CrossFit Virtue

I started August of last year and regret not starting sooner. Like most people, I was intimidated by Crossfit, but felt silly when I realized how welcoming everybody was. The coaches encourage you and want to see you succeed. Crossfit Virtue has become my second home. Not only do I do the WODs, but have since joined the weightlifting class and my 2 daughters are involved in Crossfit kids.

Started in October. I was at 24 hour fitness for the longest time and honestly haven’t been back. The comradely at crossfit virtue really drives you to be a better person physically and emotionally. Everyone is welcoming and it’s family friendly. I was very nervous about starting crossfit by all the negative things I’ve heard about it, considering I’ve had many injuries in my life, but the coaches modify all my workouts for MY body, which is awesome!

Crossfit virtue is the best gym I have ever been to! I’ve always gone to 24 hour fitness or fitness 19 but could never never motivate myself. All the coaches are amazing and super motivating and every gym member is very encouraging and friendly ! Best decision I’ve made is joining this gym !

Started doing crossfit two years ago, I was skeptical about signing up after hearing a lot of negative things about crossfit but decided to give it a try anyway. Needless to say I loved it! All the coaches and members are all very friendly and willing to help you learn proper form. Crossfit virtue became like a second family. If you’re thinking about giving crossfit a try this is the best place to do it. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Awesome place with great people! For those unfamiliar to Crossfit, this is a great gym to learn at. The coaching staff are certified in their trade and know what they are doing!

I came to CrossFit Virtue from another box and I am loving it. The people are friendly and welcomed me in right away. There are several coaches and all of them bring unique experience and instruction to my day to day workouts. I have learned a lot and my lifting has improved dramatically since I started attending just a couple of months ago. There are many class times available during the day and again, the people are amazing!

I used to be an avid 24 hour gym member. Always running on the treadmills and using the machines to work out my arms. What crossfit did for me in 6 months, I would’ve never accomplished at the regular gym in 2 years. Going to crossfit, I started seeing muscles I never knew I had, and realized the machines I used to use were really pointless. The coaches are all friendly, and what I love most about this box is they always emphasize on form. I used to look at crossfitters and think that will never be me, but once you try it you get hooked!

After 2 – 3 years at a local gym, I got very tired of the guesswork and monotony. Every day i found myself not sure on what to do and quickly losing interest. A friend recommended I give CrossFit a try, so I started researching local gyms. I visited a couple other boxes before CV and didn’t care much for the atmosphere because it felt like an over-​crowded boot camp. Walked into CV about 6 weeks ago, and was greeted by Dana with a warm smile and she instantly wanted to know my goals and what I knew about CrossFit. She scheduled me for my intro class, and from there I’ve been hooked on this place.
Staff and members are very friendly and supportive. Even with newbies like me, and you’ll always be cheered on to fight through the challenging workouts Scott, Eddie, Josh, and the other exceptional coaches lead. After 6 weeks at CV, I have already noticed improvement in my conditioning and build, and I am having fun while it’s happening.

Been coming to this gym for over two years. The coaches and other members are very welcoming. Unlike some gyms, members will come up and introduce themselves when new people come in. There are no egos here! The coaches are very patient with new members despite your abilities. And that Coach Eddie is one sexy beast!
But seriously, after spending two quality years at this gym, I can’t imagine going anywhere else. The people here have become family. They support you physically, mentally and most importantly spiritually!

I’ve fallen in love with Crossfit Virtue!
Before joining Crossfit Virtue, I was very out of shape and needed a gym and an environment that would keep me motivated. I was discouraged for a while to even try Crossfit, and as funny as it sounds, I felt like I needed to get into shape first before actually starting Crossfit. One word of advice is don’t make excuses and just start.
I’ve been actively doing Crossfit for about 7 months now and the progress I’ve seen is amazing. I do not think I would have seen this progress at any other gym or box, and it’s all thanks to this amazing place! The coaches here are awesome and all have a different style of coaching, members are all super friendly and encouraging, pushing one another to get through the workouts, and there is just the right amount of competitiveness which makes everything fun. I’ve been getting stronger everyday and making improvements in areas I never thought I’d excel in (For example, being able to now run a mile in less than 9 minutes is beyond amazing for me).
There’s classes throughout the day, so if you’re looking for a new gym/​box I highly recommend you check this place out! :) Don’t be discouraged if you’ve never lifted weights before or feel like you can’t keep up, because everyone needs to start somewhere and you will be amazed at the progress you will see.

Joined this gym through an intro. from Darkhorse Athlete. Gym is spacious and well organized, and has plenty of kettle bells, pull up bars, barbells, and weights for everyone. The coaches are great… there is a diverse mix of them, and each one has him/​her own style which makes each class different and enjoyable. The best thing I like about this gym is the atmosphere. There are a handful of people who are competitive and take this sport seriously. But there are also people who are doing it for their own goals (weight loss, strength improvement, etc). and that is recognized and respected by the members which makes for an environment which one can succeed. The gym is owned by a couple which makes it feel like a family.

Thought I was relatively in shape until I walked through Virtue’s doors. Prior to Virtue, exercises at my local 24s and apartment gym were increasingly mundane, futile; motivation was simply lacking or non-​existent. Fortunately, I checked out Virtue at my cousin’s behest. Happy to report after several months I (not my wife however) noticed a significant change in body composition, quicker metabolism, elevated sense of energy but most importantly, found a sense of (diverse) community.
All members were friendly, helpful, supportive… all vital for my low self-​esteem and propensity to cut myself.
Toasts to the staff for a clean box, great programming and environment.

I was growing dissatisfied with the shape I was in, so I began looking for something to help me make a change. I had considered CrossFit, but was intimidated. I had seen videos of workouts and thought there was no way I could do that.
Fortunately, I put those fears behind me and decided to give CrossFit Virtue a try.
The coaches at CrossFit Virtue are great, they demonstrate the movements and place emphasis on correct form. This was important to me as I was unfamiliar with most of the movements. The coaches are all supportive and genuinely care about the members.
The facility itself is clean and the equipment is newer and well maintained. There is also a play room for those who may have some little ones.
Lastly, the members at CrossFit Virtue are friendly, supportive and encouraging.
CrossFit Virtue is awesome! Come and check it out.

I just started Crossfit but have found my calling. Crossfit Virtue makes you feel at home from the first time you walk in the door. It truly feels like a family in there. Even my little kids come with me and watch or play in the play room. Everyone wants to help you get better and push yourself. Growing up on sports teams and having that team spirit is huge… and that is what you get here. The concept of «No Ego’s» is enforce. They focus on the basics before they turn you lose. Exactly how it should be.
Crossfit Virtue is super clean and 100% better than 24 hour fitness where you just stand and lift weights in the mirror. I could not have found a better place to start my Crossfit career!

I was athletic all my life & had a personal trainer for over a year, just wasn’t seeing results I was paying for. A friend recommended crossfit so I tried it out and now I’m HOOKED! After one month I noticed a huge difference. The people/​coaches are supportive, motivational, encouraging and just straight awesome!!! The workouts are tough some days but the people in your class make it better! Highly recommend crossfit and this box! Love crossfit virtue!!!
Ps morning classes rock!

This place is awesome! I have never tried crossfit until I joined this place. The coaches are very thorough in explaining and teaching everything here. You can tell they care about their members. Everyone here is very supportive and friendly. Not only are the coaches great but so are all the members. It seems as if it’s one big family here. After months of going, I have gained confidence, learned many new things, gotten results, and made new friendships. Definitely give Crossfit Virtue a try and drop by.

If your looking for a good work-​out try crossfit. If your looking for a good work-​out without being intimidated try crossfit virtue.
If your looking at this review, you’ve probably already done your research on crossfit and are just looking for a good gym. What I can tell you about crossfit virtue is that its like that great mom and pop restaurant that you go to every weekend. No pretentiousness, just a great workout with a positive family like atmosphere. The facility is clean, equipment is in great shape, and they even have a kids room for you parents out there. Come check it out, you won’t regret it.

The name speaks for itself. Virtue means having a high moral excellence. You can feel those high standards at this box. The people, especially the trainers make you feel welcome and will take the time to properly teach you the fundamentals. They treat the seasoned goer the same as the first timer.
The prices are reasonable and there are plenty of times to work around your schedule. They even have a kids room which I use all the time for my own kids. They feel comfortable there playing with the toys provided for them.
If you feel intimidated by the mere idea of crossfit, but want to try it out because of all the positive testimonials you’ve read about and/​or heard from others, this it THE place to try it out. I won’t sit here and tell you about my accomplishments, but I will say that the «virtuous» feeling you get at this box will inspire you to show up day in and day out. That dedication working with others and the trainers will be rewarded with time.
Try out Crossfit Virtue and you will be hooked!

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME. Crossfit and CrossFit Virtue has changed my life.
This past January (2013) I was overweight and just unhappy with my overall physical state. I been going to the gym by myself. I was running, doing stairs and lifting but not really knowing what I was doing. Plus going to the gym was a chore and I hated going.
Then one of my friend told me about Crossfit Virtue and Crossfit. At first I was very intimidated. I heard how hard and intense Crossfit was. I wasn’t fit in any sense of the word but at this point I decide I need a change in my life and was all in. So I signed up for a One month and my wonderful journey began.
First I met the wonderful Owners Dana and Scott who lead me through my first four fundamental classes. During these classes they went over all the movements with a emphasis on the CORRECT FORM. This is vital to preventing injuries and lifting more. I was instantly hook. Me someone who thought I hated working out now looked forward to my daily workouts. The 1 hr class is made up of: 1) Warmup — running, rowing to warm up 2) Stretching 3) Skill — this is usually aimed at getting you stronger at a certain lift or better at a certain skill 4) WOD– The workout of the day.

The things the drew me in were: 1) Structured classes — You don’t have to do any of the thinking, planning. You just have to go to class and commit to a hr. They have your workout planned out. 2) Fellow Crossfitters — This gym is made up of wonderful people. We all want to see each other improve and encourage each other. These people become your friends. 3) Improvement you can see and feel — I have now been going for 6 months. I have lost over 17lbs and gain a ton of muscle. I can now deadlift, snatch, clean and jerk, double unders, strict pullups, kipping pullups, toes to bar, box jump, etc… I am more confident in fitness and in myself.
This Box has a great community. We have gone golfing, had bbqs, worked out then got Korean bbq after. This shows how we enjoy being around each other and working out with people you enjoy being around makes working out fun and enjoyable. So Don’t be intimidated, come join us and get fit together.

I’ve been a long time supporter of my local 24hr Fitness in La Mirada for the past 4 years, while I feel healthy and all, I wasn’t content with my tire around my waist.
In comes Cross Fit.
For the past couple months, one of my friends kept emphasizing how Cross Fit changed his life. He explained the rigorous workouts he goes through every week, and I merely shrugged it off because I had my routine. While he was getting fit, my tire was staying in place. Jaded by this, I made the jump to sign up for the initial class at CrossFit Virtue.
Coach Scott handled the initial fundamental class that I was in. He was very thorough with the motions and corrected when necessary. By the end of the workout, I was sweating like a wiIdebeest and out of breath.
I can honestly say that I learned a lot just from my first session and I’m excited for my next class tomorrow.
CrossFit Virtue is perfect for my needs. Not too hard on the wallet (they’re running a grand opening promo deal $ 80/​month for the first three months) while getting my ass into beastmode. So if you’re looking to make that jump, I highly suggest giving CrossFit Virtue a shot.
