    I've been at the camp for ALMOST TWO YEARS now and it has changed my life. I've lost over 60lbs…read moresince joining and I wake up everyday excited to workout and build my strength. The trainers care about you as an individual and know that each person has their own journey and battles and never prescribe a "one size fits all" mentality to their training methods. You can modify when you need to. You can be pushed to your best and you are given the best pep talks through it all. I've successfully completed Spartan races and hopped over 6ft walls because of the trainers believing in me. I've ran half marathons because I've met so many amazing people here that keep pushing me to do more! This place has changed my life. The community inside is a family and I'm so thankful for this place existing and showing me that fitness is for everyone!

    I have been debating whether or not I wanted to write a review about The Camp. On one hand, I have…read moremany good memories here and working out felt fun. Some of the trainers and all of the front office staff are amazing and kind. Shout out to Taylor and Andres. I think the owners had good intentions in mind and poured a substantial amount of themselves into the camp. However, the amount of pain (months after leaving the camp) and frustration I have encountered far outweighs the good. I came into the camp with some mild pain in my back that came and went as well as knee pain. Certain things would aggravate it. One of the trainers at the camp is incredibly pushy and does not listen. One of my first trainings at this gym with this trainer, she was asking the group to do something that I knew would worsen the pain- when she saw I was not doing the exercise she pushed me to do it and when I tried to explain that I couldn't she said "can't is a word not allowed here...that will be 10 burpees" without allowing me to explain. Repeating that phrase several times when I just stood there, shocked, until she let it go and moved on. I have had multiple other negative experiences with her-at one point I came into the gym with a cardiac monitor I had to wear for two weeks and she seemed annoyed that I even showed up because I could not get the monitor wet( mild moisture and work outs were ok). After that first session I told her about my back pain, so she was aware. However, she kept pushing when I told her that I did not think I could do something. I avoided her classes but still ran into her at one of my final classes there. She pushed me to do deadlifts (a major trigger for me) with heavier weights even after I told her that was not a good idea. She would not take no for an answer. This caused the worst back pain I have even experienced with shooting pain down my leg. I am still recovering from it. The blame is not fully on her. I did the deadlifts, I am aware that I needed to advocate better for myself. However, this is not an acceptable way for a trainer to act. After every one of her classes I left feeling weak and ashamed. I know I am not the only one who has had complaints about this trainer. A different trainer prided himself on doing the workout with the class. Are you working out or teaching? How can you keep an eye on what everyone is doing when you are also working out? I am not talking a little hammer curl...I am talking full on burpees. This trainer seemed annoyed with me when I asked him to turn the music down or asked for modifications. He would not give me even a second of his time to voice my concerns. Overall, The Camp's model in my opinion is overly focused on lifting the most heavy weights possible in a loud and fast paced environment. When classes are smaller, it is possible for trainers to keep a close eye on form. However, financially, small classes are not feasible (this place is at the brink of shutting down) and it seems that in larger classes it is difficult to ensure safe form. I remember one of my final classes I looked up at the other people in my group and we had no idea what we were doing. There were not enough appropriate sized weights for everybody. It was loud and hectic, almost impossible to get the attention of the trainer because the music was so loud. About the loud music...there were members who wore ear plugs because it was so loud. My Apple Watch warned me of high decibels almost every training I attended. Did I bring up my concerns to the owners? Sure did. I was told nothing could be done about the music-even though it was difficult to hear what the trainer was saying even when they were right next to you. Regarding my concern with coaches not modifying work outs and being pushy? I was told to choose a different coach's classes to attend and attributed to "personality differences" (also challenging because I could only attend evenings of some days). This gym is not open all day. When I shared concerns regarding my pain and that I wanted to stop attending classes due to the advice of my physical therapist, I was told I probably have a herniated disk and should see my doctor as well as a chiropractor ( and to look into the "fascinating history of chiropractics" when I brought up the lack of evidence in most chiropractic practices), and the advice of my PT was dismissed. FYI, my doctor referred me to PT in the first place. Disheartening behavior coming from a healthcare professional. Coaches also push members to buy work out supplements advertising them as "weight burning" among other claims...this is not science based and is taking advantage of people who trust you. As healthcare professionals, how can you support such claims being made in your business? I realize that, sadly, this is normal for the fitness industry.

    I want to start of with how I actually really liked the crossfit workouts. The coaches are…read moremotivating and very accommodating. However, it has been a rough few months for me and I haven't been able to go lately. I decided to cancel my membership with the hopes of returning once everything settles down. When I messaged the owner Gabe, I was being honest about why I had to cancel even if it's my right to keep my personal issues to myself. Seeing as I am the one paying, I feel like it's up to me to decide whether I want to terminate the service or not. Instead of respecting my decision to leave, I was met with passive aggressive behavior as seen in the screenshot below. Before committing to this, just take into consideration that you might be met with the same attitude when you want to terminate your membership.

Stay with me: Facility - The 209 building is one of the biggest facilities I have ever seen. They have several racks, a separate rope climb section, indoor track for runs and 20 or so rowers and bikes. I can go on and on! No shortage of equipment. Lastly, the place is very clean! Coaching - The coach for my 9am class today was knowledgable, energetic and communicated well. He worked just as well with the veteran members as he did with the newbies. I'm not an expert by any stretch, but all of his teaching methods were sound and consistent with crossfitting best practices, to the best of my knowledge. Crossfit 209 is setting the bar for Crossfit Boxes in the 209 area code and beyond. Good work guys, keep up the good work!
