I'd never done anything like Crossfit and to be honest, never felt like I could walk into a gym, confidently. I came to Refuge to challenge myself to get strong and take risks. From day one, I had support from the coaches and other members. The coaches are consistent and encouraging. When I question my abilities, they've been there to safely give me a push. I believe anyone, at any level, can walk in and find their place here. Recently had surgery that will keep me out for a bit. After letting one of the coaches know, she brought me some meals! Have you ever experienced that level of support at any other gym? More...

I have been to three different crossfit gyms locally and Mr. Reiman is the best. He is very patient, personable and kind. His technique as a coach is very good and adapts to all three different learning styles . Emily Reiman is awesome as well, both David and Emily teach you to listen to your body and results will come later. Hats off to you both! More...

I did CrossFit for a few years out of state and I’m just now getting back at it after a 2 year hiatus. I can without a doubt say that this is the best box I’ve ever been to—and I’ve dropped in to many. The coaching is consistent, thorough, & they don’t push you beyond your limit. The programming is GREAT! Everyone is here to have a good time and to get a good workout in. I’m already seeing steady progress in my strength and techniques on lifts & gymnastics. Also...I’ve been here for two months and I’ve had zero problems getting to know people here—at least one person every day makes a point to say hi and introduce themselves to me if they’ve never met me before. It’s like one big family here that welcomes you in just as you are (if you’ve been in CrossFit for any length of time, you realize how valuable this is). Refuge CrossFit. For. The. Win. More...

I totally would recommend RCF. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. David took a lot of time with my boys and me making sure we were getting our form right. If we lived out here in Palmer this would be my gym of choice....but will probably be getting at least a punch card for the times I am out here ☺️ More...

I have had David as a CrossFit coach for a few years now, and I've never had a better CF coach. This is an awesome facility with a comfortable environment, an exceptional setup for a CrossFit box, and David and Emily are amazing people who take the time to treat their clients as though they are most important thing going on in their lives. One feels like family talking to them. I would recommend Refuge CrossFit to anyone who is looking for a new box or who is just starting CrossFit and still a little nervous about getting into it. God truly works through David and Emily to make Refuge CrossFit a welcoming and accepting environment! More...

From the first moment I stepped in the building, I felt welcomed and not judged. I was offered a free session to see if it would meet my needs. Came in, worked out, and even made a new friend. It’s very family friendly. More...

I tried CrossFit for the first time last night with David and Emily! It was awesome! Everyone was super friendly and David was super helpful for us newbies. My kids played and had a blast! I will definitely be back. I have been intimidated to try because I always thought that it was for super fit people, but we all were at different levels and the class functioned all together super smoothly! It was awesome 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND. More...

I've never done CrossFit before, and in fact I avoided it, for fear of a sudden urge to fall into a Paleo diet and wear loud denim. I tried this gym because they had awesome hours that work with my schedule and are located conveniently, regardless which direction I commute from. It's a husband and wife team that are super welcoming and helpful, and all the clients I've seen here are laid back and friendly. I did an initial assessment, and have started with their foundations/intro classes. Again, having not done this before there was a good possibility I was going to feel out of place but it's been such a cool environment and I ended up really liking it. There are showers, child care, and clean equipment, and it's reasonably priced. Happy to have given this gym a try and I highly recommend it. More...

Crossfit is often misunderstood and it seems that a common deterrent is intimidation....many assume that they need to be at a certain level of fitness to even set foot in the door of a box. The truth is that Crossfit is the most inclusive athletic endeavor that I have experienced. You can enter a box with almost any physical limitation and leave feeling empowered by your coaches and community. Refuge Crossfit embodies this ideal at the highest level. The coaching is attentive and intelligent. The community is uplifting and accepting. The assault bikes are brutal and I lovehate them. All the stars for this business and culture...Palmer has it’s box. More...

Refuge is the best! We are new to crossfit but I am hooked. This is the only place in the valley that has an amazing kids area, great coaches and has great equipment. We can all go as a family. The kids play while my husband and I get to workout together. Thanks David and Emily, this place is a blessing! More...

I'd heard so many recommendations for Coach David that I finally tried out his new gym. He and his wife are so genuine and welcoming, down to earth and make you feel right at home. I also love how safe they are when it comes to technique and teaching everyone so they do the moves correctly. Very glad to be part of this crossfit community. More...

kiddo LOVED the play area. instantly felt at home in this place and with these people and thats saying something because im pretty shy and uncomfortable almost ANYWHERE. Appreciate the practical application constantly discussed. Helps keep your mind on how to improve your day-to-day with what you learn in the box. Cant wait to spend more time here - its a truly wonderful place. More...

David and Emily are amazing coaches who generously share both their knowledge and passion with others. The kids room is great: more of an area where the kids can workout, rather than just play with toys!

David & Emily have created a very welcoming space & atmosphere. As a newbie to CrossFit, the intimidation factor is the biggest hurdle, & they shoved it aside for me at my first class. They spend time breaking down moves, suggest weights, & positively reinforce my form when I get it right. I love the relaxed mood blended with the drive behind the workouts. Big big bonus is the ability to bring my kiddos who have an amazing time & can’t wait to go back. More...

Great Drop In Experience I had a great first experience at Refuge CrossFit last night! The coaches (David and Emily) were very friendly and accommodating. They really make you feel welcome and took the time to explain everything. The members were fantastic and the atmosphere was sociable so I didn’t feel intimidated, which made the experience that much better! An absolute awesome environment to do a workout in! The perfect combination of nice people all around, great coaches and a superb workout! I will definitely go again, and highly recommend a must try to everyone else! More...
