Atascadero CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: I was very happy with the 6 week challenge. my body changed fast and was a great motivator. I learned so much about a better way of eating and that protein is key. I will continue my journey with cleaner eating for sure. The workouts were great, love Brooks. The people at the 4:30 class are so welcoming, love all the girls I work out with. I am not a big fan of the bar and lifting weights but it’s something I will keep working on. My coach Tracy is very motivational and not judgmental…. Which is something I really needed. I have learned that working out and eating right and getting stronger is not about perfection , it’s about doing your best and when you fall off track forgive yourself and get back at it. Thank you for offering such a different environment for our community, always making things fun and open for feedback and really caring about people. I will stick with ACF and hopefully as I become stronger and more confident I will join in with more activites. Thanks again. And yes you can post my results, I am proud of them even if I didn’t hit my goal Of 12 pounds.

Fantastic experience: I've had a fantastic time at Atascadero Crossfit. I started doing the 6 week challenge and learned how to improve my meals and the habits that weren't consistent with wanting to lose weight. I've lost 14 lbs and feel stronger than I have in years from the classes and the awesome instructors!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in this morning for a workout. They were very welcoming, I felt comfortable right away. The coach was knowledgeable and the members were friendly. The workout was tough but many scales were provided. This is a top notch gym. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: I decided to try Atascadero CrossFit out on a whim in my urge to want to change my lifestyle. I went to my first class (free) to try it out and fell absolutely in love. The people were awesome and very encouraging . I instantly felt welcomed with open arms. I love how the workouts are level based which allows you to adjust based on your needs. After leaving my first day I am excited to go back for more. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The greatest gym I’ve been to! I love the diversity of all the workouts and how structured it is. With two kiddos and a hectic busy schedule, they offer so many class times, full equipment, schedule of workouts and the coaches show you each move. I have grown so much in strength and my mentality and have lost weight too where I’ve been receiving compliments for my dedication and efforts. I completed a 6 week transformation and lost 13.5 pounds of body fat! Consistency was key. But enough about me, let me tell you about the COMMUNITY. Every coach and member has been so welcoming and kind and encouraging and inspiring! No judgment here because everyone is from all different backgrounds, strengths, and levels - they are just proud to see you show up and CARE for your wellbeing! Your goals and fitness journey and wealth in health start here. And no matter where life takes you, ACF proves to want the best for you and believe in you to do your best and be at your best! Thanks for listening to my TED talk. :)

Negative experience: Title: Beware of Atascadero CrossFit: Deceptive Practices and False Advertising Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) Review: I recently came across an enticing offer from Atascadero CrossFit advertising a free 6-week body transformation program. As someone looking to kickstart a healthier lifestyle, I was immediately drawn in by the prospect of a complimentary fitness program. However, my experience with Atascadero CrossFit quickly turned sour as it became evident that their marketing tactics were nothing more than a bait-and-switch scheme. Upon arriving at the gym and expressing my interest in the advertised free program, I was promptly informed that it was not actually free as advertised. Instead, I was informed that I would need to shell out a staggering $599.00 to participate. This blatant discrepancy between their advertisement and reality left me feeling deceived and taken advantage of. Not only is this a clear case of false advertising, but it also reeks of dishonest business practices. It's one thing to offer promotions to attract customers, but it's entirely another to lure individuals in with promises of free services only to demand a hefty payment once they're through the door. Furthermore, the attitude of the staff was dismissive and unapologetic when confronted about the misleading advertisement. Instead of acknowledging their mistake and attempting to rectify the situation, they seemed content with attempting to coerce unsuspecting customers into paying for a program they never intended to offer for free. In conclusion, my experience with Atascadero CrossFit was thoroughly disappointing and disheartening. I strongly advise anyone considering joining this gym to proceed with caution and skepticism. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is, especially when it comes to Atascadero CrossFit and their deceptive marketing tactics. Save your time, money, and trust, and look elsewhere for a gym that values honesty and transparency.

Fantastic experience: Gym is always clean and well organized. Classes start on time. Coaches are enthusiastic about being here. The unique "Level Method" makes this Crossfit Gym accessible for beginners who might otherwise be intimidated by a new sport. The "Level Method" is similar to a martial arts belt level. Each level is a new color code, so everyone works out together but new members can start at their skill set and then work up the color levels assisted by the coaches. There's something for everyone here from beginners on up . Bonus: everyone is friendly and there is no gym snobbery here. High - fives and smiles all around.

Fantastic experience: If you like going to the gym and doing the same five or six exercises every time and not having any interaction with anyone else, then Atascadero CrossFit is not the place for you. But if you want challenging strength and endurance workouts that target all major muscle groups taught by knowledgeable and motivated coaches in an environment that is beyond supportive then Atascadero CrossFit is where you need to be. The coaches are all certified trainers and can help tailor the workouts so that both the elite athlete and the beginner can train to their full potential. The coaches will work with you to make sure you get the most out of your workout and complete the movements safely to avoid injury. The members are friendly and welcoming and will greet new members or drop-ins with open arms. It's amazing to see someone's first pushup celebrated with as much enthusiasm as a 400 pound deadlift. There's no shortage of high fives or encouragement to get you through the workouts. Atascadero CrossFit also offers personal training and nutritional coaching to take your fitness to the next level. There are often intramural group challenges and fun competitions as well. I recently participated in a six-week nutrition challenge and with the support of the coaches and other members, I lost 12 pounds and decreased my body fat by 5%. I have been a member of Atascadero CrossFit for two years and I learn something new in each class. The group fitness classes are always fun and challenging. It's really the highlight of my day. I would recommend Atascadero CrossFit to anyone at any fitness level. It's truly a special place

Fantastic experience: Super friendly community!! And great workouts!

Fantastic experience: Love the workouts, spirit and community!!! So much love!!

Fantastic experience: I took a chance on a random Facebook post and a little investment of some money and discipline, in retrospect it was the best investment I’ve ever made. My life has been changed forever. The people, skills and personal development I’ve experienced has made me feel the best I’ve ever felt in my life. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: Atascadero CrossFit - ACFOPEN2024!! This year’s Cross fit Open at ACF has been epic… I cannot believe it already over. I want to do a google review so anyone that is considering making a change in their fitness routine would know that Atascadero CrossFit is the place to make that change…the community, the coaches, the programming. Anyone, any age, any capacity.. even if you think you can’t everyone at ACF will help you know that you can!

Fantastic experience: Always a great atmosphere with knowledgeable coaching staff. I frequent both morning classes and afternoon classes. The variety of the programming and 1 on 1 coaching availability has really skyrocketed my skillzzz! It is one of the bright spots in my day for sure!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to level up in your fitness, community, and life. Come down and give Atascadero CrossFit the opportunity to show you how.

Fantastic experience: Just at my one year anniversary and I wanted to update my review... This place isn't just what I wrote previously, it's even better. I've done various things in the last year that would have sidelined me for years... But the family environment at ACF is so great that they help pull and support me in my hard times and pump me up even higher at my highs. I genuinely look forward to coming each day and the friendships I've made with the people I swear with. I've gotten so much stronger, physically and mentally, and have lost a ton of fat. But really what makes the difference is that you don't just go there and disappear (unless you want to bc we respect that) but the people have good hearts and legitimately care about your health and well being. ❤️ ___________________ I have a long history of trying various workout programs and hurting myself or just losing attention or interest in it, the amount of money I've given to gyms and then not gone is absurd. I was very concerned before stepping foot into ACF that I would get hurt, be laughed out of the place, or just not feel comfortable enough to keep going. But immediately when I came in I was welcomed like an old friend, asked about myself and what I'm looking for... I started in March on the 6 week program and couldn't do a squat more than a couple inches due to a knee issue, I could barely do a pushup to the wall. But I was patient and kept coming back, put in the work, developed so many friendships with the other members and coaches so that now it's literally the highlight of my day to walk in that door. It's such a special place and I hope more people like me come that aren't sure they can do anything, because it is so incredibly exciting see your progress.

Fantastic experience: We are new to the area and were looking for community and fitness - and we found both in spades at ACF! You'll love it so much that you'll even want to spend your birthday here, like we did in this photo (after lots of bday burpees) : )

Fantastic experience: Atascadero CrossFit is the premier strength and conditioning program in all of SLO County. The community, the staff and the program is what CrossFit is all about. If you want a community of inspiring and supportive people, look no further.

Fantastic experience: I have been at the Atascadero CrossFit gym for a year and a half now and it is by far one of the most encouraging and friendly gym environment I have ever been to. I have yet to meet a coach or member I don’t like. The owner really cares about making this gym environment a family and that’s exactly what it is!

Fantastic experience: I just love Atascadero CrossFit! I’m 58 years old, and joined 8 months ago for the 6 week challenge to lose the “spare tire” around my waist. I lost 10 pounds and dropped 6% body fat (spare tire gone!), but the real benefit has been that I feel GREAT! I’m hooked! The scaled program fits any fitness level. I started out at the first and second level (white and yellow level), and I’m now a solid Level 4! (Blue level!) And the coaches! Wow! They are so thoughtful and knowledgeable about how to do a movement correctly so that you don’t hurt yourself. I haven’t had an injury YET! (Knock on wood). And the CrossFit community is second to NONE! Love my CrossFit peeps! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Atascadero CrossFit is a wonderful box. Mike Turnquist, the owner, really cares about each and every athlete that joins. All of the coaches are phenomenal and also care about each and every athlete at the gym. They teach you the correct movements for all workouts, motivate you along the way and really help you produce results whatever your goals are. The environment is so supportive and fun you almost forget you are doing CrossFit. There is never a dull moment with the workouts and environment. I highly recommend joining Atascadero CrossFit no matter what level you are. I absolutely love this place!

Fantastic experience: I joined ACF 9 months ago after having my 2nd kid. ACF helped me get back into working out in a safe and encouraging environment and helped get my nutrition back on track. The coaches are the best there is and all the members are supportive and fun to workout with. Come to ACF if you want to get results and hangout with the coolest community!!

Fantastic experience: What can I not say about how truly incredibly amazing ACF is! The coaches are all so supportive and the community as well. I’ve been with ACF since November of 2023. My fitness experience prior was very unstructured and I was not seeing any results. In the few months I’ve attended and the modifications for anyone to participate, I’m seeing results not just physically but mentally. I can’t imagine how I’ll feel 1+ year into it! Thank you so much ACF.

Fantastic experience: I joined ACF to reignite my passion for fitness and found so much more. This community is so welcoming and motivating, they really have become more like chosen family. The coaches are so knowledgeable and helpful. I love that the level method enables each member to modify the workouts to their individual skill level while still encouraging them to make continuous improvements over time. I whole-heartedly recommend this gym to anyone looking to make a positive and lasting change.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined Atascadero CrossFit almost two years ago. We love the supportive community that Atascadero CrossFit is! All the coaches are so knowledgeable and helpful! If you are looking to improve your health and up your fitness game this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: AH-MAZING Gym! If you told me last year I’d be doing CrossFit this year, I would have laughed. I had NO idea how fun, and well planned this gym is. All coaches are so educated and amazing - the owner’s energy and positivity echoes throughout the gym. The people are fantastic and it WORKS!! The vibe is palpable and it’s just the beginning of this journey. I would recommend this gym to anyone at any level of fitness!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for over a year. I am amazed with how fit I am right now. I am an ex athlete and I was just looking for a way to get in better shape then I was. I ended up losing 30 lbs and now I am 48 being close to the shape that I was when I was 20. For about 3 years I tried orange theory and never got into shape. It only took me 6 months to get in better shape then I was hoping for. The best part is that it feels more like a social hangout then it does a workout. I now go to the gym 6 days a week because it is only an hour a day and it is my daily routine.

Fantastic experience: Great community, great workouts. Best Crossfit in the area!

Fantastic experience: As a busy mom of 3 kids who is also a teacher and business owner I really needed some encouragement and support to help get myself in a healthier place. That is exactly what I found at Atascadero CrossFit. The staff, coaches and leveled program made becoming physically healthier and stronger easy to access. Now it’s easy to say yes to a workout even when I have a busy schedule!

Fantastic experience: Atascadero Crossfit is such an amazing place. I’ve been going there for 3 months and they have truly helped me reach my goals and have helped me feel comfortable with myself. Not only do they help you achieve your goals but they are such an amazing group of people and a great community! They will push you and support you through everything! Thank you ACF for everything you have done and for the time you put into everything and everyone!!

Fantastic experience: I joined ACF last September to jumpstart my training for the upcoming Spartan race. I was going to join for a few months and reevaluate where my fitness levels was at the end of the race. I’m 4 months post race and can’t imagine stopping! I’ve achieved levels of fitness that I couldn’t have ever imagined. The trainers and owners are incredible. I’ve never been to a gym like this before. They offer incredible training opportunities and fun social events. ACF is like a family!

Fantastic experience: I joined ACF in September of 2023 and since then have crushed every single goal I have set for myself. Between the enthusiastic members and attentive coaches, the accountability bar is set at a very high level. I do 6 workouts every week at ACF and each workout is unique and programmed very well. I have been to crossfit gyms all over the world and have experienced some very good training. However, ACF puts the others at or below average. If you are ready to take your fitness to levels you never felt were possible, hop on over to ACF and let your fitness journey really start.

Fantastic experience: Atascadero CrossFit is an incredible gym with so much to offer! First off, let's talk about the coaches. They're not just good; they're outstanding and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, they'll guide you every step of the way, ensuring you're not only doing the exercises right but also pushing yourself to new limits. And the community? It's like one big family. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with open arms. Everyone is so supportive and welcoming, cheering each other on through every workout and celebrating victories, big or small. One of the best things about CrossFit programming is that you never have to worry about what you're going to do. The workouts are varied, challenging, and always keep you on your toes. Plus, with the Level Method System in place, they tailor the workouts to meet you right where you are in your fitness journey. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, they'll modify any workout to accommodate your needs and capabilities. So, if you're looking for a gym where you'll not only get an amazing workout but also be part of an incredible community, Atascadero CrossFit is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I visited many local gyms before ultimately landing at Atascadero CrossFit as a L2 coach. It is perfectly organized and the staff are incredibly well educated. I am so happy to be a part of this team.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit in December of 2022. I was at a point where I wanted to do something for ME. I was not happy with my overall health and fitness. I saw an ad on Face Book and decided to meet with Mike Turnquist. After signing up for the 6-week challenge, I decided to stick it out. I signed up for a year after that. Being at the gym has been so much fun. Who Knew? I've met a lot of great people who are friendly and cheer me on every step of the way. It doesn't matter what fitness level you are at, everyone is very supportive and willing to help you achieve your goal along your CrossFit journey. I am surprised at how well I have done in the year that I have been attending. I have exceeded my expectations. I have come to know and love the coaches: Jana Cancel, Cheyenne Ladd, Traci McMahan, Beau, Michael Brooks and occasionally Mike Turnquist. I am just loving every minute of it. Having back problems, the coaches have been so wonderful showing me modifications. This has definitely helped me along the way. Everyone is so friendly it feels like family. I love meeting all the different people and having fun while working on my fitness goals, alongside them. The Intramural open and The Murph challenge are so amazingly fun. You'll have to come take a look for yourself. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Mike Turnquist, for creating an awesome CrossFit gym . I wish I would’ve started sooner ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with amazing coaches and members. My wife and I joined for the 6 week challenge and surpassed our goals in both strength and fat loss. The program is balanced with nutrition, workouts, and supportive coaches who hold you accountable. Wasn’t sure if CrossFit was for us, but now it is often the best part of our day!

Fantastic experience: Being a member at Atascadero Crossfit has changed my life in so many positive ways. I’ve gained confidence not just in my physical abilities but, mental strength as well. I truly believe that CrossFit is for all athletic levels and can benefit anyone who gives it a chance. The support of the coaches is unlike any other gym you will find!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit for 5 years. This past year I joined ACF. For the first time in 5 years I have truly seen a change in my body and performance. They work with everyone at their own level and add in nutrition counseling which I have found to be key in my journey. The coaches all go above and beyond and really create a home and family feel in every class. It’s my favorite part of the day and I love how tailored everything is to every member.

Fantastic experience: It is hard to try something new at 47 years old but I am sure glad I did! I have worked out most of my life in some way, however, I have never felt as strong as I do at ACF! The coaches and owners are honestly there for every single person, no matter the skill level. Everyone is so helpful, welcoming, and supportive. Give it a try...you never know how capable you really are until you take the chance! I am editing this review to add that I just finished my first CrossFit open with ACF, and it was one of the most well ran events that I have been a part of, and the energy was unmatched!!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I am a 50 year old woman & I joined ACF 4 months ago. I absolutely love their programming. It doesn’t matter what level you are because they have it already mapped out for you to succeed and grow as a CrossFit athlete. The community is so supportive. They provide very knowledgeable coaches & I’ve learned so much! I would highly recommend joining Atascadero CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: You will not regret dropping in or signing up for ACF! It is truly one of the greatest CrossFit gyms on the central coast. The coaches, programming, equipment, and community are THE BEST. I am so happy to be a part of its community for the last 1.5 years.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at ACF since fall of 2022 and I can’t see myself anywhere else! One thing I love most is the community that has been made by each individual is felt every time you walk through the door! You meet people of all walks of life just trying to improve one day at a time. It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey what matters is that you made it through those doors! Our coaches are some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated I’ve ever encountered at any CF. They truly make each class such a great experience with the energy they bring! If you have ever thought about trying CrossFit this is the place you need to check out!

Fantastic experience: I returned to Crossfit a year ago, Since joining up I've taken many morning classes with Mike, Jana, Brooks and the other wonderful coaches at ACF. I've gained Muscle, learned better eating habits, and lost thirty two pounds.

Fantastic experience: Great place I found while visiting in Moro Bay , very friendly staff and members ! Gym was very nice lots of space and workouts and coaching were excellent! Highly recommend if you are looking to drop in for a good workout

Fantastic experience: Been doing CrossFit for about 8 years now here at ACF. Completely changed my life. Love this place.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, equipment, programming and people. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great box to drop in on. Had a great time, thanks for having me!

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym with the best coaches!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to experience.

Fantastic experience: What can I say that hasn’t already been said by many others. I joined ACF about 7 months ago and I ABSOLUTLY love it. I love that every day is a different workout that allows me to push myself harder and hold myself accountable. The coaches are so encouraging and go over each workout thoroughly. I love that everyone is so friendly and inspires one another.

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would be into CrossFit because cardio has always been my enemy, but ACF has truly made it something I look forward to! I love to start my day with a workout. The community I’ve found in them is something very special. I only have wonderful things to say about them. They challenge me every workout and I have grown in every facet since joining!

Fantastic experience: I've only done one class so far and it was great. Very clean facility and instructor was good. I'm visiting from out of town and it is a great place to get a workout in! I bought the weekly pass and am planning to go for the rest of the week. It is a safe bet you will leave feeling like it was a great start to the day!

Fantastic experience: Mike Turnquist is an excellent coach to work with. He always pushes me to exceed my goals and build my confidence while making sure I am being safe by helping me with form. He also brings a very positive, silly, and fun energy to the class which helps us stay motivated all with a smile on our faces. 10/10 recommend. :)

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about this gym. They have wonderful dedicated coaches who help you progress & reach your goals. And an incredible community who encourage & lift you up. Every day you get to come hang out with friends & get a great work out in. You always leave feeling amazing.

Fantastic experience: I joined ACF as an avid runner wanting to add muscle and increase my speed what I have gotten out of it is so much more. Not only have I put on a significant amount of lean muscle mass, and decreased my body fat percentage in a very short time all while improving my running pace and stamina but more importantly I gained a village. The support from the trainers and members is such a vital component for success and they are doing it right at ACF. I can not wait for the continued gains not just physically but also mentally. Well done ACF I am here for it!

Fantastic experience: I started with the 6 week challenge and just fell in love!! I lost 4% body fat, gained 4% muscle mass and gained a new family!! Atascadero Crossfit is the best!!

Fantastic experience: All around an amazing place. I saw this place advertising a six week weight loss program, so I went in to see what it was about. I am glad I went. The owner and the coaches are all very patient and supportive, and the people in the classes are great and kept me going. I am coming up on the six week program and have lost almost 15 pounds. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it. Thank you for the help, the support and keeping me accountable.

Fantastic experience: Atascadero CrossFit has given me the tools and the community to get back to where I needed to be. I lost a little over 40 lbs in the year since I started. I feel better than I have since I was 20. I am now 47 and in the best shape of my adult life.

Fantastic experience: For the first time in my life, I actually like working out! This is a great gym with a positive, supportive vibe and awesome coaches and members. If you show up and do the workouts, you WILL get results!

Fantastic experience: I was new to CrossFit and this gym has been amazing. The coaches are friendly and push you to improve. I’ve enjoyed the variety of movements and it’s something I look forward going to!

Fantastic experience: My FAVORITE place to be hands down. If you’re looking for quality friends that challenge you to grow and be your best self, then you will definitely find it at ACF. The workouts are just as great as the people!

Fantastic experience: Michael Brooks is an amazing coach. He helps you fine turn each movement to ensure you are doing it correctly. He is helpful explaining why the movement works and what muscle groups are being worked. An all star coach!

Fantastic experience: They are doing a great job of making me feel welcome, and challenging me to do some types of workouts that I have not done in the past (and I have the aches to go along with that!) I have not historically been a group fitness kind of guy, but they have some tech that helps make scheduling straightforward, and the levels system lets us all work at a pace that is challenging, but not discouraging. I am enjoying adding Crossfit to my fitness/health mix! Really good for my mental health and mood.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the 6 week Challenge, and so happy I did. I was in need of accountability to stick with my commitment to be consistent with eating healthy. This was not a “diet”, it is a lifestyle change. Mike and Jana were definitely the help I needed. The program was clear and easy to follow. I was eating more food than I normally did and was able to attain my goal within the 6 weeks. I highly recommend this program for anyone that wants to make a healthy lifestyle change!! Thank you Atascadero CrossFit! And Mike & Jana!!

Fantastic experience: Did the 6-week challenge to lose body fat and gain muscle. Had an AMAZING experience. I was totally new to CrossFit and everyone was so welcoming and helpful. The level method ensures that you get an amazing workout, no matter your fitness level. The nutrition part of the program was easy & straightforward (no measuring everything on a scale which I loved). At the end of the six weeks, I was down 5% body fat & (even better) had gained 3 lbs of muscle. Felt lean and strong, better sleep, increased mobility, and so much more. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for a holistic program with accountability & measurable progress.

Fantastic experience: I was terribly out of shape when I joined Atascadero CrossFit but I felt welcomed from the beginning. Everyone at this gym is very encouraging and non-judgemental. It is wonderful to see all ages working out together and i like that there is no pressure to compete with anyone but oneself. Another plus is the level method which keeps the exercises challenging and interesting. I highly recommend this gym. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: This is the best CrossFit gym ever! Super welcoming, very professional, extremely good coaching and the best part is the members are all super cool, helpful and supportive. Highly recommend trying CrossFit in you've never done it. Don't be intimidated there are scaled workouts for all fitness levels from beginner to expert. I have been a member for over 2 years now and have never felt better and never looked better! #atascaderocrossfit #tacoafterparty

Fantastic experience: After 12 years of injury and being bedridden the doctors told me my physical life was over. I drove by CrossFit daily for over a year and was too scared to go check it out. One day obviously my brain wasn't working correctly and I stopped by and signed up. I'll tell you what, it's the best decision I ever made, the six week challenge changed my life. It gave me a whole new outlook on life and my future. The coaches and the people that go were welcoming knowledgeable and amazing. I am 47 years old and I am already in better shape than I have been in the last 20 years. If you're scared or apprehensive about checking this out I understand that, but don't be, it's amazing and they will work with you at the level you are on and you will make progress in ways you never thought possible. Thank you ACF ! I look forward to the future and the progress I will make because I joined, love you guys.

Fantastic experience: Mike is a wonderful person, I’ve been working out at his gyms for almost 8 years. Stick with the programs he offers and you’ll be successful with achieving any goals you set for yourself…big or small.

Fantastic experience: I did the 6 week challenge program before my trip to Europe!! Staffs were super friendly and attentive. Jana Cancel was my coach - she was the best 1st time attending to CrossFit class - the exercises was set up in a comprehensive way to follow…and yes - I was challenged:)

Fantastic experience: I had never been to a gym like CrossFit before and was a little intimidated, but I found out right away there was no need to be. The coaches and other members make everyone feel so welcome, everyone cheers each other on to reach their own personal goals no matter what level they are at. The coaches are very knowledgeable, teach proper techniques, and support every member to help them succeed. I’m so glad I found my CrossFit family at ACF!

Fantastic experience: If you aren't familiar with Atascadero Crossfit, you need to be! I joined 6 months ago, and attending the workouts has become THE BEST part of my day! Unlike any other exercise experience I've had (hardcore Jazzerciser here, lol), ACF feels like a true community. The support and camaraderie is amazing! The coaches are encouraging, knowledgeable and keep you on track. Owner Mike Turnquist is running a gym that everyone should check out. Thank you ACF for giving me back my desire to put myself first. ACF is addicting in the best way possible!

Fantastic experience: I hit a slump in my weight-loss journey about a month ago. I kept seeing ads for a 6 week challenge. I decided to check out what it offered and really see what CrossFit was about. From the initial meeting with Mike I was very optimistic about reaching my fitness/health goals. Mike made me feel comfortable, confident, and excited to see my results. I signed up. The best part of this 6 week challenge is they do everything for you, just follow the guidelines, show up to the workouts, and follow the meal plan and it's a no-brainer! My first class was scary at first. Everyone was welcoming and encouraging. Since joining 8 days ago I have lost 7.5 pounds and feel great! If you are looking for a community of people supporting and encouraging you then stop in and sign up. It is the best decision I have made! Can't wait to see my end results.

Fantastic experience: Atascadero CrossFit is beyond amazing. I've been going for about 2 months now and am in love. The people and coaches are so kind and encouraging, the workouts are challenging but explained extremely well, and they offer class times at good times throughout the day. I did the 6 week fitness challenge and reached my goal weight while also getting strong in the process. I've always had a hard time with self motivation but the classes become like mini families. If I miss a day, I get asked where I was and encouraged to keep up on my fitness journey. Atascadero CrossFit is worth the money and investment in yourself!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this amazing place. And it’s not just a place, it’s a community. The most supportive, fun, energetic, loving community I have ever been apart of. The coaches, Mike, Jana, Michael, and Cheyenne are the best coaches one could ask for. I have always had a hard time with my fitness journey but they have made it so fun and easy and I am reaching my goals for the first time ever in my journey. I am so happy I found this community because I have been changed for the better and have made the most amazing friends. Highly recommend you come and hangout with us and start reaching your fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: So far I love the workouts. Mike and and whole ACF team has been so welcoming and encouraging. My Coach Jana is great, she is attentive and inspiring. I can’t wait to see the results after my 6 week challenge. I plan to be a part of the ACF family for much longer than 6 weeks though. I love it here.

Fantastic experience: Just joined Atascadero CrossFit a week ago. I love the small group classes and the community culture is positive & supportive. The classes accommodate beginner to advanced members with no intimidation. Again, everyone is super friendly. The coaches are helpful and approachable. If they see I’m struggling, they’re quick to intercede so that I succeed. I’m kicking my membership off with their 6 week challenge which includes nutrition and accountability. The plan is easy to follow and when you’re eating right, you never feel hungry. The goals are individualized and realistic. I already love it here at ACF.

Fantastic experience: The Atascadero CrossFit six week challenge was exactly what I needed to kick me into gear towards my health and fitness goals. I love the coaches and the community I get to workout with everyday. You’ve got to put in the work, but you’ll definitely see results! My six week challenge turned into a one year membership with no plans to stop!

Fantastic experience: ACF is my first experience with any kind of CrossFit. While I've done the gym and other self-guided fitness as well as classes like Orange Theory, I had always had an impression about CrossFit that it was both cultish and likely too advanced for my currently level of fitness. Atascadero CrossFit immediately proved all of my assumptions about CrossFit wrong and has since provided one of the most rewarding fitness experiences I've ever had. I began with the 6-week challenge. Guided by Coach Mike and the ACF staff, that process made a tremendous impact on my exercise routine and, just as important, my diet. They are available, present and always willing to work with you every step of the way. I travel a significant amount for work but my nutrition coach Jana was responsive on the app and it actually changed the way I will travel from work moving forward. Post 6-week challenge, I've stuck with the diet and the fitness routine at the gym. As I previously mentioned, I had always been intimidated by CrossFit but this gym has proven me wrong. The entire coaching staff are extremely friendly and personable. They go out of their way to get to know everyone. The clientele are all wonderful people. Everyone is encouraging and span all levels of skill and experience so you never feel out-classed or alone in your workouts. And the "Level Method" provides exercises that make sense and that you can actually do. From a day 1 beginner to a seasoned CrossFit enthusiast, they're challenging but within your limit. So TL;DR- Atascadero CrossFit are great people, an even better workout and programs that can change your life. DO IT!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for almost two years. I thoroughly enjoy the workouts- which can be tailored for “newbies” and seniors ( I am 73). Its about longevity for me. The coaches are attentive and well trained, and the participants friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym I recently moved to the area & have been looking for a new CF gym to attend. I haven’t worked out for about 5 months so I was a little nervous getting back into it. I decided to try out this gym & had a wonderful experience on my first day & signed up! Coaches are helpful and genuinely care about your fitness goals. Atmosphere is also 10/10 everyone was kind & helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about joining CF for the first time or if they are looking for a new CF home :)

Fantastic experience: I love this gym!!! I initially joined to kickstart myself back in a more active lifestyle. I don’t plan on leaving ever! The coaches are amazing!! I’ve never lifted weights in my life. I didn’t know the difference between a dumbbell or barbell before I joined. I was nervous about not recognizing a single term in the workouts. I’ve learned so much. The coaches are thorough, explain everything, and make sure even the most inexperienced people feel awesome! I can’t say enough about how happy I am doing CrossFit with ACF.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t say enough positive things about this gym. I joined knowing absolutely nothing about fitness, weightlifting and nutrition. Since joining I have lost over 20lbs, gained muscle mass, made so many amazing friends, and transformed my health and eating habits. The coaches Mike Turnquist, Jana Cancel and Michael Brooks and Cheyenne go above and beyond to help make sure you have accurate form and encourage you during every workout! I couldn’t thank these coaches enough for helping me achieve my goals!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Awesome coaches that keep you motives and achieve your goals. They want to see you succeed and go beyond what you think you’re capable of. If possible I would give them 10/5 star review but only limited to 5 on here!

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym I have ever been to. The coaches are awesome. The owner, Mike Turnquist, has created a very inviting atmosphere which makes it fun for all. I have experienced strong fitness results in a short period of time. They specialize in tailoring the daily workouts to people of all fitness levels, so you are motivated from day 1. If you want to get in great shape and have fun in the process, join now!

Fantastic experience: I did the six week challenge and it was absolutely amazing! The trainers are kind, helpful, and have taught me so much about weightlifting. I feel stronger inside and out and I’ve made some really great relationships while going here. The relationships with the trainers and other members has kept me accountable and consistent. I am continuing my membership and I’m so excited to see more progress! 100% recommend going here if you’re just starting your fitness journey or if you’re looking for a new fitness challenge!
