Crossfit Signal Hill

I just started here and so far, I love it. They have a real friendly gym and the trainers are very engaging and really spend the time showing you how to move right so you don’t murder yourself straight out of the gate. I tried cross-​fit before and had to stop after 2 days because of the murder of which I speak.
Even though i just started, i can tell they are all like a big, fit, friendly and non-​judgy family. I also like that the place is big so even when they have bunches of people working out, everyone can find their own space.

Love this gym w all my heart! Can’t thank this community enough for changing my life for the better! Great coaches and great people to sweat it out with :) I have been an athlete most of my life and finding crossfit is just what I needed to keep up my competitive spirit and challenge my body. I would recommend this gym to anyone and everyone looking for a new place to workout and/​or make new friends!
One on one training available too! Come in and sunrise yourself.

Walking into a gym is typically intimidating for me. I was slow and out of shape. The owner Phil and coaches Jaime (both of them) and Axel are incredibly encouraging. Everyone works at their own level but we all give our best. I’m an introvert so a setting like this would normally be overwhelming, but the coaches, people, and everything about this place makes you keep coming back!!! In a short time I went from not being able to run a block to doing some pretty amazing things! Great place to be. Loving people.

Great individual and team workouts. The gym owner Phil has created a close family atmosphere here with all of us. My strength and confidence grows daily. Very happy here. I could not imagine working out anywhere else.

They have created more classes and I didn’t have problems with not able to join classes anymore. I enjoyed the classes. i have a problem pushing myself to the limit but I was able to in the classes. the coaches are great. Towards the end of my classes I was beginning to get the workout highs and realizing why people get addicted!

I really like going to this place. I signed up for the Living Social deal and started going immediately. I didn’t expect to show up 5 days a weeks so the first few weeks or so, there were plenty of openings in classes. Then as it approached the second month, classes were full most of the time but this wasn’t an issue. I just simply set myself a reminder to reserve next weeks class on my phone. So one week I would go Mon/​Wed/​Fri or Sat and then one week I would go Tues/​Thurs/​Sat (or skip Saturday altogether).
This was my fist experience ever joining a gym and prior to this experience, I had lost 40 lbs an my own. I did this to gain some upper body strength and learn a bit about strength training which I had no experience with. The trainers there are very patient with you and it is a positive envirnoment.
Unfortunately, about a month in I broke my ankle playing hockey. Being the idiot I am, i continued to exercise (unknowingly) on a broken ankle. I just assumed it was sore from the impact of the puck. Finally, I went to my doctor and got an x-​ray because the ankle was getting worse. It turns out I had broken my ankle (fibula) from the impact of a hockey puck hitting my skate. I had to stay off it for the duration of the living social promo.
I’m finally healthy again now but I simply can’t afford to go here at the moment. If I were to do crossfit again (and I really want to), I would definitely consider this place because I really enjoyed the 5 weeks or so I went here and was already noticing my arms getting much stronger. Too bad I lost all of that sitting on my butt waiting for my ankle to heal. :(
Oh and they did make us set a goal when we first signed up and I’m happy to report that I did the Tough Mudder (on a broken ankle no less) and was able to complete all of the obstacles included those dreaded incline monkey bars.

Getting close to 2 years now and still going strong with CFSH. This place is my absolute go too. I’ve pretty much completely abandoned the 24 Hour Fitness/​LA Fitness scene. Why? I like getting results. This place is really geared for all fitness levels so don’t shy away. If you’re new to fitness come on in and change your life. If you’re a triatheleting gym rat, prepare to break some PR’s. On top of that the coaching staff is THE BEST and the members are FANTASTIC. Prepare to make like 20 new best friends.

The place, the staff and the people working out here rock. I am celebrating my 1 year anniversary soon, and everyone here was so supportive of my individual and personal goals and I exceeded them easily.
Best place to be regardless of age, background, physical condition or your motivation. Just awesome. Worth getting up at 545am for!
How many other things in life can you say that?

So disappointed!!! I bought a groupon for this crossfit location and boy was that a waste of money! Classes are full a week in advance so if you have a crazy schedule don’t even bother. Classes are full within 2 hours of opening the appointment time. Maybe they should have opened up more classes for the groupon in ratio to the groupons sold. I know I’m not the only one who is very disappointed in these services. I feel like giving up on even trying to make appointments because they are THAT impacted. Save yourself some money

I love this gym!!! hit my 2 year mark at this gym a month ago and its been the best 2 years ever!!! i love the people and the coaches! everyone is so supportive and I am doing things that I never thought my body could do. I laugh when i look back at the days where i would just take spin classes and be a cardio monsters and never left weights!!! now I’m deadlifting like a beast! can’t wait to see what else I will accomplish with the help of the best coaches ever.

My go to place for all my crossfit needs. I been here since almost the beginning, and have seen the transformation from the first box to our current (bigger and better 3^rd box) over a short time. They are always looking to improve their services for the better while improving our athlete within us. The trainers are amazing and proactive in the box and outside the box, having that sense of community. They always have an eye in perfecting my form and give tips in how I can improve and attack my workouts. Love Crossfit!

I started CrossFit on Oct. 31, 2011 and this will be a day I will never forget. I didn’t really know much about it at the time but thought to give it a shot because I got a good ‘Groupon’ on it and I needed to get my fat ass into shape. At the time I weighed just over 250lbs and wasn’t being active, today I weigh 215lbs and am addicted. I have gained a great deal of muscle and have never been stronger in my life — not just physically but mentally as well. The great thing about this gym is that it is like a big family — everyone is treated with respect and no matter the skill level we all motivate each other to get that last movement in and finish strong. If you are a newbie to CrossFit or a long time participant I recommend this gym — the members and coaches are great and everyone is challenged to perform at their best. If you are serious about making a positive change in your life… Come here.
Thank you Phil for opening up CrossFit Signal Hill. This place has completely changed my life and I appreciate the time and effort you and your team put in to making everyone at CFSH better.

I’m writing this overdue review as a thank you for the amazing change it has made in my fiances life. He has lost 25+ pounds, is healthier, leaner, and happier then he’s ever been before. Phil and his team have been inspirational and although I’m late to jump on the train — I can’t wait to join in!

I am so pumped on CF Signal Hill! I was a little nervous about starting, but I had a friend buzzing in my ear for months about it and I signed up so he would shut his mouth. My only regret is not starting sooner. In the 2.84 months I have been going, I have crushed personal records, and done things I’ve never imagined. Those pull ups I couldn’t do on the olé’ 8^th grade physical fitness test? Nailed em! Big girl push ups? Suck it Trebek! I love all the coaches, and the other CF’ers are awesome. People cheer you on when you’re about to quit, talk you into going for that heavier weight you’ve been scared of, and make you wanna be a gym rat. AND! I made a bunch of new friends. For realzies. The only thing that would make this place more awesome, would be free chocolate. Or free beer. Duh.

I am so happy to have found CF Signal Hill! This place is awesome, friendly crossfitters, amazing WODs, and great staff! Thank you Phil, you are great!
There is no excuse that you don’t have time to work out, there are morning and evening classes! You will not regret signing up!

Love this place. I’ve been going for a few months now and I can’t get enough. I haven’t done CF anywhere else, but I wouldn’t want to leave Signal Hill, this place is like family. If you’re ever thinking about trying CrossFit (why else would you be reading this?), this is the place to come!!! Now get your ass in here!

Wow– Never had a workout like that. It kicked my butt. Can’t wait for the next WOD.

While I was working out in LB, I came across this little gym. They were offering a great 1^st month deal so I signed myself up. Everyday was a crazy new workout that pushed me. Everyone from the staff to the other gym goers were extremely friendly; It was like a little community of positive people. We all knew each others names and helped push each other to finish off the workouts strong.
Phil and his staff definitely know what they’re doing and are super dedicated to give each person the training and instructions they need.

I have been doing crossfit for about 2 years now and I recently joined Crossfit Signal Hill, Today I PR’d on my Squat-​clean and jerk by more than 30 lbs, Great place, highly recommend it.

Love love love this place. Phil and his boys have done a great job introducing newbies to Crossfit. I’m getting in much better shape doing Crossfit than I thought. I would come here everyday if I didn’t have to work so hard at my regular job.
