'm seeing the results I want. If you're looking for a gym check Chalkbox out. read more

I've been doing this for 2 weeks and I am seeing some results. I'm down 5 lbs in 2 weeks. The staff is very friendly and the other members are very supportive. I appreciate the food plan they set me up with. It is helping me learn how to eat again. Five years of post divorce eating and this has been a huge factor in reminding me that cookies for dinner is not in my best interest. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is classes. I would like to see more class options and an extra time slot or 2. read more

I started the 6 week challenge March 31st. It has been so awesome!!! The work outs are challenging and fun, all the coaches are very supportive and really help motivate you. I look forward to coming in and working out. Even at the beginning of this, and I had doubts and fears that I would fail.. I'm so glad I took a chance. And now I am closing in on 6 weeks and I can not say enough fantastic things about every thing and every one at Chalkbox. I have lost 21.5 lbs and 4.8% of my body fat! I would highly recommend this gym! It is seriously the best!! read more

I cant say enough. The whole support team is amazing and motivated us through everything. I ended up down 8% body fat and am feeling, not even joking, like a new person. Running up stairs is a breeze and even simple things like getting up in the morning are easier. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have been in the challenge group. If you have the opportunity, seize it. There is no way in which you'll be sorry. The gym is fully equipped and the wods charged with the best workouts. My nutritional gains have been amazing too. I went from eating like crap to now knowing what I need to do to stay healthy inside and out. Love everything about Chalkbox. read more

Completed the 6 week challenge and was owed my deposit back. Went in to get it and the owner told me he didn't have the money to pay me back so I had to go to my bank and dispute the charge. He's now disputing my dispute. What a stand up guy. I've talked to others and so far nobody's been given a refund. Some have been waiting 4 months. He just blocks you and ignores you. The only positive thing about chalkbox is the trainers are amazing! read more

For $225/mo, copy&paste programs, dishonesty in coaching capabilities, and a lack of commitment to dedicated athletes.... No, I wouldn't recommend ChalkBox. I trained and worked at this facility for 2.5 years, and while I made progress in my overall fitness (thanks to MY dedication to NUTRITION, which ChalkBox never assisted me in, at all, yet wanted to take credit for), I also remained stagnant in my primary focus...Olympic Weightlifting, and not by lack of my own effort. As a passionate athlete wanting to break into the competitive sport of weightlifting, I trusted Joseph with his claims to be capable of teaching me and progressing me within the sport. We focused specifically on training me as such, for the latter year of my time there. Fast-Forward to October last year, getting to the first weightlifting meet we had been training for, Joseph informed me that he would not even be attending the meet he had been training me for (my first meet, mind you) because HE HAD A HALLOWEEN PARTY TO ATTEND THE NIGHT BEFORE. I was paying $225 a month as an employee for my coach to blow me off for a halloween party he was planning on being too hungover from to be able to commit to me as much as I had been committing to him and his gym. When I confronted Joseph about finding a new coach because of this and his clear dishonesty of knowledge on how to properly train a competitive weighlifter, he insulted me in asking if I felt I was a good enough athlete to need a better coach...... I continued training within the ChalkBox facility under the instruction of a remote coach with a clear history of progressing athletes in the sport of weightlifting. Immediately seeing progress IN MY FIRST DAY and continued progress since! (Paying a fraction of the price I was at ChalkBox.) With an abrupt end to my employment and facility use in January, after years of commitment to ChalkBox and the community I greatly contributed to in many ways, I truly believe it is my duty to finally share my experience there. *********************************** Worth noting.... -Having known a client nearly lose her life to Rhabdo after being pushed to continue during a workout (as an entry level athlete)... -The ridiculous calorie restrictive diet they implement for newcomers that does nothing but cause failure and the idea that success will come if you just sign up for more read more

Chalk box was awesome. Loved my coach Buffy. She really pushed me to get results. At the start lf my six week challenge i weighed 239. At the end of the challenge i weighed 218lbs. Great group i worked with. Kim the nutritionist was a big help on meal prepping. And they really care. If your looking for a challenge this is definitely one to go for. read more

The best gym experience. Everyone from the coaches to the other members are supportive and excited for your personal victories. Coach Joe has been the best coach and cheerleader. He keeps me accountable and provides awesome individual programming that fits my needs. I feel stronger and look better than I have in years!! read more

Amazing trainers, great community and real results! I have been with ChalkBox Training for almost a year and look forward to going every day! 100% worth the commitment! read more

I love all of the trainers they are very knowledgeable and helpful, they want to see you succeed! A very welcoming atmosphere!!!

I was hesitant to get started on the 6-week challenge but I'm glad I did. The coaches are very supportive and walk with you every step of the way, from teaching proper workout techniques and sharing recipes for the meal planning, to daily encouragements. The small gym community is nothing but encouraging and uplifting. I attempted to lose 5% body fat in 6 weeks and ended up losing over 7% by following the strict diet and exercise plans! read more

I started the six week challenge not knowing what to expect, but I knew I needed something o push me in the the right direction.Erika and Derek are awesome, always there to answer questions and to motivate us. The only issue I had was with the 3D fit scanner. There were quite a few issues with it not scanning correctly ( giving no measurements on my neck and waist) which made it very to track my progress. At the end of the 6 week challenge I lost 25.5 lbs. read more

The staff here are highly supportive of your goals, and working with you to help you meet them! The environment is very energetic and team oriented, so I don't feel like I am flying solo! I am able to work at my own strength and ability, and feel stronger after every workout! read more

The 6-week challenge has taught me quite a bit. In the beginning I had received a message from my friend that we should check this out. Me thinking 6 weeks what are we getting ourselves into?! let's just do it and give it a go. So we did and here we are six weeks later. I loved our leaders Erika and Derek who encouraged us, cheered us on, and answered any questions we had. Kim was very awesome with responding quickly on nutrition questions. I loved that as a group we all encouraged each other and cheered eachother on. One thing that every workout I noticed myself doing was reading the random writing of FOCUS in random spots of the gym and for some reason that helped me too. I have learned quite a bit about nutrition and have made better habits I noticed about 3 weeks in I started missing attending classes when we had a break from Saturday morning to Tuesday it felt like it was forever and couldn't wait to get back tuesdays and push myself again. Over all it was a really good experience. read more
