“Highly recommend CrossFit Valley Junction to anyone looking for a fun supportive environment that challenges you physically! I have done CrossFit off and on for a few years now. I recently switched back from a stint of powerlifting and CFVJ is such a supportive and fun community. The workouts are challenging, the coaches are knowledgeable and caring, and the members are fun and supportive! I cannot recommend a better place to continue your health journey!”
“I was excited to start the 6 week weight loss challenge. I wanted to lose weight and get healthier but I also knew it would be hard. The coaches and members are very encouraging. My friends and family gave me motivation and encouragement that I needed also. The diet was very strict but you are eating every 3 hours. The private facebook groups were nice to see everyones progress, and ask questions. I am happy to say that I was able to lose 28.6 lbs in my first 6 week challenge. I had the opportunity to do a second 6 week challenge.The second 6 week challenge was tougher for me. I was able to lose 20 lbs in the last 6 weeks. It's crazy that I have lost 48.6 lbs in 12 weeks. I know I wouldn't have been able to lose this weight on my own. The trainers are so awesome, push you and want you to succeed. Thanks to Elite Edge for the support and pushing me in the workouts.”
“Thanks for being so welcoming on my travel through. My flight was delayed, I called Genesis and they welcomed me immediately. Awesome gym, they have everything you could want in a fitness center and more. Very friendly staff, I’ll definitely be back when I come here for work. Thanks again!”
“22nd Street is the place to be for power lifting. There’s an opportunity for you in any spot of life you’re in. The knowledge and professionalism is apparent and appreciated. Stop spending time looking elsewhere for a power lifting community and show up here to get physically and mentally better.”

“I’ve been working with Daniela for the past several months and I’ve been really impressed. She is such a talented coach and an amazing athlete. She really knows how to customize workouts to help you reach your goals and focus on any areas you want to improve. Plus, she’s great at explaining form and technique. I definitely recommend working with her one-on-one or taking one of her classes!”

“This location has gotten 25x better ever since Crunch Fitness opened up down the road.The key 4-6pm time has significantly slowed down, as well as other times during the day. Seems like they lost quite a bit of business to crunch but it’s good for the rest of us that stuck around. Less crowds are always good”

“Great location with super helpful staff. Gave me the information that i needed to transfer and showed great patience. Clean, machines in working order, no odor and general good vibes!”
“I absolutely love this gym. Both the space and the people are awesome. I've been taking personal training sessions with Tyler to help me prepare for the Tactical Games and he has been amazing to work with. The research alone that he did into the competition to help me properly prepare for it blew my mind. Cannot recommend this place enough!”
