I purchased a Living Social deal for 12 classes here and it was one of the best deals I've purchased through them! I have heard so much about CrossFit from a coworker and was curious as to what it entailed. Seeing the transformation in her, inspired me to give it a try. They have classes that are specifically for the newbies and there are several classes to meet your daily schedule. I never had the luxury of playing any sports in school while growing up so it was really intimidating at my first class. After a good solid hour of sit ups, push ups, pull ups, etc, I was beat! Although on my drive home I felt as if I was going to die, but something in those classes make you come back for more! Adam, the owner is really patient and down to earth. He was really great in inspiring and pushing me to meet my potential. He encourages you to meet your personal best each and every time I've gone there. When you meet him, you can tell that this is a trainer who is in it to make people feel good and isn't just about gaining popularity. In the end, you get this feeling of self confidence and empowerment that no surgery, designer jeans, expensive jewelry, fancy car, etc. can fulfill. That my friend, is Priceless! The exercises can be intense but you do them at your own personal pace, in the end, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish, I know I was! read more

Can't knock it until you try it. If you introduce yourself than the coaches will certainly guide you from there. I recently moved and was looking for a new crossfit gym and came across ECHELON on Instagram. I sent a dm sharing my interest and was invited to come in and meet coach Adam as well as try out their classes. I have yet to meet a member who is anything less than encouraging. Each coach has taken the time to introduce themselves as well as provide helpful feedback on lifts, movements, and recovery. This gym is also the cleanest crossfit gym I have ever been inside!! Each class finishes with wiping down their equipment and space. Beyond grateful for stumbling across this gem. read more

I was enticed to try out CrossFit Echelon as this box is highly recommended by a good friend. Being brand new to CF I had no idea what I was in for. This is the first box I ever visited & the most worth it Groupon deal I've ever purchased. I've always considered myself "kind of" in shape, however I had no idea how much stronger and physically healthy I could be. Im a short & petite girl so I felt intimidated at first but the encouragement, energy, &honest effort put forth by the CFE community is very inspirational. Everyone is so friendly and genuinely in a great mood. After the first couple of classes I was sore for days with bruises all over my body yet I want to go back for more.After a while my body adjusted and craved the challenge that each class provided. When going through the workouts, if the trainers notice that your form is off, they point it out immediately & correct you. Each of them (Adam, Mark, Beth & Jason) have their unique personalities but they each bring a lot of knowledge to the box. They focus on technique & help you avoid hurting yourself. They push you just enough to make sure you get the most out of the class-an awesome 1 hour of feeling like I'm going to die. read more

I love these guys. I'm 40 and have lower back issues along with asthma. The coaches are extremely helpful. They have been instrumental about doing the best YOU can do. No one barks at you like a drill sergeant, emphasis is placed on form and technique over throwing around heavy weights for the sake of weight. It's a different kind of exercise whereas going to the gym and doing a routine can get boring. These group classes are challenging, safe, and differ by the day. read more

Seven months ago I walked through your door, another tester of Groupon goods. I heard many skeptical things about crossfit but wanted to try it for myself. I was in desperate need of strength to maintain peak job performance but my motivation for self directed training was lacking. As an Athletic Trainer and Orthopedic Physician Assistant I've been in the industry for over 15 years. I've been to many fitness clubs and have never come across a personal trainer that I felt a) Knew more than I did about lifting and fitness, and b) That I felt confident giving my money to... Until now! My introductory class blew me away! I saw meaningful instruction with careful attention to technique and mindful motivation to reach beyond my comfort zone to gain the much needed strength, and that was just the intro class. Each coach has a unique way of reaching you to draw out the best you have to offer. But it's more than just a box with knowledgable coaches, it's a community of caring members who are equally excited and motivated for you to grow. Since then, I've achieved many personal strength records, chiseled my waistline, and best of all- gained the ability and confidence to safely maneuver in the operating room. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance, motivation and genuine concern for the achievement of my fitness goals. read more

The best advice I can pass along to ANYBODY and ANY- BODY is what was told to me November 2018 by a CrossFit Coach..... Give it three months of honest effort, if after three months it's not for you, then don't go..... I have been at it ever since. I started CrossFit Echelon in mid October, after leaving CrossFit 11th Parallel in Africa. After a month of down time, Adam and Brett have been amazing at getting me working hard again. THEY PAY ATTENTION- during class they see everybody and help correct form and instill the faith in you that you can go a little harder. Adam and Brett also stress proper form and advise the importance of not injuring your self due to fatigue and improper form. The morning class I go to has a solid group of good people. Everybody encourages each other and through the friendships made, you find yourself holding yourself accountable, by working harder and and committing yourself more. There are a lot of good Crossfit boxes out there, the deciding factors for me were: 10 day free trial- allowing me to see the culture of the gym Close to home- Lincoln to Rocklin There is a shower- if I am short on time, it's always an option But, the biggest reason again is the people. Give it three months and you'll stay so much longer! read more

I recently moved to Rocklin from living in the Bay Area most my life. It was a huge change for me and I had already planted my roots with a CrossFit location in the Bay. So my search for CrossFit locations in this area began. Let me tell you, they had really big shoes to fill. I tried a location in Folsom, wasn't feeling it. Then I went to Echelon. The first thing that struck me was how friendly coach Adam was and how he immediately reached out to me when I put feelers out. Before signing up, I met with Adam to discuss my goals and what I was looking for. I was impressed with his knowledge of fitness and he really seemed to care and want the best for me. Needless to say, I signed up that day. Once I starting going to the classes Adam was right there assessing my abilities and challenging me. That didn't stop, Adam is always so involved in the gym and has a really good handle on everyone's abilities. I love all the people in the classes, they are so friendly and we all cheer each other on. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and are friendly and really seem to care. Bottom line, Echelon filled those huge shoes and exceeded them! I can see myself being a member for life! So grateful for Echelon! If you give them a try you won't be disappointed!! read more

Ahhh...CrossFit Echelon. This review is a long time coming, but I feel compelled to write it. I am a long-time CrossFit junkie that has tried out, dropped in, and been a member of boxes all over the country. When I moved to the area, I checked out a handful. Without a doubt, this place is definitely my favorite CrossFit box in the area. The most important thing about a CrossFit facility is the vibe; because after all, you are going to spending time in the place to get in shape. If you don't want to go there...you won't. The vibe here is great, class sizes aren't too big/small, the facility is a good size, and the programming is varied. At Echelon, I hit personal fitness goals I have been aiming to achieve for years. Out of all the ones I tried out, this one felt like the best fit. Coaches were excellent; members were friendly and unpretentious. Even those new to CrossFit (who might be a bit nervous) received great treatment by the coaches and other members. The encouragement is there and that is huge! The biggest issue with me was the lack of evening & weekend programming. Most people can't get in there until after dinner time or do much until the weekend. I really wanted to get in there and get sweaty as much as possible. Hopefully the scheduling will change down the road. If you're new to CrossFit, new to the area, or just dropping in.. please do yourself a favor and check out Echelon. Adam and Company are an awesome group! read more

Absolutely love going to Echelon. I started my membership in May 2018 with a 10 day pass. I had my hesitations about doing Crossfit since I am a plus size woman and was worried about fitting into the Crossfit environment. After meeting coach Adam and coach Hunter, I realized that echelon is different from other gyms. I ended up signing up for a 9 month membership and have fallen in love with the community at the gym. I have seen the changes in my body, my strength, and my soul since starting at echelon. For anyone who is worried about joining Crossfit, echelon is the best place to start and had a great community of support. read more

CrossFit Echelon - Group photo from the 4th of July workout - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Rocklin, California

Adam and his team have been amazing to help me to where I am now compare when I joined several years ago. They have shown patience with any individual regardless of their skills. I also do admire the support from the Crossfit Echelon family. This is the place for anyone who wants to learn to have a better healthy lifestyle. read more

All my friends have been raving about CrossFit. They go to a different CrossFit (which I will not name). I'm someone who chooses to take the path less travelled, so when I saw the groupon for CrossFit Echelon I hopped right on it. I had my surrogate baby in July and I was ready to start getting back into shape in September. I've been going to the morning classes and Mark is great! I get a great workout and the atmosphere of the other people in the class is wonderful. Everyone is really nice and supportive. They changed the schedule around a bit so I now go in the afternoons. I'm also someone that hates change, so knowing that Adam does the evening classes, I was a bit nervous. Well, let me tell you, you cannot go wrong with any time that you go. These guys are amazeballs! The hour goes by so fast and you're getting such a great workout in, and I find myself constantly pushing myself to be better and faster. If you've been thinking about trying CrossFit, you will not be disappointed with these guys. read more

I was very interested in trying CrossFit, so when a Groupon showed up, I bought it. 16 classes later, I was SOLD. Echelon's coaches are the best. Adam and Mark are both very solid and knowledgeable, and you can tell that they are looking out for you. Something that stood out to me is how personal the classes are. I don't feel like I'm just another body going through the motions - I get one-on-one instruction, form checks, and (if necessary) modified workouts. If you're hesitant about CrossFit, no worries - there are plenty of beginner classes. You will learn the proper forms and techniques, and you will be steered down a path that will lead you to better overall fitness and a healthier lifestyle. Not only are you guaranteed a great workout every time, you're also going to get a positive environment where you won't be mocked or judged for any perceived inability. You will make friends and have fun while getting your butt kicked. And you will see results! I have been at CrossFit since Sept. 2013 and couldn't be happier - I feel great, I have seen my body change for the better. I shaved off 2 minutes of my 5k time (without training for running at ALL. 100% CrossFit.). I wholeheartedly recommend CrossFit Echelon! read more

Purchased a Groupon about a year ago, and went to several classes. For whatever reason, decided to hold off; then earlier this summer, while training for a marathon, I decided to add some strength training, and thought of Echelon. In short, this has become addictive. I work out here as often as I can (and my sore muscles allow). Adam and Katie are fantastic coaches, keeping you both grounded and motivated, and always pushing you just a little beyond what you thought you could... And oh, the marathon? I don't run anymore...I Crossfit! Robert C. read more

I bought a Groupon to CrossFit Echelon in July 2013 and more than three years later I can easily say its my second home! The coaching, classes, and people are great. I always tell people that I go 50% for the workout and 50% for the social aspect of it because I have met so many amazing people there that I can call true friends. When I first thought of going to CrossFit I was really scared because I had heard the classes were hard and I would watch video's and thought for sure there is no way I could ever do any of those lifts. But I knew that going to the gym and doing my own thing was not going to get me any lasting results. CrossFit Echelon works for me because the classes are structured, everyone is doing the same thing and you can learn from everyone, I am done in a hour and the workouts are challenging and really make you sweat! Come see what our 'cult' is all about! read more

Having recently moved from Sausalito to Lincoln, I needed to find a new box where I could call it my second home, like I called my Crossfit gym back in Sausalito. I have bought multiple Groupon deals to try out as many boxes around the area as I could. Went to various gyms but my search was done once I worked out at Crossfit Echelon. Adam and Mark were super attentive and welcoming on my first day. They are extremely knowledgeable, pushing you to do better each day, their approach is personalized to each individual's needs and they care about you. I found what I was looking for at Crossfit Echelon, the excellence in service and the sense of community. Super happy with my choice! read more

I found Crossfit Echelon while looking for a new challenge, I had been lifting and running for a few years and it had gotten stale. So I decided to try Crossfit, I sent emails and called a few different places but Adam was the first to get back to me, he called me that day and we set up a meeting to discuss my goals and any limitations I had. My shoulders have always been a weak point for me, my left one tends to give out if i push too hard. Adam and Hunter helped tailer my workouts to strengthen and protect my shoulder and now I don't have to worry about it during workouts. Whether you're looking to learn the basics of weight lifting, get in shape, or just looking for a new challenge like I was, i can't recommend Crossfit Echelon enough. They work with you to improve your weaknesses and grow your strengths, the coaches and atmosphere are fantastic, and other people in the classes are awesome. If you're thinking about trying Crossfit, give Adam a call, you won't regret it. read more

All exercises were explained clearly and we progressed from there. The trainers were amazing on point with all of the fixes I needed to improve my technique and power. Great atmosphere. read more

I am not one of those people who loves to exercise. I do it because it helps me physically and mentally. In addition to not loving exercise, I get bored easily. I've done about eight classes with CrossFit Echelon now, and I can definitely say I'm not bored. I got the Living Social deal so I could try it out without spending a ton of money or committing to a membership. I have a membership at Crunch (left a review there so I won't give my opinion again here) but rarely go. The first thing I noticed at CrossFit Echelon was that they had classes specifically set up for the Living Social customers, including an intro class. I love this concept. I knew nothing about Crossfit, had never done it before, and I would have been incredibly intimidated to just jump into a class with people who've been attending classes for awhile. You start with the intro so you can let Adam and Mark know what your goals are (why are you there, what do you expect, what do you want, etc.) and they can assess you. From there you take additional classes designed for those new to CrossFit. If you've done it before and/or pick up quickly, you'll get moved to the general classes. Need more direction or more time on skill development, you'll stay in the L.S. classes. Let me just say this is not the place for you if you don't want to work hard and be pushed to your limits. This is serious training. You will be forced outside your comfort zone at times. You'll be taught to listen to your body and not your mind. You will run, lunge, jump, pull-up, learn to lift weights. You will be encouraged and you will encourage others. I haven't met Mark yet, but Adam has been great. He's talked to me about what kind of shoes to buy, about how important it is to feed my body, and is always available to answer any questions I have. My take on these two men is that they are truly passionate about what they do and they want to help you in any way they can. They'll work with you around any limitations you have. They're insistent on teaching the correct way to do things and emphasize that doing 5 reps of something correctly is much more important than doing 15 reps incorrectly. They take your health and safety seriously. They want you to work at your personal best - no competition, just encouragement. They understand that last week your personal best was a 9 but something's going on this week and your personal best might be a 7. At the same time that they're pushing/motivating you, they are careful to let you know that you shouldn't try to go beyond your own abilities. Twice I've not been able to finish a workout because I'd pushed too hard too fast (and not been feeding/hydrating my body) and Adam made me stop. I probably would have kept trying and really hurt or exhausted my body. Bottom line? If you want to see what you're capable of, if you want to be pushed, if you're ready for an intense workout, go see Mark and Adam at CrossFit Echelon. read more

Welcoming, organized, clean, attentive and professional training is what sets Echelon apart from the rest. I decided to commit to Echelon after showing up to Coach Adam's beginner/intro class. This was a great opportunity to get familiar with the box and the fundamentals of Crossfit. After a year of learning Crossfit, I have grown tremendously. I now have skills that I thought I'd never get (i.e. rope climbing, double-unders, hand-stand push ups, etc...). That is all thanks to the fantastic coaches at Echelon, given their expert instructions following Adam's lead. I have been so excited about my experience at Echelon that I've convinced my 50 year old dad to join me for a couple WODs. Whether you are already an athlete or have never had a work out regime previously, Crossfit Echelon will give you the appropriate challenge to meet your needs and you will see results GUARANTEED! There are also other great opportunities to do outside the box like Tough Mudder and GoRuck! Both of which I would have not been prepared for if it wasn't for Adam. If you are looking for a challenge along with getting involved in an inspiring and supportive community give Echelon a shot. JUST SHOW UP! Tips: WODs can always be scaled down to suit your abilities Do not clean up until everyone is finished with the WOD, it's for the respect and camaraderie aspect Do not be afraid to ask for direction from fellow members as everyone had to start somewhere It will change your life for the better! read more

Adam is an awesome Coach. Unfortunately due to unpredictable working hours, it's hard to commit to a contract but my short time here was great! I enjoyed every class, it was challenging but I loved it, other members were friendly, and I really hope to come back soon... possibly a later evening class?? Anyhow, thank you guys for the hard work and motivation! read more

Adam and three other coaches are very patience, supportive, and persuade over my limitation of what I am doing and success my goal. That is what I like about them. Those classes are challenge and fun to see my own fat crying hard than normally. Again, this gym is a deaf friendly environment. read more

Great place that I highly recommend. I have really enjoyed my workouts there and I actually look forwarding to going to my workouts vs dreading them. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

A great gym! I have been going for about five months and love it! There is a great variety of coaches all good but getting different views on things really helps me to get to the next level. My strength is building a lot and I feel great. I use to have nagging lower back pain but after starting with these guys it has gone away. There are some people that say they've been injured doing crossfit but here at crossfit echelon the coaches want to know about the smallest things so they can modify and work through something with you. Bigger than that though is that the coaches will teach the right technique and stop you or alter anything you might be starting to do wrong. I suggest coming in the group at the gym is great everyone is supper encouraging and love to see newbies. Some crossfit communities can be intimidating but this one is in a league of its own! read more

Crossfit Echelon is an amazing gym. The community and atmosphere are top notch! They specialize in the beginner all the way to the advanced athlete and everything in between. The coaches are motivating, knowledgeable, and all around great. I definitely would recommend Crossfit Echelon! read more

I've tried multiple crossfit places and this is, by far, my favorite. The coaches are knowledgable, friendly, and always willing to give health and nutrition advice. The overall environment is very non-intimidating, and the people range from the ultra fit to the average couch potato (me). What I like most is that the people there are a community of support who all help and push each other. If you've ever been even the slightest bit curious about crossfit, check these guys out. read more

I came in VERY unfit, from a regular gym where I didn't know what to do. The knowledge I gained on the first day was amazing. Upon meeting with Adam and Mark I felt that they truly cared about me and my fitness goals. The motivation, respect and direction helped me to get fit fast. The challenging workouts are mentally and physically hard, but Adam and Mark are right there to coach and motivate you to get through it. I highly recommend Crossfit Echelon to get results! The workouts are usually under 30 minutes so you can get in and out fast, but feel like you had an amazing workout. If you want a gym where you feel like family and that you're truly cared for as an indiviual not just a membership then check them out. read more

My Husband and I bought a groupon which was a great deal. We will most likely buy a membership; the gym is clean and the people are all really nice. All the instructors are very informative and knowledgeable. I like the small class sizes which makes it feel like a personal training environment. Definintly one of the best work outs you will ever get! :) read more

So much to say! I was nervous to try crossfit, even after being in the gym much of my life. I bought a Groupon and went to try it out. I hadn't lifted too much after having my son, so it had been awhile. As a single mom, it was a struggle to get my ME time in. But I found it possible here! Adam was super helpful and made me feel welcome. I started out not knowing what I was doing, and Adam and the other coaches (Mark, Katie, Beth), were all amazing at guiding and teaching me how to do certain movements the correct way and also motivating me to be better. And everyone there has no ego, and everyone helps each other out. Lots of laughs and motivating one another! I got hooked fast! It became family. This Crossfit community is really special. I started going every day (5 days) and couldn't get enough! It helped me gain my strength back, and I felt much stronger and happier. I was able to do real push ups finally! And a 24' box jump yay! Lol. And I could finally run again without dying. lol It relieved a lot of stress and challenged me to be better. It helped me to push myself also mentally and I did an in house competition for fun! I love how much this gym is family. And Adam is focused on making it feel that way! Adam has a huge heart and just wants to truly help people. He will work with you, no matter where you're at coming in. He will always be willing to make you feel at home. I have made some incredible friends here, and love the events they put on like potlucks and outings. I feel blessed to have found this gym. Thanks for all your support and pushing me beyond what I thought I was capable of! read more

I have been working out for the last 25 years. I have been a certified personal trainer and worked out at many different levels personally. I highly recommend trying cross fit as a different level of training. And if you are going to make cross fit part of your personal fitness routine, go see the team at Cross Fit Eschelon, Adam, Mark and the other coaches are all amazing. They will push you to be the best you can be I highly recommend the coaches here as well as the atmosphere. read more

Have been a member here for about a year, even though I took a few months off. The culture at CF Echelon is phenomenal, the group training tops at 12 people per class and allows for focused instruction and help during the workouts. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, friendly (kinda like really athletic boy scouts) and aren't looking to fit everyone into a mold. It's a great challenge, a great environment, with really great people. read more

This is a great Crossfit gym! Adam, the coach, knows what he is doing and pushes you hard. As someone who has been doing Crossfit for over a year and a half, when I moved here I was disappointed with the gyms I tried until I found this one. Give it a try and find your peak physical fitness! read more

This box is amazing. The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The program is perfect for everyone. After just a few months with Adam's coaching, my overall health and fitness has gotten 100x better. I am in better shape at 34 than I was at age 25!!! Come check it out, it will change your life!!!! read more

Adam the owner is passionate, knowledgeable, and extremely patient. During classes I received personal and specific critiques to help me gain and grow. It's a fantastic gym. read more

(5stars) I give them a strong review not only to support, but to recognize Adam and Mark for their hard work in the business. Many sacrifices have been made to have an accessible and open space, with equipment for many different types of workouts. They take great care in ensuring the equipment and facilities are cleaned on a consistent basis with water and light snacks in case of emergency. They are great people which makes for a welcoming environment and also knowledgable not just in training (amrap, hero wods, body weight, chippers, endurance, etc) but also stretching, mobility, etc. (4stars) You could argue this location is geared more for "beginners" which they are transparent and upfront about. The members generally have only been in CrossFit for a limited time and may not have the advanced skill sets as more seasoned members at more established locations. Although the coaches actively participate in the workouts as well as having some stiff competition if you are into that kind of thing. Also I would say you get out what you put in so beginner, intermediate, and seasoned Crossfitters can find a home here. (3stars) I personally would not give them less than four stars, but if you hate the concept of CrossFit, if don't like working with groups of people, if you have a previous injury preventing you from this "style" you might not find much value here. Still they are great people at the end of the day. read more

I joined CE back in January 2015 and have been drinking the CrossFit juice since! Adam is a great coach and an even better guy. He truly cares about your well being and pushes you beyond your limits. The WOD's are always challenging and the environment is great. You will be pushed beyond your "limits" to get better and stronger but won't have to worry about stacking up against others. It's all about competing against yourself and getting better every day. I highly recommend this box to anyone who is looking to get into CrossFit or wants to try a new gym! read more

Simply awesome!! I enjoy every moment I am here. Coach Adam is a fantastic guy and so are all the trainers including Cody and Jason who provide amazing, disciplined, and fun workouts on a regular basis. These guys are just the best. They always change the routine up which makes it enjoyable. I love being a part of this box! I highly recommend CrossFit Echelon! read more

If you are looking for a great place to get serious about fitness this is the place to go! Crossfit Echelon is a perfect for an enviroment that is not competative, but inspires you to better yourself. The trainers are amazing, create a fun workout environment, and provide personal training within a group setting. I highly recommend that people from all walks of life give CrossFit Echelon a try! read more

Purchased a living social deal.Took about a month to get the owner to schedule a meeting. Once we had a meeting he checked out my gait and told me to try some vibram shoes. Seems very knowledgeable but more interested in my feet! Tried to schedule another appointment, and did not hear back. I do believe teaching goes on at this crossfit gym, which is rare to find but I was turned off by trying to be sold on shoes & supplements. Very unorganized and the owner is not very personable. Small place, clean, plenty of equipment, and I do believe owner is knowledgeable. Plenty of other crossfit gyms around. read more

Started going here through Groupon and have been going ever since. Mark and Adam are very knowledgeable and they provide personalized attention/plan to help reach one's health goals and growth. This Crossfit has a strong sense of community among its members and provides an environment that challenges you. Bottom line is they know what they are doing and are good at what they do. read more

After taking a free class with a friend, I purchased a Living Social, 12 class pass for next to nothing. I went to several classes over a 2-week period and felt like a bus had hit me, but also felt healthier, stronger, and motivated. I was hooked! Adam and Mark have their own teaching styles and both are great. They will modify the workouts, if necessary. They also push me past my self-imposed limitations and have corrected my lifting form as appropriate. I have learned how to fuel my body and Adam and Mark set great examples of healthy eating lifestyles that seem reasonable and true to life (they are not perfect!). I have also learned that I am strong, but slow, and Adam and Mark have been helping me with speed and endurance for more efficient and effective workouts without making me feel self conscious. You cannot go wrong with CrossFit Echelon...try it out! read more
