Over the weeks and months, I got to know the people better and developed some friendships. I was even allowed to participate in an in-house competition! I will definitely miss this place when my assignment in Akron ends. Highly, highly recommend CrossFit Intent. Less
This place brings community and has helped me recover my confidence and teaches me to eat better, to believe I can do it and how to set priorities in my life…and much more! When I am feeling down, I just show up and it helps incredibly!!! The people who come to this gym are amazingly supportive! 🏋️♀️💪🤸♀️🏃🏼♀️😁

The owner, Jason, got connected to me prior to coming to the gym, told me what to expect, and asked about my background in CrossFit - this was a really nice gesture that made me feel comfortable dropping into the gym. During my session, coach Katelyn led the exercise, and was phenomenal! She had a lot of great knowledge, shared great coaching tips and advice, and also checked in on me as someone dropping in. Additionally, coaches Clay and Jess were taking the class and introduced themselves to me and offered to help me and get anything I needed to have an awesome experience. Overall, I had a fantastic time and felt extremely welcomed and supported. If I lived in the area, I would definitely be a member, but also glad to know I have a gym to come to when I come up to the Akron area. Less
I started working out at this gym about a year ago. When I came into the gym I was new to cross fit and was welcomed with open arms. Everyone in the gym is so helpful and supportive.

I started working out at this gym about a year ago. When I came into the gym I was new to cross fit and was welcomed with open arms. Everyone in the gym is so helpful and supportive. I have learned so much over the past year from the coaches and yet I still feel like I’m doing something new almost every workout. I love how everyone is on a different level of fit and yet everyone works out together in their own way no matter their age or fitness level. The coaches do an amazing job supporting me and I genuinely do feel that they care about me, not just my fitness but my whole picture. They make sure to help in ways over and above a workout so that I can meet my goals and exceed them. I would encourage anyone to come in and try CFI from a teen to a grandparent there’s something for everyone here and so many lovely and caring people to meet. Less
First class and Jason and the entire class was amazingly friendly and supportive, 5 stars
Fun supportive community and great coaches! CrossFit Intent completely changed my fitness for the better . I am a 6 yrs+ member!
I started my crossfit journey at CrossFit Intent over 2 years ago. As an athlete set in my ways, I was skeptical and intimidated to try something new, as I think most people are. I still wasn't where I wanted to be with working out on my own so I gave it shot. It didnt take long to realize I had a lot to learn. I thought I was already confident and in shape.

I started my crossfit journey at CrossFit Intent over 2 years ago. As an athlete set in my ways, I was skeptical and intimidated to try something new, as I think most people are. I still wasn't where I wanted to be with working out on my own so I gave it shot. It didnt take long to realize I had a lot to learn. I thought I was already confident and in shape. I didnt expect this place and these people to change my life! It's so much more than lifting heavier weights and learning cool movements like handstand pushups and squat snatches. It's learning how to take care of your body, eat healthier, approach life with a positive mindset, and just overall wellness. The coaches are always there to support you, in and out of the gym, and answer any question big or small, or just to ask you how your day went. Being a part of this community is priceless. CrossFit Intent is truly for anyone of any skill level, and you will be amazed at what you can do. But most importantly, you will become a better human in the process. Less
The Atmosphere, the coaches, the People...
Crossfit Intent has been a great fit for me. The coaching is really good. I’ve been here since 2017. I am 60 now. If I have an injury the coaches will give me a workout that works around that injury.

Huge shout out all the coaches, they’re great coaches. Super helpful and educational! Immaculate box and equipment, great community! 10/10
I am not self-motivated, so I need a place where people are friendly, coaches push people to perform better, and athletes can see progress. This gym uses The Level Method to track progress. Best tool ever! Highly recommend CFI. I’ve seen tremendous progress in the past 6 months. Can’t wait to see where I am in another 6.
I started with a 6 week challenge. Drug 3 of my friends along with me for extra motivation. Maybe 3 weeks in I knew this was the place for me!! I always felt judged and not once since joining have I felt judged or unwelcome. Amazing coaches who will work with you if you happen to get injured, they just want you there!

never did crossfit before, I was looking for something different other then bodybuilding which I love and do daily. so I thought I would give it a try. I love it. Jason is awesome he always checks my form and helps me understand the lingo...THANK YOU
The best place to get a good workout and make great friends 😀 would not go anywhere else!
Very good place for CrossFit, Coaches are really friendly and helpful. They motivate us and push us for an extra mile. It is a great community, everyone I met there were helpful and really motivated towards the workout. I love going there everyday. Awesome place to workout!!!
Great coaching, friendly atmosphere, & fun that leads to results!
The coaches keep me going, the other athletes offer encouraging support and the variety of workouts keep it interesting and challenging.
I joined over 4 years ago with my daughter and I am still going to CrossFit Intent. The coaches and the people are what make this gym a "huge" step above every other place I have ever been! Even my kids who have been to this gym always compare it to other CrossFit gyms around the country and inevitably say that CrossFit Intent is the best!
If you are looking for a variety of workouts each day & a positive atmosphere, this is the place!
This box has the best team that I've worked with so far. No matter what level you are at in your fitness journey this is the place for you. I've never been in better shape in my life because of this crew!
A sense of strength and community—exactly what I was looking for!
Just in town for a couple days and dropped in. Great trainers and fantastic people. Wish I had a fit-fam like this in my area!
When I moved to OH I was looking for a gym that felt different and I’m so glad I found CFI. The coaches are all super knowledgeable, excellent teachers, and take the time to focus on each individual. I had always heard CrossFit is a community unlike any other but I didn’t believe the hype until I experienced it for myself. Everyone at CFI is extremely supportive and encouraging.

I had always heard CrossFit is a community unlike any other but I didn’t believe the hype until I experienced it for myself. Everyone at CFI is extremely supportive and encouraging. The workouts are great, but it’s the coaches and community that have kept me coming back consistently for nearly two years! Less
I've really enjoyed the past two years at CFI. The coaches are awesome and have helped me go from a total newbie to feeling comfortable with a barbell. The community is great!
Started here with a 6 week challenge and have now been a member for a year and a half. First time in my life I have enjoyed working out and it's a great group of people and coaches who are there to help and make it fun and rewarding! Don't be intimidated- even if you are in horrible shape. Highly Recommend!
No matter where you are in your healthy life-style journey, the coaches at CFI are able to tailor a fitness plan that helps you push forward. The CFI family is: Personable Friendly Knowledgeable Passionate
Only 6 months in and I have made so much progress. If you dedicate yourself you will see how great cross fit is. The coaches are amazing and the other athletes are so supportive!!! Come see for yourself!!!!💪💪🏋️♀️🏋️♀️

I’ve been crossfitting for 6 years and actually owned a box for 3. Crossfit is part of my routine when I travel so I’ve seen many boxes over that time. With all that said loved CFI. I was planing a long trip to town and reached out regarding dropping in. They responded quick with answered all my questions. When I arrived I was greeted and welcomed immediately. The members are welcoming and the coaching is knowledgeable and encouraging. I would highly recommend this box to everyone who asks. On a side note I read some other reviews and they are in bad taste. Please remember these are small family owned businesses. I’ve paid 125-300 a month at other boxes and I’m pretty sure you get a great value at this box. On another side note everyone thinks these gyms are huge money makers however they are not. They take many hours to operate taking you from your family. Only to be under appreciated by athletes that you pour your heart into. This review may be a touch personal however all issues can be remedied and the opinion of one person shouldn’t stop the next person from taking that first step to improving there life. Less
I started the six week challenge at CFI at the beginning of September. I mostly attended the 9 am classes. The group that typically attends at that time is super welcoming and fun.

Integrity is why I have demoted my first review. I wrote a 5-star review at the beginning of my experience with Crossfit Intent because I loved the workouts. My end experience was not great however because Bob Fratena did my final weigh-in and caliper test and lied about my thigh numbers by 30 points higher on the % body fat higher than they were at the three week login! I had decided not to stay with Crossfit because it wasn't in my budget and Bob inflated my final caliper numbers on my thigh by an enormous amount. (I was told he didn't but with his degrees and his job, of course, he did.) When I questioned his weird stream of numbers, he tried shaming me saying he couldn't even get the calipers on me and that my workouts had increased my body fat by 30% points on my thighs than the 3-week mark. What a load of malarkey. I understand how body fat works and eating clean and working out did not increase my body fat 30%. I expected a fair competition. I had felt really good about the 18 pounds I lost and how I looked going into the final weigh in. I worked my tail off for the six-week challenge and instead of giving me my real results, he lied. After Bob's rudeness and lies, I questioned the integrity of it to Chad and I was pushed aside. Cara and Jason redid my calipers again to find my thigh numbers 25 and 23 points lower respectively, proving I was right. I am not a fitness newcomer. I told Crossfit I wanted an apology from Bob multiple times. Bob avoided me, not once taking responsibility for his intentional break with integrity and trying to blame me for it. I asked for some sort of action to be done and over the next three weeks, nothing was done to deal with an owner that lied about numbers. I should have been refunded over that stunt. I am honestly appalled and wonder how often this happens? Jason is great. I like him a lot. There are some cool people at Crossfit, but Bob should lose his license as a coach for that stunt. I would not choose this gym if I could afford it because of Bob's rude unethical treatment of me as a client. I expected a fair competition and received lies when it looked like I might make the final body fat numbers. Less
Had a great time. Very well organized and ran event.
These folks are great. Athletes are progressing, and you can earn Bob bucks!!

CrossFit is EXCELLENT!!!! I did the 6 week challenge, and the 1st day, I knew exactly where I had been going wrong with working out. I was over exercising and under eating, meaning I was counting calories and would do stupid things like eat a couple of slices of pizza and say "Since that was this many calories, I just won't have any dinner."

CrossFit is EXCELLENT!!!! I did the 6 week challenge, and the 1st day, I knew exactly where I had been going wrong with working out. I was over exercising and under eating, meaning I was counting calories and would do stupid things like eat a couple of slices of pizza and say "Since that was this many calories, I just won't have any dinner." Well, you can't do things like that with the challenge. You learn how to eat whole foods and how to nourish your body, not how to 'cheat the system'. I feel a difference on the inside, a clarity and serenity... it feels like my cells are happy. Every coach is GREAT. Sometimes, you go places and the staff is imbalanced (my daughter did Tae Kwan Do years ago and we loved the teacher that signed us up, but not one of the other teachers compared to him). No matter who was leading the class, my body was TORN UP at the end! I dreaded every single coach because they worked us out equally hard (but still not to the point of overdoing it for where YOU were at). I will be telling ALL of my friends about my experience with CrossFit Intent! I can't wait to do a video about it!!! The difference is not only internal, but external as well! People are commenting on my skin, my energy and my new approach to exercise and life! Less
I just finished the 6 week challenge and had amazing results thanks to Jason, Bob, Kaitlin, and Josh. All the coaches are fantastic and knowledgeable. It was like having your own personal trainer and nutritionist. The classes were fun and structured around all fitness levels from beginners to experienced!
خ
I completed the 6 week challenge and it was such an amazing experience! Not only did we focus on strength and fitness, but we also learned so much about proper nutrition! I lost 12 lbs and I have so much energy! Everyone is so friendly and encouraging!
I just finished a 6 week challenge at CrossFit Intent. It was the best experience I have ever had with working out and eating right! Everyone there is friendly and so helpful! I loved it and so glad for the experience!
Competed in my first competition here. Outstanding staff, well organized and ran smoothly. Will certainly be back for future comps here!
Amazing place I love the six week challenge I learn alot and not just working out.
Going to CrossFit has definitely been the best decision I’ve ever made! The coaches are absolutely amazing and the support you receive from everyone is so abundant. There is a good reason why they call it a CrossFit family!!! The love, support, and motivation I have received the helped me so much! Just know that if you think you can then they’ll help you get there!
Great place to workout and get results. Thanks for the support!!!
I dropped in for a couple weeks while I was in town for work. All of the coaches were outstanding, and everyone in the classes were friendly and welcoming, which is not always my experience when dropping into new gyms. I wish I could have hung out with this crew longer!
The class was great. Jason is a wonderful instructor. He pushes you to be a better you but works at a pace you can keep up with. I'm wore out but looking forward to my next workout. I highly recommend Crossfit.
I did a drop-in with short notice. Jason was very friendly and accommodating. I went to a 6:00 am class and everyone in the class was friendly and welcoming. They have a ton of gear and the class ran very well. I plan to return the next time I am in the area. TOP NOTCH!!
Dropped in while visiting family in Akron. I felt very welcomed by the coaches. They were friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel right at home - with some great pointers along the way. Definitely my box away from home during any future visits. Thanks, Jason and Erin.
Great community and coaches! Always pushing me to be my best!

The convenience and community are simply the best. At first I felt that I was joining a group of already established friends. However, there was always a couple of friendly people to great me right away. Those few people grew and grew as I got more comfortable. Now I'm hooked and can't stand being away.
After years of gym , I find CFI to be a refreshing ,challenging and powerful method of achieving fitness.Joined 5 months ago and already feeling stronger faster and have better endurance. Great Choaches , great people ,awesome journey !!!
Great coaches and a great community! If you're thinking about giving CrossFit a try you won't be disappointed.
Been going for a year now. A great wholistic approach. Ive learned a ton about strength, nutrition, well being and made a lot of great friends in the process.
Great community of people that push you to be better. Great coaches that help you at every level. Drop in and give it a try.
I started CrossFit to get better at obstacle racing, now I obstacle race in hopes it will make me better at CrossFit. The coaches and community here have inspired and pushed me to do things I never thought I could. My questions are no longer "Can I do it?", instead I ask "Can I beat my last time or weight?"
CFI is amazing! Great people, great coaches, awesome programs to support you with your nutrition and fitness goals - and crazy good workouts! �
Joining CFI was the best decision I've ever made for my health! I have seen more (positive) changes in my body In the last 6 months than I have in my entire adult life. What's even better is there's a great sense of community and it's one big family here. Everyone's always cheering each other on! �
I hate thrusters. And wall balls. And rowing. And cleans. And sit ups. And push presses. And especially burpees. But I love Crossfit Intent. �
I love all the athletes that cheer you on and push you to be your best.

I had just purchased my first pair of 'I-give-up-elastic-waist-pants' when I thought "is this really happening to me?" I was trying anything, and I mean anything. TRX, Yoga, cardio (the bane of my existence), Barre, etc. You name it and I tried it. Nothing stuck. Nearing 40 and desperate for change I saw the "Best Self Challenge." I thought I could do 8 weeks, and if they can help with the diet too, win-win! The welcome letter really struck a chord with me. I still have it posted at my desk. The best line, the one that really resonates, "feel challenged but not overwhelmed." Needless to say, I am hooked, going strong since October 2016, not turning back any time soon. Best gym experience ever!! Less
A super friendly box and over all great experience! Thanks!
Dropped in here for a week while in town visiting family. Great people and great coaches. I brought my sister-in-law who had never done Crossfit however has an athletic background and a separate coach took her and other newbies in a separate room to teach mechanics and the fundamental movements. Very detailed and passionate people coaching here! Great place!!!!
I looooove it! Coaches are amazing and the people are wonderful.
Good people, good coaching. good community. All good!
Wonderful community and coaches that care about their athletes!!! This is my crossfit home in Cleveland/Akron.
CrossFit Intent has changed my life!! I'm feeling stronger and healthier than I did when I was in the Army. The camaraderie and support you get walking through these doors is like no other. The coaches are amazing and so helpful, they truly care about your well being!
Excited to start Transformation Contest .....even starting on vacation...which was planned before I knew about Cross Fit! Great job coaches!
My first day at CrossFit Copley and I'm feeling the pain...no pain no gain...
Love the sense of community and I'm only at week 3!
