AKP CrossFit is a place for a beginner or a seasoned Athlete. Everyone is so welcoming and are willing to help you in any way they can. Glad I chose to come to AKP and I see myself staying for a long time to come.

AKP is a great place! I checked out multiple places and got a huge family welcoming vibe here. The coaches are great at talking to everyone to ensure they are good and have a plan.

My wife and I were looking for some professional help with our health and fitness. AKP was a place my wife found and we wanted to check them out, and I am glad we did. It is a great place to come and not only workout, but get great coaching with all of our workouts, and it does not matter where you are in the process. They started us out where were, and have helped us grow, and become stronger, plus the other athletes there are friendly and love to cheer each other on, I would highly recommend AKP. Come and check it out.

Joined Rusty Bolts & Coffee with my mother. It was an excellent experience and I was so surprised at how much my strength has increased. The group was so friendly and I look forward to attending. Highly recommend this program for retirees to keep up strength and maintain balance to prevent falling.

Best box around by far! Everyone is extremely welcoming and supportive; basically a second family. Coaches are all fantastic to work with. They are very knowledgeable and patient. Regardless if you are experienced or this is your first time, the coaches take the time to get to know you and prioritize your safety above everything. They have a great selection of high-end (Rogue) equipment. They do a great job of managing COVID-19 with social distancing and sanitizing of the floors and equipment after every use.

COMMUNITY. FAMILY. LIFE CHANGING. There are a million more words I could use to describe this gym. I joined this gym at my heaviest ever and having tried just about everything to lose weight and get healthy. I worked hard, and supported by the amazing coaching staff and community of other members, it literally has changed my life - not only did I lose 30 pounds, gain a healthier approach on nutrition and a ton more confidence, I also gained a huge group of friends I now consider family. Highly recommend AKP to serious competitive athletes to anyone just starting on their health journey.

This is a great place to do CrossFit. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and the environment is super positive. I’ve learned and improved so much in my few months of coming here. If you are interested in trying CrossFit but feeling a little intimidated, AKP is the place to go. The coaches and your fellow cross fitters are encouraging, supportive, and flexible to your athletic level and goals.

Great experience from the first time I walked through the door! The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and have worked tirelessly to comply with Covid standards and maintain our environment to include online Zoom for the members who are on quarantine, and specific scaling for at home equipment etc. This isnt just a gym, its a community of people who want to see you succeed in all aspects of your life!

I love this gym so much! The coaches make you feel so comfortable by helping you to modify when necessary and constantly offering feedback for your safety and skill. And they are your biggest cheerleaders! The people are welcoming and encouraging. There are so many ways to get involved beyond just working out which makes this more of a community than a gym. The facility is well taken care of too. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a new gym home or a fantastic place to start.

AKP makes working out fun. It is hands down the best place that I have ever used. I feel like I am part of a community. Everyone is so encouraging, which really helps to motivate and push you. I’m also amazed at how much better I have become in strength and with stamina. I love it so much that I have both of my kids involved as well. It is a part of our routine now.

I love this place. I started there a few months after they opened, and it was amazing. The work is hard but you don’t notice. I took a 5 yr hiatus and I’m back at it. A lot of the faces are new and it’s grown so much, but the atmosphere is the same! If you’re looking for a place that will support you and help you with your goals, AKP is where it’s at.

I dropped in tonight at AKP during the 4:30pm WOD, Sarah was the coach, she was very welcoming immediately!!!! My first impression of the box was it was very spacious, great equipment and clean! The programming was great, I spend a lot of time on the road and drop into a lot of box’s and am really impressed with their programming at AKP!! All of the athletes in the 4:30 session were very welcoming, supportive and hard working which made for a great experience! I will definitely be back and encourage anyone who happens upon Huber Heights OH to give them a try!!! Thanks again Sarah, it was great!!!

The programming at AKP is top notch; in three years Ive continued to get so much stronger — even with days or weeks where Im not feeling at my best. The coaches are wonderful and attentive, truly caring for all the athletes. The community (key word: community) of athletes has become like a second family with bonus outings and events where we can all support each other and have fun.

I began going to AKP around 16 months ago and I’ve greatly enjoyed my experience. The coaching staff is highly knowledgeable as well as very personable. During my time with the gym I’ve improved on every single lift as well as my endurance and overall athleticism. Whether you’re experienced in the gym or brand new to fitness the AKP team will tailor your experience to the right challenge for you.

Terrific place. The coaches are obsessed with proper form and don’t allow you to degenerate into sloppiness.They all seem to know how best to get this busted up 70 year old jarhead back into a condition in which I can kayak.Truly money well spent.

This has been an amazing family and gym to join! Everyone was very welcoming right away, and I knew I had found my new home away from home. The coaches are amazing and really do give time and tips to everyone to make sure everyone is progressing and making themselves a better athlete. If you want to get more training, the weightlifting class and competitors programs are great!

I’ve been coming to this gym for a little over 4 years now. And not only is it an amazing place to work out, they have become my family. They’re not just there to give you a workout.. they give you hope, there to pick you up on your bad days, there to build your confidence, and ALWAYS do their best to support you in any way. This box has saved me, more than once. They are my family away from home. I’ve been to many boxes across the country.. Las Vegas, Texas, California, Florida, and nothing has ever compared. I HIGHLY recommend.

AKP Crossfit is the best gym that I have been in so far. It has very professional community of coaches, athletes, and more importantly friendly and welcoming environment.

I cant thank the coaches and athletes enough for every workout and them being part of my life for two years. AKP Crossfit Rock!!

Love this place! Akp is an outstanding community of athletes and coaches. Everyone is so encouraging and motivating. The coaches are knowledgeable, pay attention to detail and push you to get better in achieving your goals. I have been going to Akp for almost a year now and I am surprised to see how much better I have become in strength and with endurance. Again, all credit goes to the amazing coaches! This is great gym for anyone interested in trying crossfit for the first time OR die-hard crossfit addicts.

The Gym (Box) is big and spacious. The coaches will guide step by step and they will not neglect you. If you are worried about being a stranger the whole time, please dont. All the people around are nice and they will encourage you to come every day. If you have kids you can bring them with you to little ninjas program. They will train the little kids. One of the best experiences and you will definitely enjoy it.

AKP is more than a workout. People really care and encourage each other. The coaches are amazing to help you navigate the workouts and how to scale or modify to make it a great workout for me. There are all kinds of people, really fit to literally just starting to work out. If you get easily bored doing the same type of stuff like I do, Crossfit offers variety every day!!

I have been attending AKP for 5 weeks now and I think I am becoming addicted. I have never looked forward to working out before...until now. I love that everyday you are doing something different. Never get bored doing the same thing everyday. The best part is the coaching you get. They know exactly how much to push to get the most out of your workout. AKP is a wonderful family of people at very different levels of strength all supporting each other along their journey.

From day 1, I was welcomed at the gym . The coaches and members have truly made me feel like family. They have helped me push myself harder during my workouts (something I haven’t been doing by myself) and have supported me in my goals. I couldn’t ask for a better Fit Family!

Found AKP through the USAWs Find a Club and found a receptive, welcoming community. Weightlifting coaches are knowledgeable and Ive already made massive improvements in technique and strength in the 6 months Ive been lifting here. Athletes of all abilities are respected and welcomed, and everything is safely scaled as needed. Would highly recommend AKP for anyone looking for a consistent, fun, and engaged group to work out with.

Ive been a member of AKP Crossfit for nearly 5 years. Prior to that I would join and then quit various workout communities and routines every 3-6 months. AKP has all the aspects anyone could ever need to reach their fitness potential, no matter what background or skill level. There is excellent programming tailored to every individual need. Aside from the main crossfit programming, there are special classes for kids, teens, rusty folks, those new to training, weightlifting, and competitive athletes. This is wrapped up in the most supportive community Ive ever been a part of. The staff really works hard on maintaining a culture of acceptance, community, and fun. This is my happy place! :)

This isn’t just a gym. It’s a family. It took a while for me to actually start doing the workouts but I enjoyed coming to competitions with my parents just to see the encouragement and the love from these people. I am so happy to belong to this box and look forward to seeing what’s in store for them in the future!

AKP is such a great place to workout at. It doesnt matter if youre doing CrossFit and/or Olympic weight lighting for the first time, or if youre a seasoned CrossFitter, you will feel right at home, all credit to the amazing coaches. I have been going to this box for 8 months now and I have come a long way - from my first pull-up and rope climb to many great things. The place isnt just a gym for many of us, its actually a family with a bunch of great people who are there for you anytime and everytime. Great place and you will know it as soon as you walk in!!! Highly recommend for someone to give it a try and know for themselves.

AKP CrossFit is a great CrossFit gym with knowledgeable coaches and friendly members all within a great facility. Their programming is also top notch with some sort of strength component everyday, so you will get the most out of the hour class you attend. Definitely would recommend to a friend.

Review №64

AKP is great community wether you are looking for motivation to move beyond the fitness level you have achieved on your own or if you are picking up a barbell for the first time in your life. They have a great crew of coaches who are always there to push you and make sure you are staying safe as you test yourself. You quickly start to recognize the regulars who range from jacked crossfit heroes to everyday people who just want to lose a few pounds, but all of them are welcoming and encouraging. You never feel alone on your fitness journey at AKP. Amelia and Kerry have poured their heart and soul into this box and it shows. Come for the WOD but stay for the community.

Review №65

I dropped in while in town and will definitely come back. Amelia (coach) and the other folks in class were so welcoming and friendly. The class was well structured and organized - and the WOD was full of new-to-me movements (double kettlebell complex) which was certainly challenging. Amelia pushed me (and others) during the strength portion of the workout and I ended up PRing my 3RM push press, which was the goal today.Based on the gym announcements at the whiteboard, the flyers and posters and banners and member photos hung around the gym, I can tell there’s a solid community at AKP CrossFit.Highly recommend joining if you are local to the area and definitely drop in if you find yourself in town!

Review №66

Just moving to a new area and researching the boxes near by, AKP instantly drew me in with their family vibe and nice facility. The place is huge compared to traditional crossfit boxes, which I love because it gives you space to do your workouts. I love how welcoming and friendly all the members and coaches are from the day I participated in my first WOD to today. AKP has a little bit of everything for everyone, whether you just want a challenging workout to get in shape, or master your crossfit skills for competitions, the AKP coaches are driven to help you reach your goals.

Review №71

This place is amazing and the people are fantastic. Ive finally found a fitness style that works me and a community that brings me so much joy. I was always intimidated by the idea of doing CrossFit, thinking I had to be in better shape to be able to do it. The coaches here are incredible though. They work with me to make sure movements are scaled but challenging so I can do them and constantly improve. Highly recommend AKP to anyone and everyone interested in being stronger and more active. They have classes for kids and teens too, and my dad actually joined their senior class, Rusty Bolts & Coffee, and absolutely loved it. I could go on and on about how much I love AKP, but Ill stop here. Come WOD with us and see for yourself!

Review №72

I love this box! I have been attending here for almost 3 years and everyone here has become like family. The coaches and members have been there for me through my husbands deployment, my first pregnancy and getting back into the gym after having a baby pushing me just enough the whole way. The environment is super supportive and positive and they really work with you to achieve your goals no matter what level of fitness you are at. I also really like that they really stress safety and correct form with lifting. There is always extra events, competitions and other stuff going so you can be as involved as you want and I have made a lot of new friends. The facilities are nice, they have everything you could want for a WOD. It does get a little hot in the gym in the summer, but hey, its a Crossfit box, and its my second home lol.

Review №74

Out of all the CrossFit’s I have been to in the past 8 years (off and on) AKP has been the most welcoming from day 1. What I like the most an app they used called SUGAR WOD so all the coaches and members can communicate through as well as keep up with PRs and all of your workouts.This is the first Crossfit where I have had coaches gone out of their way to help you improve ... with rowing, learning how to do in and outs properly - these may seem simple but really aren’t, lol. - this is also where sugarwod comes in handy, I also love that were able to encourage other members through the app. This is also the first CrossFit where the owners want to truly get to know all of their members IMO and go out of their way to have events outside of crossFit to build long lasting friendships etc.I’m thankful I found this CrossFit but am also sad it’s only till the end of June that I’ll be here. My other half and I are closing on a house in Springboro and unfortunately, the drive is a bit too far! I love the community you all have here and the encouraging energy you all bring each day. Thank you for making me feel welcomed.

Review №75

Before I chose AKP, I shopped at multiple boxes and I choose it based on the quality of coach if I receive. Does the coach engage with me on a personal basis and spot correct me when I work out? At AKP, engagement with coaching was never a concern - constant, deliberate feedback. The box is very approachable. Unlike other boxes I don’t see a schism between the elite athletes and everyday joes. Everyone works out together and chats!There’s also a lot of space and ancillary items for exercise: more than enough for independent training, romwod/yoga, foam rolling and practicing double unders.Great events and easy location.

I have visited a lot of crossfit gyms throughout my travels around the world! I have crossfited in Kandahar, Gremany, Texas and along most of the states on the eastern sea board.And AKP is by far the best gym I have visited. I have made multiple trips to this gym in Dayton over the past few years. The staff is always friendly and a wealth of knowledge. They are very willing to coach you up and make you a better athlete. The programing is well structured and better yet is executed to perfection. This is a very rare combination in my experience.
