I recently started at CrossFit 781 after about a year off of a structured fitness routine. I was mostly just going on walks but knew that I needed and wanted to add strength training. I had been a CrossFit member at another gym in the past so I was familiar with many elements of the program and community but again had had a long stretch off fitness and had never come to this particular gym. I chose this gym because it was close to where I live, they offer an InBody scanner and nutrition programming in addition to classes, and they had class times that worked with my schedule. So far it has been a great experience. I elected to do the nutrition coaching plus CrossFit classes. So far I have worked with Coaches Eric, Cassi, and Zach who have been very welcoming. The programming is really well done and I love that they post the whole week of workouts plus extra information like the goal of the workout, how it will help certain aspects of your fitness, how to prepare for it. I also love that several levels and scaling options are included in every workout so you can participate in class no matter what your fitness level is and get a great workout for you without trying to keep up with anyone else. The programming really meets you where you are and gives you a roadmap of things to build toward over time. As someone who is just coming back to fitness the scaling options have been key for me. Lastly, there are several classes where the class size is pretty small and it’s really nice to get so much individual attention and coaching. Having an expert to help with form, adjustments, alternatives, and scaling options is crucial to those new to or coming back to strength training. Very happy to...

Let me start by saying I hate going to the gym and I hate working out. I’m a nap-taker in life.
I joined CrossFit 781 for a 6-week women’s only program. My thought was, “Hey, it is only 6 weeks and I’ll be with a group of beginners like myself, how bad can it be?” Let me tell you – I am SO glad I did it!
The team at CrossFit 781 is amazing! Never once did I feel that I was being judged, ignored or forced to do what I couldn’t. I was pushed to be better at each workout but only to the limits that were right for me. The encouragement from the other members and coaches made me try harder, lift more, squat deeper and push as hard as I could. In the past, I tried Zumba, spinning, personal training and various other classes but never felt I got anything out of those. With CrossFit, I feel the hour or so spent at the gym is an intense, full-body workout and worth every drop of sweat! After each class, I wanted to do more and after the initial 6-week program was over, I felt better, I had more energy, I slept better, I was eating better and I couldn’t wait to sign up for more classes - let's face it, I have a lot more work to do!
The facility is clean and open and the members are the most friendly, encouraging group of people I have ever met in a gym, especially with the newbies like myself. I am completely impressed by the attitudes and how the athletes in the classes before or after mine continuously encourage and support one another until everyone has reached their individual goals. This is reason enough to join CrossFit 781 - we need all the help we can...
   Read moreCrossFit781 is by far the best gym I’ve been a part of. I began attending this gym about 1 month ago and it’s been the best decision I’ve made this year. The programming is remarkably accommodating and constantly varying with the exercises, keeping workouts challenging and exciting.
Unlike a regular gym where you show up and have to figure it out on your own, the coaching staff here is always present providing support, whether it’s direct coaching, scaling workouts or individualizing workouts specifically to meet you at your current fitness exercise's. Not to mention, they communicate that information to the coach that’ll be leading your group session so they can see the plan through.
In my specific situation, I had a tooth extraction and was directed by my doctor to not lift heavy weights, run, or elevate my blood pressure for the next 5 days. I wanted to keep my momentum going, and not sit out for 5 days. I reached out to the owner (Eric) and he came up with an individualized plan to adjust the upcoming workouts to accommodate my situation. He also reached to the coach that was going to be leading the sessions I was attending to keep them in the loop with whatever adjustments were made to the workouts.
CrossFit781 is truly AMAZING, the people here are super friendly, supportive and motivating. There are people here at every level of fitness and the commitment adds another level of accountability. If you’re looking to change your life for the better, joining this gym is a...
