I’m super new to the CrossFit world and have loved getting to know the sport and people at CrossFit ABF. Since joining, I’ve felt very welcomed by the coaches and other athletes. I also have some old injuries with a certain degree of limitation, and all the coaches have been really supportive with helping to ensure my form is correct and in providing ways to scale the exercises/lifts when needed. Lastly, classes are really fun, and I appreciate that there is a space there for the full range of athletes from beginners to people working to compete. Less
First time going I was greeted by coach Ryan. instantly felt very welcomed, great energy, they are always willing to help & teach you the proper workouts. Would definitely recommend checking it out.
We did a few Drop-Ins in this box during our vacation in Clearwater. Very well equipped, great and inclusive atmosphere, amazing people and dogs. Ryan welcomed us with open arms and was a truly amazing host. Definitely recommend this super cool location!
Amazing space! Super welcoming owner. Everything is so clean and organized and there is a plethora of equipment. Highly recommend!
Great community. Knowledgeable and caring staff. Highly recommend!
Ryan and his crew doing too not h CrossFit.
Coach Coreys class is fantastic. He kept me motivated during the whole metcon. During the skills he was checking every aspect of my back squat. Really appreciated him taking the time to coach me properly and encouraging me into progression. The box is fantastic too, huge space, clean and friendly people and plenty of equipment.

Excellent experience as a drop in. My wife and I visited Clearwater and we are so glad we chose ABF. Gym was super clean, coaches were friendly, top notch equipment and the industrial fan was clutch. Highly recommend.
Stopped in from out of town and was very welcomed. Great experience and great facility
WOW! What an awesome place and Coaches Ryan and Amber were amazing. Plus it was awesome to meet Eve, Bella, and Callie. Let me throw out there I'm fairly new to CrossFit and had built-up enough confidence to try my first "box drop in". This gym / box was fantastic and coaches were stellar. I am so thankful CrossFit ABF was here, for my first drop in. Fantastic 5*
Community, programming, coaches, and well pretty much everything!!
Family of young athletes. You feel welcome first time you walk in the door. Ryan and the other coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. Friendly dogs always welcome.

Almost 3 years ago I was newly engaged, moved to a new area and was looking for a change in regards to my non-active lifestyle. That’s when I found CrossFit ABF, from day one Coach Ryan was there to support and guide this newbie through all things CrossFit. It’s the community that he creates that keeps me coming back. It’s not your typical global grunting gym. We treat each other like family and support through it all. If it wasn’t for CrossFit ABF I wouldn’t have met two of my closest friends nor would I be where I am at mentally and physically. So if you’re waiting for a sign this is it, come and drop by our box. You won’t be disappointed Less
ABF is Magical! Honestly, it’s an incredibly positive environment for anyone wanting to get into or better at achieving their fitness goals!
Dropped in with no advance notice 😬...I know how much you gym owners love that 🤦🏻♀️...however let me workout with no issues, great spot, normal hours unlike other gyms in the area, good equipment as well. This gym is also super clean unlike a lot of other places I’ve dropped in at. If In Clearwater again will be back!
Dropped in today and was super cool. The owner Ryan is awesome. Great box
I cannot believe after years of disliking and avoiding exercise, I enjoy it-I actually crave it! The people are so welcoming and supportive. The variety of exercises are so plentiful every workout, boredom isn’t an option! Ryan is hilarious as he patiently teaches, encourages and coaches! All the coaches here are ideal.

Don’t let the words “CrossFit” scare you, they modify it all to each person. If I can get into this, and love it, anyone can. I promise. CrossFit ABF is my answer to get out of the 20 year rut I have been in! Who knew! 😃💪🏻 Less

They were having a 6 week challenge which included working out 3 days weekly and a meal plan! I had never done Crossfit before but I was very interested so when I met with him and found out how awesome he was (and that the gym is dog friendly!!) I couldn’t wait to start. Everyone there is so helpful and supportive and the coaches are extremely knowledgeable with the movements and scaling things down for the most novice beginners of working out or doing Crossfit. With their help and a lot of determination, hard work, and discipline I was able to change my whole life style around with ease. I have lost 22lbs since I started there in the beginning of May and I could not be happier. I have gained muscle, lost body fat and overall I am a stronger person mentally and physically. Crossfit ABF is truly a family that I know now I don’t want to ever be without! Less

I have always been someone who enjoys being physically active and staying fit. Like a lot of people, I was constantly trying new workout programs/routines and getting bored easily.

I have always been someone who enjoys being physically active and staying fit. Like a lot of people, I was constantly trying new workout programs/routines and getting bored easily. I wasn’t entirely ignorant on how to eat healthy, but I also failed repeatedly to stay on track because I was “dieting” and completely restricting myself from eating certain things. I recently moved to Florida to open a new market for my business and found myself out of shape, unmotivated and negative. I wasn’t looking for Crossfit ABF when I found them, but I am so glad I did! I stumbled upon a challenge they were having, and hoped it would give me the kick in the butt I needed to get back on track. I had a consultation with the owner, Ryan, and knew it was going to be a perfect fit. I was given a guide that taught me healthier eating habits, how to portion and how to meal prep. We got to choose 3 days a week to workout, and they were serious! Everyone at the gym is extremely friendly and encouraging so it made it a lot easier to push through when it was challenging. The coaches are amazingly helpful, and always paying attention to ensure we’re working out safely as well as effectively. It didn’t take long to become completely addicted to the lifestyle! I’ve not only gotten in great physical shape, but I’ve also gotten my drive and motivation back. My body and life has changed so much since I started, I absolutely cannot wait to see how much I can continue to grow and get better. Thank you so much to Ryan and everyone at the gym. It truly feels like a family and I am grateful I found you all! Less

Highly Recommended this gym. Great coaches!! Genuinely care for their members health and progression. I currently join the HIIT 6 week challenge and it's going great. They provide a meal prep guideline that its easy to follow and create. Awesome recipes as well. If you want to make a change in your in your life for the better, Join CrossFit ABF!!!
What I liked about dropping in here was the energy that was inside the gym the second we walked in. People inside were talking, laughing, socializing and just enjoying being there.

Always clean, and I Love the high energy music.
One of the best boxes in town! Ryan is awesome and creates the community we all look for. 5 stars all day
I picked a great day to drop-in. Pregnancy WOD! Typical CrossFit family atmosphere.
CrossFit is all the community and each one starts with the owner and coaches. Ryan McElhaney is one of the best I coaches and people around! He is an awesome athlete also so its always nice to see your coach tear up the WOD with the rest of the athletes. 5 Stars all day!
Great place! good Environment nice people I will be back!!!!

Preparing the body “not only for the known, but also the unknown” is the mantra for CrossFitABF, I’m doing things I never would have thought I was capable of. Brought me back to feeling like I can do anything, and I actually look forward to working out. Ryan is amazinnnggg/hilarious soul who is extremely knowledgeable in all movements. All the coaches are excellent, their greatest strengths are definitely in the ability to break down movements so they’re understood as well as scaling anything and everything for those who need it. Every member, regardless of skill level, cheers everyone else on. ABF is just all around an amazing place!! Less
Great box, great community, great coaches!
I was on vacation in Florida and I did the 2 last open workouts at ABF Super cool box Everyone was very friendly and welcoming Thank you Ryan and Crossfit ABF
Fun and friendly box, excellent trainer.... me encanta este lugar!
The gym offers both crossfit and bootcamp classes. Coach Ryan and Coach Misty are wonderful! The members are so much fun to be with. Every class it seems is my new favorite.

The gym offers both crossfit and bootcamp classes. Coach Ryan and Coach Misty are wonderful! The members are so much fun to be with. Every class it seems is my new favorite. Initially the word crossfit scared me. Now I’m able to do box jumps, I have improved my jump roping from singles and double unders, and have gained confidence and strength. The feeling of finishing a barbell lift then hearing the sound of the drop to the floor is empowering. It’s a fun addiction and I look forward to coming back the next day. I scale (modify) the workouts to my fitness and comfort level, and the coaches safely guide me step-by-step out of my comfort zone with appropriate progression. I ❤️ Crossfit ABF. Less
I enjoy going to CrossFit ABF, it is always fun, and they push you to limits you don’t think are even possible! Keep it up guys! Love going there! I highly recommend this place. Also, everyone is extremely nice and encouraging, but I think that’s because Ryan (owner) has that personality!

Great coaches, fun atmosphere, intense workouts. Love this crossfit gym!
Haven't actually been to the facility, but have heard nothing but great things about Ryan (the owner) and the integrity he holds for running his gym. Definitely check them out if you're looking for great CrossFit classes, community, and much more!
Great group of people who are very supportive, both inside and outside of the box. Great coaching and programming. I was initially so intimated to try CrossFit. Three years later, I can honestly say it has impacted my life in many ways - all for the better!
Our coach is great and the environment is inviting and welcoming. Love this place!
Great gym and awesome people!! I had a great experience with yoga yesterday, slept well and woke up feeling fantastic!!
crossFit ABF is the best community of friends and family anyone could ever ask for! This box provides so much love and support that it's really hard to find this same experience anywhere else. Believe me. I've tried!
Visited here when on a business trip. Great coach and owner. I'll definitely be back if I ever travel here again.
Love ❤️ love ❤️ this gym!! Everyone is welcoming and workouts for all levels
Best CrossFit in Pinellas County! It's my happy place!
Great workout! Wonderful instructors !!! If you live in the area I highly recommend Crossfit ABF!!!!
Been going here for 9 months and absolutely love it. Coach Ryan is the best -- from my on-boarding to now has been very patient and helpful in teaching me how to be better. The group here is warm, inviting and a lot of fun. I highly recommend ABF!
Ryan and Linda are awesome! Highly recommend checking their box out.
A great place where you work out together with a great coach.
I left my previous crossfit gym bc of the lack of coaching I was receiving. And I'm so glad I did, Ryan is an amazing coach, and the people that go here are really like my family. The coaching is always on point. And the fact that Ryan has a mobility cert comes very handy when you need a good stretch before a PR day.

Coach Ryan is very knowledgeable and will help you meet your goals in every way .
Ryan, the coach and owner, has great programming. He challenges each athlete, while recognizing where where each athlete is at physically, as well adjusting for any pains or injuries an athlete may have. It's a great group of peeps that work out at ABF. Check it out - you'll be glad you did!
I was so scared to try crossfit. I am not exactly fit or particularly sporty but Ryan makes you feel comfortable from the start and EVERYONE that is a part of this gym is incredibly welcoming and encouraging. It is intense and really hard work but you are getting a great workout. I highly recommend this place to anyone!
Great training. Great members. Always welcoming new people!

The community built atmosphere that the members and Coach Ryan is very welcoming and social. Everyone is supportive and really support you for your own goals and not a competition for setting standards. Taking the first step to trying it out was the hardest but it's been an amazing experience. I've been going almost a year and really saw results within the first six months. Try it out! Less
Don't tell him I said so, but Coach Ryan has changed my life. If you are hesitating to try Crossfit because you've heard it's dangerous, please know that every movement can be scaled, and Ryan always keeps an eye on form to minimize the possibility of injury. We have so much fun at this place that I don't even mind the burpees (too much).
Easily the best CrossFit option in Pinellas County.
Great environment with a great coach!
