Just starting out and very self-conscious. This place is very friendly, judgement free, and family friendly. They did not even bat an eye when I said I have three kids I have to bring with me. The answer wasnt do you have childcare but bring them, as long as they dont cause an uprising theyre cool!
This place is the absolute best. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. Even if you have never lifted or done anything before, they will make you feel right at home and help you start. Everybody needs to start somewhere. I definitely recommend coming here.
Everyone was very nice and accommodating. All levels and ages. The gym is large and caters to all. I really enjoyed my time. Thanks Paige! 😁
What an amazing gym! Super knowledgable staff, Clean facility, Welcoming community. If youre looking for a place thatll change youre life for the better, CrossFit Rife is the place. Youll learn how to live a longer, healthier life, all the while by being supported by other like minded people.
Ive been attending CrossFit Rife for two years now and joining is one of the best decisions Ive ever made. The coaches are fantastic! I love Rife so much I only wish Id joined sooner. I am a much healthier version of myself, both physically and nutritionally thanks to Rife. The staff and other members are a second family to me; going to the gym is my favorite part of my day. Mid-corona closure I miss it so much, but this time is a great example of what makes Rife amazing- theyve done everything they can to ensure that we can all stay connected and on track through this time. If youre considering checking them out, definitely do!
Been a member here for 2 years now and I cant recommend it enough! The people are amazing. The staff is phenomenal. Ive learned so much from them. Its always like personal training in a group setting. This is my happy place. Never a bad time here, even when the workout gets the best of me. 🤭
Great gym, great coaches, great culture
Great programming. Great coaching. Great community. Clean facilities.If youre looking for a competitive atmosphere with some top notch athletes, this is the place for you. I tried three local gyms and none of them gave me everything I wanted... until I tried out Rife.As soon as I walked in I was immediately welcomed by the coaches, athletes, and the owner. I got a sit down of my goals and experience and then it was off to the races.I cant tell you how awesome this place is. It might seem a little pricey comparatively, but trust me its worth every penny.
I was in town for a business trip and hit two classes. CF Rife was recommended by a coach of mine and I was not disappointed. The coaches were very welcoming, gave me great pointers and meet me where I was at. If I’m ever in the area again I would come back.
Fern and his team are top notch!! Amazing Coaching staff and energetic atmosphere. They also have a fantastic barbell club based here, Phil is a phenomenal weightlifting coach! His knowledge of human movement assisted me in recovering from an injury while improving my lifting technique!! The best gym in Hampton Roads! So thankful to be a part of this awesome place!!
What sets Rife apart from all the other gyms is the consistency of high-quality coaching and professionalism with every single class.They know their stuff, and will prescribe the appropriate progressions for any skill level. Pair that with the support of the members and its easily the best hour of your day.Definitely the most clean and organized CrossFit box Ive ever been to, theyre super welcoming and genuinely strive to get you moving better every day. Absolutely worth the investment!
Jason and Jessica have established a top-notch environment. His knowledge and patience as the head coach (and CrossFit HQ Level 1 Seminar Staff) enables the classes to run efficiently and cater to the varying strengths of all the members. Jason teaches and retains skilled coaches. Jessica coaches as well, but also offers thorough personalized guidance on nutrition. Together, they have created the most well-rounded CrossFit gym in Hampton Roads.
Ive been at CrossFit Rife for over 4 years now. From day one, everyone from the coaching staff to the members have provided a supportive and encouraging environment. Not only have I found myself in better shape in my mid 30s than at any other point in my life but I have made some amazing friendships. Over the years my health and fitness goals continue to change and the coaching staff at Rife is fantastic at helping to set set me up for success for each and every goal I set. They strive to provide you all the tools necessary and with an attentive and knowledgeable staff I truly feel I have everything I need to attain my goals.
I joined 1 month ago. After years of not taking great care of myself i was at 317lbs. NOT GOOD! I am now at 299lbs and falling. I feel better than i have in years! I really appreciate that every workout is closely monitored by some really great coaches, and you never feel like your left alone on an island. Any question ive had about fitness or nutrition has been answered with some great info. I would highly recommend CrossFit Rife!! Highly...recommend
Rife is run by the nicest people. I joined through a friend but was wary because of what I had heard in the past about Crossfit and was awesomely surprised Rife is much different. It’s not just run by great people, but the members are just as friendly.The kids class is also great on top of all the extended offerings Rife offers like nutrition help & training. I have nothing but great things to say about this place.
This April marks my 1 year being a member at Crossfit Rife. I moved here out of state and knew all the gyms would have similar equipment but the coachs profiles/experience led me to give Rife a try. I knew soon after that the coaches are excellent, friendly, and fun. They consistently motivate the athletes to be better, stronger, but always puts safety first. The members are welcoming, and I feel amazing completing each WOD. You must have the motivation to be your best, and Rife gives you the support to get there.
Great place to learn new skills, polish established ones, and have a good time working out hard! The staff here helped me change my lifestyle completely so that I feel better and stay that way. Awesome coaching and facilities.
I could never say enough good things about this gym. It has truly become my second home and everyone is like family. If you are thinking about taking the leap and starting Crossfit, come check out Rife, I promise you wont regret it!
As a member of the weightlifting team it was really cool being so welcomed into the gym. The energy and atmosphere is contagious. All of the coaches are incredibly knowledgable and make sure the athletes are moving properly and with good form.
Ive been a member at Rife for 3 years now. The Coaches and owners are exceptional people who support and guide your journey through fitness. The care and concern for their athletes is unparalleled. The people who attend the classes here are welcoming and supportive. All ages and abilities are represented, and this judgement free space is a conduit for support and encouragement. I came as a customer, and now I feel like Im part of this dynamic and friendly environment. Its where I come to get enrichment for my body and soul. If you decide to attend, youll be making one of your best decisions and taking the first step to an extraordinary life.
I have been a member at Rife for 4 years. The coaches are like no other. They give you the tools to better yourself physically and mentally. The Ferns have built an amazing motivational community under this roof and Im so thankful to be a part of it.
This is my let lose, stress free, be me & sweat place! Whatever time of day I go, I am welcomed by highly engaged coaches who get me, its priceless. Try the #rifelife, you wont regret it!
Very knowledgeable coaches & great community of people. I look forward to coming into workout every morning. Also, love the daycare aspect of the gym.
Absolutely love this gym and all the coaches. The programming is legit, the coaches are very knowledgeable, all athletes are great, and the atmosphere is awesome. The best gym in Hampton Roads.
Switched over to crossfit rife a few weeks ago after moving to the area and having it recommended to me by a friend. The coaches and gym itself are top notch and Im very happy I chose this gym!
Instructors are great, work outs are scaled down for the newer athletes, big open gym area. Great place to start crossfit! Highly recommend.
The entire gym has made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. It does not matter what level you are currently at, they always tailor the workout to fit your needs that day. Great coaches and great members who cheer everyone on.
I walked in and was immediately greeted by the owner, Jason, who was happy to sit and chat. As a newcomer to crossfit, all the coaches have been friendly and eager to teach me.
I just dropped in. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable, the good size gym. Lots of cool people.
Great environment, really friendly and helpful coaches. Perfect gym for anyone interested in Olympic weightlifting or cross fit at any level!
Moved back home after 5 years in Blacksburg at Virginia Tech. The last year I was there I workout at Trebel Fitness and CrossFit and loved it, but when I moved back to Virginia Beach I wasnt sure if Id find a gym with people as welcoming and caring. I tried a few gyms around the area, but there is not a gym that is even close to the quality and great community that you can get at CrossFit. From the first day I stepped in the doors it was clear that Fern (the owner), the staff, and all the members were happy to have me there. It makes all the difference in the world when you can come to a gym and feel welcomed and cared about but also know that they will push you to be better than you were yesterday. My mom also joined having no CrossFit experience at all and is loving it. Even my dad is going to join soon! Coaches are incredibly knowledgable and have blown me away with how helpful they are and able to correct form. They truly can work with anyone from the most experienced crossfitter to the obese person who is fighting to get healthy and live a great life. I am very thankful to have found Rife and am excited to hopefully call this my home gym for a long time!
I love Rife! Been going for 3 months now and the coaches & atmosphere are great !!! 2 thumbs up (:
The best training in the area. Highly recommend.
I love the community at CrossFit Rife. I have felt welcome since day 1. Come join the fun!
Great management and staff... Very friendly and welcoming
Great facility, coaches, and community of people. Definitely recommended for anyone experienced in or new to CrossFit.
Great coaches, friendly and knowledgeable.
Home away from home.
