I can easily give Rig Dog a 10/10. The coaches are always pushing for a personal best while adjusting for individual fitness levels. The community is great; super welcoming and supportive. I was hesitant to get back into crossfit and stick with it, but I find myself actually looking forward to the classes! If you're looking for a new gym, it's absolutely worth checking out.

I enjoyed my classes there. I would attend the 6pm class 3 days a week and each night’s coach had their unique style. Brett focused on form and technique, Stephanie focused on personalizing workouts to fit individual needs, and Aaron focused on strength and grit. I don’t think this was an intentional setup but they just came together well and I enjoyed the feeling of a productive workout week.

10/10 would recommend. This gym is so welcoming and inclusive that I will truly miss going everyday. Everyday I go in and I get the best workout I can because of the coaches and their willingness to help me become a better self. I started out not being able to complete workouts because I was so out of shape but they did not give up on me. Everyday I have been challenged physically and mentally and it is amazing how much the coaches care for you. This gym is like a family everyone cares. Carlton, aaron, and stef are the best coaches out there! They have transformed me into a better athlete and person.

Rig Dog is a great gym. I just returned to working out after 5 years of school and desk job, and need the push of a good coach. Carlton is great at keeping me moving when the will is whining to quit. Lots of attention is given to form and safety. I suffer sciatica leg imbalance so Carlton prescribes exercises to promote equal leg strength. Great people. Great location, private from onlookers. Love the music.

I have been going to Rig Dog for about a year and a half and can't speak highly enough about the gym and trainers. When I first started coming I had never done Crossfit before and Carlton was great at modifying the workouts until I was more comfortable doing them. It's a great community and the new gym is a great location. Great Crossfit gym for someone who is looking to try Crossfit out but has always been too intimidated to try and also for those who have been doing Crossfit for years.
