CrossFit Ava

Awesome place to workout. The people are warm and welcoming. Everyone is very approachable and fun to be around with. The coaching staff are top notch with Christian Lucero and his wife at the helm. Definitely a great place to start out Crossfit and stay! The facility is quite big with plenty of brand name equipment to work with.

I love this place! This is my home away from home and my 2^nd family. I’ve been coming here since they opened and there are no words to describe how grateful I am to Crossfit AVA. They helped me stay active and healthy through 2 pregnancies, always supporting, caring & watching out for me and my family. If needed, the members and coaches even help entertain my kids (without being asked), just so I can finish working out. After having 2 kids, my body isn’t as «in shape» as it used to be and there are days when I want to quit or give up because I feel like I can’t keep going. Then that one member comes over and starts encouraging me and before I know it, all the other members are there cheering me on too. How can I quit or give up, when so many people believe in me? It’s those hard days and many other moments, that remind me why I absolutely love the Crossfit community.
CrossFit AVA cares about each & every person that walks through their doors, whether you’re a member or a drop-​in, experienced or completely new to crossfit, they welcome everyone just the same.
So if you’re looking for a gym with experienced coaches, top notch equipment and an awesome vibe, check out Crossfit AVA.
At CrossFit AVA, we’re more than just crossfit, we’re family.

Beyond grateful for what this place has done for me and my family. Being new to CrossFit I was intimidated by the bars and weights. The coaches and members made me feel welcomed and empowered. You will seriously do things you never knew you could or thought you would. Through two pregnancies I continued to feel the love and support even as I lost the time I was able to put in along with my strength. Once I was able to return, gym members would take care of my babies as if they were their own so I could get a workout in. Facility… Excellent, coaches… Superior, members… Family. No matter your age or physical ability CrossFit Ava can cater to your specific needs. Give Crossfit Ava a try. You will love it!

I spend more time at this place than my home. So this place might be my first home instead of the home I currently live in. However, I digress.
CrossFit AVA has been a positive part of my lifestyle since I can remember. It’s my sanctuary away from all the ADULTING that I’M responsible for.
5 stars for all the coaching and programming. 5 stars for all the equipment and facility. 5 stars for all the AVA family members! 5 stars for you reading about this amazing place WHEN YOU JOIN!

I have been checking AVA out for about a month now, and I have really enjoyed it. First, and most importantly, the workouts are tough. For me, that is great. I have about an hour to work out each day, and the most important thing is to use the time efficiently and get the most out of the hour. During my time at AVA, there haven’t been any easy days. I show up daily, and work hard. The programming is good. While I don’t always understand the methods of programming, I can tell there is a program, which is important.
All the people are great. Extremely nice, friendly and approachable. I think CrossFit communities thrive based on membership quality. It is a group workout, so it is important to have a good group that motivates and pushes all of the members. From what I have seen, AVA has a good core membership. While I’m not sure how the ownership structure is, Al is one of the owners, and he is there daily. He is friendly and helpful. I think it is really great to have a regular ownership presence at the gym. I find it gets more out of the coaches and the members.
The facility is good. On occasion, it seems a little small when there is a big class, but that can make it fun with more people and more energy. It also is important to note that they are continuously making improvements. It seems like there is new equipment going in all the time. They just painted, and they continue to make improvements on an almost daily basis.
This is a gym worth checking out!

Crossfit AVA has great instructors. I’ve progressed so much in getting fit at this gym with the help of the instructors. The instructors are incredibly knowledgable and provide amazing advice on workouts and nutrition. The gym is very clean and large! There’s always parking here which I love.

I started CrossFit approximately 4 years ago and have never looked back. I used to have a membership at 24 Hour Fitness and there is absolutely no comparison to CrossFit. The results are amazing and you actually enjoy working out. The community here is great and a lot of us hang out and keep in touch outside of the gym. They offer a free intro class or two if you’re on the fence about giving it a try… you wont be disappointed!

How could I forget to review this amazing spot? Great box, great people! Everyone here are like my second family and they will be the same with anyone else. Up to date equipment ready for torturous WODs. Ample parking and easy to find. Approximately 10k sq feet of room that can hold up to about 15 people/​class. Includes an upstairs lounge for athletes. Come by and give us a try! You won’t regret it!

Crossfit AVA is a true family atmosphere where everybody knows each other, supports each other, and pushes each other. Coach Phil JD and Dan are just great knowledgable guys. Over the last 18 months I dropped 40 lbs of fat and put on 10 lbs of muscle. CF AVA is a place that caters to all fitness levels. Many of the members there I considere to be some of my best friends, and the owner AL is a guy that truly cares about all his members

Met One of the trainers in sprouts and he was so friendly! Very excited to check out this place.

No matter what your goals are, whether you want to lose weight, build a healthy exercise regiment, or just break a sweat, CrossFit AVA is the place to achieve them. Al, Phil, John, Billy, Irma, and JD have created a foundation of efficient programming that caters to all skill levels. They work with each member individually to constantly improve mobility, strength, and technique whether it is your 1^st week or your 3^rd year as an athlete. The strength/​skill work changes on a daily basis as do the WODs in order to give the workouts plenty of variety and to practice a multitude of techniques.
The facility is 10,300 sq feet/​two stories and houses the crossfit gym, PT clinic, locker rooms, pro shop, lounge, and more. Parking is plentiful and the gym is easily found tucked into a business complex.
Check out what AVA has to offer because the community that is built within the walls is unparalleled to any other gym I’ve ever seen and you’ll be surprised what you’re able to achieve with hard work, dedication, and the guidance of the coaches who are the gold standard of CrossFit.

*****A New Gym, Great Facility and Amazing Coaches and Owners!*****
A brand new gym, brand new equipment and a brand new feel is a breath of fresh air that pales in significance only to the not so new coaches and owners. Yes, this facility is brand new but the owner and coaches are not.
~Owner and Coaches-​5 Stars!
One of the owners, Al, sports big guns, abs of steel and the personality and charm of a movie star straight out of the black and white era. He has created a family feel in a CrossFit environment. The coaches come from a background of knowledge and motivation.
~The Facility-​5 Stars
The facility is 10,000 square feet of brand new space and includes showers, new equipment and soon will have a members lounge and sports therapy. I admit I am a huge fan of his rig and absolutely love the smooth coating on the pullup bars that left my hands smoother than a baby’s bottom after 30 pullups.
This gym is brand spanking new. It is definitely worth checking out. I was able to try two WODs (Workout Of the Day) here and I had a blast!
Ava, Orange… another reason the OC is the best place to live!
