Hardware CrossFit

I was in town for work and dropped in twice earlier this week. The staff and members were very welcoming, and the box (facility, equipment, organization of the space, etc.) was in great shape. Both classes that I dropped in on were well run — group warm-​up and movement prep was organized and structured. As for the programming, looking back at the preceding days before my drop in days, I could tell that there was a lot of thought put into each new WOD with respect to the WOD’s from the previous days — good variety of movements throughout the week and complementary movements within a WOD.

I have been a member here for almost a year and I love it! The owners, George and Jess, are so welcoming to everyone and really good at what they do. All of the trainers are very knowledgeable and helpful, no matter what your skill level is.

Working out at Hardware Crossfit is often the best part of my day and has been for the past two years. Not only are the coaches knowledgeable, focused on safety and technique, but also fun, full of personality and can easily manage a class, no matter the size. The facility is awesome. It’s really spacious and the equipment is in great shape. George and Jess, the owners, are always updating and looking for new ways to keep workouts fresh and fun and the gains, well, gaining.
My body and confidence have totally changed in the last two years. I am doing things I never thought I could do in the gym but it has also extended to my life outside of the gym. What makes this gym so special is the community itself. It’s the most supportive group of people I have been around and they genuinely want everyone to succeed. The members and the coaches together make this a truly special place

Super nice place. George the owner and main trainer is very knowledgeable and supportive. He is very professional and makes sure that you don’t injure yourself on the first days. Place is very clean and there plenty free parking. They are supportive if you have kids and members and very friendly. A great environment overall. Workouts are fun, and productive.

I really love these guys. Great instructors. Great neighborhood folks. Everyone is having fun and working hard. I came in pretty worried about a back injury and everyone has been so careful and mindful of helping me stay safe while making sure I still get a good kick in the butt. Grade pro coaches who are all really warm and inspire a lot of confidence.

The coaches at hardware are the most knowledgable, patient, and generous with their time. Owen is particularly wonderful. I am trying to maintain my works outs as much as I can during my pregnancy and Owen is always providing feedback, helpful substitutions, and great resources. Hardware CF is a wonderful community. I HIGHLY recommend to all.

I’ve been attending the standard one-​hour sessions, 3 – 5 times a week for six months. My back and legs are stronger than they’ve ever been, and my cardiovascular fitness is as good as it’s been since high school.
Most importantly, Hardware has motivated me to make physical activity a part of my daily life. I feel and look better than I did six months ago and it’s in large part due to the capable and supportive Hardware staff, and all the other gym members. I look forward to many more months of serious workouts.

Hardware CrossFit is plain fantastic. I think a lot of people get nervous before trying something new. I had heard CrossFit was all meat-​heads, and I was a little nervous but determined to check it out. I joined in the spring as chubby and out of shape as I’d been in a while. Not once did I feel judged or uncomfortable. The people who work out here are friendly and diverse.
Even better, the caliber of instruction is excellent. No matter what your skill level, every workout begins with the instructor reviewing with everyone how to safely complete each move. They also approach you on an individual level to learn about your goals and offer personalized steps on how to get there.
If you’re interested in checking out CrossFit, I really couldn’t recommend this gym (or ‘box’ as we call it) more!

I simply can’t say enough positive things about this place, but I’ll try:
George and Jess have created an atmosphere that makes working out fun, informative, social, very rewarding, and competitive (if you want it to be).
I joined Hardware in January 2013, and since then my attitude and approach to fitness and exercise has changed completely. I work harder — and feel more accomplished — during some of our warm ups than I ever did while working out on my own.
What you’ll get from Hardware is an opportunity to take pride in the work you do at the gym, instead of just enduring it. You’ll find your strengths, crush your weaknesses, and do it all with the help of two awesome coaches, and encouragement from an amazing group of members.

Hardware is amazing! My fiancée and I joined a few weeks ago and we look forward to it every time we go! Instructors are very personable outgoing and knowledgeable. The people in the classes are wonderful to learn with as well. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. Coming from someone who benches 35lbs when I started and another who is not fond of group fitness, we were not easy people to win over. If anyone is looking for a great way to get in shape and have fun doing it, Hardware CrossFit is the place to be!

I took advantage of an introductory class offer here and it was awesome! The team was really good at starting at a basic level, but still making the workout challenging for people who want to take it to the next level! They were genuinely positive without sounding patronizing, and clearly want everyone to improve their fitness no matter where they are starting from. I highly recommending checking this place out!

I used to belong to a cheap, standard gym. It was okay, but I got really bored of doing the same exercises on old equipment-​I reached a plateau in my training. When I saw that Hardware Crossfit was only 2 blocks away from me, I decided to try it out. I booked a free session with George and it was so fun, I ended up joining. I now go 3 times a week and my fitness level has dramatically increased. Let me summarize some important points:
–George, the owner and trainer is fantastic. He is super friendly, really knowledgable about each exercise. He really gets the best out of everybody.
–The exercises are always varied. You will improve on total strength (via olympic lifting movements) and in cardio fitness. 10 minutes of this class works me harder than 1 hour at my previous gym.
–The classes are smaller than a typical gym-​everyone knows each other and are super friendly. This social element is encouraged-​it really helps when others are cheering you to go on during a tough workout.
If you want to get fitter than you ever have been in your life, get yourself down to Hardware Crossfit!

That was it! I was tired of the over crowded Cheetah gym, where I wouldn’t do more socializing that working out, I was also unsure of how to push my self to my next fitness level without paying crazy amounts for personal training. That’s when friend told me about Hardware Crossfit.
Getting in touch with them and scheduling a first workout was painless — the e-​mail communication was fast prompt and on the spot. After it was done nobody there tried to sell me a membership or get me to join. Me, without being able to catch my breath I was told «Hope to see you soon!». This is one reason why I joined. I went there the second (was not offered a membership again) and the third time — and that’s when I decided to join!
The staff is VERY supportive of you and dedicated to you succeeding in your fitness. They would even customize the workouts for you! Every timeI have e-​mailed them or asked them a question I was given a prompt answer!
What really got me to write this review is when George (the owner) came to me today and asked me… «What kind of performance goals are you looking to achieve and how can I help?»
Spot on! #tryingtolookgoodinatanktop #summerisnear

I’ve always been a multi-​sport athlete, but unfortunately arthritis of the knees got the best of me. I’ve tried swimming, biking, yoga, but none of these activities gave me the «high» I was looking for. I never thought I’d be able to do crossfit, but George and Jess make sure that each move and lift is done safely and with correct form.
This gym is clean with friendly coaches and members. And they have showers which is a plus!
