CrossFit^® Ballwin

Fantastic experience: Cross Fit Ballwin is great for anyone no matter your fitness or experience level. Workouts are personalized based on ability, and the coaches are great assisting the newbies. I appreciate the emphasis on form and the friendly environment. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their health and longevity.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are great and knowledgeable. I am having a wonderful experience learning about the right forms of workout as well as to continue to push myself :) i highly recommend CrossFit Ballwin!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to CrossFit Ballwin for a few months. This community is fun, supportive and has challenged me! Truly a great gym!

Fantastic experience: I found this gym on Google doing a search not even knowing what I wanted to find. I set up a first time meeting with the owner to assess where I was in my fitness goals. She assured me that even though I was absolutely a beginner at working out, they would help me get where I want to be. I’m now two months into it and they definitely delivered on that promise. I’ve learned so much so far. They have taken so much time to explain things and train me in a way I never feel stupid or insecure about. With absolutely no experience with CrossFit and completely out of shape, I’m already seeing results and feeling excited to learn more! Trust me, they really do mean it when they say anyone can find their place here. Give it a try! You’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, community, and athletes. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Fantastic experience: The members and coaches have been very supportive as I start my CrossFit journey! I am new to this type of workout and the coaches have been very helpful in explaining the process, the exercises and in modifying when needed.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with CrossFit Ballwin for a little over a month now. They have great coaches and they challenge you. I’m loving having accountability and being involved in a gym community again. I was skeptical because I’m a grad student on a super tight budget and it was quite an a commitment&investment for me. But I feel so much better and it’s been worth it because of the diverse class times they offer! Working out can be such an obligation and a chore when it’s not really fun, but they make it fun!

Fantastic experience: Coaches care about your progression and help throughout each WOD, (and even send encouraging texts outside of class). Members are super welcoming too and cheer each other on. I was intimidated by Crossfit and nervous to join, but found that anyone of any fitness level is welcome here; they can make any exercise work for you.

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym in West County. I am a newbie to CrossFit. I worked out at other gyms with plenty of cardio and running but never focused on strength training. This has been a game changer. The coaches are very supportive and informative and really focus on technique to avoid injury. Love this journey I am on with CrossFit Ballwin!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful veteran and woman owned gym. I love this place! Relaxed environment, knowledgeable coaches and community oriented. I appreciate a gym where you can be challenged without feeling like you are in competition. My physical fitness journey is on the road to improvement. CrossFit Ballwin is a place where you can grow and be supported by a strong community of like- minded people.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Ballwin is the best place to train in West County regardless of your fitness journey. It doesn't matter if you’re a novice, experienced, or a weekend Warrior. The attention to detail from the coaches is unmatched. They promote safety first in weightlifting and provide good feedback for us to execute the moves. I’ve trained here for more than seven years and I continue to evolve and achieve my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches and a great community. I’m very new to working out, and they have been so patient and encouraging while teaching me. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I’m nine weeks in and wish I would have started sooner. First, I appreciated that it wasn’t about making my life all about CrossFit, but rather introducing CrossFit workouts into my already busy life. There wasn’t anything intimidating about joining and the 5am classes fit nicely into my schedule. Second, when my body was tired and sore (because I was so out of shape) the coach’s main priority was my recovery. They encouraged me to slow down and workout smart. Lastly, I left today’s CrossFit open workout feeling part of a team. Everyone was competing against themselves, encouraging others, and celebrated the workout completion together afterwards. Happy to show up three times a week!

Fantastic experience: At first I was very intimidated of joining a CrossFit gym, but I joined CrossFit Ballwin and was shocked by the welcome I received. My first class started with a break down of the workout, demonstration of complex movements such as Olympic lifts, and personal coaching to improve technique that would overall decrease injury while increasing output. The workout ended with multiple members of the community helping pick up my weights, congratulating me for giving the workout my all, and chatting with me like we had been friends for the past 5 years even though I had just met them. The community at CFB is the key to helping me stay consistent. I have never felt better and I have new friends that I would’ve never met without CFB. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to find consistency and results!

Fantastic experience: This gym has a special place in my heart. I’ve belonged to a few other CrossFit Boxes but nothing made me feel more at home than CFB. The members are fun and welcoming and the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. You build personal relationships with both the members and coaches while getting 1 on 1 support from their team. Truly the best community to be a part of. Going to CFB and working out is the highlight of my day.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Ballwin has such a great community! Everyone is so friendly and the coaches are great. I’ve been a member since November 2021 and am happy to have CFB as my home gym. The workouts are challenging, the coaches are knowledgeable, and the members are energetic and respectful. I can modify the movements when I need to. In the last 2 years I have seen progress in all of my movements and overall health. Such a great decision to join this gym!!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, love the classes and sizes of the classes. Everyone is so willing to help

Fantastic experience: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, my only regret is not joining sooner. This is more than a gym. It’s a community of amazing people where coaches and members care for each other and motivate you to be a better person, a better athlete. This is truly a no judging zone where you feel every accomplishment is celebrated by all.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional! I love the community here. I was nervous at first, but found CrossFit to be extremely approachable in this setting. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Ballwin is an amazing gym with coaches and owners who are kind and CARE about their members! They are always willing to explain a movement or exercise again and have always been willing to help me find an alternative way to do something if I need to! Ive been to many CrossFit gyms but this is by far my favorite! They have build a great community of people who make everyone feel welcome and at ease, you can tell it’s more than a business to them and you’re more than just a member. I hadn’t been in a while and recently received an email asking to meet up for coffee with one of the owners ( Ninette ) which I thought was so kind!! I took her up on it and hearing all the new things they have planned for the gym got started back up! If you’re considering a gym in this area give them a try, you will not regret it!!

Fantastic experience: The community that CrossFit Ballwin has built over the years is like no other. The coaches are the best, always watching and offering minor adjustments to my lifting technique, or lack there of haha . I’ve felt like family since the day I walked in the door back in 2019. I’ve never felt out of place, out of my league or uncomfortable with the members and the coaching staff. It’s been my happy place for the last 5 years. I just completed the FACT Challenge and I must say, it was an amazing 6 weeks experience. It was motivating, inspiring and challenging in a good way. I’ve tried other gyms over the years, but CrossFit Ballwin is hands down the best, most inclusive gym I’ve ever been associated with.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at CrossFit Ballwin for over 4 years. My body has never felt better both physically and emotionally. Without the knowledgeable and caring coaches, I would not have been able to successfully workout through two entire pregnancies (38 weeks and 39 weeks). I’m held accountable by the friends I’ve made there and the coaches. CrossFit is for any skill level, all you need to do is listen to your body!

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Ballwin when I moved to the area about six years ago. I was impressed with the coaching and loved the community. Over the years I have made many friends as well as maintained my mental health while improving my fitness. This is a great gym!

Fantastic experience: CFB is a wonderful crossfit gym, the community is outstanding! I enjoy that the workouts can be modified for every fitness level from beginners to advanced. It is truly a gym for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Ballwin is the place for me - I've found my community! Not only do the workouts challenge me, but the coaches help & encourage me. I was really nervous when I first started Crossfit, but the environment at Crossfit Ballwin has helped me feel welcomed and safe to give it my all. This is the best gym in West County - if you’re looking, look no further

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Ballwin has been an amazing addition to my healthy life style. I had lower back problems 10 years ago and was going to the chiropractor regularly to keep the pain away. I ask the doctor how do I get away from seeing him all the time. He told me get stronger. I took his advice and joined CrossFit Ballwin. I’m up to four times a week and in the best shape of my life thanks to the great coaches and supportive community of CFB.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of CrossFit Ballwin for 7 years and I’m in the best shape of my life. When I started CrossFit I was a little older than most and had never stuck with any other fitness program. The coaches are so supportive and encouraging that kept me coming back. Everything is scalable, you work to your own abilities. The owners (past and present) have created a welcoming space for all, it’s a great community.

Negative experience: Here's a long one. I held off writing this review out of respect, but the amount of disrespect I received recently was just too much to not write this. I was a member of CFB for two years, my husband four. When I started I immediately realized that the (then) owner was a bully to his members. He pushed people too hard and encouraged people to do painful things in their workouts stating that you can't get stronger otherwise. He made fun of people's cultural differences and made disrespectful remarks toward women. I chose to keep going, thinking the workouts were good for me. I enjoyed working with some of the coaches and other members but always felt unwelcome, as I was never included on their "anniversary board", even though my husband was. The (now) owner, the original owner's wife was always very friendly to my husband and less so with me. I attributed this to my having called out her husband for his unprofessional behavior early on. My husband is too non-confrontational to have said anything, but we've had many conversations about how we both felt that things weren't right. Now with multiple double shoulder injuries and many slipped discs between the two of us, we have both been told by physical therapists and orthopedists that CrossFit was the worst thing we could have done to our bodies. Fair enough - not a good reason to write a bad review seeing as we chose to do it. We stopped going once we realized this. But - going back to the friendliness of the (now) owner, my husband had been receiving multiple emails from her stating that she missed seeing his (and only his, not mine) face in the gym, each of which he's chosen not to respond to. The most recent one, however, was an offer to meet up and buy my husband a drink, which was very obviously a blatant attempt at a date. After I confronted her about this, she attempted to cover her tracks by trying to gaslight me into thinking that the email was supposed to have gone to all of their former members and that it was a mistake that I was not included in it. I guess this woman thinks I am an idiot for not believing that she meant to send a message requesting to buy each and every one of her former members a drink, individually. She even tried to send a screenshot of her messages to prove that point, which incidentally clearly proved that those messages went only to my husband. Not sure what kind of weird relationship she and her bully husband have, but my husband and I want nothing to do with it. We are done with CFB forever and always. Do yourself a favor and choose a different method of working out, especially a different facility.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Ballwin has been an incredible fitness journey for me. The gym fosters a supportive and encouraging environment, making it perfect for beginners. The workouts are dynamic and challenging, helping to improve strength, endurance, and overall fitness. The sense of community is fantastic, creating a positive atmosphere that motivates everyone to push their limits. The coaches are knowledgeable and provide valuable guidance, contributing to a well-rounded fitness experience. I've seen significant progress in my fitness journey since joining, and I highly recommend CrossFit Ballwin to anyone looking for a fulfilling and effective workout routine

Fantastic experience: Always showed attention to details in everything he did. If you're looking for quality customer service and having a knowledgeable professional trainer, you've come to the right place.

Fantastic experience: This gym was already amazing but has recently added more equipment and expanded the workout space and is now so much better than any of the corporate gyms. The workouts are intense but the awesome community keeps everyone motivated to keep moving and push ourselves to new limits. Everyone who works out should try crossfit.....especially if they want to feel like they actually accomplished something by going to the gym.

Fantastic experience: Really special community, you are treated like family as a member of Crossfit Ballwin. Great atmosphere and best personal training you will find at any crossfit gym!

Fantastic experience: I have joined so many gyms and tried working with so many different trainers but Trent and Crossfit Ballwin are by far my favorite! The idea of Crossfit had always intrigued me but I thought that I would never be able to do it since I was overwieght. I decided to suck it up and try a one-on-one class. I was so nervous, I thought I was going to throw up before walking into the gym. After a few minutes of talking with Trent (who is the head coach and owner), we got to work. Trent put me through a typical workout but also scaled it back to my ability. He focused on form and technique but definitely challenged me. That first workout was almost 3 months ago....and I keep going back for more! This gym has become like a second family to me. The workouts are challenging but can be done at any fitness level. The people at the gym are so supportive and accepting. I used to dread working out and going to the gym but since finding Crossfit Ballwin, my mentality has changed! I think I'm addicted! The idea of Crossfit can be very intimidating and walking into other Crossfit gyms, you may still feel that way; however I cannot stress enough how that is NOT the case here. There are people of all fitness levels at this location but we all work together and push each other to do our best. Give Crossfit Ballwin a shot and I promise you'll be hooked too!

Fantastic experience: If you have been interested in Crossfit, this is the place to go. It is a smaller location with hands on attention. I was very nervous to go to my first class, and found a wonderful trainer in Trent. CrossFit Ballwin is highly recommended by me.

Fantastic experience: I was planning to try out a few places before joining CrossFit Ballwin with Trent. However when you walk into the box and get a REAL COACH, someone who cares about your health and safety....its easy to see why the gym continues to grow. The family and non judgmental atmosphere is perfect for anyone at any level of fitness....young or old...in shape or out of shape....looking to compete or just increase your quality of life.....and athlete or non athlete. I continue to travel for work to other states and other CrossFit gyms and see the boxes with coaches who are only in it to make money...without doing any coaching and pinpointing problem areas in mobility and technique. Trent does it all here. As the saying goes, "You are never a real success in life unless you help others become successful", and you will find only that here.

Fantastic experience: The members and the staff have become my friends and my family. CrossFit Ballwin is like no other workout facility that I have ever been to, it is without pretension and judgement. Everyone there wants to see everyone else succeed!!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars all the way.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Everyone is so welcoming and the trainers genuinely want you to succeed. Great coaches, classes, and community feel!

Fantastic experience: There are so many things to love about CrossFit Ballwin, but the thing I love most is that it is so inclusive and thoughtful. They will push you to be better both physically and mentally. I've never felt uncomfortable being there as a girl, unlike other gyms I've been a member of. You won't get bored here!

Fantastic experience: I love the convenience of the location. It's always so clean in there. The members you see at regular times and get to know. It's never so crowded.

Fantastic experience: Lots of new and varied equipment in the weight room. Free Weights, selectorized machines, functional training equipment, plate loaded machines, plenty of cables and more.

Fantastic experience: Amazing supportive atmosphere! The coaches take the time to learn everyone and what they need to work on and how to safely push you to be a better athlete

Fantastic experience: I used to have back problems before I joined almost 8 years ago and developing core strength from the various crossfit movements has made all the difference. Crossfit Ballwin is a great community that encourages and motivates its members to grow in fitness and confidence. The owners Trent and Ninette are wonderful!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a safe and supportive environment in which to get healthy or stay healthy, mentally and physically, this is a perfect choice. I heartily recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Very neat and clean with a large variety of equipment. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: For my truck drivers there is a big open lot to park across the street so you can get a quick work out in staff is great facility is very clean also great showers

Fantastic experience: Great customer service. Clean and never crowded. Temperature is nice and cool so workouts are comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I was 40, with zero experience, when I walked in CrossFit Ballwin for the first time. The qualified coaches I’ve had helped me to adapt to the workout. Six years later I’m stronger and healthier, physically and mentally.Friendly and supportive community. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: The coaching is sub par. If you are an experienced CrossFitter you may survive at this gym, but don’t expect to be in a competitive environment. This is not a place for beginners. The majority of the coaches are inexperienced and do not properly assist new members regarding modifications and proper form. The warmups are the same everyday and do not adequately prepare you for the workout. Not all of the coaches are bad, but I was less than impressed.

Fantastic experience: In town for a month. Great atmosphere, fun people and great trainers. The trainer spend a lot of time with you to make you you are doing all the move correctly!!! Highly recommend Crossfit Ballwin!!!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! I dropped in for a few days and everyone was friendly and supportive. I will drop-in to this location the next time I am in town.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Very neat and clean with a large variety of equipment. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the new manager.

Fantastic experience: If you want to get absolutely awesome CrossFit workout and have fun at the same time then this is the place to go. From the moment you walk in,everyone will make you feel great. Best part about this place is that every trainer there knows what they are doing and they will make sure before every exercise,you will learn the technique first so you can get the best out of every exercise and workout,not injure yourself. I got really hooked after Trent really helped me with my technique and taught me so much how to execute every exercise properly to get most out of it. Even during class Trent is making sure that everyone there is doing everything as the should and correcting us. Being there for about almost 2 moths I have progressed so much. Bottom line this place is awesome and you will get the results you want and get hooked on CrossFit just like I did. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Best of the bunch! Tried other gyms and boot camp classes before choosing to join here. I'm a triathlete who requires rigorous, intense workouts. I have that at home in Frisco TX. Now, I have that when I'm in the Ballwin area for work. I really like the focus on proper form and the ridiculous moves, some of which my body cannot do...yet! Been a member for a few months. My flexibility and form have improved. Makes me smile to be challenged in areas I'm not good at.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! I dropped in for a few days and everyone was friendly and supportive. I will drop-in to this location the next time I am in town.

Fantastic experience: I love going to Crossfit Ballwin. The work outs are always different, fun, and challenging. Doing Crossfit has improved all aspects of my life. I am losing fat and gaining muscle. I’m pushing myself further than I think I can and building mental toughness. This all translate to me being more present at home and pushing harder at work. The community is great too. Everyone is so nice and cheers each other on. The coaches are sticklers for proper form but still help push you to try harder than you think you can. Holidays are my favorite, Trent and Ninette always make the most creative holiday WODs. For Easter we hunted for work out movements and who doesn’t love finding an egg to give another team burpees. Thanks for everything you have done for me Crossfit Ballwin!

Fantastic experience: Great crossfit gym. Trent was coaching and gave me some great feedback. They have new equipment and a fun culture. I will be back

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Ballwin offers great coaches and has a very friendly atmosphere. The equipment is very well maintained. Workouts are scaled to fit any athlete no matter what their fitness level, age or experience. The Level Method is used, ensuring success in goal setting, progress and safety. All around great gym! And… really cute shirts and merchandise in their online store!

Fantastic experience: Trent and Ninette have built an amazing atmosphere and energy here. No matter your skill set or level of experience, you are welcomed with open arms. Stop on by... you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I went in search of something different from the basic gym so that hopefully I would be more consistent. Crossfit Ballwin completely fit the bill. Coaches are top notch & willing to help answer any question. There are all walks of life & fitness levels. The coaches are fantastic at scaling each exercise to work with fitness levels or injuries. It's an encouraging environment and the people are extremely welcoming. This where you need to be if you want to challenge yourself.

Fantastic experience: I thought my first CrossFit box in Springfield, MO had spoiled me. After doing CrossFit for a couple of years, I moved from 417 to OKC in 2012. I tried every box there and could not find the right one for me; the vibe was off or the coaching was sub-par, or it was too competitive. With that, I gave up on CrossFit for 4 years while in OKC. I had a very stressful job in OKC and my physical and mental health had declined, so when I moved to STL I was determined to get back on track. I just happen to live a few miles from CFB so I thought I would give them a shot. Although my expectations were low due to recent experiences, I was more than happy with the outcome. CFB is the community I was looking for. There is something for everyone; whether you are competitive, recovering from injury/surgery, never lifted a bar in your life, getting back to it after a baby, need accountability, or just fighting the aging process. Trent is dedicated to his members and shows it with one-on-one attention and attention to the needs and goals of his members. Each coach brings a little something different with their approach and each have helped me improve a number of movements. This box is definitely worth a drop-in if you are visiting the area. If you are considering CrossFit and are unsure or feel apprehensive, just send a quick message like I did and I bet you will be just as happy!

Fantastic experience: What a great place for Crossfit! I've been to gyms all across the country and Crossfit Ballwin stacks up with all of them. Trent, Alex, Meg and the other coaches are great and really help all the athletes in every way possible.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! Trent and staff are awesome. If you want to get into shape, this is the place to go. I would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Great box to drop into. Welcoming staff. Nice workout and facilities. Will go back again if looking to drop in.

Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit Ballwin has been one of the best decisions I have made. Most of my life I have been involved in sports and as I have gotten older I found myself struggling to find an activity to keep me motivated and in shape while also providing the kind of community that you get from playing team sports. CrossFit gives me that and so much more. CrossFit Ballwin provides this environment with a supportive team based approach to fitness. Trent and his trainer's philosophy about fitness starts in the gym, but gradually seeps into other areas of your life both personally and professionally. Their genuine commitment to making people lead healthier lives is contagious and their personal instruction challenges me to push myself everyday. I’m stronger, healthier and definitely happier. I have reached goals that I never thought were possible and done workouts that I never thought I could complete. My advice for anyone who is considering CrossFit Ballwin is simple: Get in here and try it.
