The atmosphere was very friendly. The people were inviting and made me feel comfortable. The instructor was informative, explained the routine and modifications you could use, also checked to make sure if I had issues that my limit my performance. Great place and people. Loved it!
Lost 40ish pounds over the course of the past 8 months. Staff is super helpful and amazing. All online too, who woulda thought?
Great place to get a nice workout in! Ive been going for about two years now and it hasnt failed me. Good equipment and the staff are welcoming and very kind
Maybe as a member, it is a different experience, but my review is based upon trying to drop in.The day before I was looking to drop in, I messaged Hale through IG asking if they are currently accepting drop-ins and if so do I need to sign up for a class ahead of time. I asked because, due to the pandemic, etc. I know that my gym is far more strictly regulated than it used to be. I was told to just swing by and didn’t have to sign up ahead of time. Arriving 15 minutes early, when I introduced myself, I was told that they don’t allow drop-ins, the class is already full, etc. This was an annoyance to say the least.The coach asked me how often I’m in the area, and pre shutdown, I used to come fairly regularly to visit family. Seemingly the coach was seeing whether it was worth letting me stay or asking me to leave. Odd inquiry. Generally when in the east Bay Area, depending upon where I am at the moment, I go to pacific strength or grassroots CrossFit to drop in. Likely will stick to going there - both had great communities and good spaces.
Highly recommend! Prior to coming to Hale I struggled with knowing what to do at the gym, making sure my form was correct, and staying motivated. Crossfit Hale excels with all of these things. The coaches are wonderful and program a great variety of workouts. The community is incredibly supportive. Im now excited to go as often as possible. It has made a huge difference in my health and fitness. I cannot recommend it enough.
Been a member for 3 years. Great coaching and well thought out programming.
There aren’t enough words to describe how awesome CrossFit Hale is!! All of the coaches and members made me feel welcome from day one and I have watched this repeat over and over again with each new member. The family dynamic at the gym makes showing up each day an easy decision. The coaches really focus on function and form guiding everyone through each movement before the workout. Everything is scalable and no one feels pressured to do things they arent ready for. I have improved immensely in my strength, technique, and confidence both in and out of the gym since starting here and cannot thank the coaches enough!! I highly recommend stopping by and seeing what we are all about!
This is not just a gym, its a community of people that get together to get stronger and learn how to live a healthier life. The coaches are real people that take the classes with you and share in the same daily struggles. Every workout can be tailored to your specific needs. No matter how hard you look you will never find an amazing place like Crossfit Hale. It has changed my life and that of both my daughters for the better. The moment you walk in you will be greeted by a smile and it only gets better from there.
Such an amazing gym. Fantastic coaches. They really know what they are talking about and teach you the right way to do things. The workouts are challenging and lots of fun. The results are the best part
I have been a member of HALE for 4 years and have seen great results in my training, coupled with compassionate coaches and awesome members. Training at HALE has been a great experience for me especially since Im a woman of a particular age the coaches always make sure your good and that you understand the programing and they listen to your voice, push you when you need to pushed and back off when its appropriate. Its never a dull moment at HALE. I highly recommend Crossfit HALE!!!
I love Crossfit Hale! The coaches are extremely dedicated, supportive and encourage you to push yourself. The workouts are fun and creative and over the past year and a half I have gotten much stronger, healthier and more confident!
Crossfit Hale is the most supportive and diverse community with the most caring and awesome coaches who simply wont give up on you. The coaches really make sure youre moving safely through all movements and help you master those you might struggle with while you gain confidence and grow stronger.
I have been coming to Crossfit Hale for 2 years. My experience here has been great. Made great friends. The community here is awesome. We have the best coaches. I have picked up skills like pull ups, muscle ups and handstand pushups. Ive also lost 30 pounds.
Great coaching, great community, lots of fun and its really clean!
I love the variety in workouts combined with the focus on proper form to ensure that you prevent injury while constantly improving.
Great community of athletes . Biggest, nicest and cleanest gym I have been apart of !
Great place to do crossfit!!! Have had soo much fun so far!!!
Crossfit Hale has done the impossible. They made me ENJOY working out! The supportive community here is unlike anything Ive ever experienced. All the coaches inspire us to work hard and challenge ourselves, but also to have fun while doing so. Members are encouraged to get to know each other, and cheer each other on, so it really does feel like a family. PRs are celebrated, accomplishments are acknowledged, struggles are coached through, and every single person, regardless of skill level, is made to feel like they belong. As someone who has never been athletic in my life, and always felt very self conscious about my lack of coordination, endurance, and strength, Crossfit Hale has made me feel at-home from the first day I stepped in the door. Theres no attitudes, no judgement, no pretension. Just smiles and sweat! I feel so much stronger, inside and out, because of these wonderful coaches.
Before joining CrossFit Hale I was training at home and occasionally trying to complete WODs in a standard gym setting (without much success). I had been happy training solo since 2011, but I really wanted to take my training and overall fitness to the next level. I wanted to surround myself with good people and good coaches and was hoping to find that something to help push myself further than I had been while training alone. I was lucky enough to find both at CrossFit Hale.Being around others while training helps my push my limits while also helping to identify issues with my form in various lifts. Having someone point out something you have done a thousand times and showing you how to correct or in my case, relearn, some of the basic elements can really improve your performance.I love the consistent, challenging (and fun) programming. I used to play to my strengths prior to joining because it can be so easy getting caught up picking workouts each day from a number of different affiliate pages or the mainsite, but when the programming is set for you and you have no choice but to expose your weakness – you are bound to get better. You learn to like the things you hate.I have been doing CrossFit since 2011, but not being able to train regularly on rowers, gymnastic rings or a GHD machine definitely made me a rookie in regards to some fundamental CrossFit movements. Having the proper coaching I receive at CrossFit Hale helped me achieve muscle ups, consistent PRs on a bunch of lifts (Back Squat, Squat Snatch, Power Clean, etc.) and increased work capacity across the board throughout workouts.CrossFit Hale stands out to me because of the unique atmosphere it creates. A lot of people, when asked why they like their job might respond by saying “the people” and that’s what works for Hale – at least for me. The people who come together to create our community and the coaches who help to build and maintain it provide such an inviting and encouraging place.I always try to tell myself not to look at the next day’s workout when it is posted before I go to bed because I know I will be thinking about how I am going to attack it all night, but that’s just how excited I get about getting back into Hale each day. It’s a blessing and a curse maybe, but one I would recommend to anyone looking to make a positive change in their lives.
Great coaching, great community, great gym!
