Leander CrossFit

I always love it when Josh is coaching at Leander CrossFit. He brings great energy to every session, which instantly lifts the atmosphere and makes the workout feel more motivating. He’s never shy to point out improvements to my form - instead of just saying “fix this,” he carefully explains what to adjust and why, helping me understand how to move better and safer. At the same time, he’s aware of my limitations and respects them, modifying exercises or suggesting alternative movements so I can still push myself without risking injury. That balance of encouragement and mindfulness makes the whole experience rewarding and keeps me coming back.

Josh was great today! I struggled to feel stable during the overhead squats - the bar felt unstable over my head, and I couldn’t quite find my balance. Josh noticed right away and came over to watch my form closely. He pointed out a small adjustment in my shoulder position and helped me engage my core more effectively. That small correction made all the difference. Suddenly, the movement felt smoother, and I was able to complete the entire workout feeling more in control and confident. It was one of those moments where a little guidance from a good coach turned a frustrating exercise into a successful challenge.

Love to be part of your class. The energy you bring in everyday is amazing and I always look forward for your class. In the recent past my favorite workout time is 4:30 just because of you. Appreciate your support and guidance in every class. Thank you

I was a little late getting to class and it was an oversized class and Wes had everyone organized and working thru warmups. Wes always has his classes organized and takes time to help individuals that are in need.

Josh is enthusiastic and encouraging. I always enjoy classes he coaches. It's a positive start to my day!

Since joining Leander CrossFit, I’ve noticed a real personal change in my overall strength and endurance. The coaches pay close attention to my form during every exercise - from kettlebell swings to box jumps - and they make sure I’m progressing safely while still being challenged. I feel more confident pushing myself in each workout because they adjust movements based on how I’m feeling that day. The energy in the gym is motivating but not overwhelming, which helps me stay consistent. This change matters because I’m not just getting fitter - I’m building habits that stick, and the supportive atmosphere here makes all the difference.

Had an awesome experience today. Mid-workout my back tightened up pretty badly, and coach Jim immediately stepped in to help me loosen it up and modify the workout. Crossfit Leander really goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for members.

Had a great first class with Jim! Brand new to CrossFit and he took the time to make sure my technique was getting better!

Always giving alternatives to meet everyone’s needs!

Jim is amazing! He has great attitude and helps you to push yourself through to do your best!

Mike is able to provide solid guidance on how to navigate the workout so you can have a real chance to finish and get the best stimulus. He doesn’t just send you through the motions; he carefully watches your form and suggests adjustments to help you move more efficiently and avoid burnout. During the session, he breaks down complex movements into manageable steps and offers clear tips on pacing, which makes even the toughest workouts feel achievable. His coaching creates a focused energy in the room that pushes you to give your best without feeling overwhelmed. Because of Mike’s direction at Leander CrossFit, I leave each workout feeling challenged but confident I’ve done something meaningful for my fitness.

Josh is such an amazing coach! He makes jokes and makes sure the class is fun. He’s also so helpful with his tips on how to improve on movements and I get better each day because of him!

Great coaching. Kept that huge class under control. Lol. The rig was a bit of a mess. I lost my initial spot but no biggy

Elizabeth is an awesome coach. She is very thorough and clear with her instructions, making sure every detail is understood before we start each exercise. I loved the way she manages each individual - she takes the time to watch our form closely, offering adjustments and personalized tips that help me improve without feeling overwhelmed. Her attention to everyone’s pace and needs creates an environment where you feel supported but also challenged. The way she breaks down complex movements into simple steps made the workouts feel achievable yet effective. It’s motivating to have a coach at Leander CrossFit who genuinely cares about how you’re doing and is focused on helping you progress safely and confidently.

Rebecca was extraordinary today. She broke the rowing mechanics down so well. She gave me a great coaching cue on the power snatch also. On a day that could have been very difficult for me, she gave just the right touch.

Explained well the workout and levels of modification. Answers questions and keeps us on time.

I recently joined Leander CrossFit and love it. They foster a welcoming environment and facility is well kept and plenty of equipments for everyone. I had Rebecca and Elissa for the 5:15a classes. They both provide clear, actionable cues that help athletes understand correct forms for the movements and intensity levels of the workouts. The coach keeps the class on a tight schedule, ensuring there is ample time for a proper warm-up, the strength piece, and the WOD. They move around the room constantly rather than staying behind the whiteboard, ensuring every athlete receives individual attention. They bring a positive, high-energy attitude that motivates the athletes through out the workout. This morning Rebecca brought me a heavier sandbag and made the wod even more fun, I love that she paid attention to me as a new comer to the gym. I kinda miss that CrossFit energy for quite some time now and I’m so happy to have found a new home here at Leander Crossfit. I can’t wait to wait to meet new friends and grow with this community.

I love a good deadlift workout and today’s hit the spot! Your warm up for the lifting and WOD really helped set me up for a &good day for CrossFit😉

You walk around

Josh worked with me on how to scale my movements properly given what I’ve been through the last couple weeks with being sick. Truly appreciate him always listening and having suggestions on how I can get the most out of my work out.

Very good class! Exhaust due to all the movement, when I got home, everything on my body hurts 😮‍💨 Excellent work out just what I need it 💪🏻

I liked the programming. Good movement and flow. I always like doing barbell movements with Cody, he always gives me good feedback to improve my lifts.

Training with Elisa has been awesome. She’s super encouraging, knows her stuff, and always finds the perfect balance between pushing you and keeping things fun. She explains movements clearly, helps fix your form without making you feel awkward, and brings great energy to every workout. I’ve gotten stronger and more confident since working with her, and I actually look forward to class because she makes it a good time. If you’re thinking about trying CrossFit or just want a coach who genuinely cares, Elisa is the one. Highly recommend!

It was my day 1 at Leander CrossFit, and Mike was very welcoming and motivating from the start. He took the time to watch my form closely and corrected my technique on the behind-the-neck split jerk, guiding me through each movement with clear, practical tips. His encouragement made me feel confident and eager to improve, turning what could have been an intimidating first session into a positive, energizing experience. The gym itself had a great atmosphere - focused but friendly - which helped me feel right at home.

Leave the coffee at home, Coach Elissa brings the energy to everyone in the gym! She starts each session with a warm welcome that immediately lifts the mood and keeps it high throughout the workout. Elissa pays close attention to each person’s form during exercises like squats and kettlebell swings, offering encouragement and helpful adjustments that make a real difference. I left feeling energized and motivated, like I’d pushed my limits but in a way that was totally doable. That kind of energy and care makes Leander CrossFit stand out from other gyms I’ve tried. It’s clear Elissa’s enthusiasm isn’t just for show - it actually helps you perform better and enjoy every minute.

Josh is always amazing! Tuned in, supportive, knowledgeable, meeting everyone where they are and giving them tips and tricks in ways that help them make progress without overwhelming them. And he keeps the energy level high and fun!

The warm-up was thorough, well designed to prepare us for the workout ahead by gradually increasing our heart rate and loosening up key muscle groups. Evan always watches for form and wellness, closely observing anyone who might be struggling and stepping in to offer adjustments or encouragement. He makes sure we maintain proper technique to avoid injury and maximize effectiveness. His attentiveness creates a motivating atmosphere at Leander CrossFit where you feel supported but challenged at the same time. 5 stars!

She gave very clear instructions!!!

Josh is great, best mix of capable and personable there is.

★★★★★ Michelle is an absolute *delight*—if your idea of delight is being screamed at by a human megaphone who thinks “rest” is a four-letter word. Five stars, obviously, because nothing says “personal growth” like sobbing through burpees while she chirps, “Pain is just weakness leaving the body… or maybe you’re dying, who knows!” Her programming is a chaotic fever dream of muscle-ups, wall balls, and whatever sadistic implement she found in the lost-and-found. I came for fitness; I left with a PhD in random nonsense: did you know pineapples are berries, but strawberries aren’t? Or that octopuses have three hearts and zero chill? She drops these “fun facts” mid-WOD like intellectual grenades while you’re inverted on the rings. Thanks to her, I’m now 1% fitter, 99% traumatized, and 100% convinced she runs on pre-workout and spite. Sign up. You’ll hate it. You’ll love it. You’ll never walk normally again.

El Cucuy ★★★★★ ¡Órale, Coach Cucuy is the absolute *rey del box*! I joined his CrossFit class thinking I’d just get swole, but this vato turned me into a burpee-blasting, kettlebell-swinging *máquina*... and somehow a housekeeping ninja too? Every WOD he yells “¡Vámonos, no seas flojo!” while blasting Vicente Fernández louder than my tía’s novela. One day mid-AMRAP he drops this gem: “¿Sabías que vinegar and baking soda clean better than your abuela’s chancla after a party?” Next thing I know, I’m PR’ing my clean-and-jerk AND scrubbing my shower like a *chido* Cinderella. He once made us do wall balls with a twist: miss the target, learn a fact. I ate 47 reps and now know that dryer sheets repel mosquitos better than OFF! and that lemon rinds in the garbage disposal make your kitchen smell like a taquería in heaven. Coach cucuy doesn’t just coach—he *curates chaos*. My glutes are crying, my lungs are doing the Macarena, and my house has never been cleaner. If CrossFit had a Michelin star for “Most Likely to Make You Laugh Until You Drop the Bar,” he’d have *cinco estrellas, cabrón*. ¡Sign up or I’ll make you do burpees with a mop!

Great day in the Leander CrossFit!! Jim always put attention to our posture and that way we always do the correct exercise :)

Jim is a Great coach! He really wants to take you to your best self! I love his class

It was a great workout with one of our awesome coaches!

Encouraging and Motivating

Jim is awesome coach, very knowledgeable, unique warm ups and always make class enjoyable.

Mike does great job explaining and workouts and demonstrating it with intrinsic details which is very useful.

Josh is great! We love him and he always keeps class fun.

Coach Jim is awesome! He always keeps us motivated and makes sure we give 100% every time. His classes are super fun — he cracks jokes, comes up with creative warm-ups, and keeps things fresh. What I really appreciate is how he works around injuries and gives modifications so everyone can keep moving safely. I’ve been training with him for almost two years, and I’ve seen a huge difference in both my fitness and my confidence. Jim genuinely cares about his athletes and knows how to push us in the best way. Highly recommend him if you want to improve and have fun doing it!

Josh is a great coach. Always brings great energy, goes over the workout in great detail and ensures everyone is lifting properly.

Michelle’s attention to detail is impeccable. She provides appropriate guidance on movements based on the athlete’s skill level. She’s also great at keeping the integrity of the class intact by respectfully addressing interruptions during class (i.e. people talking, people walking in class while it’s on going, injury prevention, etc.). She ensures that athletes have a positive experience in class. Love going to Michelle’s class!

One of the best coaches I have ever had! She understands what and where I am getting things wrong and always corrects me and motivates me.

Mike is always full of energy and a great coach. Actually thought me the right way to do a pike push up today! 11/10

I always enjoy Jim’s classes. He brings lots of energy and fun to every class. He also watches each individual and gives corrections on form. He also encourages to try new techniques. Thank you Jim for bringing positivity on start of each day! Keep up good work, Jim!!

Great

Banter is good ! Keep it up.

Always encouraging and pushing with a taste of smile :)

Coach Michael is always fantastic! He’s very personable, professional, and goofy all at the same time! He is very knowledgeable about the skills he teaches.

Great! He was very patient and showed me all the forms in the. Appreciate his coaching

Encouraging and light hearted with the problem children in the class and complainers (me). A great CrossFit coach

Love the community at LCF and Jim’s classes are lively a

Love Elissa’s passion for fitness, programming, & making people better.

Rebecca is an amazing coach. I have physical limitations that prevent me from performing certain movements. She is always able to modify the workout in a way that meets my needs while still challenging me. Very knowledgeable.

El is great!

Good workout, accommodated my injuries and abilities (or lack thereof) and helped me improve my clean.

Josh is always encouraging and pushes you to be the best you can be. He is very mindful of proper technique and form. I appreciate that he walks the class and coaches each member attending.

Thanks Josh!!! Appreciate your ability to help me learn good technique in the workouts. Also being able to have finesse in scaling while still helping me grow in skills.

Liz runs every class with focus and energy, explains workouts clearly, demonstrates each movement, checks your form, gives direct feedback, and ensures you get individual attention while encouraging you to improve every session. Liz is a phenomenal coach!

4:30pm class on Friday with Elissa are filled with great music and great people. Love her warmups that get the class ready for the WOD. Always filled with great energy and enthusiasm!

Very enthusiastic and energetic and always makes sure you're doing the move correctly. He really makes you want to push yourself to try your hardest and not give up.

Detailed explanations on the workouts

Michael is always very engaging, helpful, and friendly! Thank you for another great workout 💪

Michele is an awesome coach. Even though we’ve done Russian twists many many times. I was reminded it’s not a full twist unless past hips. Also even though today was a community workout she emphasized correct form and own your workout!

Always a great class. Coach is organized and informative.

Hi Elissa! Your class was great! I really appreciated your pointers and making sure my form was good. Can’t wait to have you again!

Michelle helped me well to correct my body postures to make sure that I do the exercises right way.

Thanks for the corrections in my form. Warm up was nice and steady, I love it!

Wonderful

Awesome coach like always, explains every detail of the work out ,if we need assistance she is always there to help , thank you Michelle 💪🏼

Great class today! probably the best hour of my day! Cheers and keep up the good work 👏

Josh is always very knowledgeable, helpful and patient with a great sense of humor. Highly recommend for all fitness levels!

All of the coaches are great and Josh is excellent. I always enjoy his upbeat coaching style and presence. Today was a tough workout so appreciate his knowledge on the right ways to push during the rough parts.

Josh is an incredible coach with great energy and attention to each member! Also displays elevated skill in crowd control 🤣

Good

Really nice and supportive!

Kevin was amazing! Very welcoming and answered all of my questions! He checked in on my often which made me feel supported throughout the entire workout☺️ very good

She was good today morning just like her other days. What I love the most about today’s class was the planning of the workouts. She made sure it will done just in time. The pre-workout was good too.

Knowledgeable and helpful coach. Made sure everyone one in the class is doing the exercises in the right way and helps to correct them when needed

I think he does a great job. Manages the time effectively and does well at managing the large classes. Only negative I would say is, I don’t like being corrected/critiqued mid-lift. Would rather finish my lift first, but that is pretty minimal and could just be unique to my preferences. Overall, he’s a good coach.

Elizabeth is one of the most energetic coaches. She provides clear guidance and also provides proper corrections for our techniques.

Great coaching today, walked through the steps on proper technique and had a good time putting the work in!

He was kind and hospitable. He helped me figure out where to start and encouraged me to start slow.

Great attitude, and made his way around the class to ensure every athlete was in form and in case they had any questions. Engaged with the class

Great workout! Thanks Chandler

Sometimes I feel embarrassed to scale or ask questions, but Michelle was encouraging and helped me scale appropriately and in a way that was still challenging and gave me a great workout.

Josh is a great coach! He explains the movements, workout very nicely and easy to understand. He is very welcoming to new people and making sure I had everything I needed

Kevin focuses on correcting my form and weight overload which has helped me seen real progress physically. Thanks Kevin !

Michael always verbally explains movements well, so I can understand. Along with showing the movement of course. Whenever he shows the "do not do this" movement it's always helpful because let's be honest, I do those things. Love the reminders before the work starts to make sure you DO certain things SO YOU DON'T HURT YOURSELF. I love them even more when I'm in the middle of the WOD because I sometimes get sucked into just getting the rep in the allotted time instead of focusing on my quality. Crossfit is a dangerous sport; and you can't make/keep gains if you're out of the game. Lastly, Michael is very approachable whenever I have questions. And the man seems to always be cheerful with a sincere "nice work" when the workout is done, love it. Always a good day for me when Michael is coaching.

Great coaching as always! El Cacique demonstrated all the exercises perfectly and helped correct my form with the kettlebell push press.

Great job on explaining workouts and movement. Enjoy her classes!

Kicked butt

Great coach!

Elissa did a great job explaining the workout and scaling options!
