CrossFit® Roots: Opinions

Fantastic experience: I ❤️ this place SO much. The vibe, welcoming community and undeniably talented and attentive coaches make it easy to get quickly addicted to all things CrossFit. For decades my schedule revolved around climbing and yoga…now it’s checking WODs for the week. Thank Youuuu CrossFit Roots!!!
Blair, thank you for the great review! We love that you're training with us!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and a welcoming community for all levels of athletes
Thank you for the 5 star review, Kelly! We've really enjoyed having you in classes!!
Fantastic experience: I attended CF Roots 11:30 class as a guest from another country. In 13 years of doing Crossfit, visiting other boxes/gyms around the world, I have never felt this much at home. Coach Eric were there to observe and help all the time. Coach Nicole and the Team of Roots were so friendly and talkative. I thank them for their hospitality and friendliness once again.
Emre, we were so happy to have you join us this week, thank you for the kind words! We hope if you're in Boulder again in the future, you'll visit us again!
Negative experience: people running in the middle of the road blocking traffic when i'm on my way to work
Haley, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience and will remind our athletes to be mindful of traffic. Since you work nearby, feel free to stop in and chat if you'd like to discuss further. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: This place is special. Coaches are committed to and great at ensuring proper form and preventing injury. They're supportive and push you to get the most from your workouts. I checked out three CrossFit gyms in town before choosing this one. It's the farthest of the three from my house, and I'm happy to drive the extra five minutes for the culture here.
Michael, thank you for the thoughtful review and sharing your experience with others. We're thrilled that you're enjoying your experience at Roots and are excited to see all the things you will accomplish in 2025!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Roots for almost 15 years. The coaches are fantastic--excellently trained, committed, encouraging, and keep it fun. Nicole and Eric run a truly outstanding operation and are ever striving to improve the experience for their clientele and staff. It all shows in the exceptional community Roots has established. A favorite joke on "bring a friend week" is: "but my friends already go here!". Can you say all that about any other fitness experience you've had?
Jim, thank you for taking the time to write this and for supporting our small business for 15 years. We love having you at the shop and look forward to many more years of training together!
Fantastic experience: Have been going to this gym for many years now. Always welcoming and the coaching is consistently great. If you’re looking for high quality and to actually learn while getting fit, come to Roots!
You're a rock star. Thanks Alix!!
Fantastic experience: The coaching at Roots is unmatched and the camaraderie among the members is also so special. Love this place !
Lauren, we're thrilled that you're training with us and are so happy that the coaching and our awesome athletes stand out to you. Thank you for the review, we'll see you at the shop!
Fantastic experience: Roots is a rare fitness gem. They have built an extraordinary community that is welcoming, supportive, competitive, and sustainable. They have coaches that you will naturally love and respect, and they will love you too and respect your journey. I moved away from Boulder to Denver a while back. This summer my teenage daughter and I decided to make the commute back up—it was just so important to me for my daughter to meet for herself the women of Roots and experience first hand their inner (and physical) strength and champion mentality! Come to Roots ready to learn and you WILL achieve your goals and make supportive, healthy friends along the way.
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review, Brad! We truly appreciate that you and your daughter make the trip up from Denver to be part of our community. Your words about our coaches, our members, and the overall atmosphere at Roots truly warm our hearts. We're delighted to hear how much you’ve both enjoyed being part of CrossFit Roots and look forward to your continued journey with us!
Fantastic experience: I am back at Roots after a 5.5 year hiatus. And I couldn't be happier to be back. I was an avid, devoted Crossfitter for 8 years before needing to take a break due to a congenital back issue. After healing from a two level fusion and then a subsequent partial knee replacement, I never thought I would return to Crossfit. I was encouraged by an orthopedic surgeon who, when I asked, said he would "absolutely" do Crossfit given my history. "Be smart, move well, put form over intensity and volume. Listen to your body and leave your ego out of it." There is no better box than Roots if you have injuries or need a little extra attention. The coaches have unlimited patience and a true desire to coach every individual athlete to keep the safe and set them up for success in every workout. They understand the fear mentality and also have an amazing sense of what an athlete is capable of and how to challenge them without crossing the line. Being back at Roots has helped me realize that fear was preventing me from moving in certain ways that are so critical for overall health and longevity. The return to Crossfit post surgery has been such a gift for me mentally as well as physically, and I'm so greatful for the Roots community. I'm doing things I never thought would be possible again and so much stronger in every way. Thank you, Crossfit Roots!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Allison! It's so great to have you training with us again and we really appreciate you recognizing the coaches, their experience level and their dedication to each athlete. We'll be sure to share this with feedback with the entire team. See you at the shop!
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Thank you Jennifer for your positive feedback. We're thrilled you and your family are having an awesome experience with us. See you at the shop!
Fantastic experience: I went for their free "bring a friend" day. It was fun, but hard. Also they just moved into a bigger nicer space
Hey Jerry, thanks for the review. We're glad you had a good time!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic location that has changed my husband's life. He's found a community and regained his fitness. Thank you roots! He also swears your shirts are the BEST.
Our community AND our shirts... both the perfect fit. ;) Thank you, Jennifer!
Fantastic experience: The coaches are exceptional, the vibe and camaraderie are great. I have been to several boxes and this is the top of the top.
Simone, thank you so much for your review. We love having you in classes at CrossFit Roots and are pumped about all the progress you have made since joining. Way to go!!
Fantastic experience: I'm writing this 100 days into my CrossFit journey. At its core CrossFit's methodology is designed to be dynamic and challenging, every day. There are days of pure endurance and there are days of heavy compound movements. And you bet there are days of both. CrossFit's programming is both challenging and humbling, but it meets you where you are at and before I started I never believed that. I had this story in my mind that I needed to be an accomplished athlete to even step foot into the box...That story ended the day I stepped into CrossFit Roots. Roots has an incredible team of coaches and staff who are knowledgeable and amazing at helping you find your personal foundation from which to build into the sport. Each workout is discussed as prescribed but you can scale it to what you need that day—and the coaches help you do that! Honestly, you get insights from every class on how to improve your form or when you are ready to begin lifting heavier etc... And then there is the community. I wish I'd known how supportive and genuine everyone is. I'd have joined years ago for that alone! The community is incredible. Positivity and encouragement flows freely everyday (even on the hardest days). If you're considering joining a CrossFit gym I highly recommend you take a look at CrossFit Roots. If you're not in Boulder, find an affiliate, walk in the door, share your story, and let the staff guide you from there. In a few short weeks you'll thank yourself for taking those first steps through the front door.
Dan, thank you for the thoughtful review. We're thrilled you're experiencing all that Roots has to offer and we're looking forward to the next 100 days and even more after that! See you at the shop! :)
Fantastic experience: The people and expertise make this a Boulder must.
Thank you for the kind word, Jason! We agree. ;)
Fantastic experience: I have loved my time at Roots. The staff is amazing the daily workouts are very dynamic. I have noticed the changes in my physical and mental health since I started 3 months ago. I love Roots!
Lucia! You're awesome. Thanks for putting this into words:). See you in class!!
Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit ever!!
Peter, thank you so much for the kind words about Roots! And thanks for being part of the Roots Crew!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and a great members. The workouts are tough but the staff makes them scalable for anyone. They focus on technique and helping you get fit for life
Thanks for the review, Chris! See you at the shop soon!
Fantastic experience: Lol, updating my review to 5 stars after it was pointed out to me it was 4 stars. Oops..
That's hilarious, thanks Kreighton! We're happy either way!
Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches and friendly environment!
Thanks Mauro!
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. I was nervous to join as I’ve never done CrossFit in my life. Everyone here has been so wonderful (coaches/athletes) and it’s been a really welcoming experience. I’m so thankful I joined. I definitely urge others to try it out, especially if you’ve been on the fence for a while. When I first joined, all of the coaches knew my name, and treated me as if I had been a long time client of theirs. Obviously they go above and beyond to recognize everyone who is a part of this gym. Highly recommend.
Alyx, thank you so much for the review. We love having you in class and it has been exciting to watch you fit right in. See you at the shop!
Fantastic experience: Great coaching, great community. Focused on form and technique above all else for long term gains and health. I'd recommend to anyone interested in dynamic, Olympic weight lifting.
Thank you for the review Kyle! It's always a blast having you in class!
Fantastic experience: This gym has made a wonderful community feel. The coaches pay attention to everyone and give feedback. Really nice CrossFit gym.
Thanks Katelyn, we really appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful drop-in experience here with Dave as my coach. Dave followed the basics of Crossfit Coaching to the letter. We had a thorough warmup, plenty of time to practice the movement of the day with Dave’s guidance, and time inside the workout still for coaching and correcting as we lifted. I travel almost every weekend for work and drop-in a lot and very few gyms practice CrossFit like it was meant to be practiced, but Roots is one of them. If I lived in Boulder I would workout here!
Thank you for the feedback, Alan! We are CrossFit purists and so happy to hear you had a great experience. p.s. Move to Boulder! ;)
Fantastic experience: Having done CrossFit at other boxes for over five years and not seeing much progress, I feel like at CrossFit Roots I am starting over again, the right way. The coaches are dedicated to seeing you improve, even if that means calling you out on the same movements over and over again. They love to see you make progress, and the coaches genuinely cheer you on every step of the way, no matter how fast or slow you are. The programming is different from the typical (warm up, then strength, then WOD) that I have experienced, it incorporates skill work into the programming instead of leaving it up to you to find that time, it's a good kind of challenge. There are clinics and specialized classes that target specific areas you may want to work on to help you reach your health goals. Everyone is welcoming and you will no doubt find a friend in no time. The environment at this CrossFit makes you want to be a better athlete. Thanks Nicole, Eric, and coaches for giving your best to your athletes every day of the week.
Wow Diana, thank you! We're thrilled that you're enjoying your experience with us at CrossFit Roots. We love having you in class, especially those early mornings! ;) See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Incredible gym, incredible people. So impressed with the quality of workouts and education - their focus really is on meeting people where they all and finding ways to improve and challenge yourself at every level.
Thank you Peanut! We really love that you're part of Roots. You're rocking it!
Fantastic experience: Awesome awesome awesome oh yes from the amazing coaching, programming, teamwork, accountability, and overall family vibe CrossFit ROOTS is way more than just a “ CrossFit Box “ keep it up Nicole, Eric, and Team
So... you like us? You really like us Thanks Doug!
Fantastic experience: Rad gym! Great people. Very welcoming. I was there for CFL1 and would love to come back just to workout sometime.
Come back anytime, Crystal!
Fantastic experience: drop in and find great friendly people. sarah one of the trainers was very professional and polite. will be back next time i visit boulder.
Come back anytime Steve!!
Fantastic experience: Great workout sessions. Coachs are respectful, kind and friendly. Nice facility to bring children, take a shower after and they sell snacks!
Fantastic experience: Did CrossFit for just two weeks at another gym before it got shutdown by COVID. Started up again a few years later at Roots based on a recommendation of an acquaintance. CrossFit Roots stands out compared to the other gym in respect to the level of structure with the programs and staff, and level of coaching, and level of energy. Clientele is also very good. No annoying bravado members and a good mix of women and men. I can honestly say that all the coaches are amazing. At first I assumed some were better than others like most places in life, but really every single coach is amazing and I get great coaching no matter who it is. I never have to think about it. Pretty amazing feat in my opinion. I think it shows the level of passion, seriousness, and dedication that comes from the owner Nicole (who also coaches) who sets the bar high. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was lucky to join this specific gym. Pretty cool seeing that members have been there for several years, many more than 5 years, and others more than 10 years. I never heard of so many people sticking with a form of exercise like that for so long. As for the exercise in general and seeing results, I intended on only attending 2 days a week in addition to my weekend activities either mountain biking and telemark skiing, but it's just too darn effective, I get far more gains from my time spent at Roots in all areas (strength, flexibility, cardio) that making progress shows quickly and has became addicting and I now try to come as much as I possibly can to maximize the momentum/gains. 5/6 days a week if I can find the time. It does such a great job at maintaining my mood, helping maintain good quality sleep, and feeling super human in daily life functional movements (lifting/playing my kids, lifting heavy items, etc), I now try to avoid having more than 1 day off from the gym.

We love that you're part of Roots, Mike! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Good athletic vibe. Nice people. Generous space for equipment and athletes. Was at open gym so didn't get to see a class but would sure like to come back for that.
Fantastic experience: After 5 years of continuous membership I can say this box is top-notch. Clean and organized, ample equipment, amazing coaches and athletes I can only aspire to catch up with. Everything you'd expect from a Boulder. I should note - I've dropped in at numerous boxes around the country and wish I could stumble upon something better than Roots...
Fantastic experience: Crushed my soul and made me question my reason for continuing to live, but in a good way.
Fantastic experience: Absolute top tier coaching in a fantastic facility with an amazing community. This is the place.
Fantastic experience: Visited Boulder, CO for a business trip and looked for a local CrossFit. I am so glad I found Roots! From the moment I walked in the door I was welcomed by the staff and other CrossFitters. Roots truly represents all that is great about CrossFit and the CrossFit community. Their coaching was over the top amazing, the coaches spend time with each person throughout the workout to ensure everyone has a chance to improve. Special thanks to Nicole, Connor and "OC" for being so welcoming.
Fantastic experience: I've been a sports massage therapist in boulder since 2006. I used to think CrossFit was a place to do poor heavy movements fast that led to injuries. Boy was I wrong. I learned so much about my own body, proper lifting technique and when to scale back. It made me a better bodyworker 10x over. The level of coaching at this gym is unbelievable. It's worth every cent you invest. Not only that, the community is very strong. From someone who really needed a pick me up when i joined, this place checks all the boxes. You won't regret it. -Josh
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, spacious gym with dedicated coaches and a great community of athletes who are always encouraging. Tons of classes every day so you can catch a workout regardless of your schedule. I went from 15 years on the couch to regular workouts with far greater ease than I ever could have guessed, and I credit the people just as much as the CrossFit system. Thanks, Roots!
Fantastic experience: Very nice box and super friendly coach and team
Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Roots for over 5 years now and all I can say is Nicole and Eric run a wonderful box and community. The coaching staff are all highly qualified and great at what they do. They prioritize safety and are clearly passionate about the member experience. I highly recommend CrossFit Roots to anyone interested in prioritizing health and joining a welcoming community.
Fantastic experience: Huge, open space with lots of crossfit toys to play with. Owner Nicole was so knowledgeable, friendly and always available for questions. You will get fitter here!
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, inviting community, knowledgable coaches, awesome and clean facility, fun programming.
Fantastic experience: Dropped into CrossFit Roots today. I'm a frequent traveler and love to find great CrossFit gyms to visit when I'm on the road. This is one of the best ones that I've been to. The facility is big and easy to find. Every member was nice but focused on doing the work. The coach was excellent at working us through the exercises and explaining the scaling options. They even answered the phone when I called about scheduling a class to drop into. There isn't any place on their website for a non-member to reserve a spot in class but you can register online and send a message to tell them when you want to show up.
Joe, thank you so much for dropping in and for letting us know about your experience! I'll be sure to let the 6:30am coach know you had a great class. Best, Nicole
Fantastic experience: I went through CFL1 and recently CFL2 at this location. I have very high standards and am self diagnosed OCD when it comes to certain things. This Affiliate never dissapoints. It is always extremely clean and well organized. I've been into other boxes that have been open 1/4 of the time as ROOTS and arent even half as clean or organized. Staff I have met (Nicole/Cody) were always extremely friendly and welcoming. Great facility, great staff, and from what I have seen and heard from others, definitely a good choice if you are looking to join the CF community with a group that really cares.
Fantastic experience: Love this box! Great coaching, friendly community and excellent facility.
Fantastic experience: Great coaching staff, member community and facility. The programming won’t disappoint. Strongly recommend.
Hi Blake! Thanks so much for coming to the shop! It was great to have you at Roots. Come back some time!
Fantastic experience: 10 out of 10 for everything! Bring your own water bottle b/c there aren't any gross fountains.
Alex, thanks for the review and the rating! Ha, yes, no gross water fountains. If you come back just let us know if you need a cup to get water from the cooler!
Fantastic experience: Jackson's Honest viewing party.
Negative experience: Not open or friendly to outside travelers. Posted open gym hours online and I drove all the way to their gym (they can't return an email until after I already got there and was treated poorly) only to be told I wouldn't be allowed to workout in their open gym. Definitely would not recommend coming here. Not true to the "crossfit community" mantra at all!!!!
Stephani, we are very sorry you didn't have a great experience at Roots. Our CrossFit community relies on a commraderie in group classes and for that reason, we invite drop-ins to join our community in this way.
For reference, it does specify on our website that our Open Shop times are available to members only. We did recieve your email requesting information at 3:30pm on Sunday and returned your email at 7:45am on Monday. We apologize that this was sent after your morning plans were already in motion.
Fantastic experience: I came to Roots in January as a total beginner, and Shane and Eric made me feel welcome. I was never the best in any of the classes but was always pushed to lift heavier, and saw rapid improvement in my body and strength. I hope that as I recover I will be able to return to Roots, and for the four months I was there, it felt like home. The facility was clean, and most of the people were very friendly. As soon as I am in remission I'll be back.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful gym with awesome owners and staff. Great coaching.
Fantastic experience: Dropped in visiting bc I'd heard good things about Roots from 2 people at my box all the way back in VA (Crossfit West Springfield! Shout out!). Roots is a clean, orderly, well equipped box, and the people (5:30am crew!) were stellar. I was warmly welcomed and the movement corrections Shane offered me were consistent with my normal coach, who is excellent. I look forward to coming back!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a Box that will work with you to move correctly before you move heavy (and get injured), then this is the place. Excellent instructors and great community for both new and experienced athletes.
Fantastic experience: I have worked out at several different boxes and through my travels I have dropped in to several around the world. Nothing compares to the detailed oriented coaching! Tweaking my technique and helping me break through different barriers. The athletes vary in size, shape, age, and degree of intensity! No matter where you are on your path to healthier this community is welcoming, friendly, supportive, and encouraging! The class sizes are kept small to ensure every gets the coaching necessary to improve and make progress while being safe! I am not easily impressed and very skeptical but the staff go out of their way to make you feel a part of the community from day one. If you are looking for a new place or just dropping in, this is the place to be welcomed with open arms, friendly smiles, hard WODs, and the most outstanding coaching I have experienced. Its worth a look if you are looking for something outstanding.
Negative experience: My wife and I have participated in CrossFit since 2007. We have visited boxes all across the country and paid drop in fees or been invited to join a workout at no cost. This week at CrossFit roots after participating in a multi-day gymnastics seminar coached by Shane my wife was invited by her classmates to participate in the daily wod. When she attempted to walk into the group coach Shane asked her "what are you doing". My wife made her wishes known and was coolly informed she is not a member of that box and may not participate. Even when another athlete offered immediately to invite my wife as her guest coach Shane remained adamant that joining the wod was for some reason against the rules. This is a disappointing experience to have at such a well-established box. CrossFit Roots is known to be the home of several well-known CrossFit athletes, good coaching and unfortunately also a somewhat callous management. If you are looking to join a box in Boulder I cannot recommend CrossFit roots.
There are two sides to every story. We were initially surprised to read this review, mainly because; the reviewer was not on-site for this interaction, is telling the story second hand, has never been to our gym, and the interaction described is different than what coaches and athletes present saw happen.
After reading the review, we did reach out via email to the individual who had the negative experience. She gave us some constructive feedback which we will absolutely apply to future interactions.
CrossFit Roots does have a fantastic community of athletes and coaches who care deeply about each other, their gym, and their etiquette. This community isn't created or strengthened because we give clients our services for free, it comes from something much deeper than that.
Fantastic experience: The best coaching at any box anywhere! They don't just send you to climb ropes in a workout... They will teach you how to do every movement and scale movements that are out of your reach. The coaches are so friendly and helpful. If you want to get good at CrossFit and not get injured, you need to come here. They have an incredible Olympic lifting program too.
Fantastic experience: Roots is the best gym I've ever encountered, CrossFit or otherwise! The coaches are exceptionally well trained and their programming focuses on movement quality over quantity which not only prevents injury but also helps even experienced weightlifters and gymnasts improve their technique. The equipment is in great shape and updated on a regular basis. The coaches care about each and every athlete who walks in the door and they take the time to get to know you as a person as well as your strengths and weaknesses as an athlete so they can help you achieve your fitness goals. Nicole puts a lot of effort into creating a sense of community and making sure the atmosphere at Roots is supportive rather than competitive. My very first day in an actual WOD class, I had 3 strangers sit down next to me and cheer me on as I finished a seemingly neverending set of wallballs. If you're looking for a great facility that provides excellent coaching, moral support and personalized training, Roots is for you!
Fantastic experience: I started at Roots about 6 months ago and have had the best experience. The coaches have been so helpful and informative as I am learning more about Crossfit and the movements. Each workout can be scaled to my specifics needs while being challenging and fun! I would say the best aspect of this gym though is the community. They have worked hard to create an environment where everyone is supportive of each other, friendly and very welcoming!
Fantastic experience: Organized, well run WODs WODs are not overcrowded so always expert, individual attention Experienced, well trained, thoughtful coaches that understand cues for one may not work for another Supportive and encouraging atmosphere!
Fantastic experience: I have been to many gyms around the country and CrossFit Roots has, hands down, the best CrossFit coaching you can find. The staff is committed to furthering their craft and becoming the best they can be, as evidenced by the number of Level 3 and Level 4 CrossFit Trainers and the gym's internal professional development. Roots has 5 out of the 75 Level 3's and 1 out of the 6 Level 4's in the state of Colorado. The coaches also are committed to developing and including athletes of all levels , so whether you are on a competitive level, are new to athletics, are a teen, a senior, or anything in between, you will be supported and welcomed at Roots. (Disclosure: I am related to the owners.)
Fantastic experience: 7 years and counting!! I joined the gym 5 months after my first baby was born in 2009. I found the gym to be supportive and safe. The coaches are amazing. Every day I get the support for I need. This is not a one-size fits all gym. But it's an inclusive place for anyone in any phase of their life. No doubt this is the best Crossfit Box in Boulder.
Fantastic experience: Crossfit Roots is the most impressive training facility I have come across. Having run the gamut of fitness options in Boulder- triathlons, trail races, various exercise classes, and yoga, to name a few.....my year and a half at Roots has changed my perception of functional fitness and my fitness level forever. Nicole and Eric have struck the perfect balance of absolute professionalism and fun- their coaches are highly trained in movement, nutrition, and injury prevention, and there is a "work hard, play hard" community attitude that is extremely compelling. In addition, Roots offers many other in-house options, including physical therapy, body work, personal training, and nutritional counseling. Everyone, from the hard core endurance athlete to the never-liked-exercise newbie, can benefit from what Roots has to offer! I can't recommend it highly enough.
Fantastic experience: The coaching at Roots is fantastic. All coaches are extremely knowledgable, and make sure each member is using proper form and technique. Coaches cater workouts to suit anyone's fitness level and/or any injury. The community fostered by Roots is welcoming, friendly and awesome, too.
Fantastic experience: I've visited over 20 other CrossFit gyms and Roots has THE BEST coaching of any gym I've ever been to. The coaches at Roots aren't just there to put you through a WOD; they are there because they are genuinely committed to creating positive change in their members' lives. CrossFit Roots has provided me with a space in my life where I'm able to achieve things that are otherwise, seemingly impossible. Generally, CrossFit has made a tremendous impact on my life, but I know that the improvements I've experienced are only possible because of the unparalleled coaching and warm and inviting community.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Crossfit Roots for 2 years moving upon moving to Boulder. Since the moment I walked into the doors the Community, and Coaches are amazing. The coaching staff are the best in the Industry being mostly Level 3 and 4 Certified. The have the ability to pull out the best from their Athletes while keeping them safe. The owners Nicole and Eric constantly are upgraded the facility and adding new equipment. The community is best people and where i made all my friends. This is the BEST CROSSFIT BOX EVER.
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt THE BOX IN BOULDER!!! When you go to a workout at ROOTS you get to the root of exercise, the root of the movement, the root of the workout, the root of proper form, the root of a great coaching experience, the root of friendship, the root of support and the root of community. It really is all about finding your base at Roots. The coaches are phenomenal. They want you there, 100% present engaged and focused on the WOD but they also want you there for the next WOD and the next and the WOD 10 years from now. They are committed to helping you with form, functionality, movement standards and most importantly keeping you safe and healthy so you can keep crossfitting for years. Crossfit has a reputation to go hard and don't stop but not at Roots, you can go as hard as you want - if you are safe! The coaches are potently skilled at watching you and offering corrections - and aghast!! - will tell you take down weight, even use a PVC pipe if the weight is to much. That is why I keep coming back - I trust my coaches inherently and completely. And I love that they keep wanting to better themselves.They all keep testing levels up! No stopping them. The community is truly one of a kind - being a Root is something special. You make friendships that last - maybe because you see each other in such stages of disrepair that it makes friendships easy. All athletes hold each other in the highest respect. They always cheer each other on and help pick up after the WOD. And Roots has lots of social events that allow you to see each other not in workout gear. So many times I've dragged myself to a WOD against my will because I know when I get there I'll see friendly supportive faces. The facility is exactly what a box should be. All the right equipment for any WOD you need or to explore any crossfit exercise during open shop. No frills - a shower and bathrooms, changing rooms and cubbies to store clothes. It is just perfect for what a true Root needs. Nothing fancy as our focus is on the workout. Classes!!! oh hell yeah - Roots offers teen classes, over 55 classes, endurance classes, oly classes, track WODs, - really any thing that you crave, Roots will meet and surpass your desires. Really - you have got to give Roots a try. I mean where else can you do GHD sit ups while looking at the world famous Flatirons.
Fantastic experience: Come for a workout, a change of lifestyle, and a better you. Stay for the close community, friendships, and world class coaches. Crossfit roots is the gym for you. For support at all levels of fitness, for the drive to stay healthy. I moved to boulder from Phoenix and when I tried this gym on day 1 I knew it was my new home for fitness. You'll only need one class to fall in love.
Negative experience: As someone attending the gym next door, their stealing of our parking spaces is very frustrating and got to the point where we had to put chairs in the parking spots to keep them out. They coaches are egotistical, and don't care for the safety of their people.
Fantastic experience: What a great gym! It's got it all - great facilities, equipment, and most importantly great trainers. The classes are limited to 12 so trainers can focus on the athletes. There is definitely a "family vibe" at roots and the experience is highly recommended. Only bad thing I have to say is damn, they are some awful DJ's. Don't expect to listen to any pump-up music when you are here... Hopefully they read this and get on it =)
Fantastic experience: best coaching staff and great facility and programming.
Fantastic experience: This is the only CF gym I have ever worked out in, so I do not intend to compare to other gyms. I have been a member at Roots for 8 months. I feel that every single coach at this gym is top notch. Instruction is on point, every class. Equipment is excellent. Membership terms are reasonably flexible. Members are friendly and atmosphere is not intimidating. I have made friendships with members outside of the gym. One thing that really stands out for me, is the care, instruction and follow-up after I experienced chronic pain. My situation was evaluated by a qualified Roots staff member, essentially in a physical therapy session. A rehabilitation plan, which included stretching, massage, specific exercises (alongside WODs) was provided to me. After discussing this issue with a coach, this information and the thought of its cause was shared with all of the other coaches, which resulted in each coach checking in with me to provide personal caution regarding movements that could exacerbate my situation and/or to provide scaling options while I was in class. I found this to truly be 5-star attention. To be honest, I was skeptical that all this would correct my situation. After following the plan, I am super happy to report that I believe the origin of my pain was correctly identified, and that the rehab plan was effective. Months later, and I am now back to CrossFit at Roots as aggressively as I wish to be, and pain free. Meanwhile, coaches still check in with me specifically to see how I'm feeling. Thanks Roots, I couldn't ask for more! And here's to a healthier me!!!
Fantastic experience: Great facility. Fantastic coaches. Class sizes non larger than 12.
