If you are looking to burn some calories and meet some great new friends, this is your place! Conveniently located in downtown Martinez, you'll find this little gem a welcoming experience. I hated any sort of exercise before I was introduced to Ralphie. He is very encouraging and an all-around super coach. I have found MEF somewhat addicting! Workouts are done together, however, you work at your level. We do cardio, some weights, (which I never thought I would enjoy - and now it's my favorite part), and a tiny bit of running (not every day!). You can't run? No problem. There are modifications for you with every movement and in everything we do. The best part is that we all encourage each other! No one cares if you didn't do your last sit up - but you will, because you want to! There are people of all ages and shapes. You can already be a gym rat or you can start your journey here. I did! I encourage you to give MEF a try. Your first class is free! More...

I've been attending for just over a year and I love it more and more as each month passes. There is a fantastic community of people who you become friends with and that community supports one another as well as the larger Martinez community such as donating gifts to local foster youth at Christmas. Ralphie, owner and coach, is fun, knowledgeable and really cares about each individual athlete's goals inside the gym and outside the gym.  Highly recommend if you're looking for something different where you get a great workout, build lasting friendships and feel cared about by staff and athletes.

Although I have only been a couple times to this gym, it doesn't take many more to know the trainer is an awesome trainer. He pays very close attention to the form of people he's training so they don't injure themselves or develop poor habits in body placement. I've been to other places where trainers are talking to other trainers while they have new students working on a barbell moves...SO HORRIBLE! Not Martinez Elite Fitness; Ralphie pays close attention to each person and will walk you through the moves in a functional way so you know what you're doing. Looking forward to my next session!!

I have been a member of martinez crossfit since March 2015. I could never do the "gym scene" before here. This place is AMAZING no matter what level you are at or never worked out before the coach will modify you to whatever level and everyone is super supportive and nobody judges one another. Coach Ralphie is so amazing he makes you feel comfortable and is supportive, when you feel you can't go no more he gives you that push to keep going and makes you feel good about yourself. He has changed so many people's lives to be healthier. I'm so happy to be part of the Martinez crossfit family. I wouldn't go anywhere else. More...

I began my journey with Ralphie and our fitfam back in September of 2014. from the very first session something just clicked. For the first time I wanted to workout, I wanted to hold myself accoubtable. I felt like I belonged to something special. I've lost just under 20 pounds so far and gained not only strength but confidence. I'm lifting and doing things I never thought I'd do and striving to do the things I can't yet do. A wonderful place and wonderful people :) More...

I started at Martinez Elite Fitness (then Martinez Crossfit) in October of last year. Any intimidation I felt evaporated as soon as I walked in the door. Everyone was incredibly welcoming. I won't lie: I thought I might die during that first workout. After class, I told a friend, "Crossfit sucks, and I can't wait to go back." I did go back, and I'm so glad I did. Crossfit truly is for everyone. Ralphie can scale or modify any movement to make it work for anyone, but also knows when to push you past imaginary limitations you have set for yourself. This is the only gym I have ever loved, and I've come a long way in just a few months. More...

I was visiting from out of town and needed to complete a workout for the open. It was Easter weekend with a lot of family plans but Ralphie worked with me and opened up an hour early on Sat for me to come in. He coached and cheered me on through the whole workout. I had an exceptional experience and have already recommended this place to several friends who live in the area. More...

The most welcoming gym I've ever been to! It doesn't matter if you are new to CrossFit or the gym, or a seasoned Gym attendee. Everyone is welcomed with open arms and a positive attitude. Just the right amount of accountability and positivity. Everyone want you to succeed in your goals! And Not only is the gym amazing but I love that I am supporting a local business, helping support somebody's DREAM instead of supporting a corporation.

Try a Class! Trust me,You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been coming to Martinez Elite Fitness for 11 months. This is the first time I’ve ever come to a gym with consistency- and it’s because of the Owner and Head Coach, Ralphie Martinez. You will not find the kind of customized attention he gives to each of his athletes anywhere else. Because of him, and the amazing and supportive people who work out there, I’ve accomplished things at 50 that I never would have imagined doing. Coming to MEF was the best thing I could have done for my health and mindset. It doesn’t matter what level of fitness you currently have: start exactly where you are and come to MEF to meet Ralphie. He’s created a community within our community, and become an invaluable resource. More...

I can proudly say im part of the Martinez crossfit fam! My wonderful sister-in-law got me to join=) I started in October 2015.  Im truly satisfied and amazed on how my body looks and feels in just these three months! I never ever lifted any sort of weight until I joined Martinez crossfit. I was a big hiker and jogger...until now.Im really excited to see my progress in a year and I wouldn't want anybody else by my side then my coach...Ralphie=) He has pushed me to do great things and I feel so motivated and strong! I was able to have my 9 yr old son and niece join the kids class every Tuesday. They also have built confidence and a great relationship with Ralphie.

I can't even tell you how many gyms I have joined in the past. Maybe 7? I always get so excited and get myself all amped and ready for success, only to fail. I hate the gym. Let's be honest. I never have any direction and I usually end up "playing" on a machine and then jogging on the boring treadmill for 30-45 minutes. I'm usually just staring awkwardly at the people who look like they know what they're doing.  Blah Blah Blah. But Martinez Crossfit? Oh  no this is NOTHING like going to the gym. This place is amazing! You have so much positive support around you. People of all different fitness levels and ages that are all here for one reason......to get fit! You are coached, you are timed, you are pushed.....all while not feeling judged by your teammates. This is a family. Coach Ralphie is exactly what I needed. He is everything you could want in a coach. He is committed to helping you become a stronger you, while making sure you are safe and have the correct form. The best part is that Ralphie is brutally honest and tells it like it is. He is confident in his knowledge and experience, yet sensitive with everyone's individual needs. Plus he knows how to crack a joke every now and again. I have been attending classes since Aug 2014 and I will continue to work with Ralphie as long as he is still running these kick-*** classes!

Joining MCF was the best decision I ever made! Not only have I had physical results (weight loss) but thanks to Ralphie I'm slowing revealing my "inner athlete"! Ralphie pushes me every work out to become better and stronger and I can't thank him enough for that! I never thought I would be a "CrossFit" person, but after the first class I was hooked! I would definitely recommend to anyone (no matter what your fitness level) to check it out! More...

I started with Martinez Crossfit 8 weeks after I had my son and when I started I could barely run, couldn't do a sit up, couldn't do a burpee. ..ok pretty much couldn't do a lot. Now I can run a mile in 11:07 and that time is going down, I can do burpees, I can do sit ups, I can pretty much do anything I set my mind to! I have lost 9 pounds in 10 weeks!! The results are clear, Ralphie has changed my fitness life! You will never regret going to Martinez Crossfit! We are like a family. We motivate each other and help each other.  Ralphie is the best coach I have ever had. He won't let you give up he will encourage you to push yourself to your potential and then some!!

Alright here we go,First off I have to say I am in no way confident person when it comes to working out. I have no clue what to do on my own at the gym and I have always doubted my abilities. Last spring I started coming here and am happy to say this is the ONLY thing I have ever stuck to in my life! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would....id give it a million! Right off the bat I felt welcomed and like I fit in. I am very insecure when it comes to things like this, I absolutely hate working out in front of people but I have NEVER ever felt judged here and honestly this is the only place I have ever been that I actually feel confident, it truly is a great feeling. The athletes and coach here are beyond supportive and motivating. My abilities to do things have tremendously improved and im becoming stronger faster and more confident every week. Ralphie is very admit about the movements and making sure we are doing them correctly and safely and we never do the same WOD twice so it is not at all repetitive. The people here have become like family to me, I actually get excited to go to the gym every day and see everyone and get my fitness on (lol), trust me I have never felt that way about any gym before in my life!  Ralphie is very passionate about his athletes and his business and it shows in his efforts and in our improvements.  I definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends in fact a lot of them have already joined me here :)))....try it out....TRUST ME you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
