I started Union City CrossFit in June, completely out of shape with no prior experience. I was nervous and intimidated when I walked into my first class and saw that the majority of the people there looked experienced. Those feelings disappeared as soon as Nadine, one of the owners and coaches, greeted me. She coached me throughout the class with so much patience and kindness. That week I took classes with Nick and Demetrius, the other owners of the gym, and they were just as kind, patient and encouraging. The members of the gym were also very welcoming. One member told me “Don’t be nervous. We all had a first day.” Four months later and I’m in the best shape of my life at age 35. Prior to joining, I had tried just about everything - the peloton, at home workouts, going to a gym - but nothing stuck. I’d get bored. That all changed at UC CrossFit. I wake up to my alarm with excitement to attend the classes. Union City CrossFit is a tight knit, inclusive family where you will always feel welcome. I HIGHLY recommend it! I’m so happy I joined this family. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Thank you to the coaches - Nadine, Nick and Demetrius - for always believing in me and pushing me to...
Read moreWow—what an experience! I dropped in for a class with my family and friends while visiting from out of town, and it was absolutely spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine hospitality, given a tour of the facility, and a clear rundown of the WOD. The owner, Demetrius, even came over to personally introduce himself and chat with us, which made the experience feel even more welcoming. We even had a first-time CrossFitter in our group, and he had a blast!
The facility itself looks so cool—very aesthetically pleasing with clean, neutral colors that make the space feel fresh and motivating. The equipment is top-notch and so well maintained. I’ve been to quite a few CrossFit facilities now, and this one has to be one of my favorites of all time. The energy in the room was incredible—there are some seriously fit athletes here who motivate you to keep pushing, even when you’re exhausted (in the best way!). We had such a great time that we’re already planning to come back tomorrow...
Read moreAs a competitive weightlifter and strength and conditioning specialist, UCC is one of the gyms to absolutely be at. The facility is the cleanest you’ll ever see, equipped with higher end equipment not cheap so you know you’re getting quality. From a professional standpoint, the coaches are super personable and more than willing to put in the time and effort to help their clients achieve their goals and push them to the next level. As someone who regularly programs for clients within my field and for myself, its great to know the coaches here have years of experience and meticulously program for their clientele to progressively overload them through both the strength and endurance realm while prescribing necessary accessory exercises to ensure longevity within CrossFit. I would 11/10 recommend this gym to anyone...
