CrossFit^® Havoc

Fantastic experience: I own Crossfit Wild in West Palm Beach and travel to Sarasota a few times per year. Havoc is one of the best communities I've ever encountered. Feels like home (Wild) every time I'm there. Jim (the owner) is one of a kind and loves his people. The gym is full of excellent athletes but they are also great with anyone new to fitness. If you're in the Bradenton area and are looking to level up your health and fitness, Havoc is the place.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great gym to drop into. Easy to find and park, nice people and fun WODs.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in to do an online qualifier workout and loved the gym. The owner was extremely friendly, the gym was clean and is not like normal CrossFit gyms. They had plenty of space AND tons of machines. I will be dropping whenever I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: I started going here because it looked like I was going to be moving to the area for a new job, the job did not work out however I did get to experience CrossFit havoc for a few weeks. Just in that short amount of time I could tell this is an excellent CrossFit gym to go to; and I will admit I was a little bummed out that i had to cancel my membership.

Fantastic experience: The owner Jim and all the coaches here are super knowledgeable and inviting. The gym has everything you need and is very catering to new comers as well. I love working out with this community.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Havoc is fantastic! The trainers are attentive and ensure your form is perfect. Ideal for beginners and experienced athletes alike. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Havoc is a great place for people new to Crossfit. All the trainers make sure you are not left out and push you to your limits to achieve your desired results! Jim - the owner, is an amazing guy! He gives you personal attention and ensures that all your angles and postures are correct before you lift heavy weights.

Fantastic experience: Will definitely visit again !! Next week becoming a member hopefully :) loved the vibe

Fantastic experience: Cool place, cool owners, affordable spot to get your sweat on. Give it a go!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to CrossFit Havoc for almost two years now and honestly this place changed my life! I’ve lost 50+lbs and gained some weight too in muscle I’m super grateful for the people at Havoc! Everyone is super welcoming and friendly, hanging out with your friends and getting a good sweat in is my favorite part about the CrossFit community. Jim and Natasha are amazing people and insanely knowledgeable when it comes to technique and form! You might have to skip the songs here sometimes but otherwise there is no place I’d rather do CrossFit. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I train at Havoc every time I visit Florida! A great facility with the widest variety of equipment you’ll ever get in a CrossFit gym. Jim and Natasha are awesome people plus the coaches and members there are super welcoming! I always look forward to getting there to train while on vacation!

Fantastic experience: Huge space, nice and motivating instructors. Located in the heart of downtown bradenton. Parking can be a pain in the @$$. A few of my friends go here and enjoy it.

Fantastic experience: Great, friendly owner and class leaders and welcoming vibe. Want to push yourself and get guidance+motivation from others, without judgement? Give it a shot! Also has a full set of weights/gym equipment, even if you're not taking the CrossFit classes.

Fantastic experience: Came down to the area for vacation and didn't want to be out of the crossfit gym for a full week. Did some research and came across Crossfit Havoc. Let me just say I would highly recommend it to anyone who is dropping in or who even lives in the area looking for a gym to call home. They have crossfit classes but even body building/ regular gym equipment if crossfit isn't your thing. The programming was great, the workouts were tough, and I even set a few new prs in the gym the week I was able to drop in. The coaching was top notch and extremely motivating. The members were welcoming and really good people. Can't say enough good things about this gym. Look forward to coming back every year on vacation. Thanks again for welcoming me in to the family for a week.

Fantastic experience: This is a real hard core gym. I enjoy working with my trainer Steve, but there are CrossFit classes as well that are -- intense! An insane assortment of equipment and workout options. The owner Jim and manager Lisa are always around to guide and help people. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a class while on vacation. Everyone was super friendly and inviting, coaches were awesome, and a killer workout! The gym is spacious, lots of equipment and such a cool vibe. Highly recommend! Drop in class was only $15 and we got some sweet t shirts.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Everyone is friendly and I love their workout

Fantastic experience: Love this place!

Fantastic experience: The best crossfit gym! The people who train there are kind and very welcoming, as well as for the coach and owner, Jim. If you are a beginner, he will guide you. No judgement, just sweat and good vibes!

Fantastic experience: Extremely welcoming environment that is fitting for everyone from the complete beginner to the experienced veteran. Unlike almost every other CrossFit gym, havoc has an open gym all hours of the day, and is very well equipped with strongman, powerlifting, and weightlifting equipment.

Fantastic experience: I stopped in for a day of training while traveling. This place is a great gym. The set up is very accommodating for anyone who wants to train individually or with the group sessions. They have a wide selection of standard and rare strength equipment. Good selection of kettle bells which is mainly what I use. I think this is a great place to get stronger.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Crossfit Havoc for 9 years. I have nothing but praise for Jim and the other coaches. The coaches and people at Crossfit Havoc are like an extension of my family. The workouts are challenging, but fun! They are geared for all strength and ability levels. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and offer alternative lifts/exercises if you have any issues. Crossfit Havoc is a gym where people become lifelong friends. We encourage and praise each others achievements. Crossfit Havoc is my happy place! Did I mention I'm a 58 year old woman? Crossfit Havoc is for anyone who wants to work hard, have fun, sweat, and better their life.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars aren’t enough. The owner Jim makes you feel like family even if you’re just dropping in. Great workouts but more importantly, filled with great people!

Fantastic experience: Great people. Great facility. Plenty of class time options. Fun Saturday workouts.

Fantastic experience: An amazing place filled with amazing people. It took me a while to try crossfit (even though I fully believe in functional body movement training) because my experience of cross fit culture, up until this point, wasn't the best one. But this Box is different! The trainers are knowledgeable scaling each WOD to your level and the atmosphere is inviting. I quickly made connections AND made gains! So if your on the fence as I was, take a class and see for yourself I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Fantastic experience: Dropped into the gym while on business. The owner and members were extremely welcoming! Great workout and philosophy and I’m back in the area and heading again!!!!

Fantastic experience: On a positive note! Great hard-core serious gym! can't wait to see my results. Thanks Steve Coyne

Fantastic experience: Love this place!!

Positive experience: I gave it 4 stars, I was there for the strongman, power lifting Meet on 3-19. They put on a great meet, spectators were treated great.no issues taking pictures, and conversing with the athletes, all the bells and whistles were on display.great job on both ends of the meet.....not a member, I'm from Sarasota so clearly can't give a review on CrossFit Havoc but I think this facility is for real...really good staff running the events. Thanks for a great day

Fantastic experience: Steve and the staff as well as the members are just awesome. I have trained at this gym several times and even though it’s a CrossFit gym, it has way more to offer for different types of athletes, strongman included. Make sure you check it out, I make the drive from St. Pete because it’s worth it!

Fantastic experience: Havoc has become my everyday way of life!! I LOVE this gym and the people in it, especially Jim, the owner and coach! After moving to Florida alone, it had been years since I had been to CrossFit but I knew I had to get my health back on track. I visited Havoc once and have been back everyday since! My overall physical and mental health has improved and I’m so much stronger than I’ve been in years!! Jim is patient and kind and ensures each movement is done correctly so there are no injuries. I have made friends that feel like family and truly look forward to going daily!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very welcoming and encouraging. Tons of equipment and great, accommodating hours. Looking forward to this body transformation!!!

Fantastic experience: I travel for work often and drop in many places. Not many gyms offer what these guys do. Great facility and people. Worth a little extra drive if your staying at the beach.

Fantastic experience: Love CrossFit Havoc. The trainers are so good they know what they're doing and they are also very great people. I enjoy going to this gym.

Fantastic experience: This has to be the best investment I have ever had for my physical health, fitness, and even mental well-being (which as a psychiatrist is what really hooked me in). They really do appreciate the concept of mind, body, and spirit. The entire team is passionate and is there to help you. They help people who are on their day 1 more but also find time to help people who have been there for years. A very supportive and welcoming environment. 9/10 times you will walk away stronger, more knowledgeable, fitter, and healthier human being.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with amazing staff. They have a lot of strongman equipment.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym for anyone and everyone interested in getting fit. The community vibe is very inviting and encouraging. Jim and his staff are knowledgeable and invested in helping people achieve their goals. The workouts are challenging and fun. A great place for all!

Fantastic experience: Jim was a great guy from the moment I met him. I dropped in for the weekend during a beach vacation and he was very welcoming. The gym is very equipped with tons of equipment for almost any workout. The fact that they are open Sundays and have Open Gym all day are amazing. I will definitely be dropping back in if I’m back in the area. And remember if you go on Fridays, it’s Tank Top Friday.

Fantastic experience: The best place for crossfit. The owners are always willing to help you reach your goals. Definitely recommended

Fantastic experience: So many good things to say about this gym the owner Jim is experienced and can help you reach your goals, and he has a great sense of humor. The gym atmosphere is like being around family. The staff is amazing. 5 stars!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of other Crossfit establishments. Nothing compares to the leadership and quality of Havoc. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great equipment, great instruction, great programming, and an even better community. By far the best gym I’ve ever had the pleasure of frequenting.

Positive experience: Ok

Fantastic experience: The workout is extensive every time i go. Look no further if you are from the location!!

Positive experience: Enrolled two separate winters. Jim is a great coach.

Fantastic experience: Great people, friendy staff, rewarding/challenging workouts.

Fantastic experience: Jim runs a good gym. I went to Jim's gym when his gym was in Lawton OK. Now he never visits. Come visit and I'll bump it up to a solid 5 .

Fantastic experience: I used to make fun of crossfit. Now it's the only way I work out, thanks to Jim and Natasha.

Fantastic experience: My family and I dropped in over Spring Break '19 3 times during the week. Jim was great to work with (he made it affordable for 5 of us to work out for the week). This is a very clean and sizeable box, with lots of equipment. We did some of our own WOD's and did 1 Havoc WOD as well. We'll be back anytime we return to the area. Thanks Jim!

Fantastic experience: Awesome Gym, Has everything you could need, Even a Reverse Hyper Extension

Positive experience: My children attend..No Limits..Brazilian Jiu Jitsu..there studying under coach John Freyman..Highly Recommended..4 years now..

Fantastic experience: 11/10

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Everything you need to get in shape. Strongman, CrossFit, Powerlifting.

Fantastic experience: Super welcoming. I've never touched weights in my life, and the people (owners and other exercisers) there had no problems stopping what they were doing to help me with my form, and to cheer me on to finish a set. Oh and hey Jim, did you hear about the chemist who was reading the book on helium? I've heard he just couldn't put it down.

Fantastic experience: I love being a member at Havoc! The atmosphere that Jim and Natasha have created is friendly, motivating, supportive, and a blast. Like a lot of people, the word "crossfit" was intimidating at first. Now that I am a member, I realize it is about so much more than walking on your hands and flipping tires,... It is about setting goals and working hard no matter what your personal fitness level is. Jim and Natasha want all of their members to leave their facility feeling accomplished and confident. I attribute this positive environment not only to Jim and Natasha but also the other trainers and members that are always engaged in what everyone is doing. This is not just a gym, it is a family that I am very proud to be a part of❤️

Fantastic experience: This gym is an absolute model of Crossfit community. Knowledgeable and encouraging owners, helpful and motivated members, convenient scheduling and quality equipment. The environment Jim and Natasha have created breeds personal progress and accomplishment. The people I have met and experiences I have had because of this establishment have made me a better and more successful human being. No better gym, no better Crossfit affiliate, no better family.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area! Joined with my best friend almost a year ago and it was the best decision we ever made for our fitness. Natasha and Jim are fantastic. They motivate and push you to be your best! Love the 5am Havoc class!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love coming to Crossfit Havoc. I've been a member for almost a year now. Jim and Natasha are amazing gym owners as well as outstanding coaches. No matter what level you are at in your fitness journey, they will work with you to make sure you do movements correctly at your level. They take the time to break the movements down and explain them so you understand what you're doing. The members of the gym are extended family. Everyone makes you feel welcomed. Alicia, Mac and Tracy are incredible coaches and extremely humble. They won't hesitate to help you with form or a lift, no matter how long it takes for you to get it right. They also cheer you on and help motivate you. I drive from Wimauma to Palmetto just to attend this gym when there is literally another crossfit gym 5 minutes from my house. I'd rather drive 30 minutes to Havoc because I know the coaches are knowledgable and I trust all of them.

Fantastic experience: What separates Havoc from other CrossFit affiliates in my opinion is Jim's true passion for weightlifting and powerlifting. This is abundantly evident the minute you speak with him. He keeps the atmosphere light and fun with a guaranteed laugh with every visit. Nothing flashy, just great people who truly care about other people. You won't only build strength and fitness, you'll build lasting friendships. First workout is free, but I dare you to do just one!! BTW 4 o'clock is the best class......

Fantastic experience: I needed to step out of my comfort zone so I joined Havoc. It's by far the best physical fitness decision I've made. Not only have I learned so much with training but nutrition as well. I can't forget all the new friendships I have gained.

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym I have been to- Jim, Natasha and the other coaches are always attentive and encouraging. Whether you are experienced or a newby, you won't be disappointed. This facility has more to offer than just CrossFit- stop in and see for yourself!!

Fantastic experience: I started Crossfit later in life than most and was not sure what to expect, but this gym has become part of my life. The coaches are very knowledgeable, supportive and attentive. I love the sense of community that is fostered here. The workouts are always challenging and scale-able. I have become stronger and leaner in the 2 years since joining. Thanks Jim & Natasha.

Fantastic experience: If you want to have fun while getting in shape, this is your place.

Fantastic experience: Jim and Natasha are amazing people. They help you feel confident in what you're doing and never ask you to do more than your body can handle. They're really great people and amazing trainers. I always feel comfortable when I drop in with my sister and friend. Regardless of your experience or strength level jim and Natasha are always there to guide you through the workout.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Jim, Natasha and the other coaches are always helping others achieve and exceed their fitness goals. I'm so glad to call Crossfit Havoc home.

Fantastic experience: I started coming a few months ago being brand new to crossfit and have loved working with all the coaches. Great people and great atmosphere! Love this gym!!

Fantastic experience: Being new to the whole CrossFit workout I was needless to say intimidated when I walked in this gym. Within minutes I felt at ease. I remembered that everybody starts out new. Now the workout kicked my butt, however I loved it! This gym is what motivated me to continue working out. Definitely worth giving it a try if you're in the area !!

Fantastic experience: I love the motivation this gym, and the people in it, provide. There is plenty of space and workout equipment, even during larger class times. Every workout/movement is scalable for any fitness level from beginner to advanced. And, there is also always a coach, or two, to help with any questions or accommodations. I have never had results like this gym has helped provided through great programming, hard work and dedication! Great commuter gym too bc of location!

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly. Encouragement anf expertise. A great gym experience.

Fantastic experience: Best crossfit gym in the area... every athletic level can walk in & get great quality coaching & bring their abilities to the next level. Been going for over a year now & learn something new every day. Always feel confident in each movement & leave feeling accomplished & challenged.

Fantastic experience: On Feb 10th my wife Karen and I dropped in to catch a wod. I have to say if I could move to Florida tomorrow and train with Jim and Natasha I would. I had a great workout and watching Jim train with his crew gave me enough motivation to last me till I return again. If you are in town this is the place to train!!!! Thanks guys can’t wait to come back again. Your Friends Gary&Karen

Fantastic experience: No matter what your experience level is, you always feel welcome. You can not go anywhere else and have a personal trainer so dedicated.

Fantastic experience: I am an Olympic Weightlifter and CrossFit athlete. I came across CrossFit Havoc while on vacation. I am less than a month away from my first competition this season so I needed to lift on vacation. Havoc was the only facility that had everything I needed to really train. Jim has competition bars (eleiko), several bearing bars (pendlay), and an entire arsenal of rogue bars - not the beater bars for men and women - weightlifting platforms, tons of squat racks, lifting chains for barbells, and I even saw Atlas stones though I did not use them. Also a wall of roman chairs or GHD machines which ever term you prefer. I live in Orlando and workout everyday at the Crossfit facility I go to. I have been to dozens of Boxes and I did not review them. This place caught my attention. I watched Jim work individually with the people in his classes on the squat. He demonstrated what the lifter was doing and what the lifter should be doing. His advice was sound and he cared for technique above speed, which is something I wish more coaches cared about. Family friendly place that will push people and motivate people to their potential. I look forward to lifting here anytime I am near the area. Oh and what i saw of the unlimited price, it is worth it! Quality gear, quality coaching, and a clean facility.

Fantastic experience: I am new to crossfit and everyone at CrossFit Havoc has made me feel welcome. Jim and his wife are very helpful and knowledgeable. They do an excellent job explaining and demonstrating all of the exercises and any modifications if needed. They have pushed me to be better and have given me the confidence to trust what my body can do. No matter what your fitness level, you can do crossfit.

Fantastic experience: I've worked out at a lot of Crossfit gyms and Jim is the best trainer I've ever had. Jim has a very laid back attitude (I don't like being screamed at!) and is very good at teaching proper technique - especially olympic lifting. I know a lot of newcomers might be intimated by joining a crossfit gym but Jim is very good at scaling work outs so anyone at any fitness level can get a good workout. Excerising at a traditional gym sucks. You workout aimlessly by yourself with no goals in mind other than to simply get in shape. Here you workout and compete with other members to be better at all aspects of fitness: endurance, strength, speed, etc… And the work outs are always different so you never get bored doing the same thing (ie. bench press and treadmill) The the prices is also crazy cheap compared to other crossfit gyms. $100/month for unlimited group classes and open gym. That's the cost of a starbucks coffee - roughly $4/class.

Fantastic experience: I've worked out in all sorts of different gyms for the past 10 years and I have never had more fun or had better results than I have with CrossFit Havoc. Jim, the head trainer, is excellent! He is very accommodating and provides tons of education and personalized attention. The classes will encourage you to push yourself to your limits, and you'll feel great afterwords. The cost is also very reasonable, especially in comparison to other CrossFit gyms. I recommend CrossFit Havoc to anyone who loves fitness and wants to take their performance to the next level, while also having a good time with a great group of supportive people.
