CrossFit of Fremont

I have been part of Crossfitoffremont family for about two years now even though I have left my fitness home (cfof) for a while due to a new job I refuse to be told otherwise, it was the best decision I ever made because I got to know Jeff and it got even better when Freddy and chynacho joined the gym. crossFit of Fremont has some of the best coaches I have ever known in the fitness industry as a matter of fact I don’t even call them coaches I call them my really good friends who just know more CrossFit than me, I always look forward to the one hour that I am about to spend at the gym every day. It is a mixed feeling of nervousness and excitement as if I am entering a competition every day and I have to do my best. I recommend this gym to anyone on any given day.

I met Freddie at my Level 1 and when I went back to West Coast, I stopped in for a workout. Great trainers, well equipped and a really great vibe. I did not meet Chyna, but too one of Freddie’s classes and it was great. There is a reason why Freddie has been in the community for as long as he has. If I’m ever in area again I would work out here anytime!

Alright Guys !!!
I wanted to write it down long time ago but relented because I had lot of friends here and didn’t had time to find another gym …
I have been coming here for almost 3 years now and loved to come to this GYM but things started going downhill almost immediately as Freddy and Chyna joined the Gym…
Like everybody else I was excited about this development and thought it will be good for our Gym.
But just after few days, Freddy started accusing me of snitching on them to Jeff!
This is his exact words he said to Chyna while pointing at me
«This is the Guy who is snitching on us «
After that day they both started talking rudely to me and will start cursing and swearing whenever Jeff was not in the gym. Freddy in particular would always be swearing at me whenever he saw me approaching towards the gym (Freddy was usually standing outside near the gate)
I tried to neglect it as I loved coming to this gym didn’t wanted to hurt my progress just because of this whining piece of shit !!
I kept avoiding him and stopped attending his classes but then he started asking all of new trainers to be rude to me and all of these
guys stopped talking to me and would not even reply If I ask them something. They will not provide any kind of guidance or support during the class …
On one instance Freddy started charging at me, yelling at me out of nowhere when I was in the heat of my WOD. He charged against me in the full anger and rage yelling «you are weak», «you are weak «… «you are weak»!!!. Chris Salazar was there watching all this and smiling amusingly… so he can also tell what happened !!!
Just because he is a cop doesn’t give me license to bully people around …
This also really shows how corrupt and phony this guys … who is always living in the fear that somebody is snitching on him… or well maybe he can just stop being corrupt. instead of living in fear all the time !!
Don’t know what he is hiding from Jeff to fear that someone is snitching on him … but just an advice a honest living is much better then being bitter and angry at all the time …
I still sometime had to attend some of there classes because I didn’t wanted to miss my training and I just come to the class whichever I can attend around my work schedule…
Well finally I did complained about the rude behavior of these new coaches to the Jeff but He said what he can do much as they are partners and part owner of the gym…
but he assured that he will make sure that everybody in the gym maintain proper atmosphere in the gym…
I again tried to extend the hand of friendship towards them but now they became even more rude against me …
Just because I extend the had of friendship to them they just thought it was my weakness !!!
but if I tolerated all this and now this gym started accusing me of stealing food from the Gym …
I have been paying them for three years without missing any payments along with several food payments, sometime amounting to almost 100 dollars a month !!!
I never knew these guys will stoop this low… now they are calling me thief !!! wow !!
Well it very painful and I am say this with very Heavy heart that I will miss some of awesome guys at this Gym but now its becoming too much …
When I joined this gym the old coaches Eric Wyman and Eli Murrie really put lot of effort in making sure everybody no matter at what level, feel comfortable and
I was about to post a review about all the progress and gains I made at this gym but unfortunately I have to put this here…
I just don’t feel excited or motivated to come here any more … I come here to push myself and focus on my training but for past few months I have not been able to focus and push myself when I see coaches instead being there to watch and help are just standing there and showing me eyes …
They want to run there gym based on rudeness and arrogance !!!
Well I say best of luck to them but I want to move on and don’t want my performance to decline …
I will make sure the treatment I got here as a paying patron should be known to everybody and they should take into account before supporting this rude and arrogant business establishment …
Moreover, Regarding allegations about stealing food. I have already gave them verbal authorization (now giving them here in writing) to charge $ 500 dollar to my account… just to cover up whatever food they think I stole and if they want more they have my credit card information they can charge more on it !!!
I will miss some of you awesome folks at gym for sure… but this Freddy and Chyna ruined this gym with there ego and arrogance …

I’ve been going to CrossFit of Fremont for 3 years next month and this place just keeps getting better and better. The trainers are knowledgeable, attentive and have the best personalities! There is a total family atmosphere in this place and you get that vibe right away. Everyone really helps you feel comfortable regardless of your skill level. There is a lot of equipment and there is constantly more being added. Best of all, the place is CLEAN! If you leave a mess, you get burpees, and no one wants burpees, so you can just imagine how clean it is. I love CrossFit of Fremont, it’s my happy place!

First and foremost this place is absolutely AWESOME. If you need a stress reliever, or you want to workout at a place where you are treated like family, this place is it!!! My only complaint about this place, is a complaint with myself, and that is I do not go often enough. Do yourself a HUGE favor come in do some crossfit, meet some great people and upgrade your life.

I’ve been a member here for almost three years. The programming is awesome and I consistently see improvement in my lifts. The atmosphere is one of a family dynamic. It’s so comforting to see the same faces everyday that enjoy a grueling workout as much as you do. Love this place and you should too.

I’ve been coming to CrossFit of Fremont for about a year and a half. Although I came from a different gym, it’s still intimidating to start over in a new community but it very quickly became my home. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and down to earth, it’s the perfect environment that motivates you to go consistently and put in work.
Whether you’re at a novice or elite level, all the coaches are well trained and prepared to help you achieve your fitness goals. If you’re not sure if this is for you, at least come in on a Saturday at 9AM for a free class. Bring a friend to check it out, the coaches and other members will motivate you and will be happy to answer any questions for you. Once you start coming in on a regular basis, it will become your happy place too :)

I’ve been a part of CFoF for almost 4 years now and it’s been the best 4 years of my life! I remember first joining and trying Crossfit in 2012 at the old location in Fremont and I remembered being very nervous and not knowing what to expect but Jeff the owner and the other trainers made me feel comfortable and taught me so much!
The trainers Freddy, Chyna, Jeff, Thomas, Drew and Chris are knowledgable and really care about the members. I love the weight training program and the WODs, I really see huge progress day to day, week to week, month to month and year to year! The gym is huge with lots of floor space and equipment. I work on lifts or make up a missed WOD anytime with no problems.
Not only do I train with everyone everyday but we all have become friends ;)

I’ve been coming here for the last 1 year. I have never been a very athletic/​gym person but fortunately I have never been overly inactive/​unhealthly as well. After a couple of years of running and going to a regular gym, I started at Crossfit of Fremont in December 2014. I’ve come to finally know what I love which makes me come back. The programming is top-​notch. The coaches are great and knowledgable. The community is awesome. I have reached a point where I feel something is missing in my day, if I a miss a day of workout! :)
Do Drop in and give it a try. Stick with it for a while and you WILL see the results!

CrossFit of Fremont– BOOTCAMP with COACH BELLA,
She’s one hell of a coach. She knows when to push you and when to take a step back. I joined boot camp in around mid April with a goal to loose some fat and gain some strength. After 3 boot camp sessions of 6 weeks each, I have lost 13 odd lbs, started lifting some heavy weights (from 5lbs to 20lbs) and performing all the exercises which I thought would only be possible in my dreams a few months back.
Coach Bella is always there to support you to reach your goals, just let her know what you want to focus on and she will push you to achieve it. It has been an exciting 4 months since I have joined boot camps. My sizes have gone down and my friends are noticing what a great turn around it has been.
Still lot more work to do, but I know Coach Bella is going to help me achieve it.

BOOTCAMP!!!
Wow what can i say?! I had let life’s whoas catch up with me in a big way. After years of not eating right, work stress, little sleep, and doing ZERO exercise i just was not happy with myself anymore. We all know how intimidating group classes can be, especially to newbies. This gym is very welcoming and EVERYONE here is so friendly and ENCOURAGING.
Coach B’s bootcamp is its own little family within the C.F.O.FREMONT family. She is very encouraging and is very in tune with with hearing your personal hurdles and goals. The class WILL kick your booty and coach B will push you, but it will leave you felling like a real WINNER. I have been with her since her start here and I’m on my 5^th session. My results are just insane from where i was before her class. I can truly say my strength, endurance, and stamina have greatly improved under her. I have lost weight and more importantly i have lost inches around the waste, body fat all the way around is down in a big way. My clothes fit me in a whole new way and i really could not be happier. The only negative if i had to find one is, you are going to need a new wardrobe! LoL So get ready to shop.

Taking Bella’s morning class and she is a wonderful instructor. The group in the morning is welcoming and encouraging. Nice environment to get healthy!

**Crossfit of Fremont Bootcamp — Coach Bella**
I started to coming to Bootcamp in late September. Prior to that, I had never been any type of gym and was COMPLETELY nervous of starting a boot camp class. My 1^st class there, I could tell right away that Coach Bella connected with everyone in her class and truly wanted to encourage you to get the results you came for. There’s a variety of exercises that you do, and you work out EVERYTHING through out your body. She’ll push you to do the best you can because she KNOWS you can, an she’s also there to support and give you nutrional tips along the way. Half the stuff I am doing now I never would’ve thought I could’ve done when I first started bootcamp, but I am so glad I stuck it out because I feel like psychically, a much stronger person because of these classes. She’s an awesome coach, very professional and a lot of fun… I would highly recommend taking a class of hers.

As a former college and elite athlete, I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated by CrossFit. I thrive in group atmospheres though and pick things up quickly, so I was very eager to get started. This was the 2^nd CrossFit gym I’ve tried but as soon as you walk into the doors and enter the fresh «box» (very fresh, if you come in the winter) you will notice the professional and welcoming atmosphere at CrossFit Fremont. The team was very friendly, and I loved the sense of community the gym had. I’m not one for small chat so I was happy that we got straight into the fitness portion as soon as the clock struck 9 AM.
The «Beginners» class was great… you can tell that the trainers are immensely knowledgeable and want to see you succeed. I also enjoyed seeing others cheering our class on as they waited for their 10 AM class.
I left the class happy – I was also extremely sore the next day, which is a great sign. I signed up immediately. Price-​wise, it’s up there… but their prices are definitely competitive with the other CrossFits in the area. I signed up for the open-​ended, month-​to-​month agreement for $ 190 just to test it out. I like that I can quit or change my contract at any time. I’ll most likely sign up for the 12 month contract after my first month, which will make the payments cheaper. I love the fact that they don’t charge you for the ramp-​up classes too, which I’ve notice a ton of other gyms do!
I’m looking forward to starting my ramp-​ups next week and progressing in my fitness. I don’t believe that price should hold you back when working to improve your health or fitness. Your health is like an investment and you definitely get what you pay for in most cases. Give it a try!

This review is for CrossFit bootcamp, although everyone at this gym rocks.
I started going to their bootcamp program about a year ago. I was miserable, severely obese, and out of shape. Walking into a Crossfit when you feel crappy about yourself is so intimidating; however, the owners and members quickly make you feel at home. There is an amazing feeling of support.
Fast forward about a year and on comes the crazy, unpredictable, hard yet understanding Coach B… Seriously, this lady will kick your butt. You will be pushed to the brink of death, feel sore in areas you didn’t know existed, and sweat every ounce of liquid you have drank for the last week. I have seen HUGE changes since she started the program. Ive dropped from a size 18 pants to a size 12. My confidence, stamina, strength, and happiness has returned. I feel better than I have felt in a long time. If you want to see serious results, try this bootcamp out. The best part about it is there is modifications for EVERYTHING. Coach B will help you figure out the best exercises to work around injuries and pains.

I have been going at Crossfit of Fremont for the past 6 months and each and every session I have been pushed to go beyond my comfort zone which is just awesome… Within 6 months I can see the difference in my endurance and fitness in general! The more important thing that I just love about this place is the camaradrie between the fellow cross fitters! Everybody genuinely pushes each and everyone to do their best…

If you need to get your little rug rats off the couch, out of the house and want to get them motivated to do some physical activities, Crossfit of Fremont now features Crossfit Kids with Coach Joey Wright! Joey is probably one of the funniest and wittiest person that I know of at the box. Whether he is interacting or coaching, he is awesome with the kids. Honestly, I don’t know how he has the patience for it! I’d die.
Also, if Crossfit is too intimating for you because it can be. They also offer a Bootcamp class with Lindsey La Dew. Lindsay has a extensive back ground in Kinesiology, injury prevention and as an athletic trainer. If you are looking to get stronger, or lose weight Lindsey can probably help with create a plan to achieve your goals.
Lindsey and Joey are basically the CF power couple at the gym.
CFoF is also working on the recreation room. At the moment, it includes a big ass TV with couches, a bar (donation by members we like to have a drink after a great work out), working on getting this arcade machine in order, and hopefully a shuffleboard table, foosball table, etc. When this is complete. I’m going to bring my sleeping bag and live here. There will basically be no need to go anywhere. lol

Beware if you are not already a regular CrossFitter. I’m not a regular at CrossFitter… Well, not yet, anyway, and I may not ever have been one if I based my opinon just on CrossFit of Fremont.
I went to a beginner’s class a couple of months ago, and it was a very impersonal experience, which I understand is not the norm in the community. The guy running the class did ask everyone why they were there, but that’s about where the «getting to know you» part ended. When I introduced myself, I made it clear that I was a complete fitness novice, but that wasn’t actually taken into account when we did the skill for the day, pull-​ups. I understand that they are an important element to learn, but I hardly think those in the beginner/​first ever CrossFit class can really be expected to do pull-​ups. The worst part to me was that while there were some modifications offered, there was serious reluctance to scale it down enough for someone with zero experience and upper body strength. I had to keep pushing for something below doing pull-​ups with a strap or box under my feet (until he finally said I could do them on the rings… which was still incredibly challenging for me!).
After class, there was no real discussion with any of us about how we did or our current fitness levels. We were told to come back if we wanted to sign up, and that was about it.
I decided to try some Intro to CrossFit classes through the Newark park district this month, and I’m feeling much more confident. I will be heading back to «real» CrossFit once this round of classes are over, but I will definitely be trying another box.

I started crossfit in Morgan Hill back in January. I loved the gym but driving all the way from Fremont to Morgan hill everyday was to much. I took a little break from crossfit but I wanted to start back without driving so far. I did a quick Unilocal search for gyms in the area and ran across crossfit of Fremont. I stopped in to get a feel for the trainers and staff & I was really impressed! Very welcoming and excited to answer any questions I had. I would Definitely recommend them to anybody that would like to start or continue crossfit.
Two thumbs up!

Moving my review as they moved location to Newar :).
I have always been into fitness, more so into Cardio, that’s where I used to feel the most comfortable but that was BEFORE CrossFit !! I realize that was such a huge mistake as I wasn’t focusing on building my core strength, endurance and flexibility. I still consider myself to be a beginner as I really do have a long way to go before I can accomplish any of my fitness goals but this is definitely a step closer in that direction.
I highly recommend Crossfit of Fremont because the trainers are extremely patient, encouraging and motivate you to give it your best, I used to find the WOD’s intimidating even though they are scaled down to suit your personal rquirements BUT that feeling of accomplishment when you push yourself and complete a WOD is indescribable !! It’s one of the best decisions my husband and I could have taken :)
