Relaxed atmosphere, Gym was very welcoming. Hardest part was walking through the door now take it slow and get back to functional movements . Looking forward to coming back to CrossFit and improving my health!
The coach was friendly and gave great instructions. I feel like this is the place for me
I was there during “bring the friend” week , It was Great experience. Matt was helpful and supportive. I’ll be definitely coming back.
Great workout. Good options to scale.
Since joining S3E Crossfit, I have lost a lot of fat and replaced it with mostly muscle and testosterone…and maybe a little fat. My wife can’t keep her hands off of me. It’s become a serious problem. High quality problem…but a problem nonetheless. I don’t need help with this problem, but you asked for feedback, so… Sorry not sorry, Matt! 😅🫵 PS - Being a member of S3E is one of the best things I’ve ever done for my health and fitness journey, and my mental toughness. I appreciate you a lot, as well as Kristie, Moriah & Tibbs.
I loved the breakdown of the clean and jerk especially the hands on hips!
After teaching group fitness at 5 different studios over 6 years, I’ve experienced A LOT of coaches and coaching styles. I love Matt’s style because he is SO calm, but also motivating. He is a great blend of positive & encouraging while also challenging athletes when necessary. As someone who was VERY INTIMIDATED to try CrossFit, Matt has been the perfect coach for my introduction to the sport. It doesn’t feel (too) intimidating & I feel that he meets me (us) wherever we are. As a former college athlete, I have a slight aversion to being told what to do in a workout class (hah) but Matt is so approachable and just calm/cool/collected that it feels like a very welcoming atmosphere.
What’s one personal change you’ve noticed since joining S3E CrossFit? I don’t miss class if at all possible. I feel accountable to the other athletes and coaches. We get specific guidance and any questions we have get a good, thoughtful answer. Thank you!
I got a late start to CrossFit, and because of that, I was dealing with so many different aches and pains as I ventured into this new lifestyle. But Coach Matt at S3E CrossFit has been wonderful in making sure that I scale properly - he carefully adjusts the workouts to fit my current abilities - and he constantly focuses on perfecting my form and technique. He doesn’t just tell you what to do; he watches closely, correcting my movements and offering clear, hands-on guidance to prevent injury and build strength safely. Coach Matt is always in a great mood and knows exactly how to keep you interested and motivated during every session. There have been times when I felt like giving up, worn down by the physical challenges, but through the support of my coaches - especially Matt - I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and push through those difficult moments. One thing Coach Matt taught me that I will always remember is this: “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” That mindset stuck with me and made a huge difference in how I approach each workout and obstacle. This gym isn’t just about the exercises; it’s about learning to believe in yourself with coaches who genuinely care and help you grow every step of the way.
Appreciated you pushing us during the last minute. Helped squeeze out a couple more reps
