I love my Crossfit gym!The coaches are great especially for someone like me who was totally new to fitness and CrossFit. They make you feel welcomed. Owners Heidi and Steve are incredible and coach Isaias is an amazing coach. Highly recommend the Playground Crossfit Gym.

The BEST gym in South Florida.The owners Steve and Heidi Bowser literally have hundreds of certifications and decades of fitness knowledge. This is THE gym to go-to for any and all of your fitness needs and goals 💪🏽

Well I waited to put the review because I wanted to be here a month before I’ll say anything!Well I broke any record I had and it’s just because of the high level of the coaches in this facility! Heidy the owner will always correct you and those little comments make a big deference for me!I master many new movements in such short time and it is all because of the experience of the coaches.The facility is at the highest level that you can find, they have anything you can think of and more, they have kids program that is top notch as well!

The staff is amazingly courteous and professional, and you can tell they have a heart for keeping children happy. Highly recommend them for a rainy day or for a birthday party!

This place is great! A lot of equipment, great trainers if you want them, clean, healthy food available, and some more random equipment for a change of pace like a gigantic tire and a rope climbing machine to keep things interesting.

My wife and I have been members of Broward CrossFit for the past year. Previously we worked out for many years at a generic, machine-based gym. This is sooo much better in every way. We have made more gains this year then we did in all the many years before. Everyone at any age and any level of fitness can be accommodated through clever adaptations of the class activities by the outstanding coaches. There are classes at all times of day and the class format is much better than going alone - high energy, fun and educational. The CrossFit format means that you are challenged in every way possible and no two workouts are the same. You have to be committed -- i.e., no results if you dont show up -- and you are going to work hard -- but what a great place to do it!

The teachers are outstanding, polished and dedicated. I highly recommend them! Keep up the good work!

Great gym and awesome coaches. The place is well kept and has a clean shower room/bathroom. The coaches are very motivating. They make sure you do the right thing

Broward CrossFit is a top notch facility. The trainers and staff are the best around! I would not want to go anywhere else! If you are new to CrossFit or have been doing it a while they will take great care of you. The coaches are very attentive and want to make sure you are doing everything properly and safely. Safety is the top priority here. While they would love to see you get better, they will not let you sacrifice proper form to get there, they want to make sure you do not get hurt! CrossFit is not easy, but it is a lot of fun, and very rewarding. Especially when you start to see results!

Huge space, lots of room, lots of new equipment! Plenty of rowers and the most air assault bikes Ive seen in one gym! The programming is top notch and the coaching is too. Very friendly and welcoming environment! I recommend this place to everyone at all fitness levels!

Great trainers. I love training here. They ensure safety first. Coming in I was overweight and worried about being able to do cross fit or the program being mostly men lighting extreme weights. Not true at all, they scale the workouts, to ensure people are safe and no people do not throw up. I never felt judged or put down due to weight or fitness level. Also, I was presently surprised how many women were there. It is a nice, family facility. Everyone pushes to make each other better and best no creepy guys. I attended Lizs classes and loved her. I also worked with Brad, Billy, Heidi, and Steve; all who are great. Classes are small, with trainers always around. At times there were 4 coaches in the class, for a class of 15! The coaches walk around and ensure everyone is doing the workout properly and will help you do better.

Definitely love the vibe of the gym. Its hard to go workout in gyms when you arent comfortable but this gym was very welcoming and not intimidating.

Great gym and awesome coaches. The place is well kept and has a clean shower room/bathroom. The coaches are very motivating. They make sure you do the right thing

Wonderful personal attention. The nutritional meals are excellent. Owner and trainers are so helpful they make you feel so welcome that I look forward to my visits there.

I have never been to a gym, but when I came here I felt as if I had been to millions of gyms, but none of them were as good as this one. As an avid smoker I try my hardest to find new ways to break my addiction, to no avail I had found nothing. But when I walked through the doors of this gym, my God it was as if I had never smoked at all. The Playground Gym is my new addiction. It is so welcoming and just a great place overall. As a misogynist I never respected women, until I met Heidi Bowser. Heidi is one of the owners of the Playground Gym, she is a world record holder, athlete and mother of two demons. She is such a strong and wonderful woman, she will make you feel right at home when you meet her. There are so many wonderful people you will meet here and they have great equipment and this place is very clean. I have definitely enjoyed my membership.

Lots of trainers to choose from. all equipment you need. Convenient and great people. time to get in shape, this is the place .

Ive been doing the FIT classes at Broward CrossFit bout about 3 weeks now and I can feel the difference already. Even though its a group class, I can still get individual instruction on my form and technique. All the coaches have been great, every workout has been a killer and different every time. Wish i had found this years ago.

Came in there, tried a few classes. After 3 weeks signed up and started breaking new grounds in terms of flexibility, strength, and speed. Ive only started in December and its been a very gratifying experience. Breaking personal records is exciting for the coaches almost as much as it is for you, and they let you know how proud they are all the time. Thanks guys!

I have tried many gyms over the years and I am really enjoying Crossfit Affliction. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I maybe a newbie, but people are always trying to help when I have questions. I am seeing results after my first month and am feeling much better at making a greater effort in my workouts.The programs change daily and the workouts are challenging. It does not matter what your age, you just do what you can plus a little more. It is an open air gym so you get a great sweat. Special thanks to Steve, Heidi, Liz and Billy - they have been so helpful as well as supportive.

Let me begin with walking into this facility and signing up was absolutely the best decision I have made for my health. The equipment available and guidance with trainers is by far the most elite experience you can expect to have in a gym. Not only am I doing things I didnt even fathom possible just a short time ago, but I have gained an amazing circle of friends. No one lets you quit and they will cheer you on till the very end. The point is for personal growth, so it doesnt matter if you finished first or last because we are all in it together. Its not only about getting a summer bod, its about finding your strengths and working on your weaknesses. If your looking for a box with an abundance of options, programming and good times then you have found it.

Incredible Instruction and Programming.No matter what level of fitness you are at this is by far the best CrossFit Training Facility around and Ive been to over 30 around the Country. Steve and Heidi run a world class training facility and constantly keep up on their education to pass onto their clients.Dont even bother checking any others out.

When I walked into Playground Broward CrossFit I immediately knew this would be my new home. Quality Coaching and Program Design is a must but 32 Rowers, 54 Ft Pull Up Rig and not to mention a Community that is second to none.I came from another gym that had some great athletes and okay coaches but more or less ran their facility more like a Frat house then a professional training facility.Lets face it we all get tweaks from training. Heidi, Steve, Billy, Liz, and Brad are the first one to tell me to back off on training and immediately how me Mobility and Stretching exercises to keep the body whole. We forget to add that in and EVERY Single class ends with a Stretching and mobility class. Ive been to over 30 CrossFit Gyms and never had such a great experience. I loved it so much I decided to do some privates to tighten up my Olympic Weightlifting movements. Class A facility.

I joined CFA about 3 months ago and Ive loved every minute of it. The people are so welcoming and caring that they would go out of their way to do anything for you. The trainers are awesome and they really focus on your form more then just how much you can lift which is so important because without the right form and technique you could injure yourself badly. I highly recommend this gym to anyone whos interested in trying out Crossfit, as well as those who are already experts!

Not only is this a state of the art facility, it has that friendly family environment. Everyone is there to help you get better and stronger, while still making if fun. Im new to crossfit and absolutely will never go back to a regular workout experience. The trainers are top notch!

This is an excellent facility with some of the best coaches in the business. We held a seminar here this past weekend and Steve and Heidi were more than accommodating. Their hospitality was first class. Would come again / would recommend!

Best gym with the best programming. if youre serious about training or just serious about getting in shape, this is the place. If you want someone to cottle you and use nice words, then go somewhere else. you will get yelled at. there is foul language. you will find support yet no one here is going to hold your hand, this isnt a daycare. you will sweat. you will cry. you may even find yourself curled up in the fetal position begging for your mommy. but you will discover an athlete in you, and thats a guarantee.

Huge facility, great coaching, and awesome members!! Have been a member for a few years and love this place. The programming is varied and fun. I am doing things I never thought i would, such as climbing ropes, doing pull-ups, doing double-unders with the jump rope, etc. Personally, I wouldnt go back to a regular gym.

One of the best gyms in the country! Great space, equipment and programming BUT, the best thing about it is the owners and staff... They actually care about your results. You owe it to yourself to give it a go.

Wow, this place is awesome! It is huge and has all types of equipment you could imagine. The coaches are SO friendly and helpful, unlike other gyms Ive been to. I cant say enough good things about this place; its made me actually start to enjoy working out again! As a former couch potato, believe me, I NEVER thought Id say something like that. :)

With a state of the art facility, and a coaching staff that gives it the family environment Broward CrossFit is a great gym to train at. With enough equipment and stations you never have to worry about not having enough of anything.Steve and Heidi welcomed my charity event with open arms and said we are always welcome.

From the environment to the staff ! This Place is amazing and has changed my life! I will forever be great full for the journey i am on here as i continue to grow and hit my goals ! The professional, passionate, and knowledgeable service that they have given me every step of the way is top notch ! Thanks guys and if anyone is having second thoughts about joining i highly recommend it!

Probably the most knowledgeable, experienced coaches in South Florida. And I cant imagine a nicer, more well equipped facility. And talk about going the extra mile for their athletes...how many other gyms out there are willing to put in a cryotherapy unit so that their athletes have access to the best recovery methods available?

The best fitness program I have tried. I spent a week here while visiting form out of town after doing lots of research in the surrounding area. These guys are well established and Pros. The overall care for your health Steve and his Staff gives is second to none.

Im very out of shape and was nervous about starting a new training program. Steve recommended I come in and take a tour of the facility and thank goodness I did. Steve explained how the program can be modified for beginners and he told me I would crawl before I walk. Sure enough Ive been a member of Broward CrossFit for 6 months and I lost 28 pounds and was able to do my first pull up unassisted. I cant wait to do my first scaled competition.

Stopped by while I was visiting. WOW! I wish this gym was near my home! I loved the coaching. This has to be the coolest CrossFit Gym Ive ever seen. Nice Work!

I have been working out at Affliction for the last 2 months and wouldnt change my experience for the world. I moved to Davie and immediately found a place where the people were like family and the coaches did everything in an athletes best interest. I am an adaptive athlete and need to scale workouts differently than most, but that hasnt stopped the coaches from helping my succeed. I am extremely grateful for affliction and the community I am now a part of.

Hands down the best gym Ive ever been to. Great equipment; experienced coaches; large facility. What more can you want?

Amazing gym. Amazing coaches. Steve and his team have a plan to fit any of your needs. Best gym hands down in Southern Florida.

I dropped in from out of town very impressed, Huge gym, friendly staff, and a fantastic workout! Happy to be returning for my time here in this part of the state. Highly recommend, one of the best boxes Ive visited.

Great facility, great coaching, and great programming.Are you looking for a top facility with great coaching/programming and a strong community in Broward County? I highly recommend these guys, Steven and team are constantly looking for ways to improve Broward Crossfit.

This gym is solid! Huge, well equipped! The owner Steven B knows his stuff when it comes to helping people transform their bodies and reach their health and fitness goals! Check it out!

Awesome Gym! Diff workout everyday. Trainers watch to make sure youre doing them right and motivate you to keep going. Great people at the gym as well. Great camaraderie and everyone is willing to help out.

I moved from Maryland a month and a half ago. A very good friend recommended that I check out Broward CrossFit, and Im glad this was the first place I stepped in. Great coaching and training. You just cant go wrong. This is my new CrossFit home gym!

Ive been a member of Broward Crossfit for two and a half years. I absolutely love the coaches and the programming is amazing. I m addicted to the place. I love the challenge and the results. Its such a positive environment from the members to the coaches. The coaches will encourage, correct you, and also push you to your limits and help you grow. Broward Crossfit is my home away from home.

Joining Broward CrossFit is honestly one of the top ten decisions Ive made in my entire life. Great facility and trainers. An overall awesome experience.

Awesome CrossFit gym with very knowledgable and professional coaches. They do the little things that separate gyms and create an experience that is both challenging and safe.... all while remaining fun.

I was down in Florida during the 2015 Christmas Holiday and decided to check out a local box. After visiting their online site and checking out the WOD of they day, I decided to drop in. The owner Heidi was great, greeting me as I was checking out and told me I could stop in the next day free of charge. I stopped in on Christmas Eve and was coached by Heidi and she gave me great tips she had learn from some of the great olympic weight lifters that helped me on my form. This was a great facility with a welcoming staff and I will definitely stop in when I am visiting again!

This place is truly an awesome experience. Im so glad I found Broward CrossFit. If you want results, nutrition, and accountability Steven and his team will get the job done. You have to give this place a try if you live around Davie, Fl!

I have been involved in the crossfit community for 10 years. I am an athlete that has travelled extensively. The Playground- Broward Crossfit is by far the BEST facility that I have trained at in the USA. I love the owners of the facility. They make me feel as though I am a part of their family. The gym is extremely spacious, they have the best equipment and amazing coaches. I cant wait to get back there!Also, the BEST crossfit kids program is offered here!If you havent experienced this place, I highly suggest you go! Now!!!!

This has been my home for over 2 years, and I cant even imagine going back to a normal gym. Crossfit is also not for everyone. You either have to know what your getting into to, or be willing to give it the time it takes for your body to adjust to this sort of work out. We grunt, we scream and curse; and we are there for each other. If you miss a few sessions, youll not only hear it from the trainers, but from the other members!The problem with reviews of this sort, is that only people with bad experiences think to write something. For every unhappy review, there is one unhappy customer. For ever happy review there are at least a dozen happy customers. When we hear that our home is getting a bad review, we all leap into action to correct it.

The strength coaches are the best Ive ever learned from. Very very knowledgeable really helped me in the areas I needed the most help!

Ripped, Abs, No BS, AND GREAAAAT Trainers and People. I started 2 weeks ago. I am down 15 LBS, My legs are swore weekly. Other gyms do not emphasize the TECHNIQUES as much as they do and thats what makes them that much better. Crossfit can be for everyone but is not for everyone. If it is for you, your CLINICALLY CRAZY not to come here. PEACEOUTCYALALABYE

Every workout is a personal training session. The instructors are very knowledgeable and well qualified with experience to go with it. Before each WOD, they teach all movements and correct your form to prevent injuries. Its a very warm and friendly atmosphere, all egos are checked by the door. The facility itself is very large, clean, and properly maintained. It is stocked with the latest equipment utilized today and you never have to worry about waiting in line for a piece of equipment. Besides reinvesting heavily into the gym, there are also other services such as cryotherapy and deep tissue massages available to aid in recovery. Did I mention they also teach Crossfit Kids!!...You get the point!!

I found Broward 2 1/2 years ago, and though it was a 35 minute drive from my home; I toured the gym one time and signed up that day. The equipment was(and is) beautiful, the facility well run and organized, but what really sold me were the people and the environment. From the moment I walked in I could see that this was a community and not just a gym. The coaches, staff and members at Broward are unparalleled. They take their time to teach you each movement, safely and efficiently. They pay attention to each of your individual strengths and weaknesses. They get to know your unique learning style, goals, and your limits and abilities to help you become your best self. In a short time I was hitting numbers, and performing skill work that only months before I never would have considered possible.It has been close to three years, and I have made an unrecognizable transformation both physically and mentally. I have never been stronger, faster, or more confident, and I am still gaining strength each and every day. I am part of an amazing community, and met the best friends I have ever had. I have recently started competing, something I never dreamed I could do, and the coaches and members take personal time out of their lives to attend every single competition I have ever been a part of. Perhaps most importantly, I am finally truly healthy. I could never have accomplished any of this without Broward Crossfit. This facility was truly life-altering in the best way possible, a godsend for me, and now I could not imagine my life without it.

Steve Bowser is, without a doubt, one of the very best coaches you will find anywhere.He opened the very first CrossFit gym in the Ft. Lauderdale area years ago and has continued to aggressively continue to learn and improve as a professional coach.He has pursued training knowledge through numerous training disciplines and has earned the respect of coaches inside and outside of CrossFit.He has brought such notable coaches as Louie Simmons, Dan John, and Zach Even-Esh in for seminars at his gym. Also he has pioneered in bringing Grid Sport to this area. He is the owner and coach of the powerful Miami Surge.I have know Steve for years and could not recommend anyone more highly.

Love this gym right here. Join here as it came highly recommended from a friend and I have no regrets. Im new to crossfit, coming off of an injury and serious back problems. They welcome me with open arms. The facility is huge and with plenty of equipment for large classes if needed and the coaches are amazing. The members both exprienced and non-experienced are friendly and extremely encouraging. Im getting stronger at my own pace and I have a new crossfit family. Thank you Broward Crossfit.

By far, one of the best Crossfit Boxes Ive been to. I started with Heidi years ago, and although Ive moved out of state, I still apply all the techniques that I learned from them to this day. Ive gone to other Boxes and have been praised on my techniques when it come to lifting. I really would like to think it was because of Heidis constant push, patience and great advice. She really is an inspiration. I was new to crossfit when I started with Playground, but never once did I feel like an out-of-shape outcast, everyone was nice and encouraging which was important to me.

Billy, Brad and Kyle are three of the best coaches and great motivators ~ thanks for always pushing me to do my best ! — at Broward CrossFit and Sports Performance Facility.

ERICwas absolutely awful, and would never recommend ever setting foot inside of that building.

After two years of Crossfit at another gym, I was disappointed when my progress began to standstill. I was then introduced and openly welcomed into the Broward CrossFit family. Once I was able to join in on the programming and push myself to keep up with the other incredible athletes, it was a game changer for me and I could never see myself training at another gym again. All of the trainers are highly qualified and decorated with seminar experiences and certifications and are the kindest and most patient people you could turn to for help. There is a huge member base that is more of a family than just paying customers and they are always willing to partner with you on a wod, give quick advice on a lift, or share a beer with you at one of our parties. Whether you are a newbie to the whole crossfit thing and have no idea how to begin or are an experienced and competitive athlete, THIS is the training facility for you.

Broward Crossfit is a great facility. The trainers are very knowledgable and are always there to push you to do your very best. They offer a great kids program and also cryotherapy!

Great place and well-planned & effective program! I strongly recommend it

There is no place better than Broward Crossfit! I hated working out in a regular gym and being stared at and stalked be creepy older men. This gym is one big family! Everyone helps each other out. The owners Steve and Heidi truly care about their business and the people that walk through their doors. Steves programming is amazing and I have never looked or felt better! He has a plethora of certifications and is so patient when coaching and critiquing. Heidi is also another incredible coach and tries to break down skills and lifts for those who dont quite understand; also she is a GREAT motivator! Broward Crossfit is the best thing to ever happen to me! When you sign up for Broward Crossfit, you are signing up to join one of the greatest, cleanest, and friendliest facilities around!

Ive been a member at Crossfit Affliction since December of 2008 and Ive never regretted my decision to leave the conventional style fitness center. I like to visit other affiliates when Im out of town and while Ive had some great experiences at other gyms the coaching at Affliction is second to none. Although Id consider myself an experienced Crossfitter I appreciate critiques on my form and technique. All the coaches at Affliction have lent constructive critcism that has been a big help to my progress. I live closer to two other Crossfit boxes than I do to Affliction but I will continue to drive the extra distance in order to receive the benefits of the Bowsers experience and education.

Broward Crossfit has been my home since 2011. Trainers here are outstanding! Very knowledgable, though always encourage you to do more... They make sure you first and foremost have the right form. That is key in Crossfit as in any sport activity because without proper form injuries occur. The WODs are constantly challenging you and keep you motivated.From the first day I walked in to inquire about the gym I was welcomed by a genuinely warm staff. Love my box and I cant say enough about them!

I love this box. Great staff and i always get a great workout.

Super gym, excellent work outs, great atmosphere and most of all devoted, passionate owners! I had been doing crossfit for 3 years before I joined Broward Crossfit. I have started to attend work outs in the Broward Crossfit and it took me just one week to get hand stand and one and a half eeek to get pull ups and double unders. Thank you Heidi for your time, attitudeand passion. I highly recomend this gym!

This is definitely the best facility Ive ever trained in. Ive been a member for almost 4 years and I cant imagine ever going anywhere else. As a physical therapist, its great to see a gym with excellent coaching that really emphasizes technique/ form and holds everyone to very high standards. Its one of the nicest facilities Ive seen around the country and has just about any piece of equipment you can ever need or imagine (Dbs, yokes, prowlers, big bob, stones, reverse hypers, jerk blocks, olympic lifting bars, powerlifting bars, etc). Highly recommend anyone to check this place out of you get a chance. You wont be disappointed!

As a Chiropractor who treats mainly Crossfit athletes, I can attest to the importance of good solid coaching. Day after day I see injuries that couldn have been avoided if proper technique was in place. One thing you can be sure of is this place puts a great deal of emphasis on technique and protecting its members from injury. The coaching is truly second to none! The one thing that stands out about BCF is the sense of community these members share. Steve and Heidi treat each and every member like family. I highly recommend giving BCF a chance and I can guarantee you that you wont be sorry.

Ive been a member for over 5 years and I have to say that no gym around can top our facilty. Not only with some of the most knowledgable owners & trainers but the available equipment is diverse & vast.I have learned so much about the sport of CrossFit and fell in love with how accomplished it can make you feel.I would never be where I am today without Heidi and Steve Bowser. Broward CrossFit offers exceptional programming and all the support you need to tackle your fitness goals.

Amazing staff and one of the best facilities Ive ever seen. If you live around Ft Lauderdale and havent been to The Playground yet, youre missing out!

Great gym and awesome coaches. The place is well kept and has a clean shower room/bathroom. The coaches are very motivating. They make sure you do the right thing

Broward Crossfit has so far been the best Crossfit box experience Ive had in my 3+ years of Crossfitting. From the moment you walk, in the members greet you with a smile and welcome you as part of their community. The programming they offer is stellar. Although some days are grueling, Ive never had better results. They focus on strength, conditioning, mobility, and gymnastic movements. They offer Crossfit, Crossfit Kids, Competitors programming, and F.I.T. classes. The owners, Steve and Heidi, are great, down to earth, people who emanate their passion for the sport through dedicated coaching and engaging with members. My favorite coach is Billy. Youll see him there from open until close, supporting, encouraging, and fueling members to strive beyond their perceived limitations. All in all, Broward Crossfit is a wonderful box to call home.

While vacationing in ft Lauderdale with my gf, both of us were interested in attending a cf in the area, off the recommendation of my gfs uncle, we went to the playground, and we were not disappointed. The Box is very big, and has plenty of equipment to work out with (including oly platforms). The two coaches we had, billy and billy (not kidding) were very informative and took us thru a great c&j progression, we did the wod and I even noticed that one of the coaches gave a great pointer to my Gf while she doing a push jerk. Spoke to one of the owners, who was also a really nice guy, overall a great box, which I would recommend to any and everyone. Go check it out!

At Broward Crossfit, I have experienced something I have waited a long time to find: great coaches and members and excellent programming. Until meeting Heidi at BCF, I had never found someone that made me feel immediately comfortable in a gym. She is fantastic! All of the coaches at BCF have helped me improve some aspect of my fitness. I have learned more about stretching, lifting, body movement, and gymnastics in the short time that I have been at this gym than I have anywhere else. The coaches at Broward Crossfit listen to my goals and work with me day in and day out to achieve them. BCF truly is a well rounded gym.

Broward Crossfit is truly a one of a kind facility. From the moment you walk into this facility you know you came to the right place. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a USA Weightlifting Sports Performance coach I have seen/trained at many facilities, but nothing compares. They have anything you need for various forms of strength and fitness training, not just crossfit. From powerlifting programs, crossfit, Kids classes, olympic lifting classes, gymnastics classes etc...Broward crossfit stresses safety and recovery above all. Each coach is highly skilled and takes initiative to help every member perfect their technique. All their equipment is state of the art, all the way to their cryo chamber for recovery. Most importantly the the owners, Steve and Heidi Bowser, set the positive and encouraging atmosphere. They truly have a passion for the industry and their members.

I have had the chance to spend a good amount time at Broward CrossFit whenever i come back to south florida to visit. It is my home away from home. The staff is amazing! Very knowledgable and supportive from the beginners to the advanced athletes. Also the facility is huge with more than enough equipment for classes and lifters in their Oly section. They have a huge top of the line Maverick Athletic rig custom made for their space. 5 Lifting platforms with Eleiko barbells and weights. Top notch all around and if you want to recover on the spot they have Cryotherapy on premises to recover strong. This is the place to train when you come to town to visit.

With over 50 Crossfit boxes in the local area, there is no question that the Crossfit movement is growing. But quantity does not equal quality, and each box has its own culture and community. I have been a member for over 3 years now and each year has seen new personal bests and performance improvements, because of the love and care Steven and Heidi Bowser put into it. Besides a commitment to continuing education, hosting seminars from leading coaches and trainers on weightlifting, powerlifting, conditioning, and nutrition/recovery, they also continue to expand the gym with top level equipment found nowhere else - a reverse hyper, a full sized competition rig, weightlifting platforms, complete sets of kettlebells/dumbells, GHDs, hooks and chains/bands for powerlifting training. You name it, its probably there or on the way. It is a pleasure to train alongside some of the top athletes in the region who call this gym home. I will never forget the things I have learned here, which have changed my life. Thank you Broward Crossfit.

You get out what you put in -Aristotle.What was said then holds true to now, exactly that. If you walk in that door with a chip on your shoulder and negative vibes.. as with anything in life.. youre not going to get very far.I will say this, I read the negative google reviews on CF Affliction and I am not going to lie, they disheartened me. It actually dis-swayed me from joining for about 3 weeks. Then I put on my big girl pants and said to myself.. Let me make my own decision. That was the best decision I have ever made.I called, left a message, and was contacted shortly thereafter by Glenn Ocampo. We sat down and chatted about my goals, current situation, pricing, and all of that jazz. I signed up. This was the end of July 2012.The next day I did my on ramp with Heidi Bowser (owner and wife of the acclaimed unstable man Steven Bowser). We went through technique after technique over and over and over.. and over and over... and over again. I had already been crossfitting for a while but kept getting injured/was not seeing the progression that I wanted. Turns out my technique was off. Go Figure! So what did we do? More practice.. over and over.. ha. I thought I was going to die and I think I was only using the 35lb bar.Fast forward a week. I had randomly signed up to compete in a CF competition that weekend. I was a newbie at the gym, I didnt advertise it, I didnt know anyone, and I didnt really think anyone would care that I was doing the comp. HA! Boy was I wrong. I mentioned to Heidi that I was, she called me immediately went over each and every detail of the workout with me.Later that day I then stopped by the gym to pick up an affliction shirt to wear while competing. Steve and Glenn were there and they again asked me if I was good with the workouts. There was one part of the workout that I wasnt sure if I would be able to do... an 8ft wall climb. So what did we do? Steve promptly walked me out to a wall outside of the gym and climbed it to show me how. HOW COOL IS THAT.. Ive not known these people for over a week and they are going out of their way to support/coach/make me feel comfortable. That is exactly what I was looking for in a gym.The competition was great, some new friends came to cheer me on, and even some of the coaches came out to watch! It made me feel loved, supported, and motivated.Ive since gone on to have numerous personal records, made some amazing new lifelong friends, and pushed myself beyond so many boundaries that I thought were there.This is a great place, Steve is not a crazy person (well in a bad way.. because I think all crossfitters are crazy to an extent), Heidi is sweet, supportive, and welcoming, and all of the other trainers there are amazing!

Love this place great trainers here if your looking for a serious CrossFit experience this is it!

Welcome to The Playground - Broward CrossFit.
