I was always skeptical about CrossFit but that has changed since going to Stronghold. I originally looked on Groupon for fitness specials because I had gotten really sick onboard my ship and lost a lot of weight and was just overall not healthy. This is when I figured I'd give CrossFit a chance and if I didn't like it, it was just a 10 class pack. Little did I know that I would fall in love with Stronghold and have a new family and place to call home and gain my weight back plus some (in a good way of course). This community is friendly and inviting and I'm beyond comfortable here. I've tried other fitness classes and I have never felt like the coach truly cared about me since I was just a walking dollar sign. In this class, Coach Ray and the other coaches truly care about each individual. They work with each person and make accommodations as they see fit. The class sizes are small and they really do pay attention to your form. I had always heard that CrossFit doesn't care about form, they care about how much weight you can move. This is definitely the complete opposite at Stronghold; before you can move up in weight, your form needs to be spot on. I really enjoy Stronghold because I feel like I'm competing against myself and nobody else. Everyone cheers each other on to be the best they can be.

The coaches and the other members here are great! You feel comfortable working out at any level and the coaches really understand how to cater a work out for all levels of fitness and all body types. Ray does a lot to make us feel like a community and family. Crossfit always made me nervous and I kept putting off trying it, but I wish I had found this gym years ago. I am definitely obsessed! I highly recommend for anyone looking to get excited about getting in shape and working out. Plus you definitely see results. It's the place to go!

Crossfit Stronghold really is as good as it gets. The classes are small so you get a lot of personal attention and the focus is on form and safety. No matter what level of fitness you currently find yourself in Stronghold will push you to become better. The knowledge of mobility, strength, conditioning and gymnastics that the owner Ray has is top notch.

Coming from two different crossfit gyms, Crossfit Stronghold is by far the best I have been to. I came into Stronghold with some experience, but quickly leaned that I was not squatting correctly and my mobility was nowhere close to where it is today. Ray has formed me into a better moving athlete and I have never been injured. He cares about every individual and their safety, whether you come from experience or not. It's a very fun environment and everybody is very friendly and welcoming. I can definitely call them my family!

My husband and I found Crossfit Stronghold about 6 months ago. We weren't sure what to expect when we started but Ray, Nick and Kyle have done a great job teaching us everything we needed to know! The atmosphere is friendly and fun! Ray does a great job adjusting your movements and keeping you safe. We have both made improvements since we started and we really enjoy being a part of this community!

I tried out a few boxes before signing up for crossfit. As a physical therapist I wanted to make sure I found crossfit coaches that really focuses on form and encourages you to get the movements down before adding heavy weight. That being said I found a good fit for me. Ray is a great coach and pays attention to detail. I enjoy the small class sizes as well.

Lifting with technique and form, forming bonds with the other members, and improving my health, Stronghold is invaluable to my way of life. I was not able to air squat without falling over three years ago. Coach Ray and other members encouraged me to improve and celebrated with me when I smashed my preconceived notions of what I could do.
If you're worried about what you can't do, how will you ever find out what you CAN do? Crossfit Stronghold writes scalable workouts to work around experience level, injuries, you name it. Coach Ray has your back. Come check us out!
