Tugce Ertem Eray 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A great place to learn, grow, have fun, and enjoy CrossFit with a supportive and welcoming community of people. The Coaches are top-notch, and they spend time with everyone who attends the class to make sure you are getting the most out of it. One of my favorite things about CFS is its Wellness and Nutrition Coaching. They are very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions regarding nutrition, inflammation, gut health, sleep, and how to manage stress. This has been the best experience I have had in a gym that provides not only physical improvement but also mental well-being! Can’t recommend this place enough!

Crossfit Surmount

Thanks so much Tugce. We both know how hard Coach Jana works with her Wellness & Nutrition clients and the time she devotes. She is gonna blush reading your kind words. thank you for sharing

Aneesh K 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It really works to improve your overall fitness across all activities. I had never done any serious training before I joined CrossFit Surmount, and would run once or twice a week to get some exercise. I switched to doing CrossFit a couple times a week instead, and just ran my fastest 10k despite running less often than I used to.

Crossfit Surmount

I love it Aneesh. Such a cool example of how Crossfit works. You’ve been putting in the work. It’s proof that If you show up consistently it works man. Great job

Shima Ziaei 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at CrossFit Surmount for over a year and started nutrition coaching with Jana a few months ago. The goal was to adopt a healthy lifestyle while balancing my active social life and frequent travel. Thanks to Jana’s guidance, I’ve successfully gained muscle mass and lowered my body fat percentage, all while enjoying life! Highly recommend CrossFit Surmount for both fitness and nutrition coaching!

Crossfit Surmount

YAY Shima!! I have loved watching your evolution with us so it's really cool to hear how it effected you. Aside from the results we are so thankful to have you as part of our community. Your laugh and energy are infectious. Keep being you!

Ashley Petroski 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: So glad I drove by CrossFit Surmount about 16 months ago. Decided to stop in and give it a try. Best decision ever made. Best coaching staff and community support. They also offer nutrition coaching which is phenomenal! I have learned how to fuel before a workout and also how to refuel afterwards. The nutrition coaches make eating healthy fun and easy! And the results are exactly what I was looking for! Thanks CrossFit Surmount for all the support.

Crossfit Surmount

This is so cool to read Ashley... THANK YOU. Most people obviously associate Nutrition Coaching with counting calories and stuff like that but you point out some of the other key pillars that we focus on so THANK YOU again. Coach Jana will be happy to know the impact she has had.

Vinny M 1 year ago

Negative experience: If I could give this no stars I would.I was yelled at by runners that didn’t stop in street. Bald guy thinks and acts like he’s so so tough like I’m afraid off him ha. Place is a joke don’t ever come here.

Crossfit Surmount

Vinny... i hate hearing this man. I wish you would have stopped or reached out that day so we could have worked thru this. I am certain it was just a miscommunication or something but I cant imagine any of our members or coaches being this rude. I am genuinely sorry. Please stop by if you are here often so that I can apologize in person

Jodi Hanes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: THE BEST…CFS is, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE BEST CrossFit facility and family! Take advantage of their trial class; you will fall in love! There are no words to adequately express the impact CFS has had on my life. At 45, I am stronger, down 2 clothing sizes, 40 pounds lighter, and able to start each day with the mental clarity, energy, and motivation necessary to tackle teaching high school students and being a single mom. It is a workout…therapy…family…my safe space…and one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Crossfit Surmount

I'm not crying... you're crying! LOLThanks so much Jodi. This is really sweet of you to share. We absolutely love having you be one of the pillars of this community. So thank you for that. I will make sure your early morning coaches see this and know the impact that they're having in your world!

Ryan Cerrone 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I stopped in from out of town for Memorial Day and their Murph event. Everyone was so welcoming and a great atmosphere to be a part of. Would highly recommend if you need to drop in from out of town!

Crossfit Surmount

Nice man. I love hearing you say this. I am really glad that you felt welcome and enjoyed being part of our day. It was great meeting you. I will be up your way this week and dropping in somewhere. Which gym do you work out at regularly again? Follow us on Instagram and see if you made it into any of the Murph photos LOL

Shayna Rogers 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while vacationing in the area with my husband! We loved the high quality coaching, and the welcoming community. They are running a high quality gym here. You won’t be disappointed!

Crossfit Surmount

Thank you so much Shayna... it was really nice having you guys join us. I will share the positive words with Coach Jana. I hope you come back soon!

Jimmy Johnson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaches, great programming and inclusive community! Highly recommend!

Crossfit Surmount

Thank you Jimmy. We are so glad you feel this way and are enjoying the decision to join and your time with us. Keep showing up man

Meg McMahon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for the 6am class on a Thursday. Had a great experience. The class was large and energized and the people were super friendly and welcoming. The space accommodated the large group nicely. I also loved that there were multiple coaches available to assist where needed. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Crossfit Surmount

Thanks so much Meg. I love that you had such a great experience. The coaches and members work hard to make people feel welcome. I’m glad that you felt it. Hope to see you when you come back soon

Nina Ziemba 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Crossfit Surmount. I have a condition called dysautonomia and wasn't sure Crossfit would be 'for me'. I can honestly say it is for everyone. The coaches are understanding and motivating. There is a scaled (modified) workout for everyone and anyone and they focus on mobility, form, and overall wellness. My health is better today than before I walked through the Crossfit Surmount doors and I can thank the skilled coaches and my welcoming 6:30PM class for that. Drop in if you're in town or sign up for the On-Ramp class if you're new to Crossfit. It'll be the best part of your day :)

Crossfit Surmount

You're the best Nina. We are sad to see you move away. CFS is a better place because you spent time with us. I really appreciate all of your kind & supportive words of the coaches & programming. We really want folks to feel exactly as you've described here and the team puts a lot of effort into it. So THANK YOU!! Stop by again soon

Yonshalae Powell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I dropped in while visiting the family during the holidays. The coaches and staff were extremely friendly. They have created a welcoming community and made it their mission for everyone to introduce themselves to us. The programming was great and I especially enjoyed that the coaches spent a great deal of time making everyone stretch beforehand. The coaches clearly know what they are doing and I can tell they take care of their athletes! We definitely would drop in again next time we are in the area.

Crossfit Surmount

We loved having you Yosh. Can’t wait to drop in at your place sometime

Tayler Easton 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this place. I dropped in while visiting my parents and both the coaches and the owner, Tom, were expecting me and were so welcoming! I have a shoulder injury and hate dropping in and immediately needing a ton of modifications but the Surmount crew was so accommodating. The coaches REALLY coach you and offered great feedback throughout on my technique that I’ve never been corrected on before. So many members introduced themselves and made me feel like part of the crew. It’s truly one of the best drop in experiences I’ve had - can’t wait to go back next time in I’m town!

Crossfit Surmount

Thank you Tayler. This is so great to hear. The coaching staff really work hard at their craft so it’s really great when folks get to see that. As for the friendly members… we just have a ton of high quality people that call this place home. I can’t take any credit for that

Jorge Romero 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have only great things to say about CrossFit Surmount. I joined looking for something more challenging and intense than my current fitness routine, and not only did I find it, but I was also welcomed by a great coaching team and a fantastic community. Crossfit can be intimidating but the coaches go above and beyond to help you improve every day while making you feel comfortable and safe. Since I joined I have noticed my strength and energy go up, and my body fat go down. The workouts are fun and varied and are something I look forward too. I wouldn't think twice about joining CrossFit Surmount.

Crossfit Surmount

Thank you so much for the positive words Jorge. I’m so glad you decided to take the leap 4 months ago. You were a badass to start and it’s been really cool watching you get better. Keep it up buddy!

Joe Medero 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After Covid I had stopped going to the gym and gained weight which was affecting my health. I knew I had to work out but lacked the motivation to do so. Finally in September, 2023 my daughter signed me up for a class at CrossFit Surmount. As many newcomers to Crossfit – I didn’t think I could finish the workout, however, with the different scaling options, the help of the coach and the encouragement of the members I was able to complete the workout. I was exhausted but had a big smile due to the sense of accomplishment, the knowledge of the staff and the family atmosphere provided by the other members. The social, competitive and encouraging atmosphere of CrossFit Surmount has also increased my motivation to improve my nutrition. I joined the nutrition challenge in October and due to the success continue to work with my nutrition coach Jana to keep improving my health and performance. I have gone from over 235lb (30% body fat) when I joined in September to 215lb (17.5% BF) at the end of December. I was kept from joining earlier due to the perceived cost vs other gyms. However, each class is led and attended by well-trained coaches, athletes and very knowledgeable members that will help you improve in each session. Making CrossFit Surmount a great investment for your health.

Crossfit Surmount

How… you’re gonna make us cry man ❤️you are inspiration to so many of us. Watching how consistent you are and how hard you work each day you show up. It’s infectious to be around. Thank YOU!

Megan Fish 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was skeptical about CrossFit when I joined. I’d heard lots of good things but wasn’t sure if I’d fit in. I’ve always struggled knowing what to do when I work out and having a workout of the day really helped me know what’s happening. It’s a huge relief knowing I can also scale as I need to for my fitness level. I’ve never felt more welcome at a gym or box as I do at this one. No matter when I workout each class has great people and amazing coaches who are always ready to help and work with you to make sure you’re confident in your journey. I’ve been here 3 months and I truly enjoy working out now and I enjoy the people and the community CrossFit surmount encourages, everyone is welcome here and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Crossfit Surmount

We are sooooo glad you took the leap and joined. Your fun , awesome attitude has been amazing from your first On-Ramp Sessions. We love having you here and your progress has been amazing. I can't wait to see what you can accomplish

Hope Troiano 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Since joining CFS i have become mentally and physically stronger . Having people around that push me to my limits is what makes me a better athlete overall The community is probably the biggest part for me. Its what makes me excited to go to the gym at 7 am, knowing i will see all my friends and have a good time

Crossfit Surmount

It's been so great having you join and become part of our community. You've fit right in from the beginning and we are so thankful. Keep up the hard work. You're motivating all those friends around you!

Crossfit Surmount

It was really great having you Macy. We were in awe watching those first MU happen

Troy Cole 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Welcomed with smiling faces, community feel, and clean facilities. The coaches were both encouraging you to work hard, while maintaining safety and clear direction amongst the class. I loved how easy it was to scale the workout to exactly what I needed today

Crossfit Surmount

Thanks so much Troy. It was great meeting you. And so glad you had a positive experience

Kylie Fuetsch 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing coach, community and location! I’m visiting from the Bay Area and dropped into the gym a few times. The coach (Donna?) was welcoming, provided a tour, encouraging during the WOD, giving specific technique queues that were helpful and shared positive feedback after the WOD. I had a great time! I would Totally recommend visiting in if you’re in the area.

Crossfit Surmount

Kylie... thank you so much. You should see the smile on my face after seeing that you posted this. I will definitely make sure Coach Jana sees this. She really wants to make sure everyone feels welcomed and gets the individual coaching they deserve. All of our coaches do! It's something we focus on specifically during our Coach Development sessions so THANK YOU for noticing and for sharing the kind words. Let us know when you're coming back!

Erin B 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dropped in with my husband over Thanksgiving weekend. Two classes with awesome members and coaching. So glad to have made the choice to spend time at CF Surmount and the community there, led by owner Tom. Felt like a home away from home.

Crossfit Surmount

It was great having you guys. You absolutely crushed the workouts and fit right in. We had a great time with you. Thanks for sharing the kind words. We work hard to have people feel the way you described so it’s nice to hear when it lands

Rich DeCristo 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have to admit I did not see myself ever joining a crossfit gym, but I didn't feel I was getting the workout I needed at my old gym. I decided to give Crossfit Surmount a try after a long conversation with a friend who is one of the coaches. The first thing I noticed is how attentive the coaches are. They pay attention to your every movement to make sure you are doing things correctly. They push you when you need pushing and tell you to lighten up if that is what is needed. The coaches are by far the biggest selling point for me. They are all amazing. I am 5 months in now and have never felt this good and this strong since I played Rugby. Very welcoming atmosphere from both coaches as well as members. My only disappointment is that I wish I had found this years ago.

Crossfit Surmount

Dude …. You’re gonna make me cry! . We love hearing things like this Rich. I’m definitely gonna let your early am coaches know how you feel. They work hard at being great so it’s nice when it’s received. Thank YOU for being such an ideal member

Manuel Alex 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been at it since January and it is an amazing experience, such a fun group of exciting and amazing people from the owner, to the coaches and members. The CF community is awesome along with getting in a hard hitting workout. This experience is unlike any other, along with all ages are welcome!

Cory Gray 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Today is one year I have been a member here. I have been doing Crossfit for almost 10 years and wish I joined when I moved here 4 years ago. Usually you get some but not all of these things at a single Crossfit gym.... A bunch of class times and open gym, great coaches, great unbiased programming, great facility, great equipment, and genuinely friendly and diverse members. I am sure I am missing some things on the list, but I guarantee whatever you are looking for is here. I look forward to starting my day here and would recommend any one with any fitness goal to join.

Crossfit Surmount

Man… Cory… thank you! We are so happy you feel this way. And we wish you would’ve joined sooner also!!

Karrie Beeman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: All the coaches are so nice and welcoming. But the best part is their knowledge base, how to lift properly, they will politely correct your form if it falters. They have a great rotation of workouts so you truly get a full body workout. They have created a great atmosphere to work hard, have fun and get strong

Fantastic experience: Awesome crossfit gym. Tom is a fantastic owner and coach. We did a drop in, since we are from out of town….but wonderful community, clean gym, plenty of quality equipment, and great coaching. If you are local or just passing through, I highly recommend CF Surmount. I have had the pleasure of going to gyms all over North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. This is one of my favorites. Will definitely come back.

Crossfit Surmount

JT… I’m so glad this is how you feel. Such kind words. THANK YOU. We loved having you guys and can’t wait till you make it back thru again

Warren Gaspar 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I coach the local middle school varsity baseball team and before the season started in the spring of 2021 our team worked out at CF Surmount for about 2 1/2 months. To say the team enjoyed it and got stronger is an understatement. There were kids who never worked out in their life and by the time we finished asked if they could join CF as a member. Coach Marni, Nick and Tom were amazing! They were very patient and very motivating because getting 15 young men's attention while holding it for 1 hour is sometimes challenging. Highly recommend anyone of any age, physical ability to come check out CF Surmount!

Crossfit Surmount

Thanks Warren... hearing you say that means a lot. We thoroughly enjoyed watching these boys progress... and it was a lot of fun! I hope we get to work with them again

joseph bennett 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Visiting from out of town, and had the pleasure of working out here for about a month. I can’t say enough great things about CrossFit Surmount. Programming is well balanced and very challenging, coaches are knowledgeable, and the gym members are incredible welcoming. The equipment is in great shape and more was being added while I was there. This gym is great for beginners all the way to athletes looking to compete!!

Crossfit Surmount

Thanks for the kind words Joe. You were an equally awesome guest. I speak for everyone when I say that we loved having you around and were sad to see you go. Wanna come back and do Murph with us?
