As a 50-year-old with zero CrossFit experience, walking into a gym during the 2026 CrossFit Open could have been intimidating but it was the complete opposite at this place. Everyone was welcoming, introduced themselves, and even asked about which class I was attending. That small gesture really stood out.I’m currently in my second week of 1:1 fundamentals with Coach Mike, so I’m not yet in the regular group classes. Even so, the vibe and culture inside those walls already have me excited for the day I get to work out alongside this community.Now a few words about the fundamentals sessions themselves. I’ve completed three so far, and Coach Mike is incredibly knowledgeable about the human body something my data-driven brain really appreciates. Because of my medical condition, we’re taking a slow and steady approach, which I’m very grateful for. The coaching has been thoughtful, intentional, and tailored to identify where I am physically.Between the welcoming atmosphere during the Open and the quality of my fundamentals sessions, I can confidently say: if you’re just starting out or looking to start over, consider giving Heretic CrossFit a chance.The hardest part is simply showing up and you’re absolutely capable of that.

I started CrossFit as a complete beginner with no prior training experience, and after completing the Couch to CrossFit program at Heretic CrossFit, I couldn’t be happier with the results. The level-method programming makes it easy to scale workouts to your ability while providing clear benchmarks for tracking progress.Classes are capped at 12 members, so they’re never overcrowded, and the coaches provide plenty of one-on-one attention. Personal training sessions are also available for anyone looking for more individualized coaching. The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, and the community is incredibly welcoming and encouraging, especially for beginners. If you’re looking for a new gym or interested in trying CrossFit, I highly recommend Heretic CrossFit.

Like all of the best CrossFit gyms, this one is more than just a place to workout. Community and camaraderie are what separate Heretic from chain gym locations. Most people that start a fitness program with a typical gym membership end up quitting because they lack coaching, accountability, and encouragement, all core components of Heretic. All you have to do is show up! 💪

Great and experienced coaching. Good camaraderie and structured classes make going here not only good for your body but also fun.

The Heretic CrossFit gym offers great programming with scaled workout options that cater to all levels. Their assessment system and mobile app provides a good framework for tracking individual progress. The coaches take time before and during class to teach proper technique and explain the workouts, no matter your experience level with CrossFit. I joined about 3-4 months ago and glad I did. Just do it!

I dropped in to the 5AM class. Craig made me feel welcomed and he led a great class. Was very happy that I dropped in and got my fitness on. The other people in the class were fun and welcoming, seems like a great culture. Definitely recommend dropping in here if you are in the area. I’ll be back!

Going to Heretics for more than a month now and I couldn’t be happier. Coach Craig and Mike are great ! If you are new to crossfit this is the place to go

Very open and friendly gym. Also extremely engaging and fun compared to just going to a regular public gym. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite CrossFit gyms. Super clean, great equipment, strong coaching, and a great community.

Immediately welcoming. I’ve never done CrossFit (or really any gym time) until now. A few months in and I’m loving it. Coach Craig is well versed and can help the most beginner athletes to athlete who have been cross fitters for years. I look forward to continuing my CrossFit journey at Heretic!

Just had a fun 'drop-in' workout with Craig and the team at Heretic CrossFit; great coach and great community. Thank you!

I came from a CF gym out of state and tried literally every gym in the area and ended up at Heretic. Craig’s attention to detail and focus on doing it right rather than doing it fast was exactly what I needed. I’ve been at the gym almost a year and progressed at every movement from weightlifting to deadlifts to gymnastics to flexibility. I was initially skeptical of level method but it ensures everyone scales at a level right for them and keeps the workouts challenging and on pace. Smaller classes ensures you get coaching pointers in every class and if you listen to Craig/Mike you will be stronger, faster, and fitter.

Joining Heretic CrossFit about 3 months ago was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was new to CrossFit, but Coach Mike and Coach Craig made it super welcoming and approachable. The workouts are tough in the best way, always changing, and the Level Method lets you track progress at your own pace, which I really appreciate. You’ll also learn a lot, they really focus on proper technique and doing things the right way. The community is full of awesome people. Can’t recommend this place enough!

If you are looking for good, positive energy, high quality coaching and intense workouts, Hereric CrossFit is the place to be! I’ve just recently joined this place, and I believe I’m here to stay.

When I moved to the area, I did a great amount of research on which Crossfit box would be right for me. Heretic is where I landed, and I have not regretted it one bit Coach Craig & Mike are Phenomenal. The on boarding process is individualized and they make it 100% OK to listen to your body to go at your own pace. I felt at home alongside Other members immediately. Give it a shot. Heretic will help you meet your goals.
