Roaster Barbell

Fantastic experience: I’ve been through a number of boxes. All have their pluses and minuses, but hands down this community is THE place to call home. The head coach is passionate, dedicated, and has a mind for effective programming. Equipment is all top notch with enough for everyone in class; ergs, barbells, plates, rig space, etc. Beyond that, the community is amazing. Everyone is welcoming, supportive, and approachable. Athletes all range from new to fitness to elite level competitors. Program and coaching to suit.

Fantastic experience: Roaster Barbell is one of a kind! Between the people, programming, and coaching the desire to continue to show up is consistently there. You will not regret joining this community.

Fantastic experience: Roaster Barbell isn't just a GYM. It's a place where people gather to become better-- physically, mentally, and personally. That's possible because of the person who owns, runs, and operates it, Pete Taylor. I have been to countless gyms over the past fifteen years. It all starts the same-- with an owner who is enthusiastic, determined, and involved. At every one of those gyms, those owners became disengaged and allowed someone else to take over. Not at Roaster. Pete Taylor is the epitome of dedicated. He cares. He is gets involved. He is determined to make you better and help you achieve your goals. I am nearing my two-year mark at Roaster and I attend class religiously 5-6 times a week. Pete is always there to hold me accountable. The few times when I haven't shown up for class, he has immediately reached out to me to see where I'm at and why I'm not there. He CARES. He wants you to succeed. It is his mission. Roaster has become HOME to both me and my family. At one time, four out of five of my family members attended Roaster. We are all so happy to have found this place. I have met so many people here who have become lifelong friends. The community is uplifting, genuine, positive, accepting, and supportive. It is made up of all kinds of abilities as well. People support you no matter where you're at physically and athletically. I am so thankful for Roaster Barbell. I highly recommend you give it a try if you're looking for your new home!

Fantastic experience: I started with Coach Pete in 2011 when he was just starting out as a personal trainer. I then took a short break and returned when he opened the original “Roaster Barbell”. Pete has pushed me to achieve things I never thought I could do and he has encouraged me to start over without judgement multiple times. This gym and community are one of a kind and nothing compares to it! Thank you Coach Pete!

Fantastic experience: I have been to several CrossFit style gyms over the years due to moving. This gym is one of the best. Great coaching and really challenging workouts/programming. Pete has definitely built a really strong community and I’m happy to be a part of it. Also the amount of equipment available and space is the best I’ve seen at a CrossFit gym. My husband and I drive quite a bit further to go to this gym that’s how much we love it.

Fantastic experience: I started at Roaster just over a year ago and it truly is an incredible community! I restarted my fitness journey 14 months ago after years of inconsistency and excuses. After a year plus of consistently attending, my fitness and strength level is probably the best it's ever been and continuing to improve. Coach Pete's programming is second to none and the "show up and put the work in" mentality is just what I needed to help me develop. There's rarely a day that goes by that I'm not excited to head to Roaster and keep working towards the best version of myself. If you're looking to restart your fitness journey, considering switching gyms, or just looking for something new and different, search no further than Roaster Barbell!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Roaster since July of 2021, and I am so grateful to be a part of this community. I had no prior CrossFit experience and to say I was intimidated would be an understatement. However, Coach Pete goes out of his way to ensure that not only are you well prepared before you even begin training, but he (or one of his other two awesome coaches) is at every single class, actually watching everyone’s movements to ensure that not only are you training safely, but correctly, so you’re getting the most out of the hard work you’re putting in. Between the high level coaching and the sincerely friendly and welcoming community, I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Roaster Barbell is one of a kind. I have been to many Crossfit gyms over the last 10 years, and none even begin to compare. You won't find the variety of equipment, top notch programming, or supportive community anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: The strongest community I know! I’ve grown in my strength both physically and mentally as a mom, wife and friend. We are always lifting each other up in and out of the gym. My kiddos also do 1:1 training with Coach Pete!

Fantastic experience: I have spent numerous years at Roaster Barbell with Pete and don’t plan on changing that any time soon. Pete has built an amazing community through the years and continues to grow with the up coming move to a larger facility. The workouts are challenging but doing it with a group of people helps to stay motivated and keep coming back. If there is something that you can’t do, there is always another option for your abilities. Don’t be intimidated by the CrossFit name and come check it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant to join CrossFit because all I ever heard were jokes about it and people getting injured. This couldn't be more inaccurate at Roaster. Coach Pete is always ensuring that people complete movements in the right way, so you're not walking out with injuries. Joining Pete and the Roaster community has been one of the best decisions I've made in life. It has benefited me beyond what I could have imagined. You won't regret joining.

Fantastic experience: Roaster Barbell is an amazing gym with even better clientele-the community, the coaching, and the equipment is the very best I’ve ever seen. I don’t regret starting my CrossFit journey here, and I’ve made so many friends that encourage and support me inside and outside of the gym. I highly recommend you come join the fun in a judgement free environment!

Fantastic experience: I've been in the CrossFit space since 2016 but I've been with Roaster Barbell for about a year now. It has been eye-opening seeing how Roaster Barbell is run as a business. Pete runs his gym with the dedication, precision, and intensity that any good CEO would have running a Fortune 100 Company. Beyond the professionalism, the community that has blossomed at Roaster Barbell is one of passion to get better each and every day. The phrase "get 1% better everyday," is definitely put to life in this gym. If you are looking for a gym that will push you beyond your limits, care for you as a person, and a place where you will have fun, Roaster Barbell is the place for you! Thank you Pete for all that you do and thank you to the Roaster Barbell Community for continuously pushing me to be better.

Fantastic experience: This a great place to get a good work out in and people there a so supportive.

Fantastic experience: We love Roaster Barbell! The programming is what keeps me challenged each class but the community is what keeps me showing up here for those challenges! My wife and I have been a part of this community since 2018 and looking forward to move to the larger space!

Fantastic experience: Pete Taylor and Roaster Barbell are a shining example of what the Crossfit community is meant to be. I have been to Crossfit boxes all over the world and this place is head and shoulders above the rest. He provides the accountability and coaching that athletes new and old need. He continuously looks for ways to improve the client experience and every time he does so, it exponentially adds value for the community. Place is one of a kind!

Fantastic experience: Pete and the Roaster community are great!! There are so many things to list about how amazing the people and atmosphere are but the most important (to me) is the synergy you receive from Pete Taylor. He pushes you to continue to show up and be great in your own personal way. The community has also been perfect for my mental health as well! Continuing to help me overcome the adversity that life gives you each and every day. It’s a joy to come and throw weights around with the amazing team at 5 AM!!!

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere. The programming is top notch . Equipment is second to none . Pete knocks it out the park

Fantastic experience: I just hit my one-year anniversary at Roaster Barbell, and I'm amazed at the progress! As someone who used to find gyms intimidating, Roaster Barbell has been a game-changer. Coach Pete Taylor's wealth of knowledge and experience is evident in the well designed, engaging, and challenging strength training programs that cater to all fitness levels. Coach Pete's approach is exceptional – he starts each session by explaining the movements and scaling them to individual needs, ensuring everyone can participate and feel a real sense of accomplishment at the end of a well-balanced and challenging workout. What truly sets Roaster Barbell apart is its welcoming and encouraging community. The atmosphere is very positive and motivating, helping you push through the hard moments and resulting in remarkable progress. Whether you're a fitness novice or a seasoned enthusiast, the warmth and motivation from the community at Roaster Barbell make every workout enjoyable. Looking forward to achieving many more milestones at this outstanding gym!

Fantastic experience: Really love the Roaster Community. I’ve been here for 6 years and it’s been great seeing the community continue to grow. Coach Pete does an amazing job with the programming and it constantly challenges me to be better. Thankful to have found this gym and community of people!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching and community!!! I was looking for a gym that has a stable staff (not revolving) and this is it. Coaching is great and challenging (in a good way), but also tailored if needed. I truly appreciate coach Pete and the Roaster community.

Fantastic experience: I started at Roaster a little over three years ago and I can’t say enough great things about this gym and community. The equipment, the programming, and the coaching by Coach Pete are excellent. It is very apparent that Coach Pete takes great pride in his gym. The community of athletes is incredible. Not only do we support each other while working hard, I get to call these athletes friends. If you are looking to start CrossFit at any level, give Roaster a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I came to CFRB in April of 2016 looking for a change in my regular fitness routine. I definitely found it! The gym itself was impressive. Always clean, organized and filled with top notch equipment. The other members instantly welcomed me with open arms! Within a couple weeks of going on a regular basis, I felt totally accepted into the community. There is no judgment at this gym and always a steady stream of encouragement and support! Pete does an awesome job instilling knowledge of Crossfit and motivation for personal growth within each workout. Even in the short amount of time that I've been a part of CFRB, my strength and endurance has grown immensely and has never been better! If you are looking for a great place to become fit, have fun and meet new friends, CFRB is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I stepped away from the CrossFit community for a few years. I was worried about “jumping in” until I reached out to Pete at Roaster Barbell. Pete and the crew made me feel welcome and I’ve enjoyed every class since. The coaching staff is terrific! They help with scaling, movements, and positive reinforcement. Not to mention Roaster has more equipment than any CrossFit gym I’ve seen (and it all works!). Icing on the cake is 24/7 access. Seriously, you need to check this place out!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been very apprehensive about joining a CrossFit gym for years now. I started at Roaster and felt very comfortable from the minute I walked in! This is only week 2 for me but I’m excited to keep learning this new way to workout. Thanks for a great gym Pete!

Fantastic experience: The Coach is more than simply a "gym rat." He is a student of physical fitness. His meticulously planned workouts, knowledge and ability to help are part of what makes Roaster Barbell stand out from the rest of the gyms. In addition, his dedication and hard work provide a great role model for all the gym members. I have successfully applied his philosophy in other areas of my life. "Don't steal their struggle!" Thanks Coach!

Fantastic experience: I am home! This community is like no other. Pete does an amazing job with programming. You can tell he takes a lot of time and effort in his programming. Everything always has a specific purpose and he makes sure to explain that every workout. It makes a difference!

Fantastic experience: Having had membership at varying CrossFit over the years I can attest that Roasted is by and far the most welcoming and dedicated gym I’ve experienced. Regardless if it’s your first or 1000th class all are welcome and the team is more than accommodating in taking the time in a high energy fun vibe. The coaches are wonderful and professional in all they do and serve as welcoming accountability partners! Lastly, having 24 / 7 gym access is wonderful on occasions when you can’t make a class due to work / family commitment's etc.. If you’re looking for a CrossFit / Gym - you owe it to yourself to reach out to Roasted!

Fantastic experience: I started at Roaster in July of 2022 and have gone consistently 4-5 days a week since that time. The programming is the best I have ever experienced and I have been doing circuit and crossfit training for over 20 years. There is not enough space to write the amount of value this community has brought to my life. Every single person is there for the same reasons and THE PEOPLE are what keeps everyone coming back. My kids watch my husband and I get stronger and want to do it too- my daughter says “I want to be strong like mom” not “skinny” and that is a priceless narrative change that I am so thankful for. Fit, strong, family, fun. Oh and sometimes we golf ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of Roaster for about 5 years and I can say that coach Pete has created an atmosphere where someone can come in with zero experience to a top athlete and you feel welcomed with open arms and the ability to become a better and healthier version of yourself. The camaraderie, team work, and support from all of the members is second to none and this gym has become a huge part of my life and I have found friends for life. Thanks to coach Pete for creating such a great environment for people to grow, learn and become better!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for that jump in your fitness and a challenge, look no further! Honestly- I was stuck in such a rut with my fitness and I didn't know what to do. I had done a few CrossFit classes and was nervous about joining. But I can honestly say after 2 years there's absolutely nothing to be intimidated about. This community is what keeps Me coming back. It's encouraging and motivating every single day. The people will challenge you and cheer you on at the same time. It's an amazing experience. Coach Pete is at the forefront of this whole community and his pride flows down to every Single one of us. He takes the time to get to know you and your family! It's his mentality and drive that keep you coming back! Honestly, I've surprised myself everyday, not just physically but mentally as well!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great community, great owner.

Fantastic experience: Best crossfit gym in the Cleveland area hands down. From the programming to the equipment to the community, Roaster has it all.

Fantastic experience: Roaster Barbell is THE gym. Pete invests in his members in a way that I have never seen before. As soon as you walk through the front door you are not just around people that you know you are around family.

Fantastic experience: I cant recommend Roaster Barbell enough. The community, gym equipment, programming and knowledge is the best around. Coach Pete is dedicated to make sure each of his gym members feel welcomed and work towards their highest performance. So thankful to be apart of Roaster Barbell.

Fantastic experience: This place changed my life. It was a trigger that started changing negative, destructive behaviors and building good, healthful behaviors. The community is incredibly supportive regardless of fitness level. Coach Pete is fantastic. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The Roaster community is amazing! Coach Pete is dedicated and supportive of everyone and their individual growth. Exceptional mental and physical gains!

Fantastic experience: I started at Roaster Dec. 2022 for the open gym. I love the flexibility and hours. I started taking classes and love the coaching. Pete is very knowledgeable and I adore his programming. The workouts are challenging but fun. I love the atmosphere and how organized the gym runs.

Fantastic experience: Spent half a year away from the gym due to cancer. The day I returned, it felt like I never left. They allow you to be yourself and work at your level helping you to get better. Hate leaving reviews but when some place deserves it, I will leave one.

Fantastic experience: I’m 15 and i’ve been working out here for a while and i love it a ton. There’s a bunch of different equipment, and i love that there is an open gym option as well as classes. It allows me to run before classes in the morning and come whenever is most convenient for me. Also it helps that everyone’s just nice and enjoyable to be around.

Fantastic experience: It’s been hard for me to express in words what an exceptional experience I’ve had being part of the Roaster community these past couple years. I started at Pete’s gym about a year and a half after beginning my CrossFit journey. In full transparency I was a little intimated to start at a new gym still being somewhat new to CrossFit but I was pleasantly surprised at just how welcoming Pete and the entire Roaster community were. It has been and still is blatant how invested Pete is not only on a group level but on an individual basis as well; working to help everyone perform to the best of their abilities no matter what level- from newbie to elite. This is also evidenced by the personalised programming provided and wide array of the equipment which is kept in pristine condition. Without digressing too much (as I could go on and on), I did want to also note that over the past two years being at Roaster I also was blessed with our first child. I will say that being pregnant and working out has been of the most scrutinised experiences I’ve ever had. That being said- Pete was super helpful in guiding me through my pregnancy and helping me modify exercises as needed. I also couldn’t have asked for a more encouraging/motivating group of people to have been surrounded by! I am a100% confident that this was also the reason I was able to bounce back following my pregnancy so quickly! So in a nutshell if you’re debating checking out Roaster I would highly recommend doing so without any reservations!

Fantastic experience: 10+ years with Coach Pete and his Roaster Barbell community and I will be here for more. I have witnessed hundreds of members join CrossFit Roaster Barbell and become the best and most fit person they choose to become. I have visited 50+ CrossFit gyms during my business travels and the Roaster facility, equipment, and extensive in-house programming from Coach Pete rivals all. The supportive community is home and welcomes everyone wherever they are in their fitness journey. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: Been going to roaster for several years now and I have never found a better community of people. It’s been a blessing not just to me but to my wife and daughter who are also members. If you need a gym community to be a part of give Pete a call and get started.

Fantastic experience: Incredible community. Top notch in every way. Great programming, great coaching, great facility, great people. 5 years in and a lifetime to go. No better community to be a part of and no better way to start every day than at Roaster.

Fantastic experience: I enjoy being a small part of this community.

Fantastic experience: Roaster Barbell has elite programming, all the gear and equipment you could ask for, and the best community! I've been to dozens of CrossFit gyms and this is #1!

Fantastic experience: Great coach and community!! I have been here for 2 years. Can't say enough how much I enjoy the place, coach and people. It's not just a gym. It is a community that we support, encourage and cherish each other. They make me to be consistent; we push and make each other better! Just need to start and show up! XOXO

Fantastic experience: Open gym goer who follows own strongman programming here. The facility is clean, organized, and full of top notch CF equipment. Lunch time is typically empty except a few of us so plenty of room for activities. My wife attends Pete's classes and follows his programming, which has been transformative for her mental and physical wellbeing, so can attest to his training as high caliber. Although Roaster is a Crossfit gym, Pete has been open to me bringing in some of my strongman kit to prep for comps which has been amazing. Beats lifting at home in my basement or out on the driveway when it's below freezing. All that said, whether you plan to attend classes or utilize open gym, you probably won't find a better facility than Roaster or a better coach than Pete.

Fantastic experience: Roaster is a great gym and community!! I have been part of several CrossFit boxes, and by far Roaster tops them all. I enjoy and have fun in a gym that I can call home. Coach Pete’s programming is one of the things I enjoy the most. It's not just a gym. It is a community that we support, encourage and cherish each other; we push and make each other better! Really great place!!

Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit gym in NEO!! Pete is the man

Fantastic experience: I was able to finally find a CrossFit gym to call home the day I walked into Roaster Barbell! Coach Pete Taylor is knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of fitness. Pete has established a great community of like-minded people who want to pursue a better life for themselves both inside and outside of the gym. I love being a part of this super charged environment and surrounded by people who quickly have become more of a family than friends. Don’t hesitate, check it out, you will be happy that you did!!!

Fantastic experience: This is my third gym in the last 5 years and my forever home. Roaster has 4x the equipment and much larger class sizes than any other gym I have been too. The fellowship there the reason you can join a stick with it for years. The owner, Pete, prides himself on fundamentally thoughtful workouts that not only keep the classic CrossFit burn but also help build the core weightlifting strength. Whether you are a CrossFitter, new to the sport or a weightlifting enthusiast, I would recommend stopping by to see it for yourself. See you around!

Fantastic experience: I have been to a bunch of CrossFit gyms in the northeast Ohio area, and my wife even more of them than myself. No gym offers what Roaster does! Pete the owner and coach at the gym truly cares about every person that walks in those doors and wants to help them live the healthiest life possible! He fosters a great community and is constantly upgrading the gym in a way I have never seen from another gym in the area! Definitely no better gym and more importantly no better community in the area!

Fantastic experience: I just love Roaster Barbell and Pete's coaching. Its been by far the best programming for strength and conditioning I've had since I started crossfit 7 years ago. I've been coming to Roaster just over a year and have seen amazing results. I look forward to class everyday.

Fantastic experience: The gym is super organized and efficient. Pete is a great coach; he seems to understand the needs of everyone working out on the team. The strength programs are awesome, well-structured, and really encourage showing up and being consistent, which leads to results. The team is great, love the field trips and events that the group gets together for. I've seen great results over the last 6 months, and I'm pumped to see what the future brings.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym and it's community!!! I've been going to this gym for over 3 years with my husband and my now 15 year old daughter. After trying several other CrossFit gyms, there is no one else that comes close to what Roaster has to offer. It's a great community of encouraging people of all skill levels. I started my Crossfit journey at over 250lbs and have lost nearly 100lbs. Thanks to the excellent programming, I have improved my strength, flexibility, and cardio. The programming is diverse and you never get bored.

Fantastic experience: One of the most welcoming places I have ever joined! Fantastic programming and coaching, updated equipment and everything is in its spot so it’s easy to find. 100% recommend giving Roaster’s a try!

Fantastic experience: 24/7 open gym is a huge plus if you cant make the classes! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I wanted to give it a few months before giving a detailed review, but roaster Barbell is an AWESOME gym. I’m new to CrossFit, and had my reservations, as I had no background with gymnastics or Olympic style lifting. Pete’s credentials speak for themselves. He did a phenomenal job introducing me to complex lifts / movements my body hadn’t done before (Highly recommend doing an intro). Moreover, he creates and maintains a safe environment where people aren’t going to hurt themselves. The facility is great, the community is better and Pete’s programming is off the charts. My ultimate goal was to be a better athlete ( for bjj and grappling ) and in just a few months i feel more explosive and more conditioned than I ever have before. I thought it would be intimidating, but there are athletes of all shapes, sizes and skill levels and tenure here - and everyone has been very nice and accommodating. Unless your goal is to not improve your fitness, I 100% recommend checking it out.

Fantastic experience: Just wow. There is so many great things I could add about this gym but I will try to sum it up short. The communication with the owner of the gym was phenomenal. He has it where you can do month to month so you do not have to worry about being in any contract what so ever. It's clean. It's organized. There is an app you can follow for each daily workout if you miss a class. It's 24/7. Lastly the owner genuinely cares and will answer any questions you might have. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: The level of commitment Coach Pete has to the gym and great programming is unparalleled. I always feel challenged and motivated to do and be greater, while still being kind to my present self. I'm not the strongest or fastest or fittest, in fact I'm often at the bottom of the leaderboard, but I am improving every day and reaching my own goals. Great gym, fun, accountability, and fitness The benefits go beyond the gym, too - I can even drop it low for my dance recital which I never thought I'd be able to do since normal squats are hard Get uncomfortable, do the hard things - you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I live in South Carolina and attend a gym in the upstate but when I was visiting family in Cleveland I checked in with Coach Pete to do a drop in. I received an immediate response to okay my drop in and get me set up. The clients and staff were all warm and welcoming and helped me get situated. I left with an amazing experience. If I was living in Cleveland this would be my gym! Suprisingly, I had received a letter from the gym a week later informing me that I had overpaid by $1 and sent me the money back along with a few stickers. I dont usually post reviews but this group and the community need to be aware of a place that has integrity and quality when one is in their backyard. Safe to say that when I am back in Cleveland again I'm dropping in to Roaster Barbell.

Fantastic experience: Roaster Barbell has continued to improve over the years and is always striving to give members the best fitness experience it can. Every class at Roaster feels like you are part of a family.

Fantastic experience: Best gym around! Pete is very responsive and knowledgeable. Regardless of where you are in your fitness journey, you belong and will be welcomed by this awesome community. The equipment and gym are clean and well kept. There are constantly updates being made to improve the facility and your experience. Recent addition includes 24/7 access to the gym! Amazing

Fantastic experience: Even after 3 years of 5 days a week the enjoyment hasn’t faded. I’m always surrounded by people who want and expect great things for me and themselves. Everyday on my way home I think to myself ‘I wish everyone could feel as great as I do right now’ and you can if you come and join us!!!!

Fantastic experience: Roaster is an incredible place. You can tell Pete puts a lot of pride into the place. The programming and atmosphere is outstanding. My body has never been so balanced. You won't find a more welcoming community in Cleveland.

Fantastic experience: Roaster barbell is far and away the best gym I’ve ever been to. The community is great and Coach Pete does an amazing job programming the workouts and keeping you motivated to get through even the most seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Being new to group training was nerve wracking at first, but Pete makes you feel welcome when you first step foot in the door. I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Due to moving, I've belonged to 4 Crossfit gyms in 8 years and dropped in to many. Crossfit Roaster Barbell is the most professional (yet still fun!) gym I've experienced. What differentiates Roaster from other gyms is that the Owner wants and delivers the BEST for his clients and his bar for what's best is set really high. The programming is scalable yet challenging; the coaching is trusted and personal; there is plenty of newer equipment; the people are hard-working and supportive of all levels; and my favorite - the communication is frequent, relevant, varied, thorough and proactive.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching and programming by Pete- multiple classes to choose from, clean environment, a wide aray of crossfit equipment and the group of regular gym goers are supportive and all around great people!

Fantastic experience: I did a drop-in since my gym was closed for the holiday. Coach Pete was extremely enthusiastic and eager to have me in class when I contacted him. He made sure to greet me when I came in and took the time explain how the gym was set up. Even with a large class, he managed the time well and made sure everyone knew the expectations and movements from warm-up to WOD. His demonstrations and verbal cueing were great and fellow class members were supportive and welcoming to a newcomer. I would definitely come back in again for another workout.

Fantastic experience: Best gym around!

Fantastic experience: Let me tell you about my Crossfit atmosphere and community. They helped me become the lady I always wanted to be. Created great friendships and set new PRs. I learned & growed along the way with a smile on my face & sweat dripping sometimes from my face. I keep coming back striving to be better every step of the way. Mobility movements are a plus and I learn something new every day! Weight lifting & barbell movements are my favorite. The quick endurance WODs, my coach tells me to keep moving & go! My crossfit friends will say you got this! When the clock makes that sound, times up! & they give a high five! I am happy where I am at and with room to grow. You'll feel welcome when you walk into the door!

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms in Cleveland. Pete runs this CrossFit gym like a well oiled machine. If you are looking for a community of encouraging people and a challenging workout than this is the gym for you!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym around. The community is incredible! Everyone is extremely supportive and encouraging. The coaching and programing is incredible. Thank you Pete for creating such a wonderful environment and gym!

Fantastic experience: Great local CrossFit gym with people of all skill levels and ages. Recommend to go in and talk to Pete about yourself and what you are looking for vs what he can offer. Your health is always worth your time.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of dropping in to Roaster Barbell and Pete is a great coach with a clean, well equipped gym! Everyone in his class was very nice, we had fun and worked hard! What more can you ask for? Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I worked out at Crossfit Roaster Barbell for 12 weeks while in town for a clinical rotation. Pete and the rest of the staff were extremely welcoming and treated me like family the entire time I was there. The community is awesome and encouraging with a good dose of dedication mixed in there. The gym is equipped with everything you could ever want in a Crossfit gym and then some. I was here throughout the whole Crossfit open which was a great experience as well. I can't recommend this gym enough. From the staff and community to the equipment and programming, everything was top notch. If you are around the Cleveland/Berea area you should definitely drop in here, you won't regret it! I will be back for sure.

Fantastic experience: I dropped into Roaster Barbell for a workout and everyone was very welcoming. Pete the owner seemed very knowledgeable over the movements that were in the workout and provided a great push during the wod. Overall I had a great time and I would recommend anyone in the area that's looking for a crossfit gym to check out Roaster Barbell!

Fantastic experience: I was nervous to join a CrossFit gym full time but with the great coaching staff, they helped me to the point that my bad knees and back are feeling stronger than ever before. With their knowledge, they guide you to get peak results without injury. The community that they have built there is like a family that motivates and supports you no matter where you are in life. Best gym and CrossFit facility I’ve been apart of and don’t plan on leaving anytime soon!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with an amazing group of people. Pete was fast to respond to my email about dropping in which I appreciated. Cant wait to visit again!

Fantastic experience: While in the middle of a four month road trip, they welcomed us into the gym like we were regulars! Space is awesome, equipment is top notch, athletes are supportive and coaching is the best in the area.

Fantastic experience: I spent two months in the area and had an excellent experience at Roaster. Pete is an incredibly inviting owner and coach and the whole community made me feel really welcome while I was there. The facility is top notch and Pete’s programming will allow the time to both perfect skills and get a hard workout in. If I’m ever back in the area this would be my spot.
