CrossFit Body & Fuel

When I first started CrossFit I had sharp pains in my wrists whenever I used a keyboard for over an hour. Over about a year at B&F working with Nick and others, I gained an awareness of my body (posture, muscle tightness, over development of certain muscle groups) and a set of tools (stretches, strengthening, massage techniques) that has allowed me to self manage my wrist RSI and other more minor aches and pains. So, now instead of sharp pain I feel tightness and fatigue and know to take a break and do some work on the area.
Would highly recommend everyone commit to at least 6mo of CrossFit from qualified instructors so we can all learn to keep our bodies working for us.

Where to begin. As stated by many others already, this place is incredible. From the owners Andrew and Dawna, whom both are great to be around and truly have a passion for you. You’re not just another member, you’re a person to them, and that’s the same for the trainers there.
Every individual accomplishment by someone is cheered on, and as difficult as the workouts are, you always feel like you are never doing it alone, you feel like you’re apart of a team. Signing up for this Crossfit pod was one of the best things I did in 2013, and I always look forward to not only getting excellent Crossfit, but learning more about the people that I go to battle with everyday.

I wanted to give this some time before I gave a review. I was very hesitant to try Crossfit because I lost interest in many other fitness pursuits in the past. I am one of those lazy people who tries to find the easy way out of everything. I am uncoordinated and not very flexible either. I always failed at going to the gym because I would always find an excuse to slack even though I wanted to be strong and healthy. So, here I am now, two months into Crossfit Body & Fuel and loving it. I try to go 4 days per week minimum, but often go more if my schedule allows. Don’t let my previous comments about myself fool you, Crossfit is NOT easy. The reason I keep going back is because there is no way I can slack. I am there for an hour, I am being instructed, encouraged, cheered on and motivated. I do the best I can. I am getting stronger and more flexible each week. This is a great community of people of all fitness levels. I am so glad to be a part of it. Give it a try!

Signed up for a month membership here. What’s great is that the workouts are never the same, and you will be pushed hard like you never have before. The workouts are grueling. One thing that is fantastic about this place is the first class they make you attend, the first part of the session goes over nutrution. This is VERY important because I truly believe losing weight/​getting in shape is 65% diet, 35% exercise. There is no amount of working out that can overcome a bad diet.
With that being said, I would not recommend this place for people who have not worked out in a while. Even the «warmup» is very tiring if you are not in shape. The warmup usually exists of a 400m run and then some additional exercises. Here’s an example of a workout after you do your warm up.
800m run
50 Good Mornings
50 Situps
Repeat this cycle 3 times.
My recommendation is that if you aren’t capable of running a mile non-​stop, you may want to get your cardio up just a little bit before signing up for a membership. The trainers are great though and they really encourage you to push yourself harder.

Since starting at Crossfit Body and Fuel back in June of 2010 I’ve seen remarkable improvements in my fitness and general health that I haven’t seen in over a decade of «normal» gym work and time in the military.
From weightlifting to cardiovascular/​metabolic conditioning work all the way to working with individuals on their nutrition, the trainers at Body and Fuel are both knowledgeable and motivating. There’s never been a time when Maggie, Mike, Dawna, or Shawn weren’t ready and willing to help me through a work out; whether it be with encouragement or calling me out :)
For anyone who wants to get in shape and have a great time with an amazing group, I wholeheartedly suggest Crossfit Body and Fuel!

Don’t shy away from Crossfit Body & Fuel. They have the best instructors who will ensure you are working to your fullest potential based upon your skill level. Before you know it, you will be exceeding strength goals you never thought were possible and toning areas of your body, you never thought you could tone.
If you are an athlete already, you will be amazed at how much you can improve your stamina, agility, and overall confidence in your sport. I love the smaller class size as it’s a great way to make new friends and engage in whatever level of competitiveness I desire.

I love this gym. I have been a member of the more traditional gyms in the past and could never get into it. This gym has a different workout every day that is challenging and fun. The class sizes are always small and the coaches/​trainers are awesome and very supportive.
What I enjoy most are the other people that go there. There is just a bunch of great people having fun and trying to be healthy. Everyone is very supportive of each other and there is no «attitude» here.
I have lost a bunch of weight and am in the best shape I have been in years. I wish I would have started CrossFit earlier. You should really give them a try.

I think a lot of people are a little scared of CrossFit. At least that’s what I hear when I talk about it. But my experience at Body & Fuel has really opened my mind and now I want to spread the word about how GREAT it is!
The trainers are awesome and are right there to help you get set up, practice each move and make sure you have proper form throughout your workout. They encourage you along the way and there is a spirit of camaraderie with fellow classmates that you will not find at a «regular» gym. You should give it a try!
