Fantastic experience: I have only been coming here since November but have loved every minute of it! Great workouts, really nice people! A+.

Fantastic experience: HEW coaches are the best! They give so much encouragement on this fitness journey. Love my HEW family!

Fantastic experience: This gym has such a fun and encouraging environment! All of the coaches and members are welcoming to new people. I enjoy the workouts and feel great after each class!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great coaches, and lots of options for class times.

Fantastic experience: HEW is a great place to workout! Always fun and challenging. The people are awesome!

Fantastic experience: Great people from staff to members and challenging workouts that offer constant variety. Can’t say enough about HEW!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym and the community. It’s definitely a second family. The gym allows you to have fun while working out and is a safe atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: My favorite hour of the day! I've been a member for several years. Love the variety in the workouts. The coaches and the member community are all fun and supportive. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I have gone to HEW for over 6 years. Before coming, I was never into box gyms. After experiencing the community and thoughtfully planned workouts, I was hooked. There is something here for everyone. I love it!

Fantastic experience: Fun work out! Wish staff had been a bit more involved during our class. After they showed us the circuit they spent most of the class chatting with each other. Nice spacious facility with good equipment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member since 2012 - that says a lot, considering I’ve tried every gym in Asheville. If you like a varied daily workout with one-on-one support from coaches, HEW is for you. It’s for any level of fitness. Modifications are normal and encouraged! Try it!

Fantastic experience: HEW is simply the best! 5 years ago I joined after a 5-week bootcamp and it changed my life. The coaches and community are amazing. Check it out, not just for the fitness but for your overall well-being. You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for a little over a year now. In addition to the strength and confidence I've gained, I have also made friends and found a community. Coaches are friendly and encouraging while offering many scalability options focusing on form. Other gym patrons are supportive, helpful, and funny. As a female who didn't have workout friends, gyms were always intimidating. Now going to the gym is the highlight of my day!

Fantastic experience: I love this place so much. Before HEW, I hated working out at a gym and dreaded going. The community and coaches here are amazing! Encouraging, personable, basically everything you could hope for at a place like this. The equipment is all in great shape and the workouts are never dull or repetitive. Every day is something different and you can always scale or modify the workouts to best fit your needs. I need a place I can go to take a structured class to keep me in line and motivated. Been going here for over 2 years now and have zero reason to look anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I’m from Georgia and happened to be in Asheville for work, so figured I would check out their location. They were all so welcoming and friendly. It’s always intimidating to walk in a gym with people you don’t know, but by the end of the week many faces became familiar ! They were super encouraging and it was great to see a different gym and how they operate. One thing I love about my Hew is the vibe and how uplifting w new people they are. I see that is persistent with this location and will def return when I visit this city again! Thanks for being inclusive to a newbie .

Positive experience: I love this gym! It was my first gym membership experience ever. And first CrossFit style gym experience. Boy, do they know how to keep me coming back. The coaches really care and know their stuff. When I was new and feeling a bit daunted, they would check in with me and help me with adaptations that made all the difference. The folks who work out are so friendly too. When I came back after a couple months hiatus, I was welcomed by staff and members with joy and smiles and warm curiosity that gelt so sincere. It’s really easy to love this place. … I’m giving 4 stars (not 5) bc the hours don’t always work well for me. And I would kill for a sauna and/or cold plunge.

Fantastic experience: I tend to get a bit nervous joining group fitness classes, but this crew is so welcoming and supportive! Great energy and a solid full body work out that you can adjust to the level of intensity you need and feel comfortable with!

Fantastic experience: About 4 months ago, I joined HEW on the recommendation of a friend. As an “outdoorsy” kind of guy, I was a little reluctant to commit to working out in a “box”. After a week, I was hooked. My fitness has improved immensely. The workouts offer a wide variety of challenges. The coaches are great- whether it is to give you a little extra motivation, to help refine your technique, or to find the right modification of an exercise that works for you. I’m a regular in the 6am class, and I couldn’t ask for a better bunch of folks to work out with. Motivation, support, and the occasional little friendly competition make it a routine I look forward to every morning.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful that I learned about HEW and have been able to attend so many wonderful workouts here. The trainers could not be more encouraging or more nice...they really care about you. I love how every day is so different. You will never be bored or tired of the workouts!

Fantastic experience: This is the best place to workout in Asheville! No question! I started at HEW about 9 months ago. At that point I hadn't done much exercising for the past couple of years and wanted to get back in shape. It is true, Hard Exercise Works! They work you hard, but you love them for it. The results will come - losing fat, gaining muscle, feeling 10 years younger. Its been amazing to me how much fun it is working this hard. The coaches are great, the other clients are great. Everyone works hard and makes friends doing it. If you are serious about getting in shape, I cant recommend HEW enough. It will be tough, for the first couple of weeks, but you'll love it!

Fantastic experience: My husband started going to HEW in March, and he kept coming home talking nonstop about the WODs. Being someone who has lifted weights and run their whole life, I was very intrigued yet very intimidated by the sound of the workouts. After my first WOD, I found that there was no need for the intimidation...all of the coaches work with you at your level and help you so that you can be successful. From day one, each of the coaches have known me by name and they create a relationship with each member. The workouts are super tough, but the people and the atmosphere make it fun!! My body is the strongest it's ever been, and I have worked muscles I never knew I had! Joining HEW has been the best thing I've ever done!!!

Fantastic experience: I completed my 3rd week of Hard Exercise Work today (bootcamp) and it has been such an amazing experience so far!! I started HEW 6 weeks after I had my second child and I'm so excited with the progress I've already seen. I feel that my goal of getting healthy and in shape are rapidly being met compared to any other workout plan I've ever done, especially because a recommended nutrition plan goes along with the workout schedule. The staff is very encouraging and motivating which helps me accomplish SO much more than I ever would on my own!!! I'm very thankful for this gym and my 6am class :) I hope to continue working out here after the bootcamp ends in 2 weeks.

Fantastic experience: HEW is truly a great and wonderful place! I found out about this place through a flyer that I picked up. Decided to give it a try, and what a wonderful decision this was. Truly amazing. The coaches are my Heroes, they are Encouraging, and the experience is Wonderful(HEW). I would definitely, highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone that is looking for a true workout. As the name implies, when you walk in the door, you ALREADY KNOW, what you are in for, and the workouts don't fail to deliver!! The newest, most inexperienced person will be welcomed and motivated beyond belief, just as the most fit individual, by the coaches, as well as by fellow members.

Fantastic experience: Five months ago I decided to try Hard Exercise Works simply because some of my friends were going to try it. I'm glad I did. With them joining it was the final push to get me to get up and change my life. Since the first day of bootcamp to the present, I have seen many improvements in myself; not only physically, but also my outlook on life each day. HEW is not just a gym, it is a family. A family that motivates and cheers you on to challenge yourself and to push past what you personally feel you can accomplish. They also hold you accountable and remind you that the only person who can change how you look and feel is YOU!

Fantastic experience: I started HEW in April as part of a 5 week boot camp! That was a life changing decision. I'm stronger and healthier than I've ever been. The coaches are amazing, knowledgeable and really encourage us all to do our best. No judgments. We are all at different levels, and all trying to improve daily and they understand that. They know everyone's name which is pretty amazing! I have joined gyms before and only went about twice a month which was a complete waste of money. HEW is a place you actually want to go every day! In the past four months, I've attended no less than four times a week! They have classes all day long from Monday - Friday starting as early as 5:50 am through 6:00 pm so it's really convenient for any work schedule, plus they offer two Saturday classes at 8:00 am and 9:00 am. The owners Nick and Caley genuinely care about their HEW family. I recommend HEW to everyone regardless of their fitness level. You will notice significant results after the first month.

Fantastic experience: Hard Exercise Works is AWESOME. Friendly, knowledgeable coaches are always on hand to answer questions, provide tips, advice and motivation. The workouts while challenging always end up being fun. HEW is a great place to achieve personal goals and set new ones while making friends and having a blast doing it.

Positive experience: Do you provide childcare?

Fantastic experience: Best gym!! Best community!! Best decision I have made for myself was to join HEW!!

Fantastic experience: No judgement! Hard work but even on day two I am feeling the difference! I love the teamwork and encouragement!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the community it creates. I’ve been here for 5 years and love the classes and the programming it has created. Not only do we lift heavy weights but we also get our cardio in and you can go at your own pace. This is a great place to start your workout journey.

Fantastic experience: Best decision I have ever made for my health!!! The people and staff are great, so supportive and helpful. Great experience and I highly recommend.

Positive experience: Great group of folks and a laid back but fun and uplifting atmosphere. Workouts are tough but easily modified for abilities and classes usually have a variety of people. They video both the group and you individually while you are working out and post the videos to social media. You can request they not video you, but they have a hard time keeping up with it, so if you don't like being filmed while you workout this might not be the place for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been at HEW since January. I love the family atmosphere and wonderful encouragement from the coaches. I couldn’t imagine spending my afternoons anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Best gym around. It's not just a gym- it's family. Within 5 weeks you truly can see a transformation in yourself physically and mentally. Absolutely recommend HEW to anyone who is on the fence about it.

Fantastic experience: HEW Asheville has great staff and a great facility. Everyone is so friendly but most importantly helpful. Everyday there is something in the workout that I’ve never done before and they take their time to show me the correct form/technique. I would suggest this gym to someone that hasn’t been to the gym in years or someone that goes every single day. Highly Recommend!

Fantastic experience: On top of being an AMAZING gym that has given me some incredible results... the staff and members have done an impeccable job at keeping the place safe and sparkling CLEAN. I have been a member for almost 3 years and during these crazy times, this gym has kept me sane. They ran Zoom classes every hour for most of the day during quarantine, they complied with all COVID precautions and now that they are open again, they are taking all measures to help everyone stay healthy (while still offering Zoom classes to anyone that isn't ready with in-person workouts). Everyone has their own equipment, their own pod to work out in, temperatures are checked at desk and masks are worn any time you aren't in your "pod" working out. I've seen the staff sanitize all of the bathrooms and community areas multiple times a day AND the equipment is sanitized after every class, so that the next class is good to go! I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a gym to visit HEW.

Fantastic experience: HEW is an amazing gym....it’s a very positive environment and the workouts are challenging but scalable to your current level. You’ll never get bored since there’s a new workout every day! All the coaches are highly trained and friendly and have helped me learn so much about proper form. There’s a little kids area so if I need to bring my toddler she can play as I work out and keep an eye on her.

Fantastic experience: HEW is one of the BEST gifts I could have given to myself. The coaches are all awesome, knowledgeable and extremely motivating, and take time during workouts to check in with or challenge me. The community of members feels like family and every time I go to HEW, I feel better about the healthy choices I’ve made. It’s less than an hour of my day, but it may be one of the most valuable - give it a try, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I have returned to HEW after seven years! I have had three kids and I definitely feel it! All the coaches have been so encouraging and reminding me change doesn’t happen over night! I have started the HEW challenge and it has been amazing! I love my NOON class! I would highly recommend HEW! All the coaches are so knowledgeable about getting fit as well!

Fantastic experience: I followed a friend to Hard Exercise Works (HEW). After having four kids I needed to make some changes in my life. I didn't know what to expect from HEW and was nervous to attend my first several classes. I never thought I'd be a daily gym goer, but it's now 2 years later and I'm still going. I've found support and encouragement. I've lost fat and gained muscle. I feel strong. I've challenged myself physically and mentally. I don't know where I'd be today if I'd never walked through the doors of Hard Exercise Works, but I'm thankful I don't have to find out.

Fantastic experience: I joined HEW on a whim in 2015. I had a groupon for a 5 week boot camp program, and was looking for a new way to get in shape. I instantly loved HEW. The coaches are more than supportive, and always help to tailor your workout to your capabilities. I never dreamed that 5 years later, I’d be doing what I do now. I am in the best shape of my life, and have several competition podium finishes under my belt. I have made lifelong friends at this gym and plan to be here for a long time. If you’re stuck in a rut and looking for a fitness community... look no further. HEW is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Great place to reach your fitness goals. The coaches are amazing! They are there for you during workouts to ensure your safety and cheer you on. The coaches also provide assistance in helping you reach your personal fitness and nutritional goals. HEW's focus is on health and strength, not just focusing on making bodybuilders. HEW is very supportive of parents with little ones by having a play area for the children visible to parents. The members are great, too. We cheer each other on especially during the tough workouts. There is so much diversity among members, and HEW coaches make everyone feel like they belong at HEW. I personally enjoy different workouts each day, a wide variety of class times during the day, and modifications for people like me who are not the most athletic. Hard exercise works!

Fantastic experience: HEW has awesome coaches, is always sparking clean and has classes all day long, which is super convenient for the working parent. My kids also don't mind going because I don't have to drop them off in a separate room. There is a kids area beside the workout area, so they can play and hang out and watch their parents kick butt at a workout.

Fantastic experience: Yes, the workouts are challenging but they can be scaled back to any fitness level. There’s a great sense of community. All the coaches are very encouraging and will to take the time to make sure you’re doing the movements correctly. Highly recommend walking to HEW and checking it out yourself!!

Fantastic experience: I have been at HEW for about 4 months and this is by far my best ever gym experience!! The coaches are top notch, the owner cares about his members, and the workouts are tough but fun. I wake up Monday through Friday looking forward to going to the gym for the first time in my life. 5 stars!!!

Fantastic experience: 1 year update: If you join during a challenge, initially you come because it’s what you’re supposed to do when you join a gym. But then you come because it’s what you want to do! It’s not complicated... Hard Exercise Works! The coaches, the community make it! Joining Hew is still in the Top Five decisions I’ve ever made and I have 3 kids! Thinking about joining, just do it!! No regrets!

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym!! I joined the bootcamp to train for a race. My goal was to climb a rope and I met that and more!! It's been over 4 years since that bootcamp and I can't see myself ever going anywhere else. The workouts are always challenging. The coaches are phenomenal. You won't be sorry you tried it!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at HEW for about six months now and am happy to not be wasting my time wondering around the gym anymore! All of the coaches are fantastic and really care about your goals and safety. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to HEW for almost a year now. It’s not convenient to where I live, and it’s not the cheapest gym membership in town, but I’m there 5 times a week most weeks. Because the coaches and the members form an amazing community that keep me coming back, and the workouts are challenging and fun and always different. I started out thinking I would just try it for a few weeks during a challenge they hosted last year, and now it’s something I look forward to every day! I’ve made incredible progress in my fitness level thanks to the workout programming, and the challenges they offer are tough to stick to but make a huge difference in understanding how important proper nutrition is in maintaining fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to join a community of people who care about being the best versions of themselves and who support each other in those journeys!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to HEW for a few years now and I have to say it's probably the best gym I have ever been to. I've never joined a gym and stuck it out and stayed as consistent before! I highly recommend that anybody try this place out and experience for themselves the awesome that is HEW! The coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging, the facility is clean, and the workouts are brutal.

Fantastic experience: I always hated working out ....i got bored at the gym doing the same stuff everyday...I wasn’t challenged .....HEW provides different workouts every day and trust me you will not get bored. All the coaches are AMAZING and are there to help you in any way they can ......You are not just a gym member, you are a member of the HEW family. The many friends I have made throughout my HEW experience so far has been amazing .....Go for a free workout to see what its all about and I promise you will fall in love just like I did....I enjoy going to the gym now and look forward to what we are doing that day and improving my strength, stamina, and overall feeling physically and mentally better about myself. Oh yeah, and the weight loss is pretty great too, lol

Fantastic experience: I started coming to HEW as part of a six-week challenge and have worked out here five days a week for over a year. The workouts are challenging but not impossible and fun. The coaches create a welcoming environment by going above and beyond to make sure you understand the workout while still being safe. I can't speak highly enough about this facility.

Fantastic experience: Great gym that is very friendly and encouraging. Knowledgeable coaches that are very supportive. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Fantastic experience: HEW has made me stronger, more flexible, and I truly enjoy the friends I’ve made! Thanks HEW!

Positive experience: I usually go six days a week; lots of class times to choose from makes it very convenient. Love the weight lifting days. A good place to find like-minded people who want to improve their fitness.

Fantastic experience: If you want to change your life and don’t know where to start this gym is it! Never in my life have I push myself so far and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help from these awesome people. If you have goals that have seemed impossible to reach in the past this is definitely the place for you. They help you get there!!!

Fantastic experience: HEW is one of the best decisions I have made for my health. I walked in my first day a few months ago and was very overwhelmed and thought I will try this but there is no way I can do this. However, I am not one to turn down a challenge and I am so glad I was wrong. I am doing things I never thought I could do because of the help of the super knowledgeable staff. This isn't just a place to workout but a place where you can build a community! I now make HEW part of my daily routine because I know mentally and physically I am in a better place coming to HEW. Highly recommend this amazing place!

Would highly recommend to anyone looking to join a community of people who care about being the best versions of themselves and who support each other in those journeys!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for years and I highly recommend it. I was intimidated at first- by the name and the workouts- but I gave it a try and I'm hooked. It's a great place for people of all ages and fitness levels. There are regular gym outings and social opportunities organized by the owner, so if you're also looking to form community this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: HEW is best decision I have made for my health. Physically because I am working hard for 45 minute workouts every day, but also mentally because I am overcoming fitness fears. Rope climbs, Olympic lifts, running...I am conquering them all with the help of the super knowledgeable staff. I have kids and they can come with me also, the staff also helps keep them entertained while I work out. The 5 week challenge will train you on what/how much to eat and will set you up for lifetime success if you utilize it!!! Highly recommend this awesome place to change your life!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym through the 6 week FREE challenge they do!! Is it intense? Yes! Is it fun? Hell yes! Is it difficult? Definitely! But it’s the beat thing I’ve ever done for myself! The coaches are amazing and the encouragement from all of them is incredible! First time doing CrossFit and The experience at HEW Asheville with everyone is amazing! Definitely give this gym a try, you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: Love getting to come here when I come home to visit my parents! Great place to get a quick hard workout in but the staff is what makes it! My father passed on this trip and Niki was just so sweet and kept checking on me and asking if I was ok! If your a local and looking for a place to train of course you can get a workout anywhere but if your looking for a great community and to make your all life healthy - mind, body and soul! I would choose here in a heartbeat! Thanks Niki and everyone at HEW! ❤️

Fantastic experience: The first time I walked into HEW and saw the way people were exercising, I wanted to turn around and run out the door, because I couldn't imagine myself being able to do those things. I was more than a little intimidated. But that's been the problem for decades... wanting a stronger body but not thinking I could actually do it. Now, just a couple of months in, I know I can do it and I'm doing things I've never done before! The owner and coaches at HEW are unwaveringly supportive and excellent teachers at breaking down movements so anyone, at any skill level, can succeed. In the past two months I have gained physical and personal strength, confidence, friendships, community, and a new found appreciation for myself, as well as the ability to get back into old clothing that had, until recently, been retired. I hoped to get in better shape, and that has certainly begun, but I never expected to love it so much. Sweat, tears, calluses, soreness, more sweat, and daily personal victories are all part of the journey towards becoming HEW-tiful, and it's a journey worth taking. You are worth showing up for yourself, and I highly encourage anyone to give it a try. You won't be sorry... you'll only be better.

Fantastic experience: This place is great! I love it here. I’ve done the 6 week challenge with hew and I’ve lost 22.5 lbs in that little time. It was hard but i enjoyed every minute with everyone there. The coach’s are always there if you have questions or if you can’t do something and are always happy to help. Even the other members will cheer you on and give you the boost to keep going. Also if you are doing the 6week challenge be sure to follow the diet plan! All in all HARD EXERCISE WORKS!!! Ps. Always push through and never give up!

Fantastic experience: HEW is the best place to workout, the owner and the coaches are knowledgeable, passionate and professional in every aspect, they will walk you trough a workout, encourage you and they don’t hesitate to help.. Plus they are so much fun to be around. I have never been to a gym with a better vibe. The workouts are challenging but they will help you achieve the results your looking for with the help of couches. I have lost 11.5 pounds 17.75 inches in 6 weeks, I feel amazing, look great, I have more energy and much stronger than I have ever been. If you are looking to get fit, strong, and/or to lose weight then HEW is a place for you, I highly recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: The staff at HEW Asheville is awesome. They are great motivators and have great attitudes. I haven't pushed myself this hard since my days of college baseball and I feel much stronger and athletic. The other HEW members are equally helpful and motivating and there is a fun team atmosphere, which helps you get through the tough workouts.

Fantastic experience: I'm super impressed with this gym and the coaches and the folks I've been working out with regularly! In the 6 weeks that I have been going, there have been so many positive results that go WAY beyond weigh loss. The work outs are always different and challenging and I'm never bored or sorry I went.

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent gym to get into awesome shape. The coaches are committed to seeing you succeed and offer extremely helpful advice and tips on being a better you. By working out here I found strength and confidence I had lost for some time. I can't recommend this gym enough.

Fantastic experience: HEW is amazing!!! I've had such a great experience working out, improving my form and getting awesome results. The coaches are fantastic and highly educated in teaching proper form in all the movements. They are incredibly encouraging in getting to know you and pushing you to reach your goals. Everyone in the gym is like family and it's really nice coming in and being around such a positive uplifting vibe. If you want to get ripped, come to HEW!!!!

Fantastic experience: I participated in the 6 week Transformation Challenge and loved the classes here. There are many class times during the week which makes it really convenient to fit into a busy schedule (there are 2 classes on Saturday AM and closed on Sunday). The exercises were varied day to day, with a good mix of cardio and strength training. What makes this place stand out are the coaches- they are simply amazing. I am so impressed how many of the coaches know every member's name- even newbies! I love that each class has 3 trainers which ensures that there is always someone easily available if you need help with modifications or to correct your form. HEW is great for all fitness types and the coaches help make it feel very approachable. The only thing I didn't 100% love about the Transformation Challenge was the nutrition piece- while there are many positives about it, I am personally not a fan of a nutrition program than bans so many types of foods, even certain types of fruit and vegetables. It did help enforce portion control and meal prepping, which was helpful to me. Overall- love this gym and it's people!

Fantastic experience: This was a life changing experience and a new way of life really works.

Fantastic experience: Can't imagine my mornings without HEW.

Fantastic experience: HEW is a wonderful place to work out I absolutely love it, I thought I wasn't going to be able to do the work out but the coaches are wonderful, they motivate you, and if there's something your having trouble with as far as the work out, no worries the will do the absolute best to help you in any way possible, I definitely recommend HEW to any and everybody that's looking for a life change.

Fantastic experience: This is the gym you wanna join! It’s hard but it’s so worth it. The group setting and the coaches make working out so much fun! Check this place out! You will NOT regret it!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. They make you work hard to accomplish any goal you set for yourself and encourage you every step of the way. It is like a second family. Made some new friends/workout buddies and coaches are awesome. Come try it, you'll love it!!!

Fantastic experience: I have MS. Arnarldo has been helping guide my personal exercise. He recommended a rowing machine. I have been using it for 30 days. My core has increased significantly. My right leg strength has also recovered substantially so that my gait is closer to normal. Thanks Arnaldo.

Fantastic experience: best gym i have ever been to. pushed beyond my limits and now im in my best shape ever. the coaches are so supportive and the atmosphere is like no other. recommend this gym to anyone over all the rest

Fantastic experience: HEW is awesome! All of the coaches are super supportive. I feel so much better physically and mentally since Ive started working out there. I've also been sleeping so much better!

Fantastic experience: This place from their owner, Arnaldo, to the coaches all the way down to the facility are simply unmatched! The workouts are inclusive, supportive, and, well, HARD! I have a unique physical condition that makes it challenging to complete some of the movements within the daily workouts. However Arnaldo and his team stepped up without hesitation and found ways, unique to my needs, and encouraged me to be successful. To say highly recommended would be an understatement.

Fantastic experience: Great place for any fitness level. My wife and I have thrived there despite our long hiatus from exercise and a healthy diet. We started with the free 6 week challenge and now members with no end in sight. The community there keeps you motivated and progressing. It’s been just what we needed as a family. Update: 4 months in and still awesome.

Fantastic experience: This place has pushed me beyond my limits! I couldn’t do this by myself! Love that you can show up and everything is planned out for you. I love the encouragement from the coaches and community. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: HEW is a Wonderful place to workout, the coaches are awesome. What I like most is the hearts❤ of the coaches. HEW does not just focus on cross fit. They also focus on giving back. There is always some kind of fund raiser going on to support the needs of others. We need more people like the HEWmans. So come join us in giving back and looking good while you do it.

Fantastic experience: HEW Asheville is the best choice I made for sustaining a happy healthy day to day physical and mental wellness. I started at HEW almost 2 years ago on a 5 week boot camp given to me by a friend and coworker. I now go 5 days a week and have made this part of my daily life, and now have my awesome wife going also. The coaches at HEW are amazingly helpful and motivating. The clients in every class motivate each other and for these reasons I know my gym is the best!!

Fantastic experience: This place us the best combination of hard work ethic and community. I had been going to the gym sporadically over the past couple years and in January of this year committed to taking my fitness seriously. I have seen dramatic results in both weight loss and gaining strength. HEW has the absolute best coaches I have ever experienced, and the WNC area has voted them as such for years now. There's a reason why. They care and want everyone to succeed. Everyone is really supportive and I couldn't ask to be part of a better community of people.

Fantastic experience: I started attending HEW with the 5 week boot camp after losing around 45 pounds focusing almost entirely on nutrition. My goal was to lose any additional weight and fill in some areas of my physique left over after losing the weight. Since then I have lost an additional 13 pounds and gained what I think is significant muscle definition all while having a blast with constantly varying programming. An unexpected bonus is the friendships and camaraderie that my wife and I have experienced with both the staff and fellows w HEWmans. Great place to work out and push yourself to new limits.

Fantastic experience: I just completed my 5 week boot camp at HEW and within the first 4 weeks I had already lost 13.5 inches off of my entire body! I now have joined and am continuing this journey in order to reach my physical goals. Prior to HEW I had yearly gym memberships to other facilities yet never saw any major result. It was astounding that by simply showing up and trying my best during the workouts that my body made such a drastic change so quickly. Yes it is challenging but this experience has made me realize that I now don't have to wish that my body looked a certain way, but I am actively achieving my dream body through Hard Exercise Works.

Fantastic experience: Hard Exercise Works is by far the greatest gym community I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Before starting here, workouts felt like a chore. At HEW, all you have to do is show up with a good attitude. The coaches do all the planning, equipment setup, time keeping, etc. and they truly care about YOU. I almost didn't join because of the cost, but I've learned it's a very small price to pay for the countless life benefits I gain every day here.

Fantastic experience: Hard exercise works Asheville is incredible! Their five days a week five week Boot Camp is the perfect prescription for anybody who wants to get fit and healthy but doesn't know where to start. I'm one week in and wasn't sure that I could keep up because I am completely out of shape. I have already seen results in so many ways. I really look forward to going to the gym each morning. And after reading this out loud I'm pretty sure I've never said those words before. I highly recommend that anyone who is looking for start to a better life, or an alternative to your current boring workout regiment try Hard Exercise Works in Asheville. Tell them Tom sent you!
