Been here for 15 yrs so yes of course I recommend it. Great community of good people!

I've been a regular and member for the last 6+ years, although now I buy in packages. I have relocated nearby the other gym they own in Miami (A1A) over to near 305, hence it's time for a review. Over the last 6 years, I have grown a lot in terms of my fitness, diet, and overall health. This is completely due to the amazing leadership of the 305/A1A team. There are lots of folks who come and go, but Dan, Chad, and Jeff are always there for you and great people to know. I've done Dan's diet, and it's amazing. I use a variable of it now myself. I have gotten off blood pressure medication 5 years ago due to this team and my exercise regiment. A1A is a great place, but the newest location is very cramped and small, 305 is another level of space and equipment. Much better overall, and the same wonderful coaching staff from A1A is here too. I will be a regular again and love working with the team. Thank you very much, Chad, Dan, and Jeff (and all the others who have passed through... Fond memories of Ron Ron and Keenan is awesome). read more

You are not a true Miamian if you don't try crossfit. I joined Crossfit 305 because I needed more motivation to stay active. Between work (office life) and regular life issues hitting the regular gym became a boring and dragging activity. Crossfit classes First of all, do NOT be intimidated by crossfit or horror stories told by others. Yes, crossfit is an explosive type of workout and if it's done INCORRECTLY you may suffer some injuries. Hence the reason why you should take your time and follow all the instructions provided by your coach. The coaches in Crossfit 305 are great at explaining step by step the crossfit workout and pay close attention to all students to assure that nobody gets injured. In regards to the classes, I can assure that you will feel motivated and excited for each class. You will have a new class/ type of workout everyday so your mind and muscles are always engaged in your workout. Oh also if you are not interested in lifting weights, this gym offers a "reloaded" class which is just like crossfit but without the weights. In sum, crossfit 305 classes are awesome and you should give it a try. Location Don't be afraid of the "little Haiti" location. Crossfit 305 is located in a safe neighborhood and they even have security on sight in the parking lot area (yes free parking). Results If you follow your coach instructions and have a decent diet you will see results faster than ever. Fellow students Everyone is friendly and willing to help. Youngsters I was surprised by the amount of teenagers working out with their parents. Price It might a little more expensive that regular gyms; however, I guarantee you that it is WORTH IT. Remember... An investment in your health it's a good investment. You will be amazed on the things you can do when you push yourself to be better everyday. Conclusion: crossfit 305 is a great gym, with great coaches, and its worth every penny. read more

CrossFit 305 - Trainers Near Me - Miami, Florida

Like some on here, I joined Crossfit 305 because of Groupon. Reading some of the others' experiences here, it doesn't feel like I even went to the same gym. Yes, you have to do the OnRamp classes before you can participate in Crossfit workouts, which is necessary because if you don't know how to properly squat, deadlift, snatch, or jerk, you will hurt yourself. They also do a lot of rope climbing, so it's necessary to: a. always bring a spare pair of long socks with you and b. learn the proper way to get up the rope as well. But I had no issue, getting into an OnRamp class other than if you don't call during a time when they have class in session, nobody is going to answer the phone...or return your call. Once I finally got someone on the phone on a Thursday, I was signed up for the OnRamp class that next Monday. After completing the 3 mandatory OnRamp classes, it was off to the races. I worked out as much as I wanted, whenever I wanted. All I had to do was show up and sign in - it couldn't have been any easier. I thought the instructors were great. Some were better at teaching than others, but they all put in the effort to try to get you where you needed to be in your workouts. The workout were consistently challenging - ranging from "pretty brutal" to "completely insane". All around, I'd say this is an excellent gym. I know the price point will be too much for many people, but if that doesn't bother you, I'd highly recommend working out here if you're serious about getting in shape, losing weight, or whatever your workout goal is. read more

This is my first (and probably only) review, so here it goes: I have never been one to like the gym, or too much physical activity period (this includes walking and breathing.) I'm also not the friendliest person right off the bat. I know you are wondering what the point is so here it goes... After solely riding a fixed gear bike and minimal spinning classes for exercise, I decided it was time to step it up. I bought a Groupon for this place and went in for the 305 workout to start. Meeting Pete was the first reassuring thing I experienced, but I quickly learned that all the trainers (and patrons) were just as amazing and supportive as Pete. The work outs are brutal (305 and Crossfit) but amazing. They are thorough in training you on technique and helping you in your trouble areas. If YOU work hard and take it seriously, they work extremely hard to help you reach your goals. The one thing I value the most about them, is that they do not waste time on people who are not serious, solely expending energy on those that show they're out for blood! These trainers can help you transform your life for the better. I've come really far thanks to them and I can only expect to be more awesome at life as time passes and I stick with the peeps at 305!! P.S. It's the most fun I have all day everyday! I often say if I could stay at 305 all day I wouldn't hate society as much! ;) They are an awesome new addition to my FAMILY category! Finally, in the words of Nas "Don't shoot the breeze about it, when you can be about it." Think about that, if you are looking in to Crossfit in general. read more

A good friend and I decided to purchase a Groupon Coupon for a 2 month Crossfit training @ CrossFit 305... well guess what?... before you can actually use it, they make you register on a web site, sign a waiver and make an appointment for an OnRamp class... all of this is fine... But what they do not tell you, is that you have to wait 90 days to be schedule in this OnRamp mandatory class. Then they tell you to go ahead and take any other class from the 305 workout options... are you kidding me?, this are regular classes that we already have at our current gym and to make things worst once you take one class your 2 month promotional membership stars right there... meaning that you will never have the chance for a crossfit class cause your membership will be expired before taking the OnRamp class. We purchased this because we wanted to try out crossfit... not regular classes, what a disappointment... then you try calling or emailing and no one responds with a straight answer... people from crossfit 305, PLEASE!!!! honesty before anything... this is not the right way to try to get new customers. We are already asking for a refund... read more

There's a reason why NewTimes gave Crossfit305 best gym award! In the last year, I lost 2 inches on my waist. More important, I can do exercises (e.g. crossfit WODs, and olympic lifts) that I never even considered. Each day, I am undoing the damage of sitting at a chair in an office for the last 20 years. I feel great and look forward to the Workout of the Day (WOD). Two things set this Crossfit box apart from others: 1) The meticulous tracking of macro strength cycles (i.e. working, journaling toward a new max in back squats over a 3 month period of time). 2) The knowledge of the instructors. The instructors have immense knowledge especially at progressions that help you work to do some new activity (e.g. muscle ups). Plus they hold everyone to strict standards. Their favorite thing to do is say "no rep" (and then teach you the correct way). read more

Dan, Peter and Dominic are all excellent. Its hard... and it doesnt get easier, but its awesome. I feel good when I leave. Everyone should try it. Its really good.. the space is good, the vibe is good... all good. read more

I joined Crossfit 305 in December 2009. I had tried other local gyms, (Fight Club, Building Gym and regular GLobo gyms before). It has turned everything around for me ( and now my wife that recently joined) in terms of health and fitness. I have never been stronger or felt as good. Some important points that make this place great: - Trainers. The trainers/staff at CF305 are great people with a lot of knowledge, safety is first but they keep you pushing towards your goals. They are also very friendly and intrested in giving guidance on nutrition, rest, setting goals well anything. - The Box. Or the gym moved to this new place and pictures are not enough to show how cool the place is. Plenty of room for big groups, plent of barbells, boxes, ropes you name it we rarely break up the class into more than 2 groups. Bathroos and shower are always clean so if you got to go straight to work it it tottally cool to bring your stuff and change after the workout. Filtered cold water is available at all times for free, and there is a vending machine if you want some Cocunut water or gatorade. Times: There are classes for about every schedule, so this has been very convenient for me, I get out of work at 6:30 and i can get there at 7 for the last class. Environment: Friendly people all around, a lot of the more experienced people will take time to help you on form and giving you advice, sharing stories. Friendly competition will happen for sure, there are people at every level in this gym, from total begginers to Regional Competitors in the CF Games. You will end up making gym buddies that are at a similar level than yours and push each other. Results: In about 8 months I went from sedentary developer with bad eating habits and frustration from not getting what i wanted from previous gym experiences to now totally happy with my progress in terms of performance and the developer belly is gone. It just feels good. Price: the price is right for what you get, personal attention like this would cost a lot more with an individual trainer, you get to go any day you want from Mon-Sat and have a kick@ss gym with cool people to workout with. To end it all best gym, and program I have ever tried, never looking back. read more

CrossFit 305 is a no-frills personal training studio/CrossFit gym that gets the job done! The trainers are friendly and they give you the extra push to work harder that is nearly impossible to get by yourself. The space is set up for a huge variety of weight, resistance and circuit training. The prices are reasonable and even better if you buy a pack of sessions at once. I feel awesome every time I go and have definitely gotten stronger and more fit since I started a few months ago. Highly recommended! read more

I've never in my life been a fitness enthusiast. Actually that's an understatement. But after injuring my foot last year I knew I needed to get in shape, and keep my body and mind healthy moving forward in life. Enter CrossFit305. At the recommendation of a friend, and because I knew one of the trainers, I starting attending some of the workouts, and soon came to realize that this is not your typical fitness regimen. No ego-crazed tools admiring themselves in the mirror as they work out only their glamour muscles, CrossFit is more like a community of friends helping each other achieve a common goal. A personal challenge every time out, CrossFit will help you to achieve TOTAL fitness on all levels. Give it a try and you will soon see what I mean. Oh, and I should also mention that they scale everything according to your fitness level, so you will always walk away feeling like you accomplished something. Check it out, you're body will thank you sooner than later. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this crossfit gym, to say the least. I checked their website, where they say they love people to drop in. I am in Miami on vacation and all I wanted to do was the crossfit open workout 18.5. I got there with a friend yesterday and went straight to the counter, as I would not know who the coach was. Nobody showed up. Then the coach started to give instructions to the people that were there, and I came by to say I wanted to do 18.5. He asked me what 18.5 was (I was really surprised he wouldn't know, given the fact that it was announced 2 days before, and this is a big event in the crossfit community). Then he said another person would take care of me. This other person had me sit in front of the computer to answer a questionnaire and pay. After that, I was just left on my own. I asked if they had the Crossfit Open scoresheet, but they would not. And I was even asked why I needed it, if I am not competing to go to the Crossfit Games. In the end, I improvised a scoresheet and had my friend judge me, since nobody would care or do anything for me. I felt I was not welcome in their gym, even though I paid to be there. I also felt they lack knowledge on the biggest crossfit event of the year (even though I saw they selling shirts with the Crossfit Open logo on it). read more

Like some others I was hesitant to start crossfit but I am glad I did. With a groupon deal that I bought it gave me the push that I needed to finally go forth with my crossfit decision. You will not regret it, this will change your life. read more

Crossfit, when you get right down to it, is the most effective and efficient workout program around. I had been bouncing around from gym to Bikram to pilates back to the gym for 20 years before I was introduced to Crossfit. It has it all, most importantly an intensity and competitiveness that pulls me back day after day. But don't try this at home folks. The training and supervision is key to Crossfit's appeal. The trainers at 305 are top notch at what they do - technique, motivation, nutrition, etc. Anyone who works out in some way ought to visit Crossfit 305 to see what it's about. Anyone who played competetive sports at some point in their life will see the appeal right away. The future of exercise, nutrition and well being is here. read more

Plain and simple, it works, and the people who go there are all real folks--no douches in silver spandex. If you're serious about your health, just make the commitment to go, and they'll take care of the rest. It'll hurt a little at first, but that's just your body waking up from an extended nap. read more

Excellent facility with great ownership and staff! They have classes and programming suitable for all fitness levels

After becoming board with boxing, and regular gyms. I was looking for a new fitness challenge. Decided to give crossfit a go. The works outs are always different & diverse. When you walk you can tell this is an athletes domain :) Been utilizing both of their locations 4-5 days a week. The coaches are all very knowledgeable, some of whom used to compete. Highly recommend!! read more

It doesn't matter who is your coach, all of them give you a word of encouragement to get your training done! They know what they're doing! An explanation of the exercise routine every day at every class to improve everyone's technique in case that we need it! I haven't been a big fan of gyms never but now! My husband and I Have taken classes at 305 and A1A facilities, both great, clean and in good condition! Some classes in the morning some in the evening, at any time I'm motivated to go, one more day, one more rep! At the beginning went with a group of friends, I stopped because Of my schedule basically, once I got back I barely could raise my knees hanging of a bar, not even imagine to do one push up...well guess what??? I did it and even more!!! :) Groups also get together in outside places for family fun or workout in the beach! It's not just a gym, it's motivation, energy, dedication, it's where you get inspired... It's a lifestyle! Thank you guys!!! read more

Exceptional gym, friendly owners awesome experience.

I found this place from Groupon. I decided to stop going after the first week. Before coming here, I had been training Crossfit at another gym for almost a year. As a result of a shoulder injury, I stopped going and then I moved. It had been a few months since training Crossfit and I was a bit rusty. Instead of talking or instructing me like a trainer should, one of the trainers tried to belittle me because my form. He asked 3 times during the workout if I was sure that I had been to a Crossfit box before. One of the WODs consisted of jumping rope and rope climbing. Well, I didn't have my own jump rope and I had never climbed a rope in some time. He scoffed and said that I came from a "shit gym." The place is stuffy and not enough room to do your WOD if a lot of people show up to class. The staff was judgmental and not friendly at all. They don't have a water fountain, so you need to bring your own bottle and fill it up with the water cooler they have or buy one at the front. Not a big deal but I wish they would've told me when I called and booked my first day of class. I would not come back here. read more

I love CrossFit & I love CrossFit 305! CrossFit - I grew up practicing sports (gymnastics, basketball, track, capoeira) and was looking for a way to exercise beyond occasional classes, yoga, and weight training on my own. I joined one month ago and I'm already hooked. I feel great working out and feel great outside of the workouts. I can't imagine going back to non-CrossFit workouts. CrossFit workouts are high intensity and are full complete workouts. The exercises are challenging as they build strength and endurance at once. I leave the gym feeling great and like I got an amazing workout every time. Because we do workout as a group, I have been able to push myself in ways I didn't do on my own. CrossFit 305 - I started CrossFit at CrossFit 305 because some friends of mine who have been doing CrossFit for a while recommended CrossFit 305. The trainers at CrossFit 305 are knowledgeable, helpful, and cool. They are always willing to answer a question about the workout, specific skill or even nutrition. (I say this from experience because I have asked many questions.) There is a great trainer to trainee ratio. The classes are small enough (10 or so) so that the trainer can watch each person to correct form if needed and even to encourage you to keep going. The people who work out at CrossFit are also cool, fitness minded individuals which make it a good environment to work out in. The space is nice and spacious enough for the workouts. CrossFit 305 also puts on various activities outside of workouts. So far in the month that I have been involved in CrossFit, I have participated in a beach day which included paddle board and a BBQ and in Maximum WODage. CrossFit 305 is even going to host a CrossFit charity event next month that I will attend. In conclusion, CrossFit at CrossFit 305 is awesome. read more

I joined Crossfit 305 a month ago and was instantly hooked. The coaches (Dan, Peter, and Joseph) are outstanding. They know their sh*t, and will help you improve your form on every exercise. More importantly, they've created a fun, competitive atmosphere that makes me look forward to my 6am workouts. Classes have a mix of guys and girls, beginners and more experienced crossfitters. If you want to get in better shape, or break through a plateau, give Crossfit 305 a shot. read more

So, I found this gym through a groupon and decided to try it out for a month and, wow, am I glad I did. I have completely immersed myself in the CrossFit culture and it's because of everyone at this box. From the staff to my fellow crossfitters, everyone is extremely personable and helpful. Staff members will help you with anything you need from lifting safely to correctly dieting, and fellow crossfitters will also pump you up when you reach and surpass your goals. I have always worked out on my own, but as I got older, the gym became more and more mundane and overly pretentious. I immediately realized once you enter CrossFit 305, your ego is checked at the door. Any given WOD has the potential to put you on your ass, and keep you there. It really is the best gym in Miami. No, really, read the New Times "Best of" issue, it tells you right there: "Best Gym in Miami." I'm so glad I found these great people and look forward to the advancement of my fitness through CrossFit 305. read more
