CrossFit Estero

I signed up for a Crossfit membership in June (2014). My summer was booked with work, family and summer classes. I am an FGCU student and I just needed a place to work out and become more fit and overall more healthy. I decided to try out crossfit because I had heard amazing things from friends. With my hectic schedule, I was not able to go as often as I had liked but every time I could, it was a nice environment to be around, the coaches were always eager to help and see you improve. Monthly membership is a lot but when I look at what I have gotten out of it, I think it is very much worth it! :)

Great way to stay/get in shape. The instructors are all knowledgeable and stay interested in your progress. I am older than most members, so I can't keep up with the "kids" but they tailor the workout to what I can realistically accomplish and that keeps me motivated to keep coming back.I had signed up for LA Fitness' expensive individual sessions and did not find them to my liking. After I tried the free classes at CF, I cancelled my LA Fitness program (even paid a penalty) and joined--it has been worth every penny.

I can't say enough great things about this place! I have been doing CrossFit for a little over a month now. I was very intimidated at first but the staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They push me to my limit physically every single day, but they know how much I can handle without pushing it too far. The staff and coaches have been so incredibly motivational and helpful. I was even able to sit down and talk with a staff member about my diet and things I can do to improve what I am eating. I have lost weight, gained muscle and changed my life into something even more amazing because of these people. CrossFit Estero/The Training Box is a community of people who want to see each other succeed. Even though I have only been with them for about a month or so, you can tell these people are almost like family to each other. I look forward to going every day. Well, except Sunday! That's my rest day. :)

I have always worked out at gyms and even had personal trainers and never really felt like I got anything out of it. I decided to try Cross fit and I left feeling great! I have been going to Cross fit for a little over a month and every workout is different, motivating and everyone really pushes you to do it. The coaches are always around to help you and make sure you are doing everything right so you don't hurt yourself. I never liked working out with people this intense at the gym but here they really embrace you with what you have and help you improve with out feeling judged

When I joined CrossFit, I was very excited. I had been wanting to join because of all the great successes I see with it in personal fitness. I hadn't thought it would be able to live up to my expectations, but it did! It surpassed them. The box has been so incredible in helping me with my fitness. I have become stronger, faster, and better in general, and have made a variety of new friends along the way. The coaches and staff are helpful, kind, and motivating, and they always know to make sure you take it easy if you are pushing too far.Thank you, CrossFit!

A very motivating staff, and a great facility.Hopefully crossfit adds more room and equipment to keep up with the growing numbers of new people!

I had been working out steadily at another large gym for a year before my body began to hit it's plateau. My friend told me about Crossfit, and after a few days of research I signed up for a complimentary class. It took one class for me to realize what I had been missing... The workout was an interesting mix of weight lifting and cardiovascular exercises. In a month of going to this gym I havent seen the same workout. I'm constantly seeing changes and i love it. There're people of ALL ages and athletic abilities at this gym so don't be afraid to give it a try...

I'm a newcomer to CrossFit and have been training at The Training Box for about 3 weeks now and I have gained so much knowledge and support from the Instructors in such a short period of time. Like most people unfamiliar to CrossFit, I wanted to give it a shot but never had the courage to do so. I found myself hitting a plateau with my weight training and knew that I needed to change things up and shock my body. So I put in a call to my good friend Jonas Elliott, a Class Assistant at The Training Box and told him that I was ready for a change! He met me at my first class, introduced me to one of the owners and staff (who are AWESOME) and showed me around and before I knew it I was on the floor getting ready for my first WOD. I was beyond nervous at first but the Instructors and Jonas made it a point to help me with the movements and make sure that my form was correct. Even other members that I never met before were encouraging me to push myself! Looking around at everyone was so motivating to me, a breath of fresh air from what I was so accustomed to doing for so many years. So if you are looking to give CrossFit a try, I highly recommend checking out The Training Box!Amy Vetter - IFBB Pro Figure Athlete

I've done CrossFit is NYC, Florida and South Africa. The Training Box so far has been one of the most dynamic and motivating groups I've trained with. The classes are larger than I've seen in other CrossFit gyms but they manage them flawlessly. With at least 2 trainers per class, the classes flow seamlessly and everyone gets one-on-one support to help motivate, perfect technique and push it to the limit. The gym is well equipped and well managed and the receptionist is knowledgable, helpful and very professional.

CrossFit at The Training Box is not your average exercise class. Bring your game face I say!! It has literally changed my entire view of fitness and what it means to commit to a workout. After a very short time at CrossFit my body has begun to change, I can see my abs again and I wasn’t sure that was possible at 43. I believe CrossFit is going to be my “Fountain of Youth”. What I really like about CrossFit is that it is diverse and I always seem to get crushed at each workout as no two workouts are exactly the same. The instructors are awesome! Without the instructors’ can-do attitude I would have given up. Their positive attitudes are so contagious; I just have to keep coming back. What I also like about the classes is that they cater to people of all ages and abilities and each class pushes me to get a little more fit each time I go. I still have much more to accomplish on the journey I have laid out for myself, but with CrossFit at The Training Box I know that it will be a challenging, but fun adventure. I definitely recommend CrossFit to anyone who is really ready to make a change in his or her overall well being.-Heather
