Amazing workouts, great coaches and peers. You will not be disappointed. I have lost 15 pounds in the two months that I have been there, one hour in the morning, fast, furious, fun and effective. Come on and give The Sanctuary a try.

I am a 5 year CrossFit Sanctuary member and it is the best investment on my health and wellbeing I have ever made. All the coaches and members are welcoming and supportive. You will not experience any toxic gym culture here. When you join CrossFit Sanctuary, you are not joining a gym, you are joining a family focused on fitness. Each class begins with an overview and a hands-on tutorial on proper form for the days workout. Coaches are always on hand to help and guide you. All workouts can be modified to fit your abilities and at the same time the workouts are all fun and challenging. The best part of my day is showing up for a my 6pm CrossFit workout.

CrossFit Sanctuary is a gym that provides a supportive and challenging environment for its members. The coaches, Stephen and Bernie, are the backbone of this gym and their commitment to helping their clients achieve their goals is second to none. They are always available to provide guidance and encouragement, and they consistently go above and beyond to ensure that their clients are making progress. The gym is also home to a friendly and welcoming community of members. Everyone who comes to workout is supportive and encouraging, and it is easy to see that this gym is more than just a place to exercise - it's a community of like-minded individuals who are all striving to become the best versions of themselves.

I'd say Coach Bernie is part coach, part DJ, part saint, and 100% human. Having him stand by you as you go through your WOD not only makes you feel safe but also somehow 20-50% stronger and faster! Haha. I started with a 3-month unlimited package (summer special) and being the value consumer that I am, I wanted to come as often as I could. The first week I took three classes, the second week, four. Then I started asking around to see if every day (save Sunday) would be a good idea because I was so used making myself rest between workouts. Turns out it was one of the best decisions of my life. I'm now an everyday-er and I feel like I've come a long way since I started crossfitting here. I no longer suck at all the things that I used to suck at, i.e. running. For this, and all the awesome, kind and beautiful people at this box, I am so incredibly grateful. And oh yeah, the music is awesome (a great mix of workout hip hop, rock, and deep house)!

I joined Sanctuary last year in 2021 after having struggled to stay motivated to workout during the pandemic. Prior to this, I had always joined a larger gym, where nobody knows your name, let alone anything else about you. Joining Crossfit Sanctuary has been a turning point in my fitness journey and I am so grateful to be here. The coaches are AMAZING and truly believe in you. They encourage you to do more than you initially thought you could, and are there to support you every step of the way. The workouts are varied and challenging, and you're never bored. The other athletes at the box become like your family and you look forward to seeing everyone at every class. Take the first step to join and you wont regret it!
