Why Choose CrossFit Coastal?

The Difference

If you’ve visited other CrossFit gyms, then you may have found out (and if you haven’t, then pay attention) – we are not all the same. While the core movements are present, each CrossFit affiliate has their own unique teaching methods, workout programming, and training atmosphere. This means that every CrossFit you visit will have a different style.

We promise to provide you with an intense, fun, & encouraging environment to bring out the best athlete in you. Our program is built around active group participation while most gyms thrive on selling memberships that will never be used. We’ve been told that the best type of client is the one on a contract who never shows up.

Good news though – we’re cleaning up the fitness industry in this town. We feel that there is a deeper purpose at work here – one other than “just trying to make a buck”. That’s why we don’t force contracts on new members: We passionately believe that if we always strive to improve our facility, our knowledge and our coaching, then the right people will find us and keep coming back for more.

The easiest way for you to find out if CrossFit Coastal is for you is this: call 910-632-4985 and set up a free session. In less than an hour, you’ll have a checkup on your current physical condition, learn a few CrossFit movements, and – best of all – experience an actual workout and our coaching for yourself.

Facts:

• All classes are professionally coached from start to end. There is more to coaching than showing you the workout, timing it, and writing it on the board.
• Our community is amazing.
• We are experienced. We have been affiliated and teaching the CrossFit methods since January 2008.
• Check out our members’ Photos, Videos, & Success Stories.
• Join us on Community Days: bike rides, kayaking, rock climbing, trail running, workshops, seminars, nutrition lectures, WODs at the beach or park, parties, bbqs, etc. Whatever we can come up with, to have even more fun.
• We are not personal trainers. We want you to reach your goals and take fitness into your own hands. They also count on their clients not quite achieving their goals. It’s called job security. If your client never achieves his/her goal, and never really knows what to do in or out of the gym for a workout, he/she will always need you!
• We coach you. Our instruction focuses on virtuosity. The mastery of techniques and skills, physical conditioning, and the development of healthy workouts, eating habits, and self-discipline, so that you have the tools to live a healthy and fit life.
• Fully equipped CrossFit facility. Enough equipment for a large group to perform any CrossFit workout. Drop all the weight you want here – this isn’t your normal gym.

You WILL get results, as long as you commit to our mindset:

1. I will promise to do my best. My best will vary from day to day, from hour to hour, from minute to minute. But in that minute, I will do the very best that I can.

2. If I can run, I run. If I have to walk, I walk. When I am forced to crawl, I crawl. And then I rest and live to fight another day.

3. I fear no man but I fear my workout. If I don’t fear my workout, it isn’t hard enough.

4. I may puke. I may cry. But I will not quit. Ever.

5. I never cheat. There is no honor in cheating. What joy can there be in a victory I did not earn?
