I just started going to the 6:30am class with Holly and have really been enjoying my workouts! She brings great energy for the morning and challenges me to increase my weights and movements. If I’m not comfortable with something she is open to talking through scaling options, as a postpartum mom this is important to me.

Joining CrossFit after a total hip replacement felt intimidating, but Andrew has made every single experience at the gym a positive one. He always offers thoughtful, safe, and effective scaled options that still challenge me and keep me progressing. I feel completely supported and confident knowing he has my back every step of the way. On top of that, his energy and encouragement are unmatched — his cheerleading skills are absolutely on point! Andrew is an incredible coach, and I’m so grateful for the care, strength, and confidence he brings to every class. Highly recommend!

Had Dan as my coach for my first CF class ever at CrossFit Somos. He struck the perfect mix of encouragement, correction, and energy throughout the session. Dan took the time to explain each movement clearly, demonstrating proper form and gently correcting mine when needed, which made me feel confident rather than overwhelmed. His positive energy kept the pace lively and motivating, pushing me just enough without making it intimidating. Thanks for making it a great first experience - I left feeling accomplished and excited to come back. You’ll be seeing me again.

Review for Holly Parker

Today was my first day back at CrossFit Somos after a long break and it was awesome. I got to meet some new people who were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel inviting right from the start. The workout itself was well balanced - challenging enough to push me but also carefully paced so I didn’t feel overwhelmed. Coach Laura was especially supportive throughout the session. I struggle with feeling very sore after workouts, which could be because of my age or my job, but Laura always makes sure I’m comfortable by personalizing the intensity and moderating exercises when needed. What I really appreciate is how she checks in with me before the workout starts, taking the time to clarify each movement and setting clear goals for the session. That thoughtful approach helped me feel confident and motivated, knowing she was paying attention to how I was doing every step of the way.

Holly is always so supportive and knowledgeable as a coach. What I absolutely loved about today’s class is at the end of the class we had a few minutes left, and she used that time to go through some amazing stretches. She did not have to, but she chose too!!!! That is Holly and some of the magic and experience she brings to her class. Right up to the last minute she continues to support and look after her class’s well being. As I continue to push and struggle in my own CrossFit journey I am very grateful to have Holly in my corner😊

He asked about my athletic journey, any restrictions I may have, and made me feel like I was in good hands. Daniel introduced me to another member that I could pair up with who was super friendly and welcoming. During the workout, there were check-ins to see how I was doing, and post workout follow up. Daniel was very professional and friendly, even though it was my first class at Somos, I felt really comfortable 😊. Highly recommend!
