It's gonna be hard to put into words how I feel about this place, but I'll try. But I also feel…read morelike I need to add a little bit of background info about why I feel the way I do so here goes nothing. At the peak of my fitness over a decade ago, I was part of a now-defunct fitness group called SacTown FitClub that had a community and vibes like no other. Our workouts were mostly plyometrics based metabolic conditioning at different parks before they eventually got a warehouse space with a bit of equipment. Ever since they closed, I had a huge void in my life and I've been bouncing around different gyms and even trying different types of martial arts. I was trying to chase that high because for me it wasn't just about the gym and having equipment, I was looking for a community and workouts like FitClub had. Fast forward to October 2024. At this point I've been powerlifting with a small group of buddies for a couple years, but I'd grown bored with it and I needed a spark. I had been considering diving back into CrossFit for around a year now(I had a very very brief stint at Kaiwai around 2017 or 2018) but anxiety trying new things with new people kept me from taking the leap and coming back after all this time. I even messaged the owner of another box and scheduled a day to come in but I got cold feet and backed out. Then after talking to one of my powerlifting buddies who wanted to try out CrossFit, we decided to check out CrossFit Kaiwai. It helped that I remembered the owner Jaws being very friendly and accommodating back in 2017-18, and he was exactly the same when I messaged him in October to let him know we wanted to try a class before potentially signing up. We attended a 5:30pm Wednesday night class that Jaws instructed and the struggle was real, but never were we expected to do more than what our fitness level and abilities allowed. Jaws was very encouraging and insightful, giving us substitutions or modifications for any movements we were unable to do. If I'm being honest, it was freakin tough but I always enjoyed the challenge that metabolic conditioning brought, especially in a group setting. I was sold on that 1 class and signed up right away and started with just 1 class a week because I already had a powerlifting split of 4 days a week. Fast forward to present day. I've cut the powerlifting to 1-2 days a week if that, because I'm at Kaiwai 5 days a week. I didn't just fill the void I had, my cup is now overflowing. I didn't just find a community, I gained a family and I'm doing workouts I love to do(ngl, I'm also doing ones I hate lol). Every single day is a new challenge, and every workout complete is rewarding. I love that here you never suffer alone, you get to suffer with a bunch of friends lol. There's never a shortage of coaches or buddies hyping you up during the workout when it feels like your mind is working against you, having you ready to give up on yourself. I even switched from 5:30pm workouts to 5am workouts. Who tf in their right mind does a 5am workout, especially before work?! If you told me a year ago that I'd be doing 5am workouts before work, I would tell you you're out of your goddamn mind. But this is what Kaiwai and all the beautiful people that encompass this place do. It took some time but I'm starting to get the results I've wanted for myself for so many years now. I'm feeling better and better about myself and I'm regaining my confidence. This is supposed to be my home away from home but in some ways, it feels like my true home. On my hardest days, I know I can come here and leave feeling lighter. When I'm sick and miss some days, I'll get texts asking where or how I am and I feel missed. I'm absolutely blessed I get to be a part of this place and my heart is always full from the friendships I have gained. I hope more people come along and get to experience all that I have felt, because I love this place and all the people in it more than I can put into words.

At the time, CrossFit Communitas (CC) had not yet opened its doors. I'd searched--not just for a new CrossFit box--but for my new tribe, and mostly, for a space where I felt included, warmly welcomed AND could receive high quality coaching that left me feeling safe. Under the incomparable leadership of Jordan Eldridge, my experience at CC has far exceeded any of my expectations. Jordan has thoughtfully created a community I've growing to love, selected a solid team of coaches and emphasized consistent structure without compromising fun! As a psychotherapist and yoga teacher, it's clear to me that my physical and mental well-being are inseparable. Since becoming a member at CC, I've noticed undeniable changes with my body and the return of confidence I'd felt only before experiencing a life-threatening set of injuries. Group fitness, for me, can feel intimidating. Yet learning form and technique at CC has been as much humbling as it has been empowering. Friendship and camaraderie--with a dose healthy competition--is what sustains the community at CC. CC easily deserves a rating of five stars and "fist bumps all around!"

I've been coming to Aquila Fitness since 2018 and can't imagine going to another gym. The coaching…read moreis excellent and the workouts push you in a way that leaves you feeling like you accomplished something rather than feeling defeated. The workouts can be scaled to different levels so that you can push yourself when necessary or dial it back if needed to. The culture is very supportive and the workouts are often fun (I have heard it referred to as recess for grown up's). What I like the most about it is that I really just have to show up and not think about what to do. There is a set workout that everyone does for the same class time. For a non gym rat like me that is the golden ticket. The workout is laid out in a very easy to follow format of warmup, stretches, strength, then the main workout (Merton). The workouts vary to keep it interesting and fun plus you get the feeling of that you're in it together with other people. Make no mistake you will work hard and definitely sweat but I promise you that will leave feeling better then when you walked in the door. There is a definite lack of judgement which permeates everywhere. I have had injuries, job changes, and various life events that have kept me from going as often as I would like (or should), but upon coming back to the gym I am always greeted positively rather than scorned. The social aspect of it for me at Aquila is huge, even if it's just saying hi to someone on any given day. Final thought: if you go, definitely take advantage of the coaches' knowledge. I ask them questions often and get their opinions on things all the time. Justin, Travis, and Angie really know their stuff and are happy to share information that might help you out.

I first…read morejoined for the Boot Camp and TRX style classes but found that my 50+ year old body was not responding to that so well, even though I was loving the workouts, so I decided to swap out a workout day for a day of yoga instead. I was intimidated at first. I have some, but not a lot of experience with yoga and the idea of doing it in a heated environment made me nervous. They have 60- and 90-minute classes. I started with the 60 min Yoga Basics class which is not a beginner class necessarily, its challenging for sure, but sticks to the more rudimentary poses and movements. It's a great class for all levels and the heated room was actually very nice. I was concerned I would feel like I was suffocating but that was not at all the case. It felt great and I was totally sweaty by the end of class. It's a damn good workout and everyone is very supportive and friendly. Since I've incorporated yoga 2 days a week into my regular routine and dropped the hard work outs down to only 2 days a week I'm feeling MUCH better. Less injury, more bendy, and continued to increase my strength. Bean and the gym staff are all great at what they do. Heather and rest of the yoga instructors are wonderful as well. I'm loving UFF and the range of options they offer! The only thing that I would warn anyone about is they are not super great at providing instruction in the boot camp and TRX classes. Most of the members are fairly experienced athletes and there's a lot of assumption that everyone knows what they're doing and what weight they should be using. In a class of 20+ people they don't have a lot of time to coach an individual person. I am not shy and will almost always ask for help if I'm not sure, but not everyone feels comfortable doing that. I can definitely say that when I have asked for help, I get wonderful feedback and assistance. If you're new at this type of fitness you can schedule a one-on-one with a trainer to help you sort out a lot of things ahead of time, so you don't hurt yourself during a class. 10/10 highly recommend!
