    I'm pretty depressed because I don't have a box close by. I was at Crossfit Middle Tennessee for a while before the drive became too much. Was thinking about trying Crossfit Music City as they have a 7:00pm slot that may work.

    So, just trying to WOD at home as much as possible. I really miss the community aspect.

    Currently going to Crossfit Thunder in Huntington, WV.

    Hopefully moving to Ann Arbor MI in the next month... anyone know anything about the boxes up there?? nervous to start over :(
  • Steamboat CrossFit at Fusion Fit :) I LOVE them!! Also, I love CrossFit Epic in Iowa City, IA!
  • I go to Crossfit Newton in MA (outside of Boston). I started at Crossfit Hi-Def Southern CA (LOVE them) and have tried cf Arise in Northern CA. I like all three. The social aspect is a little sad here on the East Coast from what I can tell. They are nice enough, but typically standoff-ish. I do like to go and try different places.
  • Do it, I think most places are happy to have you if you know what you're doing and don't need babysitting. I send an email and they usually say come on by. Maybe try for one of the less busy times the first time you go in.

    Hey there Sbiscotti! How cool you are there! Small world. I got hooked on Crossfit in Cleveland at Crossfit Cleveland, was all set to try out Coca Crossfit, then we moved. I would LOVE to try out your gym. I am interested in Stacy's class. I really love the Oly lifts!

    I do have a Living Social Groupon thing for your box. I should just go already. Maybe tomorrow night at 7:00. I really wish I could make it out at 6:00am but we are too far.

    I'll plan on seeing you there tomorrow night! Stacey's the best. He's helped my lifts so much, and he's the coach of the competition team. His O-lift classes were actually why I picked CFMC over the other boxes in Nashville.

    Hey sbiscotti---I went once, right when I replied here I was going to go. Stacey was awesome and I felt like I learned a ton just from that one session. We worked on the snatch, back squat and split jerk. It breaks my heart that I don't have the cf community of a box, but with my kids and schedule I can't get out there regularly enough to make it worth the money. I HATE the 45 minute drive and it really stresses me out. So, we've worked pretty hard to try and turn our garage into a functioning gym. My husband and I WOD together and I work out with a trainer in town too. That's the best I got these days. You guys here and others through the internet will be my community I suppose! :)

    So if I am reading this correctly, do you have a dedicated Oly coach at your facility? I wod at CF SolaFide in Clarksville but I am looking for some instruction on Oly lifts...can I get some more info from you?

    Yup, he's a dedicated Olympic lifting coach. Stacey Greenway is his name. Not my box, but thought I could reply.

    Crossfit Impulse (Madison/Huntsville, AL)

    Somehow I missed this - I'm friends with Emily Leighton and Kristen Johnson over there. Have dropped by Kevin Lowe's gym for CF Impulse v. ADD Fit throwdowns when I'm driving between CF Tuscaloosa and CF Music City.

    Say hey to them for me.

    Yup! Stacey's been my coach since December. Love him! He's improved my snatch so much and a lot of my other lifts. He coaches specifically the Oly class MWF and is in charge of our Competition group and the On Ramp Beginners program.
