I have been training with CrossFit Silicon Valley for nearly seven years, and the quality of the coaching, the programming, and the fun community keep me returning. There is something special about members who find "collective struggling" enjoyable; it makes the gym a great place to decompress after work. I really value the mix of daily challenges and the opportunity to hit specific personal records in weightlifting and gymnastics (from my first rope climb to enjoying them and helping others). The results have been impactful for my performance outside the gym. Since training here, I have gone from the 53rd percentile to the 7th percentile in the Spartan Race series. As I approach 40, I actually feel stronger and leaner than I did before I turned 30, thanks to the solid foundation of technique and perseverance I have built here. It is a fantastic local spot if you are looking to get stronger and find a welcoming group to train with. read more

Honestly, I didn't want to leave a glowing review for this CrossFit gym because I love it so much and selfishly didn't want it to get too busy. But that wouldn't be fair, so here it is! My favorite part of the day is being at this gym, surrounded by these amazing people. The community here is amazing--so beautiful and supportive. The workouts are great, and the owner, Ron, is incredibly warm, supportive, and just a genuinely nice person. Make sure to stop by and say hi to him; he has such great energy! read more

I started CrossFit for the first time last summer and have been coming to this location several times a week. I absolutely love it and I am getting into excellent shape! I've worked with numerous coaches over the years, and I have to say that the CrossFit coaches here are fantastic! They've helped me modify things as needed and are always super supportive! I also really enjoy the community in this gym. I am new to heavy lifting and I have found everyone else to be helpful, supportive, and welcoming. This really is what gets me up so early in the morning to get to the gym! Also, the workouts are diverse and are quite a lot of fun! To be completely honest, I was a little intimidated at first to try Crossfit, but let me tell you, don't worry about this at all! Just show up and the coaches and others will make sure you feel welcome. read more

After a long break from CrossFit (and three deliveries), I found this box to be incredibly welcoming. The coaches are awesome at modifying workouts for my shoulder injury, making sure I stay challenged but safe. Great environment and a supportive community - highly recommend! read more

I've been at CrossFit Silicon Valley for just over a year now. When I first started I was SUCH a beginner- I was weak and didn't know anything about weightlifting or CrossFit workouts. I started coming about 3 times a week and over the year I've progressed so much in terms of strength, fitness, and weightlifting form. None of this would have been possible without the AMAZING coaches here, especially Ron. I'm a very shy person and the coaches all really make an effort to make me feel safe, welcomed, and included in everything. Because of the safe environment that is cultivated by the coaches, the same energy is brought out in the members -- everyone is super friendly and encouraging. I've made some awesome friends and connections here that I am so grateful for. Overall this gym is awesome-- it's accommodating to every fitness level and is always fun to be at! read more

As an older female, I was intimidated at the idea of Crossfit, and CFSV has been a wonderful experience since I joined. Ron, the owner of CFSV, is super friendly and encouraging. All the coaches are very knowledgeable and help with scaling the movements and weight, focusing on proper technique while still challenging you. The member community is very supportive and welcoming. The gym is spacious and clean. I really like the variety of workouts, feel much stronger after just a couple of months, and am excited to keep pushing myself to improve. I would highly recommend CFSV to anyone. read more

Absolutely love this place!! Coach Dani has some great cues for proper positioning and movement. Try out the noon classes!! Highly recommend for anyone for anyone at all levels of fitness. read more

If you are debating giving CrossFit a try, do it!! read more

After moving to the South Bay Area, I went "box shopping" to find a new crossfit box. On my first drop-in, the coach, members, and owner were all welcoming. They greeted me and even tried to get to know me; something that other boxes didn't really make the effort to do. Being introvert and shy, I tend to rely on others to bring out my social side. After a couple more drop-in's, I knew CFSV would end up being my new box. Aside from the community aspect, I appreciate the programming, which is done by Chris Spealler. Everyday is different - some days being just lifts while other days are a mix of cardio, gymnastics, and lifting. The coaches are also very knowledgeable. Most of them have their L2's, and there is even a weightlifting coach who dedicates Thursday nights to a weightlifting class. I've been a member of CFSV since January 2018 and I've met a lot of great members. If you're box shopping or looking to join crossfit, CFSV is the way to go! read more

My favorite place to work out in San Jose. Great atmosphere and awesome coaching! The equipment here is also amazing. Truly a 'bang for your buck' gym. The environment in the gym is friendly and welcoming, but can also serve as the right 'push' you need to get into great shape. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gym! Being new to the crossfit world, I was so nervous to try crossfit and I am so glad I did! The coaches are AMAZING and really help scale the workout for any type of fitness level or injury. I actually started about 8 weeks pregnant and feel so comfortable and safe because the coaches know how to help you scale the workout to fit your fitness needs! I also want to really highlight the community at this gym; everyone I have workout with is so friendly, and helps motivate you in your workout! It's the only gym that I'll get up at 6am for! Check it out!!! read more

I just moved to the area and wanted to start CrossFit again because I stopped for 3 years. I tried two boxes and I liked this one the most. It seemed more personal. Coaches are always attentive on how you're body is feeling that day. Everyone is friendly and I definitely feel comfortable there. The coaches are also all very knowledgeable and motivating. They make me want to lift heavier lol. Come give them a try! read more

An incredible gym with incredible people. They have workouts that will really challenge you. Coach Ron cares about his clients meeting their goals. Parking is also right in front, they have good quality equipment and you can really meet some amazing people here. An excellent facility and looking forward to what they do now and in the future. read more

It pains me to give this place one star because I wanted to love it and give a glowing review. Here's my story as to what happened: I got a special via Amazon for four classes for $25. I was totally excited because I've been stuck in a gym rut for a very long time and have heard about how great CrossFit is. The Amazon deal was a perfect way to explore something that would get me out of the gym and from being only kinda fit to being super fit again. Per the instructions, I was to call ahead and arrange to come in. So I did. The guy was very nice and said to just come in for the noon class, but come in five minutes early to fill out some paperwork. Ok, cool. I was excited! The place itself is easy enough to find. I arrived 10 minutes early. I pulled up and the front inside was all dark (the lights were off). I knew they were having a class at noon so I just went inside. There was no one around in the front office area. I could see that there were some guys in the workout area but I hung out in front for a few minutes to see if someone who works there would make their way up (and also because I didn't know if I should go back to the workout area). No one came up front so after about five minutes I walked to the workout area. There was a group of guys who all seemed alike (no one stood out as a trainer or as someone who works there) who were talking amongst themselves and who clearly were all regulars meandering about the workout area. I felt like I walked in on a private group or something. I made eye contact with each of them but no one came forth as an employee. People kept looking at me so I know they ALL saw me. I've never been there before, am clearly dressed to work out, and am looking around in a manner that is obvious I am new, don't know anyone or what to do so I assumed I would be approached. Was I supposed to wander around and ask each person if they work here? I stood around for another five minutes there, ignored the entire time, then gave up and left. Not only did I get a feeling from everyone there that I didn't belong, I received nothing near anything welcoming. For a place that charges so much for a membership, one would assume they would make more efforts to welcome newbies to encourage them to join rather than go elsewhere. I wasn't far from my gym so I just went there to do my usual routine since I was all dressed and ready for a workout. Boring, but at least they don't make me feel like I don't belong. I was extremely bummed because I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially after reading all of the great Yelp reviews. I'll be asking for a refund from Amazon for my "deal". I plan to try CrossFit eventually but I will be going somewhere else. This place totally lost out on a potential new member, but I am not sure they care. read more

Thank you, Groupon and Yelp for this awesome place. I got my ass kicked. My first day was mentored by Joe, he showed me the basic movements that will be associated throughout this journey of mine. My second day was w/ Judd, I met more friendly folks whom were funny, outgoing, and just plain nice to be around.. though it was my first actual workout, I felt like part of the family.. my third day was w/ Jake, he showed me proper form on my deadlifts and wall-balls.. seriously this place is no joke. When I did the warm up, it felt like a workout already. When the actual workout came, I figured, oh 8 minutes? No big deal, piece of cake but boy oh boy, did I eat my words. That 8 minutes is responsible for my entire body being sore.. I had to take a break from working out today!! CrossFit.. total body, mind, form, flexibility, and goal oriented workout. I can't explain it.. it's so hard, so challenging, yet so rewarding. Though I feel like I wanted to collapse afterwards, I felt like tomb raider after so.. if you have a "can do" attitude and want to work on yourself in ways that cannot be done at the gym, want to meet great people- come here!!!! read more

I came here 2 times total. The first time was my intro course. I thought it was okay.. nothing too crazy about the workouts because the trainer scaled my work-out. I felt like a baby. He made me feel completely out of place. I would have felt better if he let me do the same WOD (workout of the day) than the others, but on a smaller scale, but he made me do completely different exercises. The people I met there were very nice though, and at the end of the training i met the owner. She was okay and not pushy as well. The second time, I was invited back by the owner to try it out again before committing to a payment plan. This time, I did the actual WOD and it was fun. I was pretty much set on signing up, but the guy who runs the morning classes made me feel like he didn't care if i joined or not. He said we would talk about my plan and goals and where i want to be but he never initiated our convo. i like cross fit but i think i'm gonna try a new place. read more

Great community, programming by Chris Spealer. Quality coaching, emphasis on athlete's safety. Come in for a great workout! read more

Let me start by saying if you're looking for a new CrossFit gym, now is the perfect time to start as they're moving into a new building in the next couple weeks! I come from an athletic background, but am a complete novice when it comes to CrossFit. I found this gym because it was close to where my wife and I were moving. I've tried CrossFit at 3 gyms before and the experience was horrible each and every time. The coaches were inattentive, the memberships managers only cared about filling their box, and the members were just very cliquey. Even so, I was committed to giving it one more shot. Judd invited me to the box and taught me the vision of Crossfit SV. Then, based on my goals, he paired me up with Michaela for fundamentals and to help me work through some more difficult movements. Michaela emphasized the important details in each movement to remain safe and healthy. I was integrated into the workouts not long after and met the rest of the team. Coaches Ron and Ryan are incredible with their knowledge and their patience. From there, I met the members and each of them have been encouraging and inclusive. I can't provide the perspective for a seasoned CrossFitter, but if you're new, intermediate, or need something fresh - this is the way to go. read more

Just finished a great workout at Crossfit Silicon Valley. I was super impressed with the great coaches and the friendly folks in the 5:30pm class. I don't live in the area, but I will definitely stop by and work out here again when I can. The space is large enough for pretty big classes. We were all able to spread out and get in double unders (or singles for those of us that are still working on the DUs), handstand pushups, pull ups, and sit ups. I was impressed that we were able to do have two separate workouts happening at the same time for those that wanted to stick with the WOD and those that were prepping for the Memorial Day MURPHY. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're thinking of crossfitting. Thanks again for the super experience! read more

I really wanted to love CrossFit and join because I have a close friend that is practically obsessed with it and has improved in her fitness, health, and gained some amazing friends but.. just wasn't for me. Judd and Mikaela (owners and husband and Wife) were nice enough to let me come in to try 2 classes for free before I decided. Soon after that there was an Amazon Deal (via Living Social) for 4 classes for $25 bucks but by then it was my third class and I decided not to move forward. Its $150 month to month (when I tried in October 2011) You can tell its a very great community with everyone talking to each other before and hanging out after class. The workout consists of WOD (work of the days) and is built on a competitive nature with times recorded of when you finish your workout on the board. They have 1 hour classes from early morning, lunch, to late evenings - 7:30pm is the latest class. The first part of the class consists of learning the WOD and also how to modify the drills if they are too intense like doing pullups - since I couldn't do those. Second part of the class is doing the WOD and people that were fast finished in 17 minutes to people that were slow (like me) that finished in about 30 minutes. WOD involved running, using weights, box jumps, pull ups, burpees, rope climbing, etc They idea of using weights really excited me because as a female I definitely lack doing that. There are also so much sexy equipment like Kettlebells, ropes to climb, big tires, etc. I would say the workouts made me sweat and I was definitely sore after them. So.. why didn't I join? - I didn't like how it ended up being an individual workout and you were on your own. Yes coaches came around to made sure you were supported but I like more collaboration in my group exercise classes. - Its soo high intensity for me that instead of modifying drills I wanted to push myself so I wouldn't be such a punk and that made me high risk for injury. - Its really pricey for me. Happy for the people that love CF and I had a good experience there but not my cup of tea for a regular everyday workout! read more

I consider myself a pretty active person, when I feel like it. But since I struggled completing the US Half Marathon back in Nov. 7, 2010, I got lazy doing anything at all... for a good 3 weeks. I pretty much just run and do exercise videos from Comcast, but I know that I don't exactly push myself to my limits, and hence, my body composition did not really change much for the past 2 years. Finally got the courage to get my body composition checked by Kaiser this morning. Finally, after 2 years of being around 21%, I have finally, finally exceeded my goal of 20%!!! As of this morning (and despite eating everything that I could see and smell over Christmas weekend), I am finally at 19.6%!!! YEAH! So I'm off to my next goal... maybe 18% in 6 months? So thank you to CrossFit SV for making me reach, excuse me, exceed my goal, supporting and pushing me and for making me think of a new goal. In the 4-weeks I was there (thanks to Groupon), I know that my body has changed that much in that short period of time! Special thanks to Chris, Larry, Judd, and most especially to Mikaela. You guys rock! read more

After much deliberation, I decided to check out Crossfit Silicon Valley and I could not be more happy with my results. I have been a member here for the past 6 months and have lost 14+ pounds and put on a lot of muscle and I feel great. I may not be able to lift as much as other people or do as many pull ups, but not once have I ever felt like I was being judged or made fun of. Everyone has to start somewhere and everyone congratulates you on your results. Never once have I felt pressured to lift more than I know I can or do things that make me feel uncomfortable. If anything, I love trying new things and seeing what my body is really capable of doing. CrossfitSV is not just a gym, it's like a little family. We don't just come to work out, but to socialize and have a great time. It makes WODs (work outs of the day) a lot easier to do! Seeing results are up to you and how hard you decide to work, but I can promise you that by joining CrossfitSV, you'll be joining a support system that will help you reach your goals and put you in better shape than you ever thought possible. read more

Drank the Crossfit PUNCH! I was Introduced via Kettlebell classes about year ago. The daily workout is always changing, but one thing is constant. It will get you to that moment of truth (hitting that wall), will i push through and finish the workout? Some of the workouts which are time based are very challenging to constantly better myself. The Group dynamics are a great source of motivation. Crossfit is ideal to support any activity or sport because it focuses on core strength and touches on all the facets of fitness. Anyone can go online (crossfit.com) and follow the same workouts and be part of the overall community, but working out at a "BOX" is the only way it go. CFSV's facility (the "box") has everything needed to get it done (lots of pull up bars, Olympic weights, balls, and other FUN stuff) including a great sound system to keep you move'n. Its located in a central location in San Jose which is very nearby to many companies (ie Cisco). I love that it has an early morning session (630am). The only way to officially start the day. Staff (Coaches) are great (period). Do it today! Get up, out, and get active! We are creatures of movement so get moving :-) read more

OK, I see I'm bucking the trend here. Everybody loves Silicon Valley Cross Fit? Except me? So please keep that in mind for my review. I am over 50, but active and involved in other cross training work outs. I have worked in gyms. I found this Cross Fit gym dirty and dinghy, the workout unsafe and not modified for beginners. I hated that people were throwing down fully loaded weight bars on the floor after every lift. I kept waiting to hear a scream when someone fell off something, or got smacked down by the enthusiasm. No way I want to get any part of my body on the floor there. The whole thing seemed chaotic, though there was a board up for the workout, and the ( I must say very nice) Coach Dan talked us through the whole thing. Everyone was "friendly" , in your face with unasked for instruction. Let's just say, I'm new, I'm trying for the first time, the instructor already helped me, why do you have to get in on my workout? They do have an expensive "on ramp" program to "introduce" Cross fit. maybe it's better if you try that. I'll stick to cross training, and Living Social was super nice and refunded my money. read more

I found out about Crossfit Silicon Valley totally by mistake. I wanted to get back into shape so I looked for a kickboxing school close to my work. I've done muay Thai for 4 - 5 years off and on and decided to pick up where I left off since I know kickboxing can get you into shape. Well, right in the same facility is Crossfit Silicon Valley and let me tell you - the work outs there looked harder and the people there looked in much better shape. So I decided to try something new and totally different and now, I've been going to Crossfit Silicon Valley for over a year and I'm in much better shape than I've ever been in my life. The staff: Judd, Fred and Matt Smith are all amazing trainers and each has their own focus. Judd: weights and olympic lifting, Fred works on cardio and Matt gives you crazy work outs that work every part of your body. I am probably now in the best shape that I've ever been in thanks to the crew at Crossfit Silicon Valley. The atmosphere is great, the competition and comradery constantly motivates you and the work outs are always varied which means you won't get bored. You may think that I work at Crossfit Silicon Valley by the tone of my review, but I don't. And furthermore, I'd be more than willing to answer any questions you have from a student's perspective. read more

I started with x-body doing circuit training and kickboxing but as my strength and endurance improve, I was looking for more. Then the introduction of Crossfit which kicks my butt every time I do a wod (up to now). Coaches are great and very knowledgeable, the people attending the class is even great-er. The support system is really amazing, from someone doing a 45# overhead squat to someone doing 195#. You have this feeling that everyone is up to make you become better and better and better.... the coach's famous quote should say it all "rest when your dead". I talk to a lot of people that have tried other crossfit gym, they all come to CrossfitSV because of one common reason, because the support here is really big. Just to warn everyone that Crossfit is not for everyone but if you want an active lifestyle and look good naked, this is the workout for you. read more

CrossFit Silicon Valley - crossfit sectionals 2010 - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

Ok I did crossfit for 3 months.. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The trainers and even other members were VERY supportive and they didn't laugh when I would be on the verge of passing out haha.. joking. Heres the problem. I started to go back to school full time and work part time all of which is about a 45 minute commute to this crossfit location.. I decided to cancel my membership. For the next 3 months I was billed $125 even though I canceled my membership. YES, they credited back my card within 24 hours but this past month it took over a week to be credited it back (honestly it was a huge miscommunication between the gym and my bank).. I paid tuition for winter quarter and I also bought a snowboard for my boyfriend + credit card bills = over drawn by .10cents ugh.. I have to say that Judd was extremely apologetic and I really appreciated that. My bank reversed the overdraft charges but only after I filed a 4 page claim. I think it was just more of a hassle then anything else... Overall.. I would still support this gym in every way. If you are seriously looking for a good way to get in shape and meet incredible people who will keep you motivated then definitely check this place out. read more

For background, I've been working out for about four years now. It's been on and off, but over time, my on's have gotten more sustainable, stable and more intense - and my off's have gotten shorter and shorter. I typically keep a healthy diet and have pretty good discipline about what I eat. What's most important to me is that I get a lot stronger (and even heavier) without getting bigger. The programming at CFSV helps with exactly that! The workouts are designed to steadily (not slowly) make you a lot stronger and the coaches help you constantly improve your form so that you're not getting injured as the weights get heavier. I'm doing all sorts of gymnastic and olympic lifting movements that I would've never thought I'd be able to do. I used to think strength and fitness were all about deadlifts, squats and bench press. This is a very different way of thinking about your fitness and it's much more effective. The coaches are incredible and each contributes something unique to the experience. Judd is a lot of fun and always pushing you to go harder. Michaela is always pushing the brakes and telling you to watch your form and helps you perfect it. They've got a great good cop-bad cop thing going. And even when it's not a designated class time, the gym's open for you to come in and work on your weaknesses. Oftentimes, one of the coaches will jump in and help you perfect whatever you're working on. The best part is the member base of CFSV. The box is super inclusive and fun without at all being culty (as you'll find CF can easily become). Relaxed and laid back, all the while building a great community around fitness and health. I'm a huge fan of this place! read more

I've been with Crossfit SV for 5 years. The members of the establishment have become and are my second family. Coach Judd and Michaela are not only great mentors and coaches but they are truly good people and good friends. This culture is a totally body, mind, and goal-oriented program. So if you want to be in the best shape of your life join this revolution. Crossfit SV: Strong, it's the new Sexy. read more

I should probably start this off by saying that I'm someone who LOVES to work out. You heard me...working up a sweat by lifting weights, running 'til my legs can't run anymore and burning up calories like its my job all sound like a whole lot of FUN to me! I know, not everyone feels this way. So here's the GREAT thing about X-Body...whether your feelings toward working out mirror mine or more closely resemble "walking to my car is my daily exercise," the trainers at X-Body are so pro that you'll look forward to your workout, regardless of your attitude. I take the group classes - circuit training, kettle bells and CrossFit. I honestly love them all as they provide variety to my frequent workouts. Additionally, I get to check out a different trainer every day, so even if its my second circuit class of the week, I know that I'll never have the same workout twice. I can go in the morning, at lunch or after work...no excuses allowed! Ok, so I'm kind of Ms. Polly Positive..but I've worked out at lots of gyms, tracks and weight rooms. X-Body is by far my most favorite spot in the Bay Area. Whether you are a serious athlete or looking for inspiration to get a few workouts into your lifestyle, X-Body should be on the top of your list! read more

I did my homework before choosing Crossfit Silicon Valley and I'm glad I did. The trainers are knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging and dedicated. Judd is a wealth of information and it is obvious from the moment you step into the box that he has your best interests in mind. You will be pushed, you will get a good workout and you will get stronger. After only 1 month of crossfit I am a better volleyball player. My endurance is up and I am stronger. This is a better workout than anything I have done before (kickboxing, running, bikram yoga) and I love that it will make you a better athlete no matter what your other sports are. read more

Update- had a follow up email from the owner. Schedule hadn't been externally updated. I get it. Will give it another shot this week. I tried to drop in to a scheduled 7am class and no one was there? Wish I had gone elsewhere because there was no time to get to another gym and my chance to workout today has passed. read more

Although I only had one opportunity to train at the new CFSV's new location, but I trained at the old location in Downtown San Jose long enough to love them. When Fred was one of the trainers there, I was one of his clients that really listen to his teachings: eat clean, work hard, push through the pain, etc etc. I did, and then some. I guess I made the impression that I'm the most vocal clients he has ever had (and one of the most funnest to train). I had never joined a gym before in my life. So being in a Crossfit gym was out of my norm. Upon my arrival, everyone was intensely training. I waited in my trainer's office and watched people's intensity. It looked extremely intimidating. I was well in my 170lbs at the height of 5'1". To simply put it, I was overweight and my blood pressure was dangerously border line high. I was fed up on my weight on a rollercoaster. I finally decided to really really do something about it and went to a professional. During my first consultation, I had a little physical assessment and then a little WOD to figure out if this is what I really wanted. The work out was a really nice one. It was definitely different from what I am use to period, but the moment I walked into the gym I had made up my mind, "no turning back." 1 1/2 year(s) later, my weight dropped to 140lbs and my blood pressure was at its norm. During this year, I got to meet the owner (Judd), his wifey Michaela and a few other people (whom I now forgot the name to). They're all very open and friendly. If you had questions, they are more than welcome to help you answer them regarding forms and other crossfit questions. It is a little late, but better than never, congratulations on the new and bigger location =] read more

Contrary to what I heard and read about Crossfit, I really enjoyed my one month deal - thanks to Yelp. The first two times when I went did not really do anything for me probably because the class was pretty full and crowded however, as I continued coming, I understood why people got hooked. IF not for CrossfitSV, I wouldn't have attempted to hold my plank for 5 minutes. And guess what - I did it! This workout will require you to really push yourself but the great thing about it is that when you think you cannot do anymore, you realize that you actually can. Then you realize that your body does not have any limit at all. Your potential for greatness lives within you! I also really liked Mikaela and Judd (well, I have only worked out with them). They have great techniques and they are very generous about sharing that with their students. This is the week that I have to decide if I want to continue on and it is such a difficult decision considering that I have 3 gym memberships already on top of my yoga memberships, my hula hoop activities, pilates, bootcamp, aerial yoga, hiking every weekend, Pure Barre, among other things. I wish they have a package where I can go 2x a week for a discounted price or something like that.

Thank you very much! read more
