I cannot say enough good things about Matt and Crossfit Confidence. I consider myself to be a…read morebetter than average gym go-er with respect to strength and fitness, and always laughed at the crossfit Kool-Aid. However, I have felt that something is missing. My wife Joined Crossfit Confidence in February 2014 and finally got me to try it out in May 2014. Crossfit Confidence has been that missing piece of my fitness regime. Specifically the owner, Matt Pantze. Matt is a trainer, a teacher, a coach, and a much needed experienced second opinion on everything to do with health and fitness. I have only been going to Crossfit Confidence for one month and I can say I am in the best overall shape I've been in years. My conditioning is better, and I've lost ten lbs thanks to great nutritional advice. Crossfit Confidence isn't the Kool-Aid drinking balls to the wall cult I used to think crossfit was all about. It's a great place to get healthy and to meet some really quality people. Matt is quickly building a team/family atmosphere with a group of fun people ranging from average joes to one nationally ranked shot putter. Here are some quick pros and cons: Cons: --Classes are early morning or afternoon only, no midday classes. Yet. --Cost relative to traditional gyms; if you are only looking for weight machines, you can find that elsewhere for cheaper --Parking, sometimes you will have to park across the street/in another parking lot. Not that big of a deal to me, but some people might find it inconvenient --Location. Not in the sense that it's hard to get to, or something like that. However, if you don't want to see a delicious pizza place or some other really good places to eat food that is not so good for your waistline, park in the back or show will power when you're done working out Pros: --Atmosphere. Like I said above, Matt is building a great team/family atmosphere where we all encourage each other and all really enjoy working out together and look forward to the next workout --Happy hour workouts. The last Friday of every month we have a happy hour workout after which we have a few beers and grill your favorite animal or tofu ball if you're in to that sort of thing... --Personal training 6 days a week! I cannot express how great this really is. If you think about it in relation to my Con above about cost, you get a monthly membership that includes daily personal training for what it costs for 3 personal training sessions anywhere else. And it's fun. And he knows what he's doing. And it's fun. --Technically sound and safe place to work out. No pushing too hard and ignoring safe habits / technique here. Matt is quick to stop you if you are pushing yourself outside of the realm of injury free workouts. --Cost relative to other Crossfit gyms (even some less than ten miles away). Matt doesn't discount his services but he also doesn't price it so high that you really have to drink the kool-aid to see the value like other gyms --The owners. Matt and Maria are awesome. And fun.

The workouts are dynamic and leaves you feeling refreshed and accomplished. I'm sad to leave due to moving out of state but it was a great experience overall. One thing is that I missed the weight training element and the app isn't user friendly.

I have always wanted to try CrossFit, but trying to fit it into my busy schedule with young kids, and my budget was nearly impossible. I found out about Una Stamus, and their affordable individualized fitness plans through friends. Coach Matt creates a fitness plan that caters to my goals, the equipment I have available to me, and my schedule while still incorporating my other passions (running and martial arts)! The commitment is not overwhelming. Coach Matt is always there for motivation and support, and no workout is ever dull. He holds me accountable, while still being my cheerleader!
