I am really enjoying the experience and coaching team at the gym I am exceeding my expectations in several ways
The CrossFit Gym is well run. It is inviting to visit. Nice holiday decorations.
As a person who is 62, I wasn't sure I could keep up with the group and found I am in better shape than I thought and I am getting stronger every week. I have never been a member of a gym like Crossfit. In the past, it was all about the machines, not a group learning and lifting barbells and other practical ways of exercising. The group workout is fun and I am getting fit with new friends.
The Coaches are very supportive. I was a little concerned about looking foolish as I learn something new while in a group watching but I am getting over that.
I like the "scaling" approach which helps new members gain strength and confidence at their own pace. I like the music to help make the workout fun
The TV screens with the working plan for the day help me keep track of all the crazy workouts - LOL. The workouts are nicely varied so it's not the same thing every time
I appreciate how the coaches explain the movements before we do them so that we understand what to do, what equipment will be needed, and avoid potential injury.
The members are my type of people, friendly, committed yet not overly competitive.
The 12 days of Christmas workout was a fun time! My daughter Amanda and I attended the 10 AM session. I think that was the highlight of my good experience so far. It was intense and fun and such a popular event at the gym. Thanks for the mimosa after the workout and...
Read moreI joined CrossFit Petram in January of 2020. I’ve always regularly worked out, but had been reluctant to sign up at a CrossFit gym as there are definitely quite a few (hugely incorrect) perceptions about CrossFit. I was convinced that I wasn’t strong enough, that I would injure myself, and I thought that there was no possible way I could keep up with other members.
My only huge regret now is that I didn’t step foot inside the gym years ago. What I found immediately was a close knit gym community. A community who lifts each other up and who constantly encourages each other. I’ve found so many friends who truly enjoy fitness to the degree I always have. I’ve found Coaches who truly have the best interests of their athletes in mind and who truly care about the development and onward progression of their athletes. I discovered that all workouts can be modified, scaled, or otherwise adapted to best suit ones physical abilities.
I’ve never been happier, have never been more fit, and have never felt more at home than I have at Petram. That first step inside the gym might be daunting but every step after that is assuredly the best steps you will ever take in improving your overall fitness and will certainly change your life...
Read moreSo for years I swore that I would never sign up, or even walk into a Crossfit Gym. I didn't know anything about Crossfit just judged a book by its cover. Saying that Crossfit Petram was having a six week challenge and thought I'd stop in.
I was welcomed by the owner Chris as soon as I walked in. After talking with him I decided to sign up for the six month trial. That will be ending in August. But you can bet I will sign up for the year and more now. Every coach there is as friendly and helpful as Chris was. Breaking down the basics so you don't get hurt and stretching out before and afterwards. For the ten years I went to the regular gym I never stretched. And I'm not talking down on regular gyms. I loved going there for over ten years. But when your looking for something different. A community of like minded people helping to push each other to Personal Goals do yourself a favor and stop by here. You can even bring the kids. This is a family friendly place that also does events about once a month. From BBQ to...
