CTOWN CrossFit

I have been working out at CTOWN CrossFit for about 8 months now. Joining CTOWN was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Before starting I was a little intimidated by the fact that I had little lifting experience. The coaches are extremely patient, and will take the time to make sure that you are performing the lifts correctly. Further, every member of the CTOWN community is willing to help. Since I started working out here, I have seen visible improvements along with a consistent improvement in my overall strength and endurance.

I went to CTown twice on a visit to see a few of my friends. They had been talking about it for about a year and I finally had to see what the whole discussion was about.
I went to Combatives and Movement with R.E. on Saturday. The Movement Class is wonderful and really makes you stretch out and feel loose for the day. Combatives is extremely fun and very educational when it comes protecting yourself. R.E. was patient and scaled everything to challenge us but to make sure we didn’t hurt ourselves.
After that, I asked my friends to take me to FitCon (which is their beginniners class to give Crossfit a try). Carl was the coach and he was absolutely fantastic. He challenged me but didn’t expect me to be on the same level as my friends. He scaled the workout to make me truly feel like I had done a hard workout and I felt amazing afterwards. Carl is a coach that will push you and challenge you but I couldn’t ask for a better first experience.
CTown is a pretty large gym compared to the other ones I have been to. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and they accept you regardless of fitness level. I never felt that I needed to compete with anyone but myself. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, amiable, compassionate, and are way more focused on your form to make sure you don’t hurt yourself over how much weight you can carry. If you can go to CTown, please go! I promise you won’t regret it.
Not to mention, Crossfit is a great workout that not only challenges you but makes you feel great! You are able to compete with yourself and have a great community that is cheering you on the entire time.
My experience with CTown was so amazing that I signed up for my gym in Illinois immediately when I got home. I have been doing Crossfit for a month and I absolutely love it so far. I can’t wait to go back to CTown!

I dropped into Ctown Crossfit while visiting Cleveland from Chicago. It was a really great experience, overall. Alex was our coach and was very helpful and nice. The location in the flats is pretty cool too. It’s well kept up and all of the equipment we used was in solid condition. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town.

I’ve been a member of CTOWN CrossFit for one year. I’ve enjoyed some very positive changes in that year, including loss of weight and inches around my waist, increased cardio endurance and a feeling of general well-​being. There are many opportunities to workout throughout the day, which makes it ideal for busy schedules. I’ve found my niche in the early morning classes and have developed friendships and received amazing support from my fellow crossfitters. In addition to the WOD programming, CTOWN offers its members opportunities to also focus on nutrition, mobility, self defense and other activities. I’ve found the coaching staff to be supportive, encouraging and they will really push you when you need it most. The facility is first rate, always clean and maintained and offers locker room/​showers, which is great when you’re on the go. I was curious, but felt intimidated, to start CrossFit. The intimidation was completely forgotten once I started training and felt the encouragement from everyone I met. It’s been a fantastic addition to my life, and CTOWN was absolutely the right choice for me.

I just moved to town a couple of months ago and I wouldn’t of had such an easy transition if I hadn’t joined CTown. The community is welcoming and the coaching is fantastic. I’ve been to a number of other CrossFit gyms and I have to say that CTown stands out as one of the best. During each class I’ve had a coach help me with my technique and they were always approachable if I had any questions. If you are looking for a gym to join or need a box to drop in on — I’d definitely recommend this one!

A little apprehensive and not sure what to expect, I walked into Ctown Crossfit in September 2014 and never looked back. I’ve had such an amazing experience in short 4 months. From the moment I met with Larry, to the start of my personal training classes with Carl, I knew I was right where I needed to be. I had very little Crossfit knowledge prior to contacting Ctown, and was nervous to start. I was put at ease during my personal training classes, learning everything from terminology to technique which has set me up for success during my workouts. The coaches are wonderful, want you to succeed and will push to your limits. I can say that it has made me mentally and physically stronger and has showed me that I can conquer just about anything and most importantly, to never give up. I still have a lot to learn with a lot of room to grow and I am looking forward to where Ctown will take me in my Crossfit journey.

This is a wonderful spacious gym that has everything that I’ve been looking for. The class sizes are great and the energy here is amazing. The coaching staff here really pay attention and go above and beyond to assist you with your training. I can’t imagine reaching my fitness goals anyplace else.

I watched my husband crossfit for 2 years or so before I finally gave in and joined as well. I wish I hadn’t waited so long! The coaches at Ctown are amazing– attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and motivating. I am not a morning person, and these people have motivated me to be at a 5:30am class 3x/​week!
I have worked with Carl 1:1 and can’t say enough about him. He is smart and thoughtful about his approach, and has pushed me harder than I thought was possible. He understands why we need to lift and move the way crossfitters do, and his programming is creative, fun, and effective.
My first response to «why do you do crossfit» is ALWAYS «because it’s fun.» I love coming to class, and love the people who are there– staff or otherwise. I love what it has done to my energy level, my body, and my self esteem. If you are considering joining, do yourself a favor and DO IT!

This is my first Crossfit experience. After 3 months I can say that it has been the best gym experience of my life. Crossfit is one of the toughest workouts you’ll find, and you couldn’t ask for a more supporting crew than the people at CTown. Their primary concerns are that a) you get the absolute most out of your workout and b) you do it the right way. From the start they’ll guide you step by step to ensure that your technique is correct and you’re not talking on more than you can.
Once your in full swing you can count on the constant support if your fellow crossfitters. Everyone knows everyone’s name, and you’ll quickly find some friendships, which is a great secondary effect of being part of this gym.
The owner Larry is really caring and professional, always making sure that we have the best equipment to work with. Him and the rest of the coaching staff are constantly coming up with new workout combinations and activities that we can do outside the gym, like happy hours, dinners, and other social events. They strive to build a real sense of community and you’ll see that immediately.
Price-​wise, it’s on par with other gyms that I’ve heard about. You pay a fee every 4 weeks which gives you 6 classes per week, with a number of options throughout the day to suit your schedule. Everything is tracked through the Wodify app, supper convenient.
Alright, you get the point. This is one of best choices you’ll make for your health. Yes, it’s more expensive than other regular gyms, but dollars to calories burnt/​muscles defined/​positive changes, you won’t beat this.
