The LAB Napa

This workout is not for sissies! If you don’t want to work hard STAY HOME!!! I found this place by accident while looking for a crossfit gym for my teenage boys. I chatted with stan and liked what he had to say, he’s incredibly knowledgeable and answered all my questions, he’s serious about his workouts and is not interested in talking about the weather. My boys started the next day and go 3 days a week in between their lacrosse and football seasons. stan works with them in the areas in which helps them with their sports, they loved every minute and stan has taught them correct form which they have taken into the weight room alone and with confidence that they are doing it correctly. Not only did he teach them correct form but had them write a food log which stan would go over with them and teach them what they should and shouldn’t be eating and how often etc. My boys got such excellent results that I signed up. i was going to synergy but wanted to kick it up a notch… wow did I ever!!! I did an assessment with Stan where we went over injuries (i was recovering from a broken foot and have a 40% torn rotator cuff) and he could see physically what I was capable of doing, He can work around ANY injury if you are willing to listen and trust that he knows what he’s doing. He pushes me and gives me confidence that I am capable of achieving anything and he will accept NO EXCUSES!!! Trust me, i’ve got plenty of them. If you’re looking to be pampered without putting any effort this is not the place for you. But if you want results stan will get you there! I’ve had such excellent results that now my husband goes and i’ve never seen my husband step one foot in a gym!

The LAB is the best workout in town! Every day it’s a challenge that I’m excited to take on. Stan makes us work hard which is what I joined for. I saw major improvements in less that 12 workouts. And every month I get stronger and stronger.
He puts his heart and soul into this gym and has been an amazing motivator and encourager. He happily shares his knowledge with us about health, nutrition and fitness.
This is not for the person looking for an easy way to get fit. It’s for those willing to do what it takes to be better. I’ve found great support with the other members. Always walk out so happy that I went!

Looking for a no nonsense workout environment that pushes you both mentally and physically. You found the spot. The facility is by far one of the best in Napa for cross training and conditioning. A balance between strength, conditioning and flat out hard work in a group environment has you near tears while you beg for more.
Read my fine print: Not for the faint of heart, you must be willing to push through and persevere in the binning. The first two weeks are going to be hard and not hard like skipping lunch and working an extra hour, but hard like you may want to call you mom and cry a little bit… I know I did!
However if you are looking for a place to make a lifestyle change and start living healthy there is plenty of availability/​flexibility for any schedule. But I would recommend the 6:00 AM Class Up At 5:20 every day of the week! My favorite!!!

The only reason I’m giving this gym one star is because I had to to be able to write this review. I bought a groupon featuring this gym as a crossfit class. I arrived to the gym for an «assessment» and found this experience to be one of the worst in my entire 41 years! The owner/​trainer was demeaning, degrading, unsupportive and super egotistical. All he talked about was his military experience and how he was like the «government» watching and listening to everything his clients do. He proceeded to have me do his assessment workout with no warmup and minimal instruction. As I was doing the workout he laughed at me and told me that a woman twice my age was able to do the workout 4 times more than what I could do. I wouldn’t recommend this gym to my worse enemy! This gym should not be open to the public.
