Love CrossFit VU so much. This is a fantastic gym!! The trainers are super nice and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at. I have become friends with many of the members. Everybody is so supportive and friendly. The workouts are fun and are led by personal trainers who give hands on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement. The music is blaring and the atmosphere is awesome. I highly recommend it!!!
CrossFit VU is hands down the best gym in Pensacola! The coaches are well trained, maintain continued education in the field, and know how to personalize each workout to every client! The community at VU is hard to beat! There is a genuine camaraderie among the athletes at this gym! Encouragement, goal oriented workout programming, and a gym who truly cares for each person is the foundation at CrossFit VU!
This is one of the best gyms I know of, the community is wonderful and really cares. They really make it easy to take control of your health and feel better in your daily life, whatever your goals. All you have to do is show up!
I completed several private training lessons with coach Joseph while in the area during my short-term stay in Florida. He was an exceptional coach. Very professional--always communicative, on-time, focused during sessions, and picked challenging but enjoyable workouts. Having hired quite a few private coaches, my experience has been theyre not always as professional as they should be. Joseph was, every time. In addition, the gym was spacious and well-cleaned--good for health and safety during these times--and the equipment was well-maintained. I highly recommend Joseph as a coach. And, moreover, I highly recommend the gym. Aside from the great facility, the vibe always felt relaxed, and people I met were always nice.
To say that CrossFit VU changed my life would be an understatement. I felt like I was a part of something special from the first day I walked in there. I still feel like I get as much attention from coaches now as I do when the first day I walked in door. I guarantee that the CrossFit community feeling that they have built is 2nd to none. Whether you are a seasoned CrossFit vet or someone just looking to try it out for the first time, VU is the place for you.
10/10 recommend to anyone who is welling to put the work in.
CrossFit VU is like my second home! The staff is so friendly and they take the time to actually go over the workout movements with you. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been in the CrossFit community for 1 day or 6 years, you will be pushed to do your best in your workouts. The staff wants you to succeed and wants you to do well. They listen if you have an injury and seem to know any variation possible. If the music isn’t your favorite just ask for a new song, I guarantee they will find something you like! You need help moving across town, or want to grab breakfast after Saturday WOD you got it! The friends you make here turn into family. The only reason why I am leaving this gym is because I am moving out of town, and let me tell you I am SAD! I honestly don’t know how another gym will compare. VU thank you for everything, and if you’re new and want to try Crossfit DO IT! Sign up on day one and don’t look back! I promise you will not regret this!
Started here right after the pandemic as a means to get in shape for the season. Immediately noticed how engaged the coaches were, specifically the GM of the gym. Everything felt very personal with respect to my own personal fitness goals. Every workout was evaulated based on experience and performance to keep the athletes well being in mind. As time progressed, I found myself falling in love with the sport that is crossfit and its competitive nature. I kept wanting to get better and with the assistance and close instruction from the coaches, I made huge progress. (Started with not being able to KIP to stringing 6+ bar muscle ups) After one year I have to say the family atmosphere, competitive nature, and the skills/coaching are unbelievable. One thing I also noticed is the care for the athletes. I was injured in a game one weekend and the GM took it upon himself to help me recover and repair my back. The gym has many chiropractors and kinesiology experts that helped me rehab and get back into the gym. I was back playing soccer in 2 weeks. I cant stress enough that this gym will change your life and youll realize that if fitness is a goal for you, theres nothing better. If your hesitant about pursuing your fitness goals for whatever reason, this gym will do everything in its power to get you there. 10/10.
I am relocating from New England, I found Crossfit VU through the mainsite and went to their web page.When I showed up I was very surprised and excited because I have never seen so many people at a 0500 class!!!!! The 0600 class that I attended was very well Coached and I had a blast.Pros: CLEAN, great Coaching, easy to find, wide variety of equipment, not over priced, I saw a dog!!!!!!!Cons: I got sweat in my eyes because I forgot my hat.... I dunno thats about it.GO CRUSH A WORKOUT THERE!!!!
CrossFit VU is an amazing box! The coaches are very knowledgeable and committed to making sure every workout improves your form, stamina, and strength. You’ll feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. I dropped in for a month and Lex was very accommodating on a month long membership. I travel the country for work visiting boxes everywhere I go and I can honestly say this is one of the best I have visited. Plus if you appreciate a clean, organized gym you’ll dig this place.
CrossFitVU is hands down the best box in the area!!As a working college student, it can be hard to not only find the time but motivation as well to workout, but after experiencing my first class at VU, it easily became my favorite part of the day!Every coach is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and caring of every single person that walks through their doors regardless of their experience level. You will not only be gaining physical gains, but a family of incredible individuals as well.Give it a try and you won’t regret it!!
CFVU is the real deal. Great leadership, coaches who care and the best place to get a workout, relieve stress, get stronger, and join a great community. Everyone supports one another in their fitness journey! I highly recommend.
The best CrossFit gym around. If you are looking for a CrossFit gym, you will not find better coaches or a better community.
As a Crossfit newbie, I was nervous about joining a box, but this was a great gym for a first-timer! The coaches spent the time to on-ramp me to the different movements, and always helped me find adjustments to exercises I couldnt do yet.The environment was welcoming, and inclusive of everyone regardless of age, gender, or where you are on your fitness journey.If you are thinking of starting Crossfit, this is the place to go!
Ive been traveling from Houston to Pensacola almost every week. I am so glad to find CrossFit VU! They were very accommodating to my travel schedule and provided me with a temporary membership option. The coaches are really fun and knowledgeable. The box is kept very clean and has plenty of parking spaces. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I had great workouts and met great people. I will be dropping by next time I am in Pensacola!
Great staff. Great communications! Clean gym. With Covid, it is necessary to participate at a gym that is serious about cleanliness. CrossFit VU is doing all they can to keep everyone healthy.I am 58 years old and trying to get back into shape. The staff quickly assessed my ability (lack thereof) and made sure that I did not hurt myself. While the class is a group, the coaches are active observers. It often seems there is individual attention. They are always watching to make sure that everyones workout is being performed in a safe manner.Thank you, Lex, Joe and the whole staff at CrossFit VU.
I have been a member of VU for a year and I can say my experience has been nothing but positive. My first Crossfit experience was at this gym and my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner. All of the coaches and members are so welcoming, they really make you feel like you are part of the family. The gym, owners, and coaches are truly amazing. I highly recommend this gym especially if you are new to Crossfit.
This is a terrific gym(box). No pressure, perfect for all levels of fitness. Friendly, knowledgeable, and perfectly equipped. I would challenge anyone interested to experience this gym for at least 30 days and determine for yourselves.
I was a member for 8 months and loved every minute of it! The community that has been created there is fantastic and welcoming to people of all skill levels. I highly encourage anyone in the area to check them out!
Run dont walk to CFVU. You will not regret your time in this gym.Lex and his team and welcoming and funny at the same time. They put an emphasis on training the correct way. Love this place!!!
The coaches are really knowledgeable and truly want to help you meet your goals.Im a little bit of an introvert, but I still recognize that this a great place to make friends that challenge each other! Been here a year. I hate typical gyms, so feeling like part of a team is better motivation. Even as a team you still have the option of going at a steady pace or digging in. They teach you what you need to know to keep safe and fit. Shout out to Coach Taylor for her consistent encouragement!
This gym and its coaches are truly incredible. I learned so much in my time at CrossFit VU that will enable to progress in my athleticism throughout my life. The coaches are friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. The members here are also friendly and inclusive. This gym is a must try if you are interested in CrossFit or getting more active in general!
Hands down one of the most technique driven gyms Ive ever been at. All the coaches do an excellent job teaching form and scale downs for members to progress into Rx movements and weights. I definitely saw progression in my over head movements and better mobility in my hips and upper back. The owners are AWESOME and are willing to work with anyone on any level and as in depth they want to take their workouts. 100% would recommend for newbies as form is very important to get correct before developing bad muscle memory. They also hold nutrition competitions and counseling for diet plans and life style changes. Great atmosphere to make a change and not feel like youre on your own. Body comp and fitness retests are also done to show improvement / changes every 6 months I think.Location and gym size: location is fine. Plenty of parking and marked running distances. Gym class sizes are no larger than 15 people so a decent size and still able to receive good feedback on movements. Price is fair and plenty of snacks and protein are available for sale. They also have one shower and two bathrooms if you want to change to or from work.Overall: great gym, great coaches and great place for newbies to advanced athletes to get after it!
Workouts are tough but fun. Staff is caring, ready to give you suggestions to help you get better and willing to come up with alternative exercises if needed. The people that work there and workout there are really friendly, make you feel like family, and are what kept me and my family coming back. I would recommend this gym to everyone.
Dropped in while traveling for work and had a great experience! Lex and the members were very welcoming and made me feel right at home from the get go. Check them out of you are in the area!
Coaches are friendly and personable, nice equipment and great people to workout with!
To save everyone the book length sappy heartfelt story of how CrossFit VU has changed my life, I’m going to TRY to make this short and sweet...The #1 reason I will NEVER leave this gym, the staff is incredible. You work very closely with the coaches, they are there every step of the way and they always have your best interests in mind. I am NEVER afraid to ask questions. [Mind you, I had never lifted weights in my life, so I have asked some pretty stupid questions...they WANT to teach us!!]The #1 reason I LOVE this gym, the atmosphere. There is NO negativity here. We learn. We support. We encourage. We push each other to do better. We get stronger. We become better TOGETHER. The members and staff are like family. We LOVE seeing each other succeed.The #1 reason I don’t mind paying for CrossFit. A lot of people tell me it’s expensive, and sure, when you compare it to planet fitness, it does cost more but..YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I have 1-2 coaches at EVERY class. The workouts are planned out in advance and for a reason. If you show up and try your hardest YOU GET RESULTS. YOU GET STRONGER. Also, the owners like to keep things fun and different everyday.**I am very happy I tried CrossFit VU, it has changed my life.**
My husband and I started with CrossFit VU while visiting Pensacola for a month, and now that Im back home in AZ and looking for a new box, I can honestly say that VU has set an extremely high standard. Everything about this place is fantastic. The workouts are each VERY structured.Every one of their coaches know what theyre doing! They are always there to help improve your form and motivate you through the workout. The atmosphere is also very friendly and welcoming (for singles and those with families!). I wish they were here in AZ!
This gym, the owners and the members are amazing. They make you feel like youre a part of a family. I went from 255 to 205 while a member and its thanks to the programs and advise given there. I wasnt always the most consistent due to a crazy schedule but I always felt at home at this gym. I hope to one day become a regular again. I would highly recommend becoming a member and seeing your life transformed as your body does. Lex and Fallon know what they are doing.
Great gym with owners and coaches who really care about your success.
Personal, welcoming, fun, and owned by a Marine family that provides a place for everyone, new and experienced. This is not a place that has the stereotypical CrossFit personality but they train you to perform like a physically-oriented one with attention to detail. Most places I’ve tried let you get hurt and provide little to no instruction, and just what your money. CFVU isn’t like that and provides so much more! You will be guided and perform WODs w/o any injury here. If you are looking to gain some socializing and making friends, this is the place for that too! So many proven results! I myself stuck with this place for 4 years and have been given personal coaching without even having to ask for it. CFVU is proactive with all your needs and will be that push you need to reach your fitness and health goals!
Awesome
When I moved to Pensacola late last year I Did a free trial at all the area CrossFit boxes. All the boxes were good however this box was special and felt most like home. Lex and Fallon have a created a wonderful space and environment of encouragement and camaraderie, paired with challenging programming and world class coaching. I suggest for anyone in the area temporarily or permanently to drop on in, you won’t regret it.
CrossFit VU is one of the most life changing, fitness-related experiences I have had. The owners are great role models for a healthy lifestyle; its inspirational. All of the coaches genuinely care about each and every member. They are also able to keep the workouts fun and interesting. The other members are just as wonderful. Youll gain an entire family by joining!
I have been interested in CrossFit for a few years but have always been a little intimidated to actually take the step to enter a gym and get started. After looking online at several area gyms, I made the choice to try CrossFit VU. The staff was very welcoming and I am really enjoying it! The coaches are super attentive and really show that they care about your health, fitness, and safety throughout the workouts. I am super pleased with the choice that I finally made and really looking forward to where my CrossFit journey is going to lead me!
I dropped into CrossFit VU while in town on business. The coaches and members were very welcoming and made it feel like my home gym for the 4 days I was in town. The workouts were great, easy to understand, yet, challenging. I will certainly be coming back here when I am back in Pensacola.
Lex and Fallon are amazing owners. The coaches are amazing and actually watch your form to make sure you do the workouts correctly so you don’t get hurt. Everyone makes you feel like family and the workouts can be scaled from beginner to advanced so no matter what shape you’re in this Crossfit can help you reach your goals!
I love this place! The coaches are amazing. Very knowledgeable. They can work with you at any level and get you moving to reach whatever goal you set for yourself. I certainly feel accomplished when I leave there. Great workouts!
Awesome gym. We dropped in for a few days on our vacation. The coaches were very helpful and the members were extremely welcoming. Will definitely come back when we vacation here again!
This box changed my life in the short amount of time I was there! The coaches are amazing and they truly care about you and your progression! The community is amazing and you feel comfortable the second you walk through the door! I would recommend them to anyone!
Newly joined over 3 months ago and absolutely love it. The coaches are awesome and work closely with you on training, techniques and offer great feedback for any skill level. I would never get a work out like this at a gym or on my own. Just try it!
Great box. The coaches really care about my progress and that I am doing each exercise correctly and safely. They answer any questions I have and make me feel like Im part of the cross fit family. MUCH BETTER THAN A REGULAR GYM.
Ive never been pushed harder, supported more by a group, or encouraged in such a way that helped me reach my goals. I lost 25lbs & 29.6% body fat in the 6 week challenge and I am in the best shape of my life! Cant wait to continue my journey to a healthier me!
If anyone is looking for a gym who will treat you like family (the kind you like) from the second you step in the door, cheer you on and encourage you while giving you the best most effective workout of your life, check out Crossfit VU. They give 3 free trial workouts, help you scale down or up to fit your level of fitness and are with you every step of the way and wont leave you hanging. Love this place. Ive finally found my gym home sweet home.
I spent the last week at this gym the first time I’ve ever done CrossFit and Lex and his coaches made me an addict an amazing facility and even better people.
I was only in Pensacola for a month but these guys made me feel like a regular right away. The entire VU team helped develop my skills and movements on all of the workouts. I am still fairly new to CrossFit and greatly appreciated the format of the entire 60 workout which focused on a proper warm up, skill development, then a solid sweat inducing workout. If your looking for a great gym to get in shape in a short period of time, this is your gym!
What a great box!?! Walking in was like visiting friends you hadnt seen in a while. Thanks Coach Joe!
What a great place!! Great coaches and staff!! The coaches push you to be a better version of yourself. ❤️❤️
Dropped in for a few days while on vacation, great atmosphere and hospitality. Loved that they had 2-3 coaches for each class so everyone was able to get the hands on coaching they needed. Definitely will be coming back! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Seriously the nicest staff and such a good atmosphere. The gym is so clean and family friendly! I loved it! I will be back!💕
Great gym. We stopped by and worked out while on vacation. Super friendly and knowledgable. Very welcoming. Thank you for your hospitality and great workout.
Are you tired of going to gyms where they yell at you for dropping weights, bring pizza to sidetrack your daily routine.. or even feel outright intimidated by all the gym bros?Then you need to step into Crossfit VU. You’ll immediately feel at home and welcome, no matter what your skill level may be. The owners and coaching staff always make you feel comfortable with yourself while still pushing you to that next level. The other gym members are great as well. Everyone is welcoming and it’s very apparent that this is more than a gym, this is a family atmosphere. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Had a great time dropping in here! The owners are super welcoming and are very knowledgeable coaches! Had such a great experience that we went back the next day. Awesome community at CFVU!
To say Lex and Fallon are good at what they do is a sweeping generality and an understatement. Theres a huge difference between being strictly professional and truly doing their jobs with intention every day, and thats what will set them miles ahead of the others. The energy in the gym is always happy, even on my worst day I always feel better for having shown up. Theyre truly invested in each members progress and care how were doing both inside the gym and out, and theres not enough to be said for that. Theyre just really good people as well as immensely qualified coaches; they run an A+ facility that Im proud to be a part of. Eternally thankful I found VU when I did.
Great coaching, attention paid to form and offered modifications to team members. Encouraging, fun, and of course a great workout. I will drop in again whenever I am in Pensacola.
Do you want to be the best you possible? Then you need to be in an environment fostered by the best. There is not a better coaching staff or gym atmosphere wherever you go. No matter what your fitness goals are this is the place to be.
Lex and Fallon are the type of owners that never stop trying to increase their knowledge and be better coaches than they were yesterday. That kind of motivation rubs off on every individual that walks through their doors and creates an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie. Their coaches genuinely care about their athletes and are keen to identify areas for improvement and provide the tools to achieve success. I never thought Id see such improvements in my strength and mobility, but CrossFit VU pushes my limits every single day. Come give it a shot, whether youre the seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey.
You wont find a better gym or trainers anywhere outside of CrossFit VU! I suffer from an illness that was attacking my muscle strength and energy, so I hired Lex Egea as a personal trainer. What an amazing difference he made in the 2 to 3 short days I could give him per week! My strength, endurance, flexibility, and muscle tone increased significantly. Not only is Lex incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, but he truly cares about you. He is totally invested in you from day 1 and goes above and beyond to help you improve, get to your personal goal, and obtain all of the knowledge you need to keep that level of fitness up on your own. I cant say enough great things about Lex, Fallon, Joe and the rest of the CrossFit VU team. The commitment and camaraderie youll find at CrossFit VU is truly unmatched!
Ive known Lex and Fallon since I began doing CrossFit and opening my own CrossFit gym and their coaching, advice and experience is unmatched. They are an absolutely amazing team and continue to pour every ounce of knowledge and passion for CrossFit into their clients. I have no doubt CrossFit VU is one of the best boxes in the southeast so go check them out!
I can honestly say this place has changed my life! The owners as well as the coaching staff are highly knowledgeable and motivating. Keep up the good work, ECFF crew!
Crossfit VU is amazing! I absolutely love their coaches! The members are very friendly and the gym is very nice (and super clean!).This is definitely the only gym Ill visit when Im in the Pensacola area :)
Lex and Fallon are EXCELLENT coaches. They are both very knowledgeable in every aspect of the gym. You cant go wrong if you have either one of them coaching you! I miss them everyday!
Awesome experience at VU. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, and you are always able to get individualized attention. The members are great and welcoming as well! I was part of the family from day one. Its also quite the motivator to have Lex, the owner and former Marine, set the bar (pun intended) and lead by example during every workout.
I have been going to this gym for almost 4 months now, and I absolutely LOVE IT! The new owners/coaches Lex and Fallon are very skilled and experienced, and you definitely get your moneys worth at CrossFit VU. It doesnt matter what fitness level you are at, all of the coaches have so much positive energy and are committed to teaching you safety and proper form, and they really will do everything they can to help you meet your goals!P.S. This gym truly has the friendliest members that will make anyone feel welcome. Every member will cheer each other on until everyone is done with the workouts. They motivate me and encourage me through every workout!
Great Gym, Great Coaches. The facility is very clean and has great equipment. The coaches are all very knowledgeabe and they do a great job of making everyone feel comfortable regardless of their fitness level or experience. I would reccomend this gym to people of any skill level.
The people and coaches here are great. Wonderful atmosphere with knowledgeable coaches.
I cant give enough praise to this gym. Lex, Fallon, Kyle, Taylor, and Joe treat every member like they are part of the family. I remember the first day I joined, Lex called me personally to welcome me. The programming is fantastic, and the atmosphere is so supportive no matter your level of fitness. These values are reflected in each member as they treat you like a member of the family. I was in the area for only ten weeks, and the people at this gym made me feel like an old friend who was there for years. The culture here will not only make you a better athlete, but will bring out the best in yourself. If you havent made up your mind on which gym to call home, look no further than CrossFit Vu.
I started at crossfit VU a few months ago for a boot camp for women only. We did an 8 week class and from beginning to end was amazing. It became like a family. I have since started going regularly and absolutely love it. The coaches are amazing and extremely helpful. Anyone can do it and there is always something to build on at any level. You push yourself to be better and when you see the results you know the coaches are doing their job! I encourage anyone that is interested to try the free class and I would bet that you will come back. Its a family that encourages you and coaches that push you to be better. Im going to miss being at this box but my time on pensacola has come to an end.
CrossFit VU is great! I have been doing crossfit here for a year and a half now and wouldnt consider going elsewhere. The coaches are very knowledgeable and are focused on form and safety. They are always looking to help you improve and making sure you are getting the most from your workout. The members are very supportive and motivate each other. If you are thinking of trying out crossfit, this is a great place to go!
This is the place to go in Pensacola. Lex is a great guy and knows how to motivate you to your full potential. Drawing from his years of experience and plethora of knowledge, they are the best in helping you to obtain your fitness goals.
Ive only been going to VU for a short time but I LOVE IT! The staff and members are friendly and will help you. I knew nothing about crossfit and was scared but honestly all the mistakes I have been making in class makes me want to keep on trying. I never felt more determined in any other workout environment than at the VU.P.S. dont worry about your size or age everyone here is different .. so dont think you have to be buff or in shape :) everyone is working on something they want to improve on.Thank you VU, I cant wait to continue my journey with you!
I worked with Coach Lex years ago in the Marine Corps. He always set an example with his personal fitness and was willing to help others get in better shape, so its no surprise that he went on to become a CrossFit trainer. Coaching is just part of his personality.
I’m so pleased to have found this terrific place!
I know both Lex and Fallon personally. Theyre excellent coaches, friendly, and driven to deliver a positive workout experience to their athletes. These two know how to hustle! Great Gym with Great people. Go check it out.
Awesome facility and equipment! Even better coaches that can accommodate everyone from the beginner crossfitter to the elite competitor. CrossFit VU is more than a gym, its a family
Ive known Lex for some years now and I have to say he is the most culminated, respectful and dedicated coach that I have come in communion with in my many years of CrossFit. CrossFit VU is a welcoming facility with an immense community. Coach Lex, in particular, is a well organized and hygienic individual who also brings enthusiasm and positivity each day to the gym. I highly recommend if you are in the Pensacola area to stop by this gym and see what its like to instantly be part of the VU family.
CrossFit VU Rocks!I interviewed several gyms in the Pensacola area to be my new CrossFit home. The moment I walked into CrossFit VU and met Owner/Coach Fallon Rudisill, it felt right. And CrossFit VU has delivered!The superior quality of Owners, Coaches and Members make for an experience of excellence. Every member, in every session, receives coaching. Workouts are scaled to your own ability, therefore continuously pushing your own limits safely and maximizing development. I belonged to many gyms over the past 20 years and none delivered the quality personal attention that CrossFit VU does. And they are fun!Don’t be afraid of the monthly membership, as the value is tremendous.I have spent 2 to 3 times as much on personal training and gym memberships. Yet the quality of training never came close to CrossFit VU’s attention and excellent coaching!CrossFit VU has also motivated me to do the unthinkable - get up at 5AM for a 6AM Class! These guys get 5 Stars from me! Join today, you will love it. No regrets!
I am in love with this place!!!! Ive been a member for a month now and already feel changes in my body and daily life. I really didnt think I could do most of these workouts... Well, I thought WRONG!! I am so glad I stepped out of my confront zone and joined crossfitvu!! The motivation and team work here has truly been amazing! Couldnt imagine a day without an amazing workout! all of the coaches are super knowledgeable and they take their time to listen and give the best advice needed. I am really looking forward to growing with crossfitvu!! If there is any cross fit place t start, THIS IS IT!
AMAZING and GENUINE owners, knowledgeable and talented coaches, and a clean facility/box with top of the line equipment! Definitely the place you want to go to, whether youre a drop in (like me) or live in Pensacola!
Me and my sister have been going to VU for a few months now and we couldnt love it more. The owners, coaches, and all of the other members have been there every step of the way constantly pushing us to new prs, motivating us, and making us a part of their fitfam!To give an example on how easy it is to feel comfortable there the very first class we went to we were going over movements with pvc pipes and I managed to pull mine straight into my face........ No one laughed or yelled at me for messing up. One of the coaches simply assured me it happens to everyone and we all moved on.Also when jumping into crossfit I was worried about not keeping up with everyone who had been doing it for years but the coaches help us scale to our capabilities and everyone motivated eachother to get through the workouts.Overall Id say VU has been life-changing. I have fallen in love with the people, the atmosphere, and the entire experience.Stronger together
Hands down in LOVE with this gym! Ive been to a few other gyms in the area but I have to say that Crossfit VU is the place I call home. You cant beat having amazing coaches who are knowledgable, motivating, fun, and family oriented. I wake up in the morning WANTING to come to the gym. Love this place!
Great gym and great place. Lex and Fallon are very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend CrossFit VU to anyone stopping through Pensacola or looking to start CrossFit
Just an absolute top notch CF gym run by an awesome dude and his fiance - Lex and Fallon! Coaching staff is amazing - the members are amazing! Thank you for everything and looking forward to coming back in the future. #homeawayfromhome
Crossfit VU took me and my wife in for a couple months before we had to leave for a new duty station. Although it was sad to go, the coaching and staff are excellent! They really go above and beyond as far as coaching and motivation during workouts. I would highly recommend this gym for all levels of experience. Lex, Fallon, and Kyle will get you on the right path to success!
Okay so first of all I’m a straightforward person but I literally have not a single complaint about this place. The coaches Fallon, Lex, Kyle and Taylor are not just great coaches who are extremely professional and knowledgeable but they are absolutely amazing people all around who are willing to help their gym family and the community in any way they can. They are people who truly practice what they preach. The gym is hard charging. Every workout makes you feel the burn and leaves you feeling challenged but accomplished. And there are awesome people alongside you to encourage you. The gym family at Crossfit VU is amazing. The only reason I left this gym is because I moved out of the area. I’m going to miss them all! I think one of the best things about Crossfit VU is their emphasis on correct form and the fact that the programming/WOD is never boring or stagnant. There’s always a new spin put on things but in no way do they allow fundamentals to slip or waiver. I can’t wait to go back for a drop in. I highly reccomend this place. Don’t believe me? Just go see for yourself.
Awesome box! Crossfit VU has a great atmosphere, friendly community, and challenging, but fun programming. The coaches are intense, have great advice and hold all athletes to the standards that ensure safe and effective WODs. Trust me, as a guy who travels all around Florida and drops into a lot of boxes; whether youre just passing through or live in the area... do yourself a favor and check them out!
Probably the best facilities and friendliest fitness community in Pensacola. Coaches are dedicated and encouraging. This is the standard Ill compare all of other Crossfit gyms to. Well done Crossfit VU!
For those who are afraid to try Crossfit, or think its going to be too hard--this is the place for you. Lex and Fallon have amazing programming that can be scaled for all fitness levels. This gym is definitely a family. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. Big emphasis on form, mobility and nutrition. At VU, you arent a number--youre part of the family.
My first attempt at crossfit and where as normally I dont get things right the first time, there is no doubt in my mind this is the right gym for me!!! The coaches are so supportive and upbeat, the music is always on point, this gym has found a magical way to make working out actually fun! Like most people I HATE leg day, I have came to the conclusion here, every day is leg day and you dont even realize it!! Everyday is abb day cause you are constantly laughing. When you are feeling out of fuel the coaches will give you life, if you are not doing something they notice it fast and correct you, these guys are amazing at their jobs! If I could give this place 100* I would in a heartbeat! If the thought has ever crossed your mind about crossfit, please give this place a shot, you will probably be hooked by the end of day 1!
Ive been at CFVU for little over a year and now I have to say goodbye to it due to being moved to my next station in the Navy. Although its a gym, this will be one of my hardest goodbyes because of the coaches and the people there. When you join VU, youll be making a great choice in a gym but youll also gain a family that will take you from the very bottom and help you rise to the top. The coaches there provide the best coaching Ive come across at a CrossFit gym and are also more than willing to help you excel by providing one on one personal training.Lex and Fallon have created a wonderful gym and everyday they are striving to make their members better emotionally and physically, truly living up to their motto...Validus Una, Stronger Together.
What a great atmosphere! A must DROP IN box if ever in town. #allthelove
Crossfit VU is a great place that will help you meet your personal goals! Whether you are new to Crossfit or a veteran, the coaching is excellent!
So, let me explain why CFVU gets a 5 star rating from me, because yall know I dont just give them out...This was my first experience with CrossFit as well as my first official box. I LOVED IT. The owners, Fallon and Lex are the nicest and most awesome business owners {AND coaches} that I think any athlete could ever ask for. The gym is kept very clean (I have visited many boxes, and know that cleanliness can definitely be an issue), but not here. Also, the coaches go above and beyond to make sure that you feel at home - theres never really that awkward moment when people dont know who others are, so its intimidating. CFVU makes sure to make everyone feel welcome, no matter their level of fitness or familiarity with CrossFit.They also make sure that they check up on you if they havent seen you in a while - they personally take time out of their day(s) to follow up with you and make sure everything is okay. You cant beat that. They also offer a sweet Yelp deal for checking in, and they offer military and first responder discounted monthly rates as well!The only CON I have about this box is the open gym times - since they are very closely knit with the owners and coaches, they cannot run open gym as often as Im sure they would like (as well as you as a potential athlete here, would like). However, that is something I came to live with here, and Im sure if they decide to add more staff and coaches later on, that the open gym times may increase. Not really make or break, at least not for me!I LOVE this gym, and I was super bummed to leave, but I had to move out of state. An amazing box, and super beginner friendly :)
CrossFit VU is an awesome box! If you are in town make sure you drop in! Lex and Fallon are very welcoming and great coaches. While visiting Pensacola we dropped in twice and had awesome workouts both times as well as Lex taking extra time after class to help us with some skill work. We felt just like we were a part of their CF community! Bam! 👊🏻💥💪🏻🏋🏻
After moving back to MI iv been to 4 different boxes and still fail to find one to that compares to VU. Lex and Falion are amazing at what they do. You will be hard pressed to find professional grade programing like theirs i lost weight and got way stronger than i ever thought possible. My entire outlook on diet and traing has change because of VU and iv never felt better. Truly a life changing experience being a member i could write pages on this place but ill leave it at that.Miss u guys
Lex, Fallon and the rest of the coaching staff are great. Whenever Im in Pensacola I love dropping in!!!!
I really have enjoyed my time at Crossfit VU because the coaches really stress the importance of proper technique. My biggest fear of coming in to crossfit was that I would get hurt or that the workouts would be too tough for me. But, the coaches are awesome in that they modify everything to your level and give you goals to work up to. And they watch your technique like a hawk, correcting when they need to. Needless to say, I feel very comfortable and safe at Crossfit VU!
Lex and Fallon and great people and coaches. Go to VU for a great workout and even better time!
I was hesitant to start a CrossFit program for fear of injury that is so commonly associated with the workouts. I tried CrossFit VU and the coaches there spent quality time showing me how to stretch and mobilize so I could do exercises with proper form, in order to avoid injury. Lex and Fallon really focus on exercising properly - not just moving big weight.I have really enjoyed seeing the results and how they reflect in my everyday life - even old injuries I use to nurse from running have disappeared. Lex and Fallon and the CrossFitVU family are the best!
