    I finally found it. Something that pushes me, excites me, teaches me and builds confidence. I'm a…read more40 year old guy that doesn't like normal gyms and needs competition in order to work out. I'm an x-HS wrestler and I love the physicality of working out. Running and pushing weights doesn't do it for me. X-Fit boxing is everything I've been needing in my life. Coach Ahmik is awesome. Patient, fun, demanding. He taught me the basics, pushed me to power through the lack of cardio and motivates without being negative. In 5 classes, I've learned multiple punch combos, proper techniques, pivots and so much more. The gym is clean, well kept and welcoming. But it smells like a gym that gets used by those who want to be better. I love it. If you're like me and want more out of getting in shape while also learning a skill that won't result in a dislocated shoulder or broken arm, this is the place. Classes are affordable. Coach is accessible. And the gym is awesome. Come get the gloves on and throw your best punch. You won't regret it.

    Highly recommend this gym! I'm new to the area and have been searching for a boxing gym for a…read moremonth. I landed at this one and I'm already excited for my second session. He was welcoming, motivating, and kicked my a** I learned so much just in one session. The gym wasn't too crowded which was nice and even though there was someone else there I felt like I had that individual attention.

    This Cross Fit gym/ box is pretty cool - I love the space they have and the location, tucked away…read morebehind a residential area for easy parking. Given the space/size, there is ample room for a class of 25. I was skeptical at first, but they can definitely accommodate this class size. There is plenty of wall space, rig space, equipment, etc. The cross fitters are focused and hard core here - they push themselves during the EMOM/ WODs, and then, as expected each day, they push through with the "finisher." It changes up every day, but it's like asking your body to sprint when tired, so it's a great additional skill to work on especially when tired. The classes each day and during the week are well thought out and planned for targeting various skills and muscle groups. Each 1 hour block is packed with so much stuff, it's great. There's no "down time," only go time. Go time may be cardio intense or skill intense, but it's always keeping you on your toes. The 2 coaches I met, one of whom is/was the head coach/ founder/ owner, are very friendly and approachable. However, don't let that deter you from seeking or accepting their spot-on advice for different skills. They kind of look like they know what they're doing.. okay, kind of is an understatement. With just a few moments, they can advise you on what else you can do to be better at your skill of concern - cool! The only downside in my opinion is that there is not as much camaraderie among everyone working out as I would have liked. If you don't mind that, this place is perfect. There are clearly small groups of people who know each other and work with each other, but there was not the cheering for everyone or the last folks working out. Oh, and the speaker system/ music is/was fantastic. Loved the music choices - really keeps you energized and going strong! This place is a great choice for locals living around here, and I am certainly very happy with the experience. When back in the area, I hope to return for another class!

    I had purchased a LivingSocial deal for CF908 for an unlimited month back in June 2011. At first, I…read morewas intimidated by all the hard bodies & abs I saw, but I got over it & focused on bettering myself. LivingSocial got me in the door, & I wouldn't leave for another 1.5 years. The trainers, Tim, Pat & Allen were all there to help me improve & get stronger. When I started, I couldn't do a pull up, double under, nor had any knowledge of Olympic lifting. They modify the WODs for all levels so don't even use the excuse that you can't do it. You can always do something to make yourself stronger, faster, better, but it all takes time & dedication. Within 6 months, I was a Double Unders monster (which I am very proud of). I left being able to do Rx pull-ups in a WOD, as well as doing Chest to Bar Pull Ups unassisted. I participated in the CF Games Open in 2012 & hit some major PRs which were really exciting. CF908 is an awesome place to learn & the other people there become like a 2nd family. Everyone is friendly & helpful. The other people are there to root you on & are very supportive. I miss everyone at 908. I will always compare all the other CF to 908, but have not yet found another one like it yet. I just might have to move back! :)
