We made an appointment for a “Free No-Sweat Intro” as stated on the website (see photo), and went by to check out the gym to meet Michael Kastroba. We expected a coach to sit down with us to discuss our goals and receive guidance and advice to get started. The coach appeared rushed to get us out of there as fast as possible and minimally discussed the programming there i.e. CrossFit, Jiu Jitsu, etc. I inquired about a trial class and informed the coach that we had experience with CrossFit and had just moved to the area. The coach stated they didn’t have trial classes but was told they only offered 30 day trials for around $150 each. However, the website clearly stated there is a three-class trial for $19.99 as depicted in the photo. I asked him if we could just do a drop in (see photo) and he stated they didn’t do drop-ins. However, their website lists one class drop ins, among others. Either the coach was dishonest or didn’t know about the trial classes but he should have known. If there are no trial classes so that we can get to know the community to see if it’s a right fit before making an investment, nor drop-ins allowed, then this should be removed from your website. If I had known, my family wouldn’t have wasted our time. Therefore, based on the above, we didn’t have a very good experience or first impression.

Great buffet! Food is wonderful..

Amazing experience. I was visiting for the weekend and I went there for a workout. The staff was excellent treated me like a member. Went above and beyond. The instructor was excellent helped me with my technique. Will definitely go back there again next time I’m in town.

Awesome coaches, great community, fun workouts

I love working out at Manasas cross fit. The coaches are very knowledgeable about it, also they are very professional when it comes to training. They motivate the crew to keep going to finish the work out that makes me feel great. Its worth getting up early and get the exercise finish. The benefits are great.

This place has changed my life! I worked out here long before I became a Coach and began working at the gym full time. The members make CFM a welcoming, supportive place to go everyday. I cant say enough good things about my fellow coaches and the facility is AMAZING (all the gear you could ever need)! Were not just a gym, were a community and a true strength & conditioning program.

I could never say enough great things about Crossfit Manassas. Becoming a part of this gym has really been a life changer. I went from forcing myself to workout to forcing myself to take rest days! The community of coaches and fellow members continues to motivate and inspire me to come everyday..... even if the workout sucks! They provide nutrition coaching and counseling that has helped changed so much in my life already and Im only getting started. With a strong emphasis on safety, you know youre in good hands, so dont be shy and just give it a try. I guarantee youll be warmly greeted, especially if you run into me! :)

Ive been an avid CrossFit(ter) since 2013. I recently joined CrossFit Manassas when my original gym closed its doors. The entire staff, as well as clientele have been EXTREMELY open and inviting. The coaching there is above reproach. There were certain plateaus that I have been at with my oly lifts, and with just a few tweaks, and demonstrations, Ive been hitting PR after PR. Love this place!!!!

I decided to join Crossfit Manassas about a month ago. I am 40yrs old and was a little hesitant to try something new. After my two day introductory class I realized that with the knowledgeable coaching staff that anyone at any fitness level can feel comfortable starting Crossfit at this gym. Regardless of your experience level you will be instructed step by step on the work out of the day and the proper technique to complete your workout. There is a very family/friendly atmosphere that filters down from the owner Doug and his entire staff.

My home away from home! I have been a member of Crossfit Manassas for just about 2 years. I previously went to another CF gym in the area prior to taking off time for school and wanted to check out new gyms when I finished. The friendliness of the staff was obvious from my phone call to find out more information about the gym. I signed up for the 3 introductory classes to get a feel for the gym and the coaches and have never looked back.The Coaching staff is very knowledgeable. They constantly work to improve their understanding of the body through weightlifting, Crossfit, and nutritional certifications. Coaches are more than happy to share their knowledge, be it strength gains, muscle gains, or weight loss. They understand that each person has different goals and do whatever they can to assist you to achieve them.It will be obvious the first time you walk in the door that the friendly, welcoming attitude of everyone (I REALLY MEAN EVERYONE), the world class coaching and programming, and the outstanding facilities make it The happiest place in Virginia!

We drop-in to CrossFit Manassas when we visit my parents in Haymarket, VA, and it is the best box I have ever visited. Not only do the staff and members welcome you with open arms (which is somewhat expected in CrossFit), but the coaches go the extra step to understand your strengths and weaknesses before the workout to ensure they can do everything in their ability to make you better and get as much value from the workout as possible. The staffs overall love and understanding of CrossFit shines through in the programming and the progressions/scales they provide to their members to ensure the highest quality CrossFit experience possible. In talking to the owner, the rigorous process and the required continuing education the coaching staff is required to maintain is unprecedented which also leads to a better CrossFit experience for both members and visitors.In our last visit, the box lived up to their unofficial name of PR City as I PRed my bench press - yes they programmed a regular bench press (not floor press) because they have enough racks and benches for the ENTIRE CLASS. Which leads me to another amazing aspect of the box - the equipment. Not only do they have a massive rig in the middle that can accommodate a ton of people, but they also have a dedicated area that has permanent gymnastic mats along the wall giving you a great place to work on handstand progressions or wall walks. Not to mention the massive amount of oly plates and rowers, but rarities at most boxes, but they have an OUTSIDE rig and dedicated stone pit. The use of technology to further the member experience is impressive as well. The staff encourages each member to report and track progress on beyondthewhiteboard, so that measurable results can be achieved.My wife, who is a Level 1 CrossFit Trainer at our home gym, said after our last visit, if we moved out of PA, we should consider the Manassas area just so she can coach and train at this facility. If you are visiting or considering trying CrossFit you cannot go wrong with starting at CrossFit Manassas.

Crossfit Manassas is the second crossfit program I have been associated with. By far, the coaching, program, and facility are world class. Crossfit Manassas has given me 100 pound plus gains in several lifts. I have dropped many pounds of body fat by listening to the coaches in all their advise. If you want to make change in your life, Crossfit Manassas is the place for you.

Before I discovered Crossfit Manassas, I was a chronic McDonalds eater as well as a habitual cigarette and marijuana smoker. I had not done anything athletic since high school about 10 years prior. My exercise was couch based, and whatever I could get walking to and from my car throughout the day. There came a day though when I realized if I continued down the path I was on the quality of my life would continue to sink below the low it was already at. At crossfit manassas I not only found a life changing exercise regimen where all the programming, technique training and motivating trainers were included, I also found other things that were just as important. Community. Role models. Direction. Focus. And most importantly, health. After joining Crossfit Manassas I quit smoking cigarettes and marijuana and kicked my mcdonalds habit. I have learned what I am physically capable of, and am enjoying being able to move better than I ever have in my entire life. Its been 3 years now and I am a level 1 certified crossfit trainer, and I am in the best shape ive ever been in.

I started at crossfit manassas a year ago and it has changed my life. Growing up I danced never knew how to lift weights and was always intimidated by the gym. . All the coaches and members at Crossfit Manassas are so welcoming and encouraging they will help you find your strengths and improve your weaknesses. With Coach Dougs knowledge of crossfit and well thought out programming it has helped me to set and achieve my goals. Just like the front door says ”Happiest place in Virginia!”

I highly recommend this gym! Crossfit Manassas / Vanguard Gym is an amazing facility. I travel a lot in my work, and Ive been to a dozen or more CF gyms around the country and dozens more Globo-gyms all over the world. This is hands-down one of the very best facilities and staff that Ive ever had the pleasure of visiting. In addition to having a great gym with a huge amount of both open space and basic equipment (barbells, safety / Rogue racks, plates, etc), they also have lots of specialty equipment not usually available in a CF or Globo-gym (swiss bars, chains, lifting platforms, etc). Finally, Doug (the owner) and his coaches are knowledgable, down-to-earth, and friendly. They recognize that individuals have specific needs to address goals, weaknesses, etc. This is a world-class gym with none of the pretentious, overly-elite attitude found elsewhere. Go to CF Manassas.
