Beer City CrossFit

Fantastic experience: I've been powerlifting for about a year but was new to CrossFit when I joined Beer City. And somehow the coaches and workouts manage to address both these things: there are parts that are challenging enough so that I feel like my lifts/forms are getting better and are also adjusted for things I don't know how to do yet. The classes are a mix of veterans, people new to CrossFit, and people new to exercise period and I'm impressed with how much the coaches are able to tailor things to each person and provide individual guidance. What's more, all these different abilities mesh together well: everyone is encouraging and encouraged. I was new to Asheville and was honestly just looking for a social community and have found a group of supportive people in and outside of workouts. Can't recommend this place enough. (And if that isn't enough, I hinted that I was into benching and doing my own workouts and the next month they had purchased a bench and set up open gym hours...)

Fantastic experience: So I'm new to crossfit and was a little intimidated by the idea of starting such a tough work out regimen but the coaches at BCCF are amazing! They are very knowledgeable and know how to scale the movements down for the newbies. They recognize your strengths and weaknesses so they know when to push you and when to watch you to ensure you execute good form. One of my biggest fears was potentially hurting myself but there is a fundamentals course that teaches the basics in movements and execution. The WODs (Workout of the day) are high intensity and really provide a great work out in under an hour! I will say joining this gym has been the most consistent working out that I have done and the mentality shift to push myself harder flows over into all aspects of my life. Definitely check out this box if you're new, somewhere-in-between, or advanced in CF!

Fantastic experience: So many good things to say about this place! The coaches are by far the best around. They are all very knowledgable and they genuinely care about you. Hands down best coaching I've ever had! They cater to all levels from very beginner to the advanced competitor. Great space with laid back feel.

Fantastic experience: Great community that welcomed me as a drop in. Have been trying to get back there ever since!

Fantastic experience: This gym is great. From the coaches to the community, everyone will welcome you and push you (in the nicest way) to be your best or better!! Come give Beer City CrossFit a try and see for yourself!!

Fantastic experience: It's amazing I've been going there for almost 5 months the trainers are amazing and helpful!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym for everyone from the first-time gym novice to the serious athlete. The coaches are knowledgeable, thorough, and conscientious about adapting each day's workout to the individual ability level of the participant. The community is warm and welcoming to all. Childcare is available during some workouts, and a trampoline is available on sunny days for the kids and the young at heart. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their fitness, make new friends, and/or simply have a great time working out with good people.

Fantastic experience: Went for a free drop in while I'm having a lapse in membership to my usual crossfit gym and everybody was awesome! As somebody who is young and appears able-bodied, I always am worried about judgement with how severely I have to scale exercises to being them down to a level that's attainable for me, but I was only met with support and suggestions of ways to make the scaled movements more effective. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: My wife & I are gym owners in Michigan & we have plenty of good things to say about Beer City CF & its coaching staff. Coach Alex did a great job demoing the movements of the workouts, gaining the attention of those in attendance & organizing the class so everyone could be successful. He was energetic, enthusiastic but also knowledgable. He clearly cares about his craft as a coach but more about those he serves. As an experienced coach I would recommend a new or experienced athlete to attend here. Keep it up Beer City CrossFit!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend that anyone who has been considering trying Crossfit should take the plunge and visit Beer City. The staff there have been incredibly supportive and understanding, so you can rest assured that they will make the transition as smooth and effortless as possible!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Alex and the Beer City team welcomed us and another group of drop ins as if we were all members. Great atmosphere! We will be back the next time we are in Asheville, NC.

Fantastic experience: I come from, and coach at, a CrossFit gym where our fitness-related focus for members (and drops-ins) is meeting each individual where they are at and getting them 1% better every day. More importantly, our community prides itself on being an open, welcoming, and safe space for all. My wife and I dropped in at Beer City CrossFit while on vacation and Coach Alex and the crew we had the pleasure of working out with made us feel right at home! I can’t say enough about the positive drop-in experience we had. The programming was solid, the modifications met all levels of athletes, and the overall experience was top notch. We will absolutely be returning should we find ourselves vacationing in Asheville again in the future. Thanks, Beer City CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: I attended Beer City Crossfit as a drop-in from out of town and have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience here! Everyone was SO welcoming. The coaching was so helpful and specific to what I needed to work on. Both the space and the equipment were very well maintained. I cannot wait to drop-in again on my next trip to Asheville!

Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic exercise session when we visited during our holiday.

Fantastic experience: Miranda guided us through a wonderful, invigorating workout that was ideal for after a journey. Afterwards, we did some snatch and squatting exercises on the platforms. The facility was superb and the people were so friendly. We had a wonderful time!

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed my visit! Everyone was so hospitable and I got a strong sense of camaraderie from the gym. It appears to be a very inviting atmosphere for all.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited on holiday and had a fantastic exercise session, some cool merchandise, and met a fantastic group of people. I would definitely come back again.

Fantastic experience: Great box. Dropped in to complete my 20.5 open workout, Coach Abby did a great job helping coach me up on ring muscle-ups and scoring. Community was very positive as well.

Fantastic experience: Best crossfit gym in Asheville, no question about it. Owners are some of the coolest and hard working people I’ve ever met. The sense of community at this gym is fantastic and was one of the many reasons my wife and I decided to join.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to start Crossfit at Beer City Crossfit and I am SO glad that I did. Everyone there is so welcoming no matter what level you are, and coaches and athletes alike are always looking to build each other up and help each other out. After checking out a few different box's around town, the second I walked into Beer City I knew I belonged there! I am so thankful for my experience there and all the wonderful people I have met.

Fantastic experience: From day 1 you are made to feel like family and immediately welcomed into the box. The coaches are knowledgeable, helpful and provide correction and feedback with genuine care... you're certainly not made to feel uncomfortable with the feedback. The WODs are on-point. Of course you can scale (which I have to do) but even then, they are demanding and challenging and though I may have very mean things to say while completing the WOD, it's always a very satisfying accomplishment when it's over. It's a family and I hope I do the family right and welcome you into the box just as I was when you arrive.

Fantastic experience: Beer City is a great gym! All of the instructors are so friendly and willing to work with whatever limitations you have. At the same time they also push you past the limitations you have in your mind! If you think you can’t do something, they’re there to challenge you with “just try it”. Absolutely love how encouraging they are. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Beer City Crossfit is everything I want in a gym. The coaching staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Members are friendly and welcoming. The programming is always challenging, in a good way. The box itself if perfect - homey, clean and stocked with all the necessary equipment. Beer City keeps me healthy and on my toes, and I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Great community of people, and the owners make you feel so welcomed! The workouts change and are always a great challenge - love that you can modify everything. Trainers are helpful, knowledgeable, and fun! Highly recommend Beer City, especially if someone wants a smaller, close-knit workout community! Abby & Jeremy do a great job!

Fantastic experience: 6/5 stars. Can't recommend this gym highly enough. Abby and Jeremy are amazing and the rest of the community is wonderful. I came in as a first-timer and, almost without exception, the programming and coaching have been on point. Hard to imagine a better place to work out :)

Fantastic experience: Dropped into BCCF while on a long weekend in Asheville and got a great workout! The members and coaching staff were very friendly. The coach for the class I attended was also a physical therapist and was very knowledgeable and accommodating for my pre-existing hip injury. He helped me modify the workout to avoid pain and further injury. Will definitely stop in again the next time I’m in town! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym overall! Great coaches, incredible programming, and an amazing community! Great place for any athlete, from beginners to advanced. I have been doing CrossFit for over five years and have never experienced a gym like this.

Fantastic experience: As a “newbie” to Crossfit I came to BCCF from another local box and fresh off shoulder surgery. As a military veteran and avid runner/obstacle course racing junkie I wanted a fresh start after my injury. My first WOD was literally one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever had! The programming, the coaches and all the athletes are amazing. The environment that has been created by Jeremy and Abby is one of encouragement and support. The programming is not only challenging but is designed for all skill levels including beginners. I’m in my late 40’s and in the beat shape of my life! I can’t imagine the I’d be where I’m at physically and mentally without my BCCF family. Absolutely the best owners, coaches and people I’ve ever been around!

Fantastic experience: Retiring and moving was tough, leaving a great gym (CrossFit Rivalry) where I first started CrossFit was tough. However after visiting new gyms in my new area, BeerCity Crossfit felt like home as soon as I walked in their door. Great coaches in every session plus an in house Doctor made my transition easy. The ownership and programming are very challenging but always willing to work with each athlete to personalize or scale to their level. Plus they have an awesome logo with cool gear!

Fantastic experience: Beer City has the perfect coaches/owners to start Crossfit later in life! This great community is motivating us to stay fit for life! Best gym ever!

Fantastic experience: I was new to crossfit and these guys accepted me with open arms and have taught me so much. Awesome, friendly, family atmosphere, but will still kick your butt at the same time! I have never left here feeling like I didn't have fun and get a great workout.

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym in town! When I moved to Asheville a little bit over an year ago I basically tried every CF gyms in town. Beer City CrossFit was definitely my favorite one and for many reasons. From the moment you first walk in the door and all the times after, you are greeted warmly and enthusiastically by both the team and its members. Coaches are top notch and the training is the best program you can find to improve in strength, technique, movement patterns, mobility and core. They alternate training blocks to better focus on everything, from olympic weightlifting to gymnastic. They have kickass workouts every day!! Last but not least, this gym puts a huge focus on not only quality and purposeful workouts, but also community and camaraderie. Beer City Crossfit is beautiful a family.

Fantastic experience: Beer City Cross Fit has been amazing! This is exactly what I needed during sure a difficult time in my life. My fiance has been deployed for the last 8 months, and it is the only thing keeping me sane. I am glad to be a part of such an amazing community.

Fantastic experience: I was thinking about trying CrossFit for quite some time, after some research I decided to try Beer city CrossFit. When I first walked into the gym, I felt little intimidated It was something new for me....Abby and all of the coaches have been there for me since the beginning to help me achieve my goals. I love the fact that everyone is very friendly, the environment is great. I just love Beer City CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: I prioritize my Beer City CrossFit membership over my car payment, that’s how much it’s improved my life since I’ve started. The community is great. I was actually skeptical based on how nice everyone was until I realized that BCCF is just one of those rare communities made up of genuinely good authentic people. As for the programming itself, one of the co-owners is uniquely qualified through his experience as a pararescue special operator in the Air Force. He’s definitely intimately familiar with how far the body can be pushed and how the mind is all too often the limiting factor. Expect to be challenged and to have your weaknesses exposed on a daily basis. But also expect to grow. The other co-owner Abby definitely knows her stuff as well as anyone too and is as supportive and encouraging as anyone could hope for.

Fantastic experience: Very positive and supportive environment. This gym is known for its challenging programming, all of which can be scaled to any fitness or skill level. Perfect for drop ins while on travel or business. Expect 100% support from the coaches and fellow crossfitters, and you can count on leaving each workout feeling accomplished.

Fantastic experience: I just love Beer City crossfit. I've been coming for almost a year, and between the owners, coaches, community, and programming, I couldn't ask for a better gym. Whether you are seasoned, or new - there is a place for you. The workouts are challenging, but can be scaled to all abilities. Watch yourself expand your abilities in a way you never thought possible. Thats what bccf and crossfit mean to me... There's no better way to try it out than Beer City. Saturdays are free to the community!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended for athletes of all levels. Beer city crossfit is a great gym to build a foundation or in my case a great place to fix bad habits and make you stronger than you ever thought possible. The community in this gym is amazing, the owners have so much knowledge, and the coaches are great too. Simply put the best gym I've ever been a part of and I look forward to returning everyday

Fantastic experience: I've just started crossfit two months ago and I've seen great results. The programming is challenging and effective. The coaches are very knowledgable and helpful when it comes to form. No matter what your fitness levels are they'll work with you and you'll be in great shape. Everyone who works out here is super friendly, just don't be shy. Step outside your box and step into theirs... it's worth it.

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym! I don’t think I ever realized how positive a “gym experience” could be. Don’t get me wrong, the WODS aren’t rainbows and unicorns. In fact, they are the devil but I’ve made some great friendships at Beer City too. I look forward to hate-loving that hour several times per week. Thanks for the strength and the smiles you guys!

Fantastic experience: I'm Bias! But, been with this place from the get-go, and their experience in the CF world goes further back then any other local affiliate... there's so many wonderful things to say about the solid community this place has- kid friendly, consistent gym socials- it's family! Part of 3 gym family- south Charlotte crossfit, and Rocky top crossFit are also owned by the same couple- were not going anywhere!

Fantastic experience: I love you Beer City! Great programming, attentive coaches and supportive regulars make this the best gym experience I've ever had. I've never felt community so strong. If you're even thinking about it, you owe it to yourself to drop in. I think that your first WOD is free and so is every Saturday.

Fantastic experience: Just moved to the Asheville area and dropped in at a couple different CrossFits when I got here. Pretty much as soon as I stepped into the door I felt welcomed - not to mention how quickly they responded to me when I reached out before coming! The members, owners, and coaches have been so nice - and the workouts have been tough but doable for all levels. Definitely recommend to anyone in or passing through the area to check this place out!

Fantastic experience: Had the best time dropping in! Was visiting Asheville for a long weekend and so glad we chose BCCF for a drop in. Coaches and athletes were all so friendly and welcoming and the workout was a perfect, fun partner Saturday. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Thanks for letting me crash your private workout Lisa and Brian - very welcoming, even though you were supposed to be closed due to snow! Great kids room to keep my 3 year old occupied too! Highly recommend to drop in. Strong, nice, friendly people are my favorite. :)

Fantastic experience: Nobody Trains for Second Place! The coaches and members alike follow this attitude. Many gyms cater to the “just show up, participation medal” Mentality... This is NOT that gym! Everyone has one goal and one mind set which is 1% Better Everyday! When it’s Class Time, Be ready to punch that Time Card!

Fantastic experience: The level of excellence and professionalism of Beer City's staff and programming cannot be overstated. As a newbie to crossfit with a notable level of gym anxiety, I have never felt more encouraged and welcomed by a community of staff and fellow athletes who welcome newcomers from all levels of fitness. On top of being highly experienced and well-educated, each of the trainers bring a variety of pertinent occupations to the table from massage therapy to chiropracty. It's readily apparent that each of them genuinely enjoy facilitating people's progression in fitness. Most importantly, the trainers do an excellent job of ensuring safety by placing great emphasis on proper form for each exercise. I highly recommend Beer City Crossfit to anyone looking to safely make marked strides toward achieving an elite level of well-rounded fitness while being immersed into a community of genuine, welcoming, and hard working people.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love beer city crossfit. From the fundamentals class through all those kick ass wods, it has been nothing short of spectacular. The group of coaches and athletes here are phenomenal, and no one has ever made me feel less than welcome, capable and included. If you're looking for a box in AVL, Beer City is where it's at.

Fantastic experience: I purchased a 5-pack pass since I'm visiting for 2 weeks for an externship - I have been training at a box in Colorado for the past year and a half. I have been loving Beer City Crossfit and am amazed at the amount of work they fit in, in the hour! They make a great use of all of our time and incorporate multiple strength elements in addition to the WOD. The equipment is great and the coaches have been super welcoming and supportive. I wish Beer City CF was the box where I lived, because this is definitely where I'd go!

Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit gym in town. Such a great environment to work out in! Great coaches and programming and a fun, competitive atmosphere. Definitely give it a go if you're interested!

Fantastic experience: I did CrossFit in another city for nearly three years before moving to Asheville, where there were several CrossFit gyms (aka "boxes") to choose from. I am so happy I chose Beer City CrossFit, and here are some of the reasons: 1. The coaches (the NUMBER ONE most important thing to consider when choosing a CrossFit box)--the coaches at Beer City are themselves accomplished athletes and CrossFitters. In addition, they are friendly people who provide a challenging but encouraging environment to newbies and veterans alike. CrossFit can be intimidating from the outside, but the coaches at this box have fostered a laid-back atmosphere in which everyone feels welcome. Furthermore, the coaches here know when they can push you but (and this is important!!) they also know when to tell you to slow down. 2. The individual attention--many times there are two coaches present in the box for workouts, which affords a lot of individual attention. One of the coaches has worked extensively with me one-on-one on my technique for cleans and snatches. I've never received this amount of personalized coaching at any other box. 3. The space--there is ample equipment and space, as well as a shower/changing room and bathroom, and everything is kept clean and organized. There is no need for complicated equipment sharing during workouts, which is the case at some other boxes. 4. The "up and coming" vibe--Beer City CrossFit is a relatively new box. The community here is still taking shape, and many of the athletes are relatively new to CrossFit. This box has a lot of energy and potential; it is a great place to start your own personal journey towards fitness and make some new friends along the way!
