I found myself looking for a new gym in April and I did a lot of research and reviewing different gyms in the area. Three things I look for in a gym 1. Willingness/ability to help me modify the movements based on my limitations 2. Community atmosphere 3.clean facility I have really enjoyed coming to Chaka.
Amazing atmosphere!
I really love this place!! 💪🏻 It's a great family and everyone is very friendly!!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Easy to get in, workout, and get back. Well organized and flows efficiently.
Great experience! Super knowledgeable coaches willing to help out and scale your workouts as needed. Friendly and welcoming environment!
At the time that I was working in the area, I was able to visit for roughly 3 weeks. I really enjoyed the individuals, as well as the coaching, and the atmosphere that they created. The success of crossfit can be attributed to outstanding gyms like this one.
I am new to Chaka CrossFit but the coaches and others taking classes have made me feel very welcome. The expertise of the coaches is phenomenal. They have guided me through modifications to the movements when I need them. Everyone is very encouraging and supportive which makes it easier to go back.
First and foremost the coaching is excellent. Every workout no matter what level you are on can be easily scaled to suit your progression. The wide range of classes offered throughout the day make it work for anyone’s schedule. The sense of community is refreshing and the people who make up CrossFit are simply amazing! They make you want to be there💪🏼Best X-Fit ever!
Having experienced numerous gyms - including several CrossFit gyms - Chaka stands apart. It is truly a welcoming community who supported me in the fitness goals I set for myself. Plus, they keep the gym clean and the equipment in great condition. 5 stars isn’t accurate enough.
This gym is amazing. The workouts are challenging but the people are welcoming so I actually look forward to going.
Two years ago, I walked through doors of Chaka CrossFit unsure of what CrossFit was and how it could benefit me. Today I am so glad I made the choice to give it a try. It is best decision I made for my health and well-being. The coaches go above and beyond to understand your fitness goals and help you reach them.

I signed up for Chaka Crossfit a month ago, all the coaches have been super helpful in scaling things to my skill level so it wasn't intimidating. I also enjoy the class sizes, its not overwhelming and it has been very enjoyable. Also everyone is super supportive. I'd recommend stopping in for their trail and you'd be hooked instantly.
I initially tried Chaka because it was the least intimidating CrossFit gym in the region and had the best logo. Both of those things are still true, but I've also gained access to a great community and feel healthier than ever before. Also, it's clean - but in a way where it's comfortable to be there but I don't feel bad if I get sweat and chalk everywhere after giving it my all during a workout.
When I first considered starting CrossFit, like many people, I was nervous. I had been doing some weightlifting but was unfamiliar with most of the movements typically found in CrossFit.

Chaka helped ease those nerves quickly with their support, flexibility, and coaching, finding the right ways to make sure I could get the most out of the workouts and continue to build on my skills and strengths. Fast forward 3 years and all of the support, flexibility, and coaching have continued, plus the love and support of the AMAZING Chaka Community, giving me more mental and physical confidence and strength than I could ever have imagined. The CrossFit community is second to none and Chaka is the best place to find it. I wouldn’t want to start my day any other way! Less
Been going to Chaka since it opened. Highly recommend.
A phenomenal gym with great coaching, well rounded programming, and a welcoming environment. They are willing to meet you where you’re at regardless of where you may find yourself on your own fitness journey.
One of my favorite hours of the day is spent at Chaka! An awesome community filled with a diverse group of folks who want to better themselves and have fun doing it! High quality coaching, great facility and wonderful people make Chaka the best gym around!
Chaka CrossFit is the standard that all CrossFit gyms should strive to live up to. Qualified coaches, super clean gym, welcoming environment. You definitely feel like one of the family. If you want challenging workout with great people Chaka is for you.
Great people awesome workout!
Amazing staff. Family like environment. Definitely recommend to get riiiiiiipeeeddddd.
More than a gym. Chaka is a fitness community for all.
Chaka CrossFit is such a wonderful place! There’s ample instruction by really talented coaches available for newcomers like myself, and I looked SO GOOD after my time spent doing CrossFit every morning before I moved back to college. 10/10. My arms speak for themselves. The community is also really wholesome and supportive.
I have been a member since 2018. Chaka is a community and to me family. I am 50 with a new knee. I workout side by side with 20 somethings in their prime. We are all included, welcomed and encouraged. Best supportive environment!
This is my favorite gym by far. I always feel welcomed, never judged, have tons of fun & have had many new experiences. They offer a kids class that my daughter absolutely loves!
Love working out at this gym so far! Great coaches, friendly people, and an awesome culture all around.
My roller derby team does workouts here and we are always given a solid program to follow and amazing coaching. Very clean facility. Lots of equipment. Well maintained.
Great gym with awesome people who make you work! Totally worth it and I'll definitely be back. And they also support the community by being a sponsor to our local roller derby team :)
Great workouts and super helpful for beginners! Great coaching and lots of variety! Thank you so much for sponsoring HARD! Cross-training is so awesome for roller derby. 💚🖤💚🖤
Great gym. Supportive atmosphere. I will be back!!!
I have been a member at Chaka CF since Day One and have never contemplated going elsewhere. If you are looking for an inclusive environment that pushes you in the right direction, this is where you want to be.
I visit anytime I’m in town and the Chaka community and coaches are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable! Great spot! Just wish I lived up here so I could be a member full time! Highly recommend checking them out!
Very clean space, amazing coaches you will definitely find what you are looking for and more
I have been a member at Chaka since 2018. It is such an amazing place that I have come to call home. The community is one of the best around. I couldn’t ask for a better second family.
Super clean facility. Knowledgeable coaching staff. Amazing community!!!
Amanda trains my daughter with personal training. Amanda has been great preparing her for sports specific activity and injury prevention through strength training.
I love Chaka! The workouts are top knotch and the community is the best that I've found. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good workout and/or looking for an encouraging and fun gym community.
This gym sponsors our roller derby team, and they're fantastic! The workouts are always well thought out.
Great example of functional fitness! Very clean facility and the coaches are extremely professional and knowledgable. Great gym serving the New Cumberland and Harrisburg area!
Coaches are great, absolutely love the environment here!
A fun, encouraging, non intimidating environment with coaches that want to help you thrive no matter your age, fitness level or goals! I love this gym, it's people, their values and heart! Its a great place to start or continue your health journey.
Warm and welcoming, great workouts!
I’ve belonged to many gyms and I expect Chaka to be the last. The coaches are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The community of members are welcoming, encouraging and fun to work out with. I always look forward to the four days a week that I attend classes. Every workout is challenging but always doable with a little scaling to match your situation.

I joined Chaka in 2019 with no prior Crossfit experience. Chaka is a fantastic facility with great coaches who are truly interested in creating a family style community. Starting Crossfit can be a scary proposition, but they do an excellent job creating programming that scales to wherever you may be in your fitness journey.
I joined Chaka a few years after having my daughter. Not having lost any baby weight I knew I had to do something. The programming can be scaled to your abilities. With positive coaching and great members you will be exceeding your own expectations. Highly recommend!
Chaka offers a challenging workout and a family atmosphere. All of the trainers are able to make accomodations or modifications for ailments. It's always fun and challenging. The members range in age from 10 to 70 and everyone participates as able.
Chaka has been a fantastic experience ever since signing up a year ago! As someone who needs to adapt a lot of workouts due to surgeries and limited mobility issues, the coaches are always so patient, helpful, and make sure that I have a plan for each workout when I get there. It’s honestly been life changing being able to learn from the coaches on ways to adapt workouts to what works best for me... More

I've admittedly never been much for group fitness classes but Crossfit, more notably Chaka CrossFit, changed that.

If you want wimpy workouts go to another gym!! 😊 The coaches are great.
Awesome place to work out with nice clean equipment. This gym got me in great shape and Dee and team have always been wonderful and easy to get along with. It’s a nice community where members and coaches support each other and encourage growth in and out of the gym.
Friendly people. Fun atmosphere, good equipment, and good workout variety.

I cannot recommend Chaka highly enough!!! Less
Great workouts, nice facility, knowledgeable staff, and amazing community of people!
Chaka CrossFit provides an excellent, safe, and fun way to be healthy and active. The coaches do an amazing and excellent job teaching the classes. They review each workout and movement before and during the class. They provide scaled options for each of the movements within the workout if you are unable to complete the prescribed/recommended weights and movements.
I joined Chaka a little over a month ago and absolutely love it. Most things are scaled for me but I still end the workouts sweaty, sore, and out of breath. I've already lost 20 pounds since starting and can do a lot more than a could a month ago. The coaches are amazing it's like having a personal trainer every day.

I've already lost 20 pounds since starting and can do a lot more than a could a month ago. The coaches are amazing it's like having a personal trainer every day. They encourage you and push you to do more but also make sure you're not risking injury which is important for me having a bulging disc. All the people are great they treat you like you're a friend they've known for years from the moment you walk through the doors for the first time. I don't see myself ever leaving Chaka and definitely recommend anyone thinking about joining any gym at all to come here for sure! Less
I love the environment from the memebers and coaches to the facility itself. Everyone is inviting, encouraging and helpful. This is the cleanest gym I have every belonged too! Love it!!
The coaches are very nice and very helpful.
Everything went smoothly and was easy … it was a great day !!!! Plus they had raffle tickets that was fun !!
Attended a CrossFit competition. The gym was well organized and clean. The competition was very well organized and ran smoothly
I went as an observer for the youth of my church. I am on a walker and could never do that, however it was very interesting to see what they had to offer
Awesome CrossFit box, with great people, coaches, and classes. I visited the area for a week, and I’m so glad I decided to do the week of drop in classes. It was well worth it. Very nice, clean facility. Very welcoming staff and members.
I had my first class this morning. The atmosphere is energetic and welcoming among the coaches and class members. Julia invited me to her morning workout, explained the workouts and demonstrated how to do them on a one-on-one basis. Thank you all so much. Can’t wait to come back 😃

Best possible staff, friendly environment, encouraging membership eager to help others. Highly recommended!!
Love Chaka CrossFit. Have been doing personal training w Dee and Lauren developing skills to get to classes. Today I took my first class and I felt prepared and not lost. It was fun in a love/hate kinda way. Love that they work with me and make modifications to skills so I can still participate and progress. Awesome place. ❤️🏋️♀️
We love this Crossfit. Since we move here we been shopping around for great gym, Chaka Crossfit by far the BEST. Super Clean and All The Satff are amazing
Great for a newbie to a seasoned CrossFitter! So patient and truly understanding how to help everyone!
This is by far the best Crossfit box you could join. Having come from another box I was welcomed and treated like family. Outstanding coaches who actually care and are invested in your betterment. Try them out you will not be disappointed I promise you.
Have had a great experience with every aspect of Chaka! Great coaches and a facility that continues to grow with its expanding community. You will never find yourself short of equipment or space. Highly recommend!
An awesome facility, with amazing, dedicated coaches that truly care. I love coming here and the friends I have made as a result of their friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

My son and I went to the Chaka crossfit class on Friday. We both liked it. They were very welcoming and explained everything. They also were quite encouraging as we went through the workout. Today we are both sore. My tricepts hurt the worst. I am not used to dead lifts. We expect to go back.
Fantastic environment with brand new top of the line equipment. Coaches are very knowledgeable and willing to help you progress to the next level.
Nice, brand new, CLEAN facility with top notch dedicated coaches and quality equipment.
Owners are fantastically friendly and the coaches are knowledgeable. Members are welcoming and the atmosphere is fun and comfortable.
