I've been CrossFitting since 2012 and have trained at several different boxes over the years, so I know what makes a gym stand out. I landed at CrossFit Reality after my previous gym closed, and it's been a great find.What I love most is the community. Honestly, I haven't been to a gym with a community this diverse and open in a long time. A lot of CrossFit gyms can develop a cliquey vibe without even realizing it, and that can be a real turnoff for new members or people who are just a little different from the "regulars." CrossFit Reality is the opposite of that — it's genuinely welcoming, no cliques, and no one is ever left out. People go out of their way to include newcomers and make sure everyone feels like they belong, regardless of fitness level, background, or how long they've been coming. It's a rare thing to find, and it says a lot about the culture the owners have built.That community spirit extends beyond the gym walls too — they even put together a float for the Long Beach Pride Parade, which speaks to how inclusive and involved they are in the broader community.The coaches are knowledgeable and really focus on form, which makes a huge difference in how much you improve over time. The owners, who also coach, are approachable and down-to-earth — they often bring their two dogs to the gym, which adds a great vibe. They also run tons of events and challenges that keep the community engaged.For parents, there's a room where kids can hang out if you need to bring them (I have two kids myself, and while I usually don't bring them since it's easy for them to get underfoot, the option is there). They even run a CrossFit Kids program over the summer. The programming follows Mayhem Affiliate programming and is well-rounded too — beach WODs in the summer, Hyrox training, and Olympic lifting.One thing that really sets CrossFit Reality apart: there are a lot of CrossFit and CrossFit-style gyms in the Long Beach area, and not all of them are well kept. This facility is a standout — it's spacious and immaculately clean. The bars, bumper plates, rig, tower, and bikes are all in great shape, and there are three bathrooms plus a shower, all spotless. If you've been to gyms that feel cramped or a little run-down, the difference here is noticeable right away.Highly recommend CrossFit Reality if you're looking for a gym with real community, solid coaching, and a facility that's actually taken care of.

From the very first moment I took my trial class, I fell in love with the community and the vibe here. The coach who gave me the class was so kind and welcoming, and made me feel right at home.Now, it’s my favorite place to spend hours and hours, and where I’ve found some of my now best friends. ❤️

CrossFit Reality is more than just a gym—it is a community built around great coaching, accountability, and genuine support. The facility is spacious, exceptionally clean, and clearly maintained with careful attention to detail.What truly sets CrossFit Reality apart is the coaching staff. The coaches are highly engaged with every member and consistently emphasize proper form, technique, and safety. They take the time to understand your abilities, challenge you appropriately, and help you improve—regardless of your fitness level.They are also constantly developing new programs, challenges, and activities to keep members motivated and involved. If you are dealing with an injury or limitation, the coaches pay attention, follow up with you, and help modify workouts so you can continue training safely. You never feel like just another membership number.CrossFit Reality has created an environment where people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired to keep getting better. If you are looking for excellent coaching, a clean and well-equipped facility, and a community that genuinely cares about its members, I highly recommend CrossFit Reality.

They are always actively coaching, offering encouragement, providing helpful feedback, and modifying workouts so everyone can train safely and confidently, regardless of fitness level.

I started my CrossFit journey over a decade ago while searching for purpose - I wanted to be part of a community of likeminded folks but wasn’t sure where to go. My life was painfully marked with glimpses of a redacted past that quite frankly felt hurtful and unnecessary- I needed a way out of the sadness. The moment I entered my first box, I learned that strength could be my superpower- what I found was so much more; I found my community.Fast forward to 4 boxes later, I met CrossFit Reality and that sense of belonging became more than a superpower, it created great purpose for me as I leaned into doing the hard stuff with bad ass people and from there, life took a great turn - resilience became my new superpower- i want to thank all the coaches who allowed me to be goofy in the box while also teaching me proper form and technique for my age group (60 now) and style. You all have been the best medicine!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Dropped in for Wodapalooza and had an awesome experience at CrossFit Reality!The staff and members were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The gym is super clean and impressively equipped—everything from cardio machines to atlas stones. I especially loved the personal touch of flags representing current members.They even allow open gym access during class WODs, which gave me the flexibility to train while still being part of the community vibe.If you’re in the area or just visiting, definitely check this place out. Top-notch facility with an even better atmosphere!

This gym is awesome! I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years since my old gym closed its doors, and I’m so glad I came here. It’s been the most welcoming environment, with phenomenal coaches. It’s a place to train, lift heavy, gain strength, build a CrossFit community, feel accepted, feel uplifted by the members, and be truly supported by the coaches in your own personal fitness journey. Thanks CrossFit Reality! You all rock!

So many great things to say about CrossFit Reality! First and foremost, the coaches are incredible. Each one brings something unique to the table—whether it's experience, knowledge, athleticism, passion, or simply being approachable and supportive.The gym itself is a great size, allowing everyone to have their own space while still feeling a sense of camaraderie. They offer a variety of class times and even specialty classes like Olympic Weightlifting on certain days.The owners clearly take pride in the gym—keeping it clean, well-organized, and fun by hosting special events and friendly competitions throughout the year.The workouts are as challenging as you make them, with options to scale based on your own fitness level.Best of all, the members and overall community are incredibly welcoming and encouraging. It’s truly a place where you feel motivated and supported every step of the way!

I’ve been coming here for two years now. They have good coaches and a great community! I’ve dropped in at other boxes and this space is huge compared to others, with plenty of equipment and other nice amenities. Everyone is welcoming. You’ll find yourself getting stronger, learning new skills and making new friends!

I'm so happy I found my new home! I took a 2 year break from Crossfit after a car accident. After trying a week at CrossFit Reality I was hooked all over again. Great space, consistent programming and awesome coaches!

CrossFit Reality is a truly welcoming community. From the moment you walk in, you're met with encouragement, positivity, and a sense of belonging. Whether you're brand new to fitness, returning after a break, or an experienced athlete, this place makes room for everyone, regardless of skill level, ability, or walk of life. The coaches are knowledgeable and incredibly supportive, always ready to meet you where you're at and help you grow. It's an empowering, judgment-free space that makes working out something to look forward to. Highly recommend Crossfit Reality!

All my favorite people are here. Everyday I become more like them. :D

CrossFit Reality is the best workout community I've ever had. I've been a member of two crossfits before this one, both of which closed over the years, and have dropped into boxes all over the world, but this space is special. Diego and Raquel are great coaches and amazing managers—all of the coaches are awesome. We love seeing J and Hugo every week. The gym is huge—those are some high rope climbs!—and the bathrooms & shower are great. It's an incredibly inclusive space as well—we had a float in Long Beach Pride the past two years! Being part of CrossFit Reality is the best thing I've ever done for my health, and I hope it can do the same for you.

I was extremely loyal to my old gym, but then it abandoned me when the new owner unexpectedly shut it down. Along with a number of workout buddies, I gave Crossfit Reality a try -- and I wouldn't trade it for the world! Clean, spacious, enough room for lots of people doing Murph at the same time but also feels intimate when there are small class sizes. The coaches are outstanding and attentive. Diego and Raquel run a well-oiled machine. And the community is terrific and inclusive. Thank you for providing such a fantastic environment!

Started coming here when my old CrossFit gym closed down and from day one, everyone was welcoming and the gym is clean and organized. Classes are big enough to feel like a great group workout but small enough that you still get the attention and correction on form and scaling if needed. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to join as a regular member or dropping in from out of town.
