I have been working out with Anatoliy for a little over two years to increase muscle strength,…read moreimprove skeletal structure and balance. Here's what he had to work with: a now 81-year old man who needed a hip replacement about 18 months ago, has had surgery for an arthritic hand that has to be babied in workouts and has long-standing lower back issues. Despite the issues, Anatoliy stays on goal by being responsive to needs as they arise. He is flexible to adjust to circumstances as they arise because of his wide knowledge of anatomy and technique. He has really helped me through my "old man" infirmities while keeping me working on building strength and balance. He is improving my quality of life and probably my longevity. In sum, he is an experienced professional who is responsive and caring.

I've been working with Anatoliy for a little over 7 months now, after coming to him with a list of…read moreitems that I was looking to address (e.g., rotator cuff injuries and impingements, general strength and endurance training, cycling fitness, posture improvement). I am thrilled to report that after years of physical therapy with very limited success, I am finally seeing progress in all of the aforementioned areas. My shoulder health, mobility, strength, endurance, and balance have seen significant improvements. Anatoliy is knowledgeable, kind, patient, motivating, and mindful of your limitations, all while finding exercises and regiments that target focus areas while avoiding injuries. Form over speed, Anatoliy tailors each workout to your needs. He's a stand-up guy that gives you his undivided attention at all times--allocating the entire session to you, 1:1. His gym is well equipped and he's meticulous in its hygiene. If you are serious about your fitness and results, and want a coach and fitness partner to get you there, Anatoliy comes with my highest recommendation.

I was still skeptical but decided to give it a try and WOW! This place has really turned around! The workouts are challenging and always different, which i love otherwise I get bored. The trainers are super helpful, encouraging and always motivating and challenging us. I need to modify for lots of injuries and they always find substitutes that accommodate my injuries and are still challenging. Zero issues with management, they are caring, open to hear our opinions and run a tight ship. Having childcare is amazing, no excuses for this mana! All the childwatch employees are angels and I love that my girls can watch their mama get strong from the little window. But it's the community for me... WILDLY supportive, I never feel intimidated or judged. I only feel loved! Everyone who works out here is genuinely kind and always cheering for you, which is just a testament to the hard work the leadership team has done to cultivate this culture of support. I'm a member for life!

I'm not a big review writer BUT I've really enjoyed my time at CrossFitSun. I love love love…read moreTrainer Jen and her Strong Start courses. She is so warm and welcoming and she genuinely looks like she's enjoying what she's doing. It's not just a job for her but a joint journey through fitness. I am not athletic and had embraced my sedentary lifestyle for decades... until now. Through Jen's Foundation course and Build Together course, she's taught me the basics on how to get stronger, healthier, and athletically smarter. She touches on the science behind how and why we should do specific motions. Then demonstrates amazing examples on what poor vs correct techniques look like. She isn't shy to correct my form (but in a fun, encouraging way). Classes are small so you are guaranteed attention and personalized feedback. Guaranteed she is your #1 cheerleader through it all. I'm so happy with how far I've come in just a couple months. I've already signed up for her next cycle! Also, quick shout out to Trainer Leslie and her MomFit class! I dropped in on a few of these and this class is also great. Leslie has a keen eye on catching even just the smallest adjustments for improving your form. It's always a great time at CrossFitSun

I definitely feel the community is one of the main reasons why I keep coming back day after day. Over the decade, priorities and goals change. I joined Coach Leslie's Mom Fit class so I can get additional strength training in. Since starting earlier this year, I've increased lean mass by 3.8 lbs, as well as decrease my fat mass, visceral fat, and fat percentage. All measured by DEXA scans. If you're willing to put in the work, whether you're new to weights, experienced or have other goals, Leslie can lead the way. I've also had the pleasure of training with Coach Jen (aka Chloe). She's a Hyrox athlete and has set-up the Strong Start program for women. Foundations for those brand new and Build for those with more experience.
