Blue Ridge CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: Great coaches with great leadership and knowledge; I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a place to workout.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member since May of 2021. This community is sweet and important to my family. I continue to attend for my mental health, physical fitness, and community. I love the accountability and the camaraderie. Coach Tom, the owner, has a huge heart for all of his people, and he’s an expert of the craft. His programming WILL get you STRONG and more FIT. He sets a high bar for outcomes and the quality he trains and expects from other coaches. Coach Dave, long time member and coach bas been a huge encouragement to my family and continues to inspire me. ADVICE: Show up, humble yourself, follow the programming, keep showing up, humble yourself some more by training smarter, and RESULTS WILL COME. #ONEtribe

Fantastic experience: Blue Ridge has been a huge blessing to our family! Tom does a stand out job programming and coaching in a way that anyone can learn and have success in their workout without being overwhelmed. He helped me modify movements so I could workout through my entire pregnancy and get back in the gym as quickly as possible postpartum. We've met the greatest people working out & look forward to seeing them each day. #onetribe

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. When you think of it, I'm not a typical Crossfit body person, but what I am able to do, I do; things I need to modify, I do. Not once has anyone ever made me feel bad about the things I couldn't. The atmosphere is amazing, the people who come here are incredible, and the coaching from Tom is unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Community at this place is outstanding. Can't say enough about the coaches, they really work with you from mobility issues to skill levels. I really enjoy working out here.

Fantastic experience: THIS PLACE ROCKS!!! I cannot recommend Blue Ridge CrossFit (BRCF) enough! Long review incoming. I used to travel a lot for my job and have dropped into MANY CrossFit gyms across the US and BRCF is BY FAR the best one I've ever been to! When my wife and I moved to Asheville, we were really stressed about finding a new CrossFit gym. BRCF was the first and only gym we tried as we fell in love after our first visit. We asked a lot of questions and veteran, coach and owner Tom Tomlo happily answered all of them. Everything here is great - the coaches in training, veteran owner coach Tom Tomlo, equipment, facility, members and programming! The programming is some of the best I've ever done! In the past I have done various types like Frowning, Fraser, custom and Tom's/ BRCF is the best! Tom Tomlo has quite the resume and has been doing this for a long time and it shows in the programming he writes. My wife and I have been coming for 4 months and have seen significant results and are doing movements we could never do before and hitting PRs we never thought we could. If you show up with a positive attitude, put the work in and are consistent each week, you will see results here! Tom Tomlo is one of the few owners that actually practices what he preaches and what's even more impressive is the training he himself does EVERYDAY! In addition to the programming he writes and his own training, he does 100 pullups, 200 pushups and 300 air squats EVERYDAY and has been for the last 4 years! Now THAT is impressive! Tom is also an amazing selfless human being. Always looking out for what's best for his members and goes out of his way to check-in on people and to make new members feel at home! He always talks about good habits - nutrition, healthy habits, lots of water and rest! What I also respect about Tom is he doesn't tolerate BS and tells it like it is. Another thing I love about this gym is they don't tolerate people being late. If you show up late, there is a burpee penalty and rightfully so! I really cannot say anything bad about this CrossFit gym or Tom Tomlo. If you've read this whole review and are reading this, I challenge you to drop in here and give it a try. If you have a positive attitude, work hard, want to get in shape and surround yourself with like minded people, this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: I've known Tommy since childhood and can tell you, as someone who trains and loves Crossfit, that he is a top notch coach and so is his gym. It has such a great vibe with everyone who trains there and you leave feeling great! I had recently had a shoulder and pec muscle injury back in December that required surgery and sidelined me for 6 months, as I had to go through physical therapy. When I was cleared by my doctor in June to start working out again, my shoulder and pec muscle was very weak. Tommy put me on a program that I call "Rehab Crossfit" to slowly get my strength back. Now I am almost at about 80-90% strength. In about 2 or 3 months, I should be at 100%. So whether you are experienced, new, or have a situation like me where you get injured, Blue Ridge Crossfit is the place for Crossfit Training! There's no one better than Tommy that is more knowledgeable and best at what he does!

Fantastic experience: The owner of this gym has done a wonderful job of building a positive community of athletes. The programming is great for any one at any age and the family friendly environment makes this place a joy to walk in the door.

Fantastic experience: Programming is top notch, community is warm and welcoming, tons of equipment, and coaching staff is excellent and thorough. Great place to train and see results!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Blue Ridge Crossfit for the warm welcome! I will definitely come back when I return to the area. The facility was top notch and the community was very welcoming from the minute I stepped through the doors.

Negative experience: Owner is extremely hateful and thinks it's funny to make fun of people who recently died on the internet. Not vegan friendly.

Fantastic experience: I’m new to CrossFit and BlueRidge has been the best place to get into it. Such a friendly, welcoming community with experienced and knowledgeable coaches. The energy around this place cannot be beat - I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start this journey.

Fantastic experience: We chose this as a drop in while we’re in town and it was an outstanding community, great coaching, and an awesome facility!! We will be back.

Fantastic experience: This place was awesome! So much equipment, such friendly and welcoming members, and a fantastic coach in Coach Tom. Workout was a lower intensity for the day but that’s ok because CF is constantly varied. I was a drop in because I was passing through but I’d 100% go there again if I was in town. If you are looking for a gym and live in the Asheville area, go and check them out!

Fantastic experience: I was in the area for work, and they had great reviews so decided to drop in. Dropped in two nights and felt extremely welcomed. Got a great work out and got to feel like back home. Owner was very nice.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in on a Tuesday morning. Coach David was great. I'm a senior athlete and he was very accommodating with my modifications.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I dropped in here while visiting family in the Asheville area over the Thanksgiving holiday. Very friendly community and we were welcomed like we were members. Tom leads a great gym, supportive of all levels of fitness, and you can tell that the members truly enjoy working out there. We will be back when we’re in town again!

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym! Coach Tom is the best. I love the team atmosphere, the environment, and the coaching. I’ve seen big results in the past few months. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great family.

Fantastic experience: So happy I’ve found this gym, after the pandemic I felt it was necessary to return to the gym. The toxic culture of regular gyms was not where i wanted to return. So i tried 3 different CrossFit gyms, I went to blue ridge first and was completely amazed at the community of incredible people I’ve met, how encouraging they were and how determined they were about helping me reach my goals and return to fitness. I knew immediately this was the gym I wanted to be a part of, nonetheless i gave the other two a shot and it was nothing compared to the motivation, support at Blue ridge, it was transactional where blue ridge encouraged me to come back and make sure this was the right fit for me. It has been 5 months and i couldn’t be happier to be part of the Blue Ridge CrossFit family! Thank you Tom for being such a wonderful coach that leads with his heart and soul!! Also my dog has become part of the family and it’s her favorite place to be! #onetribe

Fantastic experience: I’m an over the road 18 wheel truck driver. I had the pleasure of stopping in there the other night while I had a delivery the next morning. I asked if I could use the gym for the night and I was warmly excepted into their wonderful Gym I witnessed a diverse group of individuals going through a CrossFit class. The instructors motto was “Do it light and do it right.” All his instructions were super clear, he was able to demonstrate all the skills and make sure everybody understood what was expected. He then made sure that all exercises were scaled to each person’s skill level and fitness level. What a great place and I would highly recommend it. While I’m on the road I frequently try to hit a gym and get a workout in. I hope I get in this area again sometime in the future as I will definitely return back to this gym. Thank you again to the gang at blue Ridge CrossFit

Fantastic experience: Dropped in this morning and had a fantastic experience. Could not have been more welcoming. Excellent, intense workout. Great coaching on Tom’s part. Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in at Blue Ridge CrossFit while on vacation in Asheville, great gym, cool vibe, Coach Tom and the rest of the 6:00 am class were friendly and welcoming. I will come again in my next trip through Asheville!

Fantastic experience: Great experience at this CrossFit gym while traveling for work. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town.

Fantastic experience: Great experience at this CrossFit gym while traveling for work. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town.

Fantastic experience: Had a great workout this morning with coach David. Amazing facility. Friendly staff. Easy to get to from the highway. Definitely recommend a drop in if your in town.

Fantastic experience: Owner/Head Coach, Tom Tomlo is a top notch trainer.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in while traveling for business and was impressed by how friendly this box was. Coach Dave and the members really made me feel welcome. I enjoyed the workout and would definitely return.

Fantastic experience: My time at Blue Ridge CrossFit has been life changing. I’ve experienced amazing health benefits and rediscovered my passion for athletics and physical fitness. I’ve also gained confidence in and out of the gym. The coaching is outstanding and the community is supportive and truly special. I love it here!

Fantastic experience: BRCF is more than a gym, it's a place to call home. My first time visiting they were holding a free community WOD and Barbecue for anyone to come. Since then and all these years later I've come to see what makes this place so special. When it comes to coaching, training and programing you won't find better. And as important as that is, especially to me (an ex college and professional athlete) the welcoming, supportive, encouraging family environment is what separates them from the rest. If you're new to crossfit or an old veteran, don't worry. The workouts are infinitely scalable and perfect (challenging) for all skill levels. Emphasis is placed on proper movement patterns above leaderboard numbers/times/scores. Because they understand being safe and doing things right is the keys to being successful, reaching max growth and having longevity. I've visited many gyms in my day and I'm proud to call Blue Ridge "My Tribe"... If you're considering dropping in for a visit, don't hesitate to do so. I promise you won't regret it, might end up considering it home too ;)

Fantastic experience: The best training and programming in the area. The coaching is incredible and allows all fitness levels, ability and ages.

Fantastic experience: Amazing group of PEPOLE. Thank you for letting us join you on our work trip to Ashville. We will see you again soon .

Fantastic experience: Before joining Blue Ridge, I had never done CrossFit. I had never even weight lifted before! However, this is the only gym I’ve been able to go to consistently. After having 2 children, I needed a change and motivation. That’s what this gym provides, true coaching and motivation. It may have been intimidating at first, but the owner and members were friendly and helpful to a newbie like me. If you have goals, you will achieve them here. If you don’t have goals, you just might make some after a short time at this gym!

Fantastic experience: The owner, coaches and programming at Blue Ridge CrossFit priceless features here. You just can’t find all of these in one place anywhere else. The coaching focuses on weaknesses, scalability, and progress moving forward. My husband and I have a full CrossFit gym in our home, so paying for a membership here is OUR choice because it so worth it! Blue Ridge CrossFit is the epitome of what the CrossFit community is all about!

Fantastic experience: Blue Ridge Crossfit is definitly well rounded in their aproach to fitness and has a great community of athletes at all fitness levels. Coaches are proffesional and curtious, the members motivate and push each other to be their best. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve there overall fitness.
