Thumbs up CrossFit is an excellent place to start your CrossFit journey. Wendy is the most amazing coach who dedicated her time in ensuring you feel like a part of the community. Additionally she ensures that you have the most professional training possible. I would give this place the time, and 530 am classes are the best!

Absolute great atmosphere! Friendly and credible experts, if youre traveling from out of town or Tampa resident, definitely need to check this place out! Double Thumbs up for CrossFit Thumbs Up!

Really great gym with skilled coaches who are also attentive during workouts. They give direction for improvement and are also motivating. It’s a huge space and great it’s a family friendly gym with childcare offered. I never worked out before joining this gym 2 years ago. Joining Primal Empowerment has helped change my life in terms of fitness and nutrition. Plus, these owners made it possible for us to stay connected with online workouts via zoom keeping us accountable to our fitness and connected as a community. So glad I made the choice to join this group.

The coaches and the facility are amazing, and everyone feels welcome. No drama, just amazing results from a great gym.

I have been going to Primal Empowerment for almost two years now and love this gym! Coaches and members are very welcoming and encouraging! They do a great job focusing on the fundamentals and help to push you in reaching your goals. They also do a great job of planning and hosting events to bring people together, outside of the gym. Cant say enough good things!

Wonderful gym and owners! I was intimidated about starting crossfit but everyone was nothing but encouraging and welcome from the start. Great positive place to work out. My only regret is that I didnt start sooner.

If you are new to the area or new to Crossfit this is a great place to start! The coaches are awesome! So knowledgable and kind. The members are welcoming and encouraging. If you are an experienced Crossfitter and looking for a home, this is a perfect place for you too! When the pandemic hit, this gym really stepped up for their members. Allowing us to borrow equipment, setting up multiple ZOOM classes daily, and really thinking about the best ways to keep us connected. We now have a cooking class, a mobility class and a cocktail class every week on ZOOM that we all look forward to and helps bring us together. This gym doesnt just help you with the physical aspects of your health, they do whatever they can to help and inspire the community they have created. Come check it out, you wont be disappointed.

Great coaches, great programming, nice people. The coaching is on point and thorough. You can tell they care about members’ well being by ensuring safety and avoiding injury through proper form and scaling. They also offer Crossfit kids, barbell club, yoga, and have childcare during certain class times. Oh and a new infrared sauna!

I have been involved with CrossFit for over 6 years now and I can say without a doubt this is the cleanest most spacious gym I have been to. Not only are the trainers awesome but the importance they place on improving nutrition is an added bonus! Best gym dog in Tampa Bay too! Snarf 4 life!

I dropped in to do the open 19.2 workout and the owner was super friendly and personally judged me. He didnt charge me for dropping in my 1st time and the staff and attendees were very welcoming! They have a huge space so lots of room with high ceilings, great coaches and equipment.

Dropped in on a Saturday while in town and was so glad we did! Everyone at the box was incredibly kind and friendly. Facilities were great - would highly recommend!

Best atmosphere I’ve found in Tampa. The coaches and the facility are amazing, and everyone feels welcome. No drama, just amazing results from a great gym.

I love coming to working out here! Great coaches and always a great workout! If you are looking for a place that will motivate you to push yourself harder and meet your fitness goals, this is the place!

I have been going to Primal Empowerment - CrossFit Thumbs Up for almost three weeks now and I love it. Jared and Lauren are great coaches and are willing to go that extra mile to help you out and answer questions. Im new to CrossFit but not once was I made to feel unwelcomed. In fact, there is a very strong team spirit and everyone is super encouraging. For example, this past Monday I was one of the slower people to finish the workout, but two members who had completed the workout already, waited outside for me to finish the last sprint while shouting out encouragements.I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone no matter if you are brand new to working out or an experienced and accomplished CrossFit athlete.

The coaches are there to motivate you every step of the way! This CrossFit gym makes everyone feel welcomed and they thrive on making a great community with the memebers.

I love this gym!! I have been a member for about a year now and Its has been nothing but fantastic. The coaches are knowledgable and the classes are fun and intense. Very welcoming atmosphere!

I have been with this gym for years! They are always about making people feel comfortable, creating great relationships, and promoting not only an exercise routine but a healthy lifestyle. If you are looking for a crossfit gym or even in town for a few days, this place is worth checking out! It is important to note that they also offer things besides crossfit, like Olympic lifting classes, nutrition coaching, yoga, and workouts specifically for new mothers.

I love working here! We have a servants heart and practice what we preach. We hope to provide a fun gym experience and want to help you get the results you are looking for. #GetPrimalTampa

Jared and Lauren (the owners) are very friendly and knowledgeable. They are passionate about the gym and it shows. Highly recommend.

The coaches, Lauren and Jared, are awesome. Friendly and intelligent at correct form. Classes are intense and fun!

I started at Crossfit Thumbs Up in September of 2012. Ive found it to be a great environment where I can get fit and have fun doing it! The coaches Jed and Jared give everyone personal attention to make sure youre doing the work outs correctly. Also I felt very welcomed into the group when I joined. Everyone is there to push each other to do their best and cheer each other on. Ive done boot camps and personal training in the past but Ive seen the best results from Crossfit Thumbs Up by far. Its challenging not only physically but also mentally. You walk away from every work out feeling like youve really accomplished something. If youre like me and need a supportive group of people pushing you to get a great work out, Crossfit Thumbs Up is definitely a great place to do that.

Great space, low stress, not crowded, very welcoming owners. Love it!

Ive been a member of Crossfit Thumbs up now for about 5 months and crossfit in total for about 7 months. There is nothing like it, and Jared and Jed do an excellent job of training, coaching and motivating everyone that comes to the box for a workout. The members are a great bunch of people that share a common bond of getting fit and wanting everyone to succeed. No matter how young or old, elite athlete or just starting, man or woman, weak or strong: every walk of life is accepted and encouraged. You will see gains you never thought possible or forgot how possible they were. If youre thinking of trying crossfit or just getting in better shape and your in the South Tampa area, Crossfit Thumbs Up is a great place to get fit and create a fitness home.

It has a great, inviting, CrossFitty environment. :-)

Great atmosphere, energetic members, knowledgeable trainers!
