I started CrossFit Albemarle 1 year ago and loved it. I knew I needed to make a change for myself. So 1 month in I started the nutrition program. I have always struggled with making time to get workouts in and kind of knowing what I should or shouldn’t eat but not understanding that I didn’t have to give up food that I loved. This has helped me so much meal prepping, not a program where you have to eat exactly from this chart and count macros. Now I know that I can stay on track with my goals if I have long work days or on vacation. I feel so much better, I feel healthier, I’m stronger and sleep better. Joining CFA was good for my health!A bonus is this gym family, they are friendly and supportive. Everyone here is cheering for you, as you are becoming a better version of yourself. If you’re saying “I can’t do those workouts” like I did and held myself back for so long. Just know that You can. Do something for yourself, bc if you take care of yourself and feel better so will your family and everyone around you.

Back pain from arthritis followed by an injury brought me to Crossfit Albemarle. Never having stepped foot into a Crossfit gym before, I was intimidated. However, I should not have worried. In the Bonefit classes for 55+ ages, Kelly and Lauren made me feel comfortable and at ease with the workouts. Each move was skillfully demonstrated with modifications made for my for fitness level. Approximately, 9 months later, I visited my doctor for my yearly checkup. He was amazed at how much my good cholesterol had improved! About a year and a half later, my husband started attending classes with me. He was able within a year to stop taking blood pressure and diabetes meds! Don’t get me wrong. Crossfit is not a magic pill. You have to show up and do the workouts and they are hard sometimes but you will be supported and cheered on by your coaches and Crossfit Community and you will feelLoved! Crossfit will change your life for the better so don’t be afraid to give it a try!I also participated in the Healthy Steps Nutrition Challenge this past month. It has helped me become more aware of added sugars in food and eating by the plate method each day. Our Coach Lauren runs the Healthy Steps Nutrition and she is top-notch! They tell us at Crossfit that you cannot outworkout a bad diet. I have found this to be quite true during the challenge. Start with your food with Lauren and finish with a good workout each day.What are you waiting for?! Join Crossfit Albemarle today! Your mind and body will thank you.

Five years ago, I was in bad physical condition. I had medical issues that caused me to retire. However, my daughter encouraged me to join a CrossFit gym. I joined CrossFit Albermarle. In that gym I was introduced to HSN nutrition counseling. As a result of the combination of exercise and good nutrition my physical condition has improved greatly. I will be competing in the CrossFit open this month. Albermarle CrossFit and HSN nutritional counseling program played a huge roll in my recovery, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their physical health.Jeff C.

I recently completed a new year nutrition reset at CrossFit Albemarle and it was amazing! I’ve been a member for a little over a year, but this was the first specialized program I’ve taken part in and I can’t say enough about.I’ve yo-yo dieted for years and no program has ever stuck, but this program partnered with the accountability group has made healthy eating seem so much more attainable. I’m not reaching for the sugar, I’m feeling better, sleeping well, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.The focus on progress over perfection is such a breath of fresh air compared to other hardcore programs.CFA, their coaches and their members are unmatched - it’s a place you feel you belong, regardless of where you are in your progress!

Wonderful best coach!!!

The support and accountability that fitness and the nutrition coaching program has helped me is unbelievable. It has kept me accountable but has also helped me reach goals I never thought possible and continues to help me grow with myself and fitness everyday!Something I would say to someone that is on the fence would be that we can do things our bodies and mind would probably not think of. I myself was on the fence and I used to just quit on things but the support that you receive is one of the biggest reasons I kept going! There’s no judgement and I promise that even when you think your failing you aren’t! You’re just getting started on a lifelong amazing journey!

I just completed our 28 day reset with our nutrition program at CrossFit Albemarle. As a person who doesn’t have much discipline when it comes to making good choices with food, this program enabled me to not only make good choices, but also develop healthy habits. I was held accountable with others in my group and my coach. This helped me to stay on track with not just food choices, but getting proper exercise, getting enough sleep and having a positive mindset. If you are on the fence about joining, jump off and contact a coach. This is the only program that works for me!

Two and a half years ago, I went to my first CrossFit class to try to get some of my friends (who were members, and still are) off my back! All it took was 1 class and I could feel the energy of the community and the positivity I knew I could not experience anywhere else. I asked if I could do one more class before deciding about membership and that request was granted. But even before going to my second class just a few days later, I already knew I needed to find a way to make this place a part of my life. The coaching is unmatched. The knowledge each coach has and the love they have for what they do and the people in the classes is unreal. Everyone will meet you where you are and cheer you on! One of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.

I am so glad my first CrossFit experience was at CrossFit Albemarle. I started at CrossFit Albemarle about five years ago and it has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever embarked on. Sure-- you can "fitness" anywhere, but you will not find the coaching staff, the encouragement or the community that you will encounter at CrossFit Albemarle. Kelly and Brad, the owners, have dedicated the better part of a decade to delivering the best CrossFit experience you can think of.The classes start and end on time. The coaches greet you by name and with a smile. The owners bring in new and fun equipment as it becomes necessary. The bathrooms are clean and tidy. The camaraderie that brews in CrossFit Albemarle is unmatched.If you are waiting on a sign to finally try CrossFit Albemarle, this is it. This is your sign.

CrossFit Albemarle has completely changed my life and my family's life! The community of this gym and the knowledge every coach has is out of this world. I am grateful for every member and coach at CrossFit Albemarle! Thank you for an amazing experience!

This place is awesome!!! I first came in 7 years ago, thinking CrossFit would probably not be for me, as I was in my 40's and thought I wouldn't be able to keep up. The owners and coaches take pride in making sure the workouts are available to everyone of all ages and skill sets, with different scaling options and alternative movements to ensure everyone's safety. Not only are the workouts great but the community is AMAZING! If you are thinking about giving it a try DO IT, you will not regret it. I only wish I could give it 10 stars.

This CrossFit gym and their manager/L3 CrossFit coach treated my wife poorly and without respect; and they did not take into consideration her past or current injuries during instruction. The owner of the gym also made the decision to email my wife about her poor experience with a dismissive and passive aggressive email reinforcing that her gym wasn't for her. My wife described it as, “one of the most appalling experiences I’ve had in a CrossFit environment.” I truly would recommend another CrossFit gym in the area. Hopefully they will understand scaling, standards, and show respect - as my personal experience with CrossFit has been. The CrossFit methodology is a life changing endeavor that this gym apparently does not take seriously. I truly hope they will learn from this engagement and start treating their customers with respect. As for me and my wife, we will not attend any of their classes in the future. Actually, I might…just to experience how bad it is for myself.

Hands down the best place to work out at! I have enjoyed it so much. I’ll be honest I’ve never been able to stay consistent at the gym. CrossFit Albemarle has changed that for me. The coaches give you so much encouragement no matter what level you are in your fitness journey. The community is like no other, everyone encouraging everyone. I love how I can take an hour of my day no planning work outs just show up and give it my all! CrossFit Albemarle is truly changing life’s not only physically but mentally!

I remember going into my first cross fit class and I was terrified. From the time I walked in the door the coaches and members made me feel so welcomed. I love how everyone celebrates each others wins no matter how big or small. This gym has truly changed me mentally and physically. I highly suggest this gym to anyone! CFA is not only a gym/workout for me now, CFA has turned into my family!

A friend and I dropped in on Saturday to take part in the Ruck Club and stayed for the class workout. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Kelly by name and immediately felt welcomed. It is evident that Kelly and the CFA coaches have created such a spirit of inclusivity at their box. Every member was encouraging and kind, which is evidence of the amazing leadership and the culture that has been created at CFA. I would highly recommend this box to anyone!

I had a fantastic experience at this CrossFit gym! I dropped in for the last two weeks. From the moment I walked in, the staff and members were incredibly open and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The programming was well-structured, and the knowledgeable coaching staff provided valuable feedback and corrections on form, ensuring a safe and effective workout. The gym itself was spotless, adding to the overall positive environment. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a supportive community and top-notch training.

Dropped in for Labor Day. The community is so welcoming and Kelly is awesome! Can’t wait to come back.

I just completed my second week at CrossFit Albemarle. As a 60 year old, I know I need functional fitness but it’s intimidating to get started. From the very first day, the coaches made me feel comfortable with modifications based on my needs. Kelly Harrington has been great at helping me get started and introducing me around the group. Her instructor skills are stellar. Yesterday’s class was coached by Bradley Harrington. He helped me modify a movement due to a wrist injury and I still got an amazing workout! Bonnie assisted with this class and she continued to offer encouragement and technique help. Tripp coached one of the sessions last week and it was a hard session. Without making me feel singled out, he helped me modify to a level better suited to my beginner status. Lauren has been a wonderful and supportive coach as well. There are other coaches that I’ve not met yet but I’m sure they are as amazing as the ones I’ve encountered thus far. I’m looking forward to week 3 next week! Thanks xfit team Albemarle!!!!
