Riptide CrossFit

I started at Riptide CrossFit with no previous CrossFit experience whatsoever. The coaching staff immediately made me feel very welcome there and I have been enjoying it ever since. All of the coaches are great and provide all the guidance you could ever possibly want, the social community at the gym is also amazing. Classes are set up with an emphasis on reinforcing appropriate lifting/exercise techniques which is great for beginners who are new to certain movements such as olympic lifting or more advanced members who are looking to refine their technique. I highly recommend this gym!

Decided to drop in this Gym as I a friend and I have wanted to get into crossfit. These Guys and Gals were more than welcoming; We were offered a 5 day trial to see if we liked the environment, we did not just like it, we loved it. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the surrounding area

I needed a Crossfit gym to make sure I could do the 20.4 Open workout. Riptide Crossfit was great at following up with my questions and opening their gym to me. The owner Santiago was a great coach and made me feel welcome and very encouraging the entire time I was there. I would highly recommend this gym!!

Every now and then I get to drop into different gyms when I’m traveling. A few weeks I was pleasantly impressed and surprised by @riptidecrossfit .My flight to Colombia was delayed so it gave me time to stop in and be part of the 5 pm class. This ~1200sqft gem embodies everything I know and love about CrossFit. It is pristine clean, organized, personable, and most importantly has amazing coaching is welcoming to the COMMUNITY. With brief queues that were delivered precisely, coach never stopped building me up, teaching me, and celebrating with me. Owner @santicallejas10 even introduced himself when he stopped by the gym briefly, and made me feel so welcome.I am not the type to write reviews but I enjoyed my time here so much, I felt they deserved a shout-out.So friends, if you live in Fort Lauderdale or are just visiting, give this place a go! You wont regret it!

A couple of years ago, I visited Riptide while temporarliy living in the Lauderdale area. I was fortunate to cross paths with the. Every trainer was gracious and helpful. Walking in for the first time was as comfortable as walking into my "home" Box. Great people make for great WOD's. These are great people! Was back n Lauderdale recently and nothing has changed except they are better! Well done you guys!

These guys are awesome – I feel so comfortable working at my own pace and still doing the CrossFit daily cycle. My favorite part is I can work out in the fresh air! I always hear “be careful” when I tell friends I am doing crossfit – I always tell them how present and encouraging the staff are there, they always help with alignments or alternative methods to get the results; been recommending Riptide to all my friends!

After doing Crossfit for a year down in South Beach, I made the move up north and had to find a new gym. After touring a few of the local places, I felt at home at Riptide. Santi, and the rest of the staff, were incredibly welcoming, and took the time to get to know me as well as promote camaraderie and courtesy among all the members/drop-ins. Their coaching methodology is the antithesis of what the "outside world" deems Crossfit to be, which is work out fast and get hurt. I've actually found their programming and focus to be better than my previous gym in terms of spending more time focusing on improving all facets of the 'sport,' where a good portion of the daily class is on skill work. If you can't do it properly, you're going to work on it at lighter weights or slower speeds until you can.It's been a great few weeks here, and would highly recommend to anyone within the area regardless of skill or experience level.

Talk about a great team! I was in town for work, called three Crossfit boxes and after talking to Santi, Riptide was the only one I felt excited to go to. Santi and his entire team of coaches were incredible! So friendly and so prepared to support any person in their class achieve their goals. The space was open and inviting and the membership was strong and helpful. It really appeared they take incredible pride in their coaching, especially when it comes to form and ensuring that every person is prepared to do their best. If I lived in Fort Lauderdale, this would be my home.

This gym sets the bar for great coaching, helpful staff, and friendly members. I love the vibe- the perfect combination of jovial camaraderie and “let’s push ourselves” attitude. I have dropped into CrossFit gyms traveling all over the world, and I always enjoy coming home to the supportive environment at Riptide. Great full-body workouts and top notch coaching.

First of all, this gym is so cool!! It’s design is very unique, bright and fun! Second, the coaching is some of the best I have ever had along with the nicest people and coaches! I highly recommend them for a drop in, if you’ve never even stepped foot in a gym or maybe just wanna meet some awesome people!! The gym is very well kept and clean/organized. Small community feel to it as well! You won’t regret a good workout and meeting some great people!
