Just dropped in this morning to "Above the Bar" and had a great workout. Jack the owner began with…read morea group warm up and some excellent shoulder mobility drilsl. After the warm up fun we went through some great Snatch progression to ensure that our class was on point with with our form. I'm always happy to cover the ins and outs of lifts that we will be doing in our workouts; performing these drills makes me realize that for so many years I've been lifting all wrong and with no true guidance. Jacks hospitality was top notch and only surpassed by his coaching ability I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town. I highly suggest that if you are interested in becoming a healthier better "you" that you make Crossfit Above the Bar your first stop.

I was in town visiting my parents from DC and needed to get a workout in, so I started researching…read moregyms in FWB and contacting them about drop in policies. Crossfit Above The Bar was the only one of three gyms that I called and/or emailed that actually contacted me back. So they were the winner and I'm feeling really lucky that's where I ended up because it was such a great experience. Jack greeted me and got me set up quickly, then introduced me to Gabby and asked her to pair up with me and show me around. It was Saturday so we did a team WOD and it was a great workout. Everyone at this gym was so friendly and hospitable... I can't say enough about how great they were. Sometimes it can be a challenge just to walk into a box and feel like you're part of the crew, but that was not the case. From now on, when I'm in town visiting family I will make Crossfit Above the Bar my gym away from home.

If you are looking for an experienced crossfitter to evaluate these workouts, I am not your gal…read more If, however, you are interested in how I felt as a socially awkward female working out in such an intense environment for the first time...then I am an expert. I haven't had a chance to become a CrossFit disciple yet, so I figured I'd leave a review. Please, ladies, do not feel intimidated to try this gym. From the moment I walked through the door, the gym owners were asking me about my expectations, goals, and comfort level. Not only did I leave this gym stronger--like, I actually could feel my hamstrings and glutes firing after one adjustment from my coach--I felt genuinely heard. I spoke to several of the women in passing, and each one gave me a friendly smile. Also, I was amazed to see that all four kiddos--all safely strapped into strollers and watching from the lobby--stayed content through the workout. I am not a mom, but I was impressed! Also, I hope that the sweet boy I met today is not the one being bullied by a grown woman on Yelp. He was very respectful while his mom was speaking to me, obedient when she asked him to wait a moment before unbuckling him from his stroller, and answered all my questions about his favorite dinosaurs articulately. I am excited and hopeful about calling this my home gym!

I am a very shy person and have a hard time in new social situations, but this was seriously the friendliest, most welcoming group of people. The gym overall has such a chill vibe, but the energy is definitely there to get you through the WOD. Everyone was so supportive of each other and constantly motivating. For anyone looking to drop it, definitely read their website first. Your pass is only good for 7 days from the date of purchase, you have to download a couple of apps to reserve your spot (which is required) and see the WOD, which is released at 5 PM the day prior. This will be my go to gym from now on while in town!

As a self conscious overweight male, the prospect of starting something like crossfit was daunting…read more I had never worked out on anything other than a treadmill or elliptical and I had two real concerns: Could I handle the workout? Would I feel judged if I couldn't handle the workout? From the very first class I learned that everyone there is at different fitness levels. I couldn't handle the workout as prescribed, but the coaches at Artisan work with you at your level and give you scaled (modified) motions so you can work up to more advanced techniques. I could handle that workout. What truly sold me on Artisan however was how comfortable I felt working out there. I have never felt like I didn't belong, that I was embarrassing myself, or that I was being judged. The coaches, to their credit, have a real knack for emboldening thier members with a positive attitude, and that alone is worth the price of admission. Add to that the care coaches take to adjust your form on a personal level, and a culture of family. Simply put, if I move away from Dothan, I'm going to have my work cut out for me replacing Artisan.

But you must pay up front for the privet lessons so you will be ready for the group lessons. Then the trainer cancels and doesn't show up for the privet lessons. Also doesn't return calls or texts. When I expressed my concern they told me it was because of....... (wait for it)........Covid. This "Covid" excuse occurred today, (July 6th 2022) for calls/texts not returned and lessons that were canceled within the last couple of months. The owner also humiliated me and told me to leave when I told him his "Covid" excuse" was dubious. I'm much older than the average age. "athlete" there. He said he'd give me my money back. I can only pray. With his way of thinking this is doubtful. They most likely will keep much more money than they should. Stay away unless your willing to go along with every arrogant extra charge and lack of follow through they dish out. If you attempt to hold them responsible for what they promise and what you pay for, they will be difficult. Especially if you are an older out of shape women like me. XFit is supposed to be nice and good and sweet and accepting. This place just wants your money, or in my case just wants my money and doesn't want to follow through with what I pay for. Or will actually kick me out when I try to hold them accountable. They want your money and don't want to give you what you pay for and then they want to blame you for trying to get what you pay for. And still still, it's all because of .... COVID.
