I've been going to CCV for almost 7 years now and visiting other crossfit gyms across the nation during my travels. This place is hands down the best one I've ever seen! Coaches, athlete member group (it's like a family that looks out for one another in and outside the gym), facility, and truly "building a stronger community" like it says on the front of the 20,000 sq foot building.The possibilities and gains for you in terms of nutrition, health, strength, competition preparation, recovery and beyond are very real. The resources including experienced coaches, equipment, great management, sauna, cold plunge to name a few make achieving your health goals very attainable. Mix in some hard work and boom!If your not that self motivated, don't "sweat it"...the energy and inspiration you will see, feel, and be a part of will overwhelm you to "press on to the current goal" and then make more!You can even attend a class on SAT am to give the 1 hour class format a go followed by mobility stretching. You will not regret giving this place a try. They truly "know what they are doing here". Less

I’ve been coming to CCV for a year and a half now. I have never been pushed to the limits as much as I have here. I’ve also never been this mentally or physically strong. The owners, the coaches, and the members come together to make CCV a community. We all have different strengths and weaknesses and we help each other to achieve our goals. We have a growth mindset and if you’re looking for a gym to help you GROW, come here!!!! Less

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. After a year of coming it has only gotten better Less

I’ve been a member of CrossFit Catawba Valley for a little over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. When I first joined, I knew little to nothing about CrossFit, but now I’m completely hooked. The workouts are challenging yet rewarding, and I’m thrilled with the results I’ve seen. Even more than that, the supportive and welcoming community has made this journey even more enjoyable. CrossFit Catawba Valley is more than just a gym—it’s a place where you grow, push your limits, and connect with amazing people. Less

This is a very supportive and welcoming gym. The coaches are well trained and qualified to help athletes of every skill level to achieve their goals. The facility is spacious, clean and extremely well equipped. Definitely give CCV a try if you’re looking for varied, fun and functional fitness! 🤩💪🏼❤️ Less

This is my 10th year as a member & 6th year as a coach at Crossfit Catawba Valley. To say that I love this place would be an understatement. The community vibe here is the best! No matter who you are or what fitness level you’re starting from, you’ll always be welcome at CCV. We truly are building a stronger community! Less

We were in town visiting and wanted to find a local CrossFit gym for a workout. Ryan responded quickly to my inquiry and got us set up. There were three of us that came and we were all so happy with our experience. The gym itself is awesome, the people were so welcoming, and Ryan is a great coach! We had a great workout and we will absolutely return to CrossFit Catawba Valley next time we are in the area! Less

We were visiting NC for our annual family vacation and my sister, her husband, and I do CrossFit and wanted a place to drop in at. My sister called and the owner messaged her back quickly to set us up. He was so nice and was thrilled that we wanted to check the place out for the day! The owner even sent us what was going to be the workout for that day. When we got there everyone was so nice and welcoming.The place is AMAZING between the equipment they have and what they do for their athletes and community. I 10/10 recommend! I wish I had a gym like that where I live haha. Less

I was new to CrossFit and had a great experience here while I was temporarily working in Hickory. I made a lot of progress in work outs that I had never done before. There is a lot of space and equipment in the gym and a variety of daily class times to choose from. The coaches and other athletes are friendly and instructive and were helpful in identifying modifications to specific exercises to accommodate my experience level Less

CrossFit Catawba Valley has provided me and my daughter with an exceptional experience. The dedicated coaches have wholeheartedly welcomed both of us, creating a nurturing and welcoming environment for our workouts. The supportive atmosphere and encouragement from everyone have been truly uplifting. Notably, I have witnessed my 14-year-old daughter blossom, gaining self-assurance and breaking out of her shell. Less

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! Less

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! Less

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 Less

My experience at CrossFit Catawba Valley has been phenomenal. The community is supportive and welcoming, and I have created friendships that extend beyond gym classes. The coaches are solid and provide constant feedback for growth and safety. I highly recommend anyone, regardless of fitness level to join. All the workout programs can be modified to meet your CrossFit experience. Hope to see you soon! Less

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. Less

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! Less

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! Less

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! But I have to shout out CrossFit Catawba Valley for having me this week while visiting family in NC.The owners and the coaches are 10/10 people and the atmosphere they have created is what CrossFit should be all about! It felt like home away from home and I will definitely be back when I am in town 😊 Less

I've been to many boxes in several different states and this is, by far, the best. Large space for incredible workouts, top quality equipment, coaches that care about quality and safety, owners who care about the people and creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a community of members that are second to none. Anyone and everyone looking to physically excel in a safe, motivating and overall life changing environment, this is the place. All are welcome and made to feel like family... AN AMAZING BOX!!! Less

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. Less

Moved from Illinois a few months ago and was looking for a new CrossFit gym, and I found CVV while out running errands. Stopped in and talked to Ryan, and he showed me around and told me to drop in anytime to try it out. I came back a couple of days later for my first class, and I have been a member since. All of the coaches are great, and they each bring their own unique skillset to a class. The facility is huge and the equipment is in really good shape. Although I have only been coming for a few months, I feel like I've been a part of the CCV community for years! Whether you are new to CrossFit or have been doing it a few years, this is a great place to come! Less

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. Less

My wife and I were traveling to Hickory for the first time. We wanted to find ourselves a local CrossFit gym that we could drop-in. Fortunately, the friends we were staying with attend church with Ryan and his family.CrossFit Catawba Valley is the best drop-in I have ever done! Amazing facility, friendly and welcoming community, awesome coaching and the requisite gym dogs that I have come to expect at any serious gym.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!) Less

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. Two months ago I had no idea what CrossFit was, but I knew I wanted to get back into shape before I got much older. The group workouts are great and all of the activities can be scaled as needed for different fitness levels. Coach Ryan and Coach Jay have been great and know exactly how to help guide you as a beginner or a more advanced athelite. If you are serious about getting in the best shape of your life then CrossFit Catawba Valley is for you! Less

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. Less

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!! Less

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! Less

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! Less

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. Less

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! Less

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!! Less

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. Less

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. Less

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 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! :) Less

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! Less

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. Less

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 💪🏻 Less

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! Less

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! Less

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. Less

I've been an active member for over 5 years and really enjoy CrossFit Catawba Valley! Their equipment is always up-to-date, clean and in good shape. They have a variety of workout times to fit my schedule with great workout programs. (Beware of workouts named after women - they will kick your butt) All their coaches have great attitudes & are very willing to work with any & all of their crossfitters. Highly recommend this box & I look forward to seeing you there. Less

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. Less

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 Less

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. Less

Best CrossFit gym I have ever been to. The facility is by far the largest facility in a hundred mile radius. Most of the owners and coaches have a medical background and your health and correct form is the utmost importance. prices are in line with other gyms, but you get far more than a workout here. Members are like family and are very involved in the community with outside events. Hours do very, so call ahead or send a message on Facebook to check hours and class schedules. Less

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. Less

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. Less

I moved to Hickory Area almost 7 months ago from Italy. I was looking for a crossfit gym and fortunately Crossfit Catawba Valley was exactly 800 ft from my Office.From the first time i dropped in, I could feel there was much more than Crossfit at CCV: positive people, great hospitality, constant support and motivation to do always better from each coach and gym member!Well, after six months I have incredibly grown as an athlete but most of all, I found a family. I found a group of people that I can trust and that make me feel home every day!If you are looking for a Gym in Hickory able to improve you athlete skills, if you are looking forward to meet new awesome people and to spend the best hour of your day, than Crossfit Catawba Valley is Your answer!! Less

Crossfit Catawba Valley has become a second home for me over the past 2 1/2 years. Not only am I motivated to excel in my physical fitness everyday, I am challenged to become a better version of myself in all ways by the awesome community of my fellow athletes. I highly recommend CCV if you are looking for a supportive atmosphere to help you on your wellness journey. Just walking in the door & seeing the smiling faces of this "fit fam" can transform your attitude & turn a crummy day into an awesome one. Less

I joined Crossfit Catawba Valley a little over a year ago not really even knowing much about Crossfit. I had no intention of "sticking with it" but rather was just going to give it a TRY. I am sooo glad I gave it a try. From day one, my first foundations class, I was in love. Yes of course, I was in love with the idea of Crossfit, but that's not what kept me coming back! The coaches, the athletes, and the environment at Crossfit Catawba Valley is the biggest part of why my first day didn't turn into my last! I quickly came to realize that this Box is sooooo invested in its athletes as well as the community, hence the reason why #buildingastrongercommunity.The owners are so involved in every aspect of what we as athletes strive to do. They are the reason why this Box is as successful as it is. They are always present and are committed to making your experience the best it can be.I have made some of the best friends and feel as though they are my family.

If so....please stop in and give Crossfit Catawba Valley a try and I promise your first day will NOT be your last!!! #crossfitcatawbavalley Less

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. Less
