CrossFit Elizabethtown

I've been dropping in this box for years and Gary, the main owner always has a smile and welcomes me out open arms. This is the first year my son was with me and joined for a workout and he felt welcomed like family at this box too.The athletes their were incredibly friendly and fun loving. They know that CrossFit is about the community and having fun and you could tell!!To start with, Gary does an incredible job of warming us up and focusing stretching on the muscle groups we're going to hit that day. He takes his time with all of his athletes so nobody feels rushed. During the PVC progression to teach hang squat cleans he took extra time to ensure my son had proper form. He also believes in "time under tension" with the PVC to ensure proper movement before any weights are added.By the time we started he WOD everyone was sure of the movements and the workout would progress. We all pushed each other since it was a team workout on a Saturday. Afterwards we all helped each other clean up and put away weights. If I lived in the area, their is no question I would make this my home box!! Highly recommend them for personal trainer, local gym, group fitness classes, or even nutrition planning. If you also need supplements these guys can help you out too!!If you're driving through CrossFitters, make sure to drop in, you won't regret it!!

Awesome facility and a wonderful community! Coaches were very knowledgeable, helpful, and everyone at the gym was so welcoming! The gym was always clean and the equipment was plentiful. I enjoyed working out here while I lived in Elizabethtown. I highly recommend this Crossfit gym!

Love Crossfit Elizabethtown! The coaches and owner are awesome. I've never been somewhere for group fitness where I immediately felt accepted and supported. It's tough and they'll push you, but you'll see results and will enjoy it. If you're looking for something next level, I highly encourage you join the team. :)

I have been to other Crossfit/Crossfit type gyms a few times and have never received the warm welcome and expert knowledge that I have at CFE. All of the coaching staff really know their stuff and pay close attention to make sure that you get the best and safest experience possible.

Where to begin?When I first started at Crossfit Elizabethtown, I was skeptical. Working in the gym industry for almost five years, I had heard mixed things about the crossfit movement. My husband and I joined Crossfit Elizabethtown and we received a generous military discount. If you are military affiliated or have a soft spot in your heart for the troops, this is the place for you - they go all out to make their military members feel honored. For the first week or so, I was a little confused. Crossfit is set up very differently than any other gym I had ever managed or belonged to. You can pick up on the lingo and the overall concept of Crossfit fairly quickly with their support and a little Google research! In a matter of weeks, I was feeling more motivated to workout than I had in months, possibly years. It was an awesome feeling to just "show up" and perform what you were told to do. No planning, no stressing about programming, no stress on your part - the coaches do all that for you. You just have to do the work! If you are considering this gym but are hesitant due to the prices, stop overthinking it. Sure, the amount of money you spend on this club may seem high in comparison to something like a $10 a month Planet Fitness membership, but there are significant differences that justify the price difference. Most importantly, when you walk into Crossfit Elizabethtown, you will be greeted by name, not something generic. The coaches will get to know you - they will ask you about your weekend and be genuine about it. They will ask you why you only showed up once last week...and you had better have a good answer, too! Another factor in justifying the price is that you are essentially getting small group personal training every single class. The coaches are amazing - I personally only attended the early morning classes lead by Gary, Chris, and Mark - however, I was impressed by every single one of the coaches that I observed and had the pleasure of getting to know. The coaches are educated, professional, and most importantly, personable. They know how to push you to your limit, without pushing you over the edge. They can offer modifications and they would never encourage you to try to lift a weight or perform an exercise that you did not feel safe trying. However, they also want to encourage you to try new things and get you to come out of your comfort zone. They know how to balance your capabilities to grow you while keeping you injury free. If you can commit to attending several classes per week for a consistent month or two, you will find yourself accomplishing things you never thought possible. I increased my box jump height by more than six inches and am now able to perform double unders, though I still get the occasional whipping. If you put forth the effort, the staff and your peers will do everything in their power to ensure that you get the results. And don't think that you have to be "in shape" to get started with Crossfit Elizabethtown. During my time as a member here, I saw members of all ages, shapes, sizes, and fitness levels - and it was awesome! Planet Fitness markets themselves as a "Judgement Free Zone"...but friends...CFE lives this motto and then some!If you join this club, be prepared to join a family that will be hard for you to leave. Unfortunately, I had to terminate my membership with CFE when my classes started up in Bowling Green and time did not permit for me to commute up to Elizabethtown while commuting the opposite direction to WKU. CFE made the cancellation process very smooth and there was absolutely no hassle, as you may get with some other clubs. My one and only complaint about this club is that they have only one location. I hope that they can continue to grow so that they may consider placing another location closer to my home in Grayson County. I appreciate all that they taught me. They definitely took me from a skeptic to a passionate believer in the sport of Crossfit.
