    It's very expensive, then they force you to pay MORE money up front for privet lessons that will…read morebe scheduled "later". 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.

    In my Top 5 of gyms to drop in at in Florida (Been to over 30)! Will be back again! Great coaching…read moreby "Cuz" very helpful and a great leader!

    I am relocating from New England, I found Crossfit VU through the mainsite and went to their web…read morepage. When I showed up I was very surprised and excited because I have never seen so many people at a 0500 class!!!!! The 0600 class that I attended was very well Coached and I had a blast. Pros: CLEAN, great Coaching, easy to find, wide variety of equipment, not over priced, I saw a dog!!!!!!! Cons: I got sweat in my eyes because I forgot my hat.... I dunno that's about it. GO CRUSH A WORKOUT THERE!!!!

    So, let me explain why CFVU gets a 5 star rating from me, because ya'll know I don't just give them…read moreout... This was my first experience with CrossFit as well as my first official box. I LOVED IT. The owners, Fallon and Lex are the nicest and most awesome business owners {AND coaches} that I think any athlete could ever ask for. The gym is kept very clean (I have visited many boxes, and know that cleanliness can definitely be an issue), but not here. Also, the coaches go above and beyond to make sure that you feel at home - there's never really that awkward moment when people don't know who others are, so its intimidating. CFVU makes sure to make everyone feel welcome, no matter their level of fitness or familiarity with CrossFit. They also make sure that they check up on you if they haven't seen you in a while - they personally take time out of their day(s) to follow up with you and make sure everything is okay. You can't beat that. They also offer a sweet Yelp deal for checking in, and they offer military and first responder discounted monthly rates as well! The only CON I have about this box is the open gym times - since they are very closely knit with the owners and coaches, they cannot run open gym as often as I'm sure they would like (as well as you as a potential athlete here, would like). However, that is something I came to live with here, and I'm sure if they decide to add more staff and coaches later on, that the open gym times may increase. Not really make or break, at least not for me! I LOVE this gym, and I was super bummed to leave, but I had to move out of state. An amazing box, and super beginner friendly :)

    This gym is the standard by which I measure all Crossfit gyms. I have travelled all around the US…read moreand overseas and this is by far the gym that has the most integration of functional fitness, health, and community that I have ever found. I have since moved out of state and I have tried three different boxes in my town and none of them have held a candle to this place. Great equipment, HUGE facility and trainers who I would count as some of my closest friends. In regard to the previous reviews, let me address some of their gripes... For "Christine J," I don't know who she met when she came to the gym but Jordon is definitely neither narcissistic nor an a-hole (sorry, I like to keep my language cleaner than hers). He has a lot of people clamoring for his advice and attention at every workout because he is REALLY good at what he does. If she didn't think he had enough time to pay attention to her, perhaps the narcissistic shoe is on the other foot? As to what Kristen had to say, yes, I belonged to the gym. Yes, I wore Lululemon shorts (not pants because it's hot as heck in the Florida panhandle by Memorial Day... were you really there then because I don't see ANYONE wearing pants there in May, Lulu or otherwise... No one makes pants to wick away 90F with 100% humidity! Lol..) I don't think that anyone there thinks the gym is a beauty contest... maybe the gym you usually attend just has less fit people who are therefore not as attractive? I really don't know, but my friends at this gym are still some of my closest friends overall (even after moving across the country) and I met them because they were super nice & friendly. Jesse, the owners wife, truthfully is gorgeous but she is also the NICEST woman you will ever meet... she is a friend to everyone and I don't think I have ever heard a crabby word come out of her mouth! I have been to dozens of other Crossfit gyms and NEVER has anyone but the owner come up and introduced themselves to me. Not.One.Time. Here, the WODs are done in two rounds so you are forced to partner up and thus gain an instant cheerleader and spotter for your workout. That's how I met people, just acted like myself and made friends there, and people were always coming up to ask how long I had been crossfitting, where I was from, etc. I can see how if you walked into the gym acting like you were hot sh** and really standoffish that folks wouldn't say hello... I mean the other members are there to workout, not to make you feel good about your personality problems. But, like any group of people, if you are nice and friendly they will respond in kind. :) I have never been to a 4 minute workout at any Crossfit gym ever... the time you should be at the gym is an hour, almost to the minute at this place. You come in, warm up, do some dynamic or strength work, do the WOD, cool down/stretch out and then... maybe if there is time left in the hour, you can do some skill work before the hour is over. The actual WOD may have been 4 minutes but hey, that's called FRAN. If you don't like short, high intensity workouts, don't do Crossfit. If she thought that the WOD was the only important part of the workout, she's going to get injured in the near future and probably badly because she thinks that warm-ups, practicing movements, Olympic lifting and post-workout stretching/rolling out of muscles is "a waste of time." She my comment below about "nutrition professionals" but I have a feeling she should do some research... any research... about what makes a fit body and most of that healthy body is built in the kitchen and in yoga class (stretching). And who gets off talking about someone else's kids? Who are Really, the worst you could day about the gym is that someone under two didn't behave properly? Sounds like someone doesn't have kids and therefore knows "just how to parent..." I currently have two children under age three and I can tell you that child was/is in no way "dangerous"... call me when you have a baby, sweetheart, and then we will chat. Finally, I hate to sound snarky but I truly don't believe "nutrition" is a reputable degree... Jordon has some pretty extensive background through his military training and beyond and I feel like "nutrition professionals" are a dime a dozen and always pushing some gross, chemical-filled, chalky diet shakes on you for the pyramid scheme company that they work for. Anyway, my personal reflections on these two reviews aside, Christine said it best when she said, "my final rant about this place." Yes, that's what they are... illogical rants. If you want a good gym, a great workout and an atmosphere that challenges you to push yourself, join this gym. I haven't seen their price list lately but I truly believe you get what you pay for... if you care about your health; buy local, buy organic and for goodness sakes, buy a membership to CFFWB!

    Fantastic strength workout with a friendly, welcoming environment, and nice community.read more

    Word of warning - take heed of ALLLLLL the negative reviews!!! Absolute predatory practices - they…read morewill not respond to you when you have an issue, they have uncertified trainers and not enough classes. On August 25, 2025, I signed a 1-month membership contract with Pensacola Athletic Center (HS #14997) and paid $107.49 by credit card. The signed contract includes the cancellation rights under Florida Statute § 501.017 (the Health Studio Act). On August 27, 2025, within the 3 business day cancellation period, I delivered a written cancellation notice (which I sent via email and certified mail). Despite this, the gym failed to acknowledge or act on my cancellation. They did not confirm cancellation, did not refund or void charges, and subsequently adjusted my account to show a "past due" balance of $157--an amount higher than the original contract price. This is now somehow a past due balance of $166.50 and the only communication I get is that they are going to send this to collections. The gym has never provided a legitimate explanation, has not responded to my certified correspondence, and continues to assert I owe fees. This conduct violates Florida's Health Studio Act, including the statutory requirement to refund amounts when cancellation is timely. I have since requested that FDACS investigate this matter, require the gym to confirm cancellation in writing, correct its records, and refund any improper charges. Avoid at all costs, there is also no way to delete your information from the app (and the app is absolutely worthless).

    Being consistent at the gym has never been easier. Moving to Pensacola was my first experience…read moremoving away from my hometown, it was daunting to leave behind all of my friends and family. It takes time to make friends in new places and I knew the first few months would be hard. But, I quickly found friendly faces at Pensacola Athletic Center. The staff remembered my name after my first visit, always make a point to say hello/goodbye and make conversation in passing. Little did they know, this carried me through some of my more lonely months. In addition to staff, I quickly made friends with a lot of fellow athletes and gym goers & after a month of attending regularly, being consistent was never easier. I looked forward to hard workouts and pushing myself as that is the culture here. I've never quite felt like I had a gym home like this one. We're moving again in a couple of months and this has become the hardest place to say goodbye to. I even broke my elbow a few months ago and I continued to show up on all of my regular days just to do what I could. I knew I could rely on my peers to help me load weight onto machines, and I was right, people were quick to offer a hand. Oh - and the gym is really nice. There are 4 racks accompanied with deadlift platforms that are rarely all full, when they are, the wait is never too long. They've renovated it since I've joined and hosted plenty of events. They've slowly rolled new equipment in to replace old equipment. & the gym is never completely packed. There are times it's busier, but never unbearable.
