I've been with Rare since July of 2019 and had hit a plateau with my weight loss. I decided to try the 28 Day Holiday Challenge to jumpstart my exercise and weight loss and I am not disappointed! I'm 28 days, I've lost 5 pounds and 2 pants sizes! The non-scale victories are awesome too! For the first time in forever, I'm wearing a size small sweatshirt! I tried it on and was shocked and so happy when it zipped with room to spare! I've achieved so many personal goals with Rare like double under jump rope skills, hand stand push-ups and pull up bar work. These are all things I never thought I could do in a million years. Rare changed my entire outlook on fitness and healthy eating with the workouts and the challenge! The supplements are wonderful too. The Burn AM and Test Storm give me tons of energy and power me through my busy work days and workouts! The Intra powder has virtually erased my muscle soreness after workouts and the pre-workout powder is delicious and makes my workouts smooth and full of energy! If you need to jumpstart your fitness goals in a fun, fit, family environment, I definitely recommend a challenge and subsequent membership to Rare CrossFit. It's not like any other gym because when I walk in, I feel like family. The coaches and fellow members are the most supportive exercise community I've ever been a part of and I used to hate working out. Now, I hate missing a day at Rare because it makes me feel fantastic! Join the Rare family, you won't regret it! I've struggled with diet and exercise my whole life. I've tried diets and exercise before with varying results. I'll lose the weight only to gain it all back. However, the Challenge at Rare and subsequent membership and workout plan have helped me to lose 13 pounds and 3 percent body and gain a confidence that I've never seen before. The program at Rare isn't a "diet" plan but more a way of life. The sense of community that they have created motivates me to work out and be successful. The coaches at Rare truly care about their clients and this is a breath of fresh air in the gym/fitness industry. I've learned how to eat healthy instead of crash dieting and I've learned to love exercise and how to push myself past the limits of anywhere I thought I could ever go! The gym and workouts are for users of all fitness levels. I love my Rare family and the things they've helped me achieve and maintain. Today, I'm down a total of 45 pounds and so happy! Thanks To the Rare family for teaching me how to be healthy and love my workouts again! read more

As a massage therapist who specializes in sports and medical massage, I get to hear all the dirty details about every workout place around town! I can honestly say not a single client I have ever seen has had anything negative to say about RARE! Their reputation for a friendly, non-judgmental, and inviting environment has always followed them. As a matter of fact their enthusiasm and desire to help is what initially drew me to them! When I choose to workout I've got to go all in or nothing and RARE was the perfect place to do that. They provided me not only nutritional support and supplements to get me on the track I needed to succeed in their 28 day challenge but they also gave me the emotional and mental support to tackle this challenge.  I am an over thinker and when it come to being in a gym and trying to workout I am very judgemental of myself, often times talking myself down in my own mind. It's been one of my bigger struggles, but because of RAREs stellar environment and constant encouragement from every member and trainer I quickly felt settled in and found myself not struggling against my own mind. Over the course of this 28 day challenge I have managed to stay accountable over the holidays and still enjoy myself. It was very much needed and thanks to RARE I can see myself beginning to get on a healthier path and a better start into the new year. Looking forward to continuing my journey at their facility! read more

RARE-FIT 6 Week Challenge: A+ Program Lost 5% body fat (11.7 lbs of solid FAT lost!!!) I reached my goal in the 6 weeks and couldn't be more proud. I am 48 years old and brand new to CrossFit. Honestly, I thought I would hate it but knew I needed to make a lifestyle change in order to get healthier. Turns out, I didn't hate (well, maybe a little at first) but I love it now! I haven't felt this great in a long time (probably in over 20 years). I have gained strength, endurance, motivation and confidence. This is an amazing group of coaches that are here to help and teach everyone of ALL fitness levels and abilities. They focus on proper technique for safety and willingly help you modify movements as needed. We all know "diet is key". This program actually shows you what, how and when to eat, and no, you don't have to buy any special foods or supplements. They provided a weight based diet plan with "eat this, not that"-like instructions as well as a recipe book to make the most of the healthy food choices. It truly is amazing how much progress can be made in 6 weeks! RARE CrossFit combines the right coaches, the right atmosphere and other "family" members with similar intentions that will help you reach your personal fitness goals. Overall: Great facility, great workouts, great teaching by all the coaches. I highly recommend you give them a try! read more

I always hated exercise, even when I was thin way back when. I was not the least bit interested in lifting weights eventhough my dad was a weightlifter all his life. I joined Rare Crossfit in my late 40s and now, in my 50s and 5 yrs later I am still there! Adam and Lee and their team of coaches are great. I love the Rare community, I LOVE the workouts, and I really appreciate the health programs Rare provides as a benefit to their members. I am doing a diet/health program now called the 28-Day Challenge and as part of that program I am using Prestige Lab supplements. i haven't had any issues with the supplements and I noticed that when I use the pre-workout and intra powder in my water, I don't feel sore anymore 1-3 days after I workout! With exercise, and now better nutrition and supplementation I am noticing that my clothes are fitting better especially around the waist. Thank you Rare Crossfit!! read more

My journey at Rare stated in October, although I've started and stopped several exercise programs in 2017, it was the family and group style exercise program at Rare, that has mimicked the exercise programs that I've experienced in the military, minus the Olympic style lifting routines. The Coaches at Rare have shown patience and true concern for my development in the sport of Crossfit, Although I'm a Lone wolf when it comes to group exercise, the Staff and people at Rare have made coming to work out a great experience. My first 4 months have been very enlightening, as I added some middle distance running, and a complete diet overhaul to my routine, it will be Rare Crossfit we're the Lone Wolf come in from the cold. read more

After completing the 6 week challenge at RARE Gym, I cannot be more satisfied with the results. The team of trainers challenged me with a difficult workout program, and provided a friendly and encouraging atmosphere which kept me motivated and wanting to go back. With an internet portal which includes many delicious recipes, it was easy to maintain a healthy diet without giving up too much flavor. 6 weeks later and 23.2lbs less, I highly recommend RARE Gym to anyone who would like to take serious steps into a healthier lifestyle. There you'll not only find trainers who know what they are doing and members motivated to lead healthy lives, but a community that makes you feel like family. read more

The RARE Community is simply amazing... feels like my second home. It doesn't matter the skill level or shape the athletes are in, everyone here is welcoming from their office staff, leadership team, coaching staff and their athletes. I've been to many gyms over my life time and and haven't ever quite felt like it was home and that I could accomplish my health and fitness goals. The RARE team is educated and committed to my success and it is great to see how their staff is always trying to add value to their athletes with free seminars and workshops.

I started going to RARE CrossFit about 6 months ago. I will say this is one of the best gyms I've gone to.

I'm not saying it won't hurt, I am saying it will be worth it. I really appreciate the help of Adam, Lee, Deloris, and all the coaches. This is a great place to be, you won't regret it. read more

I'm probably super picky when it comes to finding a new gym. When I look for a new gym, I look for how welcoming is the staff, will they correct my bad form, and how do the members react to a new face in the class? When I tell you, I was blown away that staff and members were so friendly and eager to help me on day one, I knew this was my gym. This gym is so much more then a gym, it's a family. I know I can call/text/email them if I need anything. We all want to see the best in each other and we all push each other to get to our goals. This gym truly has a special place in my heart. This gym has so much to offer to every level. read more

They will be with you 100% of the way to teach you how to reach not only your fitness goals, but how to change your eating habits as well.

Because I travel a lot, I've dropped in at many, many CrossFit gyms over the years. Rare is without a doubt among the best I've visited. I worked out at Rare three times while spending Thanksgiving week with family in Fredericksburg. The workouts were challenging and fun, the coaches were knowledgeable and helpful, and the members were extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend making Rare your gym home if you live in Fredericksburg or the surrounding area or dropping in with them if you're visiting the area and looking for a place to workout. read more

If you are looking for the best CrossFit box in Fredericksburg RARE is the place to go. They have a well trained staff that cares about their members. They create a community environment that keeps you motivated in achieving your fitness goals. Strength training, oly lifting, endurance, and nutrition coaching are all available. I have been at RARE for over 3 years now and I have never been able to stay on a training program this long before. I couldn't have done it without the great coaches and friends I have at RARE. read more

I started with RARE back in September with the 6 week challenge and since then I've lost at least 10 lbs. of fat. Though the best part is that I don't feel sluggish anymore. I feel like a younger version of myself and I could of done that by going to the gym. Except I've tried that before and would fail every time and even though I slack off occasionally like all humans do the RARE Family is there for me when I need it and provide me with tons of advice, motivation, and accountability. read more

Great gym! Ive been learning crossfit here for about 6 months and I love the place. Great team atmosphere, knowledgeable coaching, and fun environment. I look forward to going everyday. In my opinion their best feature is how well work outs are scaled down or up to fit your skill level. I had very limited Olympic lifting experience before starting, which left me slightly apprehensive about trying crossfit. But the coachings been great and I've seen huge improvements already read more

I have been crossfitting at RARE for 5 years and it's great. Caring, knowledgeable coaches and challenging WODs. Classes are structured with mobilization and warm-up and review of movements. I have always felt welcomed and challenged here...that's why I come back again and again. As for drop-ins, I know for a fact that they allowed and buying a t-shirt for payment is pretty standard for Crossfit drop-ins. Come give RARE a try.... I doubt you will be disappointed! read more

My wife and myself did the 6 week challenge and we signed up for 6 months. Everyone there is great! Not only the people there getting in shape and taking control of their life, but the entire staff! The staff are great! They treat everyone with respect, encouragement and not just a number! I would highly recommend going here for anyone trying to get in shape and want to be in better health. It is a great gym where you can get a great workout! read more

RARE CrossFit is AMAZING! It's like no other gym I've been to. For everything that they offer, It's worth it, and very reasonable. I love the coaches, and the owners are very understanding, and you can tell they think more of their clients than they do themselves. Which I think that's how it's supposed to be. They want to change your life. I've seen so many of their clients transform. I'm excited to be a part of this gym. read more

If anyone is looking to get healthy and wants to work out with some great coaches thus is the place for you. read more
