“I have always been intimidated by “CrossFit” I en envisioned flipping tires and jumping on tall boxes with large weights… I’m 66 years old and that was scary. I saw an Ad for Essential CrossFit and decided to go see what they had to say. I was sure it would be another time I’ve paid for memberships and never went. I met with Ann and Beth and asked me to trust them with my getting healthy journey . Well I have , it was the best decision I have ever made ! They literally motivated me and helped me find a new belief in myself . This August will be a year for me, they delivered what they promised.The nutrition program they offer is second to none . I look good I feel good and with these coaches by my side I will continue to be dedicated my journey to complete wellness! Thank you Ann, Beth and all the amazing coaches at Essential CrossFit”
“Change the Game is amazing!! Working with Grant Bishop helped me significantly and put me on the right path to continue improving my golf game. They have top notch technology that helps while training. The training is very specific to your needs and I am very glad I worked with Grant.”
“This gym is perfect! I’m in town for vacation with the family and this is the perfect spot for a week of lifting out of town. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Jason the owner in person, but his customer service has been nothing short of perfection over the phone. Definitely give Muscleworx a shot!”

“Crossfit Wilmington is the absolute BEST CrossFit gym. From day 1 I was made to feel right at home. Very welcoming energy and environment. The owners remembered me from my drop in (my boyfriend & I did a couple drop ins around town to find the gym we wanted to become members at, but none compared) and I felt so cared for & like they wanted me to be there because they just love people. Other gyms we tried weren’t as welcoming. They welcomed me and my boyfriend with wide open arms and we have been members with them now for 4 months and have made SO much progress. The programming is AMAZING and fun and they incorporate the fun cool things that attracted me to CrossFit but they help you scale and progress and genuinely want to see you improve. I couldn’t do a handstand to save my life when I started or climb a rope… now I can. The confidence the coaches instill in you is unmatched. The WODS are fun and challenging in a way that helps you grow & you will feel proud after. The coaches are THE MOST SUPPORTIVE, informed, kind, caring, & empowering coaches in town. I can’t say enough good things about the coaches Christine, Jamie, Tanner, Kelsey & Kalen. & the members too! So kind & embracing. They will cheer you on until you get something and it’s the greatest feeling when the whole gym is rooting for you. Their community partner WODS every Saturday are also a must. I love that they care so much about the community & their members. It doesn’t matter if your brand new or experienced they help you & support you and answer your questions and address your concerns. If you’re looking for a gym this is the one!!!”
“As a visitor in town for a beach vacation, SeaCoast was amazing for drop ins! Reasonable rates, amazing facility, great coaching, and friendly community. Highly recommend!”
“I had the great opportunity to drop in at Crossfit Inside Out while visiting Wilmington, NC! The community was amazing and so welcoming! It felt like a home away from home while I was traveling. The programming was on point, providing a great workout with a lot of variety. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for drop in while visiting the Wilmington, NC area, or for anyone looking for a home gym.”
“This gym is amazing! If there was a six star option available I’d pick it. The coaches actually care and take time to help you one on one. The facility is clean and well organized. The community is strong and it’s just a fun place to be. If you wanna get fit and have a fun time doing it, come try CFR. You won’t regret it!”

The environment is energetic, positive, and fun. There is not judgement from other members instead they cheer you on. It doesn’t matter where you are starting physically the trainers work with you to get you to where you want to be.”

“CrossFit Carolina Beach tested my very soul ? and I can’t appreciate Coach Erica enough coming in for just me and encouraging that I was going to, in fact, make it through this workout.
I reached out super last minute right after Christmas to drop in to one of their holiday scheduled classes and was so grateful Erica came - and then I was the only one registered for class and she stuck it out with me. Thank you guys so much for accommodating me! I love dropping into CCB when I’m in town!
. 3 x 10 deadlift at 65%
I’m calling the WOD “Francine” as a longer version of Fran. It is actually 19.5 (I think…)
. My version of Francine:
. 21-15-12-9-6 @ 65# (33-27-21-15-9 Rx - 65#)
. Thrusters
. Pull ups
I was so close to not going because I saw the workout. And then I was the only one there! And yet… I’m so glad I showed up. Even if it sucked. It sucked so bad. Thanks Erica and CrossFit Carolina Beach for being there for me this week!”

The workouts and super fun and challenging (in a good way), and I love that they change every single day so it never gets boring.It is the only gym/workout I have been able to be consistent in and my favorite part is that there are no class times and I can workout whenever it’s convenient for me - so I have been going 5-6x/week.The owners and the trainers are absolutely amazing as well. They hold me accountable and keep me motivated. I am also now in the best shape of my life and stronger than ever!! Again, highly recommend!!!”

Every single person I have bumped into has been kind and welcoming, the instructors are all knowledgeable not only in their specialties but also in their ability to teach to each athlete in the way that they best learn. The gym is clean, spacious, and filled to the brim with great coaches and athletes.”

“I started going to Fitness Together in NBPT three years ago when I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. The trainers worked with me to design a program to increase my bone mass and overall fitness. My doctor has been amazed at the results. Special shout out to trainers Brian and Drew for their help.”
“After spending time at the beach, my friends and I couldn't change at the beach cause it was packed, so we thought maybe we ask if we could change since we're members. The young lady was so sweet and said that we could. Very appreciative of the worker.”
“I've had a gym membership for the last 2 years that I've never used because the weight area overwhelmed and intimidated me. Sooo many machines and so many people knowing exactly what they needed to get done and then there was me... not wanting to get sucked into a contract with a personal trainer that I didn't know/like and also not wanting to only do cardio - I discovered PEAK. I am obsessed with their group workouts but I've seen them do their 1:1 coaching too and will hopefully get there one day. Cancel the big gym, come here instead. 10/10 would recommend.”

My wife and I joined this gym as complete CF newbies about 2 years ago when we first moved to Wilmington and it has been one of the best decisions we've made.

“A small gym with big BOXING. The coaching staff are professional and very welcoming. My son is a competitive boxer. As a mom, I not only wanted a gym that can train/coach him but genuinely cares about his growth. Coach Les and all of the coaches are amazing. For them it's about the athletes and the love of the sport.”
“I attend Monika’s barre class on Tuesdays and define class on Thursdays. She always makes the classes challenging and fun. She is always adding new and effective exercises. She is the best instructor!!!!”
