I dropped I to Oak Park on my vacation to complete the Open 25.3 workout, looking for a CrossFit gym in the area, and my experience was fantastic, beyond my expectations! This gym has the most welcoming coaches and community with a top notch facility. The indoor outdoor concept was super nice with the sun and palm trees. Jamie, the manager, was incredibly kind for allowing me a space to complete the Open. I would highly recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone visiting the area if you want a space to meet new and incredible people. Thank you Oak Park for the fantastic workout!

Since joining the community in 2023, I have seen tremendous growth and development that is both physical but also mental. Coached by some of the best health and wellness coaches this community has seen, the philosophy of this CrossFit community transcends physical wellness, and growth. Tapping into the science behind wellness, each coach at the community is focused on driving value and knowledge to each of their members. There is a strong sense of devotion and passion that is well expressed in each and one of the coaches there. Each with their own valuable experience, provide not only motivation and strength, but also will and wisdom, which is non-existent in the traditional setting of a corporate ran gym, and corporate training agendas and trainers. From the programming to the quality conversations that are had, I am privileged to be a part of something greater than myself, because every time I am there participating, I realize I am defining the outcome of my wellness and journey. While on the race to greatness, Oak Park is the forefront of defining this greatness, because they make attaining greatness their responsibility as much as it is mine.

Oak Park is an extraordinary place where incredible coaches & athletes come together to do hard things! It’s unlike any other place.. you always feel supported by your coaches & your fellow athletes. You are guaranteed to have fun, move & grow. You feel safe in the movements you’re doing because the coaches take great care to prep you prior to the workout & encourage post workout mobility. I’m always learning, trying new things and living a better life because of the team here at Oak Park.

I can't say enough positive things about my experience at Oak Park. My husband and I are both members and it’s a time for us to bond and become better and stronger parents for our two kids. As a busy mom, finding time for self-care can be challenging, but this gym has truly been a game-changer for my mental and physical well-being. First and foremost, the coaches are simply outstanding. They are dedicated to helping each member reach their fitness goals no matter the fitness levels. Oak Park provides a family-friendly and inclusive environment. It’s a positive and motivating atmosphere and the coaches makes every workout enjoyable and effective. One coach, in particular, Char, has made a significant impact on my postpartum journey. As a mom herself she personally understands my needs and tailors my private training sessions. Her expertise, encouragement, and unwavering support have been instrumental in my fitness transformation. She also coaches the Women’s Class which has been a game changer for my confidence. It’s like a bonus that I have a female and mom community that is empowering and supportive for the unique needs of women.

I love going for drop-ins whenever I'm away from my box in La Verkin, UT. I always find myself at the bottom of the CF rope. Why are all those athletes so darn strong? Probably because of Dusty! He is the funniest coach I've ever met. He is also a treasure trove of facts about the CF lifestyle, and he helped me make minor adjustments to perform workouts more effectively. Definitely a place I will go to drop in again.
