Detailed review: It’s a shame I haven’t yet written a review for this place in 6 months. Usually with restaurants and such you can write a review on your first or second visit, but with gyms you always want to wait a month or so before you can judge entirely. I used to be someone who hated working out in groups, felt uncomfortable or overwhelmed at big gyms so most always worked out by myself at my apartment complex gym. But I reached a point where I was tired of looking at videos and figuring out a movement or not knowing if I’m doing something right and around that time I stumbled upon Forest Drive Crossfit. This box is not a place where you would feel overwhelmed, coz there won’t be more than 10 people at every class. Which means personal attention from your coach! Which to me is extremely important, coz what’s the point in doing something wrong and not being corrected, or not knowing there is room for improvement. Coach Marc Sanger is very attentive, extremely detail oriented and is not all about just higher weights on your barbell. He is all about form, technique, hand/leg position while doing a movement – it’s not just how much weight can you lift, or how fast can you do a workout.

Amazing Community - Fantastic Coaches - Challenging Workouts (this is Cottontown CrossFit!)

I was very hesitant to join a CrossFit gym - I was afraid that it'd feel awkward since I didn't have a background in extreme fitness or really know a lot about weight training.

My first introduction to CrossFit was when I joined Forest Drove CrossFit. I was trembling and terrified. I remember being embarrassed because I couldn’t do a push-up. Fast forward to a year later, it’s the only fitness regime I’ll ever consider. I tried all the other ones and nothing stuck. Forest Drice CrossFit has been life-changing. The coach, Marc, is passionate, patient, encouraging, motivating, etc. Insert any positive adjective for a coach and he exudes it. He truly cares about each member of our gym. Simply put, he is the best coach and this is the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. (It is the only one but it’s still true). FDCF gave me life....
