The workouts are challenging but scalable for all levels. Whether you're brand new to CrossFit or more experienced, you'll feel right at home here. Saturdays are partner workouts. You can bring a friend or get paired up and make a new one. It's a great way to connect with others while getting stronger. The gym also offers 24/7 access so you can workout anytime day or night. I posted a picture of the schedule. I'd recommend dropping in during any class to try it out. It's a fantastic place to get fit and meet people. And just to clear up any confusion... the gym is OPEN (don't believe the old website that says "No Rep. Adios Muchacho."

I love 9Round. it's a great business with exceptional trainers, but their closing policy is…read moreunethical. The business clearly states that they are operating until 8:00pm, and after I get done with class and work, I rush and try to make it to 9Round so I can decompress and get a good workout. They did not let me workout tonight when I made it there by 7:31pm and honestly it ruined my mood. When I signed up for 6 months with 9Round, I expected them to stay open until 8pm, but apparently even though I pay them $100 every single month and I've purchased 9Round workout gear, they don't think I'm worth 29 minutes. The business operating hours extened until 8pm. Why is it that when I make it there before closing that I can't workout?

It is a welcoming environment where you can push yourself to grow both mentally and physically- it is truly the best!!!

Summit is the best! I came to the gym the first time looking for a new way to workout that wasn't…read morethe traditional treadmill and weight-lifting. I found more than an innovative way to workout at Summit, but rather an addicting, energizing and comfortable atmosphere. From the first class, I was hooked and immediately signed up- getting free gloves and wraps too! Moises and Carlos are the best trainers that push me to do my best. Their integration of kickboxing technique and fitness exercises has caused me to shed the "freshman 15" and feel more confident in myself and my body. Summit is the only place I will workout in Tuscaloosa! It's more than a killer workout- it's got it all in just 50 minutes.

Cam here for a crossfit event - Reindeer Games. These guys are really awesome! They are very…read moreinvolved in the community and offering programs for anyone at any skill set. The race they ran (walked) prior to the crossfit competition was very well organized and they gave special announcements/awards for several of the participants. The games themselves were well organized. They communicated very well how everything was going to be ran and where you needed to be and at what time. They kept everything flowing and finished on time (relatively close...delayed a little from the run prior to the event). Staff is friendly and worked the event very well, communicating with participants what they needed to do next and directed them to the next station, quickly, upon completion of the current event. Great event! We would go here again.

THIS BOX IS A TRUE HIDDEN GEM…read more There is a quote on the wall "this place will change you if you let it." That saying doesn't lie. You will never find a more welcoming atmosphere, homey feeling place than this box. I evacuated to Alabama during irma and while here this place became my home, everyone from the owners Lance and Jamie to every coach and athlete at this box were amazing, beyond anything I could have asked for dropping in. This box is big, spacious, clean, well taken care of. Even with big classes there was never the feeling of stacking on top of each other during a workout. All equipment is well maintained and kept up from rowers, bars, the rig, wall balls, kettle bells, dumbbells, rings, everything is great. Every coach is well skilled and versed in the movements, modifications and willing to help you find the right thing to get the most of your workout. They encourage, coach, teach, and foster before, during and after the WODS. They take the time to get to know you, not once did I feel unwelcome, but always felt like this was just my normal box. I didn't miss a day of the 8 days I was here I loved it. One of the coolest things they have here to is a heart and passion for people and the community around including kids, and special needs. They offer kids Crossfit but also once a week have a special hour for kids with special needs come and they work with them in skills such as just walking up the steps, benching the PVC, sitting up on their own. It's truly amazing to see. The workouts are never the same, they encourage strength 3/4 times a week as well has everyone dreaded, my favorite running day WODS. Open Gym is also available during the day in which any coach there will help you with techniques that you're working on. If you're coming through town or near it I highly encourage you to seek this box out and become part of the amazing community and family this place fosters. Crossfit Candor You're A Gem and forever have touched my life. Thank you!
