Luminary Fitness

An exceptional establishment with even better coaching. The coach there, Tyler Cole, literally saved my dog and girlfriend from my burning vehicle in the parking lot from a freak cigarette accident. Forever indebted to him

This CrossFit gym has everything you need to supported and inspired in whatever walk of fitness you may be coming from. Everyone is SO kind and friendly!!! The people and coaches uphold a fantastic balance between pushing you and making you feel accomplished during a workout. The main coach is personable and professional. He takes the time to get to know you and do his job by training you well. He took the time to help me get my kipping PUs down, which is a movement I struggled with a whole year prior.

I started here at Crossfit Luminary in January 2018 and just ended my membership December 2019 due to travel nursing. When I first moved to Grand Rapids I didn't know which crossfit gym I wanted to go to. I'm from Charlotte, MI and did crossfit there for a couple years. Originally when I moved to Grand Rapids I quoted most affordable crossfit gyms and ones that weren't too far from me in Kentwood, Crossfit Luminary being one of them. I did a trial run at Crossfit Luminary and I loved it! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming which is great because sometimes crossfit members are very intimidating. The gym was big and open with a good amount of equipment. A lot of different times that you could go to a class and they had open gym. I've been to many crossfit classes but what I loved most is that the teacher in the beginning of class would go over each technique. Doesn't matter how times you've done the move it's always so good to remind yourself the best way to perform to prevent any injury. There's crossfit family gatherings. So much support. I recommend Crossfit Luminary!

Highly recommend! I completed the 6 week challenge in February- they gave me a nutrition guide to follow, and taught the workouts step by step. I had been to other cross fit gyms before, but here I felt they really met me at my level while challenging me at the same time. All the coaches have been very positive and encouraging. They care about your technique and having good form, which is helpful for me because I am still new to crossfit! I have learned so much from this place, and continue to enjoy the classes!

Staff is knowledgeable, workouts are challenging and fun. Always lots of new people around so you don't feel out of place. I hurt my back doing squats a few years ago and had avoided them since, but Luminary coaches helped me correct my form and I now feel comfortable squatting again!

With the help from all of the coaches I was able to go beyond the required goals of my six week challenge. There wasn't a time I was unmotivated to go to a class because they made it fun, but also challenging. 100% would recommend CrossFit Luminary and its coaches for motivating everyone involved and to reach their full potential.

I did the 6 week challenge and lost 5.8% body fat and gained 2.4% body muscle! Never thought that I could do that in a matter of 6 short weeks! The challenge classes were a great stepping stone for someone who has no experience with weights before and did a great job of preparing you for the normal workout classes. I love the coaches, they are all very enthusiastic and willing to help you. It is also great to know that all of the workouts can be scaled down to fit your body and capabilities. This is very much a judgement-free zone. Everyone encourages everyone.

I got a lot to say about this gym so I apologize for the long review..I was brand new to crossfit when I started at Luminary so I was really nervous my first day, but after being there just once I was eager to come back for more. The coaches are absolutely AMAZING! They are great educators on the sport of crossfit and explain the importance of each stretch and warm-up, which I really enjoyed and appreciated! They are wonderful at giving each athlete a good balance of constructive criticism as well as positive feedback on things you are doing well! I'd highly suggest this gym to ANYONE who is not only just interested in trying out crossfit but for anyone who is trying to get back in shape, needs a challenge in their workout, trying to loose weight, trying to gain muscle, coordination, etc, or even if you just want to get out of the house and meet new people! It's beneficial for EVERYONE and on so many different levels!!It's also a great atmosphere! You walk in and all the coaches greet you by name which I find very impressive! Not only do they remember names but they are able to recall your physical limits and know what you are capable of. There were a few days KC had to tell me what weights I need to use or what resistance band I should use because I was still new and didn't really know what I was doing yet. Not only are the coaches extremely encouraging, but the WHOLE GYM is! Everyone cheers eachother on and is super friendly. No one cares if you are the one lifting the lightest weights (that was me sometimes) or taking the longest to finish a workout (also me)!I am moving out of state shortly and I only wish I would have started at this gym sooner...either that or I wish I could take them with me :) I was only able to be a part of Luminary for a month but I learned so much and met some amazing people in that short amount of time.Thanks for a great month Crossfit Luminary!

This is my first experience with CrossFit so I can't compare to other CrossFit gyms. However, I've been a member of a few gyms before and this is the first gym I've been too that I feel like I can call a home. Great coaches, friendly and motivating atmosphere. I feel like I will be pushed to grow in the most amazing ways! If you are at all interested in CrossFit or just getting in good shape you should definitely try out this gym. Love this place!

Great place, great people! One of the big draws for me at CF Luminary, apart from skill knowledge and expert coaching, is that the friendly people of Luminary have gone out their way to bring me into the group. And not just the staff, but the whole community. Several of the other members have gone out of their way to welcome me, and offer assistance and advice. This is encouraged in every WOD, and that impressed me from day one. Being somewhat introverted, this has really kept me wanting to come back and continue to be a part of it all.The scaling of exercises for your skill level or individual health concerns makes the concept approachable for people of any fitness level. This place is not just focused on raw, competitive exercise, but rather on whole-body fitness, and being a welcoming, inclusive community that makes you want to achieve your potential. Apart from that, the light hearted competition, varied workouts, and focus on full-body mobility really make me want to work harder than I ever thought I would. Most importantly, after two months, I can already see and feel the difference in my flexibility, range of motion, strength, and endurance. I would recommend CF Luminary to anyone who wants to improve themselves. I'll keep coming back for more!
