He is incredibly knowledgeable and caring; ideal combination of anyone who needs to have the proper amount of empathy and sternness to ensure positive results and transformations, both physically and mentally. If anyone is looking for a CrossFit gym or personal trainer, Ryan and CrossFit Solid Orange is your team.
This is the best crossfit gym in Nashville. Coach Ryan has built such a great community. All the coaches are wonderful. Whether you are are new to crossfit or a seasoned athlete, these coaches will work with you to make sure you are getting the most out of your training.
This “box” is pretty dope. Before being relocated I attended the 5am class. Everyone was extremely nice, patient, encouraging, all the things you would want in a new environment. The instructors took their time demonstrating the movements and always encouraged me to push forward. Not only did I feel confident in achieving my fitness goals, I was having a lot of fun doing it as well. I’d recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone.
If you are looking to start doing CrossFit for the first time ever CrossFit Solid Orange is the place. I signed up because I got a free session and never looked back I quickly became a regular going 6 days a week. Coach Ryan and his team or coaches are amazing and have a ton of patients for a newbie like me. The only reason I left was because I moved an hour away. I miss the place, the workouts, and more importantly the people. If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!!
Positive workout environment. Classes start on time. The facility is clean and the equipment is well maintained.Coaches are friendly and are willing to make modifications for ppl with injuries. The coaches do a good job at demonstrating movements and giving tips.Ive been a member for 6 months. Joining was a good decision.
Ryan is a wonderful coach who cares about the people and the craft.Since I joined this gym I have found community, competition, and consistency since moving to Nashville!I recommend coming by to experience a piece of what I have over the last year!
This is one of my favorite places. Great people friendly atmosphere. Knowledgeable coaches. If you want to get into the best shape of your life. Come and see us. Doesn’t matter your fitness experience. 14-90 they have what you need to get moving. And the sky is the limit. Highly recommend!!!
My first meeting with Coach Ryan, he made sure to find out what my goals were. I came to class nervous because i had never done crossfit before. The coaches were nice, encouraging and made sure to guide me and meet me where i was but also made sure to push me in order to get me better and stronger. It truly is a family atmosphere and everyone wants to see everyone else succeed. I have tried working out alone and several other gyms but i truly feel like this is the best place for me. If you want to work hard get better, whether you have never done this or have tons of experience I strongly recommend paying a visit to CFSO.
Highly recommended! I learned a lot of valuable skills at Solid Orange. Ryan and crew run a great technique centered and goal oriented program that pushed me while being supportive.
Great classes, I joined to get in shape for some military training. Every work out is different and fun so I never felt bored.
I went in with zero knowledge of CrossFit and thought I wouldn’t like it. But, this is an amazing and welcoming place. They’re affordable compared to other places and have flexible class timings. All the coaches are very experienced and are really invested in you. They push you to do better than what you think you can do. Trust me, you’ll not regret going to this place. It’s sooo much funnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have worked out at this box for just over a year now and I love it. I am by no means in the same shape I was 10 years ago, but I am still very competitive and love the level of group and personal focus I get from Ryan and all of the coaching staff. The culture and environment is productive and well balanced for all levels of personal fitness. Not everyone is made to compete at a high level, but this Gym / box caters to all levels of personal fitness motivation.
I love this place! I came in as a complete beginner and was very nervous at first seeing all the extremely fit people there but I have never been made to feel more welcome in my life. I have had a chance to work with all the coaches and they are all amazing and work with you. Whether you are a beginner who needs more instruction and time or advanced this place caters to both.
I absolutely love the atmosphere of this place! It’s not just a gym, it’s a family! Everyone is there for their own success but also to cheer you on and make sure you succeed as well. The coaches are amazing 😉 and always encourage you to do more then you think you can do.
Its been almost two years since Ive joined the CrossFit and the experience has been phenomenal. In terms of the exercises, the diet plan, quarterly measurements everything is personally taken care by coach Ryan . .
I dropped in at this box for a week and they were awesome. Everyone was very friendly (even at 5am) and the coaches were also uplifting and pushed you! The workouts are suuuuperr challenging, but theyre great at making sure theres a scale for everyone at any fitness level. I highly recommend working out here, I only wish I could stay in Nashville longer.
At 52 I believe that I am the oldest regular member of this gym. I started coming because my body was falling apart after years of sedentary jobs. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but the payoff is more than worth it.The members here are all very supportive and the coaches give enough personal attention to make scaling the workouts to my specific needs easy without letting me coast.I love that all I have to do is show up willing to work hard, all the planning and thought is done.I didnt give the gym a 5 because I am a teacher and I always want to leave room for improvement : )
I started working out here in December and it has been a great experience. The coaches taught me everything I needed to know to successfully participate in the workouts. It is a friendly, but demanding environment that has pushed me to keep getting stronger.
I joined CrossFit solid Orange after 15 months of being inactive due to a car accident. I had heard about Solid Orange from a friend so i checked it out. Now, Im hooked. Coach Ryan is amazing. Hes encouraging and pushes me past what I think Im capable of. I love the team atmosphere that all of my workout buddies bring. Theyre all cheering you on when you need it most. It also appeals to my competitive nature. I love seeing the improvements in my fitness level. Still a ways to go personally, but I hope to continue to see where CrossFit Solid Orange takes me. CrossFit has really helped my issues from my accident as well. I feel fit for whatever life may throw.
My sanity!!! I found this place when I needed it the most. Coaches are wonderful and always encouraging. I’ve been at this gym almost 2 years now and look forward EVERY time I get a chance to go... 3 to 4x/week. I’d highly encourage anyone no matter what level of fitness to give CFSO a try. The family atmosphere is truly awesome!
If you are a long time lurker of crossfit, as I was, this is the gym for you! Small box, with very knowledgeable coaches, who will train you how to properly complete each lift, and a family like group to help push you through it all. Best decision Ive made in my fitness life, and you should definitely do the same!
I have been going to this gym for a little over four months and cannot be happier with my experience. I had never imagined enjoying CrossFit as much as I do. The people are incredible, everyone is so encouraging, and the results speak for themselves. It’s a great community to achieve your personal goals and options for all kinds of workouts. I would recommend it to anyone.
I have had a great experience at CrossFit Solid Orange. It is the second box I’ve been part of in the Nashville and it far exceeds the other. Coach Ryan is great. He is super encouraging and knowledgeable. And the community he has build is extreamly welcoming. I highly recommend CrossFit Solid Orange.
I started my Crossfit journey here 2 weeks ago and it was one of the best decisions Ive made. Coach Ryan pushes you each day to be better than you were the day before. I definitely recommend this gym! The team environment there makes you feel right at home.
Great CrossFit gym for everyone from beginners to advanced. Everyone is very welcoming and Coach Ryan is great at providing instruction and guidance as necessary. Prices are very reasonable, you can attend as many classes per week as you want, and the times are convenient for just about anyone. Highly recommend.
Coach is always early getting to the gym and the WOD is never the same!Great place to workout!
Love this place. Friendly people. Great coaching. Coach Ryan knows his stuff and very good at explaining and answering any questions about anything. Coach TJ also very knowledgeable. Highly recommend joining the family.
I cannot say enough good things about CrossFit Solid Orange. I was completely new to CrossFit but I wanted to join in the hopes that the class atmosphere would hold me accountable to exercising regularly. I felt very welcome on day one and every day since then. The coaches are great - they treat everyone equally, no matter your skill level or how long you have been attending. For someone who used to dread working out, I now look forward to classes. Bottom line: if you want an excellent workout with a community feeling, CFSO is the place for you.
In my prior experience of workout facilities in the Antioch area Coach Ryan and the Crossfit Solid Orange facility is hands down the most efficient and effective place for training and fitness that I’ve had the pleasure of attending. Everyone is family friendly and encouraging. Coach Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and understanding when it comes to helping with individual(s) and their goals. If you haven’t tried them you’re missing out!!!!!
This gym has provided me with an incredibly eye opening experience as to what my body can do if I treat it right. What started with an 8 week challenge has turned into a love for Crossfit and exercise, a healthier lifestyle, and a physical and mental transformation overall.I would recommend this place to any person I met! Love it here!
Amazing gym and awesome coach! Forget about all those crappy gyms that don’t care about you and give you free pizza and bagels once a month(planet fitness). Coaches here care about you and really treat you like family. You will see results and meet amazing people too. All workouts are challenging for all levels (beginner, intermediate, and pro). Coach will take his time to explain everything and will push you beyond your limits!!!! For your own good!!Just remember to always listen to coach, because the wod might be harder than you think!Summary:This place is awesome!!!! Don’t think about it just do it!!! You can do more than you think you can!!!!! Please stop going to &@&!@ gyms and start going orange!!
I started doing CrossFit after a couple of years of my roommate suggesting it, and I picked CrossFit Solid Orange simply because it was the least expensive local option. It also turned out to be a great option.Coach Ryan is very passionate and knowledgeable about fitness, which you see during every class. Classes are filled with people at various levels of physical abilities, and hes able to both challenge all of us appropriately with tiered programs and give individual critiques when necessary.Whether youre already in good shape and wanting to keep it or just thinking about giving something a shot, contact Ryan and give it a shot.
Dropped in two days in row over the holiday and had a blast at this place. If you havent tried CrossFit before, this is a great place to start no matter your age, weight, or ability. I absolutely loved working out there -- the staff and the facilities both are excellent! I would definitely recommend CrossFit Solid Orange -- both seasoned pros and beginners alike.
Crossfit Solid Orange is a great place to work out. Everyone here is welcoming, Coach Ryan is helpful, and the price is very reasonable. In my classes, there were people who had worked out for years and people who were just getting started. Since every workout can be scaled, everyone walks out feeling like they were challenged and did their best. Definitely worth a visit.
I dont know what my life was before I found CrossFit Solid Orange! My old work out routine was just to go walk on a boring old treadmill. This led to little to no results, and it was incredibly difficult to stay consistent, because its BORING!!I LOVE CrossFit Solid Orange and especially Coach Ryan! He programs a new routine everyday, so its always new and challenging! I am constantly pushing and testing myself to see how strong I am becoming! I have seen more results in the few short months that I have been doing CrossFit than I ever did on a dumb old treadmill!!Coach Ryan is the epitome of a personal trainer, in that he is CONSTANTLY encouraging you and making sure that everything you are doing is safe and effective. He never lets me talk down about myself and he HATES the words I cant. Not allowed in his gym!If you have been looking for something new, where you will actually see results, and make some really great friends in the process, then CrossFit Solid Orange is definitely the place for you!As far as the few negative reviews, you know, not everybody clicks. And thats fine! I am glad you were all able to find a place where you felt at home.My home gym is CrossFit Solid Orange!
This gym makes me wish I lived in Nashville. If I were a local, it would definitely be my gym of choice. Ive dropped in for a WOD a few times over the last few months and Ive been impressed every time. Coach Ryan is encouraging and engaging. You can tell he cares about the members. The workouts are spot on. Cant wait for my next trip to Nashville to drop in again!
I dropped in from out of town last week and I had a great experience! Coach Ryan was a great instructor and motivator. I Would highly recommend this box to anyone that is in town for a few days and looking to drop in! I will for sure be back the next time I am in Nashville!
I started CrossFit at Solid Orange about 7 months ago. I was hesitant to start, but I’m so glad I did. Coach Ryan will knows how to make the work out something you can do, no matter your fitness level. The gym is small, and has a family atmosphere. I love it!
I have been working out at CFSO for little over a year and I absolutely love it. Great coaching staff, friendly and welcoming environment, and a great place to push yourself. Highly recommend that if you are looking for a box to join, that you come join CFSO!
Great gym! The workouts were challenging for all levels, whether you are a beginner or experienced at Crossfit. Coach Ryan spent time helping me perfect my form and taught me some great new stretches as well. If youre in Nashville dont miss the opportunity to stop in for a great workout challenge!
I am a member at this gym and based on my experience i absolutely love it. I have been working out for 3 months now and I have seen lots of results, its always fun to be there . Coach Ryan is the best, he is very professional and will make sure you are doing everything correct and safely.. he is also very motivating and encouraging, all the other members are very friendly and is always fun to workout with them, and not only have I seen results but I have also made new friends. Love this gym and definitely I recommend it !! Thanks Coach Ryan for all your support!
If you are interested in CrossFit but you may be intimidated walking into a large gym, you should definitely check out Solid Orange. The smaller classes allow for much more individual instruction from Coach Ryan and Coach TJ. I love the atmosphere at Cfso as well. There are people from all walks of life coming together to get better. We all push each other when we struggle and we all celebrate when someone hits a PR. Strongly recommend to any level of fitness.
Ive been a member of Crossfit Solid Orange for almost a year now, and I can confidently say that it has done nothing but improve my life. Ive seen gains in my strength, endurance, and especially in friendship. While Crossfit Solid Orange is a tight knit group, everyone is very inclusive, and watching this little family grow has been such a joy. Coach Ryan is personally invested in the betterment of all of his members. I walk away every night happier and more energetic than when I entered. If that alone isnt reason enough to give it a try, I dont know what is!
CrossFit Solid Orange truly, sincerely cares for my health and well-being. Coach Ryan always checks on me to make sure I don’t fall off! Everyone who attends are encouraging and will push me into doing things I’ve never imagined I could do! Within 5 months of joining I’m already starting to get “gunz” !! Lol!!!
I came to CFSO after taking a year off from CrossFit. As I walked in on day 1 I had flashbacks to my first class in my previous Box. Same nervous jitters. Coach Ryan made me feel right at home. The other members are all exactly the type of people you want to have around you during an intense MetCon. They create a sense of competitiveness without actually being competitive. It doesnt matter how strong or fast you are. The community at CrossFit Solid Orange will welcome you with open arms. So thats that. The warm up is over. 3, 2, 1 GO! (youll understand after your first class)
Love this place! If my work schedule wasnt so crazy I would have loved to continue. Maybe in the future!
This is my third box in three years and I feel as if I’ve found my next home. if you’re looking for a good box to scratch that CrossFit itch then this is the place. It’s small which some might consider to be its downfall but I consider that to be CFSO’s greatest strength. Personalized attention, the ability to learn everyone’s name, and a focus on technique are the things that stand out most in the small Box environment. Be forewarned: if you aren’t willing to try, or have trouble being coached, this is not the box for you. Wear your humble pants and your try-real-hard sweat bands cause you’re gonna need them.
I started going to CFSO about 7 or 8 months ago, I had always wanted to try out crossfit but I never wanted to pay the price other gyms charge. I did the free started class and Coach Ryan was very helpful and made you feel right at home. After doing that class I decide to join the gym and I havent looked back! The gym has really formed a good family atmosphere. Everyone is welcomed with open arms! No matter the skill level!
Great people and knowledgeable trainers! I love the atmosphere and will be coming back again!
Crossfit Solid Orange is a great place to work out, Coach Ryan is really amazing, friendly atmosphere, cant believe I lost 17 lb already (even with me cheating my diet) this is a place to be, thanks coach for helping me get my confidence back
This is a great box for beginners! I had never done crossfit before and was very intimidated but coach Ryan is awesome and worked with me to make sure I learned proper form and was able to get a great workout safely! Every day is different, challenging and fun!
Great coaching and friendly atmosphere. Its not intimidating and you can learn the workouts quickly and have fun doing it!
This place is fantastic, truly a great place for everybody and anybody!
I have been inconsistent with Crossfit for about 3 years now. I went from gym to gym trying to find the right box and when I stepped into Crossfit Solid Orange, I felt right at home. The way this group comes together as a family and helps everyone achieve what they want is absolutely amazing. Ive been consistent now for the past year and I owe it to this amazing fit family! Coach Ryan and Tjay are some of the best motivators and coaches I could ask for.
Crossfit Solid Orange and Coach Ryan welcomed me like family and helped me set a PR on Open 18.4 while on the road.
I always feel like Im among friends when I workout. Great positive energy and nonjudgmental environment we are all there trying to better ourselves!
I joined Crossfit Solid Orange as a 6 week “best self” challenge. This is the first time I had done crossfit. I’d been interested before, but never really had the motivation to get in and do it. Coach Ryan makes it easy to learn and understand the movements. He keeps the box fun and upbeat; while also making sure everyone is doing all that they can to better themselves. Coach Ryan and Crossfit Solid Orange are both fantastic, and if I had to go through and pick a crossfit box to workout at I’d pick Crossfit Solid Orange every time.
As a small business owner, you should definitely be on top of keeping your scheduled appointments instead of blaming ur lateness one your family in Mississippi!! Only wanted a workout not hear about your in laws!!! Completely unprofessional!! We had a scheduled appointment and you came late which I understood but then ur not excuses and snotty attitude made us leave!! Happy New Year to you and get u an appointment book if u keep doin customers like you did me, u may not be around long
They are amazing and work with people.
