The programming, community, coaches and the overall vibe here reminded me exactly how casual my workouts have gotten over the last 7 years. As a former casual lifter, Ive never seriously done crossfit before becoming a Guava 11 months ago but now I can say that Ive improved on all of the movements. The Open was my biggest wake-up call and Ive sweat a LOT in this gym just to keep up with other athletes while the coaches are all on another level!Everyone is always friendly and welcoming so Im sad to leave but since Im moving to another state, that would be a hell of a commute! Keep it up Big G!
CrossFit Big Guava is an awesome community that focuses on overall well being. The coaches are phenomenal and not concerned about how much you lift, but that you are doing the movements correctly and with intensity. They take the time to get to know you and meet you at your level to help you develop your full potential. They also have excellent program for the advance athletes. Come in for a session and check it for yourself.
I really love going to Big Guava. I went in looking for a community and that’s exactly what I got. I’m new to CrossFit and all the coaches are super helpful and encouraging, making it less intimidating to exercise or try a new move. I couldn’t have found a better gym.
I dropped in on four different class visits and was greeted with open arms. Very GREAT group of people and GREAT instructors (Darren, Kristin, Zane and Linh. Overall everything was AWESOME from warm up/stretching to how the classes were run. I would highly recommend this box to anyone in the area.
Honestly, best CrossFit gym I have ever attended in all my experience with CrossFit. Out of all gyms, the attention that you receive from the owners Kristen, Darren, Kate and Tomás it’s honestly unique. From the moment you walk through those doors they make sure you instantly become familiar with the gym, the workouts, the classes, the staff (love Zane) and are just ready to make sure you kick some a** working out. Very supporting, friendly community which I think it makes a huge difference, not worrying about having to rely on that one partner to come workout with you. But anyone will step in at any moment to join you, help you, and motivate you. Sincerely just an awesome gym over all. Always looking forward to that next workout!! Just amazing. Love Me some BigGuava!!!! 🧡💚
It took me and I kid you not three years to find this place! I’ve been looking for a new gym since moving down for college and this is really the first place that I’ve ever felt at home, it’s a bit of a drive from USF campus but 100% worth it! The people are amazing in the community that they can create within their space simply amazes me.
When I was looking for a new CF gym to call home, I went to basically every CF gym in the Tampa area. Big Guava was my last stop and after ONE class I made the decision. The programming is amazing and I’ve progressed more in 6 months than I did over 2 years at my last gym, but my favorite thing about CFBG is the staff. You are greeted by everyone when you walk in, and are made to feel important regardless of your skill level. They meet you where you’re at, and are constantly pushing for good form and reminding us daily how to better our movements and ourselves. I highly recommend CFBG — for skilled athletes and beginners and everyone in between.
Best CrossFit gym in the Bay Area! Dedicated coaching staff that truly loves what they do. The community atmosphere is so welcoming and everyone strives to push each other to be better.
I put off trying Crossfit for literally years because I felt too intimidated by what I had heard about it. I was worried about being injured, worried about being too out of shape, worried I wouldnt fit into the expectations, etc... You name it- I felt insecure about it with Crossfit!Lots of folks referred me to Big Guava and I am so grateful!Their launch pad is fantastic to get people acclimated to the gym and culture. I felt like every single coach was truly invested in making sure everyone felt welcome, challenged in the most positive way, and most importantly to me- wanted to be sure no one got hurt. I appreciate how different all of the coaches are and how they all bring some different dynamics and backgrounds to the table.The gym is cleaner than most I have been in and the owners and staff go above and beyond to be sure athletes are cared for. Cleaning supplies, cold towels, sweat towels, stocked bathrooms, etc... really add an extra touch that isnt unnoticed. In 6 months I have seen them grow, change and adapt and keep pushing themselves to be better as a gym. Its the same thing I see as an athlete from the coaching so it makes total sense! They will just keep raising the bar to do better.Overall I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined this community- it has been more than worth it!
I absolutely love working out here! Everyone is so positive and motivating. I have personally seen massive improvements in my strength, ability and overall health since being a member at CFBG!!!!!!!
I stopped in Tampa on business and was able to join the CrossFit Big Guava box. It was great the people are amazing and I was sore the next day lol. Thanks again cross the team
I just recently moved to Tampa from Philadelphia. When I initially visited Tampa in December, I tried out a couple gyms to see which one was the best fit for me. CrossFit Big Guava immediately made me feel at home even during my drop ins. I have been in Tampa for about five weeks now and I feel as much at home here as I did at my gym in Philadelphia that I was a member for seven years! This gym is so welcoming, fun, competitive, and community-based! Whether youre dropping in or making CrossFit Big Guava your home gym, you wont be disappointed.
Awesome place, friendly staff with a great group of fellow crossfit enthusiasts. Space is large, equipment is plentiful, and well maintained. Highly recommended Crossfit in Tampa!!!
I joined CFBG in December after some friends recommended it and I am so glad that I did. This has easily become one of my favorite parts of my day. The coaches really care and seek to help you get better at the movements and push yourself to be your best! The people and energy in this gym are amazing!
Let me start by saying that if you are on the fence about CrossFit or just browsing local gyms, JOIN THIS ONE.I say this as someone who was in your position a few months ago. I was reluctant to join a CrossFit gym again after spending so much time away and having many reservations about the methodology and the “cult” following that has grown around the sport.Make no mistake, you are not just signing up for a membership at Big Guava but joining a COMMUNITY.This is was what brought me back to CrossFit, specifically CFBG, and what I didn’t realize I missed as much as I did.Yes, you will get fit here.Yes, you will get strong here.But, the biggest of GAINS you will make will be when you become part of the guava tree and the abundance of support and motivation you will receive from all your new friends. Just go in an talk to any of the amazing owners and try NOT to be convinced.Won’t happen.Join Big Guava.
I love this place!!! I worked out for years. A little running here and some lifting there. However, nothing has been as beneficial for me as when I joined CrossFit Big Guava. The community is incredible and the coaches are so helpful. No matter what level you come in at they will assist you.
I was in town on spring-break with my family. I needed a place to do the open workouts. First off these people couldnt be nicer and more inviting. And the energy and fun everyone was having, this place is truly awesome...if i lived here i know where i would workout.
I’ve stopped by this Gym every single time I’ve came to the Tampa area on leave, and I must say, What isn’t to love, The community, the people you meet there, the top of the line coach’s, and the killer workout that will leave you on the floor gasping for air!(which is why we do CrossFit after all!😌) highly recommend this gym for anyone, regardless if your just stopping in town, new to CrossFit or more experience!! Definitely won’t regret it!
Great community of people and even better workouts! Their programming is so good! They are also very accommodating to all fitness levels and equally encouraging to all! The gym itself is top notch with nice equipment and very spacious. The coaches are super friendly and very helpful! Overall a great Crossfit gym! I’m proud to be a Guava!
My wife and I joined this gym right after quarantine in June, and it has been one of the best decisions weve made! Not only are we achieving huge fitness goals quickly, weve made some great friends along the way. This Gym if full of awesome people between the coaches and members; everyone is super encouraging of your goals and are there to help you achieve them! If youre nervous about jumping into CrossFit (like I was) come try out their introduction class and youll want to sign up immediately after. Big Guava is the coolest, most fun, best in class Gym weve ever been a member of!
I moved to Tampa FL for a 6 month internship and wanted to continue being involved in CrossFit. I found CFBG and it was the best decision I made. The coaches were extremely helpful, motivational and patient when learning new techniques. They take great care of their equipment and have a clean and spacious environment. For being new to the area and not knowing anyone, this Guava family made me feel very welcome in their Floridian Guava Tree! I highly recommend working out here!
I recently moved to Tampa and spent months trying to find a gym that would both challenge me and provide me a sense of community in a new city. After dropping in at five local gyms, I couldnt find one that satisfied both of my needs until I found CrossFit Big Guava. Immediately after my first class, I didnt hesitate to join. The attention to detail and passion each coach exudes is unmatched by any program in the area. I cannot recommend this gym enough. Its worth the drive and the money- you wont find better competition, community, or coaching anywhere else.
I have never had any experience with weightlifting and I was very out of shape when I discovered CFBG. I always past the sign on my way home and I decided it was time to check it out. I did the intro class (they responded to my message on Instagram within minutes to give me details) and felt like I was right at home. The coach was super encouraging and informative and I loved the music they were playing as there was a regular class going on at the same time. I did the on-ramp and got the one-on-one attention I needed to learn the basics of all the equipment and barbell movements in the gym. I felt comfortable the entire time I was learning something new in the beginning - the coaches there are very knowledgeable and they critique you to improve your form. I have been doing it for 6 months straight and go 5 days a week to the 6am class that accommodates my busy schedule. The community at this gym is unlike any other I have been a part of. These people have now become my close friend in normal life. I highly recommend CFBG for anyone who is thinking of trying CrossFit for their first time. The staff there is the best out there and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!!!
Crossfit Big Guava is not like any other gym! You get educated on the movements and workouts so you don’t get hurt. They truly have all levels of fitness for beginners, some fitness and above average. If you can’t do a movement yet, it’s fine, you can substitute until you are strong enough to reach that goal. I feel there is no judgement, you feel comfortable when you get to the gym and look forward to returning the next day. I love the feeling that I actually got a good workout in and that I push myself to the next level. Everyone is friendly, not just staff. Our gym is clean and well equipped! I highly recommend Big Guava if your looking for a change in your fitness life or just looking for a Jew crossfit gym ❤️
The coaches at CFBG do a great job of making everyone feel like part of the family. Not only are they inclusive, but theyre also experienced, knowledgeable, and motivating. The facility itself is spacious and inviting, full of high-functioning equipment and personal touches. Youve got to check it out!
I recently moved to the Tampa area and spent a whole month traveling from gym to gym in order to find the best one. Big Guava is hands down the best! Not only is everyone extremely nice but the coaches actually take the time to coach you and make you better no matter what your skill level may be. 15/10 would recommend. If you try this gym out you will love it!
Don’t let the abs of this gym intimidate you! Hah! (Seriously though, they got some fit members) Very friendly and welcoming gym. I dropped in twice while visiting with my sister and both times were super fun. I feel like if this was my home gym I’d be really fit because the workouts were tough (still scalable though to fit all needs). Lots of room, equipment, and smiling faces. If you are looking for a box with a motivated fitness community, this is it.
I’ve been a member of Crossfit Big Guava for over a year now. The programming is accessible, but also challenging in a good way. My strength has greatly increased since becoming a member of this gym. Everybody is very welcoming and even though we all have different strengths, skills, and goals we all support and celebrate each other. I’ve made a lot of great friends here. This gym is inclusive and is a home from everybody!
Crossfit Big Guava has provided me with the best community to grow with physically and mentally. The equipment, resources, classes and coaches are the best. You are able to experience camaraderie with other members during workouts but also get specific help and training from coaches. This gym definitely provides more than just an outlet for fitness and I definitely recommend dropping in for a visit.
I joined this crossfit gym after moving to Tampa as it was highly recommended from current members, best decision I ever made! The coaches are fantastic and make personalized adjustments to the workout for each member. Great people, great environment, and even better coaches.
Super friendly box with very experienced coaches. I felt immediately at home and had confidence the coaches were taking my in the right direction based on my skill level. The other crossfitters were super friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this box to anyone for just a quick drop in or to make this gym your long term home. 5 stars.
Great coaches, programming, and environment. Everyone is so uplifting and welcoming. They do a great job of pushing you in a variety of ways- with fun music, varied workouts, a lot of equipment, and good people.
A great place for people of all skill levels. Challenging programming which allows you to get better every single day, while allowing for scaling based on your own skill level. Coaches are great about helping you develop your skills. In a short time you will start to become proficient in many CrossFit skills you thought would take months. A great community ranging from high-level athletes to people just looking to achieve better fitness. Barbell class is a great way to learn the power output of CrossFit and Redline is a great afternoon sweat that is challenging for all levels. Overall, could not be happier with everything that CrossFit Big Guava offers. Highly recommend it to the beginning athlete through the highest of level CrossFit athlete.
The CFBG community is just that, community. You feel welcome from your first class whether you’re an experienced athlete or novice just starting out. The facility is top notch and the coaches are knowledgeable and helpful. The programming is challenging and well planned; the class times are ideal for most any schedule. I highly recommend dropping in for a Wod to get your sweat on!
Started going to Big Guava about 5 months ago as a first time cross fitter. Such an awesome community and make you feel welcomed right away! The coaches and other members are always encouraging you to get better and to achieve your personal goals!
I have been going to CrossFit Big Guava for a little over two months now and I absolutely love it!!! I was definitely a little intimidated at first, as I have never done Crossfit before but they have a great launch pad class where I was able to learn how to properly and safely perform many of the routine movements. Since joining the regular classes, the coaches and other athletes are always there to help and make you feel comfortable. The gym also has a great sense of community and it’s wonderful getting to know more people in our area.
Ive been a member of Crossfit Big Guava for a month now and honestly wouldnt ever want to return to a standard gym again. I originally signed up because I was needing an outlet to escape my stressful job each day and knew that I wasnt pushing myself by going to Planet Fitness on my own time.I can walk into my workouts and feel as if Im part of something greater than just my 1 hr of fitness. Im learning new things each class and feel supported by Everyone surrounding me. If you could use some positive people in your life and a good place to participate in some fitness I highly recommend giving this at least an intro class to test it out .
This is my go to CrossFit gym when I visit Tampa. The coaches are knowledgeable and experienced and the programming is always fun and challenging. The atmosphere is very cool really utilizes the outdoor spaces which is ideal when you’re visiting Florida and don’t want to feel like your just stuffed inside a dark gym. Above all, their community is amazing and welcomes you in immediately. I can’t recommend Big Guava enough!!
Big Guava is the most welcoming gym that I have ever attended. I have never attended a Crossfit gym or attempted any Crossfit movements prior to my trial, but with the help of the knowledgable coaches and team, I was able to catch on very quickly. After 6 months with Big Guava, I cant see myself doing anything else. If youre looking for a beneficial change in your workouts and joining a team of encouraging members, definitely give Big Guava a try.
Most amazing CrossFit gym ever! They literally make you feel like family and even after leaving the gym, I still feel very much involved with what’s going on! Definitely motivated me to remain on my fitness journey and makes sure you get the one on one attention you need! Such an honor to be apart of this family and can’t wait to return! Check them out! It will be the best step towards gaining friends and fitness!
Learning to lift weights properly is a challenge in itself, never mind finding joy in the process. From the very first intro class the team there ensures you are up to speed, and stays tentative throughout the workout. You can tell they enjoy what they do and are extremely passionate Ive been here for just over a month and I LOVE IT! Theres no judgement, theres no sense of segregation AT ALL and the top athletes always encourage you to push harder. This is totally the outlet I needed!
I love big guava! The only box I visit when I’m in town. Their coaches are friendly, inviting, and superbly knowledgeable. They have a great setup, and I always leave having one of the best workouts ever. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I always look forward to working out there. Give them a try; you won’t regret it!
This is the best CrossFit gym in Tampa. The community is out of this world, the programming is phenomenal, and the gym itself is beyond impressive. If you’re looking for a new gym, this is it! You will not regret this amazing facility, coaching staff, and athletes.
Great community. Everyone is welcome. If you’ve never done crossfit you can scale and still get a great workout.
I joined CFBG shortly after the lockdown from Covid was lifted. The community here is great, since joining I have made great friends while also getting in the best shape of my life. If you’re looking for a friendly gym to join or even just drop in, I would high recommend CFBG!
I am so grateful for this gym. I searched for the perfect crossfit box for months until I came across Big Guava. Since day one I was welcomed with open arms. They have personally helped me achieve my fitness goals. Just a great group of people from the coaches to all members I have come across. I love this place!!!
This gym is an eleven out of ten. As a member of this gym basically since it’s opening I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed with what you find at CrossFit Big Guava. They have quality, like new equipment maintained at the highest standard. Their facility is clean and bright with multiple bathrooms and a (new) shower! But most importantly you will also walk in to the most amazing group of people. The members are enthusiastic and inclusive. The coaches and owners are knowledgeable and friendly, never letting anyone walk by without a personal greeting and a smile. All ages, genders, races and skill levels welcome and wanted. So come on in. I’ll see you there!
This place is amazing! The best CrossFit gym in the Tampa area!! Community is so welcoming for drop ins like me!! Really amazing set up!! Don’t go to any other CrossFit gym this is your spot! Coach’s are instructional and work with every athlete no one is ever left out!
CrossFit Big Guava is more than a gym. It’s a whole community. The coaches are always helpful, caring, and encouraging! They go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and to make every workout safe. The members at the gym become friends so easily because of the atmosphere that the coaches have created. I’ve never felt more supported and motivated at a gym than I do every time I walk into CFBG.
Did a drop in today and from the tall gentleman at the front desk, to the athletes, and the coaches I felt a warm welcome from the first minute I arrived. Great atmosphere for all levels of athletes. The owner has competed in and you have athletes just feminine their fitness journey. The facility is spacious and has all equipment needed. They even have a gorgeous members lounge that allows for showers and social events that is unlike any I’ve seen in my travels.They don’t just do CrossFit here, that have barbell classes, weight loss counseling, nutrition programs, personal training, protein shakes and nutritional supplements!! Highly recommend this place and know they will get you in the best shape of your life!!!
CrossFit Big Guava is amazing, from the second you walk through the threshold of the front door you are welcomed home. Whether you come from another box or its your first time trying to fitness, the coaches and the community welcome you and try their best to enhance your fitness to the highest level. The community and the fitness exceed all expectations of what you think a gym is about. The gym is full of stellar athletes and coaches and I couldnt imagine being anywhere else to achieve my fitness as well as my personal goals. Thank you Big Guava for making every day so amazing!
I did a photo shoot at Big Guava and had so much fun. This is a great CrossFit box owned by a group of friends that are all passionate about CrossFit. This box is a group of members that make you feel right at home the minute you walk in the door. If I lived close to Big Guava I would definitely join the family.
This gym is amazing! As someone who entered CrossFit Big Guava having no idea what I was doing I have never been more welcomed and encouraged! This community is the best! The coaches are so knowledgeable and friendly. They work with every person there so no one is left out. Whether you are a beginner like me or a veteran you can find a home here. See you there!
Nice staff, great amenities and amazing classes. Fees are also very affordable. Highly recommended!
CrossFit Big Guava has some of the best coaches in all of Florida. I visit hundreds of CrossFit gyms all over the country. The coaches here are fun, inviting, encouraging and the most knowledgeable that Ive seen. Whether you are brand new or a veteran - There is something here for everybody. You can be competitive or go for general health and nutrition, they literally cater to everybody.
Big Guava is my go-to gym in the Tampa area! Exceeds expectations. Great set-up, clean facility, high quality equipment that is well maintained. The coaches are enthusiastic and genuinely want to help you reach your fitness goals. They have put a lot of thought into the space- they offer a wide selection of drinks and snacks, recovery equipment, apparel and countless personal touches that really set this gym apart. They welcome all skills levels- from those just starting out to competitors, you will get a great workout in at Big Guava. I always look forward to working out at CFBG when I’m in town!
Great gym! Fantastic facility. Lots of space with top notch equipment and they work so hard to keep it very clean. Owners are some of the best people you will ever meet. Very committed to building a fitness community and helping athletes of all levels improve their health. Programming is really solid and coaches are all effective at running classes, improving technique, and helping folks scale.I have been doing crossfit since 2011 and you will simply not find a better gym. Cannot recomend highly enough.
Just recently moved to Tampa and was in need of a new CrossFit community. Searched the area, went to probably 10 or so boxes and BG was by far the best for what I was looking for. I have been going just over one month now and it feels like home, everyone is friendly and the workouts are nasty (in a good way).
This is a great planet fitness. Well kept and friendly staff. Very large area. Maybe one of the biggest ones Ive been to. Not all the newest machines but they are all working and clean. Will definitely be going here when Im in town.
I recently relocated to Tampa in April for the Air Force and I was recommended to go to this gym by one of my friends in Texas. From the beginning Instagram message to my first day into this gym...I have felt so welcomed. The facility is amazing, the athletes are very nice, and the coaches are knowledgeable, experienced, and in my opinion all around awesome. Love the community feel of this box. Right off the back I could sense the owner truly takes pride in his gym, the members, the coaches, and the growth of the box as a whole. Ive been a member at many CrossFit gyms around the world and Im going to add this box to my list of top CrossFit gyms. If you want an awesome CrossFit experience either a newby or drop-in you will not be disappointed. I actually want to stay in Tampa now because of this box. :)
Great gym with wonderful coaches, members and energy. Classes are hard, but scalable to any level. Music is great, the atmosphere is motivating and welcoming! You cannot leave the place without feeling amazing!
I am a new Guava and I absolutely love it. I love the environment, the coaches and everything about the workouts. They get the best out of every person in every workout and whether its your first time in a gym or you switched from another gym, everyone is unbelievable supportive. Soso thankful!
Highly highly HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone both local and visiting the Tampa area. There’s not a bad thing to say about this gym. The gym is clean, equipment is top of the line, plentiful, and well-maintained, and most importantly, the coaching staff and programming is top notch. The coaches care about each and every member and helping them to improve each day. On top of all of this, the community of members is one of the best you’ll find. The energy during class is second to none. 10/10 recommend.
I dropped in on a class here during my trip back home for the holidays, and they could not have been more kind and welcoming. The coach for the class knew that I was a drop in, went out of his way to greet me when I arrived, and made me feel extremely comfortable. It can be intimidating to work out away from home in a new gym with people you dont know- but the coaches and the group at CrossFit Big Guava really made it easy. I will definitely return!
Dropped in while in town for work. Really nice facility that’s really open. Gym is fairly new so the equipment is in great shape. Cool lounge and outside areas as well. The coaches and owners were super friendly and the programming and instruction was spot on. Be sure to drop in if you’re in the area!
As someone new to Crossfit and gym life I was a little intimidated. Im so happy I choose big guava. From day 1 everyone was so welcoming and supportive. The coaches are very attentive and welcoming of all different fitness levels. I have now been there 11 months and am shocked at how much Ive accomplished. This place truly is a community and such a great place to continue your fitness goals.
Dropping into CrossFit Big Guava was an easy process that lead to a fantastic workout. The coaches were inviting, responsive to answering questions about their class times, and approachable when I got to the gym. They made sure that I knew where everything was at and went over the workout for everyone before starting the warm up. Ill definitely be stopping by the next time Im in town.
This gym is amazing! It has very knowledgeable couches that practice what they preach and are very kind individuals. The members at this gym are also extremely welcoming and fit. Also the fact community loves to do outside events together.
Been going here for a few months now and love every second of it. Having never done CrossFit before, the coaches are so incredibly helpful, patient, and thorough. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive no matter your level of fitness. CFBG is a great place with great people.
Before joining CrossFit BG, I had been a member of 2 CrossFit Gyms in different states and dropped in at multiple others. CrossFit BG has provided me with an experience that is extremely unique compared to all of the other gyms. The facility, coaches and community are absolutely fantastic. The BG community consist of members of all skill types that are all welcoming and driven to become better. All of the coaches are friendly and highly experienced so they make sure youre coached up before they kick your a$$ in workout (honestly they are the best I have ever had). BGs facility has all the best equipment in a large warehouse space.Lastly as I mentioned above, the BG community has members of all skill types. BG 100% has the best workouts and the most competitive athletes I have seen in the Greater Tampa Bay Area. The coaches do a great job of making sure everyone can scale the workout if needed and nobody cares what you do unless youre working hard and having fun!
Awesome gym. When i first started here I was pretty new to CrossFit with some background in powerlifting. The coaches were awesome in getting me up to speed at any movement I was unfamiliar so I would be able to conduct the exercise with the correct form safely. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in CrossFit.
Fantastic facilities, welcoming environment and terrific programming for athletes of all skill levels. CFBG fosters an inclusive and diverse environment that allows you to not only reach your fitness goals but make friends and have a lot of fund along the way!!
Some of the best coaches Ive ever worked with. Always encouraging you do your best at your own pace and comfort level. Always with you making sure you are using proper form. Super welcoming to new people.Diverse, inclusive, clean gym. The owners really strive to look for ways to improve and seek members suggestions/opinions.❤️
I’ve been a member at Big Guava for about five months now and I couldn’t be happier, the community is amazing, the owners are all fun, approachable and welcoming. The programming always keeps the WODs fresh and challenging. Everyone there is positive and looking for everyone to succeed regardless of their fitness level. Overall, a great box to be a part of.
Awesome gym and and an amazing, supportive community! Going to class is easily one of the best parts of my day. Programming is great! Coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging during workouts. Facility is clean and the owners do an outstanding job with equipment maintenance and always making sure things are ready to go for class.
If you’re looking for the most supportive community for personal growth, look no further than Big Guava. I was so excited to see they opened up in my old neighborhood, so dropped in when I was in town for work and was met with so much warmth and kindness. The gym itself is incredible- clean, the best equipment, etc., but the community is what really sets them apart. I cannot wait to visit again!
Overall, Im very happy being a member here. The coaches and the people make it a great place to train. Ive been treated very well by everyone since I signed up 6 months ago. This box is well maintained and has a few class options.
This CrossFit gym is perfect. Its amazing for people of all abilities. There are many people who attend this gym who have been doing CrossFit for years who seem to like it very much! I, however, started as a beginner, knowing nothing of the workouts, terminology, or the technique of CrossFit. I was welcomed enthusiastically by all of the coaches as well as each of the attendees. I am praised, encouraged, and coached each day I show up!The gym itself is wonderfully run and maintained. Everything is clean and tidy. The equipment is in very good shape. There is always enough of everything for each class, no matter the size.I highly recommend this gym!
I highly recommend this gym! The coaches are amazing. They are all very knowledgeable and focused on teaching you the proper techniques of the movements. They do a great job at explaining and demoing the workouts. The workouts can be modified to your fitness level whether it be beginner or advanced. The gym itself is clean with new equipment. The CFBG community is the best always welcoming and encouraging. 5 stars!
This gym is so inclusive, welcoming, and supportive! I havent worked out in years and I saw Big Guava doing a New You program and decided to try it out. I instantly felt at home! This place is for everyone no matter what level fitness you are at! The coaches are amazing and they teach you, guide you, and motivate you!
If you’re looking for a CrossFit gym with a great sense of community and amazing workouts that will challenge you daily, then this is the perfect gym for you. I have yet to reach a plateau here and I find myself challenged every time I walk in. The coaches are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about every movement and take great pride in their gym. The people are friendly and you never feel out of place or uncomfortable with not knowing how to do a movement. The gym is clean and has all the equipment you would need and is always in great condition. The coaches love CrossFit and will make anyone else fall in love with it too.
Best CrossFit gym in the area hands down. Great coaches, positive atmosphere, and great music. If you are looking for a CrossFit gym in Tampa Big Guava is the place for you.
I came for 3 drop in sessions and wish I had time for more! The coaching staff was very friendly, supportive, and informative. I constantly felt uplifted while there by the coaches and the other athletes. The facility is very nice and unique, and I loved the family feel of the gym and it’s events. Highly recommend!
Nothing but great things to say about this gym. Intelligent/challenging programming, approachable coaches that care, clean facilities, the best equipment, good vibes, and undeniable results. If you have a sedentary desk job and crave some sort of physical release while turning off the brain for a bit, this is 1000% for you. No lie, working out at Big Guava is probably the best part of my day.
Big Guava is a cool facility with an even better community. Immediately upon entering we were greeted by the owners and other coaches. The gym is clean and has an urban vibe. The WOD was great and the coaches explained and demoed every movement in detail. You can really tell how much they care about their members and drop ins. Even during the workout they would personally (name included) cheer for you which always shows me that a box truly cares. Definitely will visit again when were in town!!
CF Big Guava is a new gym in the area. Everything is really nice and new. They didn’t spare any expense on equipment. It’s definitely a great atmosphere with friendly faces.Most importantly (to me), they have experienced coaches and the programming is perfect. I always feel motivated and accomplished after every workout!
Best CrossFit gym I’ve ever been to! From all fitness levels you are going to feel welcomed. The staff is friendly and they do a great job of motivating you. Equipment is sweet
I love CrossFit Big Guava!CFBG has a great atmosphere for all fitness levels. The community is growing and everyone is friendly and encouraging. The coaches are really attentive and take the time to teach you the right way to perform movements. I see people getting better everyday and it’s so motivating to be around.The gym itself is very nice with new equipment, a dedicated warm up room, and several workout areas for classes. I also really enjoy the programming. I’m so glad I signed up!
Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great facility.
I’ve been a member of four CrossFit gyms in Tampa over the last five years and officially staying put as there’s no place better than Big Guava.Initially I joined because it seemed like such a great community, per their social media posts. I couldn’t have been more right in my assumption.They put community first. They hold tons of events so members can get to know each other and spend time doing things together and the positive vibe doesn’t end at the coaches and owners... you feel it amongst the members. Everyone is so welcoming and positive. People are there to sweat and work hard, but they also want you to get just as much out of your experience too.The facility is super clean. The equipment is top notch. The coaches are attentive. The programming is tough but scaleable (just like it should be in CrossFit.)If you are knew to CrossFit give it a shot- they will make your experience safe and un-intimidating. If you are seasoned in the sport, you will have a GREAT time challenging yourself with loads of new friends!
I stopped in here while traveling through Tampa and really loved this place. The space is new and well equipped but more importantly, the coaches really know how to program. I had better workouts here in 3 days than Ive had in a long time. Highly recommend and wish I could attend this place more often.
I dropped in for a workout here on 3/29 and my experience was excellent. The coaches were very knowledgeable and completely demonstrated each movement of the workout for that day and gave several scaling options. The community was super friendly and welcoming and the gym itself was clean and very well organized. Id be happy to drop in again next time Im in the Tampa area.
I started at Big Guava 6 months ago and haven’t looked back! I travel a lot for work and even though my time there isn’t as consistent as I’d like whenever I walk through those doors it’s like I’ve never left. The coaches are well knowledgeable, more than helpful and have created such an inclusive and welcoming community. The CrossFit ego was something I was not looking forward to when deciding to start but you don’t see that here in anyone. When they say this is a family that is exactly what it is. If you’re interested in giving CrossFit a shot, start here. They are by far the best!
Six months ago, I walked into CFBG not knowing a single person or having done a work out at a CF affiliate ever before. Id spent years at various gyms/competing in athletics and was looking for something different, something to break through the traditional routines.What I got what so, so, so much more than I could ever ask for.Guys, if you want actual results -- like tangible, concrete results -- you are not going to find another place like this in Tampa. Whatever reservations you may have about CrossFit, I promise you, they will fade away minutes after walking into this place. Darren, Kristen, Tomas and Kate have create the perfect place for both the experienced and the new to hone their fitness in an atmosphere that is second to none. The people here are so positive and encouraging --they genuinely care about others and seeing them succeed.The programming is quite challenging --at times, you think impossible. However, if you decide to join and make efforts, the results you see are a hundred fold. The facilities are top-notch and the coaches are always looking to adapt and improve the quality, which is already outstanding.Seriously, you owe it to yourself to check this place out.
Crossfit Big Guava is a great gym! The coaches are super knowledgeable and run a great program, not to mention an awesome atmosphere and team-like morale. I highly recommend to anyone dropping in or just in the market for some fitness!
