Only been here once as a drop in class with a friend but I had a great time. The equipment is excellent and the trainer who lead the class was both knowledgeable yet respectful for each participants abilities. If I lived closer I would probably go more often but it's just too much of a drive for me. That being said if you are new to CrossFit or have been doing it for a long time this gym is a great one and I would recommend it to anyone. More...

Just finished the 6 week challenge and I was able to hit my goal of losing 5% body fat! We were provided individual meal plans that was pretty straightforward on what we could and couldn’t eat. It was actually more food than I’m used to eating, but with the help from Martin we adjusted my diet accordingly. We had weekly weigh-ins and diet checkups with Martin that helped me stay on track.

I've been a member for 7 years. The Forest is so much more than a regular gym, members build each other up and support achievements. If you're having a rough time just an hour in the Forest boosts you both physically and mentally. It's amazing coaches want to help you achieve your own personal goals and provide a safe non judgement zone for every shape and size. They don't upsell which is wonderful. They offer a lot of class times and programs at two locationsChildcare is available about 3 times a day and the lady who looks after the children is so lovely. The first point of contact is the hardest part after that you'll wonder why you haven't been to CrossFit Forest before now. So what are you waiting for? More...

I recently finished a 6 week program with CrossFit Forest and I could not be happier with my experience.  I had never tried CrossFit before so I was apprehensive coming in, but the coaches all proved to be very supportive and encouraging, especially for first timers, and the other members were extremely welcoming.  Even better were the results.  Sticking to their program and putting forth the effort in classes I lost 17 pounds and over 6% of my body fat in a mere 6 weeks.  I can't express how blown away I am.  I'm wearing pants I haven't worn in 6 years and I feel amazing.  Absolutely amazing.  Can't recommend this facility enough!

My daughter signed up for the 6 week challenge and I decided to do it with her. I was a little apprehensive because I have back problems (sciatica) arthritis in my shoulder and a knee problem. (Falling apart at 57). All of the coaches were great and recommended work arounds for my pain issues. I list 21.6 lbs in the 6 weeks and other than my sciatica (which has gotten better) I feel great. The arthritis in my shoulder prevented me from doing a single push up and now I can do them until my muscles give out. I am not a morning workout person but this changed that. I was in at 5:30 every morning and felt great the rest of the day. I recommend CrossFit Forest for anyone at any fitness level. The support and motivation from the coaches and the the other teammates is incredible, everyone pushes everyone. My transformation in 6 weeks is unbelievable. Al ParentRSM, CA More...

Everyone is very attentive and will help you develop good form.  This was very important to me since I was so afraid of injuring myself.

At the beginning of the challenge I was close to 22% body fat and I dropped it significantly to about ~16% through their awesome diet plan and committing myself to the daily workouts. I have never done cross fit before I was intimidated but the staff is very awesome at making me feel welcome and coaching me to get the most of out the workouts. The key to success though is determination, commitment, and understand that it takes time to see the results.

One of the best gyms you can ever be a part of!!!I took part in their 6 week challenge and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.  At the beginning of the challenge I was 23% body fat and my goal was to drop down 5%.  By the end of the challenge I was able to beat my goal and drop down to around 16% body fat.  This was definitely not easy to do, but the program provides you everything you need (nutrition plan, amazing crossfit coaches, and an accountability coach). The only thing you need to have is determination, commitment and to understand change doesn't happen overnight.I have never done crossfit before but this was not a problem at all.  They provide you will a beginners boot camp for the first 2 weeks where they will help you will all the fundamental movements and lifts that you will be seeing in classes.  This was great because the coaches were all very knowledgeable and great at explaining the movements so that no one will hurt themselves.  If anyone ever had an injury and couldn't do a specific movement, the coaches were able to provide an alternative so that you could still participate and get your work out in. Even if you are not doing the 6 week challenge and want to take the beginners boot camp you definitely could.  I would recommend anyone, whether you are new to crossfit or have been doing it for years, to come and join CrossFit Forest.

I have been going to CrossFit Forest for over a year now and I couldn't be more thrilled to be apart of this box! I always thought that CrossFit just wasn't my thing. I joined a different facility to get my workouts in and my wife joined the Forest. Over a year had gone by with her telling me I should go with her pretty much "every week". She talked about how great the coaches were and the family atmosphere and the intense workouts and how great she feels afterwards. I noticed a change in her body as she became stronger and toned. Then I noticed that there had been NO change for me in that same amount of time. I needed to do something different so I gave CrossFit Forest a chance and now I wish I would have began sooner.

I’ve been going to CrossFit Forest for 5+ years, 5 days a week. That says a lot right there.

I had never heard of CrossFit before and didn't know anything about it. I thought I was just going to a regular gym. I had no idea what a life changing experience it was going to be for me and my family.

Pete Jones (the owner) is an excellent coach and genuinely cares about the fitness and health of his athletes and treats everyone like family. He has done an excellent job at selecting coaches that share his philosophy that fitness is for life. They are all friendly and highly skilled coaches that feel like members of the family.

I had only been attending about 1 month before I knew I had to get my wife to come. She was reluctant to try it, but immediately fell in love with the program. We now also include our kids in CrossFit Forest's kids classes. It's great to have such a healthful activity to share as a family.

Pete, his wife, the coaches, and all the athletes - they all contribute to create a great atmosphere that welcomes all athletes, regardless of skill and fitness level. I highly recommend CrossFit Forest to anyone looking for a fitness program that they can incorporate into their lifestyle. More...

I joined CrossFit Forest 1 year ago, and I am extremely pleased with this gym; the programs they offer; the coaching; as well as the community!

I like that they offer scheduled classes limited to 1 hour (that makes me more likely to not make excuses); The instructors teach you all the movements you need, so compared to personal trainers, it's WAY less expensive but you get much of the same individual coaching and fitness education, in a small group setting. Also, they are super good about working with each individual's ability, meaning within the same class they will scale up or down to make sure workouts are specifically geared to your ability.

The community is great, too! Even though classes are a group setting, no one judges! Some of the members are the fittest people - even CrossFit Open Winners - yet they are the most helpful; motivating class members.

For anyone ready to make a change, and show up and try, I highly recommend CrossFit Forest! I'd like to say it's "saved" my life, but if that seems hyperbolic, I will say it's "changed" my life - for the better! More...
