CrossFit Ironside has been a fantastic experience for me. The structure, programming, and coaching has pushed me to improve my physical performance in a challenging but safe way. I have had my share of previous injuries from weightlifting and CrossFit style workouts in the past, but I feel that this gym is operated in such a way that encourages people to move better and prevent injury.
Personally, I have seen improvements to my conditioning, mobility, and functional strength. I have recently outperformed my personal best physical fitness test required for work, and feel ready to meet any physical demands thrown my way.

Signing my 13 year old son up for CrossFit classes at Ironside was one of the best decisions we’ve made. As a parent, I wanted him to be ready and conditioned for fall football.
Daniel, Melissa, and the other coaches are phenomenal: knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly motivating. They taught him proper form, encouraged him every step of the way, and identified areas of weakness to work on. In just a few months, he lost 21 pounds of body fat and gained 8 pounds of muscle, which speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the program.

I’ve had such a great experience at Ironside. When joining I was new to weight lifting and didn’t know where to start.
They have a good on-ramp program which made me comfortable and confident in my fitness goals and needs.
The nutrition program was personalized, supportive, and easy to follow. One of the biggest reasons the nutrition program at Ironside worked so well for me was the accountability. I had regular check-ins that helped me stay on track, and knowing someone was following up with me kept me motivated to stick with my goals. I felt genuinely cared for and motivated every step of the way. On top of that, the community is amazing—encouraging, friendly, and fun. I highly recommend Ironside to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness goals.

Before joining I had recently hurt my knee on the Appalachian Trail after a 22mi backpacking trip. Was hurting for over 5-8mths. So I decided to join Ironside. I started out doing 1:1 training with Daniel back in Jan in hopes to get back out on the trail by late Spring. Found out I was in even worse shape than I'd thought. Primarily low cardio energy from sitting at a desk all day. So, we made a plan, set goals, and got to work. He and all of the Ironside staff/athletes know what they are doing and are great listeners, passionate about helping you achieve your goals and encouraging you to get you where you need to be. Happy to report that I recently got in another 22+ mi backpacking trip without any knee or other injury!!! My body feels stronger than ever. I still got a ways to go, but continuing to stick to our plan. Aiming for walking on my hands and the ability to do pistol squats!! Now I'm getting into the group classes. Such an amazing group of dedicated folks pushing one another. So glad to be apart of Ironside!!!

I can’t say enough about Ironside CrossFit! I feel like my own routine I had been using for 30 years was loosing momentum and I was just going through the motion's in my workout. My body is now stronger than ever and my back and knees are no longer weakness' like they have been in the past. I’m so thankful. What a blessing!

I've been just over 3 months into my CrossFit journey wanted to shout out Daniel Anguiz and Melissa Anguiz, along with their entire coaching staff on the experience so far. It has been an extremely welcoming environment with people of all ages, shapes, and athletic abilities and the team goes out of their way to be sure that everyone is educated and appropriately supported to get the best of themselves.
I really enjoy knowing that I'm working on being the strongest version of myself at this time and continually preparing to take on life as I get older. And that's one thing I was not expecting... a lot of the members are not too far off from my age and its incredible seeing everyone work hard, support each other, and celebrate the wins along the way

I joined Crossfit Ironside in November’24, went through the onboarding process, where I learned the proper and safe way to lift weights. In January, I have signed up for the nutrition challenge, and have lost 10lb in four weeks! I have reset my eating and exercise habits with the guidance from Melissa and Daniel - the owners of the gym.
My body and mind are stronger and healthier.
If you’re looking for a gym, you will find wonderful coaches, welcoming and supportive environment at CrossFit Ironside.

I took a 6 year hiatus from Crossfit, and researched a few boxes before I took a chance on Ironside when I was ready to come back. It has been such a positive experience that I could not have done on my own. Daniel and Melissa are great owners, and really strive to get members to be consistent in their attendance so they can see the positive results in their progressions. My 90 day check-in has been helpful, working on my particular deficiencies that I needed assistance with. Rope climbs have improved significantly with the last check-in with Daniel. Also, I'm generally a shy guy, but the coaches and community have been very friendly every time I attend class. Thanks Ironside!

As a new member of the CrossFit community, Ironside helped me to build confidence in my lifts all while having a fun time in the 6:00 am class. Even though I was only able to stay for a few months prior to my move, the community here welcomed me with open arms and I formed new friendships immediately. I strongly recommend this gym for anyone looking to start out or for those who have experience and are looking for accountability partners to help go along on the journey with you.

For me, the personal training sessions at Ironside were key to learning certain movements like the Olympic lifts, the overhead squat or even dialing in double unders. Having a coach fine tune proper set up position and overall technique was extremely beneficial!

I can’t say enough good things about Ironside and the coaches and community. The on ramp process really helped get me ready for group classes and gave me the confidence to do the exercises on my own. Daniel and Melissa gave a lot of specific 1:1 attention to prevent injury and make sure the correct technique was demonstrated before moving on. It was also well structured and thoughtfully planned out at a good pace, and stretched out over 4 weeks so I could adapt at a reasonable pace. The coaches still give me feedback in group classes which is always welcomed and helps the continual improvement process.
The other thing I didn’t expect was how welcoming and genuinely awesome the community is. People make you feel right at home and support each other hitting goals which just makes going to the gym fun. Thank you!!!
