Riptide CrossFit

I have been part of the Riptide Crossfit FAMILY in Fort Lauderdale since September 2014. I have never felt stronger in my life. The coaches are constantly encouraging all the athletes no matter what their level is! They will always train, correct and push you to your limits. In my personal experience I have a free fibula graft in my left arm and in the past few weeks I have been able to do things that I would not imagine I could do!!! They also support the Military community. Whether is a drop in or you sign up they will give you the same Family treatment. If you are not sure whether this Box is right for you I encourage you to drop by and you will validate my review!

2 drop-ins, 2 great experiences. Corey and Santiago were friendly and fun yet professional when it came to the actual workout. They explained each movement whether you were a novice or a pro so everybody was on the same page.Nice clean facility with a big fan for a cross-breeze when you need it.I will definitely drop in again next time through Lauderdale...

As someone who is brand new to Crossfit I will be the first to admit I was very skeptical about coming in and checking it out. I was nervous due to the fact I had never done anything this strenuous to my body with such high intensity. I didn’t know any of the lingo, had never done many of the lifts or workouts, and most importantly I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to perform at the same rate as others. Well within minutes that fear was gone as I learned that at Riptide it’s not about how much weight you can lift or how fast you can do the workouts. It’s about the form and technique to make sure you are comfortable in what you do so you can progress at a rate that is comfortable for you and prevents unnecessary injuries. I went through a 4 course beginners class where the owners really focus on your form and make sure your technique is down pat before they even let you add weights. That was very helpful and insightful, and even after I started the classes with larger groups Corey has made sure to keep an eye on me in helping with my technique and form. I am really looking forward to my progression. In the past I used to dread going to the gym, now I can’t wait! Riptide gets my highest of recommendations!

I joined CrossFit in 2010 and have since been an employee and an athlete at several boxes in the Miami Dade area. Through my CrossFit journey, Riptide is hands down the most organized, friendly and encouraging box i have been a part of ! The coaches prove that Riptide CrossFit isn't just their job, but their passion. You will always see a smile on their face. I still live in Miami, but the feeling i get at Riptide CrossFit is worth the long drive 5 times a week !

I couldn't be happier to call Riptide my home box. I'll echo everything that's already been said by the other reviewers and will add: the environment is extremely friendly, supportive, challenging, and unpretentious. The coaches Najeeb, Corey and Santi really know what they're doing, challenge and support you, all while keeping it fun. I was in no way a gym rat prior to joining, and now I can easily that my time at Riptide is something that I look forward to every day.

I started come here two months ago and right from the start every coach and member were super helpful and nice. There is a very supportive and positive environment when working out there. The coaches and members are always giving me good feed back on how to improve my skills/technic and after every WOD I feel like I have improved in some way. I definitely recommend Riptide to anyone starting out or already doing crossfit.

It was awesome! I was a drop-in from Pittsburgh visiting family over Christmas and looking for a great Holiday workout. Everyone in the gym was so welcoming and the coaches were very hands on. The coaches made an effort to know our names and make us feel at home at the box! Will def. visit again if I am in the area!

I cant say enough good things about CrossFit Riptide and the trainers there. Its easy to see that the trainers are genuinely concerned about their students and treat everyone equally no matter what fitness level you are at. Everyone is given the attention they need to develop proper form at the same time being pushed to challenge themselves.I have been visiting Riptide for one month now. Every WOD that I complete gives me more motivation for the next.If you are interested in trying CrossFit for the first time or searching for a box to drop in on, CrossFit Riptide is the place.

Was visiting my cousin in Fort Lauderdale and at the last minute was invited to do a class here with her. Was not prepared to work out really, and I had heard stories of how brutal Crossfit workouts can be, so I was pretty nervous. It was definitely brutal, but a lot of fun! Instructors were really engaging and helpful, explained all the different "Workouts Of The Day" well and it felt like immediately I was apart of their community there. It seemed like everyone knew each other and was a super supportive environment. I loved that the trainers were very concerned with making sure you had the right form, and checking in/watching each person and offering gentle corrections and helpful pointers that didn't feel like I was being scolded. Also, everyone there is super hot, I mean, holy cow. From the trainers to the people working out (men and women), there its a lot of eye candy.....it was pretty awesome. This would be my gym if I lived in Fort Lauderdale! Highly recommend it!

I have been doing Crossfit at Riptide for over a year and I am so pleased with the experience I've had. The coaches are very knowledgeable, motivating, and welcoming. After being apprehensive at first about starting to do Crossfit I could not be happier with my decision to join Riptide. The atmosphere is friendly and the WODs are always a fun challenge! I highly recommend this box!
