I have been to a wide variety of CrossFit gyms over the last 4 years, and CrossFit Paladin is truly something special. It is perfect for a beginner looking to dive into the CrossFit world or experienced athletes. Melissa and Jasper are by far the most welcoming and knowledgeable owners/coaches I’ve encountered, and they have an amazing staff to back them up (shout out to Cade, Dustin, Jennie and Hollie). To top it off all of the regulars that attend classes are very welcoming and make you feel at home.This gym has an amazing vibe, wealth of knowledge and is very clean with top of the line equipment. If you are reading this feel comfortable reaching out to CrossFit Paladin you won’t regret it!
CrossFit Paladin is my home away from home, and I couldnt be more blessed by the family Ive found with our coaches and the other members. I was always intimidated by CrossFit and the intense crossfitters, but the family at CrossFit Paladin is anything but intimidating. Melissa and Jasper are top notch coaches who care about each individual members progress, wellbeing and experience. There are no shortcuts or cheats promoted here; just 100% hard work, good technique and form, and a lot of fun. I love being able to work out with amazing people, who constantly support each other in every step of this journey. I worked out all through my pregnancy, and Melissa helped me work postpartum to get my nutrition in order--its been 18 months since I had my daughter and I really feel stronger, fitter and generally more confident (physically, mentally, and emotionally) than I ever have!!!
CrossFit Paladin has been my gym home since June of 2014! I have always been active and had a background in competitive sports, but CrossFit offered a completely different way of exercising than I was used to. While initially I was intimidated and unsure of some of the movements, I also quickly realized how much I LOVED the new challenges and I was HOOKED!Jasper, Melissa and the other coaches do an excellent job of taking those initially “intimidating” movements and teaching the proper form, fundamentals, and modifications necessary to meet the needs of the individual. CrossFit truly is for EVERYONE! Come be a part of our fitness family at CrossFit Paladin! You won’t regret it!
Such a welcoming gym for anyone at any fitness level!! Would recommend to anyone. It’s definitely been a positive bonus to my life :)
I shopped around Lubbock, trying multiple boxes before I landed at Paladin. The gym has a community feel that gets lost in a lot of other mega boxes, but the services, coaching, and attention are top-of-the-line. Everything from the programming to the coaching and community service is intentional. Im proud to be a member.
Unquestionably the best run Crossfit gym in Lubbock. The staff goes out of their way to show that theyre there to help you reach your fitness goals. great people, great culture!! I love this place. Update - There was a period of time that i took a hiatus from the gym. Melissa, was kind enough to check on my wellbeing and to see if i was still working out. she didnt even try to get me to come back, she just wanted to make sure i was still working out and even provided me with a several workouts i could do from home. Im back at the gym again and couldnt be happier. I will not go anywhere else but this gym .
Dropped in while at a conference in Lubbock. The coaches (Tony and Holly) are awesome! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Melissa (owner) was great! Made me feel welcome. The facility is amazing! Very clean and has everything! Thanks for having me!
I thank God for CrossFit Paladin. I was scared out of my mind to attend my first few classes. I have never been an elite athlete, not even close. Growing up I was not a student who coaches noticed, I was never someone coaches spent a lot of time with, I was never someone who was going to make a significant contribution to my sports team, I was never someone coaches cared about. That all changed when I walked into Paladin.You will find people of all ages, sizes, and strengths at Paladin. The coaches (Melissa, Jasper, Tony, Holly, Gerald, literally everyone!!) are truly amazing. They genuinely care for the individual successes of everyone - not just the most advanced athletes. They arent trying to put themselves on the map for having the most elite athletes in town, they are striving to create a community of diverse, healthy minded individuals - and its working.They give me attention and coaching that I never thought I was worthy of. They have helped me reach fitness goals that I never knew were possible. They have opened my mind and heart to so much more and they have challenged me to try so many new and exciting things. The coaches have such an in-depth knowledge of CrossFit and our bodies that they can help anyone achieve anything!Plus, its SO MUCH FUN. Youll join thinking youll be just another member, but youll quickly become a friends and family with the Paladin community.
I literally tried every CrossFit Box in Lubbock before choosing Paladin as my home. The community is welcoming, friendly and supportive. The programming well planned and thought out. But what impressed me the most, was the coaching. It is rare that you see a coaching staff that is as attentive and knowledgeable as the ones at Paladin.
Great place to workout. All of the dudes here are total rock solid hard body babes with great personalities. The girls are ok too. If you like being shredded to the bone and yoked out of your mind then this is the place for you. If you aren’t into that, it’s still the place for you. I dig it.
Love this gym!!! The people are kind and very friendly! The coaches make sure the instructions are clear and easy to understand! Working out is more enjoyable when you have fun and love the people you workout with!!! I’m always motivated to come workout! I get better results here than any other gym!Years later and this place is still the best!!
The atmosphere at CrossFit Paladin is incredible and something I have never experienced from any other gym. From day one everyone welcomed me in with open arms (as a brand new CrossFitter :)! Here Melissa and Jasper both will go out of their way to help you with a movement and/or learn challenging techniques. They are both highly educated and full of helpful tips. This is why I chose to drive 22 miles (round trip) to this gym versus the other gyms close to me. Highly recommended!
Great place to come workout. The coaches take the time to explain the proper moves and then they help you with your form throughout your workouts. Everyone is very kind and welcoming. Couldn’t ask for a better place to go.
Ive been doing CrossFit for over 8 years with most of that time being at CF Paladin and I am sad I didnt start there sooner! From the moment I walked in everybody was super friendly and helpful! The coaches do an amazing job at making sure you understand the movements and they love when you ask questions. If youre thinking about starting CrossFit or just in Lubbock on vacation, the gym would love to have you!
The friendliest and coolest gym in the States! The coaches always have good input and know exactly which small adjustments that make the difference. I felt like a part of the awesome members community from day ONE and the WOD at Paladin is the favorite part of my day.
Awesome Crossfit box, great people!
Every day I wake up and can’t wait till I get out of work, not for the same reason as everyone else but to come here. This place pushes you to do things that you thought were the unreachable. The coaches here are like family, very knowledgeable, always supportive and know exactly how to get the most out of you. This is my home away from home.
I recently joined here after my gym closed and I love it!! In just a couple of months I have noticed a huge difference in my fitness thanks to the wonderful coaches. They take their time and care about developing your skills. The people here make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. If you looking to try crossfit or just join a new place this is the place to come to!
Ive been with CrossFit Paladin for almost two months now and I am certain you cannot find a better CrossFit gym in Lubbock. The Coaches are phenomenal and the members Ive had the privilege of working out with are extraordinarily friendly and always willing to help each other out. All of the coaches are well oriented not only on improving members fitness but also ensuring our safety as they do so. Whether your a veteran to this intense workout or a terribly unfit beginner such as myself, this gym will provide a positive, clean environment to improve your health and strength.
Ive been going to Crossfit Paladin for five years now and I love it. Great coaches with amazing experience and skills, and the people are great too. We are like a large family working hard together.
This place is absolutely amazing! The coaching is the best around that you will receive. In fact, I was so inspired by the coaching staff, that I went and got certified myself as a trainer. The members here are fantastic and they make working out as a group a memorable experience. If you are curious about giving Crossfit a try, this gym needs to be your first experience!
I have been doing CrossFit for almost 3 years and I have been at CrossFit Paladin for the last year. I absolutely love it! The coaches are great and are always wanting to help you improve! They encourage everybody to get better and know how to focus on the little things to help you improve with the big movements. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, they are more than willing to give you the time and the assistance! Not only is the coaching great, but everybody at the gym are huge encouragers and they want everyone to succeed. The gym has great workouts and a very friendly atmosphere. I couldnt ask to be part of a better gym!
Best crossfit gym ever!! Welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable not timid! They are sure to go through every movement thoroughly so that you are comfortable and ready to tackle the workouts!
What I love about CrossFit Paladin is the great community who is welcoming to newbies, the AMAZING coaches who are super patient but push you hard, and the fact that it’s college student finances friendly unlike most CF gyms!
Very nice cross fit gym everyone is super friendly
Crossfit Paladin is an amazing atmosphere! The people are welcoming and always willing to help out! Crossfit Paladin is for everyone, whether youre just wanting to get a good workout, lose some weight, compete with friends, or just wanting a new experience, Paladin is the place for you!
Great gym, great people. Very family oriented!
Crossfit Paladin is a great place to workout and meet a lot of amazing people!!
Crossfit Paladin is hands down the best crossfit gym in Lubbock and the region. The coaching staff is exceptional. The other members represent exactly what crossfit is about. In 5 short months I have accomplished more than I ever did in strength and conditioning training in school as well as any lifting on my own at another gym. Dont waste your money on these worthless gyms in Lubbock. Go to Paladin, meet the people, and get on the gainztrain!!
Crossfit Paladin is terrible!! Everytime I come in Im greeted with a friendly smile and a genuine how are you?. Then, they take up all my time explaining how to do every movement...They say they dont want me to get hurt. Then before you know it theyer making me sweat!! Unbelieveable!! To top it all off, after the workout, they make you stretch...the nerve of them. I was real content being fat, unhappy and out of shape and the coaches and people at Crossfit Paladin changed it all. On a serious note, you couldnt ask for a better group of people and even better coaches that will motivate and guide you to changing and improving your life both menatlly and physically. My opinion, there is no other option for Crossfit in Lubbock.
You wont.
