From my experience CFB has sustained 8+ years of a successful run delivering quality coaching and community for truly every member (and visitors) with workouts. My coach today (Jim Z.) consistently delivers a genuine and supportive advice that can be said for each coach at CFB. Thank you Coach Jim and the rest of the CFB coaches! Keep up the great work! 👍

Today was my first day in class. Jim introduced himself, went over first some of the exercises and helped get equipment.

After a 15+ year break from working out and coming back to crossfit, I was appreciative that John was supportive and encouraged me to push hard, but to pace myself and to have some permission to reduce reps so I can come back strong the next day...making this more of a healthy return to a routine that needs to be present. Make no mistake, John was not giving a free pass to take it easy for ever, but he was helping me to focus on form and accomplishing the daily objective, and helping me to realize that the objective doesn't need to be met with the same prescriptive quantities right now where I'm at in my fitness journey.

So as always with crossfit, I almost died!! But it was a decently pleasant death. Worked on all of the things I could use cross training with. Sandra did great as a coach. I had a long break away from CF but she quickly and simply corrected a few of my movements and I was on my way. Great motivation and great coaching.

Form is never compromised in any class, especially with “eagle eye Coach John” leading our workout.
