Good place, great experience!!
Best gym you’ll ever go to! All of the coaches are amazing and very helpful! They are motivational and give you that good push that you need to move forward towards your goals.
The best CrossFit gym, or any gym really. Safety is the number one priority and coach and owner Amy knows when to push you and when to have you dial it back. She values YOUR goals and where you are right then and where you want to get to. There is no starting point that she can’t work with. The hardest step is getting there but once you walk in, you never want to go anywhere else.
Wonderful uplifting environment. Tough yet encouraging staff and members.
Great box, great coaches and a fun atmosphere. I also love that Amy is highly involved with the local community. It was easy to feel at home here.
I have nothing but great things to say about this coach & her gym. Amy makes Crossfit accessible to beginners and seasoned athletes, alike. She is extremely knowledgeable and able to adapt/modify any exercise for all abilities and injuries without toning down the intensity. She has cultivated a truly strong sense of community among her members that makes you feel instantly welcome.
Any of you that might follow me for reviews would know that I don’t review places that aren’t restaurants or cafes. It just isn’t my shtick. However, that Amy has made a gym is such an excellent caliber that I’m breaking my rule. This is literally the first review I have ever written on google for none food or coffee related establishment.I’ve been to several great gyms in my “fitness journey” but there really is something extraordinary about what Amy has put together here. First off, Amy is ridiculously exceptional and the technical pieces of Crossfit. The level that she can break a movement down, and coach a person through it is top-tier. She, and all of the coaches, also do a remarkable job of making sure everyone gets attention. One of the ways she does this is by limiting class sizes to a manageable number of members. You will NEVER make it through a class without a coach coming by to evaluate your form and give you pointers on how you can improve. It’s really this level of personal attention and attention to excellence that sets Salt de Terre apart from other gyms.On top of the day-to-day WODs, Amy also puts a lot of effort into hosting clinics for specific movements and areas of the body. I’ve been to a Jump-Rope-Clinic and a few mobility clinics, and I honestly don’t really get the chance to go to many. Amy, again, takes it to the next level though. After any clinic you can expect to see pieces of the clinic incorporated into the warm ups of the next classes. She doesn’t just present the information to her members, she incorporates it into her style, into the coaching mentality of the gym.And all this was before COVID. To say I’ve been blown away my Salt de Terre’s response to this would be an understatement. First Amy reduced class sized and had people disinfecting stuff. Then when the gym had to close, she didn’t miss a beat. She loaned out gym equipment to the members and were almost immediately hosting online Zoom workouts multiple times a day. Then she added yoga classes (hosted by some of the gym members that teach yoga), and then a mental health clinic, and then weekend get together events (baking, make-up, murder mystery, etc). While I can’t imaged the effort this took, you would think she had already prepared for it. That’s how seamless it felt.I honestly can’t recommend Salt de Terre, Amy, and the staff there enough. If you like Crossfit style workouts (no AC, lots of movement, and no treadmills) that you will absolutely love Salt de Terre. And as much as I hope you don’t steal my gym spot, I really do hope you check it out.Let’s be real, there are thousands of gyms in the city and most of them have the same equipment. You don’t go to a gym because of the equipment, you go because of the coaching (at least you should). And Amy is one of the best coaches I have ever had, and she’s one of the best coaches you can ever have too.
If you want a place to fall in love with CrossFit in a noncompetitive, supportive way, this is the place! Amy is an incredible coach able to really individualize a work out even in a small group setting. Great community feel, family friendly, and just an all around great place to get your butt in shape!
I have been apart of many CrossFit gyms, but this gym is unlike any other! At other the gyms, they only care about who can do the most skills or lift the heaviest, but not at CrossFit Salt de Terre. This gym has the coolest environment and you automatically feel at home when you are here. Everyone at the gym is so nice and the coaches are concerned about your well being as a person and an athlete. Salt de Terre is honestly the best gym!! Amy is so dedicated to her people and it shows. I’ve been going to Salt for about 9 months and not only have I’ve gotten stronger but I’ve become part of the family! There are skills that Amy has taught me, that I would have never tired at other gyms. I.e rope climbs, pulls ups, handstand push-ups. She creates a safe, and fun learning environment where you can get better everyday! If you are looking for a gym and haven’t tried CrossFit Salt De Terre, I recommend you do. You are going to love it!
I’ve trained with several personal trainers and NONE are as attentive, detailed and helpful as Amy. She explains every move and stays with you until you get it right. She has great suggestions to help you tweak your form. She is an awesome trainer and has a great personality. She makes me want to work harder and succeed!
If I lived here, this would be my home box. I drop in frequently around the country (travel for work) & the kindness, professionalism & coaching I received while here was top notch. Amy CLEARLY demonstrates that she’s here to coach her athletes to do better than they did yesterday while supporting them with critical feedback about their form. She never missed a beat. Programming was solid. Athletes were super friendly & the facility was clean & organized. Highly recommend dropping in bc I’m certain you’ll have the same experience I did. Oh! One last thing. The facility is BEHING the “art” building which I think was actually a brewery. The box is in what looks like a garage.
Great space with an excellent layout. You won’t find better coaching. Amy is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. The members are fun group too.
If you are looking for a new fitness adventure this is the place for you!!! I am a professional in my 40s who has never been athletic in my life! I heard about Crossfit through friends a few years ago, and tried other places, but the vibe was all wrong. Amy, and Crossfit Salt De Terre is family, its different. I have a busy schedule, I want to get in, and get out, and I want to see results. With Amy’s coaching I get results, and we work around my physical limitations. I show up, I do the work, and I see my gradual progress over time, its perfect!. Its one big family, where a whole community comes together and celebrates everyones personal journey. If your looking for something different, with no attitude, that will get you results regardless of your fitness level or limitation, this is the place for you!
This is my first CrossFit experience and I love it! Amy is a wonderful coach and kicking my butt everytime I go! Everyone was is super welcoming and encouraging and the location is unique too. Definitely check this out!
This is the best gym Ive ever gone to, hands down. Amy, the owner and head coach, is super knowledgeable and helpful whether youre new to CrossFit or have been doing it for years. Either way youll leave with an awesome workout in a down to earth environment. Highly recommend 👌👌
I dropped in when I was visiting Jacksonville and the class was great! The owner and coach Amy was very knowledgeable and encouraging throughout the class. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area!
Friendly and welcoming crossfit community. Owner and head coach, Amy, is honest and as genuine as they come, she will work with you to help modify for injuries or other limitations. Excellent and fun programming that will be sure to make you sweat!
Coach Saltmarsh is the best!Be ready to be challenged and encouraged, in a friendly and safe environment.
This is a great gym for anyone. The coaching is top notch and it’s a friendly atmosphere with supportive members. You’ll make friends and get in shape.
CrossFit Salt de Terre is an extremely clean gym, Amy is an incredible coach, and you really feel like youre a part of a family when you are there. I cant say enough good things about this place! Highly, highly recommend
Great sized space with brand-new shiney equipment in a super cool trainsitioning neighborhood. The owner Amy knows her stuff is incredibly dedicated to making sure that everyone who walks into this gym has a healthy, fun, and safe experience every time regardless of age, experience, or abilty. The other members are just as welcoming and awesome. Truly a gym for EVERY body.
As someone who can be easily intimidated and is pretty shy, I was incredibly nervous to try CrossFit. I have taken years of various fitness classes but had absolutely no experience lifting heavy, nor was I at all familiar with the barbell. Amy offers a three part Fundamentals course to give each of her members the personal attention and encouragement to help newbies (like me) learn the movements, and most importantly avoid injury. I went to two other CrossFit gyms before this one, and both times I struggled to understand the movements in the middle of a intense workout, but Amy is just so patient and skilled at explaining these things that things suddenly started to click in my mind, it made all the difference. I honestly could not imagine a friendlier gym, everyone is so welcoming while also helping to push you to give every workout the very best you have. I only wish I had started sooner. I have a long way to go, but I know there is no better gym in Jax to work with.
Great box, close to the interstate. Clean, friendly, nice atmosphere and great coaching!!
Amy is a fantastic coach, super helpful and friendly. I wish she was the coach at my home gym!
Woman owned business, Located in the outskirts of riverside. Only a 10 minute bike ride from publix in riverside . (Just google map it ! It’s likely very close to any area of the urban core)They offer Yoga and krav too!Owner amy is amazingly selfless and is simply great to be around! Her consistency in coaching is amazing! She has the same level of intensity at 6am or at 6pm- because she is fueled by passion ! She is also extremely knowledgeable, so she can quickly offer modified versions of the Excercises should you not be able to perform to standard..... but she watches and has great intuition to know when you are ready to work to standard .She pushes you to perform!She is very motivating and fun . I really enjoy crossfit but mostly how she teaches it!
Great coaching and friendly environment!
Great place for everyone. Be prepared for a week of sore muscles.
