Reagan was incredibly welcoming and supportive during my workout. She took the time to help me correct my form to ensure I was moving safely and effectively, which I really appreciated as this was only my second CrossFit session. She explained everything clearly and was both encouraging and motivating throughout. At the end of the workout, she made sure to recognize my effort with some kind words, which really boosted my confidence. I truly appreciate her guidance and positivity!

It was my first day at North Rim, and I don’t know much about CrossFit. We were doing power cleans, and I had no idea how to do them. Derrick helped me the whole way. He showed me warm-ups that were specifically designed to get me ready for power cleans. The warm-ups also broke down the power clean movement into easy steps, which made more sense when I tried the full lift. At one point, when I was going the power cleans I thought I had too much weight on the bar and was going to take some off, but Derrick told me to try again—and I did it! I even added more weight after that. He really helped me not give up, and I felt great afterward. He encouraged me the entire workout and gave me little tips along the way that helped me improve. I didn’t feel embarrassed at all being at a new gym, with new people, and learning new exercises. Derrick also gave me a tour of the gym and motivated me to come back. I’m excited to be back today for another workout!

I’ve been doing CrossFit for over 7 years and Elaina has the eye to notice the smallest changes I can make to still improve my lifts and gives understandable cues. She is also always a positive energy during class! I couldn’t ask for a better owner for the gym she has pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me feel comfortable doing so many things I avoided for years.

Elaina is an awesome coach! She really takes the time to show you the movement and prepare you for the WOD. Since being pregnant, she always checks in on me and makes sure to give me plenty of options to modify the workout. I’ve enjoyed being a part of this community and have felt so welcomed!

I went to North rim CrossFit for the first time this week and honestly it was a sweet and memorable experience. The facility and structure of their workouts was so refreshing. Gavyn was patient and clear with their approach to helping me out with my form and encouraging me in the process. I definitely will come back and refer friends :)

Elaina is not only one of the kindest people I've met, but she knows how to light a fire inside of you that makes you want to be the best version of yourself. Elaina helped me change the workout to accommodate for my injured ankle today, and she will always give you scaling options for where you are. Simply put, I feel at home at Elainas gym, especially when she is coaching! Nothing negative to report.

Derrick is a terrific coach! I feel like I have a personal training session every time he coaches the class. When I am struggling with something, he takes time to help me learn the right way to complete the movement, starting with very light equipment. When I have the movement down, he works with me to figure out where to start with a little more weight and build from there. I never feel abandoned to figure it out myself. Derrick watches over me to be sure I don’t try to take on more than I am ready to handle, especially when there are a lot of reps, since I am not yet good at knowing how the number of reps will affect my performance. The people at this gym are ready to help and encourage, but it doesn’t feel like there is pressure to compete. I am glad I joined North Rim CrossFit!

I dropped into a chill, Saturday partner WOD. Elaina greeted me upon arrival, got me oriented and introduced me to several members. She also facilitated partner selection so I didn’t feel like the kid picked last at recess. The gym is very cool and very clean. All the equipment is in great shape and the rig is big. It seems like a really good community and if I lived here I’m sure I’d join. I highly recommend the gym and Alaina specifically! The Saturday wod was a good sweat but also good recovery after a full week of CrossFit.

Being brand new to crossfit I was extremely intimidated and wasn't sure it was for me. Thanks to Elaina, I have been going for over two months now. She modifies the workouts and shows me multiple alternatives if need be. Always on my side encouraging me to push through. If you’re thinking of trying it, do so you wont regret it.

Great atmosphere very welcoming community, coach partnered with someone so they did not have to do it solo which was awesome to see but even with the aggressive workout found her way around the floor encouraging others, 👏 second time dropping in and both great experiences. Anytime I'm in chico I'll be sure to find my way to a class here.

Derrick is always very thorough with his explanation and walkthrough of the movements. I also have a small injury currently and he was quick to give me alternative movements so that I could still do a version of the workout! Very grateful to be a part of such a supportive CF box!

Elaina is amazing! She’s encouraging, motivating and everything you would want in a coach. It’s obvious she loves what she does and is passionate about health and wellness. I’m a beginner in the gym and she coaches with the perfect blend of patience while still pushing me to “try the next hard thing”. I truly feel like she cares about me and my wellness. I’m so grateful to have met her and be part of her gym!
