Grassroots Crossfit is the welcoming, supportive and challenging environment I have been looking for. The owners and coaching staff truly value their members. It shows in their workout programming, hands-on instruction, and community-building activities.

Schedule is amazing, coaching is fun and ran efficiently. Relevant warm up, strength work, workout and optional skills work in every class. Great for drop in's or long term!

I don't think this is needed but it can't hurt. I switched from the YMCA to GRCF's open gym and i have to say it was a solid choice that I wish i had made so much sooner because I was wasting my time at the YMCA. I can't speak to anything crossfit because I don't do Crossfit, only Olympic Weightlifting programing with Cal Strength but this gym is a solid choice for any independent programming you might want to do. The open gym is never usually very crowded except for like Saturday and it's always mid day 10am-3pm'ish. They always seem to be getting new equipment like every week. All the members and staff seem really nice, laid back and down to earth which is a shocker given that this is still Berkeley after all, it's not exactly common to have people who don't have a strong opinion or attitude but if you need relief this seems to be the place.

I think the only suggestions i might offer the gym is maybe to get more dumbells in higher weights and possibly upgrade their facility with a closeable door and possibly some kind of HVAC system because the cold and the wildfire smoke were kind of brutal to deal with. An expansion of open gym times would be super awesome too though i realize the classes are an integral part of the Crossfit business model. Otherwise they have anything you could want plus everything you never thought you needed. Thanks GRCF!

If you're looking for a new gym or just swinging through town, this is your place. Quality equipment, clean set up, friendly vibe, awesome attentive coaching, and just a premium faculty. I'll certainly be back next time I'm in town.

I have been in the CrossFit community for over 4 years, visiting dozens of boxes.

I checked out the other gyms in the area including Oakland, Berkeley, Hercules, and East Bay before choosing this one. It is a great gym that shows the traditional values of CrossFit can still persist in a business framework. The coaches, Melissa and Kris, provide close attention to their clients and are knowledgeable on the movements.

This box is comparatively cheaper and very friendly. Rather than answering to a sign at the door that says "do not interrupt," I was immediately greeted by the coaches. The atmosphere is welcoming for people of all fitness levels. I personally came for the Olympic Weightlifting. This box has a plenty of Pendlay and Eleiko competition plates, Rogue barbells, and even jerk boxes. That last item I am sure is more than enough to convince most the oly junkies.

I too have had a very positive experience with Grassroots Crossfit. Yes the classes are small but Melissa is consistent in giving everyone personalized attention whether you want it or not. I have been doing crossfit since February and belonged to another gym. It became very clique and big and it lost the customer service aspect which is one of the most important things that I expect especially when laying down a chunk of cash every month. Grassroots is cheaper, custormer service focused and a very good deal compared to other crossfit gyms. And Melissa and Kris are very open and very friendly. You almost have to beg them to take your money. I highly reccommend this gym to all who are looking for a great experience.
