Came here two days ago. Loved every part of the workout--from the kind introduction, the family-community, and attention to details throughout the workout. If I lived in Chico, this would be my home gym. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Just did a drop in at North Rim. Had a really good experience from signing up for the class to the workout itself. Everyone was super nice and the class flow was great! Good coaching and a good workout overall. Highly recommend! Thanks again! read more

I stopped in for a quick look at the gym, I wanted to see what type of 'cross fit exercise's/drills they had in their classes but most importantly, I wanted to see how much space they had. I took a look at the equipment, they have a lot of it however, coming from another crossfit gym in LA, the lay out was very different then what I'm used to. Additionally, they didn't have a lot of the crossfit equipment my previous gym had. Not to say that the equipment here wouldn't be effective, it just looked... limited. The two people I spoke with (Ryan) the owner as well as (Tanya, not sure of spelling), one of the trainers were both super helpful and way nice. The only real issue I have with North Rim Crossfit is the price. They are more expensive then Equinox (THE MOST OUTSTANDING AWESOME GYM EVERRRRRR, located in LA) Equinox is super pricey and well worth every penny. These guys are $70 more a month!! REALLY?? Their prices are $145 per month (month to month) or $120 a month if you buy into a year membership. They both said anyone could take one free class to see what the classes were like and also to figure out their fitness level. *I like that* The membership gets you unlimited access, Ryan mentioned that if a person wanted to attend 2 classes a day, they could. I couldn't imagine anyone actually attending two times in a day unless they were training for WWF. A bit too pricey for me and I'm not training for a fight however, it seems like a cool space to get in kick a$$ shape. read more

North Rim CrossFit - Partner workouts are an easy way to make friends! - Trainers Near Me - Chico, California

I love this place! They are clean, professional and personable. I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of their trainers who are all lovely people! My favorite part is their approach to training. The trainers take the time to teach you the moves, encourage you to modify workouts for your body and make sure you're being safe. There's a true sense of camaraderie within the classes and the right level of friendly competition and support. I am seeing wonderful improvements in my strength and abilities as well as in my physique. My husband has joined in the fun and loving the experience as much as I am! read more

Ryan and the staff here are great. They provide awesome programming that is accessible as well as challenging for many different fitness levels. I am from the Sacramento area and attend a different CrossFit gym, and Ryan was able to set me up temporarily, so that I did not miss out on any exercise while being here in Chico for school. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Was up north working a fire last year and the owner was super cool. Ryan let us use the gym in non normal times, gym is very well put together, nice equipment, and friendly community. Definitely a good spot to stop in if your in the area. Thanks again Ryan. read more

New to CrossFit and NorthRim has made it a great experience! Classes are fun, the instruction is helpful, and the people are welcoming!

This gym is the biggest and longest running Crossfit facility in the Chico area for a reason. As a college student looking for a crossfit affiliate to join, I couldn't have found a better community to become a part of. Lean muscle gain, body fat loss, and better quality of life are all just by-products of crossfit, but what keeps me coming back is the community here that puts as much emphasis into having fun as they do in how hard they work. Plus this gym is dog friendly and there's a super cool front desk lady ;) read more

North Rim CrossFit - Trainers Near Me - Chico, California

North Rim Crossfit is 2nd to none, I was traveling for work, and just so happens that it was during The Open and need to complete one of the workouts. I emailed Ryan and asked to drop in. Ryan contacted me and let me know I could drop in at any time and asked if need anything. When I got there, Brittany was coaching and got me all set up and ready to go. Great Coaches, great facility, great members. What a perfect example of a CrossFit Box, truly what it's all about. Thank you Ryan and North Rim Crossfit read more

It's always hard to find a good gym when working out of town, thank god for Crossfit North Rim. The trainers are super informative and take the time to teach you form and technique. As a newbie to crossfit, I was intimated on going, but Ryan definitely made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend everyone to check this place out. read more

I had the pleasure of dropping in to this box while visiting from San Diego, and cannot say enough good things about North Rim Crossfit. Ryan immediately responded to my email and let me know that he would be there to meet us for our drop-in time/workout. He was truly professional and welcoming. The facility itself is the nicest crossfit gym I have ever stepped into. Everything is top-of-the-line and all of the equipment is extremely well-maintained or brand new. Huge space for the workout. To top it all off, Ryan let me know that we did not have to pay a drop-in fee... he feels that's the way it should be at all crossfit boxes. Awesome! I can't wait to visit again and get in a great workout.... and hopefully purchase a shirt or two. Thanks again Ryan! read more

One of the most desired places to workout in NorCal. I have had the pleasure of working out at several boxes throughout CA and Northrim has to be hands down one of the nicest gyms I've been. I always make it a priority to drop in for a workout whenever I am in the area visiting family. Not only do they have great equipment and super clean facility, but their coaching staff is excellent. Throughout the Crossfit community it is very well known that a gym is only as good as its programming and its coaches. From all the times I have been able to drop in, I have had the opportunity to get to know Ryan, the owner, on a personal level. Ryan and his coaches are always a step ahead in getting the proper continuing education for the sport of fitness. With so many movements involved and where technique and safety should never be overlooked, Northrim has shown to me they are superior in staying on top of these things with all of their clients, whether new or advanced. This is coming from me, a person who coaches Crossfit classes on a daily basis. Bottom line, if you are ever in the area or are thinking about joining a Crossfit gym in the area i highly recommed Northrim. Great vibe, friendly and extremely knowledgeable! read more

Best gym around without a doubt! Besides the work outs being killer because of Ryan's amazing programming, it's really the atmosphere that I come here for. You've got young, old, families, students, dogs, kids, and they are all so friendly and supportive. This gym is truly the best part of my day, everyday! Also: Large facility Super clean Great quality equipment What more could you ask for ‍ read more

Dropped in this morning from the Bay Area because of all of the great reviews and I had an awesome experience! Ryan and his team have built a really great community as I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. The best part is that I was treated the same as any member - NRCF doesn't charge for drop-ins, but Coach Brittany coached me up there like I was a regular member. I got some great pointers on my snatch technique and hit my PR during the class! If you live near Chico, I highly recommend trying and joining NRCF. This will be a destination for me every time I'm back in Chico. read more

Found them on google when I was working out of town for a week or so and wanted to find a place to work out. Talked on the phone with the owner Ryan and instantly was happy I called. I am a beginner when it comes to crossfit and dropped in on a Sunday open gym session. They helped me get started and everyone there was super nice. This is my place to go when I'm up in Chico for sure. If you live In the area you definitely need to check them out! read more

This gym is 5 stars all around! I love the community that Ryan, the owner, and his trainers cultivate on a daily basis. The facility is spacious & very clean, equipment is top-of-the-line, and the coaching is excellent. If you are looking for a gym that is so much more, go check it out! read more

I drop in all over the US and this place is best in class. The gym is clean and new. People are super nice. Best in class box for sure.

I've been to many CrossFit gyms all over and North Rim is the best all around. It is a clean, large facility, with great equipment, great people, and the programming is awesome. I always come here when I am in Chico and looking for a workout. I wish I lived in Chico and could go here everyday. Highly recommended to anyone interested in CrossFit. read more

Absolute blast working out here. Ryan is great, the trainers are great, and the atmosphere is even better. More like a family to me than a gym, best gym in Chico read more

North Rim CrossFit is an amazing place. The workouts are so good, but the best part is the people and culture. Case and point; I took my three year old daughter with me to workout and she usually loves their child care, but I had just woken her up from a nap and she was really cranky and crying. It was becoming a problem, and instead of having me stop my workout to get my daughter, Shea (one of the owners) sat with my daughter one-on-one for thirty minutes while I was able to finish my workout. My daughter ended up having a great time, and I was able to get a great workout. That's the kind of atmosphere and people that run the gym. You just get the sense that they really care about people. For sure five star experience! read more

I just dropped in a couple times over the holiday since my home box is in LA. Gotta say I really like North Rim. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable. Drop ins are free (which is awesome) and the vibe is unpretentious. They were still in the smaller space when I went but I imagine things will only get better when they move to the larger corner space. Membership prices are excellent, facilities are good, and some serious athletes work out here so can only be a good thing. read more

I was looking for a place to workout on a Sunday, lucky me I found this amazing place! The staff and people were very welcoming. Ryan was very welcoming and a great athlete! It was open gym day so mostly everyone was doing their own thing, which was ok with me. I recommend this place to anyone that does the art of crossfit, and even if you don't, go check them out! Great coaches! read more

From the moment I walked in I was welcomed and felt right at home. The girl at the front desk was very friendly and professional and walked me in to the gym to meet the owner and coach. He then introduced me to everyone and showed me where everything was. The members were all positive and encouraging and the programming was tough but great. Amazing environment! If I lived in Chico there is no doubt that I would be a member here. Any time I am in town I will be dropping in. Thank you Northrim crossfit! read more

North Rim is as good as it gets. Top Crossfit spot in Chico for sure! My wife and I have been going there for half a year or so now, definitely seen improvements to our overall health and wellbeing. Coming from a background of NEVER working out, it was definitely hard at first...well still is, but it's a good hard. Overcoming the daily challenges of the workouts is the greatest feeling. They recently moved to a huge location which has been awesome to have the space for larger classes. The best part of the gym is the community for sure. Everyone is super encouraging and it doesn't' matter what level you're at, everyone is in it together. Ryan and the trainers are cutting edge, always keeping things fresh and fun. They recently even released an iPhone app to go along with the gym to help track your progress and PR's. All and all, we're stoked on this gym and are here to stay! read more

I got started at North Rim last month and it was a great experience. Possible one of best, professionally ran and genuine Cross-Fit gyms in the country. Great trainers. read more

North Rim Crossfit is an amazing box. I dropped in during my Christmas break and everything was unbelievable. The staff is knowledgeable, the equipment is top of the line, and the members are friendly. This is definitely the gym I would join if I lived in Chico. read more

Amazing gym. Super good layout, plenty of equipment. Ryan was really accommodating and helpful. Highly recommended.

I've been coming to North Rim CrossFit regularly for about three years now and I have to say it has literally changed my life. It's the only workout routine that I've ever been able to sustain for longer than a few months. Before North Rim, I'd go to the gym for a month or two and then lose interest. That's not the case here. I've met tons of new friends and I love the positive atmosphere and coaching from Devon and Ryan. Everybody is friendly and encouraging no matter where you are at in life. To me, that kind of positivity makes the experience worthwhile. They make the workouts fun, but are also very mindful of the type of programming they do. You won't be deadlifting three days in a row or anything crazy here. CrossFit can sometimes get a bad rap for injuries and their first priority is creating workouts that push you while still giving you time to recover safely. Without a doubt, Ryan and Devon are easily the two MOST EXPERIENCED CROSSFIT TRAINERS IN CHICO. They've been regional competitors for the last few years which is a huge accomplishment. Most people who are new to CrossFit don't understand that, but basically imagine getting coached in track or swimming or whatever by two trainers that are in the top 0.5% in the country at what they do. Ryan is also certified in a lot of other programs besides CrossFit so he brings a wide variety of knowledge with him. It's not a knock on other gyms, but I just don't see the same depth and breadth of knowledge and personal accomplishments from trainers at other local spots. I've heard this reiterated countless times by other members who have switched to North Rim from other places. If you are interested in competing or a collegiate athlete, Ryan can help with that as well. The facilities and equipment are nice and they just keep getting better and better. Ryan is constantly putting money back into the business and getting more gear for his clients. From the floor to the bathrooms, everything is very clean and organized. Ryan might be a little OCD about that, but it makes the experience better for everybody. The last thing I'll say is if you think I am biased, read the other reviews. Many of them are from people who have dropped into NRCF from other gyms. I recently started checking out gyms while traveling and there is a HUGE difference. Not all CrossFit gyms are created equally. I've been to some great ones and some not so great ones. They are all owner-run so the quality varies tremendously. If people from out of town think it's a great place to workout while visiting, that's saying something. read more

I dropped in for a class and could not have had a better experience. Ryan is one of the friendliest and gregarious gym owners I've come across. He takes the time to get to know each of his clients and after an hour in his gym he knew everything about me. On top of his welcoming personality, he knows a little bit about Crossfit too! He takes his time explaining the movements and the WOD. The gym is large and very clean (we cleaned the barbell with a wet wipe after the WOD!) After contacting other gyms in the Chico area to drop in, I chose wisely and would recommend North Rim to all visitors. It's a good way to earn that Sierra Nevada Pale Ale! read more

I love this box! Whenever I'm in town visiting family I HAVE to stop in at least once. The coaches are amazing. I've been to the box about 10 different times and have been to classes coached by a few different coaches and they are all equally great and knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The programming is challenging and obviously meticulously thought out. I always get a great WOD in and learn some new tips on my lifts. The OLY class on Saturdays is particularly awesome and typically not too big so there is a lot of individual attention - I learn so much. Thanks guys! *Also their t-shirt/tank top designs are always DOPE read more

This place is great, I was in Chico for 3 weeks for work and needed a crossfit gym. I called and talked to Ryan and he was extremely kind and helpful. The whole crew was great and made me feel welcomed and at home. I really enjoyed the programming, every workout was challenging and rewarding. They also have a variety of class times which was a plus for me and my schedule. If your looking for a gym I highly recommend North Rim. read more

My wife and I have been members at North Rim CrossFit for a year and half now and honestly this is a fantastic place to work out for all ability levels. Ryan and staff are all very professional, positive, and supportive. The community is supportive, friendly, and welcoming. I've dropped into numerous other CrossFit gyms while traveling North Rim CrossFit is by far the best we are lucky to have it as our home gym. You can't go wrong don't hesitate give North Rim a try. read more

Best gym around! The coaches know what they are doing and have a TON of experience, all of our coaches qualified for NorCal regionals this year, (as well as in the past!) that alone tells me I'm learning from some of the best! They are very supportive and there for every member no matter what the class size! I have been a part of another crossfit gym before but it wasn't until I started at North Rim that I began to excel! North Rim is seriously my second family, it's a community and you get to know everyone and support each other! I have always felt very welcome! They have several class times all throughout the day, as well as an oly lifting class & open gym times. What's awesome is the coaches are more than happy to help you work on a new skill or lift. Also the price is incredibly reasonable compared to other crossfit gyms. I am a student and signed a contract which helped get me a great price. They allow you to check it out and do a workout for free! I highly recommend it! The daily workouts are on their website :) read more

I have been a member with NRCF for roughly a year and a half. I LOVE this place. The programming is fantastic, Ryan (the owner) and all of the trainers are very approachable and helpful, and the members are down to earth and friendly. There is no arrogance at this gym, despite the amazing talent and strength, which is awesome. It is also super affordable (as far as crossfit memberships go). I have been to a number of other boxes and NRCF takes the cake. No egos allowed, just good times, hard work, lots of sweat, and adorable puppies. Hitting NRCF is by far always the best part of my day. read more

I dropped in at North Rim Crossfit in Chico and felt right at home. I go to Morgan Hill Crossfit in the Bay Area so I am familiar with the Crossfit community. The workout was right on point and the trainer was very knowledgeable. The members welcomed me right when I got there. I will be going back. I need to buy a shirt. Thank you North Rim. read more

I've been working out here for several months now. My husband signed me up to change my workout routine and because he thought I needed a "new" challenge. I have worked out consistently for several years and run half and full marathons as a hobby. Coming here was initially intimidating with all the big weights and challenging workouts and I'll be honest, I was intimidated and unsure! The workouts are challenging but the encouragement and guidance is surely provided here by the coaches. There are people at different levels and the fact the coaches spend more time with those of us starting out is great. They focus on form with those of us beginners, but still challenge us. I walk out of there knowing I've gotten a great workout and surely feeling stronger. For the first time, I broke my PR (personal record) during a half marathon by 4 minutes since starting Crossfit here and was not as tired after the run. I attribute it to the training I've gotten here, as my endurance has surely gotten better. I highly recommend North Rim Crossfit! read more

As a box owner myself, I know where to look to see if a gym is cutting corners: North Rim is sharp on all facets. Ryan and his team have a solid program, great facility, and friendly culture. If you're looking for a gym to inspire you and push you out of your comfort zone, try this gym. read more
