Take all of the negative stereotypes that you may have heard about CrossFit gyms (called boxes) and…read morethrow them out the window. I've been going to CFR for a little over three months now, and I can't say enough good things about this place. I wanted to wait to write this review until I had been here awhile and could provide a less biased opinion. Some friends had been trying to get me to join for almost 6 months before I finally gave in and decided to give it a try. First off let me preface by saying that CFR is about as inexpensive as it comes when you're talking about CrossFit boxes, but that doesn't mean it's cheap. At $100/month, it's more than triple what I used to pay for my old globo gym (see my other reviews to find out who that was). For that price, though you get so much more than just a sterile environment where you go in, stick headphones on your ears and isolate yourself from the world for an hour or two. There is also a set of Elements classes that you have to take before you can take the regular CrossFit classes. These cost $50 ($55?) and you take three classes, where they introduce you to the basic movements associated with CrossFit, and have you do a WOD each class. CFR is a wide-open area with lots of barbells, a great pull-up rig, and....0 machines other than rowers. That's right; no ellipticals, no treadmills, no leg press. Get ready to use every stabilizer muscle that those machines have been hiding deep down in your body, because the free weights will expose them, and you will be sore at first. You'll learn to love the soreness associated with the WODs (Workout Of the Day). Dan & Heather, co-owners of CFR, are incredible people who genuinely care about each and every one of their members. Each of the coaches there have been amazing with helping individuals learn proper form on their lifts, and offering advice when it's needed. Not only have I lost weight & become much stronger since joining CFR, but I'm more confident in my body and what it can do. When I would lift in the traditional globo gym, I had babied my shoulders for years after previous injuries. When some lifts were added to the WODs that I wasn't sure I would be able to do, I wanted to try and to them at prescribed weight (RX). Even if I wasn't able to do them at the start, I would find a weight that I could do, and still to the RX movement at least. I had never been able to do traditional squats due to pain in my shoulder; had never dreamed about even attempting a handstand pushup, hadn't done a pull-up since I was in 2nd grade, and overhead squats, still the bane of my existence, were more of a nightmare than a pipedream. Now I squat more than my bodyweight; I've gotten a few handstand push-ups, can do multiple consecutive strict pull-ups, and while I struggle still with overhead squats, I can do them. Bring your water bottle, a positive attitude, and get ready to work your ass off with an amazing group of people, who will support you throughout your entire workout. The saying that best exemplifies CrossFit, and CFR in particular, "The only sport where the loudest cheers will be for the last to finish."

The only major knock on this gym is that the owner tries to train roughly 20-25 high school kids at a time. They have no respect or gym ettiquet and pretty much clog up everything in the gym. Very, very inconsiderate to the paying members that go year round. From roughly 3 to 6pm, the gym is unusable due to this.

Yes, an older building, a little cramped in the locker room and other areas. But easy access, plenty of parking, friendly staff, and the workout area (the only one I actually used) was great. Medium-sized, plenty of machines open on a weekday morning. Looks bigger with the walls of windows, and mirrors on the interior walls. Everything clean and in good shape. It even has its own wetland/natural area outside, with picnic tables. Hopefully they will rebuild here, because it's a great location.

Watching the kids meet up there after school to play in the gym until their parents got off work was a nice trip to the past. I joined to take advantage of the gym and the swimming pool, as I was recovering from total knee replacement so this was the perfect situation for me. They don't have a great variety of gym equipment, but there's enough there to suit your needs. They have a great staff that is attentive and willing to work with you, no matter what the situation. I wish they had longer hours, but that's ok. They're open long enough for the great majority.

The overall atmosphere makes working out feel motivating instead of intimidating. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and really focused on proper form. The workouts are challenging but approachable, and you always leave feeling stronger and energized. Even though the classes are group-based, the instructors make it easy to modify movements if needed, which makes the classes accessible for different fitness levels. I also love how intentional the workouts feel, they're effective without feeling overwhelming. It's truly a studio that makes you look forward to your workouts. The only thing I would change is the cancellation period - 12 hours is a long time for things to come up. I recommend Melt any chance I get and would absolutely encourage anyone looking for a supportive and effective workout to check it out.
