I am relocating from New England, I found Crossfit VU through the mainsite and went to their web page. 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!!!! read more

So, let me explain why CFVU gets a 5 star rating from me, because ya'll know I don't just give them out... 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 :) read more

I have been coming to the Box (Gym) for two months now. We all know that Crossfit is not easy. The coaches here really care and push you to greatness. Fellow cross-fitters in this Box are like a big family, when they finish a WOD, they cheer you on. If you are someone like me, you need that extra push. This box offers military, student, and other discounts. I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give them a shot. I am so happy that I did. They offer challenging workouts with very knowledgeable and experienced coaches. Everyone is supportive and welcoming and will make you feel right at home. The box is clean and well organized. If you are looking for a family atmosphere, that is what sets CrossFit VU from many other boxes. It's great for all ability levels. Coaches understand how to adjust workouts to make it better for you. read more

I came from out of town and dropped in, and I felt like I was a regular. Reece, Lex and all athletes are super friendly. Coaches are very knowledgeable and they have a well balanced coach-athlete ratio. I highly recommend this box if you are from out of town and need to get in your daily WOD. Will see you guys again when I come back! read more

To say that CrossFit VU changed my life would be an understatement. I felt like I was a part of something special from the first day I walked in there. I still feel like I get as much attention from coaches now as I do when the first day I walked in door. I guarantee that the CrossFit community feeling that they have built is 2nd to none. Whether you are a seasoned CrossFit vet or someone just looking to try it out for the first time, VU is the place for you. read more

Crossfit VU - Boot Camps Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Dropped in today and had a great experience. The head coach was great and very helpful! Great gym with friendly members! Only criticism was that we had a brutal workout with rope climbs yet we didn't do any shoulder warm up. However the class after us did more of a warm up so maybe coach just forgot! read more

Crossfit VU - Boot Camps Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Great atmosphere, staff, and facility. Dropped in for a few weeks from out of town and the gym was extremely accommodating. The staff is very knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. The staff and existing members instantly make you feel like part of the team. Highly recommend this gym and will go to again if I'm back in the area. read more

I was a drop in visiting for work and hit this place right off the plane. Couldn't have asked for a more inviting facility with exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. I ended up going three times and strongly recommend this group. read more

The best CrossFit gym around. If you are looking for a CrossFit gym, you will not find better coaches or a better community.

Dropped in for a class during memorial day weekend. Extremely friendly coaching and staff. Lex even called me to confirm my drop in. The classes have 2 coaches minimum and they have great advice on scaling down movements and movement cues for each individual athlete. Jared and Lo made sure to go around and check everyones movements and make adjustments as necessary before the WOD. I dropped in on friday and again on saturday for MURPH. I ended up ripping my hands a little and a member graciously shared some ripfix balm! Very affordable $25 for a drop in + T shirt or $15 for a drop in only. 5/5 stars! read more

I did a week of drop ins at CF VU and loved it. Coaches were attentive and helpful. They worked with each person if they needed any modifications, encouraged the team throughout the workouts and kept an eye on everyone's form to assure a safe workout. I will come back anytime I'm in Pensacola! read more

Dropped in at this box for a two month stint in Pensacola. Coaches were extremely great! They start you off with a warm up and go over basic movements and if you're a beginner they will definitely pay attention and make sure you do not injure yourself. The price is reasonable compared to others. You start out with your free trials and the. You can sign up if you want. DEFINITELY felt zero pressure into doing so. I really recommend this box if you are going to Pensacola, you won't regret it at all! read more

I worked with one of the head trainers--Lex, years ago when we were both in the Marine Corps. It's no surprise that he went on to become a CrossFit coach, because he was always lending his time, trying to help those around him improve their health and fitness. If you're looking for a CrossFit gym in Pensacola, try this place out, because I know he cares. read more

No place like it!! Starting to get back in shape at 44 after knee surgery ...started with boot camp...coaches are amazing. Even better all the members, it truly is like a family...Best decision I have made in a long time!!! Thank you CrossFit VU!! 44!!! This is gonna be my year thanks to you guys! read more

Great gym! I was in Pensacola for a year looking for a crossfit gym before I found VU. I felt welcomed right when I walked in the door. They have a clean facility that has all the equipment you need. The members are really nice and are always having pool parties/beach days, get togethers etc. The coaching staff is really knowledgable. Lex and Fallon have a lot of experience and as a bonus they give good nutrition advice :) definitely the gym to go to in Pensacola read more

I trained at CrossFit VU for a week while visiting from out of town. The box is fantastic. I love the open air and the set-up. The coaches help athletes with technique and strategy to handle the WOD. The equipment is terrific as well. I enjoyed the clients. They are approachable and fun. Dogs are welcome and everyone in general is interested in having a good time while getting an intense workout. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in Pensacola. read more

Great box! The coaches really care not only about your progress but in your safety as well. They take the time to make sure you are doing each exercise corretly so you can get results and not hurt yourself in the process. read more

Great gym. We stopped by and worked out while on vacation. Super friendly and knowledgable. Very welcoming. Thank you for your hospitality.

I've trained at CrossFit VU for a little over a year now-- way past due for a yelp review. I'd say the atmosphere is great! The members are really nice, the box is clean, and the coaches are really passionate and knowledgable. CrossFIt VU really gives off that "community feel" we all crave when searching for a fitfam. Regardless of your fitness level, CrossFIt VU is definitely a place you should check out :) read more

If you want drama and crap programming, go for it! They'll talk down to you on a daily basis, charge for every little thing, and you won't improve. Good luck. read more

Lex is by far the most knowledgable coach I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I was still fairly new to Crossfit when he landed the position as the new head coach at my former box in Columbus, Ga. I couldn't have asked for a better coach from which to learn proper form and technique. We are a military family, so our time sadly came to say goodbye. The skills I learned from Lex helped me to survive (as in avoid injury) mediocre coaches and to continue successfully with my Crossfit journey. I've finally found a few good coaches, but they still don't compare to Lex. In fact, even with hundreds of miles between us, I contacted him not once, but twice for online personal training after two major medical procedures. I couldn't think of anyone that I trusted more. Years later, he still remembered my strengths and weaknesses and was able to tailor a program unique to those needs. He has a passion for Crossfit, nutrition and fitness in general that is unparalleled. I haven't had the pleasure of working with Fallon, however, knowing the standard that Lex adheres to, I can't imagine that her coaching is anything but stellar. Give this box a chance, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more
