CrossFit was a huge part of my life when I lived in Chico--it gave me lifelong friendships, daily…read moremotivation, and the kind of fitness base that helped me achieve things I'd only dreamed of: three 100-mile ultramarathons, climbing Mt. Shasta four times, completing the 100-mile Wildflower Bike Ride with no specialized training, and hitting some major lifts (400+ lb squat, 500+ lb deadlift, 245 lb clean and jerk, 205 lb snatch). When I moved to Red Bluff four years ago, the thing I missed most was a truly great CrossFit gym. That gap is now filled with Buddy-Up CrossFit! Eric and his team are off to an amazing start. The facility is beautiful with brand-new equipment and strong AC (a lifesaver in the summer). The programming is smart and scalable--whether you're brand new to fitness or chasing big goals, you'll find a path forward. Best of all, the community is already supportive, welcoming, and fun. If you've been thinking about starting CrossFit, or you've been missing a gym that pushes you while keeping it enjoyable, Buddy-Up CrossFit is the place to be. I'm excited to keep training here and watch both the gym and its members grow stronger together.

So proud of his hard work, dedication to working out with coach Mo, and even more thankful for coach Mo and his willingness to go above and beyond for his athletes, non athletes, and just for people in general! My son now brags to us that he can now finish the monkey bars and do a pull up. He says it's because "I work or at Gary's!" This makes my heart happy! Thank you CEA for helping with Brody's confidence!

I have been a loyal member here for 5 years. There has been a glitch in their system where they…read morehave not been charging their members cards the annual fee. They have just discovered this and are now going back all these years and charging everyone for the back annual fees although it was an error on their end. Members are very upset this is happening. For the last couple of years half of the cardio machines are broken along with the cable machines. I hope they will use everyone's back annual fees to purchase new equipment. I am truly saddened by this and I am sure they will be losing many memberships due to this.

The last two ladies I spoke with (Courtney) when cancelling and (Aubrey) who called today are get it done type of ladies. They offered to comp me for some time, (which I politely declined) but I won't be leaving this gym at all. I asked her to toss my cancellation to the side and thanked her for giving me a call, I love the atmosphere here and with some proper cleaning it's going to be even better. Thank you guys for being down to earth, owning the mistake (we are all humans) and implementing new cleaning protocol so that members can feel good about coming here and using the amenities offered. TFFC is your local family gym, the call back shows they care and they will address their members concerns. Thank you guys!

Sometimes Big 5 charges a lot of money for items you can get cheaper elsewhere. This is why I look at the sales, because often you can find some neat items on the cheap. Service here is fair. Sometimes you need to make some effort to get employees to notice you. Other times they are on it and are ready to assist in any way they can. Considering it's in a small town, this is a decent store for its selection.

The employees were as helpful as they could be, given what I was asking for.
