1 Year Review: I avoided CrossFit because I didn't want to get injured or be around a bunch of "brohs". Blind luck brought me to UpReach. In the past year I have HEALED a lifetime of untreated injuries from going there. I'm no longer in constant pain every time I move, use stairs, or even stand up after a period of sitting. I've dramatically increased my range of motion as well, and learned how to do things I'd never thought possible. My overall fitness level is phenomenal. Coaching: I can't emphasize enough the value of the coaching, especially as I have tried out a couple dozen other CrossFit gyms. The coaches here have a well thought out warm-up and cool-down, including mobility and accessory work. They also explain the "why" of it. There is careful instruction and demonstration for each movement of the workout from the best of the best of the best coaches. During workouts there is constant attention and coaching to both increase performance and eliminate the risk of injury. Ownership: The gym transitioned owners about 11 months ago. Every aspect of the gym has improved in that timeframe. Facilities, programs, and culture literally improve daily. The owner actually cares about the outcomes of the members and isn't just there to maximize profits, but instead focuses on the well-being of the members. The members are also really fantastic humans and have become the foundation of my social circle in and out of the gym. This is an incredibly inclusive community that will accept people wherever they are in life. Finding this gym has been the best thing that has happened to me since coming to Austin 6 years ago. read more

I've been a gym-rat my entire life, and this is the absolute best place I've ever gone. The community is friendly and supportive - many of them have become good friends in the past year. The coaches really know their stuff and can help me modify when I have limitations due to some old injuries. Great workouts, great friends. The absolute best!! read more

After shopping around for a workout place, I have found an UpReach cross fit. They take from the beginning Tobi taught my body movement and how to take care of yourself. Andrea is my coach and hands down the best one in Austin. As a newbie to Crossfit, he taught me the movement, what weight to use and to to kill myself in the process, to pace myself with the weight, work more on technic. And after two months, I LOVE IT, I feel better, I move better, I'm more flexible (Didn't think that was possible) and I can see the benefit in my cardio on my mountain biking. What can I say, I'm hooked. Go coach Dre :-) read more

Truly the best gym experience. Workouts are fantastic. Coaching is excellent: clear, helpful, motivating, safe. Fellow workout partners are all so nice. Everyone is encouraging. No matter where you are at in your fitness endeavors, this is the place to grow, learn, get healthier, stronger. The facility is awesome: garage doors that open. My whole family works out here. We love UpReach! read more

UpReach is an incredible place to work out, here's why: the coaches are well trained, attentive, and committed to YOU! Crossfit has been around a while now and has earned many reputations, some positive and some negative. Maybe you've heard that the workouts are intense and you're concerned you might not be athletic enough. Maybe you've heard horror stories about people who get injured due to poor form or lifting too much weight. I had these same concerns going in myself, but I quickly realized this place is special. The coaching staff are amazing and are there to support you along your fitness journey. If you're just starting out, they'll consult with you and help you scale your workouts. Like Chuck Norris, they're highly trained and are always watching. If you're lifting too much, if your form isn't right, the coaches will see it and give you personalized guidance. The team at UpReach have created a supportive environment dedicated to helping you become the best you possible! Come check it out and see why it's such a special place. read more

I am new to CrossFit and I am loving it! UpReach CrossFit is such an inviting, motivating and inspirational gym! The owners Natalie and Matt are incredible and super friendly. Justin is one of the coaches and he's the best! He always takes the time to explain the exercises and helps you work on technique! Since the first day I walked in I felt extremely welcomed and comfortable! I feel a sense of belonging when I'm there! It's such an incredible community! The facility is top of the line... great equipment, tons of space and always clean! I'm blessed to have found this gym! If you're looking for a CrossFit gym you must check out UpReach!! read more

I joined UpReach Crossfit about 3 months ago and it's like I have been adopted into an awesome family!! The coaches (and owners) truly care about their members. The community here is strongly built on trust, sincerity, integrity and a lot of sweat and tears There's no drama here. There's no toxic energy here. There's no discrimination here regardless of your fitness level. There's just pure positivity, motivation and badass coaching! Every movement can be modified and scaled to your fitness level and ability. I know I won't be going anywhere else! read more

Amazing community and coaching, come join us if you are in the area. All ages and fitness levels are welcome, you get to the gym and they will do the rest. read more

A great place for positive workouts and energy! The gym is super clean and the coaches are so friendly! Definitely worth checking out!

I've been doing CrossFit for over eight years, and I'm very happy to have found UpReach Crossfit. Their doors have been open for only a few months, but the coaches have years of experience. They're knowledgeable, they know how to scale training to your abilities and they know how to encourage you to get the most out of training. I did a free Saturday training session before I joined, and I was sold. read more

Wonderful community, terrific coaching. Something for everyone. Best in Austin.

Upreach is the kind of place that you walk into and immediately feel welcomed and comfortable. That's because of the people. Justin, Natalie, and Matt have succeeded in providing a place where building others up is the name of the game. They continually reflect on their business practices and how they can make Upreach a business that serves each member in the way that meets his or her individual needs. And I can't fail to mention the facility. I've been to several Crossfit "gyms", and I had determined that there must be some movement to keep us all working out in an abandoned warehouse. Not so. Upreach is CLEAN. It is spacious, bright and inviting. There is more than enough equipment and it's all brand new and well cared for. Well done, guys. You're nailing it. read more

I recently moved to Texas, leaving behind my amazing and very well established Crossfit gym/"home away from home" in California. I am SO happy to say that I think I have found my new Texas Crossfit home in UpReach Crossfit. I have only been a member for a few weeks, but am happily driving almost 20 minutes to get there because it's such a great place. Here are some of the things that I am loving about my experience so far... 1. The sense of COMMUNITY. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted by the owner, and all of the other members. People are friendly and genuine. There are weekly "family dinners" and the staff organizes both social events and extra classes-- there has been a boat party and a free Oly Weightlifting clinic offered in the first 3 weeks I've been a member! The owners, coaches, and members are down to earth. There are so many different people of various ages, professions, and backgrounds-- everyone is there to have fun and get better/healthier! It's also extremely kid friendly. UpReach offers kids' Crossfit classes, and many members bring their kids with them to the gym :). 2. The COACHING (and programming!). I have taken classes with Justin, Andre, and Natalie so far and have been so impressed with their POSITIVITY, professionalism, and coaching skill. Each coach demonstrates the movements for EVERY class (it's a big pet peeve of mine when coaches rush through instructions). The coaches all provide cues and suggestions with kindness-- they come from a place of expertise and I trust that they will correct my form and keep me from getting hurt. They also always provide scaling options and take the time to figure out what every single person in the class needs to be successful (and feel like a badass). I have already made some real improvements in my lifts and have even had a few PRs! The programming is fun, and extremely varied. It is clear that Justin has been an athlete his whole life, but he also prioritizes making workouts accessible for ALL members. The programming is highly varied, but also very thoughtful- looking forward to a week of programming I know that I won't be bored, but I can also see how the combinations of movements are intended to improve overall fitness/skill. I appreciate the mix of gymnastic skills and lifting before each WOD. There's nothing worse than boring/predictable or ineffective programming-- you will be pleasantly surprised by the programming here! 3. The FACILITY. The gym is brand new, with brand new equipment-- I know that these things will last when the gym is no longer brand new because the staff/members take care of their stuff. Everything gets wiped down after each class and the floors are always kept clean (another pet peeve is paying a lot of money for a gym membership and working out on a dirty floor/nasty equipment). There are nice bathrooms--one with a SHOWER!-- and there's a cold water dispenser for water refills during/after workouts. The one thing that is missing would be a vending machine with a variety of post work-out drinks/snacks, but there are FitAids available for purchase in the office. Overall, I cannot recommend this gym highly enough. Whether you're an experienced Crossfit-er, or are just looking for a supportive community in which to try a new exercise routine, you will feel right at home at UpReach! read more

Best programming, best coaches, best facilities! Most amazing community! Life changing!

Fantastic Crossfit Gym! Can't say enough about this place. Great coaches (Supportive, Knowledgeable), top notch facility and equipment (Rogue, FringeSport) and very welcoming and friendly community. You feel great when you walk in this place and even better when you walk out. read more

The first time I ever came across Coach Justin and the community he built, I felt at home. UpReach is more than just a crossfit gym, but a family. Your successes in and out of the gym are celebrated by everyone. The Malone's have done an amazing gym of creating a gym environment where you can walk in and feel at ease. The equipment is is all brand new and there is enough space to do so many activities! The coaching staff of Justin, Dre, Natalie, Toby, Johnny, and Sean is phenomenal. They each have their own strengths and are willing to help you better yourself both in class and at midnight when you text some random question about nutrition. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I moved to this box from another local box. Very positive environment. Knowledgeable coaches. Music is fairly clean which is rare. Good size space so not cramped even when large class size. read more

I am new to Crossfit and have thoroughly enjoyed the Upreach community. The coaches are caring and knowledgeable, helping me to modify my workouts as needed to build my strength. People in the classes are friendly and encourage each other every day. What a fun and challenging way to get healthier! Try it for yourself soon! read more
