I came here this past weekend for the CrossFit L1 Seminar for the purpose of getting my L1 Trainer Cert. This gym is so big and the drive over here from LA was really nice! This gym was so accommodating, they had coffee brewed to perfection for us, an endless bowl of trail mix of nuts and hard-boiled eggs. The gym was closed this past weekend for its members so we could come to take the class. Thanks for hosting CF Monrovia. They have a lot of equipment here, the gym is neat and organized, bathrooms are clean and it's nice and bright with a lot of air flow. I had a great time taking the course here. read more

Crossfit Monrovia - Wish me luck - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Monrovia, California

This gym is spacious, clean and offers many classes even over the weekend. During pandemic all of my favorite studios were out of business and I've decided to join CFM in February. This is the best decision I've ever made this year! This is a great community with great trainers and members. Everyone is friendly and no judging! Each class trainers ensure to watch your forms and correct you to avoid unnecessary injuries. My 7pm class was small size and so far I had coach Ryan and Stephanie which are both professional and knowledgeable. They don't push you to lift heavier or PR in every workout but they care about your techniques and encourage you to gradually increase weights/reps. I do love this gym a lot and I love running around the buildings and neighborhoods. It's quiet, safe and located in the heart of monrovia so every time I have a choice I would go out and run! (Instead of rowing or biking) I would recommend everyone who wants to be back in shape or is a challenge lover to try this gym. 5 stars! **Im also very surprised how one of the reviewer JB J. got his level one certified. I do appreciate Ryan or any other coach to stop my workout and correct my form. If no one shows me the perfect form I might have a back pain next day. If you think this is criticism you might want to get certified for Zumba or yoga at 24 hr fitness next time. read more

Fun times! I joined about over a month ago and it's been a blast. It seems most people join through word of mouth, which is always the best. The trainers are awesome and they're there to help you to complete the works outs the right way. Besides the trainers, the fellow crossfitters really make this place rock! read more

Great facilities. I joined for a few months and then left. I didn't like the frequent criticism and over coaching by Ryan and Caesar. The criticism was them correcting anything less than perfect form relentlessly even after I told then I'm level one certified and I did it a certain way (for 10 years I've been in crossfit) due to mobility restrictions. They would also stop my workout to criticize anything less than perfect form. The under coaching was how they would have you warm up for the class. They would give little info on what weight to use and how long it had to warm up. There were great coaches like Steve who gave great tips and when he was coaching he was motivating. Ryan and Caesar coached most of the times I would attend, so I decided to find another box than begin the day frustrated. read more

Dropped in at Crossfit Monrovia as an out-of-town guest. I felt so welcomed here and enjoyed my experience. It's evident why members like being here, and the class times are so flexible for any schedule. I'm looking forward to coming back in a couple months when I visit again! read more

I love Crossfit Monrovia. Wanted to start working out again. My cousin has been doing crossfit for years now and always sings its praises. After doing some Yelping came across this place and gave them a call. Spoke with one of the owners Cesar and he explained their whole mentality and program. I was invited to take one of their free Sunday classes that gives you an intro to the crossfit workout. I must say i was dead after my free workout. They did an excellent job of showing what kind of routines they did each day. So now its been 6 months and I must say I'm glad i chose this place over some of the competators in the area. This place has a more family feel to it and doesnt make you feel unwelcome. If you are looking for a great group of people to get in-shape with then give Crossfit Monrovia a try. Bonus. They give free nutritional advice and tracking if you want it. read more

What a place. My wife and kids where just going to visit the area and pulled into Crossfit Monrovias' parking lot on a "Sunday". Surprisingly the doors were open and they were just finishing some type of workout. We were flagged in by one of the guys and he told us to come on in and check it out. We parked and walked in, we were met by an amazing gentleman 'Bob'. He gave us a short explanation of Crossfit. After that they began to start another workout and we truly saw what an amazing challenge Crossfit is. We haven't joined due to other commitments. The facility was amazing and let me tell you this 50 year guy 'Bob' ripped his shirt off and my wives eyes doubled in size I knew it was time to go. Ripped abs, muscles and more muscles. Thank you Crossfit Monrovia for you friendliness and hospitality. read more

I can't believe I have yet to review this place! I absolutely love crossfit monrovia! The coaches are extremely knowledgable and helpful, and everyone is so supportive and encouraging. I have been coming here for a little over a year, and not only have I lost weight, but I made huge gains in strength and have accomplished so much more than I ever thought possible. Crossfit can be a bit intimidating, but I never felt pressured or felt any negativity. The coaches focus on form which is some important when dealing with barbells and Olympic lifts. I 100% recommend crossfit monrovia for anyone looking to get fit, meet some great people, and have a great time! read more

Big, clean, friendly and super effective. Took me a year to gather up the courage and give it a go. Just do it.

I've been a member of CrossFit Monrovia, "The Energy Lab" since inception. The training schedule is great, the workouts are challenging, and the atmosphere is positive. The classes take place in a group setting which creates a unique environment of accountability and fun. Along with an incredible workout I've befriended some great people in the community. The workouts consist of mastering your own body weight with skills such as push-ups, pull-ups, and squats. Weights are throw into the mix with kettle bell swings, deadlifts, and snatches. The workouts are intense and demand well trained instructors to lead the way. Speaking of the instructors, they are professional, respectful, and experienced. I trust them completely to look after my best interests and to guide me through my fitness goals. They don't ask us to do anything they haven't done themselves. I'm in the best shape of my life, and I highly recommend "The Lab" to anyone who is looking to develop their overall fitness capabilities. You'll become faster, stronger, and healthier. read more

Most of people would say crossfit is not as efficient as traditional old school style work out when it comes to muscle gaining, but hey, crossfit helps muscle gaining dramatically, and also it is fun and cheap! Some may say the crossfit costs more than regular gym but don't forget the fact that you get a personal trainer all the time. (if you get a personal trainer at regular gyms, your monthly access fee + personal trainer fee would be way more than cost of monthly crossfit.) Plus, it is fun. Most of people give up working out at traditional gym because it is BORING! But this place will never make you bored, in fact it will make you sexy and willing to go there everyday. read more

This is kind of a review of Crossfit in general, but I believe that my experience with Crossfit has been what it is specifically because of being at Crossfit Monrovia! I'll be completely, embarrassingly honest. Not that long ago, I kind of thought Crossfit was for muscly, aggressive, self-obsessed dudes, and super-competitive women who wear a full face of makeup to the gym and rip each other to shreds with catty gossip later on. I was... scared of it. I hated "exercising" and had never found anything that really fit for me, in 28 years of hating P.E., hating team sports, hating yoga classes that pushed the limits of my ADHD, hating just doing things for no reason. But someone in my life who has done Crossfit for a long time started to explain it to me, and he explained that it is the fastest, most efficient, and healthiest way for any person to get stronger, gain endurance, and to increase fitness along many different important axes. He also wondered if it might help a lot of the physical aches and ailments that kept me from enjoying my life as much as I could be. One day, I just decided I was going to try Crossfit and see whether it was "too much" for me as I suspected. In the LA area in general, the market is pretty saturated as far as Crossfit gyms go. You can't walk three blocks without being smacked in the face with a barbell, so to speak. A lot of them are all about GRAAARRRR, etc. (and that's fine for people who appreciate that) but when I found out about Crossfit Monrovia, and saw that they have a kids'/family program, encouragement, and a real community built together, I knew it was much closer to my own values and interests. Crossfit is like nothing else, and it was surprising how easy it was to fall totally in love with it. Don't get me wrong... the first week, I did my intro class on Saturday morning and then did all my foundations lessons after work (the trainers give one-on-one or small group lessons to help those new to Crossfit get some of the physical movements, because they want to be sure you're not going to hurt yourself trying to deadlift 500 lbs and snap in half like a little twig), I was SORE AS F*CK, and it was constant, every moment of every day. But for some reason, I was hooked and couldn't wait to go back to learn something new each time. I'm about three months in, now, and I am truly amazed the huge changes I've noticed in myself. I'm not talking about "omg guys I got soooo skinnyyy and I'm so hot nowww" or "yep, I wear makeup to the gym every day now too!" I'm talking about steadily and significantly increasing my endurance, stamina, flexibility, strength. I am talking about feeling strong and confident. I am talking about doing things that, before I try, I think "that's going to be impossible" and then I do them and it's not actually that difficult and I realize I'm now turning into a superhero. And the trainers! I was scared they would be mean or yell at me for doing things wrong, but what really happens is that they encourage me **every single time** I struggle, they try their best to help, they notice when I improve and tell me I should try to scale it up to a harder version of the same thing. They are funny, they are silly, they are smart, they kick ass at Crossfit, and they are always wanting to help in a way that never puts anyone down. They are the biggest reason I keep coming back. If they were all about bootcamp-style screaming and putting me down to "inspire" me to do better, I'd have walked out and I might never have even tried Crossfit again, because it would have confirmed the stereotype. But these are good people who love Crossfit and want to share it with others, in a way that makes it a positive experience for everyone. And the people! There are whole families who do Crossfit together, there are couples, there are single people, there are groups of friends! What I maybe didn't anticipate is that when you're a new person, even if you don't know anyone there, you'll be one of those people in a group of friends in no time. There's very little negativity, and a lot of encouragement and support. Even if you're generally a sort of introverted, shy, keep-to-yourself person, you'll love the welcoming attitude that will make you feel like you're part of something here. Price is awesome compared to many CF gyms! Trainers are all knowledgeable and experienced! People are nice! Lots of class times available! You can have access to support on nutrition! You will laugh and have more fun than you even thought was possible while working out! read more

Not your average gym. If you're looking for a gym filled with meat heads and girls with make up on then this is not the gym for you. Amazing trainers and great people to work out with. It can be intense but well worth it. read more

The experience at CrossFit Morovia has been mind bending. This is an absolutely amazing place to workout. I happened upon it by accident and have had nothing but a positive experience. All coaches are super nice and very knowledgeable, and the members are friendly and encouraging. Simply the best. read more

As a masters athlete, they provide the training (expert coaches) and support required to reach your goals. Tons of individual training on technique that I had been lacking - the push/encouragement to do better and be the best you can be is there and sincere. I cannot think of better place to call home and who got me to the Masters Qualifier for the Cross Fit Games. read more

Fantastic box! Lots of space, clean equipment, friendly and welcoming staff, and offers one heck of a workout! Whether you're a first time Crossfiter or a well seasoned one, Crossfit Monrovia will push you to be a better athlete than you ever thought possible. read more
