Today is my one year anniversary starting with the X-treme Athletics team and I couldn’t be happier with the transformations I have experienced in all aspects of my life. First starting back in October of 2020 I weighed in just short of 300 pounds, now 100 pounds later I’m just short 200 pounds. I was extremely overweight, had little energy, and I knew I let myself go too far. It was time to make a change. My primary goal was the lose weight and get in shape. I started with a week of beginner 1 on 1 sessions to learn the fundamentals. After that I transitioned the early morning class 5 days a week. Neal constantly drives the message that consistency and discipline is the key to success in his program. Thanks to the welcoming environment that the X-Treme team creates, and all the awesome members I did exactly that! For the past 52 weeks I have consistently gone 5 days a week, every week, only missing 6 days. The transformation I have seen and felt both physically and mentally is indeed XTREME, and I couldn’t be happier. Excited to see what the next year brings us!

As a dancer I was scared to get injured but the coaching and fundamentals and coaches pay super close attention to detail and make sure you are set for success. I used to have a weak knee and now after a couple years I don’t have problems with it at all.

I started with X-treme when I was 44, I am turning 50 this year and physically I’m right where I always wanted to be. I learned to eat well and I am in the best shape of my life thanks to this program. I have no plans of stopping until physically I can’t put one foot in front of the other... if you are looking for endurance, performance, confidence and strength this is THE place. X-treme Athletics will encourage you and show you the right way the exercise should be done. You’ll see change in physical and mental state quickly. You’ll have and amazing community with tremendous support and you’ll get the results you want.X-treme Athletics is a life changer.

I wrote this and realized it is very long winded but this is my journey...A friend of mine recommended Xtreme Fitness to me. I work in Bars and restaurants so I was accustomed to eating and drinking all the best and to excess. I had been carrying some extra pounds since tearing my ACL in April of 2015. I didn’t properly complete my physical therapy after having replacement surgery, sitting around loaded up on pain pills doesn’t create the best habits of fitness either. During the original COVID 19 Shelter in place order I slowly accumulated fitness gear and I would work out here and there but I wasn’t motivated to the intensity that I needed and I didn’t really know what I was doing. I’m 45, when I was younger I just had to be active and I could lose weight and get stronger but not any more. So when my friend asked me if I had checked Xtrem Fitness the next time I saw him I felt somewhat obligated to myself to at least check it out. I didn’t want to spend the money, I’m cheap, but I pushed all in and joined the gym on August 25th 2020. Don’t kid yourself, these work outs aren’t easy, there were many times I thought to myself to just stop trying but I pushed through, the other class members would cheer me on as I was always the last person to finish the work out or the run around the block. It took some time, some dedication to diet, a lot of effort, and showing up to work out in the parking lot, because of the Covid restrictions not allowing us to be indoors, it was cold, it was wet, but I got faster, I got stronger in my mind and body, I was now cheering on the new guys, I made friends. BEST OF ALL, MY KNEES NO LONGER HURT ALL THE TIME. I lost 30lbs and my cloths don’t fit. I sleep better.I couldn’t have done it without the guidance and encouragement from Neal and Tracy.Today is December 18th. It been just 4 months and this is my way of life now. 2020 has been different, it has been painful for most people for one reason or another, but change doesn’t happen without a little bit of pain and discomfort.

I highly recommend X-treme Athletics. I have been over weight for long time. I walked onto the gym and signed up for a group class. Covid hit however they still got us together on zoom and did the workouts. I worked out 5 days a week with 2 days to rest and stretch. As of June 22, I have lost 85 lbs, I am still going to reach my first goal of loosing 100lbs. They provided a meal plan which I stuck to it and working out now at their gym outside. I also was able to stop taking my high blood pressure medicine . I feel awesome and I want to thank Neal & Tracy as well as Kota and Dave !! They are great coaches and care a lot about us!!! I would stop by or call them. You will not be disappointed !!!

I am so glad I came across this place. It has been the catalyst to helping me become healthy again and making exercise and eating healthy my top priority. In my first 6 weeks I lost over 6% body fat and am feeling great. Tracy is a fantastic trainer and really motivates you and holds you accountable. The place is clean, inviting and perfect for all fitness levels. Don’t be afraid if you are just starting out. They cater to all levels and help you improve and grow as the weeks go by. You are surrounded by like minded people with similar goals and it makes the hour go by fast.

Top 1% of 1%, period.After getting into a severe car accident, there was only one place that came to mind to have a full, safe and speedy recovery, x-treme! The depth of knowledge that Neal has is unmatched, and with constant communication and evaluation I was able to get up in running in no time. No matter what your goals are, you’re in the best hands with Neal and the x-treme team!

I have been a member at this gym for about 3 years and as I get older in my 40s I have realized I still need a lot of help with mobility and becoming a better version of me. This Box will help you do that! Amazing trainers and good vibes with a great community of people who motivate and push you through when all you want to do is rest./quit. We just finished a 6 week Belly Fat Blast Challenge and I successfully completed it, losing 10 lbs and 2% body fat, this challenge is maintainable and I have already lost another 2 lbs after the challenge has ended. If you are searching for a place whether you are an athlete by nature or just someone who needs to get in shape, this is where you should start! All levels are welcome, they modify based on you and as I mentioned its a great community of people all here for the same reason, our health and to look and feel good! In addition the gym keeps you accountable, by signing up for classes, logging your workouts (so you can see your progress), and they will call or text if you fail to show up for a couple days!

I’ve been with the X-treme team for a while and recently completed the 60 day belly blast challenge. It works! I lost 15 lbs, several inches in the waist and 2% fat. I feel better than I have in years and it’s simply become a new way of eating rather than a diet. At 51 I finally feel fit again. The gym is a great environment where members support each other. Great programs and valuable information and techniques to keep you safe while you excel.

CrossFit X-treme Athletics is a gym where you have the opportunity to exercise, learn, meet new people, and have fun. It is extremely well furnished, has ample equipment, and offers a schedule with a lot of options. The class programming and coaching is very strong and helps you to get great workouts while you’re constantly improving. For me, having started with no knowledge of conditioning, CrossFit, or any form of weightlifting, I’ve been so appreciative of those I’ve met through the gym who have helped me always get better and welcomed me when I was in town for either workouts or fun events.

This place is amazing. I cannot thank this team enough! Ive been coming here for nearly three years, since they opened at this location. My boyfriend just joined and he loves it. The team and community here are so inclusive, whether it be fitness level, adaptive physical abilities, and even with social differences. The workout is amazing because when I was new and was VERY out of shape, they modified the workouts so I could complete them and continue to get stronger. Now these days Im doing things I never imagined. I trust them with training my boyfriend as well, who is brand new to CrossFit. He is a pre professional dancer and cannot risk injury. It is a safe way for him to build up his strength and conditioning. If youre new to fitness, or if your a professional athlete (yes we have members from the NFL) youll have some great training and youll be amazed with your improvements. The only thing you have to do is your best. Youre going to have to work hard with the abilities you have.The moment I walked in on their opening day I had no clue what was going on. I saw balloons and walked in. There was a DJ, dogs, and people. I thought it was some crazy birthday party. Tracy invited me to workout with them and it was unlike anything I had done. I signed up on the spot and have been coming back ever since. I need breaks during the warm-ups for the first month. I wasnt able to use weights until the second month. Now I am doing things I never imagined. Plus I love how diverse this community is. Many different ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientation, physical abilities, you name it!Its tough coaching but you can achieve your goals here if you give it all you got! Expect to work and expect to get results from the work you put in. Youll be shocked by what you can do.

This Crossfit gym is amazing! Im on week 4 of the challenge and I love it. The coaches and the owner are all phenomenal they really help you push through it and build up your strength and endurance. There was also a point where I had injured myself but the coach was able to still alter the workouts so I could continue coming to the class. Thank you Neal, Tracy and Ray! I cant wait to continue on with the classes after I finish this challenge.

I have gone to a couple of community days at X-Treme and the people were extremely friendly. During the workouts I received motivating feedback from multiple trainers on how to improve form regarding specific movements, as well as, positive motivation from my workout partner (a gym regular). Other gyms will have chalk all over the place, heavily crowded, or old equipment. This gym is very clean, spacious and the equipment is new.I have never been a gym rat but noticing some strength loss in my mid-30s, I started Neals workout regimen. I was pretty surprised how quickly I gained strength back and noticed a big upswing in strength and stamina.I highly recommend this X-treme Athletics.

It’s hard for me to give this place such a low rating, but after switching gyms and getting more for less, I have to let people know.They used to have an amazing coach, Ray! He got pushed out though. By Neal (if you go read any other comments you’ll see he’s the main reason a lot of people leave). And they have an amazing coach, Tracy! She’s Neal’s wife.The coaches and training style is good, or was for me. There wasn’t much breakdown of certain types of moves - like rope climbs, chest to bar and hand-stands. It was more of this idea that you either had it or your didn’t. You could do it or you couldn’t. I had only taken a few classes during my time (a little over a year) with Neal, and I think this is because of the feedback they were getting. But instead my classes were CONSTANTLY interrupted by him YELLING “TRACY!” and she would stop coaching, walk away and tend to him. All. The. Time. This happened. I had never heard him say one positive thing to a member, he would just stand there and stare - and of course sometimes come in a blow a gasket and yell at the class for some reason. He very money driven and wants his face all over the gym. It was a great gym to start at, but you don’t learn much outside the basics - and if you’re 1 minute late you might as well not show up. Unless you want to run a mile with a 50 pound sand bag, or row 3000 meters or plank for 30 minutes.Also, if you’re allergic to dogs STAY AWAY. They had 3 pit bulls and the stretching area (where the turf is) smelled SO bad and you would be covered in hair if you sat on it.The other members were always great - the 2 coaches were amazing - but it’s very expensive for not a lot.

Good place to start your fitness journey especially CrossFit. Neal (one of the coaches) will push to your limits. Just give your 100% to the WOD. You will be amazed at what you can achieve/conquer.

I dropped into X-treme Athletics for three days for their CrossFit classes (while visiting the area). I cant say enough good things about this place! Tracey was very welcoming -- in fact, all the members were welcoming, encouraging and positive. If I lived here, this is where I would go for CrossFit Classes. CrossFit is a community, and I certainly felt that vibe from day 1. I had Neal Maddox as my coach for all three days. Wow! The Quality of coaching and instruction is excellent. I had a few lingering injuries, and they worked with me based on my ability - scaling the workouts as needed. The gym itself is very clean, its well ventilated, and spacious. Whats also pretty cool (literally) is that they have a Cryotherapy chamber, which is excellent for recovery. In fact, my daughter is attending sessions due to a torn meniscus. Its not just for injuries - it can help with just overall soreness. Overall, one of the best places I have ever dropped into for a CrossFit Class. If you live in the area, or are just dropping in - this is the place to go!

I can not recommend CrossFit Xtreme Athletics enough! I first joined with the 6 week boot camp challenge. Not only did I have one of the best experiences of my life as I watched my body change getting leaner, stronger, faster, and more athletic but I also thoroughly enjoyed the way it changed my mind. Under the coaching of Neil and Tracy you get more than just moves to do for the days workout. You receive education! You learn how to connect with your body, the importance of proper form, how to push yourself beyond your own mental blocks, how to show up with an active mind, and how to challenge yourself in ways you never imagined were possible.I enjoyed the boot camp challenge so much I joined as an ongoing member. Being a part of the Xtreme Athletics team has taught me so much about myself, my body and what I THOUGHT my limits were. I am constantly provided with expanding mental strength seeing what I am able to accomplish with the right focus, determination, and will power. The supportive environment here, community vibe and phenomenal coaching from Neil and Tracy creates the perfect recipe for staying motivated and on track for reaching your goals.A word of truth, it will not easy. If done right the experience here will expose your weaknesses inside and out, make you doubt yourself so you can push through the doubt and grow in ways you always wanted to but had yet to achieve on your own. But it is soooooooo worth it. Take my word for it!! You will not miss the person you leave behind and you will LOVE the person you become in this supportive environment.Sincerely,,A proud Cross Fit X-Treme Participant,Raschel Hutton

Im 41 years old and in the absolute best shape of my life. I owe it all to Neal Maddox and the team at Crossfit X-treme Athletics.Since starting at the gym in October of 2016, Ive shed 65+ pounds. When I first walked through the doors, I was just 2 years past having a heart attack, grossly overweight, and desperate for a transformation.My first day, my first week, my first month - they were all really hard, and I was really embarrassed by how out of shape I was. I was able to stick to it because of the expert guidance of the coaches and supportive community of members.Weve all heard the horror stories of gruesome crossfit injuries, but those just dont happen at CFXA. Although the programming is designed to push you, the highly trained coaches know every single member and what level they are at in their fitness journey. They make sure you have your form and technique down before moving on to heavy weights or advanced moves. In nearly 3 years, Ive barely experienced anything worse than just being really sore.Ive had the opportunity to workout at other gyms across the country while traveling, so I can say with confidence that X-treme Athletics is truly a special place. Neal Maddox is a crossfit legend, and he is also a brilliant coach. His crossfit programming is second to none, and he also assists with custom tailored nutrition plans. On top of that, he keeps the cleanest gym Ive ever been to.In short, Crossfit X-treme Athletics is World-class coaching, Tight-knit community, Breakthrough results!

This crossfit gym has a lot of good things going for them. The facilities are clean, equipment is mostly new, the members are personable, and the coaching is great! They also have an in house chiropractor who does amazing work, and I highly recommend Derek Ko for your chiropractic needs.You might be wondering why I am only giving two stars to a place that sounds like theres nothing wrong. The owner of Xtreme Athletics, Neal Maddox, is the reason for the poor rating I have given. Neal Maddox can sometimes display zero regard for his customers, and it shows in the way he handles customer service issues.When I first signed up at Xtreme they offered different types of classes. They had the regular crossfit classes, Olympic lifting classes, a boot camp style class, and open gym. One day he decided, without any warning, that both open gym and boot camp were cancelled and no longer available. Now Im paying almost $200/month for just olympic lifting and basic crossfit classes? For that price, every other crossfit gym I have looked at offered a lot more than Xtreme. And just the way it all went down left a sour taste in my mouth.Recently Neal decided that he was going to enforce a rule that he had not enforced since before I joined. If you forget to sign in for class, you must spin the wheel and do a penalty workout instead of the regular workout, and he offers no help whatsoever to remind you to sign in (no sign or anything), nor did he even have a mechanism for you to sign in with. So they make it 100% your responsibility to remember to sign in, and also have a phone to sign in with. Want to run a mile with a 50lb sandbag on your shoulders? Neither did I. Want to do a plank for 30 minutes? No thanks, thats just not for me.Needless to say I left that day less than happy. I messaged Neal about what happened and he never replied back to me. As a result of the poor customer service I received from Neal, I decided to pull my credit card from their website so they couldnt charge me for the next month.Neal then took the extra step of telling his in house chiropractor that he is not allowed to take me on as a customer any longer, simply because I didnt give Xtreme the proper 15 day cancellation notice. Now, if that isnt a clear example of his pettiness, just give this place a try and Im sure Neal can show you more examples of how he can be a total jerk.Oh yeah, I almost forgot, he also writes your name on the board if your credit card was declined for whatever reason. So hes basically telling every member there if you owe him money. Xtremely unprofessional...
