If youre looking for serious fitness, this place is it. I am in my 40s and came here to get in really good shape. The trainers here are all professionals, friendly and know what theyre doing. They place an emphasis on safety and form, with the goal of total fitness. They will take you from beginner to advanced using a pace that is your own. I had a great time during my time there, met some great people and got in better shape than I have been in since my early twenties.Highly recommend this gym!

I was only able to work out here for a couple months due to an unexpected move but my time was well spent. As someone new to CrossFit I appreciated the relaxed and friendly culture here and the time spent working with me to help me learn and perfect the various movements. The owner and coaches were all excellent folks. Thanks Gil!

Great facility and the owner is very knowledgeable and personable; he will help guide you through the workout/movements if you are unfamiliar. The workouts are tailored to allow people of every level of fitness complete them while maintaining high intensity with good technique. You will get stronger and improve your overall fitness if you just simply come and do the workouts.

Razors Edge is a close knit fitness family. The facility isnt monstrous, and the equipment isnt all brand spankin new; however, Razors has great staff of coaches who really care about what they do, as well as a very friendly overall community. I have trained here for over a year, and during that time I have made many good friends and had a number of great/hilarious experiences.If you want to get a great workout, polish up your Olympic lifting techniques(or learn how), or just get fit with a great group of people, look no further.

This gym is the place to be if you want a personalized experience from a coach who is dedicated to his clients, crossfit, and weightlifting. Coach Gil Petruska is extremely knowledgeable about crossfit and weightlifting and helps many of our militarys active duty enlisted and officers stay prepared for the rigorous demands of their jobs. Coach Gil is a local Pensacolan, a retired Army Veteran, and an actively competing masters level weightlifter, who is happy to help anyone of any age or fitness level reach their fitness goals. At Razors Edge Fitness you will be greeted with a smile, be known by name, and youll feel at home from your first visit.Excellent group and customized private instruction available, all for a very reasonable price. Definitely go by and check out this gem of a gym just minutes from the hub of downtown Pensacola.

This is a great box!! I dropped in from out of town and the coach/owner was very knowledgeable. He made some good suggestions on the set up for my snatch. It was a great experience.

My husband and I dropped in from Missouri, and the place was easy to find. We were greeted by the owner who was kind and informative. Very laid back feel and knowledgeable coach watching over you. We were able to work at our own pace and utilize the platforms. Nice bars and plates. Good atmosphere for lifting. Wods were short and sweet but boy do you work up a sweat in this heat! We returned the next day because we had such a nice time. A must for any visiting CrossFitter/Lifter in the area.

Great facility, awesome atmosphere, and amazing coaches! I practically lived there when I was in Pensacola and I still keep in touch with coaches and a few of my brothers in misery. If youre looking for a box while youre in town, or you want to get into Crossfit/Olympic Lifting, Razors Edge should be your first stop.

A badass gym in the heart of downtown Pensacola. Come to push yourself and crush PRs. Whether youre brand new to the crossfit or Olympic weightlifting scene or an athlete with years of competition experience, the owner/coach will tailor anything and everything to your skill level to maximize your growth and improvement. All the equipment you could need in a great environment of like minded people coming together to get better. Come ready to set PRs, leave covered in sweat and struggling to walk.

From my first WOD over 2 years ago, Razors has been my second home. I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in two bulging discs in my lower back as well as sciatica from too much compression. My previous chiropractor told me that I would most likely live with the pain for the rest of my life. I refused to take that as an answer. My brother, who is a member at REF, suggested weight training to strengthen my lower back muscles. CrossFits methodology has improved my back pain incredibly. REFs trainers were understanding and were able to adjust my workouts to accommodate my limits and needs. I couldnt be any more thankful for Razors. This box has trained many excellent athletes from the ground up. No matter your skill level, Gil is able to work with you to meet any desired fitness goals. REF offers healthy competition, great equipment, flexible scheduling, a community atmosphere, and RESULTS. Join us for a WOD anytime. Wed love to have you.

Review №25

Stopped in for a session while visiting family in Pensacola. Overall, I liked Razors Edge a lot. The coach on premises, Gil, was very helpful and approachable.Razors Edge seems to take more of a hand-off approach to CrossFit than I am used to, which threw me off at first. The WOD and warm-up are posted, of course, but there was no single start time for everyone, which is how things are done at the boxes I normally visit. Rather than being a class atmosphere, it was more of an open gym.That said, I really liked the focus on lifting I found here. There was a dedicated lifting sequence everyone had to get done before the WOD, and this looked to be the case for previous days, too. This is good, because many boxes Ive visited dont focus on proper technique, periodization, or scaling lifts by percentage of 1 RM. If this is business as usual at Razors Edge, they probably have much lower injury rates and more success stories than some other boxes. Bravo!Id definitely visit Razors Edge again, and even consider a membership if I lived in Pensacola full time.

While looking for a place to continue crossfit and improve my Olympic lifting technique, I researched and shopped around pensacola. Razors edge fitness greeted me not only with kindness, but with openness and a multitude of experience. It is evident that weight lifting is not only an expertise in that and a passion, but form, technique, and of course, safety sets a precedence that helps the athletes grow as a lifter and a person. There isnt much you wont find, well, okay maybe bad attitudes, the words I cant, and unicorns (but hey we cant fault them for that). Athletes that go in there come from all walks of life but one of the first things youre asked is what are you looking for? Wherever you want to go, Gil and the crew will get you there. The professionalism and taLent is eye watering, the care to each athlete is touching, the experience and knowledge is humbling. Should I go back to Pensacola, razors edge would be a sweet homecoming and a much needed lesson in form, technique and athleticism. Ive never had to wonder if Im completing a lift with bad form because the coaches are always watching and will never let you compete a lift that has bad form. The coaches always push you to go harder and lift heavier, but they always know and respect your limits----- sometimes better than you do. If you want to shape, tone, and quickly trim up before spring break, give it a shot, but know that they are t training you to be Barbie---- theyre training you to be Wonder Woman. If you want to execute a lift, make PRs, and challenge yourself to the point of humility and pride in one swell sweep? Go to razors edge----- because Wonder Woman can and will kick Barbies ass 30 times in a 8 min AMRAP, 10 rounds for time, and EMOM!

Razors edge has been my gym since moving to pensacola this past year. It is an awesome place for serious training for crossfit or oly lifting as well as the newcomer to expanding your fitness horizons. the atmosphere in the gym is exactly what a gym should be. There are trained coaches here with tons of experience in crossfit and oly lifting. I did multiple coaching sessions for my olympic lifts so i could be a better crossfiter in the regular workouts. The flexibility of the programing here is great! You can choose to take part in the workout of the day with a coaches supervision, work one on one with a coach, or if your into doing your own thing you can do that too. Bottom line is they want to see you improve. Bring your motivation and put in the work.

Review №28

While stationed at NAS Pensacola for about a year, I was consistently impressed with Razors Edge Fitness/Crossfit Pensacola.The gym itself is a very well managed facility with plenty of the latest equipment, ample space for multiple WODs going on at the same time, and a shower/changing room. The gym is kept clean and is located in the middle of downtown, making it a convienient location from across the Pensacola Area. Gil Petruska, the owner, if very flexible with regard to membership to meet any member needs.There is generally good crossfit equipment at any gym, an this gym is no exception. However, what sets the gym apart is the atmosphere and the staff/coaches. Gil, the head trainer and owner, puts his heart and soul into his business providing high-quality programming, a welcoming yet competitive atmosphere and by genuinely caring for his athletes. The assistant coaches bring a wealth of certifications, knowledge and experience as well. There are many walks of life that compete on a daily basis at the gym - working moms, military, business people, aspiring college athletes and mostly people who want to become more fit and healthy.I highly reccomend stopping in for drop in if you are just passing through town or are trying to decide of the box is for you. I personnally think youll end up finding a home away from home and be among like-minded, healthy people.
