Friction is amazing! The coaches will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals and guide you through the right path. I joined friction a couple of months ago and I feel great. I joined friction not knowing much about CrossFit but the coaches helped me using the right form and techniques to do the workouts properly. I enjoy the part that every time I am done with a workout the next day I’m sore. Coaches check up on you as well to see how are you doing. I have enjoyed my journey with friction.

This is a place of learning. It’s a small gym. There are very few machines. It’s mostly about free-weights and bodyweight abilities, and no worries, that’s a Good thing. Here you learn about functional fitness, as in how to get fitter in terms of functional abilities you can use in life. The coaches are awesome - they help you learn to build your skill moving your body. There are ways you can move that are likely to cause injury, and there are ways you can move that keep you safe and make you stronger. You will work hard here, at your level, whatever that is. Come as you are. All the exercises adjust by skill and ability level, so wherever you are in your journey, you will be able to participate and leave with value.
I’ve been coming to this gym for close to two years now, every single week without exception the average still holds. Every single time without exception I’m learning something new in here. This isn’t just a workout - this is physical education, something that will last you a lifetime.
When I first came to this gym I had daily knee pain, no matter what I did or did not do. It was a fact of life for many years after very heavy physical demands from a past line of work. I am pleased to report that working with a personal trainer here I have been able to make such improvements with my fitness that day to day, my knees don’t bug me anymore, and I have to do something especially exciting to be bothered by knee pain again. Over a decade of appointments with medical professionals wasn’t able to do that for me. Didn’t know it was possible to train your way out of chronic pain!!! Your mileage may vary depending on your situation!
If you’re willing to consistently show up, work hard, and stay humble to keep focused on learning, you can get some really good results here! I can’t emphasize enough the value of the personalized attention from the coaches, whether individually or in group settings. You get much faster results when your training programming adjusts around what you most need to work on at the time. If in doubt, ask a coach and they’ll point you in a good direction.

Absolutely LOVE friction! Was referred by a coworker and decided to try it out after being a gymnast/ cheerleader for the past 15 years of my life. I thoroughly enjoy the workouts presented for me, but what the people are what keep bringing me back. The trainers/ coaches at Friction are extremely knowledgeable and welcoming when it comes to crossfit and exercise physiology . I love that the staff workouts with the classes occasionally, you can tell they really practice what they preach. Thank you Friction for such a fun and positive way to keep me moving!
