Community Feedback

"I joined Coalition over a year ago and it has been a great improvement to my overall fitness and health. The programming is challenging but smart where you can feel the progress over time. The coaches genuinely care, give great feedback, and know how to push you in the right way. What really makes it special is the people. The members are welcoming, supportive, and make even the toughest workouts fun. No matter where you’re starting, Coalition is a place you’ll feel comfortable and motivated to grow."

"I’ve been a member about 2 1/2 years, but I wish I joined sooner. I switched gyms looking for somewhere with a lot of barbells and racks to continue lifting by myself. I ended up really enjoying the variety of the classes, and now do a mix of the functional fitness classes, technique classes (Olympic/CrossFit gymnastics), and lifting on my own. I’ve put on a lot of good weight, learned a lot of new skills, and all of my lifts are up 10-20+%. I appreciate every class has a built-in dynamic warmup, and I’ve stayed healthier here than when I lifted on my own. I don’t think most people join new gyms thinking about the community, but it’s ended up being one of my favorite parts. Everyone is friendly and encouraging (coaches and members) and there are a lot of fun events throughout the year. If you are looking to make friends, you definitely will at Coalition. One final thing, the ownership is as good as it gets. Coalition is a well run business, but it feels like a passion project. One that I am happy to support."

"I’m only a few months new to CrossFit, but Coalition has been the gym that motivates me to get better everyday! From the great programming for group classes, to open gym and skills classes, the coaches and people are also incredible to be around and work out with. Looking forward to getting faster and stronger this year! does group classes, open gyms, and skill workshops and Coalition does all of that. The coaches are so helpful and everyone at the gym foster a great gym environment. I would definitely reccomend!"
