Back in 2019 I walked into CrossFit Santa Barbara and been there ever since. The head coach at the time welcomed me in and I started my CrossFit experience. Since then the gym has gone through several moves and an ownership change but I've stuck with them. Why do you ask?
The current owners, much like the past, and coaching staff have put an emphasis on developing proficient technique in all areas of CrossFit programming to ensure the best experience for each member. In every class each member gets attention needed even in group settings. CFSB also offers a Sunday skills class so members can work on specific skills needed to progress in the level of CrossFit they choose to pursue.
Personally, CFSB has helped me develop into a better athlete and helped prepare me to compete in Spartan Races throughout the last couple of years. This includes the 2021 Spartan Stadium Series.
If you're new to CrossFit, CFSB offers a foundations training program to get you versed and familiar with the movements. If you've had CrossFit experience you can jump right in to classes.
Not only does CFSB look to help the members in their pursuit of fitness but are involved in the local community with charity fundraising events.
CrossFit Santa Barbara is by far the best facility I have trained at, from the coaching staff to the community of members and atmosphere this place is top notch. This box has produced a games athlete, regional athlete as well as athletes that compete in local events. Many members also use the CFSB programming for general fitness as well.
The disclaimer to all of this is that since starting up at CFSB, I have also gone and taken my L-1 and become a coach as well and continued my growth as a strength coach. That being said, I guarantee the owners and staff will do our best to give you the best CrossFit experience you can have each and everyday.
If you're looking for a CrossFit box or even just a place to workout come check out CFSB!!! We are a close community but there's always room for more so come...
Read moreI've been coming to CFSB for a little over two years now and I've loved every single day of it. The coaching staff is great, about 95% of the equipment is brand spanking new (barbells, rowers, weights, assault bikes, wall balls, etc.), and the community is awesome.
The workouts keep you on your toes, and just when you think you've mastered something, the coaches hit you with a WOD that comes in and kicks your butt and puts you back in your place humbly. And that's what I love about crossfit. I'm constantly being challenged by the workouts and there's a positive sense of competition between all the members. Everyone pushes everyone else to do their absolute best, while still having a good time, not taking life or the workouts too too seriously.
10/10. I would recommend this BOX to anyone looking to start with crossfit, if you've been crossfitting for a while and are looking to keep making gains in SB, or if you're dropping in from out of town. And there's also the free community class on Saturday too.
All in all, a great experience communally...
Read moreI’ve joined CrossFit Santa Barbara 2 years ago in my early thirties. This is one of the best decisions I have made in my life!! I had never been in better shape. The chronic lower back pain I took as an integral part of being a tall guy with scoliosis has entirely disappeared. I feel fantastic and full of energy. I’ve even grown muscles where there were none.
The mood in the gym is very chill, supportive, with lots of camaraderie. I cannot stress enough how important this was for me when I joined. I was in a lifetime out of shape state who felt inadequate and not belonging to the world of healthy people. Having caring, knowledgeable coaches and awesome, friendly people around to encourage you has played such an important role for me to stick to it. I’ve had several tries at different sports and ended up abandoning them all for one reason or another.
I recommend coming here to people of all ages and fitness, as they...
