Best crossfit gym in oakland! Coach Charlene and Ryan are the best. Charlene is a Crossfit games athlete for pairs. They taught me how to get strong as crap. I got 4 PRs in a month when I started with them. We all go out to comps it’s awesome.

Iron Shell is one of the best Cf gyms I've ever been to over the last 15 years if so that I've been doing crossfit. The coaches are super knowledgeable, the space is massive and well equipped, and the programming is scalable and very challenging. Highly recommend for veteran cross fitters looking for challenging workouts, or for new members looking for expert coaching and scaling!

Love both Ryan and Charlene’s coaching! They are very observant about form and technique, carefully watching every movement to make sure you’re doing it right, while at the same time pushing you to perform at your best when they see you’re ready for it.Ryan helped me get my first stringed double unders during class today - a moment I had been working toward for a while. He noticed my rhythm was off and guided me through small adjustments in timing and wrist flick, which made all the difference. Charlene and Ryan’s little tips and tidbits during open gym time have been invaluable for improving my pull-up. Their encouragement and hands-on advice have brought me almost to my first pull-up, something I’d been struggling with for a long time.The combination of their focused coaching and genuine belief in your progress creates an environment at Iron Shell CrossFit where you feel confident to push past limits and celebrate every milestone.

The owners are elite CrossFit athletes who take pride in helping individuals at whatever fitness level: beginner, intermediate and RX. Their programming allows flexibility. The facility is large with ample space, community is very welcoming and supportive. Every CrossFit device is new: barbel, racks, weights, equipment. You can also train Hyrox. Happy to train here.
