I am an intermediate-at-best crossfitter from out of town; I stopped by the gym two mornings while here and both times the coaches (Ashley and Paul) were amazing and helpful, athletes were super hospitable and nice, and the facility is in great condition and well-equipped. Even got lots of great local recommendations for things to do in the area! Recommend this place for anyone.

Best place to train, and a true community. In my many years of training and exercising Ive never met more helpful, kind, and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!

Dropped into the 5am class. Great welcome, really friendly people and good program. Thanks!

Visited Ruination in late Jan 2017. Very good trainers and coaching; watch for technique improvement, help the new ones, organizing big classes. Owner/s are welcoming and attentive to members, and with me visiting. Box is clean and well fitted, all the equipment youd ever need, even for competitive. Only wish is for members to be more welcoming and supportive, although some were and it was ok for boxes I visit and have joined; just a peeve of mine. Location seemed good for the area, I was in Lake Forest and got to Laguna easy. This box just added to my enjoyable stay in Irvine.

I was at ruination for 6 months on a travel assignment and this gym is amazing. I have yet to find another like it from south to north Cali. The coaches are enthusiastic and knowledgeable as most of them compete as well. The gym is very clean and the equipment is stellar. Would take an assignment in that area again just to go back.

Awesome experience! Paul is one of the trainers who is super friendly and welcoming and makes modifications to the workouts to fit your fitness level. Shannon is one of the owners and is just as positive and welcoming. If your are looking to take control of your health, get results, and be in a positive setting, ruination crossfit is the place to be!

I was visiting the area and dropped into this gym. Great gym, lots of space, good class energy. I have my own programming, but they wouldnt let me do anything but their wod. However, they did let me switch out the strength piece.

Dropped in here for a class while out on vacation. Top notch facility! Friendly people! If I ever get back to Cali I will definitely be dropping in again.

Great coaching, great community and nice place. I will be back.

My first time here dropping in along my road trip from Vegas and up through Cali. Im an avid crossfitter, and i travel all over. The owner met me at the door with open arms along with the coach who had just started coaching a class. I couldnt have felt more welcomed. Thankyou so much for such a kick ass workout! Most of all Thankyou for making me fee so welcomed!

Been a member here since 2010. Best coaches, great community, fun workouts!

Impressive gym and people! Dropped in here for the open while on vacation! See you soon!

Great CrossFit class
