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.

Kristin was born to coach! I'm especially thankful for the time she takes with my teenage daughter who's new to CrossFit as well. Her cues and explanations are both helpful and encouraging. And the extra time she takes to equip people with stretching helps promote recovery along this fitness journey. Thankful for her!

BEST Coach ever! Takes the time to acknowledge everyone. Its like having a one on one, even though the class has 9 or 10 people! Coach John definitely keeps things moving and interesting.

Hi Kyle, The workout was awesome even though I am completely destroyed by the echo bike. I really hope my basic level of fitness gets better soon 😁. I’ll take any help I can get regarding the movements, technical explanations etc. To the entire CrossFit Ares team I’d say keep up with that because it is very helpful. With that I’d like to thank you for correcting my position in the alternating gorilla rows today! I’ll be back next week for more. 😅

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.

Another fun and challenging class at CFA today! The coaches always keep focus on individual improvement, whether that be technique, concentration, consistency or strength. Not every day is meant to be a PR weight day, and today Kristin helped me take another step toward a smarter & cleaner deadlift. Even small steps add up to big gains, and I’m always grateful for the patience & guidance provided by the CFA coaching team!

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!
