No one was ever happier than me, this morning at 9:30, to be blown-out, gasping and wasted. I'd just finished my first full CrossFit WOD in seven and a half months, since my left-hip-joint replacement surgery last July 15.I'm grateful beyond measure for the support of the Fairhope CrossFit coaches and community during my long rehabilitation. To know all of you is an extraordinary blessing. God is very kind.As for a "review" of the WOD itself, I'll say that I appreciated its challenging nature, even if it did kick me in the rear. (The command, prior to the WOD, to perform five minutes of all-out sit-ups as a "core" accessory turned out to be a double-red warning flag of the storm to come.)I did make one switch-up in my WOD exercise lineup, replacing rope-jumping with burpees. Bouncy exercise activities are forbidden to me right now. Burpees are mean little fellows, but, hey, if you've embarked upon the CrossFit comeback trail, you can't go easy on yourself. Less

CrossFit has the best gym community, coaches are great and very knowledgeable. Very welcoming. I am proud to be apart of CrossFit Fairhope and the gym community! Less

This place is awesome and the owners are energetic and full of life. The gym is full of assorted equipment and a really clean and awesome location ( you can sneak a baked treat from the warehouse next door). From what I hear they have a fun treat when you finish on Friday's Less

I adore CrossFit Fairhope staff and members. The coaches are always helpful giving advice in an encouraging way and they are very patient with me as I grow as an athlete. With so many great options for gyms in Fairhope, it’s saying something that I’ve landed here. Less

Enjoyed getting to know the people and facilities! Seems like a great community! Work out was engaging but not too intense especially for someone who hasn’t been working out in a while! Less

Kimberly is an excellent coach. She thoroughly reviewed the day’s warmup, strength component & metcom. She gave me helpful feedback on form, shapes and movement during the session. As a new member, I thought CFF had a friendly vibe and everyone was very welcoming. Less

If you are looking for a great Crossfit Gym, look no further! Great programming, numerous class offerings, energetic coaches, and a fabulous community atmosphere! Less

I come to visit Fairhope frequently from New Orleans and it took me so long to actually look up Crossfit in the area for some reason. I'm so glad I did and that I came into CrossFit Fairhope! Jill is so incredibly welcoming every time I've been there, and so kind to me and my husband after the hurricane displaced us temporarily. She is also very positive vibes as a coach - pushing you to work harder and also critical of form and technique which is always a plus. The workouts are standard WOD format with some weight lifting and then a met con after and the gym is nice and spacious with the amenities you would want. I also like that the vibe is to work hard, but no pressure to lift at the Rx weight; very friendly for beginners or people like me who have been going for a while and can settle in the middle somewhere. Highly recommend and will definitely come back when I'm in town! Less

Fantastic space, friendly coaches and challenging (in the right way) programming! Dropped in and was welcomed like a member. Classmates were kind and helpful. Less

When we moved to Fairhope two years ago, it was a priority for my wife and I to find a place for us and our two sons to work out together. We tried a couple of different locations, but finally walked into CrossFit Fairhope. We immediately felt welcomed and comfortable with the coaches and members. Doug, Jill and the other coaches do a great job teaching the fundamentals and limiting injuries. We are so glad we found this place and would highly recommend to others. Less

The entire coaching team is awesome, as is the community. I Recently had an old ankle injury flare up again. I told one of the coaches I needed some modification, and she immediately reached out to other coaches around the area to determine what exercises would be best for me and my injury. I've seen them go above and beyond each time that I've been in for a workout. These folks rock! Less

I posted this on Facebook but also wanted to post it here. I don't live in Fairhope, but I go to this gym when I visit town. I've tried other CrossFit gyms in the area, but this one is by far my favorite. Here's why: Great coaches. They vary in experience, age, and gender, but they are all REALLY good. As a woman, I love having access to a female coach who has firsthand experience with the unique training needs of a woman's body. I also really like having male coaches who treat me and other women with just as much respect as they treat the men. They work individually with each person in the class and pay a great deal of attention to technique and safety. And that leads me to... Safety. CrossFit, powerlifting, and Olympic lifting are amazing for your body when the movements are done correctly. But when they're done incorrectly, they can hurt you -- badly. This gym takes safety seriously. I've seen them work with the members to help them master proper technique. Whether you're an experienced lifter or are totally new to fitness, this is a safe and healthy environment to work out. Cleanliness. It's one of the cleanest gyms I've seen in a while. CrossFit gyms tend to get gross because you have sweat, chalk, and warehouse dust mixing and griming everything up. This place stays surprisingly tidy, and the coaches remind people to wipe down their equipment between uses. The bathrooms are also quite clean. Good equipment. It's not a huge space, but they have everything you need to work out and do mobility work. Rings, GHD machines, wall balls, foam rollers, lacrosse balls... It's all there. Nice people. The coaches are nice and so are the other students. And it's not a weird CrossFit-cult gym (nobody will talk your ear off about their paleo diets for hours). It's just a really kind, relaxed (socially relaxed, but physically, they will kick your butt - in a good way), friendly place. Men and women of varying ages attend classes. It seems like a great place to meet new people if you've recently moved to town. Less
