While visiting my parents in the area I decided to drop in to a few classes at CrossFit Estero. I was very pleased with the gym. The coaches were great and so were the workouts. Felt like I was still at my gym back home. I would definitely recommend going there!
I had never been to a crossfit gym before. Coming from a lifting background, crossfit was never spoken of, let alone encouraged.However, all my presumptions washed away when I first came to this gym. It really is a welcoming environment! The instructors are awesome and make you feel empowered to do better!I highly recommend this gym to anyone seeking a healthy workout environment!
I have been dropping into CF Estero on and off for the last 4 years while visiting family in SW Florida. Each year Im impressed with the quality of programming, cleanliness of the gym and helpful coaching staff. The community of members Ive met have all been very welcoming. If I lived in SW Florida, this would be my go-to gym. Keep up the good work, CF Estero!
I cant say enough great things about this place! I have been doing CrossFit for a little over a month now. I was very intimidated at first but the staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They push me to my limit physically every single day, but they know how much I can handle without pushing it too far. The staff and coaches have been so incredibly motivational and helpful. I was even able to sit down and talk with a staff member about my diet and things I can do to improve what I am eating. I have lost weight, gained muscle and changed my life into something even more amazing because of these people. CrossFit Estero/The Training Box is a community of people who want to see each other succeed. Even though I have only been with them for about a month or so, you can tell these people are almost like family to each other. I look forward to going every day. Well, except Sunday! Thats my rest day. :)
CrossFit at The Training Box is not your average exercise class. Bring your game face I say!! It has literally changed my entire view of fitness and what it means to commit to a workout. After a very short time at CrossFit my body has begun to change, I can see my abs again and I wasn’t sure that was possible at 43. I believe CrossFit is going to be my “Fountain of Youth”. What I really like about CrossFit is that it is diverse and I always seem to get crushed at each workout as no two workouts are exactly the same. The instructors are awesome! Without the instructors’ can-do attitude I would have given up. Their positive attitudes are so contagious; I just have to keep coming back. What I also like about the classes is that they cater to people of all ages and abilities and each class pushes me to get a little more fit each time I go. I still have much more to accomplish on the journey I have laid out for myself, but with CrossFit at The Training Box I know that it will be a challenging, but fun adventure. I definitely recommend CrossFit to anyone who is really ready to make a change in his or her overall well being.-Heather
When I joined CrossFit, I was very excited. I had been wanting to join because of all the great successes I see with it in personal fitness. I hadnt thought it would be able to live up to my expectations, but it did! It surpassed them. The box has been so incredible in helping me with my fitness. I have become stronger, faster, and better in general, and have made a variety of new friends along the way. The coaches and staff are helpful, kind, and motivating, and they always know to make sure you take it easy if you are pushing too far.Thank you, CrossFit!
Great way to stay/get in shape. The instructors are all knowledgeable and stay interested in your progress. I am older than most members, so I cant keep up with the kids but they tailor the workout to what I can realistically accomplish and that keeps me motivated to keep coming back.I had signed up for LA Fitness expensive individual sessions and did not find them to my liking. After I tried the free classes at CF, I cancelled my LA Fitness program (even paid a penalty) and joined--it has been worth every penny.
I have always worked out at gyms and even had personal trainers and never really felt like I got anything out of it. I decided to try Cross fit and I left feeling great! I have been going to Cross fit for a little over a month and every workout is different, motivating and everyone really pushes you to do it. The coaches are always around to help you and make sure you are doing everything right so you dont hurt yourself. I never liked working out with people this intense at the gym but here they really embrace you with what you have and help you improve with out feeling judged
I believe CrossFit Estero is unlike any other workout facility out there. Everything from the coaching and equipment to the community of members and the staff is next level! Ive been a member at multiple locations and also dropped into several other classes at different places and nothing compares to CrossFit Estero. I highly recommend this facility to you and anyone else you know!
Dont go there if you want to reach your fitness goals and save money, extremely overpriced, they have different trainers come and they dont even know what you already worked on, you could be stuck doing legs for a whole week. Also i signed a 3 month contract and told them specifically that after that i didnt want to continue going. When the 3 months ended there came my surprise that they kept charging me, i tried to get a hold with someone they didnt reply until weeks later and when they did next month came around and they charged me again, when they did reply they told me they couldnt reimburse me the money because i didnt cancel my membership soon enough, how in the world if i made a 3 month contract and i had been emailing them for weeks!!! DO NOT GO THERE!
I love the up-close help and attention. Ive been to other gyms that are less interactive and helpful throughout the class, especially to new people. They were great. Its also one of the cleanest gyms Ive been to (out of about 15 around country).
Ive done CrossFit is NYC, Florida and South Africa. The Training Box so far has been one of the most dynamic and motivating groups Ive trained with. The classes are larger than Ive seen in other CrossFit gyms but they manage them flawlessly. With at least 2 trainers per class, the classes flow seamlessly and everyone gets one-on-one support to help motivate, perfect technique and push it to the limit. The gym is well equipped and well managed and the receptionist is knowledgable, helpful and very professional.
Easily the best CrossFit box in the universe. Friendly and knowledgeable coaching staff. Tons of room for activities.
They keep charging my card after the account was cancelled. They never answer their phones, we even went by to cancel, but again, no action. I keep having to call my cc company and challenging the charges.
Best gym in SWFL!! Great community!
I was one of those girls that made fun of crossfit thought is was just this rigorous retardedness that people got all hyped up about. I WAS SO WRONG. Since I first called to set up my free class I have been treated like family. The best part of my day every day is when I walk in to my box and am greeted with so many smiles. The training box Is not just a gym its a community and one that I plan on being a part of for a long time. My coaches are the best always there and I can never ask to many questions. oh and miss Ally in the office only the coolest sweetest girl ever. If you want a place to workout where you will be welcomed and treated like family this is where you should be.
Great well-equipped and very welcoming box with inspirational, hands-on coaches! Tim, Walter and the morning crew made me feel right at home when I dropped in over March break ... Highly recommended !
My instructor was knowledgeable, helping me work even with back problems. The other members have a positive and friendly attitude. Great place.
Awesome gym. Awesome coaches. So glad I dropped in while on vacation.
I signed up for a Crossfit membership in June (2014). My summer was booked with work, family and summer classes. I am an FGCU student and I just needed a place to work out and become more fit and overall more healthy. I decided to try out crossfit because I had heard amazing things from friends. With my hectic schedule, I was not able to go as often as I had liked but every time I could, it was a nice environment to be around, the coaches were always eager to help and see you improve. Monthly membership is a lot but when I look at what I have gotten out of it, I think it is very much worth it! :)
I had been working out steadily at another large gym for a year before my body began to hit its plateau. My friend told me about Crossfit, and after a few days of research I signed up for a complimentary class. It took one class for me to realize what I had been missing... The workout was an interesting mix of weight lifting and cardiovascular exercises. In a month of going to this gym I havent seen the same workout. Im constantly seeing changes and i love it. Therere people of ALL ages and athletic abilities at this gym so dont be afraid to give it a try...
A very motivating staff, and a great facility.Hopefully crossfit adds more room and equipment to keep up with the growing numbers of new people!
Im a newcomer to CrossFit and have been training at The Training Box for about 3 weeks now and I have gained so much knowledge and support from the Instructors in such a short period of time. Like most people unfamiliar to CrossFit, I wanted to give it a shot but never had the courage to do so. I found myself hitting a plateau with my weight training and knew that I needed to change things up and shock my body. So I put in a call to my good friend Jonas Elliott, a Class Assistant at The Training Box and told him that I was ready for a change! He met me at my first class, introduced me to one of the owners and staff (who are AWESOME) and showed me around and before I knew it I was on the floor getting ready for my first WOD. I was beyond nervous at first but the Instructors and Jonas made it a point to help me with the movements and make sure that my form was correct. Even other members that I never met before were encouraging me to push myself! Looking around at everyone was so motivating to me, a breath of fresh air from what I was so accustomed to doing for so many years. So if you are looking to give CrossFit a try, I highly recommend checking out The Training Box!Amy Vetter - IFBB Pro Figure Athlete
