Summit Crossfit

Fantastic experience: Great place, super friendly coach. Lots of room and equipment! Perfect spot to drop in when you’re in town.

Fantastic experience: One day at a time I’m reaching my peak at The Summit! Kelly is an awesome coach, facility is fresh & clean and the fellow CrossFit team members are super helpful & powerful! Truly grateful to have found this place!

Fantastic experience: Visited Asheville for the weekend with Crossfit friends from Raleigh and we couldn't go a whole weekend without Crossfit! So glad that we decided to join for the Saturday morning class at Summit. Had a wonderful time at Summit!! Awesome and welcoming community. A great, knowledgeable, and high energy coach too. The gym is outfitted very nicely and has a ton of space as well! Next time I'm in Asheville I will definitely be stopping in again to get a great CrossFit experience!

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit Gym in western Carolina! Been hitting the regular gym for years and 1 months of CrossFit gave me more than just weightlifting. Thank You so much, Summit!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding facility and staff. Being new to crossfit, i have not only felt welcome but also personally coached on my progression. So glad I found Summit.

Fantastic experience: I was in town and looking for a Crossfit. There were a few options in the area but decided to check out Summit. I was a bit weary because of the size of this locaiton but I'm happy I decided to go with Summit. Everyone was very welcoming and supportive. Kelly was a great coach; high energy and made sure form was correct. I had an injury that I have been dealing with and Kelly offered multiple options to modify the workout to accomodate me I'd definitely go back if I'm every back in the area.

Fantastic experience: A long, long time ago I identified myself as an athlete. I came to Summit with the hopes of reclaiming that for myself. I joined this gym after a long stint of being more sedentary. I also joined with practically zero knowledge of lifting weights. Donivan, part owner, has been such an incredible support and coach. I have mostly been to his classes so far. He really takes his time to adjust the workouts and ensure proper form and movement. His is knowledgeable, kind, and enthusiastic. His classes have been so welcoming and motivating. I can also say Brooke was incredibly supportive as well! I leave each time a little closer to the athlete I once was. I was so nervous to join but I’m so glad I did.

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member on and off since August of 2021 and though the size of the gym appears intimidating, it is the farthest thing from! The owners Leslie and Donivan are lovely people, as are all the other coaches. As a young person with a couple of mobility obstacles, I appreciate the care the coaches put into watching each member and giving specific feedback to help improve form and effectiveness if the exercise. This is also one of the most form forward gyms I've ever been to which is so refreshing-though at first I was frustrated not being able to put on weight I knew I was strong enough for, I really appreciated the time I had to take to be able to know what the correct form feels like and what muscles should be engaged, which is something I still have yet to experience at any other crossfit gym. The gym is also kept very VERY clean and remjnders for good gym etiquette and hygiene are given every single class. Would very much recommend

Fantastic experience: Summit is the CrossFit gym in Asheville to get and stay healthy & moving at. I lightly followed and checked out their programming for about 6+ months before joining. I appreciated the scaling variations added in the programming. It allows each person to honor their goals and body while working hard where they are which is important. Every single coach is personable and great at what they do. The community is lively, friendly and fun! Come check it out!

Fantastic experience: I moved to Asheville 2 months ago not knowing anyone and joining Summit has been one of the best decisions! From the first class I felt like I was a part of their culture and community. Highly recommend dropping in or joining!

Fantastic experience: Great facility, tons off room and more equipment than time allows to use. Coaches are super friendly and helpful, members are friendly and a mix of skill level. A very welcoming atmosphere and great place to train!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed dropping in during our trip to Asheville. The coach and community were welcoming and we got a great workout. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: I have always had a great experience exercising at Summit! The trainers are very attentive to proper technique, there are modifications available for all fitness levels, and the atmosphere is upbeat, supportive, and motivating.

Fantastic experience: As I was getting started, the instructors gave me personalized tips on how to adjust my exercise routine to my current level of ability, and they frequently checked my form and posture. The workouts are varied and it's clear the team puts a lot of effort into making sure the classes are fun and new. Apart from the core classes, there are also a range of experiences, activities, and challenges that the community can take part in. If you're in search of a CrossFit gym in Asheville, you don't need to look any further!

Fantastic experience: My friends and I spontaneously stopped by while we were away for the weekend. The trainers were very kind and supportive, and the workout was both enjoyable and difficult. They made us feel so welcome that we will definitely return!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym! The staff is incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is great, and it's spotless and well-organized. I'm so glad to be part of the team here; everyone is so kind and welcoming. Leslie, Donovan, Julie, Darrell, and Kelly (with more trainers I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet) are all amazing! They're so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and they really motivate you. This gym is perfect for both beginners and experts. It's huge and has great equipment, a bathroom/changing area, and even a shower. There's also space to store your belongings. Plus, there's an area with weights for members to use. I highly recommend this place - it's a 10/10! ⭐️

Fantastic experience: I have encountered a number of coaches who have been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I was a member of CrossFit back in 2007-2009, when I was much younger and stronger. Since then, I have gone through a lot of medical issues and I never thought I would be able to participate in CrossFit again. I started with a trial month, and I haven't even been able to finish a full workout yet, but the CrossFit team has been so encouraging that I am continuing with my program. I am very grateful for their support.

Fantastic experience: Coaches welcomed us by name for a drop-in and were very friendly and professional! Comfortable environment with good class structure and organization. All equipment was in great shape, clean and in place for class to begin. Definitely recommend Summit and I know we will be back when we are in the area. Thank you Darryl

Fantastic experience: Summit is great! They offer reasonably COVID safe classes and great modifications. I started at Summit with a hip injury that eventually led to surgery. The coaches kept me moving and in the best shape possible--within my limits. I look forward to returning post-surgery, and I credit my smooth recovery with the coaching and training at Summit.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Summit CF for over 5 years and under the ownership of Coach Donivan and Coach Leslie I have seen the gym flourish. The atmosphere and community is inspiring with friendships made that have extended outside of working out together. The level of care, cleanliness, and professionalism put into this CF gym is incredible. If you are looking for a place to call home and meet some amazing (and fit) friends look no further!!

Fantastic experience: I rolled into Asheville, relocating temporarily, looking for a new box to call home. There are at least 7 CrossFit gyms in this town. I emailed and stopped into many of them. Summit was very responsive to email, super clear with their instructions and they welcomed me with a big smile. The facility is spacious and they follow COVID protocols seriously. The coaching is excellent and the atmosphere is really convivial. I get to push my limits with not only WODs that pair weightlifting and a met-cons, but there is also daily accessory work to build supporting muscle groups. This is the best programming I have experienced, yet! I am looking forward to reaping those benefits!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit since 2015 until lockdown started March 2020. I did what I could at home during lockdown but nowhere near anything at the CF level. I felt comfortable getting back into a gym after getting the vaccine and Summit has been absolutely phenomenal in helping me get back into it. The coaches work with me everyday I go in with modifications and suggestions for movements to keep injury risk to a zero until my body gets used to CF again. I cannot sing any higher praises for this gym- they are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, careful, methodical- and the community is equally as amazing. I highly recommend Summit for anyone getting back into CF after a long break, doing it for the first time, or dropping in from out of town.

Fantastic experience: Summit CrossFit breaks the mold for all of my assumptions about this workout style. We hear stories about CrossFit, intense coaches pushing hardcore members to the point of injury. My experience with Summit is the exact opposite. The coaches are amazing, and they spend extra time with new members to train them on proper technique to avoid injury and get the most out of the work out. They also make sure the workouts are scaled down to the level of the individual when needed. And I need that. The members are very supportive and welcoming, and there is a strong sense of community at this gym. Add to that, I can literally see and feel my improvements in fitness as the weeks click by! If you’ve ever wondered if CrossFit is right for you, I encourage you to try them out. They will do a no obligation intro class, and then present multiple membership options if you wish to continue the journey. I am so grateful that I stopped assuming and tried it out for myself. Thanks Summit...5 Stars!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality We had a great drop-in experience at Summit CrossFit. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and the workout, coaching, and equipment were top-notch. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality If you are looking to get back into your fitness routine or even try something new this is the gym for you! The owners are very professional and kind. Each Coach makes sure you understand the movements and workouts. I have been into fitness for a long time and this was definitely the kick we needed to start back. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This place is wonderful. All of the trainers are very knowledgeable and helpful. They take care to ensure that you are performing the exercise movements correctly. They encourage and motivate you. I was a little intimidated at the beginning but Leslie and Donivan were really helpful to ease my trepidation since I had never done CrossFit before. The gym is always spotless. This is NOT an in-your-face boot-camp style gym. It’s positive, exciting, educational, and an incredible workout. I’m seeing amazing results both physically and mentally in a few short months. If you’re looking for a great gym, stop your search and check out Summit.

Fantastic experience: Summit is an incredible community. I’m so glad I found it. The owners are thoughtful, solid humans, that demonstrate their passion for fitness and healthy living. All the coaches are excellent. The vibe is welcoming and accommodating. I was looking for a fitness system that challenged me yet accepted my limitations (bad knees, not up for super heavy lifting) and I’ve found that at Summit. Regardless of your fitness level they will welcome you, meet you where you’re at, and make you feel completely comfortable. It’s much more than a CrossFit gym, it’s a community.

Fantastic experience: I always hated gyms and never knew how to properly use equipment or do movements without the fear of hurting myself. At Summit the coaching is top notch and the environment is always inviting! I always enjoy each time I get to hit the gym and get a great workout in! If it weren’t for Summit, the coaches there and the owners, I still would not be at a gym.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Hands down best gym experience in Asheville. I’ve done CrossFit on and off since 2009 and summit is one of a kind. Lots of good people and always great workouts.

Fantastic experience: From the moment you step in the door for your one-on-one intro class, you're welcomed. There are no egos here, just a genuine feeling of support from coaches and a community that want to see you succeed. It's a positive feeling in all the right ways. You compete with yourself but no one's left behind. Summit uses TRIIB, which gives you access to a mobile app that helps track your own progress as well as reserve spots in your classes, see workouts and fellow attendees, and manage your membership. It's a really nice platform. Classes are held 7 days per week, with more interactive classes held on the weekend. However this has been adjusted a bit because of covid. The gym is open now and feature socially-distanced spots with disinfectant. Masks are required but you can get some air if it becomes a problem during strenuous exercise. Finally, this is my first crossfit 'experience' so I can't tell you how it compares to others. However, I CAN tell you that having coaches to help you dial in weights is better than any spotter or self-instruction and they help push you the whole time. The best thing I've ever tried. I see why people come and stay. I only wish I'd tried it sooner. If you show up and put in the work, they take care of the rest. It's fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for hosting the Beer City Beatdown CrossFit competition that also benefited the Buncombe Co. Special Olympics!! You're facility is huge!! The event was epic! My daughter gave it her all during the Special Olympic 10 min debut. She eats, breathes and sleeps CrossFit! You are a true asset to our community for promoting health

Fantastic experience: After experiencing a less than stellar experience at a gym here in Asheville, my partner Lyssa and I were STOKED to have found Summit Crossfit. Leslie, the Owner and Head Coach, is AMAZING! We were welcomed with enthusiasm, gratitude, and excitement. After entering the building, we were quickly introduced to the WOD and shown to our box. The equipment & space is immaculate. As avid crossfitters, my girlfriend and I have pretty high standards - and Summit delivered! We will without a doubt be back to this remarkable gym. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: An update a year later. Loving this place. My coaches rock and I've made a lot of friends with my fellow members. I've lost a good bit of weight and added some muscle along the way. Really enjoying my experience here and still would recommend. I was looking for a gym to join and a coworker who is heavily into fitness recommended Summit. The staff and members are really friendly and the coaches are very supportive. As a new member my coach (huge shoutout to Leslie) works with me to make sure my form is on. For exercises that are out of my skill range she'll offer alternatives that give me a good workout. The facility itself is very clean and airy.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly welcoming, encouraging, organized, accommodating and professional are a few of the ways I can describe the crew at Summit. I came in with no strength or fitness training experience and have felt a level of support that's convinced me to stay. Even more, the quality of members that Summit Crossfit attracts brings with it a thick sense of community and support that I hoped to find. If these are things that are important to you, Summit Crossfit should be your next call. I have no regrets, and I fully expect to see the benefits play out as I progress. Thanks to Donivan, Leslie and the rest of the Coaches for making it real.

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate the education and time Summit Crossfit takes with every member especially someone like me who is new. Everyone is attentive and present. The trainers take their time from the first time meeting you to introducing themselves to going over each movement with you one on one. It’s a welcoming environment that I look forward to going to. Both owners and the trainers have a lot of knowledge to share and will go at your pace all the while pushing you to do your best. I would highly recommend to anyone who is considering taking that self care plunge Summit Crossfit is a great place to start! -Kat

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Summit is absolutely fantastic. Great instructors, awesome workout environment and a lot of very nice people. This is our home away from home CrossFit gym when we are in North Carolina. 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The folks @ Summit CrossFit are top notch. Positive, energetic and focused people. Attentive to everyone there. They make you feel welcome. I look forward to each class and they “fine tune” each class to work for me. I really enjoy being there. If your thinking CrossFit I recommend them highly.

Fantastic experience: I love having the opportunity to drop into Summit CrossFit!! Every time I come to visit family in Asheville, I make sure to spend some time with the fantastic people at Summit CrossFit! The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. They pay attention to detail in movement mechanics and safety. The community is so warm and welcoming. I have been to many boxes around the world, and visiting Summit CrossFit is always one of my favorites. You will not regret spending time with these awesome people!

Fantastic experience: Summit is an amazing, welcoming place! I have gone to a number of locations to do CrossFit and Summit consistently comes out as one of the best with programming that is thoughtful and challenging. The coaches have made me feel comfortable from the start and are amazing at giving accurate feedback so I can improve my lifts. The community is fun and vibrant. I look forward to the days I get to drop in Summit for a workout because I always know I’ll leave feeling great. If you’re new to CrossFit or hesitant to try it I really recommend this gym because the coaches are clearly well-informed and will guide you safely to learn the movements. I’ve been to gyms with hands-off coaches and never returned. You won’t have that experience at Summit!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I moved to Asheville and decided to give CrossFit a try to get healthy and meet people. Summit CF has been so great us!! All the coaches are amazing and truly take the time to teach you the proper technique and always offer scaling options. I can confidently say we have gotten stronger, healthier, and more fit and have done so having fun!! Would definitely recommend to anyone moving to the area!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Summit Crossfit is excellent! The coaches really know what they're doing and are able to give corrections even in a big class. Classes start on time, with no dillydallying around. The facility is huge and has great equipment. The owners are awesome at COVID protocol and just overall professional. I highly recommend Summit!

Fantastic experience: Summit is doing everything right--knowledgeable coaches who give quality instruction and form cues, a variety of equipment suitable for every fitness level, and a personality that makes you feel welcome from the minute you walk through the door. Even in this strange time with new regulations and adaptations that ensure safety, they are following the strictest protocols without losing the heart of the workouts and their encouraging group atmosphere. It must be a delicate balancing act, but they are making it look easy while making every class attendee fee so, so safe. I'd recommend Summit without hesitation--no matter your fitness level or background. This is Crossfit done right, with proper instruction, and free of intimidation.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in to Summit CF while visiting a friend and was very impressed! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable as well as the gym members. The facility is fantastic, very spacious, and great equipment. Very welcoming and felt right at home, if you're visiting Asheville, definitely come check this place out, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Before I found Summit, I hated going to the gym. Not only was it physically difficult for me but I never felt like I belonged. It made becoming a fitter me something that seemed almost an insurmountable feat. I quit on myself all the time.... the problem was I needed to find something more than a gym. That’s what I found in my family at Summit CrossFit. I discovered an amazing community of people who have embraced me in every stage of my journey. Everyone has a place of belonging inside this box. Workouts are tailored to suit every ability level while still pushing you to become a better version of yourself. I encourage you to come by and see this place for yourself. There are so many time slots for CrossFit class and a barbell club that meets 3 times a week. Or come in for open gym.... there is equipment and space to find your own groove if a class setting isn’t for you. And if you see me, come over and say hi. I love this place and would be delighted to personally welcome you into the fold.... no matter if you are a new member or just dropping in. I would not be the person I am today without Summit and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has the same effect on you.

Fantastic experience: Summit Crossfit has been a great fit with my recent move to the area. The coaches are all very kind and helpful and the community has been very welcoming. I really like the high number or daily coached session as well as open gym hours. The gym is spacious with lots of equipment that is well maintained.

Fantastic experience: After a lifetime of on again / off again gym habits, mainly in the realm of weight training, this is my first experience with Crossfit. My take on Summit is that it’s everything and more than I expected. The owners and coaching staff and other members are fantastic. The regimented orientation period is thorough and well designed to get you started with the fundamentals. This type of gym experience I believe is highly more sustainable, especially at my age, for continuing on with fitness progress without detriment to joints like I experienced before with weight training, yet I can tell after each workout I’m definitely getting the benefits not only in strength training but also balance, mobility, flexibility.. The whole enchilada. Summit I suspect is the premier Crossfit gym (called a “box”) in this area, because of the people. Awesome folks. The facilities is clean, well managed and maintained. They change lives here at Summit, one WOD at a time.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Summit! I joined a couple of years ago, and was initially intimidated by the thought of Crossfit. However, the coaches are phenomenal and do such a great job providing feedback and encouragement. I sincerely look forward to going everyday because the workouts are always different and challenging. I love the enthusiastic and positive atmosphere at Summit, and I've met so many great friends that I look forward to seeing each morning. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: After starting and stopping many Gym memberships in my life I joined Summit and have been there ever since. Over 4 years now. The quality instruction and personal attention you receive are worth every penny. The owners and coaches are top notch and just all around great people. Their selfless commitment to the amazing and welcoming community at Summit is amazing. If you are searching for a great gym, with great people, great coaches and someplace you can call home for many workouts to come, do yourself a favor and check out Summit! You wont be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Summit has completely changed my life. It was my first Crossfit box and they were so helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. They have great equipment and are always about safety first and meeting people where they are. Their programming makes sense and the owners are involved and genuinely interested in the community they serve. My family just moved to Denver for work purposes and have yet to find a box even somewhat comparable to Summit. I couldn't recommend a better place.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic box! I recently moved to Asheville from out of state, and I was super happy to find Summit Crossfit! The staff is very welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and always helpful. They genuinely care about helping you get fit and stay healthy. The community of athletes is awesome as well! Everyone is kind and enjoyable to be around. Plus, it’s fun! We have an absolute blast together as we encourage one another toward fitness. I love it at Summit!
