Great facility. I'd say best "crossfit" gym in GR!

I have been a part of the 8th day community for a little over 2 years now. It is not only the nicest and most clean CrossFit facilities I have ever been to but most importantly, the people (staff, members, community) is what makes it. Awesome group of people. Staff and members are always smiling and welcoming new faces. Both functional fitness and boot camp classes are instructed well, and it is apparent coaches have a passion for what they do as well as the knowledge set.

One of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard... A gym in downtown closed on Saturdays? And not open until 1 pm on Sunday?
There's stupid and then there is stupid

The coaches and staff at 8th Day are the best. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly, they make everyone feel welcome whether you have been there for 10 years or 10 days. I recommend them to everyone I know looking for a great gym especially if they are interested in CrossFit. 10/10 would recommend to my family and friends.

Just did one class after a friend invited me, and it's completely humbling and motivating. Having never done a CrossFit workout, I was planning on being lost and out of place, but the instructor Ryan really helped me through, as did the other members. Very accepting environment for newbies! Loved it

Arrived for 3 days of workouts last week as a drop in from out of country. Was greeted by the owner, Joe, and given a tour of his awesome gym. Met great people, did several well- programmed workouts and had a STELLAR experience. I left wishing this was my hometown gym. Thanks guys!!

First and foremost the owner is an amazing person. That means the coaches are amazing and the equipment is updated and well taken care of. The place is clean. The coaches help you get to the level of training you want to be at and it's a great place to meet people that have the same goals as you and are willing to help you along the way.

The boot camp classes really push you. If you want to get whipped into shape, check them out!

Attended bootcamp class. It was a great workout! However, I was concerned that the instructor didn't demo the movements. If I was new to fitness/weight training/HIIT workouts I would've been lost on how to do a Russian/American/Single Arm kettle-bell swing or possibly injured myself. I was also unsure what modifications there were for movements as they were not demoed. Perhaps our instructor was new or having a bad day? As someone who also teaches fitness classes in the area, I'm very understanding. I also never knew the instructors name and he didn't ask who was new to the class and he just threw us in to get started, which is intimidating for newbies...especially those just getting back into fitness (again, not me). My thinking is that 8th Day has structured this type of class with less focus on individuals more of a "get in and get out" workout compared to their CrossFit classes.
Another note, please, please, PLEASE provide wipes for us to clean equipment!! This made my heart so sad. I've worked in studios where the flu has spread like wildfire! The guy next to me was dripping all over his mat and just hung it up afterwards. Eeek!
All in all, this is a great workout. The facility is huge, though a little disorganized and hard to navigate when you first arrive. It looked like everyone in class really enjoyed being there. And, at the end of the day, I was sore and feeling it which is the POINT of working out. There are areas for improvement at the gym, but a good spot for those who live/work downtown.

I dropped in here when I was in town for work Spring of 2016, because a friend recommended I stop in for a workout if I was ever in the area. The staff was very responsive when contacted about dropping in. Great facilities, made me feel welcome and had fantastic WODs. I will definitely be going back if I am ever back in the area

I travel all over the world for work and this really is one of the best boxes I've visited in all my travels. The facility is superb and the coaching is excellent. Everyone was very nice. I highly recommend this box!!

My experience was ok.
PROS:
Ginormous facility
Plenty of Cross Fit equipment
Friendly atmosphere
Friendly and knowledgeable coaches
CONS:
The short time that I was there, the main focus in the Cross Fit classes seemed to mostly upper body. There was a lot of focus on arms and shoulders but not as much on legs and abs. As a female, that's a downside for me.
Not enough evening hours or weekend hours.
