RoxFire Fitness

Coach LJ uses just the right balance of challenge and support to push you to success. I particularly appreciate his ability to juggle individual attention within the context of group classes, and like that he offers a variety of approaches to exercises to make them accessible to all skill levels. Great for first timers and Crossfit enthusiast both.

I attended Patriot Crossfit (PCF) throughout LJ’s tenure as head coach and the culture he brought to PCF changed the gym. Always smiling and energetic, LJ was constantly motivating the class to get that extra rep, coaching on technique and form, and having fun doing it. I found LJ’s coaching very effective. He gave me a ton of tips/tricks on various lifts and movements to help me improve form or to actually get the lift. He helped build the PM community at PCF by setting up events both inside and outside of the gym, such as strength/speed/technical focused 6 week sessions like SwoleFit, Friday night ‘Overtime’ workouts, Spartan races, and happy hours/bar crawls. He led the programming for PCF and it was a tailored version of Invictus, so it was challenging for the most elite athletes but also scalable for beginners. I really enjoyed the programming. It kept things interesting while building to various checkpoints or goals throughout the year like a 3 rep DL max or a hero wod. If you’re in the Fort Lauderdale area and looking for a CrossFit community and top notch coach, I would highly recommend checking out RoxFire Fitness.

I dropped in LJ's box this morning to mix up my normal Monday routine. What a wonderful experience! LJ is a very knowledgeable coach, and I loved the flow of his class. We were moving the entire time start to finish, and the workout was tough, so it was a very impactful hour. LJ is also a lot of fun and the box has a great vibe. Everyone was friendly. The facility itself is organized, clean and has plenty of (new!) equipment. I've been doing crossfit for over 5 years, and I enjoyed the experience so much, I already told LJ I would be back.

Coach LJ has really positive energy and considers the individual goals and skill level of each member. I had never done crossfit before but I did my best within my skill level and did way more than I thought I would be able to. Also, this method was way more productive than working out on my own. Definitely recommend!

Roxfire is a fantastic CrossFit box in Fort Lauderdale. The owner, LJ, and his team are kind, funny, encouraging and so skilled at instruction that no one should be intimidated to explore the benefits of CrossFit training! It truly has a family feel from the moment you walk in the door. And it's air conditioned HELLO 💪🤣 I highly recommend!

I had a privilege to get to know LJ when he was a Head Coach and then a General Manager of Patriot CrossFit gym in Arlington, VA. He is an incredibly gifted athlete and an extremely knowledgeable CrossFit coach. I loved taking classes with him because he would create a very welcoming environment for everyone in the class, no matter how big or how small it were. LJ’s classes were always fun yet he would push you to your limits! I especially enjoyed his mobility and stretching exercises – something that often gets neglected by some other CrossFit coaches. LJ has that unique ability to quickly connect with people and create a warm and welcoming environment in the gym. He shows big enthusiasm for the sport he loves and his charismatic character and big smile are contagious! In addition to being a great coach, LJ also organized many successful events for the Patriot gym community and he did that with great professionalism and passion. I wish LJ all the best as he embarks on this new endeavor of opening his own CrossFit affiliate in Florida. I know it is going to be a great success!

LJ is a phenomenal coach! He is an incredible motivator, works to connect with each client personally and provides n fantastic environment for each person to grow. The culture created becomes more like a family and he is a massive reason why my wife and I have enjoyed such a wonderful journey into Crossfit. Wether you are a seasoned Crossfit veteran or you've never touched a weight in your life - you will have the opportunity to learn, get fit, be safe and have a fantastic time doing it!

Roxfire is THE SPOT for you to achieve your fitness goals and have a great time doing it. I've been to boxes all around South Florida, and LJ is the first coach I've worked with who knows when to push you, when to scale you back, and when to make adjustments to make sure you get the most out of your workout and enjoy the process.

Absolutely amazing experience! LJ was super friendly and created a great training program for me. This is such a fun class and I would highly recommend it. I even made some new friends through this gym. Try this gym, you won't be disappointed. Best Crossfit in Fort Lauderdale

From the first time I walked into the last gym where LJ was coaching, he was super friendly and welcoming and would always say hi and ask how I was doing. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging coach who wants you to succeed and gives you the tips and cues to do so. He cares about his members and even organized an extra “Overtime” class for those who wanted to get some extra reps in. Being coached by him was always fun, but getting to grind through a workout alongside him was even better! I know it’s been a dream of his to open his own gym, so seeing RoxFire come to life has been awesome and inspiring!
