CrossFit CTRL has been an amazing gym to be a part of! I am a year in now, and have gotten so much stronger, healthier, and happier! The community of people here is awesome! Theyre all so encouraging and positive, and truly desire to see everyone succeed, meet their goals, and thrive.On top of all the feel-good things, I have also lost 11 lbs in a year (which is more than I have ever been able to lose on my own, I have gained a ton of muscle mass, dropped to a pants size I havent worn since middle school, and its all because of the expertise, motivation, and challenges that this box has given me.Recently, I finished a nutrition kickstart program with the head nutrition coach, Heather, and I have seen a huge difference in my mood, physical strength, and overall well being by eating healthier according to her guidance.5/5 stars is an understatement for the value I have gotten from CrossFit programming and CrossFit CTRL itself. Thank you guys for your hard work, kind spirits, and everything else!
Honestly this is the first time I’ve ever written a review for anything online and they didn’t even ask me to! That’s how good it is. My older brother convinced me to try it while I was in town for a month and it was awesome! I have always stayed in relatively good shape, but coming to the gym has helped me push past my plateau and be even stronger. Even though I had never done much weightlifting, the trainers did a great job of helping me feel comfortable with the movements and teaching me good form. With their help, I even met my goal of being able to do a muscle up in just one month!On top of the quality of training, I’d say my favorite part is the community. I thought CrossFit would be super intimidating but everyone here was so nice! No matter what your fitness level, you’ll fit in. Everyone is so supportive and easy to talk to. I’d highly recommend anyone to try out this gym.
I love so many things about CrossFit CTRL.I love the community. The members continually encourage each other to give their best effort. You dont realize how much someone encouraging you when you are in the middle of something that is difficult can do for you until you hear those encouraging words. My successes become everyone elses successes.I love that every workout is for everyone. The workouts are scaled and anyone can do them. Each person works just as hard as any other person in the room, but on their own level.I love the challenge of what seems like insurmountable hurdles. Those challenges turn into exciting achievements when you overcome those hurdles.I love that it pushes me every single time that I come and I always leave feeling a sense of accomplishment!
I joined CrossFit CTRL with the 6 week intro package. I can’t even begin to tell you how nervous I was to actually meet with Devan. I am on Week 4 out of 6, and I definitely will be continuing on after Week 6.I cant say enough about the quality of CrossFit CTRL as both a fitness facility and a fitness community. Devan delivers workouts that can be scaled to your own fitness and strength levels/abilities without sacrificing your participation with the overall group or the rigor of a good workout.Whenever, I thought about CrossFit in the past, I always thought it was for people already in shape, people looking to improve who were “athletic”. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Devan broke everything down into manageable terms. Not with only a focus on the fitness aspect (1-on-1 sessions, group classes), but with diet as well. Overall, I just feel better and love the consistency this has provided for my workouts and diet.You want to come here and see everyone; you want to get better; you appreciate the work everyone else puts forth; you feel good while youre there; and everyone else appreciates you and your commitment, too.My only regret....not finding this sooner!
UPDATE:I have been coming to CrossFit CTRL for almost 4 months! I am still just as in love with this place as I was 3 months ago! I am a much healthier person now than I was 3 months ago! I can see subtle differences every single day whether it be in strength, endurance, nutrition or just how I feel! It doesn’t take long for the subtle differences to become big, noticeable ones!I heard about CrossFit CTRL from a friend and thought that it sounded like something that I would like, however, I was nervous and unsure about it. I checked it out and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. I felt welcome from the time that I walked through the door for the first time and each time that I leave I am proud of my accomplishments and cant wait to come back! I am excited to see where this journey takes me and where I am 3 months from now.
I started at this gym in November 2020 and it has been the best decision I have made in a years. I feel younger, stronger and healthier but have also gained a new family that pushes for my success and drives me to do better each and everytime. The coaches are the best.
I have been attending this gym since it’s open and I recommend it to anyone. The coaches take their time to make sure each member gets coached properly without any injuries. It’s a very clean gym, with excellent members.
Ive worked with Heather on nutrition and shes absolutely amazing. Teaches and builds on good habits vs unpractical methods that dont last. Devan is so professional and contacts me several times each week to check in on my journey and to see if I need anything from him. Communication is a priority as is each persons success, this place is truly a family, not just a business. Ive been to the gym and its nice and clean, looks like an overall great place. My ultimate goal is to get back into the gym and he and Heather are helping me get there.
Great gym to be apart of, wonderful coaches that care for your needs. Very clean facility. I’m so happy to be part of this gym, and the team family we have created. I recommend this gym to anyone wanting to try out CrossFit, it’s really for anyone.
Devan and the other coaches are marvelous! They all care about your fitness journey. The workouts are tough, but fun! After a few weeks it felt like it was one big family working toward getting fit! Give Devan a call and get started on your journey today!
I started going to CrossFit CTRL in early August and I absolutely LOVE it! In the past I have always been active/worked out regularly. During on-ramp it was such a challenging/satisfying feeling after each session. It was then that I realized I had fallen into a workout ritual that was no longer challenging for me. I was so ready to get out of my comfort zone and into better shape! I feel strongly that CrossFit CTRL is exactly what I need to help me achieve my fitness goals.I have always felt a little uneasy at other gyms working out around strangers. Naturally I was hesitant to jump into group classes after on-ramp but absolutely loved everything about it once I started! Devan is an amazing coach. He has a true passion for helping others and will no doubt help you reach your individualized goals! The other members and coaches are so welcoming and supportive.You become a part of a team/community at CrossFit CTRL; there are no strangers or uneasiness. The workouts are for everyone at any fitness level and private sessions are always an option if group classes just aren’t for you. I highly recommend CrossFit CTRL and urge you to join our community, take control of your health and overall well being!!
Devan and the coaches have created a gym that is fun, challenging, and results driven. The workouts are challenging and accessible to all fitness levels. I never regret a day I show up to the gym but regrets it anytime I miss.
I started my CrossFit journey in June 2020 best decision I ever made! The coaches and groups are amazing no matter which group your schedule allows you to workout with. They all will cheer you on through the great days and the bad days. They also offer a nutrition program I just started a week and a half ago and it has brought me to a level I’d never thought I’d reach. Schedule your introduction appointment today and take yourself to the next level!
Devan and the team at CTRL are awesome! They offer the best personal training services in West Virginia! They also have incredible energy in their CrossFit classes. They can help accelerate your progress through their nutrition coaching and teach you how to build a sustainable lifestyle, while giving you accountability throughout your journey!
I’ve been looking a long time for something and someone that pushed me but at the same time understands the limits I have. Devan and CrossFit are the combination I’ve been searching for. I look forward to going every time!! It’s hard but so worth the effort. If you’ve been considering CrossFit than I highly recommend Devan and his program!!! Keep doing what you’re doing Devan you’re making a difference!!
I have seen a lot of gyms in my day, and CrossFit CTRL is one of the best. The coaching is on point; friendly, positive, supportive and encouraging. They truly want to see their clients improve and meet their goals. Looking forward to meeting other members and the camaraderie of group classes. You wont regret the decision to join CrossFit CTRL; you will taken care of no matter what your skill level!
Such a great experience! I took Independence Day as a great opportunity to try out a class at CrossFit CTRL. The owner was offering a class dedicated to a military veteran and coming from a military family that meant a lot. I couldn’t say more about the owner and his willingness to want to help people reach their fullest potential, not to mention running a very clean and organized gym! I see a bright future for this establishment in Fairmont! 10/10 would recommend and return!
Never in a million years did I think I was “CrossFit” material. An ad popped up on my social media as I was eating pizza one day for lunch. I knew I needed to be in better shape and knew I needed to join a gym. I was going to go the “judgement free zone” but Devan reached out and I thought I would at least hear him out. It may cost more than $10 a month but what do you get for $10? You get a hello and goodbye at the door. They have trainers but it’s on their time and lets all be honest if no one is watching we start to cut corners. So my wife and I joined to see if we liked CrossFit. Devan is a fantastic teacher. He excels most at making the program right for you. You go in and the workout is waiting on you. He is in front of the class the entire time instructing, watching, and motivating EVERYONE. Your not a number here. Your a name. Your a friend. Please do yourself a favor and at least give it a shot. I am willing to bet you will not be disappointed!!
Before I began working out with Devan I was REALLY struggling with getting in shape. It was weird because I was good at other things but when it came to fitness I was clueless.So I tried other gyms and that didn’t work. Then I tried some dieting and even though that helped a little, I still wasn’t seeing the results I wanted.It wasn’t until I began working with Devan that I realized what my real problem was, which was being around people who didn’t care.But due to all my failures and being burned before, I came really close to NOT working with Devan because of all my great excuses of why things won’t work from all things I tried before.I was trying to figure things out for myself, and working with people who didn’t care. But I decided to take a chance and work with Devan and I’m SO happy I did.It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, I would pay TEN times the price to do it over again.So if you’re on the fence about working with Devan I’d say go and just do it.
Excellent workout facility! Devan is a top notch instructor who is there not only to motivate you but also to profect your technique. The gym is clean, spacious and conveniently located right off the interstate. Unlike conventional gyms, you get personal instruction throughout every workout and dont have to worry about waiting to use equipment.-John
This gym has been a life changer. Always wanted to do weight training and didn’t know where to start. Here at CrossFit they have the best coaches who help you & push you toward your goals. The support that you get from other members is a bright spot. Even when I am sore & tired I can’t wait until the next days class. Highly recommend this place.
I joined Crossfit CTRL in February 2020 and have love every minute of it. I feel so much better physically and mentally. Devan is an amazing coach who loves what he does and it shows. The atmosphere is encouraging and supportive. Great gym!
Top notch owner, facility, coaches, and members. Nothing but people encouraging you and wanting to see you do your best. Super clean and friendly as well. No intimidation. Whatever your skill level is, you will fit right in.For me personally, I have bad knees and ankles. No matter what the workout may call for there is always a modification that can be made for any exercise. Devan is a fantastic owner that truly cares about tour goals and well being. This place is quite spectacular!So I would like to add to my previous remarks above. As I stated above, I have bad knees. Since November of last year I have had both knees operated on and in March of this year was able to rejoin the gym full time. It was great getting back into the swing of things and the family atmosphere of our gym. Well at the end of April I suffered a horrific accident and ripped my Achilles off the bone. (No, it was not workout related, I was simply walking and it snapped). So this is why I LOVE my gym and my gym family.As soon as our members knew of my injury, I received nothing but positive messages and encouragement from all the coaches as well as our other members. Since the injury I have had three surgeries to repair and close up the wound. I will be out for some time but that does not stop family from being family. Devan, our amazing owner, asked my fiancé what the gym and the members could do for me. She told them how important my garden was to me and together they organized a group to meet us at my garden to help me plant everything. That is FAMILY. These people that I didn’t know a year ago took time out of their personal lives to help little old me. It was very humbling to say the least. I can not recommend this place enough. And if you want that FAMILY atmosphere and presence in your life, you will find it at CrossFit CTRL!
Amazing gym! The coaches are professional and have helped me reach new personal records for weight lifting and I have never been in such good shape! Devan Futten goes above and beyond when scheduling private sessions as well.
Great gym and great atmosphere. People are friendly and the facility is always clean. I highly recommend checking it out if you are wanting a good workout. A message on FB will get you a quick response and Devan will answer any question you may have.
Best place ever! Great coaches. great members, its one big fit happy family!
Crossift CTRL is an amazing gym! The facility is great and the coaching is spot on. The overall support that the coaches and community gives each other is second to none! It is so welcoming and inclusive to all fitness levels. They offer many different programs that accommodate to work toward any goal you have. Here I have increased my fitness, smashed my goals, learned more than I ever expected to, and found an amazing sense of community!
Amazing group of coached that genuinely care about members!
The coaches here really care, it’s about much more than making money for them. Even if you’re not in shape they work with you to scale down the workouts to work your way up!
CrossFit CTRL is super welcoming. Was there for a squat seminar and was impressed by how clean and up to date the facility is...not to mention great coaches!
Devan is a dedicated and knowledgeable coach who will work with you to meet your specific goals - he wont just pull a canned plan out of a file. The facility is clean, welcoming, and up-to-date!
Hands down the best Crossfit facility in the state. Excellent coaching, effective programming & an unbeatable staff. If youre interested in Crossfit, general fitness or becoming a better version of yourself this is the place to be!
Great gym. If it can be done, Devan will do it. He is focused on his members health.
I joined this gym about 2 weeks ago and I am so grateful for coming. I used to do powerlifting and quit 2 years ago and gained my weight back. I have spent the last 2 years trying to get back on track and have not been successful. I was a little terrified to join a crossfit gym. I was worried that I would not be able to do many of the exercises and that I would be very behind everybody else cardio wise but I soon learned that everybody is in a different place health wise and nobody here will put you down for that no matter where you are at. Everybody is very encouraging and will give you the little push you need. If you cannot do the exercizes they will scale it down to where you are able to do them. I recommend also getting help with the nutritionist while attending the gym. The accountability is the one thing I have been missing to get back on track and they have definitely provided that. I am so happy and grateful to be back in the gym and back on track...thanks to them!
Great staff and very nice facility. For classes, private training and nutrition services, they cant be beat.
I joined Crossfit CTRL in February, as part of a 6-week challenge. During Week 5, social distancing and stay-at-home directives were announced.Despite a totally unplanned shift from in-gym to at-home programming, my experience has been really great. Better than great. Devan, owner of Crossfit CTRL, has modified each and every workout for all of his members to complete at home, varying the details based on ability and available training gear.Ive been able to make significant progress and Im seeing improvements beyond what I expected. I joined the gym to get moving, become part of a supportive community and give myself some structure for meaningful healthy changes. Ive experienced all these things and so much more. I was a little unsure about the shift to home workouts, and I worried that I might lose momentum. But instead Im seeing significant body composition changes, improved energy, reduction in aches and pains, and my cardio endurance is wildly improved.I feel completely supported and empowered to continue working toward my wellness goals. Devan sets aside time to check in with me (and all members) weekly. In addition to sending customized workouts several times a week, he answers all of my questions and helps encourage me to stay accountable to my goals.Please join Crossfit CTRL and work out with us!
Great coaching !
Top notch coaches, owner, and facility!
Great gym, Atmosphere and coaches!
I met with Devan the owner who explained their program and interviewed me to see what my goals were. I signed up for the 6 week program and will update on my progress
