CrossFit 8 Mile

Love this place, Coaching is amazing and are all very involved with everyone during a workout. The community here is great as well

This is a great gym and from what I have seen so far a community if people getting together to improve their health I am 53 and do a modified program till I get back into better condition but love the experience so far.

A great gym with wonderful coaches.

This gym has the greatest atmosphere with an even better community.

Great Box! Jamie is a very knowledgeable trainer and pushes you to do the moves correctly.

Dropped in and was warmly welcomed by everyone. Programming is inventive with attentive coaching. Great equipment and location. Looking forward to the next time I can drop in!

When I think of Crossfit 8 Mile and its Barbell Club, one word immediately comes to mind: excellence. If I were granted a magic wish and could bring my dream athletic facility into existence, it wouldn’t look very different from Crossfit 8 Mile. Ideal not only for me, but for my athletically ambitious younger brother as well as my aging grandparents. Here’s why:The facility itself is perhaps the best I’ve seen. It’s clean, stylized, and stocked with enough equipment to make even elite athletes giddy. It’s overwhelmingly clear that Nick’s pride of ownership carries through into every detail. That said, it’s not just a facility- it’s a place of serious athleticism.It’s clear that Nick and the other coaches LOVE what they do. They’re serious athletes themselves and they’re always encouraging and helping members to better themselves. In my own case, I’d been a member not yet a week before Nick helped me signup for a weightlifting meet and along with the tireless commitment of Coach Josh, he proceeded to mentor me over the next two weeks with a whirlwind of instruction, preparation, encouragement, and planning as I prepared for the competition. Understand that I had minimal prior experience and that a typical training cycle leading up to a competition lasts around nine weeks. Two weeks later, Coach Josh drove across the entire state to coach me through the competition during which I made all of my lifts and achieved a total that qualified me for the State Championship. I’m confident that an athlete with elite aspirations in Crossfit, Weightlifting, Powerlifting, or Strongman would find everything they need to become a champion at Crossfit 8 Mile.But despite being a place of serious athleticism, it’s also a strong and wonderful community open to people of all walks of life. Within days of signing up, I was being approached by dozens of friendly faces welcoming me and inviting me to community activities. During my short time there, I felt I’d acquired an entirely new set of friends and was touched by the zeal with which they cheered me on at my weightlifting meet as if we’d been longtime friends.I should note that I’ve had the opportunity to visit many athletic facilities that cater to both elite athletes as well as people who are just looking to get in shape. In my experience, a divide often forms between the two groups and hangs over the culture of the gym. The elite athletes draw a majority of the attention from the coaches and everybody else gets overlooked. This leads to cliques within the gym culture in which friendliness does not extend outside each clique. Not so for Crossfit 8 Mile. From day one, it was clear to me that Crossfit 8 Mile is ONE community in which everybody knows and supports each other, be they an older mother dealing with medical challenges or a young athlete prepping for high-level competition.In short, Crossfit 8 Mile is synonymous with excellence. Nick, Josh, and everybody else in the community, thank you!
