I want to say I HATE CrossFit Cleveland - mostly owner Staci. I hate that she FORCED me to exercise and completely change my eating habits that has, quite literally, forever transformed my body, mind, and spirit!! CrossFit Cleveland has saved my life!!! I am 58, overweight and have heart disease. I joined their Executive program almost 2!!! years ago. I could not do a sit-up, a step-up, or really much of anything. Staci, through her Nutritional Mentor program, and Bill through his tremendous coaching skills, grabbed me - kicking and screaming - and guided (pulled) me through my transformation. I was not (am not) easy and Staci and I have had many crying sessions along the way, however, with her 1:1 coaching, texts, "motherly" nudging, recipe exchanges, food tours, cooking demonstrations... I find myself looking forward (most of the time) to my classes AND meal prep is now just part of my life routine. If I can do this... ANYONE CAN!!! I have lost weight and inches, my legs look great and I genuinely feel good for the first time in my life. So... I don't hate CrossFit Cleveland, I LOVE them and I love every member of that gym as we are all down to earth, welcoming people who come together to encourage each other. I LOVE CrossFit Cleveland for being part of my life and helping me to be the very best me...
Read moreI’ve been a member of CrossFit Cleveland in Rocky River, Ohio since August of last year. Most people get intimidated when they hear the words CrossFit gym. It’s not what you think! I can honestly say it’s been a game changer for my fitness journey! The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help me scale workouts to my level. Since joining, I have noticed a huge difference in my strength and overall fitness. The key take away for me has been the importance of consistency and taking baby steps towards my goals. Even when progress feels slow and I don’t see the difference right away, I’ve learned to trust the process and celebrate small victories along the way, especially when I hit a personal record! But the benefits haven’t stopped just in physical strength. My cholesterol levels have significantly dropped since I started working out every morning, Monday through Friday! It’s amazing to see the impact that regular exercise has had on my overall health. If you’re looking for a supportive community, expert coaching, and a workout routine that will challenge and transform you, look no further than Crossfit Cleveland. I’m so grateful to have found this gym that’s so close to home and can’t wait to see continued progress in the months and years to come!...
Read moreWhile I was very apprehensive at first, working with Staci as my Nutrition and Accountability Coach has been the best decision I have made this year! From the very first meeting, I felt understood, encouraged, challenged, and supported.
Working with Staci has helped me to improve my sleep, to return to making delicious meals, and to have strategies in place when my normal response to stress was to turn to food. In just 10 weeks, I lost 20 pounds, 2 inches around my waist, and 2 inches around my hips. But even more than the weight and inches, I feel so much better, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally!
Staci has helped me to be more aware of the little victories every day and to notice the changes that are happening from being consistent, not perfect . She has helped me to start changing my mindset, so that reaching my long-term goals are just a part of an overall transformation to a lifestyle of healthy eating, movement, and living!
I have done many programs before, but I can say that the difference in this program is the one-on-one support, expertise, patience, knowledge, authenticity, and encouragement that Staci constantly provides. I would HIGHLY recommend...
