A very good place for people of all levelsPros:1. Trainers are very committed and friendly2. Workouts are well structured and the trainer demonstrates every workout before you do it. And they also give extra attention to beginners in a class which is nice.3. There is a class every 30 mins during peak hours.4. showers, towel service and lockers available for no extra chargeCons:Nothing major

I joined two months ago, and Ive had a great experience. Ive had gym memberships and personal trainers before, but NCFits class format is a lot more fun and its a heck of a full-body workout. The trainers are, without exception, all friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. The workouts are tough most days, but the trainers are very good about scaling intensity to match your current level. Youll never be asked to do something you simply cant do. After two months going 3 days per week, I am a lot stronger and I just feel better in general. Highly recommended.

I HIGHLY recommend NorCal Crossfit. After a single workout youll see why. The coaches are knowledgeable and energetic, focusing on proper technique and encouraging everyone. Ive visited multiple times and am always welcomed like a permanent member. They embody the community spirit of CrossFit by not hassling visitors for a drop-in fee. You wont be disappointed.

I was in town for work this week and emailed ncfit to ask which location would be best if I needed to be able to do a qualifier work out. The manager said the best location was Mountain View. I walked in tonight and asked if I needed to sign in or anything as I had paid for two open gym sessions the night before, I was told no. So I went to the back room set up for my qualifier, my camera, my clock, it was very clear that I was carefully setting up for something, there was a class going on, but it was two people and I made sure to set up away from them. I started my work out just before 6:00, no one informed me a class would be coming in, the coach of the class tried to interrupt me, then the other coach who saw me set up all my stuff came over and stopped me mid work out. I was half way through, my score is due tmrw. I don’t understand why it was not communicated to me that I had to stop at 6:00 or why I wasn’t warned that class would be starting before I started. The coach made every excuse, but at no point did he apologize or act like he cared at all. He basically told me that he didn’t care if I went to another gym, or that I was upset. Perhaps this gym is good for your average joe, but competitors I wouldn’t recommend going here. Nice space, but not a competitors gym.

Couldnt ask for a better gym. I started a year ago and have enjoyed steady improvement all year long. Great coaches who teach when you need it, push when you need it and share incredible knowledge. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff. Great work out. Centralized and easily accessible location. I was recommended to this location when I asked around for a place to drop in while I was in town for work. I would do the same if I know anyone going there or lives there.

Alex and the crew are excellent. They have great workouts programming, and they scale it down for all types. Theyre really good coaches and put a lot of effort into making sure everyone is keeping the right form during workouts and no one gets hurt whenever were dealing with heavy weights. Definitely one of the best CFs in NorCal!The community itself is also very cheery and encouraging. They organize a lot of get togethers and activities on the weekends.

I will always be grateful for the NCFIT Mountain View gym. It was a place that saved me during a difficult period of transition in my life and Im sad to be leaving it due to a job change that takes me out of the area.The coaches are diverse and each have a unique, positive personality that they contribute to members, while also having strong relationships among themselves. They show they care through their enthusiasm, happiness to see you and watchful eye during complex movements. While the class sizes can get big, they often have 2 coaches on the floor and somehow manage to execute the classes smoothly while paying attention to individual movement quality. The coaches themselves compete in CrossFit, are insanely fit, practice mindfulness and nutrition practices, and themselves do the programmed workouts. They walk the talk and this is really important for members to see in their coaches. They are funny, knowledgeable, approachable, kind, and actively promote community between the members.The member mix is a good sampling of general people of all levels working out and some athletes who are really impressive - just enough to be inspiring but not intimidating to someone new to CrossFit.The programming is excellent. It is comprehensive, managing to cover classic CrossFit (benchmark and named workouts), strength, Olympic Weightlifting, aerobic capacity, interval weight training, gymnastics skillwork, recovery/blood flow, functional body building, and some classic body building. One can see that there is a long term design built around benchmark tests that makes logical sense and helps an individual work on progress in an area, rather than just going to do some random workout that crushes you for no reason. For example, a variety of clean and jerk based workouts over the span of weeks, leading up to retesting Grace. Or a 1 mile test followed by weeks of programming in which running is a component of an interval weight training AMRAP, and an eventual 1 mile retest. Programming around the Open seemed tailored to challenge your engine or maintain your fitness, depending on how you wanted to go about the Open, with active recovery workouts programmed for Thursday and the Open workout programmed as the Friday workout. The programming for the weekend is generally a tough, volume-heavy partner workout, named workout or something you could take at an easier pace, particularly if it follows a more intense, heavy week of training. The programming is thoughtful and intelligent, and Im considering buying it to do on my own at my next gym.Also, the warm-ups are a combination of movements tailored to each workout, and are therefore different for every class. This reflects the thoughtful intention behind preparing the body with movement specific warm-ups. This level of attention to detail and intent is really impressive.The weightlifting coaching is as good as you can get in a group class setting. I have received many helpful observations, cues, and suggestions that have helped me understand how I was moving my body, or given me greater awareness around the mechanics of the snatch / clean and jerk / squat / deadlift.Lastly, the front desk staff are warm and friendly, taking care of that all important first moment a member walks in the door, and that last moment when you walk out and they say goodbye.
