Oregon CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: The coaches, programming and equipment are top notch.

Fantastic experience: The MomFit classes led by Jules McKee helped me to regain confidence in my own strength during a period of time when my body felt weak and foreign to me. Jules is an amazing, gentle, and non-judgmental coach who understands the value of baby steps (both literally and figuratively)! With her support I’ve been able to go from essentially zero conditioning and no fitness routine to working my way into the regular CrossFit classes. I highly recommend this series to any and all pregnant or new moms!

Fantastic experience: MomFit class!! If you can take it, do it!! I drove from Redmond and found it 100% worth it! I’ve had a lot of postpartum anxiety and going to a group class sounded fun but scary. I had done CrossFit historically but I gained quite a bit of weight during pregnancy and had a c-section and was afraid of being “too big” and getting embarrassed. I also feared not being able to keep up. It was the exact opposite experience! Jules is AMAZING and SO knowledgeable! There is absolutely no judgment, even being the biggest in the class. She offered modifications for every exercise before anyone had to ask, so I never felt singled out for needing to do an exercise differently. It wasn’t really even CrossFit. Everything was tailored to the post-partum journey, including guest speakers and taking extra time in between sets. The best part was taking my baby to every class. We were supported and encouraged to pause and tend to our babies needs like diaper changes and feedings, or whatever was needed. And seeing other moms and babies throughout the session is really great. It’s fun to see how fast all the littles grow in the short time you’re together. The ONLY thing I had a tough time with, not even a complaint, was the price of the classes. Not being able to utilize the facility outside of the class times for that price is a bummer. But all the benefits outweighed it, especially when they worked with me missing a few classes over the holidays. You can’t go wrong with the momfit class. It’s a great way to ease back in. If only they could do the class in Redmond!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to OC for a number of years (I’ve lost count) and here is the number one reason why… if you live in Central Oregon, chances are you participate in inherently injury prone activities (skiing, hiking, mountain biking, trail running, etc). At some point, you WILL get injured doing those things. In order to reduce the risk of injuries and improve recovery time, strength training is absolutely paramount. The coaches at OC will not only teach you the right way to lift weights but can also design customized nutrition plans. They also have an on site body scanner to help you track your progress. Yes, OC will definitely make you look better but more importantly it will allow you to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle. Bottom line, if you want to be skiing well into your 80’s and workout with people who want to do the same, start coming to OC now.

Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit here several months ago and it’s been an excellent experience. The staff here is super knowledgeable, friendly and motivating. I am in my fifties and just starting on my journey to fitness again and they have been super helpful at adapting the workouts for me while at the same time pushing me a reasonable amount to keep me heading towards my goal. There is nothing intimidating or scary about this gym… I know, because I was both of those when I walked in the door. I would encourage you to give it a shot!

Fantastic experience: Private work with Kelly I highly recommend. She knows how to program and is very personable. I went in with some significant limitations and she was patient and encouraging every session. She made modifications on the fly constantly and didn’t bat an eyelash. She remembered things about my life and made a point to ask. She worked with the recommendations from my physical therapist also. Very good experience!

Fantastic experience: Oregon Crossfit is a 10 out of 10 gym! Before OC gym I had no experience going to a gym and I was quite intimidated at the process of choosing a gym to start at. I read the reviews for OC gym saying that they put a lot of emphasis on an individuals technique, they help with personal goals, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I am happy to confirm that all of this is true! I love this gym and I'm happy to have found a place to get healthier.

Fantastic experience: Not sure how I missed this email a few weeks ago but man how time flies! No suggestions from me but I will say this has been by far and away the best gym experience i've had and it has a lot to do with the coaching staff I've had opportunities to be in class with. Their guidance is always solid and the Coaches do a great job in making sure members are supported and meet us where we are at - This is not a super easy thing to do! Going through this mending process after breaking my knee has not been as long and arduous as what I was told at first. In a significant way this has been because of the strength I've built up over the last couple years as well as knowing I would have a good gym and the healthy supports that would help me get up to speed again. I'm grateful you all are here and look forward to another great year :)

Fantastic experience: Oregon CrossFit is a fantastic gym that I feel so fortunate to have found. I found OC through a post by a fellow mama in a Bend facebook post sharing info about the Momfit cohort/program that coach Jules teaches. I was appx 4 months postpartum with my second child looking for a way to build back strength. I loved everything about Jules’ classes. I loved that I could bring my baby (or not), meet other mamas and build community, get strength guidance from a fellow mom that’s mindful of pelvic floor strength. Jules is also everything you want in a coach - approachable, kind, funny, smart, and strong. Once I finished the one round of the Momfit cohort I wanted to graduate to the general population fitness courses or “regular CrossFit”. I completed four personal training sessions with Michael to go over all the common weight lifting positions that would be covered in class. He was so incredibly patient with me, answering all my questions about proper form and my mom brain forgetting just about every rep I was on all the time. I also met Kelly (another coach) randomly at Trader Joes during all of this and through that one encounter have found another friendly person to chat with as I start general classes. To summarize my lengthy review, my enthusiasm for this gym and the experience come down to a couple of things: 1) I love the support they extend to mamas, getting us back into the gym with the focus being on our health, strength, and enjoyment 2) Not once have I left a class on the floor. Don’t get me wrong, the classes are hard, but compared to other CrossFit gyms it’s nice that they’re not going for the shock and awe of every workout being the hardest of your life. They’re focused on getting people strong and consistent over the long haul. 3) The people are kind and I notice (and love) the variation they have in ages in the class. I regularly see folks 60+, 20 something and all in between. It brings a nice energy to the gym and opportunities to connect with people in different phases of life. If you’re on the fence in trying CrossFit or coming back to the gym, come here. You’ll be so happy you invested in yourself by investing in this community. I’m so grateful I took the leap. I look forward to every chance I get to move my body, meet new people, and learn new skills and new capabilities I didn’t know I had.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been a part of, from how friendly the staff is to the energy of the members, very glad I got to be a part of it while I lived in Bend

Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky to have been part of Oregon CrossFit! The coaching here was above and beyond (the really care about keeping you safe, teaching good form and supporting your progress). They also have a huge gym with the most equipment that I have seen so you always have what you need for class with a large variety of weights to choose from. Oregon CrossFit made me feel welcomed and taught me so many skills I will bring with me in my travels and I am so grateful to have been part of this strong community!

Fantastic experience: I've had a good experience going to this CrossFit gym! A few points: • The onboarding was reasonable and showcased they have a skilled staff that take form and fitness seriously. • The "general population" classes are at a wide variety of reasonable times. • I'm fat and not particularly fit (... it's a journey), but I don't feel unwelcome or gawked at, and the workouts scale just fine. In fact, I feel very welcome and part of the community. • I get good advice from all angles: instructors, gym communication, and even fellow CrossFitters. • After an injury, the post-injury slow comeback was respected and well handled.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Oregon CrossFit. The programming is top notch as is the coaching staff. The facility is spacious with plenty of room for class and other activities (the gym runs classes for local youth athletes).

Fantastic experience: I started at oregon crossfit a little over a year ago and it is by far my favorite. Anyone can do it, it is easily modified to fit your activity level.

Fantastic experience: I started working out at Oregon CrossFit with my wife as something to do when the weather was cold in Bend. Sean took us both under his wing and accommodated our weird schedule. At first I didn’t mention to Sean that I was a distance runner because I thought he would just try and turn me into another muscle bound meathead who couldn’t run out of a paper bag. This was the absolutely dumbest thing I could have done for myself. Once I got over my insecurities of being a runner in a CrossFit gym and admitted to Sean my goals he went to work. Sean researched how to get the most out of runners while explaining the whole time why I need to be adding strength work to my existing routine. My goal for the summer was to run the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 in under 24hrs which is something only about 12% of racers accomplish at that race. A training week consisted of 3 days at CrossFit, running around 50 miles and rowing 10-20 miles. I didn’t immediately notice any changes but after a 2-3 months my leg muscles we less stiff after running, my back was no longer tight and I lost weight going from 187 to 180lbs. I also noticed my recovery time drastically reduced. What would normally take 1-2 weeks to recover I was able to start running within the week of a 50k or 50mile training race. When race day came for the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 I felt well tapered and rested. I thought there might be a small issue with my calf but I didn’t worry about it too much. Having run some 100 mile races I knew issues were going to arise but it wasn’t going to be something I couldn’t handle. Another concern I had was that my weekly running mileage was about 10-15 miles less than previous years. Once the race started I found myself running up front at a very comfortable effort. I was running alongside other runners who were breathing and working much harder. Around 17 miles into the race my calf started hurting and I was pretty discouraged, however it never got worse or to the point where I had to quit. Outside of my calf I felt great during the race with only having one low point and one bonk point. This was a hilly course with 4 long steep climbs which went very well. My calf prevented me from running as much as I wanted but I felt that the strength work I did with Sean kept my body intact to handle adversities. I finished the race at 23 hours 30 minutes…a time that I had achieved before but on an easier course. The best part about all of this is that I was able to go back to the gym and start working out within 3 days; something that would have never happened before. At this point I consider my racing season a success. I am continuing to train at Oregon CrossFit with Sean and plan to do so for my next season of racing. As with previous season of racing I have changed something in order to become faster. So, I plan to incorporate Sean’s visions and add back the 10-15 miles a week of running that this season didn’t allow. Thanks Sean…this was a great racing season! David Town

Fantastic experience: The best workout you'll ever do, with the most knowledgeable, dedicated and fun coaches around. If you want to get in the best physical condition of your life, and have a blast doing it, Oregon CrossFit is THE place for CrossFit in Central Oregon.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Ive been consistently working out here for 2 years. The best coaches and classmates. They keep me motivated to come back every morning! Thanks OC!

Fantastic experience: The Sports Performance Program is incredible. The owner Sean Wells has increased my vertical jump (Helps measure athleticism) from 23.2" to 34.4" in about 1.5 years. The information and resources Sean provides me has helped me not only to win, but dominate in my matches. The community has also given me some of my best friends. I highly recommend this place for athletes that want to dominate in their sport. Thank you Sean and Sarah for your help.

Fantastic experience: Expertly planned out programming, professional, knowledgeable coaches and a top notch facility with all the equipment you could ever want or need. Prior to coming to this gym I had been competing in CrossFit for 7 years, training multiple hours per day. Since being at Oregon CrossFit I have continued to set personal bests in strength and conditioning while training 1 hour a day in their group classes. Their programming is adaptable for all fitness levels and it works. Whatever your fitness, nutrition or life goals are Oregon CrossFit will help you achieve them!

Fantastic experience: I literally cannot say enough good things about this gym. I've tried crossfit before (in Portland) and always felt like I was struggling to figure out how to do the movements correctly and worried about hurting myself. NOT the case at all here. The coaches are AMAZING at OC. The use the warm-up time to review how to do the movements for the day, break things down into smaller pieces, and are always super encouraging. They know your name, care about your life, and love to give advice and feedback when you ask. Best of all, it's a kickass workout! I'm moving in a few months and honestly devastated to be leaving this gym (but the coaches have helped me find a new gym for when I move!).

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town!

Fantastic experience: 3 years ago I started personal training at OC. I was probably the most out of shape I’d ever been. At that time I had never maintained a fitness routine in my 39 years of life more than 3 months without getting bored or burned out. This was almost a last chance shot at fitness for me. When starting, I wanted to stick to personal training & I thought I wouldn’t want to be part of classes. CrossFit can have a stigma that you already need to be in shape to be there & that it’s really for the young & fit. Which I will tell you now that is soo not the case. There is a large age variety at OC that makes it inspiring for all ages to get after it. 3 years later I have never had more than 2 weeks off working out. I continue to be motivated & push myself. I’m never bored! Sean’s programming is fantastic & these coaches WILL get you to the goals you desire & ones you didn’t expect you had. As long as you put in the work! Every coach is amazing in their own way & I feel lucky to have a wonky schedule that allows me to get to experience each coach. You also don’t have to be able to do everything! They will appropriately scale (adjust) a lift, workout, etc based of where your skill is at or if you have an injury you are working thru. Ultimately I started here wanting to be able to be fitter in my middle age & ski longer at the mountain. Not only can I ski longer but I am a more skilled skier because of OC. Everything I do daily feels better, stronger & easier. I’ve lost body fat percent & have utilized OCs awesome nutrition coaching to help in the process. Something else I didn’t expect to gain here was community. I’ve made some new friends & nothings more fun than pushing along thru a workout with a buddy. I know a lot of people scoff at the price of signing up for CrossFit gyms. I am in NO way your typical rich Bendite. What I will say is you are getting WAY more than your money’s worth in this gym with coaching & programming you wouldn’t get in a standard $40 a month gym. This is also an investment in your health & is saving you thousands in medical bills you could have later being unhealthy. This gym is the best & I can’t recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: As an old school CrossFitter, I was banged up and started other movement practices. After taking 3 years off from CrossFit, I moved to Bend and joined Oregon CrossFit. I was stoked to find a gym that prioritized athletes getting stronger, staying healthy, improving based on individual needs. Programming is focused on helping individuals build strength and perform better outside the gym, rather than leaving you feeling crushed each week. Great training environment, great people, and high level coaching.

Fantastic experience: 21 months ago I had never done CrossFit. I never felt more like a fish out of water walking through that door for the first time. I was immediately made to feel welcome and like I belonged. I sat down and discussed with Sarah what my short term and longer term goals were. They have gotten me there and beyond where I ever thought I could be physically and mentally. I travel all over Oregon and Washington, and as a result of what they have done for me, I feel comfortable walking into pretty much any gym in any town, and do weekly. I have yet to go to one I don’t enjoy, but always extremely anxious to get back to my home gym, it’s my CrossFit family here. If you’ve ever considered trying this, come see Sean and Sarah. You Will NOT regret it. Even during the shut down they saw to it all that wanted their help to the best of their ability received it, right down to loaning us ALL equipment. Sean’s lively hood was literally in our homes. Come check them out all!

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym I’ve ever belonged to.. and there have been many! The coaches make modifications for any type of weakness or deficiencies. You never feel left out because there are so many different fitness levels in each class. At one time I hated going to the gym and now I love it and go as often as possible. Sean does an excellent job making people feel welcome. I feel lucky to belong to such an amazing place!

Fantastic experience: This is a workout facility that has one goal and one goal only - OCF wants you to succeed! Everything their coaches do and say are with your best interests in mind. I am thrilled to have found this gym!

Fantastic experience: Oregon crossfit is the premier crossfit gym in central Oregon. During the rona problem of 20’ they let us check out equipment and provided the highest quality personalized training programs. Sean Wells is as good as any coach in the business. I couldn’t recommend Oregon Crossfit more highly.

Fantastic experience: awesome community and atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Oregon crossfit is an amazing place! I continually see growth in all aspects like getting stronger, faster, and healthier. Due to training I’ve been able to recover from injuries way faster than usual and avoid injuries from strength training. The coaches give 100% of there all to everyone training and really work with you to get to your goals and above and beyond them!

Fantastic experience: My husband encouraged me to start coming to his workout class so we could have something we do together before work. I had never tried CrossFit, and was nervous to go. The coaches at Oregon CrossFit we’re great. Within a few classes, I was feeling confident and having fun with new friends and learning new skills. It’s been 4 years now and Oregon CrossFit has become part of my daily routine. They even offer online remote personal coaching! This has been a lifesaver when we aren’t able to make it into the gym, and have to do a home workout. Thanks OC!

Negative experience: This gym is ridiculously over priced. The gym seems to be more about money then bettering people’s health . No wonder why the gym was completely empty.

Fantastic experience: Joining the Sports Performance Program at Oregon CrossFit is easily one of the best decisions I ever made. I have played soccer for 13 years and it wasn’t until I started training with Sean that I could really see a change in my game. I was so much faster, stronger, and more fit than I had ever been before. I only wish I could’ve started sooner. Training with Sean not only helped me become stronger physically but mentally as well. This experience has opened my eyes to the benefits of consistent training going forward when my soccer career is over. I am beyond grateful for Oregon CrossFit and the Sports Performance family!

Fantastic experience: Engaged, knowledgeable coaching, with training that fits the specifics of athletic training for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our experience at OC has been nothing short of outstanding. Thank you S-1 and Oregon CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Large facility with first-rate equipment. Caring coaches who give advice on best form, are there for any questions, care about your progress and well being. Excellent workouts with daily attention to warm ups and important after work out recoveries.

Positive experience: Kind of weird

Fantastic experience: The entry isn't entirely obvious, as the building is toward the end of the road. Fantastic classes with very attentive coaches. I joined, having never done crossfit and not knowing what to expect. After only 1 week it's easy to get an idea of how the classes normally function. There's usually a warm up phase with great instruction on form followed by a high intensity workout.

Fantastic experience: This gym is full of great Coaching staff! Brant, Judi, Ben, Sean, Christian, Elena, Justin! All very knowledgeable and their attention to detail is always on point. They will work with you and support you the whole way. The people who attend this gym are also very friendly and have become some of my favorite people to be around. Jerry Bradley

Fantastic experience: Oregon Crossfit, and coach Sean Wells, has been working with my U18 Girls Soccer Team for almost three years now. Their strength and conditioning has improved drastically, allowing me to just focus on the soccer skills at practice. State and Regional Wins are part in thanks to the work they have put in at Oregon Crossfit.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at OC for almost three years. I trialed a different box in Bend for a few months prior to switching to OC. The owner, Sean, is committed to providing thoughtful programming to the benefit of all. The trainers are great, they will provide cues and direction to help you improve your technique. The community is excellent. The amount of equipment, which allows a greater variety in experience, is unmatched. I also like the liberal open gym policy. The box is big enough to do your own workouts, even if another class or two are active, which works great for my unpredictable schedule.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Coach was super attentive and engaged in the class. Thanks again. Loved it.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym!!! Stopped going for four years do to finances, life and then embarrassment for I got so out of shape. During that four years I tried other gyms out but never found that right fit. Now I am back at the OC and I kick myself for not getting back sooner. The coaches and athletes are the best. Very welcoming and encouraging, so that you can reach your goals. The programming is top notch, very challenging but coached in a way to achieve overall fitness while avoiding injuries. The coaches are very responsive and will help each individual with scaled options so everyone can perform the movements. The new location offers so much more space than their original location.

Fantastic experience: Joined two months ago, never having done crossfit. The classes are awesome, including their basics class for people new to it. The trainers are dedicated to keeping everyone going long term, which is really nice.

Fantastic experience: This gym is full of great Coaching staff! Brant, Judi, Ben, Sean, Christian, Elena, Justin! All very knowledgeable and their attention to detail is always on point.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Coaches are great and actually know what they're talking about. Community is great and the gym has all the equipment you could ever need. This gym has a pretty good reputation on the west coast.

Positive experience: CrossFit Strong!

Positive experience: If you're looking for a friendly, welcoming, CrossFit experience with a coach who is fully engaged in the athletes, this is not the gym for you. I had much better experiences at other local gyms while visiting Bend.

Fantastic experience: Best Box I’ve ever been to! Great members, and awesome staff!
