I have been doing CrossFit for 12 years and decided to become a member of CrossFit Lumberton about 2 years ago. The facility itself is extremely well equipped with plenty of room to workout without bumping into other people. The owners look for ways to enable more individuals to participate, buying specialty equipment such as a safety squat bar for those of us who have shoulder problems. They care about the members and after a couple of workouts and spending a little time there, it shows.
Perhaps the most important aspect of CrossFit Lumberton is the coaches. They are extremely professional and definitely know what they are doing. They keep an eye on everyone to make sure correct technique is used. Good technique is the way to stay away from injuries - I have had no injuries in 12 years and I am now in my early 70's (did I mention anyone can do a scaled CrossFit workout?). Good coaches and a little common sense can do the same thing for you.

Read moreI started in November 2023 to gain accountability and increase a healthy lifestyle. I am thankful I was able to find it here in the past 2 months and I plan to continue with CrossFit Lumberton in the 2024 year. Positives: Coaching and workout layout/explanation is consistent, workouts are available and accessible in advance, app used for the gym workouts and attendance is easy to use, all workouts can be scaled and adjusted as needed, all levels of athletes are present at the gym, the class comradery is fun and encouraging, several class times available, 24-hour access if unable to attend a class time. HIGHLY recommended for those looking for a gym with class times, accountability, and needing motivation to just do a workout. Suggestions to the gym to improve providing demonstrations of scaled options more consistently for movements to adjust to the before beginner level and special populations: pre-injury, recovering injury, pregnant, and or returning athlete who were out for any reason. However, most coaches are approachable and are welcoming to make these adjustments when asked. Can't wait to meet new members and share the positive life...
Read moreAn awesome place to make positive life changes,
January 4th 2024 will be a year at CFL and what a journey its has been.
I soon realized why people get addicted to killing yourself day in and day out. Its the PEOPLE! Everyone is very inviting and encouraging in their own way. The coaching talent is top notch and very knowledgeable from Travis, Alisha, Sean, Amy, Devon, Kristen, JR and others. They continuously bring new and excited programing to compete in the games of life.
The well-maintained equipment and efficient management, even during larger classes, speak volumes about CFL's dedication to providing a conducive environment for fitness enthusiasts at all levels.
I look forward to continuing my health journey, increasing my PRs and building "life" strength into 2024 and beyond with CFL being part of it.
Before and After....
