CrossFit Bloomington

I’ve been at CFB for 3 months now and I can honestly say this is my favorite CrossFit gym ever!! The community here is top notch and super supportive. Excellent coaches & members alike. Highly recommend joining :)

Long time over due for this review. I have traveled in this area due to work and each time I visit this box it's always amazing. The staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming . The community is as you would expect of Crossfit, members are friendly and great people to help motivate you even if your just dropping by. A must visit you you not regret it.

Good workouts and atmosphere

Great people, great coaches, and great workouts

Very welcoming and amazing workouts

I absolutely love working out here! Everyone is so great and supportive!

The atmosphere is very friendly, all the coaches pay personal 1:1 attention, motivate and give necessary feedback.

Great workout for what you pay, coaches are very pleasant and professional. I love working out here.

Great coaches and awesome community. You don't have to worry about how good or bad you are now. The coaches work with you and find what's most needed to you at each point. I use to hate working out but now I can't wait for the next workout day.

I've been to 7 different CrossFit gyms and this is the only one I can confidently say that I will not return. At my very first CF gym, in Atlanta where "southern hospitality" is standard, I remember a girl crying on the floor and all the coaches and athletes worked so hard to help her figure out that her nutrition was affecting her performance, mood, etc, and then they worked together to help her find better alternatives. There have been times where I've been away from CFB for a few weeks and on my return, was attacked for being 3 minutes late to a class that hadn't started yet, and I think about that girl at my first gym. Is there a reason I hadn't been to the gym in a while? Is there a reason I was late? Could I be experiencing some frustrations related to or outside of the gym? Nobody sought to understand or help me, paid "coaches" and members alike, and that is how I've felt for the duration of my 9 months at this gym. I cleaned the gym weekly in exchange for membership (even when I couldn't make it to the workouts for weeks on end sometimes) so I still got automated texts as if I was a wavering prospect; I replied to one invitation to share my concerns back in December and got no response. Then, more recently, I responded to another automated text and was told to keep my opinion to myself as it is not my gym (in this case, my opinion was to reach out to people who attended Bring A Friend Day and invite them back in, like my introverted friend who *did* want to come back but didn't know what next steps to take). The final straw was when a coach called me out from across the room for not participating in a warmup movement and I told her I'd rather discuss my rationale in private. Long story short, she kept pushing until I blew up on her in front of the whole class and told her I was trying to keep things professional and not voice my concerns in front of everyone. Unheard, I finally left, where the head coach happened to be walking in. I told him I wouldn't be returning and he said, "good, nobody wants you here anyway," to which I responded, "thanks for taking the time to understand my point of view." Before I started here, I was warned about the owner telling people if they don't like something about the gym, they can go somewhere else. They don't receive feedback well, despite verbalizing open door policy and safety-conscious attitudes. They don't salt their iced parking lots in the winter or wear face masks properly. They have limited equipment and next to no open gym time outside of morning and evening classes. Instead of advertising student specials and attracting newcomers to the gym at the start of the semester, they started charging their coaches for membership in order to afford to pay them. Other gyms I've been to have photographers that regularly post pictures of members (with consent) to various social media and make them feel special, nutritionists/dietitians, physical therapists, etc and the "holistic approach to fitness" that CrossFit prides itself on really shines through at other gyms compared to this one. All this coming from a strong extrovert who invites lone diners to their group dinner table, a physical therapy assistant with a strong orthopedic background, my L1 and over 10 years training for and competing in triathlon up to Ironman distance as well as coaching other triathletes, swimmers, wrestlers, etc. There are a handful of empathetic individuals at this gym but overall, I have felt very unheard and undervalued at this gym and if you're looking for a sense of belonging, I'm sorry to say that I would not recommend CFB.
