CrossFit Intent

I walked into CFI three weeks after having major abdominal surgery. I wanted to change my life and do something new. I've always been scared of gyms or group workouts. I was scared of being judged or not knowing what I was doing. This gym was a great decision for me. They worked with me closely after my surgery to help me still meet goals but avoid injury. They've taught me so much. Everyone there is patient and kind and supportive. Zero judgment, 100% support. No matter who you are, what you look like, what your experience level is. This is a good place to be.

Great place to work out and it's because of the people and culture that is created by the staff and trainers. They support, motivate, and hold you accountable to your goals. Best place in town to getting your life and health back on track.

I’ve learned so much in my short time here. The coaches are super helpful and classes are always fun! Everyone pushes you to be the best version of yourself! I’ve been going here for almost 4 months and it’s been a great experience!

Family friendly - We love CFI youth and teen classes! I was so excited after joining to find out they provide youth and teen classes. My daughter has been doing classes for 4yrs. Coach Katelyn really works on the basics of lifting and movements with the kids and teens. She brings lifestyle and nutrition into the programs in a fun way that gets kids excited to make healthier choices and shows teens how to continue fueling and supporting their bodies for their sports or just everyday healthier living. It is great to hear my daughter talk about her PR’s in lifting and how proud she is of herself in accomplishing a new goal her and Coach have set. I have seen changes in both her self confidence and in her food choices.

Absolutely the best gym in the Akron area.I became a single parent when my wife passed away with leukemia and Jason+team became my family. They entertained my 7 year old son while I got in a workout. With health issues of my own, they tailored around that and customized my workouts to prevent injury or complications. I cannot say enough good things about CFI and this community. They’ve really supported me in so many ways even when I am NOT in the gym. It’s not uncommon to see people bring the kids. The trainers are all patient and nurture the mind and body through the entire CrossFit experience.

Joining CF intent has been like joining a supportive family! Everyone is welcoming and ready to cheer you on towards whatever fitness goals you have. Best decision Ive made was joining CF Intent!

I’m a newer CrossFit member, and was in town to visit family. I decided to drop in and check out the CrossFit Intent gym. The owner, Jason, got connected to me prior to coming to the gym, told me what to expect, and asked about my background in CrossFit - this was a really nice gesture that made me feel comfortable dropping into the gym. During my session, coach Katelyn led the exercise, and was phenomenal! She had a lot of great knowledge, shared great coaching tips and advice, and also checked in on me as someone dropping in. Additionally, coaches Clay and Jess were taking the class and introduced themselves to me and offered to help me and get anything I needed to have an awesome experience. Overall, I had a fantastic app one and felt extremely welcomed and supported. If I lived in the area, I would definitely be a member, but also glad to know I have a gym to come to when I come up to the Akron area.

This is a great gym for both beginners and experienced cross fitters. Anyone who is looking to get some solid coaching and have a fun time doing it, I would recommend CrossFit intent. Jason does a great job at bringing the best out of you while keeping it a fun filled environment. Katelyn did awesome with me as a beginner to CrossFit by breaking down each movement step by step and explaining the importance of proper form. 5star gym for me. Wish I still lived in the area to attend

CrossFit Intent is not just a gym it’s a home. I used to be terrified and intimidated every time I stepped foot in a gym. Here I have found connection and belonging from the very start….the community here is amazing and I love interacting with the coaches and members every time I’m there! The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging and motivating….right there every step of the way helping you overcome challenges and frustrations during the workout and even bigger, throughout your individual fitness journey. CFI focuses on each person as a whole, with sleep, nutrition, movement and more….not just running you through a workout. Safe to say I highly recommend!

I have been a member of CrossFit intent for just over a year now and have had a lot of ups and downs in my personal life during that time. One of the things that I really love and appreciate about the box is that I never feel bad if I have to take time off to deal with something and I always pick up right where I left off with not only the coaches, but also the other members. One of the things that the coaches do well is foster an environment for friendship and camaraderie. In addition to that they are extremely professional and I feel safe when I am working out because they teach the movements clearly, but are also always watching and correcting. I was the member of another CrossFit gym in a different state for a couple of years and didn’t see nearly the amount of progress I have at CrossFit Intent in a much shorter time. 🤗
