Crossfit Vertical is located in my neighborhood (lucky me!). That alone could be why it feels like so safe and welcoming; but really, it's the tone of the gym, which is intentionally set by owners Jana and Andy and is held by all the coaches, that has allowed me to feel more at home, welcomed and supported in a gym than ever. I love that I can just show up for class, am coached each time through a warm up, movement review, workout and post workout stretching that I didn't have to design! I always feel like I can move at my own pace but have the bonus of a coach and of exercising within the amazing camaraderie and support of "teammates" (other members)! Yes please. The philosophy of scaling all the movements (more or less weight, variation on a movement, etc) to honestly meet where I am physically and emotionally on that particular day, at whatever stage of life, is not a second thought in the coaching, it is integral and underscored. Being part of this community has really made my life feel fuller. Thank you Crossfit Vertical!!

Over the course of many years, I've worked out at a lot of gyms.CrossFit Vertical is the best. I really appreciate that they offer a "masters" (55 yrs and older) class and allow you to try out a class before committing to the membership. Jana has been fabulous at welcoming athletes of all sorts, sizes and backgrounds - she's great at adapting exercises to suit each athlete's needs. Also, I really appreciate that at CrossFit Vertical they make sure everyone gets to know each other (e.g., introductions, etc.) - I quickly felt that I was part of the community. And on the technical end, the coaches/trainers are knowledgeable and skilled at teaching proper form and explaining why form matters. The focus on teaching technique and ensuring the safety of each athlete is appreciated and allows athletes to advance quickly and without injuries. This is a very professional CrossFit gym where you'll have fun, learn a lot and can improve your fitness quickly.

This place rocks! I was resistant to trying CrossFit for many years due to the bad rap it sometimes gets. But omg, my whole perspective has shifted since joining Vertical. I have found it to be one of the most empowering & positive fitness-related activities I've ever been a part of. It has absolutely helped me to make my personal health & fitness, and general wellness, central to me & how I structure my life.The coaches are great about meeting you where you are at and helping you to modify exercises when needed. It's totally understandable if some of the moves in CrossFit are intimidating, they were for me too! But again, the coaches do a great job of encouraging you to try new or hard things, or helping to "scale" the options to what's most appropriate for you. It's a very inclusive & positively supportive space. Not to mention it's a ton of fun!On the days that I have class, it's honestly the best hour of my day. And on the days I don't have class, I kind of don't know what to do with myself haha. Seriously, give it a try, you won't regret it!

I've been coming to CrossFit Vertical for about 6 months now; I joined after moving to the area. The coaches, community, and space are all wonderful, and I cannot recommend the gym highly enough for anyone at any fitness level.

I've been training at CrossFit Vertical for about 6 months now and I have truly enjoyed my time there. Coaches are personable and fun, and provide lots of options for scaling when athletes need something other than the prescribed workout. There is a nice variety of ages and abilities in the athletes who attend classes, and everyone is kind and approachable. Not only are Jana and Andy (the owners) extremely knowledgeable about Fitness, they clearly care about cultivating a community of wellness.

I have only good things to say about this CrossFit establishment and especially its owners Jana and Andy. First and foremost, the "human factor". Most of our Masters group classes, which I attend, have been taught by Jana. Jana is probably the best trainer/coach I've had throughout my experience in the fitness centers that I have attended during my adult life. Jana's comprehensive knowledge in this area, coupled with the ability to pay attention to each individual's needs and adjust/modify the exercise level and modality accordingly, is outstanding, to say it mildly. In addition, her ability to create a personal connection with each one of us and to create a bonded group/community with humor and true caring makes me feel like family, and I don't say this lightly.John, who has also been teaching our class, is very knowledgeable and personable. And Andy, who taught us a couple of times was a true pleasure to work with both in terms of outstanding knowledge and personal care of the individuals in the group.And last but not least, Jana and Andy's care of the CrossFit community and the community in general shows continuously in the fundraising and donation efforts to many causes locally and beyond (I experienced one of these personally). In addition, the various events in addition to the regular classes cater to the varied CrossFit community and adds to the cohesiveness of this community.In summary, I'd recommend without hesitation for anybody at any age and physical level of fitness to join CrossFit under the leadership of Jana and Andy. Thank you Jana and Andy and your team!

There are so many things to love about this place, but I’ll just mention the people and the atmosphere. Members at Vertical range from uber-fit athletic first responders to grandparents who just wanna stay a little younger and everyone in between. Even better, everyone gets along beautifully. There’s a lot of fun, laughs and encouragement. Just come in and move your body!
