I loved the 5am and 6am classes that were coached by a trainer who is no longer there. I showed up one morning for class and the owner (Joe) was there to tell us they had a falling out. Told us they were moving toward individualized training. I asked for a refund for the rest of my month and was ignored. I will have to pay for more than half a month and not have the classes that I signed up for. I was also promised nutrition support with my membership. I never received that support until I sent my cancellation notice. Joe told me he could help me lose 5-10 pounds in 3 weeks if that would help. Was also promised a tank that I never got! Personalized training plans that include telling someone to walk for 45 min for a minimum of $250 a month is ridiculous. Joe is very unprofessional with how he runs his business. He is a complete jerk!

Chalkbox...More like AwesomeBox. Super friendly coaches. Members are all awesome. Clean and well setup location. Training plans truly setup for every individual for all walks of life.

I've been doing this for 2 weeks and I am seeing some results. I'm down 5 lbs in 2 weeks. The staff is very friendly and the other members are very supportive. I appreciate the food plan they set me up with. It is helping me learn how to eat again. Five years of post divorce eating and this has been a huge factor in reminding me that cookies for dinner is not in my best interest.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is classes. I would like to see more class options and an extra time slot or 2.

The 6 week challenge is exactly what I needed. I could do hours of working out every day, but the amount needed to overcome bad eating habits and not knowing how to eat to get the results I wanted made sustainability impossible. Joe made it very easy to stay on track with my eating habits, and the classes provided great workouts for people of any ability as well as accountability. In the end I lost 19.8 lbs and 6.6% body fat while not losing existing muscle.
I encourage people to try the 6 week challenge, but it is only as successful as you want it to be. To get real results it will mean a lifestyle change which is the biggest hurdle.

I was hesitant to get started on the 6-week challenge but I'm glad I did. The coaches are very supportive and walk with you every step of the way, from teaching proper workout techniques and sharing recipes for the meal planning, to daily encouragements. The small gym community is nothing but encouraging and uplifting. I attempted to lose 5% body fat in 6 weeks and ended up losing over 7% by following the strict diet and exercise plans!

I started the six week challenge not knowing what to expect, but I knew I needed something o push me in the the right direction.Erika and Derek are awesome, always there to answer questions and to motivate us. The only issue I had was with the 3D fit scanner. There were quite a few issues with it not scanning correctly ( giving no measurements on my neck and waist) which made it very to track my progress. At the end of the 6 week challenge I lost 25.5 lbs.

Completing Chalkbox 6-week challenge has been the most rewarding accomplishment - I am down 25.6 pounds, feeling amazing and healthy.
Thank you Buffy for sticking with the 5am morning crew and Erika for all the positive encouragement and Derek for the afternoon killer workouts. You are all amazing. Chalk Box is not just a gym - it's a family.
Thank you for pushing me and helping me realize what I am capable of.

If you are looking for a cool and friendly place to work out and where trainers/coaches are truly interested in you and how you progress? Then Chalkbox is the place for you. I was able to shed 24lbs and 5.7% body fat in just 6 weeks. The coaches there are awesome! And they are always available, even outside your workout schedule, for any questions or concerns with your progress you might have. The environment is friendly; you will be able to workout with other people that are looking to improve themselves as well so you feel a great atmosphere when working out. Or if you prefer to workout on your own you can do that as well. I highly encourage you to check them out.

Chalkbox was awesome. Buffy was an amazing trainer. Always so confident and so encouraging. In my six week challenge i lost 20lbs, 10% body fat. Kim the nutritionist was a great help in my meal prepping and they really care how your doing.

I decided to join the Chalkbox training bootcamp because I needed to take time for me. I have had some major health issues in the past and I need to be around for my children. The food plan has helped with some stomach issues I had in the past. It was great going to the Dr and telling him things were improving.
The workouts were the scariest part of the plan- I didn't want someone yelling at me- I knew I would cry. No one yelled at me- there was always encouragement. I learned not to judge myself against others in the gym. I gave the best I could and I lost 20.2 pounds in 2 weeks. I loved the weekly scans. I could see a difference and feel the difference in my body. I needed to go buy new clothes for my body transformation. The coaches were great! Chalkbox is a great way to start your health journey!!!!

I have been a member to ChalkBox since July of 2015. This was close to their first grand opening, they have now moved and expanded. My first impression of the people involved in the gym was that they actually care about my well-being and what is in my best interest. I have been instructing group fitness classes for two years now and these people have the encouragement that it takes to get people wherever they want to be! All I can say is good things about the employees and the members at ChalkBox training. Very mannered but also funny, and they are so knowledgeable. I would really come check their place out if you have ever thought about it. You will be kindly welcomed, supported and loved!

The atmosphere at Chalk Box is like no other. Joe and Sarah do an amazing job at coaching not only Crossfit but also lifestyle skills and nutrition. I've already noticed a change in my body and overall wellness in less than a month! I can't wait to see what happens next.

Joe and Sarah from chalk box are very good coaches! I've always done just weight lifting and was plateauing. I would be in the gym for hours and would barley even break a sweat. I went into chalk box for an assessment, and I was amazed how great of a workout I got from just using my own body weight. Joe pushes you to the next level! I wish I would have done it a long time ago! Another thing I really like about the chalk box, is that it feels like we are all family! I would recommend chalk box to anyone who is wanting to get into crossfit, or to just get into better shape. Anything you are wanting to try to improve, Joe can help you out!
