CrossFit GR is the first gym I’ve truly felt at home. Every coach and every member is positive and welcoming. Workouts are challenging but are able to scale to any ability or fitness level. There is a real sense of community here and it is FUN. This gym/ community will help push you to be stronger, healthier and more confident. Join already, you won’t be disappointed!!
All around excellent gym. I always feel welcomed by friendly and knowledgeable coaches and staff. The price is just right for personalized workouts, flexible hours, and unlimited access. I was new to CrossFit / Functional Fitness when I joined several years ago, and I was met with encouragement and support ever since. I never plan to leave. Highly Recommend!
I would normally be the last person that anyone would think would attempt to do CrossFit, but I gave it a chance and Im so glad I did. I really love this place. I have been doing personal training with Sam and have made some really great progress. There is absolutely no ego stuff going on in this gym. Everyone is extremely supportive and helpful and encouraging. Great place to get stronger and healthier! Highly recommended!
Always love lifting at Crossfit GR! Open weightlifting platforms any time the building is open...for $10! Bearing bars, kilo plates, good platforms, racks, jerk blocks...you name it! Sam and Katie have always been welcoming and encouraging, and never overbearing. I appreciate this place very much and have encouraged numerous friends to try it out.
I’ve been going here for 5 years. One year I did leave but I came right back to this gym. Over the last year I have progressed so much with my strength and endurance. Sam’s programming is welcoming to all levels whether you’re a beginner or a competitive athlete. The atmosphere is uplifting and encouraging. My favorite part of my day is spent here.
I came here a couple years ago and had a really good experience. The staff are great and very helpful. The workouts are challenging but they are very accommodating and I felt comfortable scaling to my level. They have a really great community feel as well.
I have been a member since 2013. No matter your fitness or experience level, I would recommend stopping in for a visit. The coaches and members are very knowledgeable and welcoming! Great place to create friends and get in shape while doing so!
This the second crossfit gym I have held a membership at. I absolutely love it. The coaches are great and the community is fantastic. The programming is amazing. I have personally seen large gains in all facets of my fitness (strength, conditioning, range of motion, etc) over the past two years.
I enjoy coming to this gym. Sam does a great job explaining each movement and coming up with alternatives if someone has an injury or they cant do the movement at the time. Its a great community at this gym and everyone is supportive of each other.
CrossFit Grand Rapids offers an inclusive environment, welcoming all athletic abilities and fitness levels. If you are looking to start your fitness journey this is it, they will tailor each work out to where you are today. When I started at CFGR I couldnt climb a rope or do a pull up, they made it work for me at each class. It will challenge you, but your community will cheer you on every step of the way. Sam, Katie, and Leigha are amazing!
I can’t say enough good things about CrossFit Grand Rapids and more importantly, the people. While the workouts are challenging and I truly enjoy them, it’s the people who keep me coming back each week. From the owner, Sam, and his staff to all the members; they are welcoming, inspiring, encouraging, and fun.
Great owners, coaches, and setup. I love the programming here as well as the family dynamic. When I started, everyone in my classes introduced themselves and supported me as I was getting over the initial hump of the high intensity workouts. Highly recommend.
Best decision I made for my health and fitness. CFGR gives you a wide range of options for a gym. You can scale the workouts to whatever level of comfort you are at that day or time in your life. For me the new workouts each day that are programmed by the coaches combined with a group of people that help motivate you is what I like most.
CrossFit Grand Rapids is a really supportive and positive place to workout. I’m not in great shape so at first I was really nervous but through foundations and the amazing coaches I’ve come a long was in a few months. The coaches break everything down to different levels so everyone can do the workout.I’m a better person because of CrossFit Grand Rapids. I’m not afraid to lift heavier and try new things here. If you have ever had the slightest thought of trying crossfit try it here, you will not regret it.
CrossFit GR is a great gym with awesome coaches and a great community atmosphere. The gym staff and members are very inviting and will push you to be your best. I loved my experience at CrossFit GR.
I can’t say enough amazing things about CFGR. As not the most in shape person or the best ability person I can honestly say this gym is for EVERYONE!!! The coaches are all amazing and the flexibility of the classes make it easy to get your workout in. I have always felt encouraged and respected! Love this place!
Sam and crew run a great CrossFit gym. Vibes are good. Programming is great. Will be back any time I’m passing through GR.
Great place for oly lifting! Nice equipment and always adding in new stuff. Owners are super nice and take care good care of the facility! Will always be my first pick for a gym in GR
This gym is a very welcoming and inviting environment, especially for newbies and new comers. I was thoroughly impressed with the communication, professionalism and the welcoming environment. You dont get that at just any gym.
This place is awesome, super friendly people and a great team atmosphere. Was a great place for me to get plugged in moving up here on my own
CrossFit Grand Rapids is a great place to work out and learn more about fitness. Sam, Kate, and the coaches make the workout fun and challenging, and they are to teach proper form and technique. It has a family atmosphere, and the people who work out there are friendly. Some Crossfit Gym can be intimidating but not CFGR!!!. If you are looking to start Cross, this is the gym I would highly recommend
My experience at CFGR has been amazing! This is the place where I began my CrossFit journey and will continue to be the gym I go to in Grand Rapids. The coaches are very knowledgeable and very welcoming! The atmosphere and environment allow athletes at any level to succeed and pursue their personal goals all at an affordable price! Do yourself a favor and give CFGR a shot! Your future self will thank you :)
I loved my experience CrossFit GR. The community is very welcoming, kind, and eager to give you helpful advise. Classes are scheduled awesome, giving scaling options, yet pushing you to get better with every class.
This gym has a great community that I have been happily apart of going on 7 yrs. Welcoming atmosphere, clear helpful instruction by personable qualified trainers. Place is well-planned, well-equipped open industrial warehouse. CFGR has pushed me mentally and physically into a state and shape I never imagined possible. Love CFGR feel lucky to be a part of it.
Absolutely love CFGR! The coaches a friendly, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable and informative! They teach you the correct way to workout and do movements to prevent injuries. The community at CFGR is friendly, fun loving and very encouraging. This is a safe space to workout for all levels.
The entire community at CFGR is exceptionally welcoming to individuals of every skill level. I cant say enough good things about the programming and coaches. I highly recommend this box to anyone looking for an inclusive Crossfit community that encourages everyone to grow and challenge themselves.
CrossFit Grand Rapids is my box away from home but I always feel welcomed when I drop in. Coaches are well planned and pay attention to technique to ensure safety for every athlete.
Very welcoming place for anyone not sure about getting into CrossFit! Great place to get a good workout in!!
CFGR is a great place to be! I am very thankful to this community, as my life has changed in glorious ways because of them!
I’m so grateful to Sam, the trainers, and the friends I’ve made at this gym that have helped me grow stronger physically and as a person.
I found CFGR to be a welcoming environment after I decided to get back into CrossFit. It has been a great experience so far.
Great gym! Centrally located in the GR area, friendly members and good coaches.
Ive been coming to CrossFit Grand Rapids for almost 4 years. Ive visited every gym in the Grand Rapids area and every gym has it perks. With CFGR, the personal attention the coaches give and how welcoming to community is are the key things that kept me at CFGR.Programming is always challenging, but there are always options readily available to make sure you get the workout you came in for. Also having knowledgeable coaches who are ready to modify workouts to cater to any athlete is a great asset for this gym.CFGR offers the most bang for your buck, offering open gym with their membership vs having an additional fee is a great perk!Sam and Katie Parker are awesome owners and treat you like family vs just a number to their bottom line. Happy to have joined this community when I did!
Not only does CFGR have the best programming and coaches out there, it’s also an amazing community of friends sharing their love of fitness!
I’ve been in the crossfit community since 2009. I have been apart of multiple gyms through that time. GRCF is hands down the most community based box! The coach’s are educated on the art of movement, and they make everyone feel at home! GRCF for live💪
I love going into CFGR, the coaches, staff, and community are all welcoming and encouraging. I honestly plan my day around going to the gym and they have so many class options throughout the day that I can alwaysfind a time to go.
Great experience awesome staff I would highly recommend CrossFit GrandRapids!
Great coaches and facilities! Highly recommend CFGR!
Great coaches who are very knowledgeable, welcoming environment and members!
Great gym! Great community! Highly recommend!
Great environment, wonderful people, and an excellent workout. 5⭐️
Great people, great programming, great community to be apart of.
Great place to work out, amazing coaches!!
My son was preparing to join Officer Candidate School for the Marine Corps when all gyms were forced to close, leaving him unable to practice the rope climb. I contacted Sam Parker and he agreed to meet us at his gym and not only did he let my son access the rope but also let us borrow a rope to practice at home. I appreciate him taking time out of his schedule to help my son prepare for OSC. Sam is a knowledgeable professional and I highly recommend him!
Awesome gym! Everyone is very welcoming and fun. The coaches are VERY knowledgeable and help to make sure everyone is getting the best out of the WOD. They are great with folks of all levels and abilities!
Amazing gym! Although I struggle calling it simply a gym because really it is so much more. As members, new and old, we are really a family. At CFGR you will find support and encouragement you didnt know possible. From the competitive athlete to the caring parent trying to combat chronic disease there is something for everyone. Each class is lead by a certified coach and will push you to your limits under safe supervision. If you live in the GR area or are visiting I highly recommend giving CrossFit Grand Rapids a try, you will not regret it.
Walked into CFGR four and a half years ago and love this place more now than ever. The family is awesome, workouts always varied and challenge you mentally and physically. Not just a place to workout, but to grow with an group of amazing individuals.
Very welcoming and fun environment. Coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend CFGR whether you are a competitive athlete or looking for the support and encouragement to work on your health and fitness this is the place for you.
I’ve been at CFGR for almost a year and a half and I’ve loved every minute of it. Workouts are awesome and challenging, it has been exciting to grow in various ways over the past year!
Hands down- The best Crossfit gym in grand rapids. Affordable, great people, great workouts, no judgments.
Very nice gym with lots of nice people.
I attend the Bootcamp classes at CFGR and get a great workout every time. Every day is a different workout so you never get bored. The coaches are awesome and are there to help you out. If youre looking for a new gym I would highly recommend them.
Very welcoming environment. Great coaching staff that allows you to develop as an athlete and have fun.
This is an amazing atmosphere for those looking to get back into shape or for those looking to excel and compete in Crossfit. 5 years ago, I was given a choice by my doctor...strength my core OR get back surgery. I chose the tougher route of joining a gym and strengthening my core. Long story short, I stuck with it and have never felt better. I’m 37 years old with an athletic background and this gives me that competive environment, network of new friends and a healthier lifestyle. Give it a try, commit to a couple months and you will not regret it.
CFGR is a friendly, family oriented, competitive, supporting, and strong gym. The community and the coaching are amazing!!
GRCF is a great community, there you will meet some awesome people!
It is almost my 2 year anniversary of joining CFGR and I have loved every second of it. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and very willing to work with me. The other Crossfitters are great people and we have started hanging out outside of the workouts. I have been physically and mentally challenged every day. Dont be intimidated by the dead end street, industrial feel, and simple set up. It is all part of what makes Crossfit awesome. Just check your ego at the door, be open and willing to talk to people, and give the workouts your all.
Very nicely
I moved to Grand Rapids from Iowa about a year ago, worried that I wouldnt be able to find a Crossfit gym that I loved as much as the one I left behind. I didnt have to worry about it long though, because the very minute I stepped into Crossfit Grand Rapids I was greeted with big smiles and introductions from the coaches as well as the current members, and have felt at home ever since.The coaches are AWESOME. They do a great job of explaining and demonstrating safe movement patterns, giving extra help to newer more inexperienced members, and are always willing to answer any questions.If youre new to the area, or trying Crossfit for the first time, this place should definitely be your first stop. The people here really will welcome you with open arms and make you feel like an immediate friend. Not just another anonymous gym goer.
When I say CrossFit Grand Rapids changed my life for the better, I mean it. I joined CFGR through the Groupon in 2016 during a time where I was burned out on running and going to the local YMCA. After a couple of weeks of classes, I not only fell in love with the classes but the people and community! The workouts are challenging but fun, and the coaches cheer you on and push you every step of the way. The coaches truly care about your success and can tell when youre not giving it your all - and encourage you to go one lunge further, to do one more rep, to do one more burpee, to pull harder. I never thought I could have FUN working out, but I do at CrossFit GR. Its now one of my favorite parts of my day and Im bummed when I have to miss a class. I highly recommend CrossFit GR to anyone whos looking to try something new. Go in with an open mind, positive attitude and be ready to change your life for the better!
People were nice and let me do my own thing for free. Genuinely nice people just not my thing.
My whole family belongs to CFGR. Wife, 8yr old daughter, 5yr old son and a 5mo old boy who is learning what family is all about.Its a gym at its core, but there isnt a better group of people to spend an hour with dying through a workout.They offer CrossFit classes throughout the day, boot camp classes at night (now a couple during the day as well) and kids programs during the winter & summer months. The gym offers fun events like the Open Competition, cookouts, Memorial Day potluck after a grueling workout, beach day and many other fun events both inside the gym (fitness related) or outside the gym (social related).The staff is amazing. If you have never ran a mile, no problem. Scared of dumbells? They got you covered. Cant do a pull-up? No worries. Everything and anything can be modified to get you through it. Its going to be tough, its going to be fun, and I wont lie, its going to hurt a bit, but stick through it. Its not as scary as you think.Ive been going for 2 years & while I am not a picture of perfection by any stretch of the imagination, the coaches have helped me transform my body, attitude and goals. I cannot thank them enough.My wife saw a difference and decided to jump on to the boot camp classes. She loves them... Well except burpees... But they are necessary!So come on in, give it a try. It might just be right up your alley!
Fantastic coaches that truly do care about you and your health goals! They have classes for kids, beginners, elite athletes, and even the silver foxes!
Awesome people, but getting crowded in the afternoons.
Love this place!
