This is my first time joining a CrossFit gym. I have been impressed by the personal attention by Ann and all the coaches. I had a back injury and they have all worked together to provide modifications when necessary and support me in my journey incorporating fitness back into my life. All the equipment is new and in great condition. Such a positive environment. The members all provide great support and encouragement. So excited to have found this gym and to become part of this CrossFit family. Highly recommend this gym.

Essential CrossFit deserves 10 stars! I came in with 0 experience in the CrossFit world. Ann & Jared, and the other members go above and beyond to ensure I’m comfortable and safe when trying new movements. From the beginning, Essential’s harbors that “family” community that I can’t recommend enough! Plus, i never knew 5:45AM could be so fun, but it really is!! Also, if you’re a newbie, try out the Foundational Course they offer! One-on-one lessons for all CrossFit moves.

Great Crossfit gym for anyone from the beginner to the experienced athlete. Everyone at the gym is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and willing to help you push yourself to your potential. Super glad I found this gym, made me feel like I was right at home on day 1. I can't see myself at any other gym!

This box is SO AWESOME!!! Ann is beyond accommodating, she's also a fantastic coach. The location is SUPER-CLEAN, FAMILY FRIENDLY and is like a SUPPORTIVE ENCOURAGING family with REAL people working to be more fit and healthy! If you're a long-time x-fitter or especially a newer one, this location will get you going in the direction YOU want and support your efforts (small or large/ RX or modified!). What is this gym NOT?? It's NOT filled with snotty staff, competition-seekers or conceited over-achievers looking for glory and recognition of how big their biceps look while they walk on chicken legs (eh-hem....reignited....).

My wife and I have been members for several months now. What originally attracted us were the positive reviews and proximity from our home in Porters Neck. Essential CrossFit is tucked away from main roads and other commercial businesses...more trees less noise. Parking is great too, which has been an issue at other gyms. The owner was quick to greet us with a smile and provide a tour. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the gym and how tidy everything was overall. The direction we've received has been wonderful regarding proper form, never pushing us to lift more weight, with lots of positive motivation and energy. The largest difference I have seen so far is in my strength, my back and legs specifically. These improvements have also helped with my running regiment. Being in our early 50's, we simply want to keep moving, stay strong and not worry about injuring ourselves. Essential CrossFit has checked off all of these boxes and more!
