PFT is an awesome place to workout. The gym is clean, spacious and has great coaches. The workouts are tough, but you can go at your own speed.

I can’t say enough about Pft. The people and community that own, run and habitate here for an hour or so a day here have changed my life and everyone around us/them. I’m stronger, better physically and mentally and we have a golf league! I would scream from the hilltop if necessary to spread the word.... More

As a newer member of PFT, and to CrossFit, I have never felt more of a welcoming and connection to a gym before. Everyone is so nice and so dedicated to this sport, the community surrounding PFT is unmatched, and you will be trained by some of the best.

Came here in may of 2016 and found not only a gym but an amazing community. Would put more stars if it could

Great atmosphere to work out. Members of all ages and abilities who are always supportive of each other’s efforts. Very positive environment with excellent coaches and trainers.

Amazing team, and in my personal opinion more beneficial than a gym membership. The team does a beautiful job of cheering you on to reach your goals.

7 years ago I started a new journey at CrossFit PFT. I had never done any weight training to speak of, my only exercise in the previous 15 years had been running that I had done on and off, and I was intimidated by all the new exercises and skills. I finished every workout dead last (and I have to admit that still happens from time to time). At 44, I am now stronger than I ever have been or eve... More

7 years ago I started a new journey at CrossFit PFT. I had never done any weight training to speak of, my only exercise in the previous 15 years had been running that I had done on and off, and I was intimidated by all the new exercises and skills. I finished every workout dead last (and I have to admit that still happens from time to time). At 44, I am now stronger than I ever have been or even thought I would be. I travel quite a bit and have been to many CrossFit gyms, but I can honestly say that the coaches at CrossFit PFT are the most attentive and knowledgeable I’ve seen. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It is more than just a gym to my wife and I. The coaches and members have become great friends, and new members are always welcomed. Less

The best gym in the area. Coaches/owners are HIGHLY skilled at what they do, and at maximizing everyone's strength and cardio potential. Have met a lot of great people here. Fun competitions and social events. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get serious about fitness and nutrition....while having a good time.... More

If you are looking for a great workout, and a great place to get that workout, I would highly recommend Performance Factory Training for a couple of reasons. One, the workout. The highly functional workout that CrossFit provides is second to none. There is something very satisfying about lifting a heavy weight above your head and letting it crash down to the ground! Two, the coaches. The coaches are both very knowledgeable and supportive of your individual goals and capabilities. They are constantly focused on ensuring that members are using the correct form on every lift. They also work very hard to make accommodations for each individual’s abilities and limitations. Whether you are coming to the gym for the first time in your life or you have an injury you want to be careful with, they will work to provide variations in the workout that will still allow you to participate. Three, the people. The environment at PFT is second to none. The people are all friendly and supportive. Whether you are fit enough to qualify for the CrossFit games or can’t yet do a single burpee, you will find that you get camaraderie and support from all the other members. And, given the number of PFT get togethers (summer golf outing, Halloween party, baby showers, poker night, etc.) it really does speak to the sense of community this place has developed. Less

Our boys have been working with Aaron at PFT since it opened. It is an awesome gym and our boys are super motivated while keeping really fit.
