Crooked River CrossFit, Mayfield OH

Fantastic Gym. My wife and I just started going about a month ago. This is about the 6th gym we’ve attended Group Workouts at (in our 15+ years of attending formal gyms), and I can honestly say it’s in the top 2 of gyms we’ve been to. (I’d put it number 1, but we had a gym we attended for 3 years at one point, so it wouldn’t be fair without the run time.)

About 5 years ago, my wife was a personal / GroupEx trainer (mostly doing Les Mills), and she has extremely high standards when it comes to form / safety at a gym. She was very apprehensive about doing CrossFit because she had heard horror stories and had witnessed some major injuries from people she had worked with, when they left for CrossFit. We have been extremely happily surprised at how focused on form and safety Crooked River has been. Before they allowed us come to the general classes, they required us to do 4 sessions 1 on 2 with the trainers where every movement that will be done in the workouts was covered in great detail and our form was monitored and critiqued for safety / technique.

Since then, we’ve attended about 8 classes, and we have nothing but good things to say. The trainers are fantastic, the workouts burn a ton, but you don’t realize it until the end as there are plenty of breaks and the format is aimed to cover multiple muscle groups.

The community of folks attending are super awesome and supportive as well. There are even some fun traditions: “New Shoes / Gear” callouts / no cleanup until everyone is done / root for the last guy, etc.

The App / System for tracking classes / workouts is pretty slick and useful as well. Details the workout (with modifications for those who need them) and allows you to track progress against the prescripted workout. You can compare your notes the next time the workout comes up.

Can’t speak highly enough about this gym. We’ve been incredibly impressed.

I came to Ohio from Vermont for an 8 week clinical and this gym made it a home away from home! The members (shout out to the 6 AM crew) were kind and welcoming. The coaches were helpful and personable. Highly recommend.

Awesome gym that offers group classes throughout the day. All the coaches have been extremely helpful and the members are friendly and supportive. Highly recommend.

This is my first time trying a CrossFit gym and my initial training and coach have been great. I am excited to continue working out and learning with them.

When I rejoined CrossFit, the entire team welcomed me with opened arms. My body went into action where I left off several years ago. The staff is warm and inviting, which makes you want to continue on this journey. I'm so happy to be back and I know I'm here to stay this time. I'm listening more to my body. Im not trying to keep up with others like in the past. I'm going at my pace and slowly increasing my goals. I'm so glad to be back

I drop in at this place whenever I visit Cleveland. Was just there today and had James as the coach. Really great place and James is an excellent and attentive coach. The rigs and all the gear are in great shape and the gym is very intelligently laid out to maximize personal space and ensure everyone has access to whatever. Highly recommend this spot.

Great CrossFit gym. Everyone is very welcoming and the coaching is great. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in CrossFit.

Great atmosphere and great people! Anyone of all ability levels are welcome and they make you feel part of the group!

Excellent place to burn calories, get in shape and become part of a HIGHLY motivated team!

I've only been at Crooked River very briefly but have absolutely fallen in love. Everyone is very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. The coaches focus on making sure everything can be scaled for everyone's level and abilities and safety is the highest importance. The box is full of amazing equipment including some I've never been able to use before visiting Crooked River (Ski Erg I'm looking at you)

It's incredibly welcoming, easy to find, and affordable.
Anyone looking for a quick drop in or a new box please consider Crooked River to be your new place to go.

The sense of community at CrossFit is unparalleled. The coaches are professional, the members are friendly, diverse, supportive and inclusive. The system pushes me to strive for greatness in every workout. Besides, the CrossFit offers a wide range of training options, the variety keeps things interesting and you never get bored or plateau in your fitness journey.

I’ve was a CRC member for a year before I moved and now participate virtually from FL. Great programming at a reasonable price. I’m able to use my own gym and scale as needed but can “compete” and benchmark for motivation and accountability.

Knowledgeable coaches! Friendly members! Willing to teach and show you how to make the workouts your own. It’s a place that feels like a second home! Thank you CRC!

You can not find a better place to get back into working out or to start new healthy habits. Everyone is very supportive and inviting. Very motivating environment!

Good coaching and a great community of friendly people. If you are interested in a cross fit gym, this is the one!
