This review is way overdue. I was on business last May and needed to find a Crossfit near my hotel…read moreso I could get a workout in. I contacted Tim (the owener and trainer) several weeks before and he could not have been nicer. Since I was not familiar with the area he was kind of enough to give me directions to the box. At that time I had been going to Crossfit for several months near my home and was looking forward to going to another one, especially out of state to see how things work. The one day I came in, I worked out with another young lady. Unfortunately, I re-aggravated a back injury so I had to cut back my work out. Tim properly showed me how to do everything and continually pushed us during the WOD even though I was in pain. While the box is small, they have all the necessary equipment to run a great Crossfit. If I am ever in the area again, I'm coming back!

1. They said that I would have 6 free work outs before they even charge my card. They claimed that…read morethey would charge my card this coming next Friday after the first free work outs. They charged it right away after my 1st session. The requirement to put your card on file to "book your free sessions" was a red flag right away. 2. They said it would be $160 a month for unlimited work out sessions but I would get the 2nd month for free and there are no hidden fees. It actually ended up being $170. They said I had to sign the paper work right away to get this deal. 3. They require you purchase a heart monitor to take their classes. I thought that the heart monitor was just part of the class because the membership itself is expensive. No. They require you buy it. And it's $140. Or you can set up a payment plan and it's an extra $40 a month. This was not mentioned to me at all. The additional fees just keep building. I was going to cancel but I feel like I can't even use up my time left there because I'm not going to go buy a heart monitor or sign up for a monthly fee to pay for said heart monitor. Besides these factors, the coaches are wonderful. You work in small groups and they work hands on with you. It's a clean, friendly environment. Additionally, I love the idea of a heart monitor but charging $140 for one just to take the class truly is a hidden fee. When I asked gym staff how much it cost you could tell that she was hesitant to tell me the cost! Coaches are amazing- Gym staff seems to actually be full of sales representatives.

From my personal experiences, there is something for everyone here. If you go enough (easy to do, hard to miss) it is well worth the monthly fee. I haven't ran since I was 20. Now I run 3-4 times a week a couple of miles here. Clean facility, mix of ages and genders, pretty cool.

Bathrooms were clean and it had plenty of parking spot.

However a middle aged female employee came up while I was working on the bag sprayed like lysol or something in a circle around me on every piece of equipment close to me, the closest bag to my left but none of the other bags in the room, sprayed a supporting pillar thats not even equipment for good measure then walked out without spraying anything else in the room simply encircling me in chemicals while avoiding everyone else. Almost feels targeted. Personally I dont enjoy choking to death on chemicals while im working out completely ruined my workout I literally had to leave 45 minutes early because I simply couldn't take it anymore, and if it wasnt just straight up intentional shes completely oblivious. It was like having a full can of axe sprayed in your face as a kid so you cant breathe. Horrible employee, everyone else has been good to me though.
