CrossFit Coastal

Great box — I dropped in here while travelling and the location was great.
Huge rig with plenty of spcae for everyone and the lifts /​pullups we were doing. The day I dropped in here the WOD (workout of the day) was a benchmark WOD known as Helen. Helen is 3 rounds (do this cycle three times for time) of a 400M Run, 21 kettlebell swings with a 1.5 pood (about 53lb) kettlebell, and 12 pullups. This was my first sub 9min Helen. They have a dirt track outside that winds around 400M and is great break from the usual concrete sidewalk /​parking lot run areas that most places have.
When I was here they had a great yoga studio if you do yoga, bathrooms were a good size and were really clean. Staff was great, coaching was great, and the other members were really welcoming.
If I am back in this area any time in the future I will be making a stop by.

Crossfit is one of the most fun and challenging things I’ve ever done. At first, I was intimidated to try, but the staff at Crossfit Coastal are encouraging, welcoming and wonderful. By the time you leave after your first workout, you’ve gained a family that will support and challenge you. I can honestly say that Crossfit Coastal has changed my view of what I can accomplish!

I’m a Chicago Crossfitter who travels alot for work and vacations so I have the luxury of dropping into different boxes all around this country. I was in NC this past weekend to visit my parents and I had the great pleasure of dropping into Crossfit Coastal, which is the 29^th box in the past 6 months for me.
I arrived early around 945am because I like to meet the coaches and do some stretching. I ended up staying till 1pm and had the best 3 hours of Crossfit ever — and on my birthday no less! Before a pretty kick ass 1030am Team WOD, the owner, Zeke, and another member helped me perfect my kipping pull ups. After the Team WOD, another member helped me get in my first rope climbs. Double wins.
I decided to stay from 1130am — 1pm to work out with a few members on my OLY lifts. Me and Kate* worked side by side, coaching each other on, as we both PRed on our Snatch and Clean & Jerks as Zeke watched and gave us pointers. Everyone made me feel super welcomed and I almost felt like a regular by the end of the day.
Although I’ve visited some pretty awesome boxes that were small in size, it is always great to work out in a spacious box. CrossFit Coastal is pretty spacious and well equiped. It also my first time working out at a box that had sleds.
If you are new to Crossfit or a kool-​aid drinker who is looking for a box in the Wilmington area, I highly recommend this one. I’ll definitely be dropping in again when I’m back in the area for sure. Thanks Crossfit Coastal!
* I believe her name was Kate; sorry if I got it wrong. :-/

I am in the Marines and have been working out with weights in a conventional gym and distance running for years and thought I would give this a try. For the last 6 months I have been addicted. Great training staff who really knows how to bring out the best in you. I am in the best shape in years and I have just begun this journey. You got to check this place out– but be ready for some work!

I have had a great time working out at this location. The staff is relentless but kind and helpful, helping you to get the results without allowing you to slack off. Highly recommended for those who like to mix it up and workout in a group.
