CrossFit HTS Carrboro — Local services in Carrboro

Finding CrossFit HTS has, without a doubt, been the single most important change I've made to improve my health in my adult life.

Figuring out fitness as an adult is so hard. Juggling work, kids, friends and life while trying to hold back the increasingly apparent and detrimental effects of aging on one's overall health is a tremendous amount to manage. It's all about getting the most return on your time investment.

I've tried everything over the years: running, biking, swimming, triathlons, spartan races, yoga, Orange Theory, F3...you name it. I enjoyed all of those things, but nothing, absolutely nothing comes anywhere close to the return on time invested I've experienced with Yani & her team at CrossFit HTS. I know that if I show up 3 times a week, I'll be getting in increasingly better shape instead of increasingly worse shape. I simply cannot believe the gains I've had over the past two years, and all I've had to do is walk in the door--they take care of the rest.

I only joined because a friend suggested it. I would have never considered joining a CrossFIt studio because I had an image of a bunch of over-amped dudes throwing weights around and yelling. This is not at all the case. Yani and her coaches set an incredible, welcoming, FUN, and wholly inclusive tone. I'd never done CrossFit before or really ever lifted weights. I pretty much knew nothing. They taught me everything. The specific care and attention they give each person feels almost like one on one instruction. Health and lack of injury is their number one priority, and they deliver. Since I joined as a novice, I've watched countless other men and women join and thrive at all levels of age, ability, and fitness levels.

The greatest testament to the long-term health benefits of CrossFit are the people in there who are in their 50's, 60's, and 70's who are all (yes, even the 70+ year olds) doing things I couldn't imagine doing in my 30's. I'm regularly surrounded by everything from teenagers through to septuagenarians in the gym. They are all an incredible inspiration to me. Seriously, y'all--watching a 71 year old do handstand pushups with ease will make you find that next gear in whatever exercise you're currently working on.

Above all else, this is a COMMUNITY. A welcoming, caring, expert, and fun community. They couldn't make fitness easier, more approachable, more fun, or--most...

From my first step into this new CrossFit gym, I knew it was an experience above and beyond the norm. The coaches here are of an extraordinary caliber, demonstrating not just exceptional technical proficiency but also a commendable talent for teaching. Their ability to inspire, guide, and motivate every member, regardless of skill level, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

The diverse array of experience amongst the members lends an enriching dimension to every workout, creating a unique blend of learning and camaraderie. There’s an unmistakable spirit of inclusivity that permeates the gym; everyone is welcomed with open arms, making it a place where fitness goals are pursued and achieved together.

Yani, the owner (and a coach), truly sets the tone for this outstanding culture. Her authentic care for each member, constant motivation, and commitment to nurturing a positive, supportive environment is indeed admirable. It’s clear they’re not just running a gym - they’re building a community.

I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone, regardless of whether you’re a CrossFit veteran or a novice. The skilled coaching, warm community, and incredible owner make it a place where you will not only find your strength, but also a...

As someone brand new to CrossFit and lifting, I was a bit worried at first that I would not be able to perform the moves or be welcomed. That went away in the first 2 mins of walking into the gym. Everyone made me feel extremely welcomed. The coaches are fantastic. Each coach understood that I was brand new to this type of training and took extra time with me to learn, modify and scale. I've been able to do every work out thanks to their professionalism and kindness. By the second class, I knew I had found 'home' and signed up as quick as I could. I can't think of a single time I have woken up and thought "heck yeah time to go work out" but that is what this place does. I am not only excited to do the work out and grow, but also to work out with everyone. The entire community has gone out of their way to not only introduce themselves but to also make me feel like I belong. If you are looking for a new gym, even if you have never done anything like the sport of CrossFit, this is the...
