The Shamba Way

i've been going to this gym for seven years and I love the classes. I love the vibe. It's great how the coaches will adjust the work out to meet your needs. I'm in my 50s so I really appreciate that cause there's many levels there. I decided to do some personal training and I'm really appreciating it because my coach Yaremy has really been guiding me to make sure I'm doing the right movements and I don't feel overwhelmed, so I feel very looked after and cared for and that's really kind of what I need at this stage in my life and it's been really great!!!

My husband and I started working out at Shamba Way in June of 2022. We just moved in the area at that time. Coach Jake, the owner answered our call instantly and we started our free workout session with Coach Thomas the following day. We were impressed by the prompt response and getting us in right away! Since then, we’ve been coming consistently to the 5 AM class with Coach Yaremy and Coach Nick. All of the coaches are great, knowledgeable and inspiring! We love the support we get during the workout and in reaching our fitness goals. The best part of it is the community! Everyone influence each other to be better not just in our health and fitness journey but also in other areas of life! In addition, we like the fact that we can go to both Shamba Way or Shamba Vibe depending on our schedule or even just to do a “fun” weekend workout at Shamba Vibe. We are so grateful to be apart of this gym!

I’ve been Crossfitting for over 17 years and training at Shamba CrossFit for a little over a year, and it has truly transformed my fitness journey. As a fan of barbell, dumbbell and HIIT workouts, this gym has everything you need. **Coaching:** The coaches are highly skilled and effectively scale workouts to ensure everyone receives attention. They emphasize proper form to prevent injuries and provide helpful tips for progress. **Programming:** The varied and intense workouts of the day (WODs) blend strength, cardio, and gymnastics. Each session presents a challenge without being overwhelming, incorporating elements like barbell squats, AMRAPs, and EMOMs. **Community:** The atmosphere is incredibly supportive, with everyone cheering each other on. It’s easy to make friends, and the monthly socials create a sense of belonging, making it feel like a second family.

This gym is my happy place! I go to both locations, Shamba Vibe and Shamba Way, in Costa Mesa and Newport. The coaches are amazing, friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and cheering and believe in you. Everything I need from a coach to push you a bit more than you would do by yourself. I love the programming, and in just one year, I have seen more broken PRs than ever before. People at the gym are the greatest, like-minded who share a passion for sports.

Shamba coaches Nick and Yaremy changed my life! I never been so committed and enthusiastic! No the usual CrossFit gym where they push you over the edge all the time and risk injuries. I started October 2022 and since then never stopped. I’m 46 and I never been in a better shape. I definitely recommend to anyone to join the box and have fun with it.
