This gym is all the components I love about CrossFit without all the negatives. Workouts can be tailored to ANY fitness level and any complex lifts are done safely and slowly. Ashley has created an inclusive environment for all and I would highly recommend this gym to both beginner and advanced fitness students. Do yourself a favor and try it out and see. Everyone is so friendly and supportive and I always love coming to class. Also Ashley's dog is perfection.

HBIC Ashley is a top tier owner and coach. Her mission of making her gym inclusive and accessible welcomes all communities of people to feel involved and invested in. I trust her to make all activities safe and tailored to every individual that walks into her gym and that's why she's the gym I referral all my patients to. As a chiropractor I see a lot of patients with lifting injuries and Ashley is who I trust to take care of the people I care about. Her work ethic and drive are matched by none and she has gone above and beyond at creating virtual classes to keep her clients safe and busy from the comfort of their own home. She shows up to work every day ready to grind and the size of her heart is evident in the work that she does. She will make your membership work for you, whatever the cost. You won't regret being a part of this gym's family.

Scared of CrossFit? This gym is for you. Newbie to working out? This gym is for you. Feel uncomfortable in traditional gym environments? This gym is for you.Ashley (gym owner) has created a community of supportive people who all have a similar goal in mind... to get their bodies moving! No matter what your ability, there's a place for you here.I NEVER thought I'd be interested in CrossFit (eww no thanks to the macho bro-culture), but at Prism Fit, it's different. I am proud of how strong I've become and I feel SO GOOD after working out here. Ashley helps exercise feel like a good time, rather than a punishment. The team mentality keeps me motivated to keep coming back.

I was already super happy with my gym experience at Prism before covid-19. It is clean, friendly and so supportive! I was driving 30 minutes to the gym and still attending regularly (a miracle with 3 kids under 10). The community is something special, I have never felt that way at any other gym.The shift to how it has operated in this strange covid time has just completely confirmed that this is the gym for me. I have never stuck with working out at home until now. Ashley has been very proactive in making changes and shifting to an online format for work outs, checking out equipment to those who need it, all while continuing to help us take care of our bodies and making us strong! Besides all of these wonderful things she continues to make sure we all feel supported at this time. She always makes me feel like my kids are included if they need to be or if I need to escape them she supports that too! I am confident with the steps Prism is taking to plan for eventual reopening, and that it will be a safe supportive place again. I am SO excited to continue my training and workouts in a post covid world. I honestly never thought that would be the case. Thanks Ashley!

I always found weights and CrossFit intimidating. I had also heard horror stories of people hurting themselves and competitive gym culture, and this gym counters those horror stories. Ashley, the owner and main trainer, does such an incredible job of scaffolding and micro-corrections, and I feel like I’m learning so much about my body and am getting stronger. I’m surprised by how much I enjoy it! And, she is creating an incredibly welcoming and supportive community...You’ll be welcomed and your accomplishments will be celebrated whatever your fitness background and level is.

To me, Prism Fit is not a gym. It is a supportive community of people with their own unique goals of fitness, movement, and strength building. I’ve done almost every type of workout imaginable and been to many gyms. None of which met me where I was at and provided me with the support I needed. Ashley’s also the first trainer to ever even ask me what my goals are so she can monitor, track, and provide me with the coaching I need to reach my goals. You can feel how completely and genuinely invested in every member of her community she is. Prism Fit is a place for fun, hard work, fitness, and community. It’s the only “gym” that I’ll ever go to again.

I love Prism Fit so much. The community is phenomenal (I didn't love weightlifting at first but I became a member because every single person I've met here is so kind, welcoming and encouraging) and the physical space is really clean and nice. Before I started, I was super intimidated by CrossFit but the owner, Ashley, is truly one of the most incredible coaches I've worked with. She really pays attention to your form and she's really patient and helpful with me even though I'm constantly asking questions. But what's really remarkable about Prism Fit is how Ashley has handled the transition to quarantine. She's creating so much content for members and is providing such a welcome and needed community during this time. She's created a workout for every day and then leads three classes a day. She also is offering yoga and kids classes. I'm connected to a number of gyms and studios across a variety of disciplines (namely yoga, aerial and dance) and no one is anywhere close to providing the amount of content she's providing and the level of community she's been able to cultivate during this time is unprecedented.

This gym is amazing. Ashley (owner and instructor) is both super accommodating and incredibly motivating. I never felt super comfortable in a gym space, and Prism Fit is so welcoming, approachable and INCLUSIVE. The energy is awesome - highly recommend!
