Concourse CrossFit

The head coach Adan and the programming he creates is excellent, however, I wasn’t as thrilled with the facilities.
It has everything you expect from a box and as a nice bonus you get a full membership to coast fitness. Considering it costs less than the other boxes in the area makes, it’s very good value.
The workout area is open air with a nice fake grass field adjacent to it which is a refreshing change but it also comes with its downsides. Due to being exposed to the elements a lot of the equipment seems to degrade quickly. The sun gets into your eyes and sometimes it’s too hot/​cold, especially during the summer. The main workout area used to be a parking lot and it wasn’t smoothed out before putting the rubber mats over it. It can often be annoying or even dangerous when you’re trying to do box jumps on uneven ground. The main shed where the equipment is stored is extremely cramped, it’s really terrible. It creates a bottleneck for getting equipment and even getting a box out of it without falling over is a workout. It really needs to be larger for the amount of equipment it has.
On the whole, it’s not too bad and I would recommend it over other boxes in the area at least for its value. While the storage area is cramped, it gives you a little extra workout trying to get a barbell out while you shimmy between two rowers. Box jumps on uneven ground are also more challenging, obviously. These are all things that could be fixed in the future more investment in the facility.

Best Crossfit gym in the South Bay. Programming is great. People are great. The coaches, Keenan and Adan, are great. This place is turning me into a mutant beast.

4 things that I must share with you about concourse crossfit coming from a mother of 3. I’ve been going here now for a month after coming from another box, and I have only positive things to share.
1. There’s a Kids club!!! Parents can drop off their children at kids club which is only $ 10 a month per child, and go get their WOD on worry free. You get 2 hours each day and you wont go broke! $ 10 A MONTH.
2. Membership is competitive to other boxes. If you have crossfitted before then you will feel the savings coming here, especially if you have kids. See above and below…
3. full access to coast fitness gym, locker room, gym classes, hot yoga, hydro massage, juice bar etc with crossfit membership.
4.This place is awesome and so are all the fellow cross fitters. The head coach has a great program and utilizes sugar wod so we can keep track of our work outs. Everyone talks to each other and they love to joke around, it has a family feel to it and everyone fits right in.
If you are new to crossfit or coming from another box, this is definitely a place to check out.

Concourse Crossfit is one of the premier Crossfit boxes in SoCal. In this review I will endeavor to give an unbiased, customer experience based review of the business. So here goes…
1. Coaches — The coaches are both knowledgeable and experienced. Oftentimes in the crossfit/​fitness world coaches attempt to use standardized methods to get tailored results. This is the exact opposite at Concourse. While most attendees will begin with a standard workout/​weight etc the coaches take pride in being keenly aware of one’s fitness level. Lets face it, everybody is not Rich Froning or Camille LeBlanc-​Bazinett. Thats ok. The coaches here continually assess your fitness level, push you to be better but not at the sacrifice of proper form or safety. There are currently three coaches at the box.
2. Classes — Concourse offers a myriad of times to attend. On weekdays classes are held 6am, 9am, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm and 7pm. These classes fit most (if not all) normal work schedules. On Saturdays, the classes are at 9am only (and is usually followed by an unscheduled open gym)
3. Programming — Absolutely AMAZING. DOn’t get me wrong, the programming is very difficult, but sticking with it will undoubtedly yield RESULTS! Admittedly there are some days when I attend and just don’t have the «juice.» Nevertheless, the Coaches will suggest/​recommend (or depending how stubborn you are… direct) you to scale weights/​exercises to maintain proper form, posture, technique and most importantly SAFETY. The box uses the app «SugarWOD» to post/​track workouts through the week. Unlike some gyms… these workouts are meticulously planned weeks in advance and not just haphazardly thrown together. Everything is done with a purpose in mind… even the warm up.
4. Community — This is by far the best reason to join any CrossFit Box… especially Concourse. The community is AMAZING! Lets face it, sometimes working out SUCKS!!! Nobody wants to be in #beastMode all the time… well at least most people. Having a community of people who come from all walks of life and represent all skill levels is great. The members at Concourse are not just athletes, they are a family.

Loving this place, the people, the programming, the coaching, the facilities. I travel a bit for work and have been to CF boxes in WA to the UK, NY to HI, and a bunch of spots in between. Concourse is special and unique. I’ll attempt to explain why I believe this to be true. Then, if you want to feel it out a bit more, you can make up your own mind by trying it out yourself.
This review is grounded in and drawn from reasonably extensive experience, as opposed to Unilocal reviews you read occasionally featuring a one-​time user who had an extremely positive or an extremely negative – in either case not-​to-​be-​generalized – experience. The importance of a longer-​term point of reference arguably and especially holds true for experience-​type services like CrossFit, where safety, connection, community, and consistent results are absolutely key to achieving and exceeding your goals.
So, drawing on my experience (a) with [head coach] Adan’s programming and/​or instruction over the past two years and (b) more recently, as a member at Concourse since its opening in 2014, I’ll highlight three things at Concourse that I’ve found differentiating, compelling and reasons to thankfully call this box my home:
1. Coherent, periodized, intelligent programming: The programming here is thoughtful, evidence-​based and gets results. And the proof is in members’ results: Consistent PRs in both benchmark WODs, skills, and barbell work. PRs are not unique to Concourse, of course, but if you study the programming (through Concourse’s website), you’ll get a better appreciation of what this PR-​pursuit looks like on a day-​to-​day basis and a more concrete sense of why the focused programming has been and continues to be key to improving strength, skills, engines and endurance at Concourse. One day at a time. One week at a time. I can’t say enough about the programming here. Everyday and across days, the programming is coherent, intentional and focused.
2. Friendly, inviting, committed and amazing members and coaches: Every CF box feels (or at least most boxes feel) their members are the best. The community and diversity at Concourse (new members and longstanding CFers) is a beautiful part of and reason for the culture and positive climate. Down-​to-​earth, welcoming and real cats. A beautiful thing.
3. Quality equipment and one-​of-​a-​kind facilities (particularly in relation to other CF boxes): Your CF membership includes access to the shop. You have to see to believe and fully appreciate. Unlike any box you’ve been to.
Again, loving this place, the people, the programming, the coaching, the facilities. If this sounds to you like a place worth checking out, hope to see you soon!

One of the best crossfit programming. Workouts «suck» (in a good way) but they are fun & always challenging. You’ll always be pushed & maxed; you’ll see your self grow & potential pushed to higher limits; great people who are fun to be around-​being motivated, pushed, & challenged by on a Daily basis no matter your fitness goals or purpose of training. Awesome outdoor/​indoor facility to train & tan at the same time.

Great Facility and Community, and dynamic programming! The amenities here include a locker room, showers, massage tables, hot tub, and most importantly, a SAUNA. The programming is very unique and specific to the style of coaching at Concourse. There is always a mix of Olympic lifting strength cycles, griddy crossfit chippers, gymnasty strength progressions, and cardio/​endurance wods. The community is very supportive when it comes to knowing your limits and at the same time pushing you to that «dark place» we all know and love.
The outdoor box is amazing with everything it provides. If at any time weather is too bad, there’s an inside crossfit area so classes are never cancelled. Drop in for one class and you will be stoked.

Great atmosphere, great coaching, awesome programming, and great community!
All levels welcome!

I love Concourse CrossFit!!! The Owner, Adan, is an incredible coach/​trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable about weight lifting and fitness in general. His programming is top notch and his work outs are challenging but manageable and you can totally see your body changing and your strength increasing after a short period of time. I followed Adan from his previous employer because his programming was so wonderful. I was recently pregnant and continued to work out with Adan up until the end of my 8^th month. Adan was knowledgeable and able to help me adapt my work out so I could continue to exercise around my growing stomach. He has built a really wonderful CrossFit gym with the best equipment. The group of people that belong to Concourse are wonderful. It is a great family of people that are encouraging and welcoming. You look forward to see them and it makes it easy to return over and over again. It is the perfect place for someone who doesn’t necessarily like to work out and doesn’t really know what to do at a gym. It makes working out a lot of fun and Adan teaches you all the movements and shows you what to do. It is like working out with your own personal trainer. Plus getting to be social with a lot of amazing people. :) I can not recommend Concourse enough. In addition you get a membership to the Coast Fitness gym that it is affiliated with and you can use all their classes– yoga, spin, zumba, etc etc. And if for some reason you can’t make one of the classes you can always do the work out of the day on your own in the gym, they have every piece of equipment you could possible imagine. It is pretty great all around!

Programming and a great community is what sets this place apart from other boxes in the area. How Adan comes up with these WODs is a mystery to me, but there’s a method and a science to his programming (unlike other places that just throws out random movements to take up an hours worth of class). Come by and give it a try. You’ll only get better.

Why WOULDN’T you join Coast Fitness/​Concourse CrossFit? It’s simple — the facilites are top-​notch, always clean, and you have every single class you could ever ask for: CrossFit, Spin, yoga, Zumba, MMA, etc. There is also a kids club for members who have children but still want to get in a solid workout with no distractions.
Amenities include — locker room with plenty of showers, sauna and spa, massage table, tanning booth… what other gym in the South Bay, California for that matter, offers a top-​tier gym for a reasoanble price?!

Great programming in a friendly and informative environment. Facilities and equipment are top-​notch — A great place to train!

The 6 AM coach is so sexy… He’s the only reason I wake up so early… I love the way he makes us get all sweaty and dirty. I love how diverse his programming is… He’s helping me get my sexy on!
