CrossFit Pushin Weight — Local services in Midlothian

I joined CrossFit Pushin Weight a little over 6 months ago. Prior to joining CFPW8 I had heard of CrossFit but had only a surface level understanding of what it was all about. That said, I feel very lucky to have found CFPW8 and have not looked back. While it was a bit daunting starting CrossFit, I felt welcomed from my first fundamental's session with coach Tyler thru to my first group workout. The coaches are very knowledgeable and supportive in helping new members like me learn the ropes and scale classes and workouts based on fitness and skill level, with a consistent emphasis on safety of the athlete - first and foremost in every class. The workouts are demanding for sure, but never do I feel pushed so much as to put my health and safety at risk. Fellow members/athletes are super helpful, very down to earth and supportive of each other which is a big reason why I look forward coming in for classes 4-5 times a week since joining 6 months ago. I have a sense of accountability to my coaches, fellow athletes and myself by being part of the CFPW8 family, which keeps me motivated to stay on track with my fitness, health and training goals. Lastly and most importantly, I can honestly say that being a part of the CrossFit Pushin Weight family has been life changing, with benefits not only for my health and fitness, but also in helping me achieve success outside of the gym by applying the same mindset to my personal and professional life as well. No matter what your age, level of fitness or prior experience with CrossFit, I can personally attest that you will not regret becoming a...

Joined this gym a little over 2 years ago and it was one of my best decisions. I joined not because it was a CrossFit gym but simply because it was right next to my office and it was convenient. They also had a shower so I could go before work. It was just a gym for me when I first started, but then I got to know everyone and soon it became one of the best parts of my day. The cool thing is the staff actually gets to know your name when you join so there’s never any awkward introductions. The workouts were always challenging and the coaches were always on you to keep good form. I had a very busy work schedule so I was usually a little late but the coaches worked with me to get me up to speed for the workout. This happened almost on a daily basis. What was surprising to me was how well the place was run. The coaches and staff treat this place like it’s their own home. They kept this place so clean even before COVID. They also crushed it on their response to COVID. At first they had to shut down but when they reopened they did it perfectly. They shrunk the class size and made everyone sanitize everything after it was touched. As COVID went on they never stopped their strict process of cleaning. The people that run this gym are absolutely some of the greatest people you will meet. They constantly make charity/community apart of their life. Please do yourself a favor and go check...

I’m grateful for Emine Sakrisson for all the tough love she gives me. Without it, there’ve been numerous workouts I don’t think I would’ve been able to finish. For Emily Wright Wolfram for being a cheerleader and a “let me break this down so you actually understand this” because my brain just doesn’t get it sometimes....(or most of the time) 😂. For Kara Silva for the daily reminders that the world is a beautiful place and that it’s all going to be ok. For Tyler Cox for the doses of death that make me a stronger and healthier version of me. For Ashley Stevenson Jenkins for the constant encouragement and compliments ❤️ when I need them the most. “Come on you beat cancer! You can finish this run! Now let’s go!!!!!!” For Taylor Rene Koontz for the push and never letting me slack. For Shannon Underwood for the nutrition and life advice! For Danny Welsch for being a daily dose of sunshine! For Mike Echevarria for the “fun” metcons that force me to get better at all my weak stuff. And I’m thankful for this gym and all its amazing members and the friendships that I’ve made...
