I really loved this gym. I wish I could have stayed. I had the pleasure of meeting Eric during my consultation and he was just amazing to get to know. He immediately made me feel welcomed, so much so, that I was willing to drive the 35 mins it took to get to his gym instead of going to the CF gyms closer to my house. I immediately started with 3-days/week and Eric never forgot my name. Each early morning class I attended, he was right there, greeting me, smiling and being just as hilarious as he is. He knew I hadn't been in a CF gym in a few years and was helping me to get myself back on track. He worked with me when it came to certain workouts that I couldn't do that those who were more advanced could. Eric would also give me great alternative workouts that I was still able to complete with/during the class. He pushed and encouraged me to try harder each time but to also pace myself and listen to my body. I have to say, that in those 2 months+ there, I lost close to 40lbs. My body NEEDED that. Not only was Eric great, but the other members of the gym were super friendly and very welcoming. Though I was nervous (because I am naturally shy with people I don't know - even if you can't tell), I was easily able to warm up by the end of the first class. Those 5:15am classes are legit and just amazing to be apart of. Also, a nice bonus is - this gym is off the water by the boats, so catching that early morning breeze in the summer along with the beautiful sunrise by the end of class is simply just peaceful and bliss, especially after a good burn. If I didn't move all of the way to the West Coast, I would have stayed at this gym. It broke my heart having to leave, but Eric was more than understanding to me and my situation. I will never be able to say thank you or show my gratitude to Eric enough. Even in travel and trying other places, there really just isn't a gym that makes you feel so "at home" and apart of a family like Fairwinds CrossFit. Considering what CF gym memberships usually cost, this was very reasonable and there were different payment options/ plans that could really be worked into a budget. Keep being amazing! I absolutely 10 out of 10 RECOMMEND!!!! If you're thinking twice about it, DON'T!!!
