I recently started at CrossFit 781 after about a year off of a structured fitness routine. I was mostly just going on walks but knew that I needed and wanted to add strength training. I had been a CrossFit member at another gym in the past so I was familiar with many elements of the program and community but again had had a long stretch off fitness and had never come to this particular gym. I chose this gym because it was close to where I live, they offer an InBody scanner and nutrition programming in addition to classes, and they had class times that worked with my schedule. So far it has been a great experience. I elected to do the nutrition coaching plus CrossFit classes. So far I have worked with Coaches Eric, Cassi, and Zach who have been very welcoming. The programming is really well done and I love that they post the whole week of workouts plus extra information like the goal of the workout, how it will help certain aspects of your fitness, how to prepare for it. I also love that several levels and scaling options are included in every workout so you can participate in class no matter what your fitness level is and get a great workout for you without trying to keep up with anyone else. The programming really meets you where you are and gives you a roadmap of things to build toward over time. As someone who is just coming back to fitness the scaling options have been key for me. Lastly, there are several classes where the class size is pretty small and it’s really nice to get so much individual attention and coaching. Having an expert to help with form, adjustments, alternatives, and scaling options is crucial to those new to or coming back to strength training. Very happy to be a member.

From day one, my experience at this CrossFit gym has been nothing short of exceptional. Zach, Eric and team have been incredibly supportive and patient, guiding me through every step of my CrossFit journey.For beginners like myself, the on-ramp classes are invaluable. These one-on-one sessions provide thorough instruction on basic movements and techniques, setting a solid foundation for my workouts. Even as I transitioned into regular classes, the coaches continued to offer personalized guidance and encouragement.Whether you're new to CrossFit or just starting your fitness journey, you'll feel welcomed and supported here. Highly recommend!

I joined CrossFit 781 about 4 months ago and love everything about this gym. CrossFit was not new to me, but my experience at Eric's gym has been great! Wonderful classes, one on one coaching and a super supportive environment all around between coaches and other members.

It took me about a year of thinking to decide to join because I had never done CrossFit before and worried it would be "too much" for me. Turns out I couldn't be more wrong and I really wish I didn't hesitate for so long. The coaches are great and they have scaling options for every fitness level and/or limitation a person may have (e.g., due to an injury). The owner, Eric, is super nice and always there to help with any questions, and them gym is well maintained and clean.

Working with Eric and the team at CrossFit 781 has been the most rewarding decision I’ve made. All of the coaches are knowledgeable, kind, and push you to accomplish goals you wouldn’t think were possible. They offer a welcoming and inclusive space. I recommend this gym to everyone!

The best investment you can make is investing in yourself, and Eric's expertise and immaculate facility do just that: help you become the best version of yourself. I felt too intimidated to do anything like this before, but Eric is so welcoming and a (proven) master at his craft. Cannot recommend the facility, brand, and working 1:1 with Eric and his team enough. Go there now.

I had the privilege of starting my CrossFit journey at the 781 and it was the greatest decision I ever made! I always felt like I belonged there and the coaches make sure everyone reaches their goals. All of the coaches really try to get to know the members and help you through each movement. Every time I walked into this gym everyone was kind and friendly and cheering me on. I used to refer to my time here as the “best hour of my day”! I hope you make the decision to start your CrossFit path here because you will not be disappointed!

I just started at CrossFit 781 and I love it! I started with 5 on boarding training sessions with Jess, which really helped get the CrossFit specific movements and exercises down. From the start, everyone at the gym was very welcoming so any “first time gitters” someone may have can be alleviated! They walk through the exercises in detail for the first chunk of class so you won’t be left behind. Also, Eric is always available for questions and is very knowledgeable not only about exercise but also nutrition!

I just started at Crossfit 781 about 3 weeks ago and I love it. The staff is so enthusiastic and positive. Also, they really emphasize technique and scaling to your ability. I am 49 and not in great shape. The people that are attending classes go out of their way to make you feel welcome and that is not something I have ever seen in a gym before. It's a pla e that makes you feel welcome, capable and challenges!

LOVE it here, just joined about a month ago! Hands down the best decision I've made for myself in a long time! If you are questioning this or if you've even called or checked out other locations (as I did) give yourself a chance and at least call and talk to Eric! Truth be told, I had been scared to even check it out because I told myself I'm not in "CrossFit" shape. Tried doing it on my own, but wasn't doing a great job. One day I decided to ignore my self doubt and at least call. After talking to Eric on the phone and meeting him to go over my goals any reservations I had about my body not being able to handle it went out the window. He made me feel so comfortable and reassured that all workouts can be modified to my fitness level (even with a minor shoulder injury). I started the very next day with an amazing coach who I just can't say enough great things about! Even in the class setting the coaches and everyone are just so wonderful and supportive you can't help but love it. These workouts are not easy but can be done, and I even look forward to them. So seriously, if you are still reading and trying to decide.... JUST CALL!
