Great class as always! Coach Nick gave really helpful instruction on pacing the row during the warmup so I knew exactly where I wanted to be during the WOD.

Great! Great instruction. I appreciate the context talk at the end about how it will build. Very pleased with the pace and the goals. Feel free to directly correct my form. Sometimes I’m distracted and don’t hear the instructions.

Coach John is always super helpful with the most positive attitude. He is attentive and will help you get moving in the correct way. I came back after giving birth with no direction on how to get fit again and he was there every step of the way guiding me back stronger and better than ever. 20/5 stars for Coach John

Great gym! Everyone is friendly and the space is clean. Refreshing to find a place that is kid friendly. My only request would be daily programming that has a warm up, lift of the day and then a Metcon/WOD to end since I can only get there 3x a week.

After a long week, and no gym sessions, today was about getting myself back together and just moving… it was the perfect workout for that, and Kristin supported all scales, which meant I could keep moving, despite the burpees! 😊

Nick is pretty no nonsense, explains movements and WOD and then explains it again for those of us who need to hear things more than once or need help with not over thinking the skill. Lol. Overall, minimal interaction today specifically, but usually pleasant and has some good feedback.

Rowers-boxes-people everywhere, but you look up and Nick gives you the little nod of the head. You know you’re doing it right and it feels like he has been checking in the entire workout. Nick does an excellent job of finding little wins that help you go from Level 1 to Level 2 to RX.

Kristin continues to explain and focus on each movement and making sure the class members understand - whether or not the member has been here for 2 days or 2 years. One of my favorite things about this coaching crew - they build you up to doing the full movement, and if you have to modify, they help you make the stimulus planned for the class!

Today's WOD was a more traditional CrossFit workout, which I wish we did somewhat more often. Nick gave us one thing to work on per movement, which is a good coaching tactic. I heard him give tips to people throughout the warm up and the WOD, so he was actively coaching the whole time. One thing I wish the CrossFit Ares coaches would focus on is how movements feel, not just how they look - I suspect many people would reach the next level of improvement more quickly with a sense of how movements feel in their bodies: where muscles are tightening when, what it feels like to drive power from the middle of the foot instead of the ball of the foot, being aware of body position, etc. Overall I find that CFA is very strong with its coaching, this is just something to consider for purposes of continual improvement.

It was very nostalgic to come in today for open gym today. It’s great to still receive the emails & see the posts on how the gym, coaches and community have been growing in the past 3 years. But I will never forgot who that person was 3 years ago that took there time to get me started on this unbelievable journey. Thank you Coach John!!

Kristin is the freaking best. I was in a slump yesterday and it was a big deal to have down up. Kristin gave me space to work through the workout but was always present nearby if I had any questions. She stepped in with reminders about technique when it was justified to keep me safe but otherwise just let me grind, and I really appreciated that. My schedule has sucked lately and it's been really hard to get to the gym but Kristin brings such positivity to class and just generally leads an awesome session. Specifically, Kristin is able to describe how to approach most movements in a ton of different ways with different verbal cues which I find really helpful.

I ended up loving this class… I will admit I came in looking for more of a cardio day, but I loved the push to not break the reps and I was psyched that I was able to do the extra weight Nick believed I could do. The post workout was fun too.

Today was one of my favorite movements, the deadlift! As much as I love the movement, I love John’s coaching and cues when working on foundational movements even more (even the basic “stand all the way up…” ). Today was another day he helped all of us get 1% better.

Learning how to perform various exercises is serious to ensure you activate targeted muscle groups, but John makes it fun. No matter the movement John is on par striving for perfection and safety. Although he wants to see you do it right he is always.there to help modify your specific movement for your level. Love this place.

I don’t always want to go to the gym, but at CFA, I know that once I am there, I am so glad I went. Of course, there is value in challenging yourself physically, and I’ve gotten stronger and can do things now I couldn’t do two years ago. But it’s the community that truly makes this place special and keeps me coming back. The people at CFA actually care about me as a human being, complete with struggles and triumphs, and not as a client who exists to generate profit. I feel seen and appreciated and embraced on my worst days and on my best days. Hands down the best gym experience I’ve ever had, and I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to try it.

First class I had with Kyle as the coach. Kyle was awesome. First thing he did when I arrived this morning, he introduced himself. He then listened to all my excuses as to why this crossfit stuff is hard for me to do, he smiled and told me no need to worry, and I believed him! He was very clear with his instructions on what the workout would be. For me he was the perfect amount of checking on me to make sure my technique is correct, cheerleading and pushing to reach my full potential. Great coach! Great workout ! Great gym!
