CrossFit Forest

I’m a member here because it’s got such great energy. There are a ton of folks, not ideal for me in a crossfit gym. But I joined anyway because Pete Jones and Skye are super awesome coaches. Their energy motivates me. They have a high level of integrity and often, I feel happy after a workout because they have transferred that energy to me. Crossfit is intimate and so much depends on the virtue, character and expertise of the trainers. If a coach «gives» a lot of energy and integrity, then the gym is going to be great. This is that gym.

I am from out of town and so glad I found this gym. The people are friendly and the coaching is exceptional. I appreciate the pre WOD coaching on the movements and flexibility based on your fitness level. It’s a great gym to get your workout done even when you’re away from home! Love the CrossFit community! If you’re just dropping in, this gym is worth coming to!

I had the opportunity to drop in at Crossfit Forest while in the area for work. The members were very welcoming and awesome to workout with. Coach Cameron was great also. He gave me some good tips and pushed us to work hard. Thank you for the hospitality. Will be back for sure when I am in the area.

This place was my first crossfit gym, and ultimately opened up to a lifestyle that I have continued to live for more than a year now. It means a lot to me and am very thankful for this place. I signed up for the basic training (bootcamp if you will) to learn the weight lifting moves, mobility, and other correct forms that would be different from what I knew before, doing workouts from P90X and Insanity Videos.
My first impression of this place was that it was huge and the people are very helpful. I met the owner, Pete, on my first visit to talk about what I was looking for towards this gym and he was 100% ready to help me. He is that type of owner that you can tell he cares about your well-​being and sincerely cares about you. He knows each and every member and always updates himself about each person’s capabilities.
The basic training at Crossfit Forest is absolutely worth the money. It comes with a month of training (3 times a week), a nutrition class (which is very helpful and pivotal to excelling yourself in crossfit), and also a body analysis though something that is a called a bodpod, which checks your bodyfat and all the helpful statistics. Then after your basic training is finished, you have a week of regular classes until the end of the month. After that, you are able to either continue paying monthly or go your separate ways.
The facilities is one of the biggest boxes (crossfit gyms) I have ever seen, though it is not the biggest. The biggest I’ve seen is Citizen Crossfit in Anaheim, which is my current gym. Anyway, the owner Pete told me this is a new facility and they just moved. It is nicely designed with rigs all around, rope climb area, turf for prowlers, and lots of space for weight lifting, box jumps, and all the things needed for a crossfit. This place can easily have 30+ people per class, which other boxes could only manage half that size. Rule of thumb is if the box has turf for prowlers, your box is a big box. The color scheme alone is very nice. Green and Blue, which make the gym very earthy, thus Crossfit «Forest.» The gym didn’t have it at the time, but Pete said they would have showers for the people on the go, like me that need to go to work right after, and they have a little shop as well. This box is definitely one of the cleanest boxe
