I am a 44 year old man. CrossFit wasn't around when I was younger. If you are a manly man and you wanted to get in shape you went to the gym and you ran on a treadmill, you did bench presses and curls and if you are a weird one maybe you did some squats. I was one of those who constantly poopooed CrossFit. All I knew about CrossFit was a bunch of people screaming like morons and hanging from the ceiling. I couldn't have been more wrong. Harbor Park CrossFit has completely changed my life. And at 44 years old that is pretty significant. But Harbor Park CrossFit isn't just about getting in better physical shape. Harbor Park CrossFit is about community and family. Everybody here is around to help you succeed. Everybody is happy to see each other .... everybody cheers everyone on, everyday. A workout is it over until the last person is finished. The cost is more than you would spend at a traditional gym. But a traditional gym doesn't give you personalized coaching. They don't give you 10 different classes a day to choose from. They don't provide you with that sense of family and sense of community. I'd rather spend more and come to a gym where I know I'm getting a great workout then go to some other gym and stand around for an hour waiting for a machine to open up or stand around for an hour not knowing exactly what to do. I couldn't give a higher recommendation for Harbor Park CrossFit. I wish I had found it...
Read moreHarbor Park CrossFit is, simply put, a great place to sweat.
Located inside what once was the Peter Pirsch firetruck assembly shop, the space is urban and edgy, with exposed brick and beam. But with much care and hard work, the Harbor Park CrossFit team has covered the floor from wall to wall with rubber mats, and constructed enough rigging to keep even the biggest groups efficient and working hard.
But the star of this Harbor Park CrossFit location is the staff. Ownership and additional training staff are hands on, commanding a mastery of their programming, and are about the most welcoming bunch of individuals that I have met.
I highly recommend that you stop in to check this box out. If you're new to CrossFit, they have the programming and expertise to get you started. If you're experienced and goal oriented, they will continue to help you every step of the way. 5 stars from me!
** BONUS: I also highly recommend this gym if you're a traveling CrossFitter. Just give Jason, Dave, or Corian a call, or check out their schedule online. I know that they'd love to host you, for a day or a week.
A second location in Racine ads additional convenience.
Personally, this is the box I wish every gym was when I find myself...
Read moreI have been going to this gym since shortly after it opened. I have never been one to be self motivated when it comes to working out so I decided to try CrossFit at this gym. I have gone to multiple gyms before and signed up for expensive memberships to only have my membership card collect dust because I rarely used it. On the few occasions that I did use the other gyms I would convince myself that it was a good idea to leave after 20 minutes of being there. Harbor Park CrossFit starts new members off in the on-ramp classes to get the members familiar with warm-ups, various lift techniques and mobility to set them up for success. There is a new WOD (workout of the day) daily so you know what to expect and you do not have to try to figure out what to work on while you are there. I initially thought that CrossFit was intimidating. With all of the welcoming and friendly staff I no longer feel intimidated. The coaches at this gym are great and push you to be your best every day. There are multiple class times which work with many schedules and there are also open gym times. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a welcoming, flexible, clean and fun gym to reach your...
