I loved my time at Sand & Steel and highly recommend it. I recently moved from the area and was truly sad to leave the community. I joined the gym as a crossfit sceptic, but S & S was the only gym I could find with great covid protocols during mid to late stages of the pandemic. It took me about two or three months to really settle in and get comfortable. Once it all clicked, I enjoyed the varied workouts, the thorough coaching, and the visible results. The coaching staff are awesome. Dawn and Paul, the owners, were very accommodating. I highly recommend... even if you don't think you will like crossfit.

This gym welcomes EVERYONE...Except of course unvaccinated people. I mean, the vaccine doesn't stop transmission or infection and isn't FDA approved (Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) only) but they'll still gladly discriminate again you and your personal choice. I guess their members only want to catch COVID from fully vaccinated people! Definitely avoid this place!!!

I didn’t know what CrossFit was until I came to Sand and Steal. My professor invited me to workout with him. I met Paul on my first class workout and he was so welcoming, he showed me to workout the right way to make sure I don’t get injured. I have never workout so hard in little time before. After the class was over. Paul invited me to his second class and so I joined. On the second is when I met Dawn and she was also very welcoming. They both gave me good feedback as I was working out. This is the place where you will feel motivated and reach your personal fitness goals done. I definitely recommend you want to see progress. You will feel the pain and the gain. Thank you all for having me and made me feel welcomed.

This review is for all the people who second guess their ability to do CrossFit or any kind of fitness:The OnRamp classes are great for individuals with ZERO to little CrossFit experience. Paul is diligent about making sure your form and technique is correct. All of the trainers are kind, helpful, and knowledgable! The workouts are fantastic and challenging no matter your fitness level. The people are the BEST part of Sand and Steele! The community is awesome! Everyone here from the coaches to the members are absolutely amazing and encouraging (even when you almost bust your behind trying to jump over a hurdle)!Shoutout to my personal trainer Jose who always keeps me accountable and moving while making the sessions fun!

CrossFit Sand & Steel has had a huge impact on my health and well-being. I was a bit nervous to sign up at first given I had been sedentary for years and not in the best physical shape. I am so glad I did sign up though because it has been life-changing. The instructors are all great— starting with Paul and Dawn and they are very professional and committed to your fitness goals. Alicia, Jose, EJ and Jen are also amazing and are solid partners to me in my journey to better health. They are all extremely knowledgeable, patient and professional. They have also built a great sense of community and belonging at their location. For all this I am extremely grateful!

I wish I had read about the cancellation policy closely before joining the gym. They charge you for 3 months regardless of the circumstances for cancellation. which is over $600 to cancel the membership. Anyone joining new please consider whether you are ready to make a 1 year commitment. This fine print is not eay to come across during sign-up.My appartments lease term policy is more flexible.

If you're looking for a place to improve your overall fitness and health, regardless of whether or not you know anything about Crossfit, Sand and Steel is the place to be. The owners, Paul and Dawn, and their team of skilled and knowledgeable coaches, will do everything they can to make sure you are meeting your goals. Workouts are tailored to your individual needs while also challenging you. The staff is super responsive, easily reachable, and very friendly! As for the services, there are a number of them, from Yoga to Nutrition classes to Personal Training. Even with a hectic schedule, there is something here for everyone. The sense of accomplishment after completing a difficult workout and the community that has been built here are two reasons why I continue to return day after day. I highly recommend Sand and Steel not only for the services, but also for the diverse and inclusive environment that has fostered a group of like-minded individuals. Very grateful to be part of the S&S family.

They get to know every athlete’s skill level and help scale the workouts to meet you where you’re at in your fitness journey. The classes are tough but fun and they offer a wide variety of options such as yoga, butts and guts, and even an arms obstacle course racing (OCR) training class!

My first CrossFit experience after a lot of research, and I do not regret it! The coaches and owners have tons of invaluable experience and certifications that apply to almost anyone and any fitness, mobility and nutrition angle you can think of. They lead an inclusive and welcoming box that knows how to bring in new members of varying fitness levels, and more importantly to me, injury issues.They have done an amazing job listening to my injury history and concerns and helping me scale any workout to my needs, and focusing on form as key to injury prevention and rehab!
