Starting out as a complete newbie to the CrossFit world I initially decided on Grand Mesa CrossFit because they offered a free week. I mean who can pass up on a free week to see if it’s a good fit and to really establish a good starting point? None-the-less I still remember sitting in my car outside on my very first day feeling super nervous and intimidated questioning if I made the right call, if I could even do it, or what a CrossFit workout even really consisted of. I’m happy to say I will never forget that day, it’s a decision I honestly will never regret.
It ends up not everything is as it seems. The coaches and members consisted of everyday people just like me from all walks of life and a wide array of fitness levels. However, they were all super friendly, welcoming, and all seemed to have the same objective; to progress in their own personal fitness journeys.
After your first free week you get to participate in something called “roots foundational classes.” Here, you’ll establish a solid foundation while learning the basics and focus on proper techniques. Before you know it, you’ll be back in the mix with the regular classes, but the learning doesn’t stop here. The coaches at Grand Mesa really care about their members. They are attentive to your goals, are happy to answer your questions, work to continually build healthy habits, and understand that you may not be able to do all the movements. Have no fear, there are modifiers for everything to accommodate any skill level.
Remember, we all start out as beginners no matter our fitness backgrounds or lack thereof. It’s about being better than you were yesterday, your only competition is you. You find yourself wanting to improve and you have fun doing it. If that’s not captivating enough, the culture is amazing too. COME FOR THE WORKOUTS, STAY FOR THE MEMBERS! My only regret is I didn’t...

May be All the trainers at GMCF are good athletes but only few were good coach’s.
What good is a class when you can’t hear what a coach is explaining in the start/during a class. It’s like watching an action movie on mute!!! I strongly suggest them to have an audio mic system for this.
I tried to communicate these concerns with many coaches and the owner, it looks like owner doesn’t care our concerns.
I attended whitetail first for few months and continued into grand mesa after the merger. Whitetail was a great place and overall I rate them 4.0/5
FYI, due to my travel job I had an opportunity to attend 11 CrossFit places in 8 years and I would never...
Read moreGreat gym and people. The adult and kids classes have been great. I really enjoy this community and it is probably the best gym in Leander/Liberty Hill. My kids look forward to 4:30pm on Tuesday/Thursday. I enjoy the start of my 5:15am class with the early wake up crew. The owner really cares about each individual member, their goals, feedback, and experience. She makes sure everyone has a great experience in her gym and are treated with dignity and respect. I am grateful to have found a community that fits my family’s needs.
Note: I have not tried any of the gyms in Liberty Hill. I am sure they are just as great. Grand Mesa is the only gym in the area that offers a kids and teen program. That influenced my decision and I don’t regret it one bit. Additionally, the member...
