Ironclad CrossFit

Joel is the shit. Seriously, I think he’s a very talented coach…and I have had a lot of CrossFit coaches. What sets him apart is his great attitude - he’s always positive and fired up, which makes even the toughest workouts feel doable. He really knows how to motivate you, calling out encouragement just when you need it and pushing you to keep going without ever making it feel forced. Joel pays close attention during every session, correcting form when it slips and suggesting small adjustments that make a big difference in how the exercises feel. Working out with him at Ironclad CrossFit never feels like just ticking boxes; it feels like real progress, and that’s exactly why I keep coming back.

Hunter is a nice and good guy. The nicest and goodest. Very nice, very good. Great. Great and good. Grood.

Love Joel, all of the coaches, and the Ironclad community. In a perfect world, I’d like to see some changes to the programming. I’d prefer a suggested warm up and then time for the class to do whatever they like to spend less time reviewing the basics and more time incorporating strength

I think you did great bud.

Ben did an outstanding job with coaching tonight. He is very motivating, great with demonstration, and consistently provides individual attention to all his students. Kudos to Ben!

Hunter was amazing during my first class! So supportive!

ChatGPT said: Thanks for being such an awesome coach. You keep workouts challenging but still fun, and I really appreciate how you focus on form and push everyone at their own pace. It makes a huge difference showing up to a class that feels so positive and motivating.

Ethan picked up quickly that I had never done overhead squats before and rightfully suggested I scale back the weight and work on my form. I’m very glad he was there to guide me!

Eddie is the best! He encourages you to put out your best effort with positive reinforcement!

Joel is always ready with plenty of scaling options so that every workout is achievable for everyone. He's always watching and gives suggestions or corrections where needed.

Excellent. Always big with the motivation and encouragement. Explains the skill work and broke down the WOD.

Joel is always a great coach. He zones in on small but manageable corrections that make a big impact on form.

Joel consistently gives feedback to help me grow in my practice.

Todays class was great! Ben is always full of encouragement & tips to improve our fitness and movements. It was a great way to start a Saturday morning!

I’m always learning something new on how to improve. Hunter had great suggestions on working out with the current limitations of my knee.

Hunter is always well prepared and super positive. I have learned a tremendous amount from his coaching and guidance over the last few years. He sets the standard that we all strive to achieve.

Hunter was awesome for my first time!! Very welcoming, great experience. I definitely will be back.

Joel is my favorite

Joel was fantastic. He watched me but was not in my face. Just the name “CrossFit” is intimidating but the class was fun and welcoming. Joel was “Johnny on the spot” with support and advice. So I was never left behind. The ladies legends were also warm and encouraging. I’m sold!

He was very accommodating and took the time to check in on me and make adjustments as needed. I didn’t feel intimidated or pressured. Rather, I felt a part of the group while also being able to focus on my own workout.

Great energy and encouragement!

It was a great first class! I appreciated the positive feedback during the workout and that I could modify some of the activities based on my current ability. Looking forward to next class!

Hunter was very supportive and provided frequent guidance. I felt like he was watching out for me and helping make sure I was maintaining good form.

Angel was incredibly welcoming, enthusiastic, approachable, and energetic! Her class instructions were very clear and repetitive for us older folks lol. Her music selection was motivating and she supplied many modifications for each exercise. I thoroughly enjoyed my first class at ironclad and look forward to many more!!

So warm and welcoming. Gave me great pointers and plenty of encouragement. The workout was challenging but able to scale it to my level of fitness.

I’m always at ease when Danielle is coaching. I feel more at ease, knowing she will find the workout that pushes me but that acknowledges my physical limitations.

Engaged and always giving pointers for improvement!

Awesome class! Ethan alwaysssss brings the energy and positivity. He breaks the movements down perfectly and keeps a great pace. Very efficient.

Joel is great! He’s always willing to help me scale but push me at the same time!

This workout was tough with a lot of instruction. Joel did an amazing job as always walking through step by step to make sure we understand and perform the movements correctly. Also great with words of encouragement throughout the workout!

Warm up looked a little overwhelming at first on the screen, but you moved us through all the movements in a very organized fashion. Great verbal cues on timing of thruster. You did an awesome job working with a new member, and the look on her face when she put it all together was priceless. Good playlist, even if it wasn’t classic rock 😜

Very supportive and knowledgeable! Hunter helped me a lot with my form

Angel was welcoming, patient and very attentive to my needs as a new student. She kept a watchful eye on everyone to insure safety which I really appreciated. Instructions and demonstrations were clear and included options for modifications. I had a great time, worked hard and I can’t wait to go back.

Ben is humble, down to earth, and really cares about us. Our safety is his #1 concern, and he is very vigilant to ensure that zero injuries occur in his classes. He’s a good person in and out of the gym, and it’s always a good day when he is the coach. No matter what you’re going through, he makes sure that the hour that you’re in the gym is the best hour of your day.

I had a great experience for my first class! Hunter did a great job explaining all of the workouts and providing feedback on my form. He and the rest of the class were very welcoming and encouraging and I’m looking forward to taking more classes.

Joel did a great job! Everyone was extremely welcoming.

Joel is 5 star. Great at teaching correct form and technique for all movements. Reviews scaling options and is comfortable coaching advanced to beginner athletes. He is not only a great coach he is a great person also!

First, let me say that Angel is such a great coach for many reasons. The attention to detail on all the workouts she prepares for us is on point. She explains clearly what we are to do and shows us proper technique. Secondly, she is very encouraging on helping us reach our potential and all the while she’s friendly and engaging. I’m so happy to be in her class!

Great!

Ben gave us a great workout. Was very receptive to my shoulder issue. Personable and enthusiastic!

Hunter did a great job making sure my form was good. He complimented me after class to tell me that my form looked great! He kept the class moving & making sure that appropriate scales were made for everyone. Great job, Hunter!

As always she did GREAT! Live her careful eye making sure we’re all ok and on the same page. Her enthusiasm is contagious. It makes me want to do better

I think i swallowed a bug during the workout, but other than that, workout was great!

Fantastic Best part of my day was with only having one hand to work with she made it work for me and I really appreciate your great work Did want to miss the class I look forward to going to. Thank you and have a great day Best decision I have made in a long time was to come to your class after having 3 major surgeries in the last 2 years plus Vicky talking me into it

As always, everything was explained well and exercises were modified for me as needed. Part of the program was moved inside due to weather. The class was well run.

Hunter was great, gave some great alternative for KB snatches since I was dealing with some elbow pain on one side.

Joel was very attentive in today's workout and kept a close eye on my posture and form. Thank you Joel!

Joel always brings his A game to coaching. Today Joel helped me to scale the workout so I could work around a shoulder injury. He offered suggestions and options to mimic the same muscle workout the rest of the class was doing. Joel is encouraging and always pushes me to do as much as I can. I always enjoy his classes!

Joel always explains everything in detail, provides visual examples and makes on the spot corrections as needed. Always positive and makes class fun.

Your coaching is great. It is always well thought out and precise. Directions are clear and moves demonstrated. Love how you keep your eyes on everyone to make sure they are doing exercises correctly.

Joel made me feel right at home on my first visit to Ironclad. He gave me great pointers and good encouragement. The gym has a great vibe and was very welcoming.

Ben led a great class today. His guidance and coaching was much appreciated and his encouragement was so nice. Great class!

Angel had us all pumped up today for class! Never a dull moment! This was wig day too, we all laughed and gave high fives! I definitely was worn out after our fast paced workout! Can't wait till our next class!!

Tough as S**t! But loved it and all the participants. Great community atmosphere. I will be tortured again.

The hospitality at this gym is second to none. I was instantly greeted by the owner and introduced to several coaches the moment I arrived. I was also very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. During the workout, the coach kept an upbeat and friendly vibe and made corrections throughout. Where this gym exceeds expectations is Coach Eddie’s ability to remember details about me and showing actual interest. Playing Bruce in the workout was a HIGHLIGHT. I can’t wait to go back. A true five star gym experience.

Joel was super welcoming and helpful during my trial session! Looking forward to more sessions soon!

Great!!! Very encouraging, very patient. I don’t feel under pressure, nor overwhelmed!! I love the group of ladies in the class. I know that Angel will be there to help me with my goals.

Joel was informative and kept us motivated for the entirety of the workout. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared helpful tips to improve my kipping pull-ups.

Angel is an exceptional coach. When you’re in her class you can tell that she’s prepared ahead of time for each part of the class. She has all of the scaling options ready, knows how the equipment should be set up for the best flow, and has the timing for each part of the lesson written out. Angel does an excellent job of clearly explaining what is expected of the athletes in attendance. Whether it’s coaching us through a lift or pull-ups, Angel is knowledgeable and clear in her instruction. Angel’s demeanor during class is fun and encouraging. You don’t get through an Angel class without dancing or laughing with her. Angel also knows when I’m not pushing myself and staying within my comfort zone. I appreciate that she knows when I can go heavier and doesn’t let me short change myself. The CrossFit Fairy often visits when Angel is coaching. 😊 Keep up the good work, Angel!!

Joel is a great coach and brings positive energy to every class. He always assists with modifications and makes me feel supported and comfortable to ensure I am always working out safely and to my appropriate level.

Coach Hunter is an amazing coach! Very knowledgeable in every aspect of CrossFit. He takes his time to explain every movement and will answer any questions you may have. He pushes you through every workout and motivates you to do your best!

Ethan did a great job coaching the class. He always makes sure you are doing everything the right way. Love him as a coach. I would recommend attending his class

Was extremely helpful and motivating! Really helped work on technique and still push you to do better!

Great couching, pushed me to do a PR!!!

It was a really well run class. I’ve seen coaches struggle to fill a class on a heavy day. Today was great. People were all warm before we got started and quite a few people shouted PR at the end. Ethan did a great job.

Hunter was extremely kind, and made sure to welcome me as soon as I stepped into the door. He had clear communication on what the expectations were for the workout. The only reason for the 4 (vs 5) star review is while guidance was given on proper rowing and plank form, I did not notice many technique corrections or suggestions were given before the workout, during warm up or the mini pre-workout. Overall I'd be happy to take a class with Hunter again!

My son and I had an awesome experience dropping-in today. We were welcomed warmly and treated as if we were members of the Ironclad Community. Joel is awesome coach. His overall flow was incredibly smooth, and kept the class engaged. The warmup was perfect and he was incredibly detailed in his breakdown and coaching of the movements of the day. He also made it a point to provide coaching cues/tips to everyone in the class. He thoughtfully explained the workout leading with the intended stimulus - which I love - and that allowed everyone to choose their own adventure to make it happen. He covered the entire class/coached every athlete during the workout - thoughtful providing coaching cues and encouragement. Awesome all around, 10/10!!!

Danielle was wonderful

Joel was excellent!! He explained and demonstrated the movements very professionally, he observed and coached while we were preparing for the wod, he not only respected our physical limitations, but also suggested and demonstrated options to modify the wod to our capabilities!! We had a super fun class!! We will be back when we visit Easton!!

Thank you for always keeping g

A She’s always great. Very attentive to everyone’s needs.

Fun, energetic, informative, diligent

The 4:15 group is tough, Angel kept them in control. It was a good workout. Angel should work on her 'cues' during the warmup. Like 'start position', ready', 'go'.

He did great, made me feel very welcome and gave lots of tips on good technique which I appreciate!

Angel is always very positive and encouraging and gets us to smile a lot! She keeps all the details humming such as location of all workout items , making sure we have them . She is wonderful and always happy to clarify moves for us newbies!

Very helpful with today’s workout! And approachable

Ben was great! Very enthusiastic and welcoming. He went over the the workout modifications 1st thing. He and the ambassadors (sorry I forgot their names) were very encouraging and keep checking in on me throughout from being to end. It was a great 1st class!

Everything was wonderful and fun. Thank you.

Eddie is phenomenal! He attends to every member in the class and helps us achieve our PRs. So grateful for him :)

Phenomenal!! Ironclad made my first ever CrossFit experience wonderful! The entire staff was very welcoming, professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging, everything you’d want in a coaching staff! You couldn’t ask for a more welcoming atmosphere at a CrossFit gym! Being my first experience at a box, all the coaches were very in tune with me, asking about injuries, fitness level, and experience. They were very respectful towards my lack of real-live CrossFit experience, but very encouraging throughout the entire workout! If I could give Angel and her entire staff a 10/10, I would!

Joel does an amazing job as a coach. The class flows seamlessly, he stays focused on the workout, making suggestions for scaled versions with ease, and is such a positive and encouraging coach!

Visiting Easton on vacation …. Great workout and great people! Will definitely come back again!

Coach Hunter did very good as always, very helpful with every correction I have to make to perform each movement the right way. I like the energy and motivation during the whole class making it easier to go through a hard work out like the one today.

After many trials at other "gyms" I was encouraged to find the true encouragement from every one. Looking forward to a stronger and healthy life style.

Coach Danielle is extremely knowledgeable. She makes sure you preform the movements with good form. She offers a variety of scaled options and makes sure everyone is comfortable with the workout. 10🌟

Obnoxiously motivational

Top 5 reasons why Hunter is my favorite coach! 1). Zero hype - motivation comes from within. If you need to get motivation to do something from your coach you aren’t learning the most important skill - self discipline! 2). Quiet demeanor- Hunters “soft touch” makes a huge difference. He never raises his voice, he’s always under control. 3) Always encouraging. I have never seen Hunter display the slightest amount of negativity towards anyone, even when they deserved it. 4) Always welcoming- Hunter always says hello and goodbye and calls everyone by name. This speaks volumes about his commitment to his group! 5). Great sense of humor and never fake. It’s easy to spot a fake smile or fake enthusiasm. I think Hunter is genuinely interested is helping others. A very rare trait in today’s world!

Eddie is wonderful. He is so motivating, even through the toughest workout. He pays attention to detail, fixing little things in your form. He also adds a touch of humor!

Joel exemplifies what it means to be a coach in the sport of CrossFit. He always takes time to make sure everyone feels comfortable with each movement, compliments, and corrects when needed and always has a cheerful disposition.

Ben was amazing per usual. It’s always good to see him in the gym. To be quite honest sometimes seeing his name as the coach is the motivation I needed to attend a class that day. Just like all the other coaches I have taken a class with, Ben explains everything well along with demonstrates the way things should be done. Today he did some box step ups along side me while I felt like I was dying. It’s the little things that make a big difference. 10/10 would highly recommend Ben to a friend.

Ben did Great! Very friendly and engaging with the class

The class was great today . I always enjoy Daniel s classes , the subject matter can be repetitive sometimes but more importantly Daniel makes the topic at hand entertaining! Also on a more serious note if you are doing a particular movement with poor form it will be caught with Daniels eye . She is a good coach teaching good form and catches you when your body begins to tire with correction and energetic coaching support. Thank you for your good work and dedication!

Excellent communication. Really breaks down each progression during the demonstration so it is seamless when preforming the workout. Joel great about paying attention, making sure I execute the motions correctly ( even if he has to re-explain it 5 more times). I am grateful for the attentiveness and patience.

This was a large class with a lot of moving parts and Angel kept things running smoothly.

Angel was awesome today! We had a large class with it being bring a friend week, which she handled well using her very comforting but commanding leadership style. She took the time to either leverage another coach or herself to ensure all participants were getting enough oversight and encouragement that was required. For me personally, I really appreciated the attention to detail in explaining and then observing and correcting the athletes during the layering discussions. I personally learned the importance of the “active shoulder” during the deadlift which I think allowed me to lift heavy more confidently and with less injury risk. Only CON for today is that we didn’t have a Dad joke.

Angel was amazing! I really enjoyed my first class. I felt very comfortable, not to rushed. Very welcoming. I enjoyed how we spent time making sure my form was correct instead of just pushing with more weight. Will defiantly be back. Can’t wait

Very good loved the class deadlifts are one of my favorites
