Love the gym!!! So many nice people who support me. #invasionofthepowersnatchers
Strongest community of people who are all striving to push each other to their limits!!! I am so grateful to be a member. Come check us out if you’re visiting the area. Awesome space with even better people. I’ve been coming here for almost 5 months and have never felt this strong. I was welcomed with open arms from my first class and have built even stronger relationships since then 🤩
Great facility, clean, lots of space. Great community, everyone is welcoming and coaches are thorough.

The best gym in the area by far! The coaches are amazing and know how to tailor each exercise to your athletic ability. I have grown so much stronger and healthier since starting at CCV. So thankful I found my happy place here!
This place is more than a gym. It’s a community of people dedicated to getting fit and doing better. There is no judgment at CrossFit Catawba Valley. Everyone is eager to help, teach, coach and cheer. The coaches are attentive and thoroughly guide you through each workout. I love my CrossFit family!
Walked in the door in July of last year, never having worked out very seriously before. The coaches have been nothing but encouraging and awesome. Now im RXing most workouts and everyone here feels like family. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. Oh and they have a cold plunge! 🥶 big plus

Just moved in USA and I am super glad I found this community!!
This place is one of a kind. If you need a place where you glean better yourself as a person physically and mentally, while also becoming a family with the group you're doing it with, this is the place. I'm happy to call this gym my home and these people my family!
Awesome atmosphere. Awesome coaches and member. Make you feel welcome.
Is there a way to give more stars??? No contest - incredible coaches, amazing athletes, no egos. True family. Thankful to have found CCV!
Of all the gyms I have been to there is none as welcoming and friendly as this CrossFit Catawba Valley. Everyone works together and cheers each other on. The coaches are there and will help you with whatever you need and not just sit behind a desk and watch. It is definitely a place where everyone will know your name and make you feel good about yourself.

My husband and I had a top-notch experience a couple weeks ago at CrossFit Catawba Valley when we dropped in during a weekend visit with my parents. We arrived early to get our bearings, and immediately received a warm welcome to the STUNNING facility from owner/coach Ryan, several friendly members, and two adorable floofy dogs (always a CF bonus). We're spoiled with great coaching at our home box in Chicago, so we always look for quality instruction and cues, individual attention without micromanagement, and solid programming. Ryan's coaching exceeded expectations in all those areas and in leading the class through a super-fun, challenging WOD -- the hour flew by for us. We ended up hanging around and chatting with the members for a while afterward as well, which to us always denotes a stellar CF community. We look forward to visiting CCV again when we're back in Hickory. Thank y'all so much for everything! Less
I have been to a LOT of CF gyms throughout the country. This is one of the best spaces I’ve seen. Loads of room and equipment. I enjoy the folks and the coaching is smart!
One of my favorite things about CrossFit is the community. Just about every box I have been to has made me feel welcome and given me a heck of a workout!

Amazing coaches + genuine community!

If you are visiting Hickory, this is THE place to workout. If you are lucky enough to live in Hickory then do yourself a favor and check this place out. If you are trying to figure out a fitness path you cannot go wrong here. Be not afraid, CrossFit is for everyone! These coaches are super at modifying a workout for ANY fitness level. Start that journey to better health at CrossFit Catawba Valley! The next time we are in town -- and we will definitely be visiting often -- we will be working out here. Less
Did a drop in and had a great experience. Very friendly coach and members. Nice big gym. Will be back next time I’m in the area. (Loved the sweet gym dogs!)
I'm over 50, (52 to be exact). I love this gym. I haven't been able to stick to working out on my own so the group atmosphere is excellent.

The best in gym in town, very welcoming community and amazing coaches! The space is huge with plenty of room to workout regardless of how big the class size is.
This is an amazing place and what makes it amazing is the awesome coaches. I’ve never been to a facility like this before, the members and owners Jesse and Ryan are so welcoming to anyone who walks through the door.
The BEST CrossFit gym you’ll find! It’s so welcoming to beginners, or people visiting the area. The coaches are always there to guide you and push you! Hickory is lucky to have them!!
The absolute BEST CrossFit gym around! I’ve been going here for two years now and I actually look forward to going to the gym for once in my life! The coaches are super qualified and my fellow gym-goers are like family. I couldn’t pick a better place to become a healthier and stronger person at!
THE Best CrossFit Gym in Hickory!!! If you want a great experience fitnessing with a class go to CrossFit Catawba Valley. Well trained coaches! Great atmosphere!
Best Box EVER! This facility is spacious and well equipped! The coaches are motivational and extremely knowledgeable. They take their time to make sure each workout is done efficiently and correctly! Come and join. Your new addiction!
The best cross-fit gym and box in town. The community Catawba Valley CrossFit has is the best! If you’re looking for the best place to come workout in Hickory, then this is it!
This is by far the best gym in Hickory. I have been to 4 other CrossFit gyms between North Carolina and South Carolina and the size of the facility is huge, the atmosphere is awesome, people are amazing, and I get a great workout every class. 10/10 recommend everyone to come here. Top notch community, coaches, and workout environment!
Best CrossFit gym in Hickory! I started here in April 2022. I was very new to CrossFit. You are surrounded by a good community that will push and motivate you to make improvements within your capabilities.
CrossFit Catawba Valley is hands down the best gym you will find in the Hickory area. All the coaches are personable and really try to meet your needs and goals you are trying to reach. I have came so far on my fitness journey and I owe it all to the coaches here. Cannot say enough good things about this gym! Come check it out, you will not regret it!
The best CrossFit gym in Hickory. 1st class all the way around. Ryan is known for his attention to detail, and ability to motivate members. This gym is distinguished by its discipline, fundamentally-sound methods, and friendly environment. Highly recommend!!
Ryan was the coach for my class. Very professional and helped each person in the class to complete each exercise through modification based on each person's baseline of knowledge. Very welcoming and I will definitely be going back for more classes.
Spacious, great equipment, clean, & great community! Programming is responsible, safe and effective. Has a Barbell club with International level athletes & coaching!
This team does it right! Great leadership and great coaching. The space is monstrous as well.
They make you feel welcome and apart of a family! They also push you to be a better version of yourself!
Friendly CrossFit culture you’ve come to know and expect. Awesome physical space tons of room and plenty of racks. The owner is a great guy and the programming is excellent.
Just joined Crossfit Catawba Valley . Love it recommend it👍🏾. Great coaches and motivated people to workout with 👌🏾
All the coaches here are fantastic, they get to know you personally to ensure you get the best workout for you! I personally started around 35 lbs overweight and scared of Crossfit because I had no clue how to lift weights. They started with me one on one (or small groups with other newbies like me) with no extra charge to ensure I started off correctly and safely with the moves. In about 6 month... More

They started with me one on one (or small groups with other newbies like me) with no extra charge to ensure I started off correctly and safely with the moves. In about 6 months with the Crossfit family I lost all of the weight I wanted, became extremely healthy and fit! Highly recommend this Crossfit Gym! Less
What an amazing place to truly invest in yourself! From fitness to community, this gym has it all! Do yourself a favor and invest in yourself by joining this gym. A nice little plus is I also met my wife through this Gym! :)
If you’re ever in the Hickory area, be sure to check out this amazing gym. Clean facility with a large variety of equipment, knowledgeable coaches & members who welcome you with open arms!
Great gym. Very knowledgeable staff. As competitive or relaxed as you want to make it.
Best gym ever! Great place to start the day or relieve stress after a long day. Coaches safely remove you from your comfort zone, help build confidence, and keep the workouts interesting.
I don't leave a lot of long reviews, but for this place I feel is necessary.this jam is one of the best friends I have ever been to. The community aspect and welcomness by every owner and staff member at this gym is the best I've seen. If you are looking for a gym to go to in the hickory area, this is the place.
Such a great CrossFit! Coaches are amazing & so are the people!
Everyone at CCV has become family to us! The community is so much fun, everyone is so welcoming, it has become our home away from home. My wife and I look forward to going together each day and everyone there has changed our lives for the better! Definitely the most welcoming environment you will encounter. The coaches and workout programming are great 💪🏻

Great Place to workout with great people!! Trainers are exceptional!!
The absolute friendliest Crossfit gym in Hickory. They have a wonderful staff, owners, and members who are one big family. This facility is by far the largest in the city and has top tier equipment and a wide variety of class times. Whether you are passing through or looking for a new gym family, Crossfit Catawba Valley is the place to go!
Great coaching and wonderful people! A great place to meet new friends and get in shape!
I have been a member there a little over a year and love it! I love the coaches, the community, and how it has changed me for the better, physically. The class sizes are small and you get the 1:1 you need to learn the movements and to get better physically! I rank it as a 5 as I am so very impressed. Plus they give back to the community. Check it out!
This is my happy place. Even after many years, CCV still keeps me coming back. Coaches and members both motivate me to be better. Perfect large space for class and plenty of equipment for everyone. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
A great gym to be part of. The facility is top notch and the people who make up the gym are the best part of the experience.

Edit: First CrossFit gym I've ever been to and joined. 5 years later and I STILL don't regret a thing. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or anyone passing through for a drop in.
Love the family atmosphere and constant positive attitude of the coaches!! I get to walk in, sweat out all my stress and leave a better person!
Very large, well equipped facility built on a welcoming community. I came to town for a conference and needed to drop in for a class. Jay quickly responded to my questions and personally welcomed me. The coaches and fellow athletes were enthusiastic and supportive. If I lived here, this would be my gym.
What an amazing box. Great coaching ample space great equipment good programming you can’t expect anything better from a CrossFit affiliate. I travel around the country and I would rate this one of the top boxes to hit up in the Carolina area. Thank you coaches and Joey for making me feel so welcome
Good for your heart in more ways than one!
Great facility and layout. You can see that the owners care about injury prevention and are dedicated to running their box the right way. Finally got to stop in this past week to work out and get my butt kicked.
Best CrossFit gym I have ever been to. The facility is by far the largest facility in a hundred mile radius.

After moving to Hickory a year ago, I became a member at CCV right away and it quickly became my most favorite place! Awesome facility, fantastic programming, unbelievable community, & outstanding coaches. Hands down the best Crossfit gym I’ve ever been to.
Always inspiring me to do my best, the trainers are all very friendly and encouraging.
Great facility, awesome community, love it there.
I've been a CCV member for a little over a year and i can't say enough about the staff, facilities and all of the members. Traveling for business, I've visited some nice boxes but none quite like CrossFit Catawba Valley. Come and join us and you'll see what I mean. Hats off to CCV. Thanks for helping me improve every day.

It's been just over a year since I walked through the doors at CCV. I can honestly say I've never made a better decision when it comes to my health. My physical health is the most immediate thing people notice when they see me for the first time since beginning Crossfit here. However, I am most appreciative of the mental and social wellness I've found at CCV. The members care about each others success. It showed when I was introduced as a newbie to my first regular class, and it still shows when I go out to grab dinner with friends from class on a weekly basis now. CCV helped me get back to the feeling of being part of a team. They challenged me to be better, everyday. Not just the coaches, but my fellow classmates encourage and rally around each other. I CANNOT STRESS HOW AMAZING THESE PEOPLE ARE. The facility is huge for a crossfit gym. Tons of space to run multiple classes and dream up fun workouts. I liked it so much I went and got my L1 and started coaching here! So come check us out. I promise you won't regret it. Less
I've been a part of the CCV community for 3 years now. It is truly like having 170 additional family members. We have fun, work hard, and most importantly, give back to the community. Whether you're dropping in from out of town or looking to change up your workout, give CrossFit Catawba Valley a shot, you won't be sorry.
I dropped in a few weeks ago on my way back home from Arkansas. The facility is amazing. I went during their Open Gym time so I didn't really get a chance to speak to any of the actual athletes but just from speaking to Casey I could tell they were an awesome community. If you live around the area or just passing by, I highly recommend dropping in.
Totally kicks ass... be aware of Thrusters...
