A whole year has gone by and when I started I couldn't even pick up the barbell. When the wife notices you're looking better you know this gym has it going on. No need to supplement with nugenix because ladies, after 2 months at this gym, you'll love the changes too ?

I moved to Apex about a year and a half ago from Wilmington, NC. This was the very first place I came to (literally the day I moved) because finding a home gym is incredibly important to me. My original thoughts moving here was to try out a few places to make sure I was making the right choice, because I had previously been impulsive with my CrossFit gym decision and didn’t have the best experience, so continuing on with this sport was up in the air.After my first class here, I was immediately sold on the community alone. The people were welcoming, open; and most importantly non judgmental. My previous experience with CrossFit was overly competitive (while I enjoy some healthy competition, let’s be honest; we’re getting a little too old for that ?) it was important for me that injury prevention was a priority.Most people who harp on CrossFit assume it’s because we do ridiculous looking pull ups, or it looks like we will get injured. Rest assured with this facility that the programmed training is curated with absolute precision and knowledge, keeping injury prevention at the top of the list. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable about CrossFit, anatomy and physical fitness. They each take the time to get to know all of the athletes during class, not just their names, but their strengths, weaknesses and WHO they are!The owners truly care about their community they have worked so hard to develop, and it is evident they take pride in the family mentality that has evolved over their tenure as a CrossFit affiliate.I’m honored to be a member here; thrilled to continue my journey as a lover of the sport, and above all else, happy to have found such a loving and supportive community that I can be myself and enjoy a workout with friends.If you’re on the fence about CrossFit, this is the place to try. If you’re a seasoned athlete, you belong here. If you’re 20, 50, 70 years old; underweight, overweight, athletic; never worked out a day in your life — you’re welcome here, YOU belong here. It’s awesome, I promise!

First time crossfitter review!!!!I want to share that joining this gym has been the best choice I have ever made for my physical and mental health. You may have heard about CrossFit community, this gym is the perfect example of it!My first time in the gym since high school, (20 years ago) was Jan 2nd 2023. I later joined this CrossFit gym in the summer of 2023. My weight loss and strength goal progression exponentially increased after joining!!! I had plateaued just lifting weights incorrectly at the Y lol.Reaching my goals is not what makes me want to write this review. I want to share my experience with anyone out there looking for a gym to lose weight and get stronger. That this CrossFit gym specially is the BEST!Going into CrossFit was honestly something that I feared and I like most thought it was a cult (it is btw, but we are all in on it. So its ok!). I also was worried about hurting myself lifting with my peers, who most are absolute monsters. The owner Brian is monster, but is the also nicest guy you'll ever meet.My fears could not have been more wrong. What I found a was a huge group of friendly crossfitters, coaches, and amazing involved owners who really just want to help you get a great workout and have fun! They also weren't all monsters, we have all sorts of authentic body types in the gym. Many dad bods like my own :)The coaches walk around during the workout to help you scale the WOD (work out of the day). Which for me, was most important. Their goal is to prevent you from hurting yourself while getting the best bang for your buck. You will also get the same treatment from your peers. I have had multiple friends tell me to lower the weight, even a coach recommended me once to just use the bar.... thank you Eva, I remember being very sore after that WOD.In summary, if I could roll back the clock. I would have started at this gym 5 years ago. I love it here and I hope this review helps urges someone else to give it a try!If this does, well heck... come find me at the gym. I will make you a pizza for your efforts (they call me pizza Brian, there are a ton of Brains here btw). Ill be the Brian smiling while a die during a workout.P.S. I wanted to write this anonymously, but it seems that not possible on google. I'm very worried that the owners will read this and try to give me a hug with tears rolling down their face... that's what type of gym this is.

Hands down best place to get fit. I can say alot right now about the level of commitment this place gives from the owners Brian and Crystal to the coaches and as well as the athletes themselves. This place welcomes everyone and their fitness level. Just the best community I have ever been apart of. If u are looking to join a crossfit box or just looking to drop in I promise u will not be disappointed by coming to this location.

I drop in every time I’m in town and I’ve never been to a more welcoming, or friendlier gym. I’m greeted by name by Coach Jess every single visit and the members are always incredibly friendly and hospitable - the community vibe is real here. CFC’s programming is also strong and allows for a solid workout. The facility is beautiful, new, and clean, and the coaching is fun, lighthearted, and encouraging. I’ll be back time and time again. Thanks for all the great drop-ins, Brian, Jess, and team!

This is my first ever Crossfit and I can confidently say, It's the best too. Brian and Crystal run this wonderful place and I'm so glad that I got introduced to crossfit through them. Irrespective of your age, fitness level and health conditions, they'll work with you to tailor the workout to your needs and you'll be amazed that you finished the session and that builds your confidence to keep coming for more. I really love these guys, going in I was super-intimidated by the general crossfit vibe but they made it so comfortable to ease in, Jess is an amazing coach, she checked on me during my first week and that did really make a difference. They also check on you if you miss a class or a couple to know how you're doing and they genuinely do it, I never experienced it before ever with any other gym. They have the ice-breakers in every class and rest of the people in the classes are very friendly, irrespective of your experience in crossfit which is very encouraging for newbies like me. During COVID in 2020 the kind of efforts they took to keep everyone continue with the classes, be it the online, or outdoor classes, disinfecting the equipment before and after use is very commendable. It really kept me going and be positive. The sense of community is very strong with them and you'll make friends for life, their socials and friday evening classes are the best! Shout out to the 5:30pm Gang. Yoga with Erin on Saturdays is like an icing on the cake which really helps with your workouts during the week. I really enjoyed two years with them, I had to move out of state for work and miss them. I knew they were good but realized they were the best when I went to the other crossfit gyms. A big shout out to Maureen, Morgan and Meghan who are the best at what they do. Brian, Crystal and Jess are such positive people. You'll fall in love with crossfit, like I did and they're the best to start your journey into Crossfit. CFC is the best!! Good Luck!Jazz

I came in from out of town and worked out here for a week. It was so awesome! Everyone was super welcoming and friendly. I haven’t been in a CrossFit gym in a while and I forgot how much of a community motivating atmosphere it was. Brian the owner and Eva one of the coaches were so cool to me! I love this place! I’ll definitely come back when I’m back in town! One of their rules I thought that was pretty cool was when you finish your workout you don’t start cleaning up-you cheer everyone else on until they finish their workout. Epic atmosphere.
