Best gym in town

Ive been a member for about three years and I can confidently say that CrossFit Merced changed my life - Im healthier and stronger (and even faster, but also, I kinda hate running) than Ive ever been and it has been great for my mental health. The coaches are knowledgeable and helpful, and really push you to get better while also making sure that you are maintaining good form.The space is huge, well-lit, well-equipped, and clean. There is a ton of equipment as well, and space to do auxiliary work by yourself.Finally, I travel a lot, so Ive had the chance to drop in at other boxes across the United States, and I have to say that no where have I had a better experience, in terms of the quality of the box and coaching, the community Ive built, and the price for service as great as this. I would recommend CFM to anyone (in fact, I have, and one of my good friends has become a CrossFit Merced convert himself).

Started working out here as a CrossFit skeptic, but Id have to say that after a few months Ive totally changed my opinion. A large part of my change of heart probably has to do with the instructors, who immediately made me feel more comfortable with high volume lifts by providing feedback and scaling workouts as necessary. I have a previous joint injury that bothers me sometimes, and some of the instructors who see me regularly have made a point of suggesting alternative exercises without me having to approach them. The owners are friendly and wont push you to sign a contract if you call asking for more information. Highly recommended.

We visited for a drop in work out (for experienced Crossfitters, contact the gym). Gym is organized, clean and professional. We were welcome and included. Staff are friendly. Looking forward to another visit the next time we are in the area!

I dropped in at this place for a week and it was the epitome of everything wrong with CrossFit. The coaches and owner had big egos but they were neither skilled nor supportive. The coaching they offered was lackluster and no one seemed to care or be aware of dangerous body positions. The programming itself was short and not challenging, but the coaches would act as if it was the hardest most difficult workout. No one gets attention unless theyre friends of the owners and coaches. The classes seem more like gossip sessions than a serious workout.The space is nice, new, but also very unfinished. Frayed carpeting stood up and raised rubber mats that were not secured seemed dangerous when members were forced to run inside. It also looked as if no one bothered cleaning the place as the rubber mats had the fine aroma of well-aged body odor and the pull-up bars had the vintage patina of dried blood mixed with chalk. All the equipment is old and beat up but they scream and cry if a member drops a 10lb weight.The location and boastful reputation was what brought me to this gym. The promise of air conditioning seemed like a good idea for hot california summers, but they never ran it to the point where it was noticeable. The gym was just a hot muggy smelly mess with bad coaches.They get two stars because I was not charged anything for the week I was there because they seemed desperate for members. I tried the other gym across town and found the atmosphere to be more inviting and encouraging.

Crossfit Merced has excellent passionate coaches and a welcoming family like community. They adjust workouts to push you at whatever level of shape you are in so that Crossfit is accessible to everyone. Highly recommend!

Wanted to take the time to acknowledge Demaris and Gus for pushing me through hard workouts when I had no faith I could finish, I am currently battling overweight and knee problems but this gym is so well equipped and so many eyes on you when it comes to formation and insuring if there is any movements that need to be modified they will jump in and modify them imidiately without making me feel a total failure. The workouts at Cf merced are fast and effective love the environment and atmosphere the music the cleanliness the AC!!! And the change up of workouts every day! Love this spot its my stress reliever after a long day at work.

Fun workouts. Great coaching. Awesome community.

Very informative and helpful staff.Planning on starting soon we will see how it goes.
