Gene is second to none!
I dropped in today and was really impressed by the facility! Lynette is a great coach she made the class fun and was very attentive!
Gene is an amazing coach! Every time we come to Foundry CrossFit in Palm Desert, we know we’re in good hands. The coaches don’t just lead the workouts - they take the time to ask exactly how our bodies are feeling that day, and they modify movements and weights for us accordingly. During each session, the movements are broken down step-by-step and demonstrated very thoroughly, which makes even the toughest exercises feel approachable and safe. What really stands out is how friendly and welcoming both the members and the coaches are; it creates a supportive atmosphere that makes coming here something we look forward to. Highly recommend Foundry CrossFit!
Box was great and super friendly/welcoming experience. Only drawback is that I would have liked to have known in advance that it would be an all-running WOD. I generally don’t drop in at other boxes just to run…
What’s one way this gym has changed your fitness journey? Foundry CrossFit has helped me build consistency and confidence in my workouts. The supportive community and knowledgeable coaches keep me motivated and accountable. I’ve also learned proper form and technique, which has reduced my risk of injury and improved my overall performance.
Knight is engaged and helpful!
Coaching was great! Lots of help making sure the lifts were solid. Great space with all the CrossFit fixins
Super helpful and corrected me! I learned some great tips I never heard before to deadlift correctly.
Level 1 cert and former box owner. I’ve been to over 50 boxes worldwide. I’m not an elite athlete but know good coaching when I see it. I observed Travis in the class before mine and experienced his coaching firsthand afterwards. Great pre-wod direction with relevant precautionary notes and appropriate level of cues without intervening unnecessarily. Was attentive to all during the larger class beforehand as well. Good enthusiasm and positivity!
Foundry team was very welcoming and attentive! Had a great time!
Always tuned in to what everyone is doing…I like that. Keep it up.
I love this place and everyone that goes!! It’s an amazing community. If you’re looking for accountability and muscle gain, join this gym 😊
Coach Travis is amazing… even though his workouts literally try to kill us 😭💀 He’s always hyping us up, cheering us on, and somehow smiling while we’re struggling. He pushes us hard but never lets us quit, and always makes us feel proud after. 10/10 would suffer again 💪🔥
Knight brings clear instruction, attentive coaching, and great energy to an early morning class. Everyone at this gym is genuinely welcoming and encouraging from the moment you walk in. I’ve had the opportunity to take classes with all of the coaches and each one is knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain and demonstrate proper technique, which has helped me feel more confident in movements I never thought I’d be doing. I always feel supported and encouraged, no matter my pace. It’s a great environment to learn, grow, and challenge yourself. -Leslie Aguirre
Coach Gene is the consummate CrossFit coach. He’s meticulous on form/technique/safety and gives great scaling options. All the other coaches under his tutelage are great in their own rights. The Foundry community is very supportive and not overly competitive. There are new members joining all the time and a lot of drop ins as well which is a testament to Coach Gene’s program at Foundry.
All the coaches have had so much patience with me. I have never worked out in my life and I’ve made some major improvements thanks to their coaching. This is an amazing gym. If you’re thinking of going, just do it! You won’t regret it.
Great class and great atmosphere!
Foundry is a Top Box! This location, in my opinion, is a “High End” Crossfit gym. Huge space, plethora of great equipment and amply amounts of Rig to use! Nat brought great coaching, plenty of scaling options and an authentic enthusiasm to the class! If you are visiting, or looking for a Crossfit gym locally, this is your Box!
Great class, good feedback! Very friendly community
Dropped in day after Christmas and got to do the 12 bars of Christmas workout
Great gym, fun workout and coach Ashley was awesome!
Great Class! Ashley was friendly, informative and supportive. She gave really good movement coaching with drills and progressions. Awesome CrossFit gym with OG feel!
Lynette is one of my favorites! She’s always so welcoming, especially when I bring family from out of town or see her with new members/visitors. During every session at Foundry CrossFit, she watches closely, noticing even small details in my form, and gives constructive feedback that helps me take real steps toward mastering movements. Because of her clear explanations and patient coaching style, I’ve improved so many skills substantially - there’s something about the way she breaks things down that just clicks for me every time.
Since joining Foundry CrossFit, I have been able to push myself comfortably beyond limits I thought I had. My favorite thing is how much focus is put on doing the movements safely and correctly without any push to add more weight before you’ve successfully accomplished the movements. Thank you Gene, and all the other coaches for providing such an amazing gym, somewhere I always look forward to coming when I am home.
Lynette is great! Both my wife and I just love her! We are quite old, and Lynette is great at tailoring a work out that is age appropriate for us, and gives us a very good exercise experience. What can I say great coach, great attitude, she is everything we could ask for!
When I’m in Palm Desert for work, this is the CrossFit I love to come to! People are friendly, coaching is solid, and it’s a fantastic facility! There’s always something to learn and get better at! Knight brought great energy to class and gave me some pointers I’d never heard before!
Let me start by saying one of my top priorities is finding a local CrossFit. I got my level I back in 2010 and I’ve worked out in plenty of boxes. So let me cut to the chase. Gene is absolutely one of the best. The facility is perfect for CrossFit and the coaching is primo. I don’t know what else to tell you. If you do CrossFit or you’re looking to try it this is the place. I’ll see you there.
Lynette did a great job showing me proper technique to improve my chest-to-bar. She patiently walked me through the movement, breaking down each part of the pull-up and correcting my form where I was losing efficiency. I left the session feeling more confident about my progress and motivated to keep pushing. Foundry CrossFit really stands out because of coaches like Lynette who take the time to focus on the details that make a difference. Thanks, Lynette!
I love going to foundry. All the coaches have been amazing. Helpful and supportive. The fellow members are also so supportive.
Coach Knight is an excellent CrossFit instructor, very knowledgeable and attentive. He takes the time to coach each movement and makes sure everyone’s form is solid. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping athletes improve. One of the best coaches around!
I came in for open gym, but the gym was clean and well-kept, and the people were friendly and welcoming
Lynette is the best! Keeps us working and provides really clear instruction on technique. She has the gift of being able to correct not criticize with a smile. As an older athlete, I feel completely safe yet challenged in her classes and I enjoy her humor and attention. Susan
Great large class, well-led with clear instruction and feedback. Everyone was very friendly to me as a drop-in for the day!
I’ve dropped into this gym multiple times, and now I’m officially a member. Gene and all other coaches are knowledgeable and detail-oriented — they really focus on your movement during workouts and give helpful cues to keep you on track. I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. The gym is spacious, and the classes are well organized. Highly recommended!
Coach was very helpful throughout the entire session, taking the time to clearly teach me each routine step-by-step. They demonstrated proper form and technique, making sure I understood the movements before we started the workout. The class itself was challenging, pushing me to work harder with a mix of strength and cardio exercises that kept my heart rate up. I appreciated how the coach noticed when I struggled and offered modifications to keep me moving without sacrificing intensity. By the end, I felt accomplished and energized, knowing I had really pushed myself in a supportive environment. Foundry CrossFit stands out because the coaching is attentive and the classes are designed to challenge you while still being approachable.
Travis provided me with great feedback on the issues I'm having with my front squats. I instantly felt and understood what he was telling me to do vs what I was doing and where I was failing. Great class👌
Great adjustments to my form.
Excellent coach Friendly and spent a lot of time with me
Joining Foundry has given me such a great community with coaches and members pushing me to strive for my best! The coaches always take the time in class to give constructive criticism to correct technique and build safe habits.
Knight is an outstanding coach. He seems to have unending energy and patience, and his knowledge and attention to detail make every workout both challenging and empowering. Knight not only demonstrates every movement with ease and mastery, but also knows how to push your limits while keeping proper form and safety a top priority. I’ve seen huge improvements in my strength, endurance, and confidence since training with him. I highly recommend Coach Knight for anyone looking to level up their fitness! 💪
Been doing this for a while and have gone to gyms all across the country. This is t
Very patient and caring! Always nice to get advice from all the coaches!!
I did a drop-in class. I had the best time. Coach Tim was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The group was supportive and made my experience very enjoyable. I highly recommend this CF. Note, I pre-registered, and the process was simple. After paying, I was immediately taken to reserve a time. When I arrived, two people greeted me and helped me check in and ensured I knew who the coach was. I appreciate the ease of visiting this CF.
I was there at 8 o’clock. I forgot her name, but she was learning. She did great. This was a beautiful gym love the workout. I had a great experience there!
Great coaching from Lynette today, as always!
Our coach, Gene Williams, is exceptional! His dedication to every member’s progress is unmatched, with an eagle eye for perfecting form that takes your skills to new heights regardless of where you are in your fitness journey. Personally, it’s refining my double-unders or nailing chest-to-bar pull-ups, his precise cues make all the difference. Nine years of CrossFit and I'm still happily learning. The gym feels like a true family thanks to Coach Williams, fostering a supportive vibe that keeps us ALL motivated. If you want to elevate your CrossFit game, this is the place to be!
Natalie is an excellent upbeat coach who simplifies movements so I can understand them better. Her class is always a tough, positive, and fun part of my day. I love Foundry it has really motivated me and changed my lifestyle. Highly recommend.
Just today after class I was thinking about what a great coach Lynette is! She is patient and yet still expects us to give our best. And she is very good at explaining the technique and watches carefully to correct us.
He did well. I felt confident I knew what to do based on his instructions.
Travis is a top notch coach, been doing it for years and is always getting better. Lucky to have him coaching.
It was an excellent experience. The warmup help me prepare for the workout and allowed me to develop my skills and eventually progress to a full arc workout that include bar muscle-ups.

As always , great coaching, attention to details. Always look forward on joining a session and clearing up the daily stress.
Great as usual :)
4 years ago I came in knowing absolutely nothing about CrossFit. Foundry has completely changed the way I see fitness. I love all of the coaches and I’ve never felt this strong and healthy!
Gene and the coaches at Foundry CrossFit are amazing and knowledgeable changed my life
Foundry is an amazing gym. The coaches go above and beyond to assist in technique and challenge you when needed! The community is unmatched , 10 outta 10
Awesome gym with wonderful people from the creators to the attendees. It's a butt busting experience!
Fantastic coaching
The class was very organized and every movement was explained in great detail, with scaling options 🙌🏼
Lynette ran a great class, reviewing technique for the row and KB swing before the workout began. The gym was super clean, too.
