I moved to Merced during the pandemic and struggled to find a gym that I felt could be a place of community and a place where my trainer was passionate with helping me achieve my goals, until I met Justin. He is so knowledgeable with his movement anatomy that I always walk out of my sessions feeling strong rather than feeling beat up and depleted (but don't get me wrong- his workout will get your heart pumping and your body sweattttin!). He listens when you have injuries and very versed in giving you options for modification that produces the same results. I've been consistently going to his group training weekly for a few months now and I have felt such a difference in how I move my body at work. I'm not easily tired after working and see a progression in my strength in how I am carrying my body in space. I felt such a difference that my husband and brother in law are now consistently coming along! I highly recommend Justin's classes for anyone who is looking to improve their lifestyle and physical resilience- especially when your job requires hard labor- he will help you build your strength to keep your body's momentum. The location is very convenient downtown with tons of parking on the street or the back lot, they just did a glow up and the vibe inside the studio is energetic and empowering. See you next Thursday WPT! Thank you for what you do!

The good: The workouts are varied and each exercise has two or three different "levels" you can…read morechoose from depending on your goals and level of fitness. The breaks are quite short, allowing you to push yourself. I appreciate that the coaches are friendly and helpful to correct you when you're doing an exercise wrong and help you to get the most out of each workout. The equipment is all in good condition and cleaned after each exercise; you are expected to clean each area yourself, and they provide towels and disinfecting spray to do so. The meh: It's quite warm inside; I believe if they set the AC to turn on before classes started, that would solve the issue. Some of the coaches are more interactive than others.

I have not only gotten in the best shape of my life, but I continue to push myself and achieve goals I never dreamed possible. The trainers are the most motivating and supporting group of people. I have developed life long friendships here and they all have truly become family. If you are looking for a great work out that will KICK YO BUTT daily, with the best support and motivation CFPB is the place to get it. You learn to never say the words 'can't' or "I will never" because at CFPB you will push beyond anything you ever though possible to realize that there is even more you can do!!! Best CF box in the Central Valley!

Of close to dozen boxes this is the second time in my 3 years crossfitting that I've given a 5 star review. This box is well organized, with a large and thoroughly developed facility with everything a crossfitter could need. The classes start and end on time every time! (typically my big complaint with Crossfits). The coaches are knowledgeable and well versed in the Olympic weight lifting aspect of Crossfit (another typical complaint of mine). What I appreciated the most is that they were just as willing to help me, a visitor, as they were their very own, regularly attending members. This is probably my biggest complaint when I visit boxes. I attended for almost two weeks on the weekdays at 4 or 6pm. I very much enjoyed the coaches Renee and Scott, they both had wonderful things to add to my technique in addition to being very motivating during workouts. The members are friendly, the workouts are constructed VERY well with a warm up and cool down EVERY workout (yet another one of my top complaints about other boxes). This box also is big on education! As we all know getting fit isn't JUST about working out but eating right. This box has resources available for diet, workouts away from home, and various record and skill logs for members (online and paper logs). I would highly recommend this box to ANYone. I could only hope that someday I have a box like this one where I settle down.

What really sets this gym apart from others I've been to is how involved and supportive the coaches are. From day one, they made me feel welcome and encouraged. They take the time to explain the exercises, make sure you're doing them correctly, and truly help you get the most out of each workout. One extra touch that really stands out is how involved the owner, Danny, is. He actually takes the time to check in with you, see how things are going, and make sure you're feeling supported. Even the motivating emails make a difference -- they help keep you accountable and remind you why you're showing up in the first place. This gym feels less like a place you just work out and more like a community that actually cares about your progress. Highly recommend if you're looking for encouragement, guidance, and a place that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

I was recently reminded that I've been a member at Excel for seven years now- crazy how time flies!…read moreI first joined this gym to train with the competitive athletes but was surprised by how much I fell in love with the gym and its incredibly positive and uplifting community. Community is a big deal here, and building it is one of the main focuses of the gym. The coaches are also great at providing knowledgeable/personalized feedback. I know people are hesitant to invest in a CrossFit membership ($$) but coming from someone who's paid for multiple gym memberships and barely used them, this one is definitely worth it. The value is in having a whole community help push you towards your fitness goals. So many days I didn't feel like training but then started working out with friends and all of a sudden, it's like you're playing a game. Everyone is beyond friendly here and finding people willing to suffer through a WOD with you is pretty easy. If you want to have fun and improve your health and fitness in the process, I'd definitely recommend Excel for you.
