I contacted CrossFit Menawa to set up some personal Olympic weightlifting coaching. I have done CrossFit classes before but specifically wanted some personal attention on my weightlifting form. I was willing to pay extra for that attention.
CrossFit Menawa advertises personal coaching on their website, so I did not think it would be the problem it became. I e-mailed CrossFit Menawa and they told me to come by and talk to Craig, the owner, about it. I dropped by several times on different days but Craig was never there. Staff would tell me to come back at a day and time Craig would be in, I would return then, and he still wouldn't be there.
Then, even after I told the staff there I was only interested in some personal weightlifting coaching, not CrossFit classes, the staff still attempted to pressure me into the regular CrossFit classes. All I got was classic CrossFit sales pitch, which is fine, but is not why I was there. I don't know how attentive the staff can be if they ignore what you say and pressure you into something else.
I would avoid this gym between it's absent owner, dismissive staff, and obvious bait and switch sales techniques. read more
