“Update after exactly 1 year in: This gym continues to blow me away for the next two reasons:
1. Not only have I PR’d in every lift (thanks Roxy and James!) over the last year, but I’ve also:
Got my first:
- Kipping pull up
- strict pull up
- chest to bar
- double under
- kipping hand stand push up
- 24 inch box jump
After a year, we had to make the very tough decision to leave and it’s so hard to say goodbye to our family and friends at this box.
2. My husband and I have truly became CrossFit athletes at this box, and we know we will always have a home at OP. Di, Jim, James, Sarah, Justin, Amanda, Chas, Ashley(s), Roxy, Bomba, David, Jess, Corey, Sean, Sandi, and the rest of the team - Thank you for your mentoring and coaching over the past year. We have grown so much because of you guys and you got us through some of the hardest times .. and the best times! ❤️
This team is TOP KNOTCH. If you’re on this page, just give them a shot and you’ll see why ??
10 months in: After a less than favorable experience at our previous CrossFit gym in Hampton, my husband and I were hesitant to step into another box. CrossFit Oyster Point completely transformed our outlook, not only restoring our faith in the sport but also redefining what a fitness community should feel like. A huge part of our positive experience comes from the incredible warmth and leadership of the owners, Dianne (Di) and Jim Koske. From day one, they welcomed us with open arms, taking the time to listen to our concerns and making us feel at home. Their genuine care for every member is evident in every interaction—they go above and beyond to create a safe, supportive, and uplifting environment.
The coaches, handpicked by Di and Jim are also exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and deeply invested in each member’s success. They ensure workouts are tailored to your fitness level while still challenging you to grow. Safety and form are prioritized, which was a refreshing change for us. The community at CrossFit Oyster Point is another highlight. Di and Jim have cultivated a space where camaraderie thrives, and every member feels valued. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to CrossFit, you’re embraced as part of the family. The positivity and encouragement here are infectious, creating a space where we look forward to every workout. Beyond workouts, this box prioritizes the community aspect of CrossFit; there is always a fun event to look forward to or a chance give back to the community.
CrossFit Oyster Point has set the gold standard for what CrossFit can and should be. Di and Jim’s passion, kindness, and dedication to their members make this gym truly special. If you’re looking for a place that emphasizes health, community, and personal growth, look no further! Thank you, Di and Jim, for creating a gym that feels like home for my husband and I. You’ve reignited our love for CrossFit, and we are so grateful for the positive impact you’ve had on lives and so many others in our community.”

“Very positive, encouraging, communal atmosphere. The workouts are intense but not overwhelmingly so. The trainers care about you! Love this place because of the PEOPLE!”
“I retired and was looking for a gym that told me what exercises to do. CrossFit Ft Monroe is just the place. From day one they’ve been very inviting and the coaches have modified exercises for me due to a bum shoulder. I’m getting stronger and slimming down at age 61, so if I can do it you can to. Before joining I was a CrossFit sceptic. Chelsea takes the time to make sure you are doing what works for you. Joining was the best decision I’ve made in a long time! I rather be the oldest person in the gym instead of the youngest person at the retirement home. Investing in yourself is the best thing you can do for you and your family.”
“I have been with CrossFit Hampton Roads for over 16 years! Love the classes, the community, and really appreciate the excellent instruction from the coaches. This is a quality gym; you will not regret giving it a try!”
“Jermaine at One Life Fitness is awesome. He’s always super friendly and welcoming every time I come in, and he really sets the tone for a positive gym environment. You can tell he actually cares about the members and goes out of his way to help whenever needed.
Whether it’s answering questions, checking people in quickly, or just having a good attitude, he makes the experience way better. Definitely one of the reasons I enjoy coming to this location!”

“The pool facility is decent but what really sets this location apart is the swim instructors!! Miss Debra and Miss Lillian are fantastic!! They are so good with the kids, very patient, and you can tell how much they care!! My very timid, easily overstimulated by water son has made so much progress thanks to their instruction!! And my daughter asks every day is it’s a swim day - it’s become one of her favorite things!! We plan to keep coming back!!”

“Transcendence is so much more than just an aerial gym to me, and my instructor, Ashley, is so much more than just a teacher. She is an inspiration, a mentor, a true friend, and an unwavering cheerleader.
Starting something as new and daunting as aerial silks as an adult was intimidating, but Ashley never hesitated to share her own journey of starting the sport later in life. Her perspective gave me the confidence to push through when things got tough (and let’s be honest, silks can be very hard!).
As a fellow educator, I deeply admire how flawlessly Ashley differentiates her instruction. She effortlessly scales exercises—making them more challenging for those who need a push, and more accessible for those who need extra support. She has a magnificent way of breaking down complex combinations and poses so every learning type can grasp them. Whether a student needs to hands-on practice or needs to intellectualize the movement first, Ashley recognizes and accommodates those needs.
Safety is always the top priority here. Every instructor ensures we know how to navigate situations safely and reminds us to always listen to our bodies. It has also been incredible watching Paizley transition from observing classes to becoming an instructor herself. She is incredibly sweet and always willing to demonstrate a move as many times (or as slowly) as it takes for the breakdown to click.
The entire staff at Transcendence is exceptionally knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about aerial silks”
“Always have friendly service and delicious smoothies, perfect for post workout. They give out samples every now and then and the “I Love Veggies” is amazing! Definitely recommend”

“I was so nervous to join a gym, and my friend recommended this one. Everyone is friendly and supportive. It may be small, but for those who are shy, it is the perfect place with the best people. There is a lot of equipment and even private classes you can join. My favorite is playing Wall Ball in the mornings!
You can even get 24-hour access if you are on 2nd or 3rd shift!”

“I truly appreciated the professionalism during our first meeting. We’re so fortunate to have the opportunity for our son to train with Coach Sean, and I’m excited to see his progress in the months ahead. If you have a child involved in sports, I highly recommend looking into this program.”

“Best CrossFit, functional fitness, high-intensity gym in the area. I have hit PRs in all my power lifts, Olympic lifts, unbroken gymnastic movements, and everything in between even after 15 years of training. Enough about me; let me share what I have seen in this gym. If this sounds like you or falls somewhere in between, then stop by and see for yourself.Athletes aged 4 to 84, from never having touched a weight to experienced CrossFitters. I have seen athletes get their first pull-up, box jump, muscle-up, to athletes getting their 10th unbroken muscle-up, and hitting lifetime PRs in power and Olympic lifting. Athletes come here and pass firefighter, police, and military fitness tests. Athletes come for prehab and rehab from various surgeries. Adaptive athletes train next to everyone. Athletes up to nine months pregnant and just after birth train here. Coaches hold newborns so new parents can still train. Children hang out together in the kids' room while parents focus on themselves for 1 hour of their busy day. The coaches do the same program as the members and participate in class workouts. High school and collegiate athletes train here in the offseason. Coaches provide nutritional counseling and meal prepping for interested athletes. Athletes typically spend 3 to 10 hours a week here; just show up and commit to 1 hour at a time, you will not be disappointed. The athletes are part of a family and hang out together, seek advice/recommendations, and hold each other accountable.If you want to hit PRs, become a better athlete, or jump-start your health and fitness journey, then stop by and see if it’s a good fit.”
