CrossFit Structured Fullerton

What a great place to begin or continue your fitness journey. Although CrossFit can be intimidating, the great coaches at Structured really make it easy to learn. Every movement can be modified to fit the most novice athlete to the most advanced athlete. The coaches here are great and really take the time to get to know you, your strengths and your weaknesses. The atmosphere at Structured pushes you to achieve your goals in the most encouraging way. This is a great place if you’re in shape or if you are a single mom in her 40’s who has not worked out in a long time. You will walk out of the door more fit than when you walked in and you’ll feel like you belong to a great family.

I’m not sure why this review never went through, but I’m trying it again to help other woman like myself.
To be honest I am so surprised that this place has so many 5 stars. When this place first opened I was excited to have a Cossfit not far from my house. I bought one of their packages and went to my first intro class. While everyone was friendly, the trainer asked me a few questions. I had told the trainer this was my first time at a Crossfit and I had not been working out in a long time, but was excited to try something new. Well the workout was so tough that I could hardly breath, I felt really pressured and anytime I tried to catch my breath he was on my back to finish within the designated time frame. The trainer was a young college student from CSUF, I felt like he really didn’t know anything about being a woman in her 40s, after 2 children who hasn’t worked out in a year. NOTHING! His workout would have been great if I was back in my 20s and was in great shape. I felt that this workout was not for someone who was just starting out and wanting to get fit and didn’t want to join Golds Gym.
However, this place is for those who are already in top shape and are looking for more intensity. When we were done I could hardly catch my breath to even drive home, thank goodness I live in Fullerton. I never went back, I still have 19 out of the 20 sessions I purchased.

I live nearby and have been wanting to try out cross fit. I’ve been very happy with the first 2 months and feel stronger, have more energy and welcome at every session. The coaches are personable and the class sizes vary from 6 – 12 people and the space can definitely accommodate more bodies. I look forward to continuing here. Prices are +++ for unlimited monthly memberships compared to other gyms. Focused on building the fundamental of movements for people at any ability. Workouts are scaled for each persons ability which is great for people just starting out or people who have been doing cross fit for years.

I started coming to Crossfit Structured a few months ago after finally giving in to a friends incessant invites and assurance that I would love it. He was right. I initially decided to go once just to see what it was about (and to shut him up) and have been coming back since. I lost 25 lbs in the first 3 months and I actually look forward to my workouts. The coaches know their stuff and are very passionate about helping everyone meet their goals. There is a strong sense of community and both the athletes and coaches push me to be better. If you have been looking to give this thing called Crossfit a try, this is the place for you to make it happen.

Awesome establishment for both physical gains and great people. Fred, the owner, is an amazing coach and person. I highly recommend

I have not joined crossfit structured yet, but I receive private personal training from Michelle. I met Michelle a few months ago and let me tell you she is amazing. She definitely has pushed me to my limit and without her I don’t think I could have never known what I am capable of doing. I’ve had a lot of personal trainers and I never thought it was hard, but I realized that it’s because I never had someone as passionate about health and fitness as Michelle is. With her help I have started a healthy lifestyle and I am so thankful for that.
I cannot wait to join crossfit later this year, start the women’s strength series this week, and continue my personal training session with Michelle. I highly recommend crossfit structured for anyone who is looking to join a crossfit gym. Michelle is hands down the best coach and will motivate, inspire, and push you to work hard.

Ok, here’s an update after three months:
I’m still doing it, and I still love it.
Here’s the slightly longer version:
I’m a true believer in CrossFit now. After major shoulder surgery, my wife’s pregnancy (with four months of bed rest), and the first six months of having infant twin boys, I found myself at a pretty low-​water mark in terms of my fitness level. Three months in, I can safely say I’m in better shape than I was in high school, and unquestionably stronger than I have ever been in my entire life. I had never even stopped and considered a barbell before, let alone lifted one, so I was definitely starting from below Drake in this whole process. If I can get results, I believe anyone else can too. But you gotta show up and do the work.
That brings me to the first specific positive for this location: early classes. If I couldn’t work out before everyone else in my house woke up, I couldn’t do it at all. 5:30am is perfect for me, and I have looked at some of the other boxes to compare and not all of them have nearly as convenient of a schedule for me. I imagine that time is not for everyone, but classes that range from 5:30am — 8:30pm weekdays (8, 9 and 10am on Saturdays, closed Sundays) should mean that there’s something for most people.
When you hear people talk about about CrossFit, they always mention the sense of community that it breeds, and here is no exception. You see the same people each week, and you all suffer through the same workout together. They also get to see me soaked through with sweat and hair that transitions from bed head to «kind of a flock of seagulls thing.» You can’t help but enjoy that. I also think that it starts from the top, because the owner here is just a darn nice guy, who really seems to enjoy doing this.
I have seen some other reviews of gyms talking about «high-​pressure sales.» That is not here. No contracts, just a recurring monthly payment that you can cancel at any time. I think the sales pitch after my introductory classes was «so do you want keep coming?»
I’m not sure what else to mention. There’s a bathroom, an open sign in the window, and stuff to work out with. What else do you need? They might have wrist wraps for sale with the gym logo on them if you ask. They also use a Wod tracking website that allows you to sign into classes, log your scores, and compare to people from other classes in the day. If you’re me, it’s pretty humbling. My ego gets checked at the door, and then again at the web browser.
I’ve still never been to another CrossFit gym, and when I do get a chance to visit another one for a workout I’ll probably update this review again. But in the meantime, I love this place. I look forward each morning to going here, which was not my previous experience with working out.

As I’m getting a little older it’s been difficult for me to get back in shape as quickly as I used to. CrossFit has turned out to be the best solution for me since they take such a well rounded, exhausting, and fun approach to fitness.
At CrossFit Structured Fullerton all of the trainers are great. They will push you to your limit and help you achieve your fitness goals. It’s a no-​frills gym and you get right to business when you arrive. The owner has a passion for fitness that is infectious.
