This is a GREAT gym! The coaches are very encouraging and take time to show you proper form for the exercises. I’ve never really lifted or exercised in the CrossFit style of training, but I get the hype! If you’re looking to break a routine and start something new or if you just want a gym to go get a solid workout, this is the place!
Joining Kindle Fitness was the best choice I made during my journey into a more healthy lifestyle. I was so nervous to try something new and something as challenging as functional fitness but let me tell you, once I walked in and talked to Nolan and met the other coaches, all those negative feelings went away and I was so excited and felt welcomed. The environment is energetic and the athletes are absolutely amazing and encouraging! The coaches are wonderful and they are great about showing you the movement and answering any questions you may have. This is the best place to get a killer workout in!!
Kindle strength and conditioning is THE BEST. They have very knowledgeable and attentive coaches and offer a great workout experience in a very non threatening environment. They have members of all ability levels, so everyone is welcome and able to succeed. Love it here!
Ive done CrossFit for a few years and visited many gyms. Kindle was the best experience Ive had at a CF gym -- easy to access, affordable, and these people were SO kind. Nolan and Jenn manage this gym and theyve built a high quality gym with a wonderfully positive culture. Also, the workouts kicked my butt (because, CF!).
CrossFit Kindle has helped change my life. Owners Jenn and Nolan Gouveia have done a fantastic job of creating a culture of health and wellness that go far beyond physical fitness. I have experienced a tremendous amount of personal growth in the last 4 years of my life being a committed member of this CrossFit affiliate, particularly in the area of self-discipline. When I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, this gym helped rally around me and now I am more healthy and fit than I have ever been in my life. I am so grateful for Nolan, Jenn, the rest of the coaching staff, and my fellow members for helping me along in my journey as an athlete and member of society. If you’re looking for a place that will come alongside you, befriend you, encourage you, and help you become the best version of you, then CrossFit Kindle is where you want to be!
This place is amazing! I went as a sort of challenge, not really sure I wanted or needed something like this. Now Im wondering why I didnt try this sooner. ONE workout here is like two weeks worth with my former trainer. The coaches are the best...knowledgeable and attentive. They are very good about making sure youre using proper form so you dont get hurt and get the most out of your time here. Also, the people that work out here are all so welcoming and encouraging. Ive never seen that at a regular gym. At my old place I had worked out one day and ran into a friend afterward that said, You worked out? Wheres the sweat? Nobody will ask you that after you work out here. Come see. Get it done!
Fitness can be intimidating, but these guys make it welcoming and fun without giving up expertise or intensity. I can tend to nerd out on things and fitness is no exception. That being said, I love their approach to programming. They are informed and knowledgable while being approachable. They have the art of programming down: its challenging and produces results, and doesnt just beat you up randomly.Its encouraging to work out with an encouraging community of people with a wide range of athletic ability. And, you dont lose the feeling of having individual attention during a group class. Last class, Coach Jenn kept pushing me (calling me out 😂) and wouldnt let me slack. Sometimes you need encouragement, sometimes you need a push.From the staff to the members, its great to show up to a place where youre known and know youll work hard.
Crossfit Kindle is the best! We searched for a while for a good place to try out, and based on the reviews, we decided on this place. So glad we did. Coach Nolan is the man, and he and his awesome wife/business partner bring in only great people into their gym. On top of that, dudes a beast! Theres never an awkward feeling, or any judgment if you cant lift a certain weight. Coach Dustin and coach Sarah are awesome too and take the time to actually show you the right form instead of letting you sink. Positive vibes and killer workouts will keep me coming back. Highly recommend.
I’ve been going for about two months now and I’ve held off reviewing until I had a better feel for it. It’s a really great workout and also really welcoming and not judgy. I’m not athletic, or rather I wasn’t, and they do a great job of teaching and also keeping the workout intense.
I walked in pretty apprehensive a couple of years ago. I was immediately greeted by a coach and put at ease. He took the time to answer all of my questions and I decided to give it a try. Two years later I cant imagine working out anywhere else. The coaches are superb and always take the time to explain every movement. And the encouragement from coaches and fellow athletes alike will make you feel right at home. I am in better shape now at 47 than I was at 27 and I have CrossFit Kindle to thank for that!
I was in town visiting family and decided to drop in.Everyone was extremely friendly, and the equipment was brand spanking new. Def a great community here with great and fun programming. From what Ive seen the coaches have a great rapport with their athletes and have a good eye for form and detail.Come check them out. I would come back in a heartbeat whenever Im back in town. Thanks for having me guys!
We moved here from our old box in Ontario when we moved to Riverside and we could not be happier. Although we miss a lot of the peeps at the old box, we love the challenging programming and professionalism Nolan and his staff bring to each workout. Nolan is very technical and gives great feedback on olympic style lifting. I have a bad back (thinning L4 and L5), and the coaches are all aware and tailor the workout for something that I can do in the event my back is flaring up. The class sizes are just the right size (not too many people) to where you feel youre getting great feedback from the rest of the coaches. The schedule of classes works great for our schedule and we love that on Saturdays there is the barbell club for people who just want to focus on technical lifting, followed by a group class at 9am. Everyone has been very welcoming to us and friendly being from an old gym and we love our new box. Being 36, I always wonder if I have room to still learn new tricks and it was here at Crossfit Kindle that I was able to get my first strict pull-ups. Must be the programming (combined with the dedication)!
My husband has attended Crossfit Kindle and he loves everything about the community and the gym. The coaches are great. Very family friendly environment.
My favorite gym
Ive said it once. Ill continue to say it. If you are in the Riverside area, this is the box for you!! The programming is challenging. The equipment is top notch. The facility is spacious. The FitAid is cold. Besides all that, the most important thing you need to know about is the people that make up the Kindle community. The coaches talent is matched by their care for each athlete! That care is carried over to each athletes support for one another! Ive been to other boxes. This box is actually one of the strongest, most welcoming communities of athletes in the area. No matter your skill or athleticism, you will find a cheering section behind you each WOD that you grind through!If you are curious about Crossfit, visit Kindle. If you are looking to pursue your fitness goals, visit Kindle. If youre a veteran of functional fitness, visit Kindle! Youll find yourself challenged not only physically, but relationally, emotionally, and mentally!
I have been doing crossfit since 2010 and I have trained at multiple different gyms throughout the Inland Empire and Temecula area. There are only two crossfit boxes that I absolutely love training at. One of those is Crossfit Kindle. The coaches here are amazing, the community is amazing, and the gym is top notch. Nolan (owner) is such a great leader and coach. I cant say enough good things about this place. If you live in or are visiting the Riverside area, this is the Crossfit box you want to train at!
CrossFit Kindle has become family. When I stepped foot through those doors 18 months ago I was skeptical, nervous, still holding on to baby weight, and completely out of shape. Literally, the moment Coach Nolan and Coach Jenn walked up to me, I felt comfortable -- and its only become better ever since. I went from zero exercise to loving each and every workout. I went from being terrified of a burpee to figuring out how to mentally prepare for them. I went from feeling weak to feeling incredibly powerful. Without any hesitation whatsoever, I highly recommend CrossFit Kindle for anyone and everyone; all ages & abilities are warmly welcomed!
Always excited to comeback to Riverside and workout with the Kindle Mafia!
