Someone pretending to be me posted negative comments about this place. DISREGARD THAT REVIEW AS IT IS COMPLETELY FAKE! It says Ive been coming in for 2 years but in reality its been less than a year. CF 15-501 is a great spot. The coaches have been attentive every time Ive stopped in, the other people there are friendly, and their COVID cleaning procedures & precautions have been great.
Ive dropped in a few times over the past two years. Really enjoyed the first time or two, but the last couple times were less than ideal. The coach (no longer Jim) really is not engaged like youd expect at a crossfit box, and not particularly pleasant early in the morning. Further, the gym wasnt clean despite the ongoing pandemic. The people that go there are nice and are probably what keep it going. Only crossfit gym on south side of Chapel Hill, so I hope it stays open as Im in town often.
I’m still new here, but my dad and I both really really love it! The coaches are awesome, super helpful with developing form/technique and always push us to be our best. Everybody has been super kind and welcoming, too. It’s fun to learn a new sport and be able to compete against myself. Also, I really like seeing the big doggies. Added bonus.
The greatest gym ever! Everyone made me feel so welcome when I first started working out at this gym, even though I was so out of shape. The more elite competitive athletes were always willing to show support and information. The coaches REALLy know their stuff and take safety, form, and technique seriously. The coaches also have an amazing sports background and experience!!! I am so glad I joined and am LOVING my results.
Best coaches around hands down that encourage and motivate you to be your best while learning each movement with the proper technique! Great community feel with genuine people that I look forward to working out with everyday that I go.CF 15-501 makes people of all skill levels from beginners to advanced athletes feel welcomed.
I have been coming here since it opened. Its not just another box where they give you dirty equipment, have fumble around to where you dont know what to work on, or do incorrect form to the point of hurting yourself. Every coach there is super knowledgeable and will help any individual breakdown a movement and be able to scale any workout so there isnt any barrier for any person to join.
I cant say enough good things about the community or the coaches. Jim, Hunter, Caitlyn, and Mirka are fantastic. Theyre always there to encourage you to be YOUR best, not compare you to others. I didnt think I would stay past my 6 week beginner course but here I am 18 months in and no end in sight. All the preconceived notions I had about CrossFit went right out the window on day 1. If youve thought about trying it, CrossFit 15-501 is THE place to start.
Recommendation: Make Crossfit 15-501 your home away from home.Jim has built an awesome community at Crossfit 15-501 at all levels. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and empowering. The community is welcoming, motivating, and inclusive for all athletes, regardless of level.I had been Crossfitting for 6 years when I joined, and Jim and the crew helped me to make major progress.On the other side of the spectrum, I talked my mom into joining at 64 years old. Her fitness and has just gone through the roof, as has her enthusiasm for living a healthy life.Its always hard, but its always worth it. Enjoy!
Being well into my fifties I never thought that I would enter a CrossFit Gym. The beginner class at 15-501 lured me in. I had never lifted a barbell and had no idea there were so many cleans, presses, squats, lifts and OMG the burpees! There were times when learning all of these along with the CrossFit language seemed impossible. That is where the 15-501 trainers and members come in. The trainers are constantly teaching, watching, re-teaching and encouraging you throughout each class. When I didn’t think I could do any more burpees or run any farther, other members who weren’t even doing the class jumped in and did it with me while encouraging me to finish! This along with the improvement I have seen in my strength and stamina are why I continue to go to CrossFit 15-501. This is an awesome gym with awesome trainers and members. They are a community you will not regret checking out!
CrossFit 15-501 serves a wide variety of fitness needs, ranging from CrossFit Kids to Legends (older adults not wanting the intensity of Xfit). The coaching staff motivates and improves anyone-from elite athletes engaged in competition to the lifestyle enthusiast. The gym is brought together with social events, Facebook posts, names posted on the whiteboard as well as partner workouts. Skipping workouts is almost impossible with such avid Crossfitters cheering each other on. A fun, challenging place to work out.
CrossFit 15-501 has been a game changer for me. I was new to Crossfit and was not sure initially. But last 6 weeks at crossfit have been definitely very rewarding. Hunter, Jim and Mirka are fantastic trainers. They have been very particular on the program strategy (I did a 6 week challenge), daily workouts (mixing up and ordering the workout for best results) and most importantly the form and efficiency. I got great results myself and would definitely recommend this.
Great community, excellent coaches and overall wonderful place to workout. There is a Crossfit closer to where I live but I drive a little furtherto Crossfit 15-501 because it is so worth it!
Good workouts, Good Community.
