CrossFit Pallas

I had been doing CrossFit for about 3 1/2 years and was losing interest. So I took some time off. When I decide to get back into it. I came to CrossFit Pallas to try some of their classes and to see what they had to offer. Boy was I glad I did. The people are great! the programming and coaching are definitely some of the best around, and They offer a lot of different class times along with open gym. If you’re like me and want to workout but you’re not good at doing your own programming. Then I highly recommend coming to CFP. You won’t be disappointed!!Thank youJohn R. More...

This is the best place to go if you want to be more active in your life, and are unsure how to go about doing so. All of the coaches are incredible, patient, and absolutely non-judgmental; plus they really know what they are talking about and it shows. Another thing I love about Pallas is the amazing sense of community and support from not only the coaches but also fellow classmates. Everyone is there to cheer you on even when you feel like giving up - its a great place to be a part of. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join this wonderful fitness community at CrossFit Pallas! (joined 2/2019) More...

Shortly after moving to Ithaca 2.5 years ago, I started looking for a new Crossfit box. My former gym was incredible and thus the “new box” had huge feet to fill. A colleague of mine highly recommended CFP. I decided to check it out and I have been a member ever since. I couldn’t be happier; CFP has surpassed all expectations. Not only is the coaching second to none, it is also comprised of an incredible, supportive community of inspiring, out-going members from all walks of life. CFP has so many options to help you reach your goals…not matter what level of fitness you are currently at! Highly recommended! More...

The coaching staff is phenomenal and so supportive. They meet you where you are. I’ve seen changes over time achieving goals and feeling empowered by what my body is able to do. The community is fantastic to not only push, but encourage everyone to do their best. Going to class is a highlight of my day. More...

I started at CrossFit at Pallas Fitness more than three years ago because I wanted a workout that would push me to get stronger and fitter. This absolutely happened, but what I did not expect was to find such a strong, vibrant, and supportive community in the process! It is not at all an exaggeration to say that Crossfit has absolutely changed my life for the better! One reason for this is the excellent quality of coaching at CrossFit Pallas which includes close attention to stretching, form, prehab, and always following good movement standards. I have visited other CrossFit boxes while traveling and I honestly say that the coaches at CrossFit Pallas are the best I have encountered anywhere. Of course there are many movements I am still working on achieving (I'm looking at you, ring muscle ups) but the remarkable physical progress I have made through CrossFit absolutely translates into better functionality and movement in every other part of my life. What's more, the perseverance and mental toughness that I cultivate daily through Crossfit is a well of strength and confidence when I face challenges outside of the gym. And the community of kind, generous, supportive people at CrossFit Pallas has made it my second home here in Ithaca. Whether you are a world class athlete like owner and coach Tim Paulson, or totally new to group exercise and functional fitness, everyone at Pallas will cheer you on, will encourage you to test *your own* limits, and help you push yourself at a level that is challenging and safe for you at the same time. There is a scale for everyone!Traditional gyms used to leave me intimidated and lost, but CrossFit is hands down the most supportive fitness community I have ever encountered. What's more, the Pallas community is something unique and special in today's busy world. If you are AT ALL curious I encourage you to come and check things out. I can't recommend CrossFit Pallas highly enough! More...

Coming to Pallas has made my life better. I love the CrossFit class structure and the coaching is top notch with an emphasis on correct form and technique. I've taken note of my progress and seen my strength and fitness level increase while feeling like there's still plenty of room to grow. And of course there's the community at Pallas. The sense of comradery has encouraged me to persevere through the tough workouts with the feeling I can get it done. Met some great people here for sure. I hope to be a member for a longtime.

Pallas has changed my life! I joined nearly a year ago, and my only regret is not doing so sooner. As a 42-year-old runner, I knew that running was no longer doing enough to keep me strong and prevent injuries. I was struggling with constant back & leg injuries, and I could tell I was losing upper-body & core strength as I got older. I had been scared of/intrigued by CrossFit for years, so I finally summoned up the courage to try it -- and now it's the best part of my day, every day. What makes Pallas so great? (1) The coaches are fabulous. Darrin took me through Foundations, and he was the first person to make me believe that I could actually be a CrossFitter. He's a master at teaching & inspiring people. Tim knows every single member's name, is always there to answer questions (no matter how busy he is trying to dominate the international CrossFit circuit), and he treats every athlete with tremendous respect, whether we're crushing the workouts or simply trying to figure out the basic movements. Janessa, Lauree, Sue, Kylie, Jana & Andy have each had a huge impact on my training by giving me thoughtful advice that pushes me to get better without making me feel overwhelmed by the huge challenge of learning CrossFit.(2) The members are equally fabulous! They really bring the best of Ithaca together in one place: friendly, diverse, smart, interesting people who go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. I never thought about a gym membership as a social thing, but now I look forward to seeing my Pallas team every day. I'm new to the sport and have no background in strength training or gymnastics, but never once have I felt self-conscious about lifting less than others or needing to scale certain movements. The other members have been a constant source of support. And we have so much fun in our classes!(3) The programming is incredible. Our workouts reflect Tim's years of experience and his thoughtfulness about training. Every workout is challenging but achievable, and every day is fun. The workouts have made me fitter in so many ways: strength, endurance, mobility, flexibility, speed & power.Because of the coaches, people & workouts, I'm so much stronger than when I joined, and I don't just mean physical strength. Of course that has improved greatly. But I'm mentally stronger. Several days a week, I see a workout that scares me, or that I think I might not be able to finish, or that I worry about embarrassing myself in. But then I show up, and the coaches teach us how to do the workout, and we all get it done! I've learned that I have so much more physical, mental & emotional capacity than I ever believed previously. It's an incredible experience to exceed your own expectations, and Pallas equips you to do so on a daily basis. So, give Pallas a shot -- you won't regret it! More...

I was really nervous to start CF! It was completely out of my comfort zone. Buuuut I am really happy I bucked up and joined! It's helped me keep my sanity and I really have a good time during the workouts. I had never even touched a barbell before I signed up, but now it seems like no big thing. Everyone is very supportive and the coaches are really knowledgable. The classes are something I look forward to on my days off! All of the workouts can be adjusted for skill level so it's never impossible and you always feel like you accomplished something after you go to a workout. If you are curious, you should for sure try it out! More...

As someone who intensely abhors working out, CrossFit Pallas has completely changed my approach to fitness. The coaches are great, they always make sure you are doing movements correctly and know how to encourage you to push yourself (within reason). The first couple of weeks I always dreaded going to class the next day because of how tough the workouts were (even though I felt great after), but now I look forward to class! Everyone at the box is really friendly and there's a strong sense of community as well. Gonna miss this place! More...
