All fitness levels and ages are welcome,I am a mom of 3 and I struggled finding an exercise routine I enjoyed doing until I found Armada! I love the morning class and everyone's energy! read more

CrossFit Armada - Deadlifts - Gyms Near Me - Pearland, Texas

I'm sure Armadas actual experience is wonderful, unfortunately mine was cut short. I am coming from out of town, I called multiple times before my drop in, no one answered. When I showed up to the 12pm class I was told that I needed to email and the lady quickly hopped in her car and left. As a customer I was offended, I'm pretty easy going, and was planning on attending multiple classes throughout my stay in Pearland. The owner of the box contacted me personally and apologized and explained their practices. Im sure this is a very good business I just received a different side. read more

My humble review of Crossfit Armada is as follows The good- I cannot really think of anything other than the gym is clean and there is usually (emphasis on usually) enough equipment. Some of the equipment needs to be fixed though. Some of those bumper plates are about to go and meet the bumper plates gods above since they are badly cracked and are 10 drops away from cracking permanently. I tried hard to find something good to say because I really wanted to give this place a chance. The bad- Price- The place is probably one of the most expensive if not THE most expensive crossfit location in the pearland/friendswood area. Owners- The owners do not have any formal degrees regarding sports medicine or sports education AND they both teach a majority of the classes. Taking a weekend L1 course or any crash course on the weekend does not make someone qualified to teach weightlifting- period. Many people are not conditioned to perform highly technical lifts that require the greatest degree of precision like those done in Crossfit or weightlifting (Clean and jerks, snatches, deadlifts, the list goes on), and should you be one of those people, do not attempt to do that without the supervision of a coach that knows what they are doing. It takes years to master these types of lifts and to do them for weight or for time without qualified coaches is dangerous. One of the owners does not seem to care about her job and the other one is too overzealous. The other coaches are just ok but that leads me to Injuries- It seems like everyone here is hurt or injured or has something wrong with them, however major or minor, whether it be from crossfit for not. When I say everyone, believe it or not that also includes the owners and/or coaches. Not one single shizzznet is given by the owners because they are in the Crossfit business, duh! Class size: My personal opinion is that there needs to be more coaches on the floor during the busier classes or special events like Murph or whatever they do. Coaches that work out during a class is complete nonsense. WHO is watching YOU and your form so that you don't drop a barbell on yourself (and yes that has happened at this place, a few times). Dropping barbells on oneself has been laughed at by at least one of the owners. And there you have it folks! Choose your gym facility wisely. read more

This place is amazing!!! I honestly couldn't found a better place to start my new CrossFit journey. CrossFit Armada's clientele & coach Melissa has made my new experience truly enjoyable. Everyone is super inspiring and very supportive. Definitely a place I would highly recommend for anyone at any fitness level. I'm truly pleased and couldn't be happier being a member of CrossFit Armada. read more

I have been doing crossfit for around 4 years and have been to countless boxes around the world. Crossfit Armada is among one of the best I have been at for various reasons. 1. The facilities are clean, large and well maintained. 2. The community is loving and supportive and down to earth. 3. The workouts are programmed well. 4. The coaches love fitness and want to share their love with everyone. 5. They have a variety of classes, (crossfit, OLY, yoga) For anyone who is intrigued I highly suggest you try Armada. You may be a bit shy at first but the community will certainly embrace you. read more

I recently joined crossfit Armada with my husband and we really love it! The facility is brand new and all the equipment is spanking new. My husband is new to crossfit and he really enjoys that the coaches take the time to acclimate him crossfit. We both feel comfortable and like that the coaches are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Also I have a daughter so it is nice that they have a kids room for when I bring her with me. Just not what you usually see at most Crossfit gyms around town. This is the best facility in Pearland. The professionalism and customer is also impressive. When I first started looking for a crossfit gym in Pearland, I called Pearland Crossfit ready to pay for personal training packages and sign an annual contract. They never answered the phone. They took forever to call me back and when they did, they told me that they were busy and would call me back in 15 mins. He forgot to call me back and ended up calling me 8 hours later. Turns out the guy is a full time lawyer and he has other people working under him at the crossfit gym. So really he is not even there to know what the schedule is like. No one ever called me back so I decided to look elsewhere and boy am I glad I did! Crossfit Armada was the best choice I ever made. You will not regret it if you are looking for a true crossfit facility with coaches who actually work there answering the phone, GO TO CROSSFIT ARMADA!!!! By the way, the wods are fantastic! read more

I joined Armada only a few weeks after it opened, and I was a member for 1 year and 8 months (until April 2014). I originally had a five star review on Yelp, but I decided to withdraw it when I left Armada because I didn't want my review to be responsible for bringing in more people to Armada. It took me a while to finally write this review, but I feel sharing my experiences may benefit current/future members. So here it is. Safety: There has been an alarming number of injuries at Armada. Although some of them were "freak" type of injuries and were hard to prevent, many of them would have, and should have, been prevented with proper coaching. We are all responsible to know our own limit, but it is very easy to get carried away in CF and I firmly believe it is also coach's responsibility to make sure members handle weights/reps within their capability. The owners/coaches (I'll call them Coach1 and Coach2 in this review) are very good at pushing people, and that's good, but they don't seem to know when to hold back people when it gets to a dangerous level. This was especially evident during the CF Open season in March. When I decided to leave Armada, I sent the owners a long email, pointing out those injuries and how they could have been prevented. I got a reply from Coach2 saying she refused to discuss those injuries because they did not happen to me (really, do I have to wait until I get hurt if I want to express my concern??), and although Coach1 did not send me a reply, he un-friended me on Facebook. I know my email was probably hard to read and must have hurt their feelings, but somebody had to bring up these issues to them, and I emphasized that I was writing that email out of friendship and love and because I sincerely cared about them and other members' safety. One more thing about safety. Coaches allowed little kids to be present in the workout area (I donated a safety fence but it wasn't used much). I remember while I was doing a Turkish Getup with a kettle bell, a 2 year old boy came walking towards me. If I were to lose my balance, I'd have to drop the kettlebell on the floor to make sure it wouldn't fall on my head, but with a little kid around me, I would not be able to do that. I yelled for Coach2 and she eventually noticed and got the kid away. Kids should not be allowed in the workout area. Coaching: I was always in Coach2's 8:30 classes, and I did not find her a good coach. The problem is, she cannot do many CrossFit movements, like pull-ups (not even Kipping) and ring-dips. Not even a single rep. So she cannot demo those movements, and I find that a big limitation. Sometimes I got lucky and Coach1 worked out with us, and he was able to coach me on those movements. But that was not every time I was there, so it took me a long time to master those movements. Also, Coach2 did not correct my form (although she herself has good form). I still remember, six months into CF at Armada, we had a new coach (BTW she was a fantastic coach but she no longer coaches at Armada) saw me lift and told me my back was not arched correctly. And I saw myself videtaped, and she was right! The question is, why did Coach2 not correct my form in those 6 months, ever!? This new coach corrected my forms on other movements, too, and I am so glad she did, before I hurt myself because of bad form. Also, Coach2 could not give me advice on what weight to use in WODs. Whenever I asked, she'd say "I don't know, you should know." Well, she coached me 4-5 times a week, is it too much to expect her to be able to advise me on weights, at least give me a percentage based on my 1 time max?? Coach1, on the other hand, was a very good coach, though. I learned good forms from him, proper way to do some of the advanced movements, and he was also able to give me advice on weights. Punctuality: Classes always started 5-10 minutes late. Often the reason for the delay was because people (including Coach2) were busy chatting. Summary: My experience at Armada was not all bad things. Like I wrote above, I learned good forms from Coach1 and I got really strong quickly. Also, their facilities are very nice; the place and the equipment are clean, and they have fancy CF gadgets. And I liked their programming; they have longer WODs to work on your endurance every now and then. But I think the lack of safety is a major flaw for any CF box, and because of that, I do not want to recommend Armada to anybody. I hope current members will think twice before renewing their membership, and consider going to a different box with more experienced owners/coaches before they get seriously hurt. And I sincerely hope Armada will change and one day become a safer place to CF. If that happens, I'll be happy to revise my review. read more

What a waste of my lunch break. I decided to do a lunch time drop in since I am temporarily in the area for work. Earlier that day, I checked the schedule and their system said that classes were still on. All is well right? WRONG! I spent 15min to get to the gym, got there about 11:45 for the noon class. Decided to get there early so I can change clothes and stretch. I waited. And waited. And waited a little longer. No one showed up. No sign outside sayin class is cancelled. Nothing. Wow did I feel stupid. WTF? I even called twice earlier in the week and no one answered. I have dropped in to several other boxes and have never experienced this before. Every place I have gone to simply requires that I show up, pay the drop in fee, and get a good workout. Apparently, this place does not jive with what I believe is pretty standard business? Long story short is I ended up getting myself a big fat juicy Whataburger down the road for my lunch and I wasted nearly an hour of my life on Armada. So the highlight of my day is a freaking burger, double stacked, extra bacon, extra cheese. Yum yum. Lol. Because the burger cured my insatiable hunger and sad feelings of not being able to work out as I had planned I will reluctantly give this place 2 stars instead of 1 and recommend for people to go to a more reputable place that actually answers the phone and that is open during the hours they claim to be open. read more

I have been coming to Crossfit Armada for almost 2 years. Choosing Armada was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was new to Crossfit (and getting in shape period), however the Armada coaches and family oriented atmosphere made me feel welcome from day one. The encouragement you get here, from both coaches and fellow workout friends, will inspire you to keep coming back and achieve your fitness goals. I look forward to exercise and never thought in a million years I'd say that! Highly recommend! read more

This is a place where it's truly so much more than simply crossfit. It started with the fundamental course which got myself ready to begin. Melissa did an amazingly no job of making sure I wouldn't just drown during mugwort WOD. I did not take long before it was an addiction. Not only did I enjoy the workouts, but you become like family. There is nothing but encouragement offered the entire time and although you are working separate everyone in there is a team. All of the coaches: Esteban, Chau, Melissa, and Val make the experience an even greater investment. If it weren't for an injury I would be there daily still. But if looking for a family to work out with then this is your place!! read more

I started Crossfit 3 years ago, thinking that I got a really good Groupon deal. Well, I got more than that, I became part of an extraordinary community. Our coaches are great, very supportive and knowledgeable. The owners - Esteban & Chau put their hart in every single aspect to make Armada a great place not only to workout, it is a place where you find encouragement, motivation, commitment and a wonderful group of people, I have found my WOD-family. If you are looking for more than just having a good workout, join our community- Crossfit Armada, it is nice, comfortable & fun. Great environment! Highly recommended :-) read more

CrossFit Armada has been outstanding! The first day my daughter and I walked in to obtain general information, we were greeting with kindness by Valeria. She answered many of our questions and was very knowledgeable. I contacted Estaban the following day with additional questions and he was very responsive. The gym is very well maintained, clean, organized and spacious. We have never felt out of place even though we are new. We visited several other CrossFit locations in and around Pearland and one really didn't want to give us information (I Guess we didn't meet their model), another never returned my call for information even after leaving multiple messages and others just did not give us the welcoming and inviting feeling that CrossFit Armada gave us. The coaches are focused on safety, technique and providing a positive experience. Keep up the excellent service CrossFit Armada. You are a class act! read more

this place is great. I appreciated the attention I got from the coaches and Esteban's programming is on point. the facilities are wonderful, and everyone is very friendly. I started doing crossfit here and everyone made me feel welcome...I was too intimidated at other gyms! highly recommend! read more

Delivery drivers where nice. Thats about as good as it gets with this company. Customer service is rude. I was left on hold for over 10 minutes only to be disconnected.It seems like they use cheap products from china. The underpads are paper thin. The billing dept is even worse. I received a collection notice, after I paid I received another collection notice a few months later and was told that the insurances bill late so they don't know about a pending balance until after they receive the final claim. It really didn't and still doesnt make sense. You will be better off with another medical equipemnt company. (F-) read more

I did not like the atmosphere of the competition. The judges were not consistent and it took too long to post final scores when the scoring was supposedly real-time. Most importantly, I witnessed a competitor fall from the pullup rig and land directly on her back. The owner of crossfit armada was present and closeby but it took time for him to take any action. I find this unacceptable. read more

Let me start by saying that I am a current member and have been going here for several months now. There is a particularly horrible coach that teaches in the mornings. She will say cliché phrases like "Keep moving", "Go _(insert name)__!", "Good job", in between looking up from reading her phone or some classes she uses the ipad - in-the-middle-of-a-wod! Are you joking me? I pay good money to come to this place for a "coach" to do this? How about you actually try and coach us and maybe watch my form instead of text or facebook? Because who cares if I blow out my back or fall from the pull up rig or trip over a barbell. But, its all good. We all signed a waiver sooooo? NO wonder why so many end up hurt at this gym. I would have complained to someone about it, but she is the owner. Really and truly, as a coach, but especially as an owner- You owe everyone in the class, from warm up to cash out your undivided attention. Bottom line is do NOT go here. There are better gyms/coaches at other places that don't treat their customers as if the customer is disturbing their social media time. 0 stars!!! read more
