For the most part I would say the people here are nice, some are downright exceptional human beings, I will say though that I think that some of its members would probably prefer it if everyone was exceptional at CrossFit as they are a competitive scene, despite this I would not say that I felt compelled to leave, although I dont really as a beginner feel good enough at CrossFit to be amongst their numbers. I do hope one day that I really am good enough and feel good enough to be there, but the owners are wonderful people from what I can tell and they offer the most diverse classes I have ever experienced thus far.

By far the best gym, programing, facilities and community around. One of the best decisions I ever made was to come to go hg!! Not only am I better mentally but my fitness is the best it’s ever been. There is so much room to do anything you want, classes for literally everything and anyone, best coaches around and best of all some of the greatest people you could meet and be around. There are so many good athletes everyone pushes each other to be the best they can be and gets you outside of your comfort zone. It is my home away from home and my favorite place to be!!

Ive been doing CrossFit for around 5 years now and Ive been to some quality gyms with some great people, but HighGear is a gym like no other. The coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The programming is great, it is always challenging and produces noticable improvement. However, the coaches are more than capable of helping those with injuries or less experience to scale things to their level. The owners are amazing people who put a lot of money back into the gym and the members with give aways and new equipment. You can tell they are passionate about fitness and helping others! You will find top level athletes, weekend warriors, and fitness newbies. There truly is something for everyone with all the different classes offered. But, the best part of HighGear is the community. There are members from all walks of life that come together with the common goals of fitness and fun. They are all so encouraging and friendly, and everyone really supports one another, not just in the gym. We have made life long friends in this community and we cant imagine going anywhere else. It wasnt by accident that HighGear needed to move to a giant facility or that they have celebrated 5 years of being open. You wont find a better place to get fit!

I’ve been a member at Highgear for two years. I’m amazed at how welcoming and accommodating this group of people are. Highgear welcomes all into this crazy community. What I love most about HG is that everyone is the star of their own show with fans cheering everyone on. They/we push for the first to last place finisher. We celebrate the largest and smallest accomplishments. My favorite part of HG is that no one cares about what modifications, scaling options and inabilities anyone has, they are all on their own journey and just care that everyone is putting forth their best effort. I can’t imagine beginning my day at the 5 am class in any other gym. HG makes my days and my life better. Thank you, Bogue and Karos family for fostering a wonderful environment to keep my family healthy, physically and mentally.

Highgear is my home away from home. Being a foreign in this Country, basically knowing no one around here in Ohio, to now where my wife and I know so many awesome people, that we can call family! It’s a great community that not only will help you physically, which will sound weird because you thinking it’s only a gym, but will help you became a better person! Love the community, the people, the coaches and all the staff!

Started at HighGear nearly 2 years ago. Brand new to Crossfit. Thanks to a recommendation from Matt Gausman, the HighGear family welcomed me immediately...and has completely changed my workout strategy and fitness level. Truly great people and awesome coaches. Thank you HighGear!

The past 3 years have been an amazing fitness and health journey for me. I’m in the best shape of my life, I feel incredible and I have High Gear to thank for all of it. Every day is an adventure and I’m loving every minute of it. Do it! You won’t regret it.

Great gym no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Excellent programming, great coaches, and outstanding community. I have been a member for several years and joining was one of the best decision I made for both my physical and mental health.

I’ve been in the CF world for 5 years. I’ve visited over 30 different boxes across the country. CF High Gear is by far the best gym I’ve been to. The programming is challenging but set to all levels! The coaches are uniquely different but all care about your growth. The brother and sisterhood is second to none! 5-6 days a week 20-30 of us before dawn pursuing health, happiness and fitness. The ownership team unparalleled! #livingthehighgearlife! Savage life!

HighGear is an amazing community! The owners, coaches and members are all very welcoming and help motivate each other to be better each day! Im very thankful I joined 2 years ago and my mental and physical health has improved greatly!

From day 1 when Chris showed me around the gym and Anna coached me through the WOD to that very next day when Heidi (one of the owners) came up and introduced herself and then PARTNERED WITH ME, this gym is welcomed me with open arms. There is a lot of camaraderie and a place for everyone at whatever fitness level. Masterfully crafted workouts coupled with each athlete championing the other is what brings me back each day DESPITE my soreness 😉 Thank you, Heidi and Tom, for the culture and environment you have created 💜

HighGear has been more than a gym to me for 4+ years now. I GET TO train and Coach with these awesome people on a daily basis. Its my home away from home, and consider everyone at HighGear a friend. Tom and Heidi are invested in not only the individuals physical goal and well being, but also their mental and emotional health as well. In such a time of division in our world, HighGear seems to truly be a safe space where all divisive opinions and rhetoric stay outside the walls. We come together for something we all believe in and agree upon. Fitness and Health. Much love ❤ Amalie

This place is so much more than just a gym. It’s about community, people, and supporting each other, whatever each persons fitness goals are. Heidi, Tom, and all of the coaches are always looking to expand and create new programs to help us achieve more and we can’t thank them enough.

Best gym! The owner is so sweet too!

Highgear has changed my whole outlook on fitness and health. The coaching is top notch and the community they offer cannot be replaced. I look forward to showing up and getting the work done every single day! Something for everyone here!

The facilities are top notch and people are great! The coaches are very warm and welcoming. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience there

This isnt just a gym; its an amazing community! I used to think that Crossfit was just for those crazy people doing things I could never do. After taking the leap and trying a class, my family was hooked. In just one year I have gained strength, muscle, endurance, and improved my health in so many ways. However, thats not all. HighGear has also given me confidence, accountability, encouragement, and a community for which I am forever grateful! And its not just Crossfit. They have a multitude of other classes, including rowing, yoga, Strongman, and strength training as well. I strongly recommend giving this place a try! You, too, may very well find your new favorite place to be!!

Great gym with lots of perks to keep you motivated. The coaches are the real deal and the members are amazing! Highly recommended!!

I messed around with P90X, Insanity, normal gym memberships, etc. for more than a decade. Then I tried HighGear 2.5 years ago and I was instantly hooked. The workouts are intense and constantly varied. The community is supportive and competitive at the same time. The coaches truly care. And the owners are genuinely passionate. I am in the best shape since my early 20s. HighGear has had a huge positive impact on my life.

Heidi and all of HighGear have a fantastic supportive community to help you along your health journey, no matter where you are starting!

Highgear is our home away from home! We love that they offer so many different specialties and not just Crossfit! Every time you see people in there doing what they can with what they have. Just trying to make themselves harder to kill! Even during COVID they came up with a plan to promote fitness even when gyms were closed! Jeff, Heidi, Tom, and Anna have truly built something that is for people of all ages and for that I am forever thankful to be a part of this community!Come check it out, I am sure you will find something you love!

HighGear is a fantastic community! I have been here for a year and only regret not joining sooner. I have learned and grown so much! I started my CrossFit journey not really knowing what I was getting myself into and not having much previous workout experience. The coaching at HighGear is top notch! I have been incredibly encouraged and challenged here at HighGear. If you want to be a part of a caring, encouraging and fun environment and make make gains, HighGear is for you!

Can’t say enough about the amazing community at HighGear! I always leave feeling better both physically and mentally!

Wonderful gym with all the amenities, class choices, and great coaching!

Couldnt ask for a better community to work out with. Everyone is always so welcoming and caring and never misses a chance to help or guide you.

Love this place! Clean and inviting atmosphere! Friendly and encouraging people. Best gym I have ever been a member of. Something for everyone, Strongman, Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, kids and teens, Crossfit, yoga, personal training and nutrition! In the Cafe you can get Kellers Meats, Whey and Vegan Protein, snacks and recovery drinks, and all the sweet gear you need to get swole & flexy. Also, several bible studies are available and some service projects too!

There is always an energy at CrossFit Highgear that will help with your motivation for going and getting through a workout!

I think it’s awesome that you take people regardless of their fitness level. It’s not easy but you always provide alternatives for people who just may not be in as good of shape as the others. I’ve found the staff very responsive.

What an amazing experience joining this gym has been! The coaching is the best I have seen and the members are welcoming and friendly. Everything from the workouts, to the competitions, to the social events are very well organized and thought out. If you get the chance, check it out :)

The owners and coaches are awesome, they truly care about your fitness no matter your experience level when you start. The support and motivation you receive from within the community is unbelievable, I cant say enough great things. For me it was just what I needed to continue on my journey of becoming a healthy person!

This will be the best CrossFit Box in Ohio! Ive known and worked out with Tom and Heidi for several years and everything they do is always first class. With both of their excellent capabilities being combined..... This place will be fun, high energy, supportive, the best equipment, Great events and so much more.... Cant say enough good things about them! Try it out!

As nervous as I was to take the initial step through the doors of CrossFit High Gear, upon entering my nervousness quickly left. From the moment I came in I was greeted with a smile and a helping hand. Everyone from the trainers, the members to the owners have made me feel a part of something great. I finished my first week feeling amazing. No doubt I was sore, but the energy I gained from the momentum of the program was well worth the pain! I cant get enough of it! Cross fit itself is extraordinary, but what makes all the difference is doing it at CrossFit High Gear.

Tom and Heidi were my first CF coaches. Started CF with zero free-weight or group exercise experience 2 yrs ago. Travel often for work across the US and NEVER found a box/gym with better coaching - not even close. Extremely knowledgeable and sincere with technique, patience, why its done this way, weight amounts, helping everyone succeed and safely getting the most out of each movement/athlete. Moved out of state and greatly miss the challenge. CF HighGear is set-up to provide first-class service!

Owners Tom and Heidi not only have a passion for CrossFit but a passion for people. Their experience as coaches and CrossFit Games Regional athletes brings unique insight to CrossFit HighGear. They strive to offer a consistently safe and challenging experience for the newest CrossFit member and the most experienced as well as everyone in the middle. If youre looking for a new CrossFit home, or a place to see what all the CrossFit craze is about, this is the place.

Do you want to go to a box where you just workout, sweat, get it in and get out? Or do you want to go to a place where you are part of a community, a team, a group of people who are committed to you and your journey of becoming a better you? CFHG is amazing, great people, great environment, and the best place to get your fitness on. Get here now!

What can I say about Crossfit High Gear? Once you meet the owners, Heidi and Tom, you know you are in a very special place. Their level of expertise, and more importantly, their love for other people, really make it a place worth being a part of. Take the time to swing by and visit! Youll be glad you did!

I decided to try out CrossFit HighGear 5 months ago at the urging of a friend. My youngest was 6 months old, I was 20lbs overweight, and I hadnt excercised in over a year. 5 months later, I just today finished my last workout of the crossFit open; accomplishing things that I didnt think were possible even minutes before the beginning of the workout. This is all thanks to the amazing coaches and other members at HighGear. Joining this wonderful, supportive community has been life changing.

I have known Heidi Bogue for over 10 years. Her character is strong and her leadership skills amazing. Tom Karos is a focused and driven individual who can bring about great results whatever he puts his mind too. I have been lucky enough to experience their coaching in multiple situations. Both of them demonstrate professionalism in top form. They pay attention to your body form first and help you achieve the best results in your workouts. Anytime I was injured or struggling, they would change the level of difficulty to fit my goals that day. Both of them are a blast to work out with and I find myself laughing often. They will also push you to excel on your own level. Unfortunately I cant be there to experience this new box but I would recommend to anyone looking for a new home, this is the place to go. You wont find two better coaches under one roof and it will change your life for the better.

They just want your money. Very nice and fool you until you sign up for a long term membership. I havent been able to use the gym for the last 3 months and phony Kristel doesnt respond to emails about freezing your membership. Essentially I have paid $500 for one class. She sure does respond when its about making payments though. Your typical fake mega church people who go on mission trips but take money from the average person unscrupulously. I guess they dont think God cares about that. Members are corny married couples and OBESE women that never drop any weight despite working out 6-7 days a week. If youre fooled by that kind of thing, this place is for you.

I love being a member of CrossFit HighGear because of the great coaching and wonderful community that encourages and supports each other. The workouts are scaled to everyones abilities so I dont over do it and I stay within myself. I am 70 years young and are two and three generations older than most of my box-mates. I just got word from my doctor today to cut my cholesterol Meds in half. Since July I have also had diabetes and blood pressure Meds reduced significantly and have lost nearly 20 lbs. I took up CrossFit to become healthier so I hope to be 69 next year, then . . . Thanks to Heidi and Tom for their hard work and dedication in creating such a great environment where I can rejuvenate myself!

Awesome community of motivated people who truly care and encourage. Friendly atmosphere!

I have never done cross fit before so I was nervous about it, but its the best thing I did!! I am not fit, not athletic, no cordination. Yet everyone here is willing to be your partner, we cheer each other on, we whine together and keep each other motivated! Every coach explai nd well to make sure you understand. They motify for you and encourage you the whole time!! I am so glad I joined. I like getting up to go and hate when I miss. Thanks so much for being an amazing place

One of the best boxes ive been to. Looking forward to going back when Im in town.

So excited to see the lives that will be changed by this place!

Not a Crossfitter, but I know Tom Karos and Heidi Bogue and whatever they touch will be the best! The best for everyone who steps into their world and the best at running Highgear. Congratulations! 

Crossfit Highgear is a great place to workout with some great people. The coaches are amazing and will be able to help anyone change their lives for the better. They have experience with helping all types of people from seasoned athletes to total beginners and everyone inbetween.If youve ever thought of giving Crossfit a shot, this is the gym you should choose. There are a bunch of gyms out there and I can promise you that there are none that will offer you a better way to change your life.Big things are in store for Crossfit Highgear. Very soon they will be the best gym in Ohio.
