Welcome to CrossFit Excess in Vandalia, OH! We are Vandalia, Ohio's original Strength & Conditioning gym and premier CrossFit Affiliate. Our Gym is located at 3475 West National Road in Vandalia, Ohio. We offer a wide variety of services, including CrossFit classes, personal training, and nutrition counseling. We are dedicated to helping our members reach their fitness goals, and we would love to help you reach yours! Contact us today to get started!

We treat all athletes the same, whether you're a CrossFit Games athlete or someone who just finished Training Course. We're one big supportive family, both inside and outside the gym. We regard each of our members' needs as if they were our own. We're a business that invests in you! Our job is to provide you with the greatest instruction, best equipment, and all the tools necessary to better your life. If you're interested in competing, we're happy to assist with that. It's not a necessity, nor is it our sole focus, but we also enjoy the competitive side of CrossFit.

I searched for months looking for a box to drop in while I was visiting family. The owners Brody and Angie are very welcoming, knowledgeable, and you can tell they love what they do. The athletes are just amazing people. I was so nervous showing up to a place that I knew no one. "Everyone," I mean everyone was so welcoming. They all made me feel as if I have been there for months. They all took the time to watch me while lifting and corrected me. I have learned so much and hated it when I couldn't make it. I happily drove 24 minutes. I highly recommend!!! I can't wait till my next visit to see my family and my new gym away from my gym.

I stopped by for a class while I was in town on a business trip and was really impressed by how friendly and enthusiastic everyone was. I've been doing crossfit for almost three years and I learned three really useful tips that will make me a better athlete. Thanks, Brody, for the great push press instruction, the introduction to assisted pistols (ouch!), and the calf-crushing barbell rollouts that I so badly need. Keep up the good work and see you next time.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Excess is so much more than our local box!! Everyone is accepting and inclusive of all ages and abilities. The owners put their heart & soul into every aspect of CrossFit Excess and the trainers are the best we have ever experienced! It has truly become our second home and we wouldn't train anywhere else!! Be sure to stop in and visit, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: The "FAMILY" feel all the members have. As well as the actual workouts!

matt snyder 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great trainers! Excellent programming!! Everyone supports each other and makes you feel like family. I have tried almost every type of workout routine and was leary of Crossfit at first. Now I am addicted!!!

Tim Slentz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I live in San Diego now, but I grew up in Dayton, and I was home visiting family. I dropped in to CrossFit Excess hoping to find a good workout, and I did...and so much more. It only took about 30 seconds for owners Brody and Angie to make me feel like family. On my first workout, Brody did not hesitate to coach me and give pointers on form, technique, etc. It happened to be a team workout, and the rest of the class was friendly and supportive. Fantastic energy from the whole gym. I ended up doing 4 workouts with them during my visit, including "1776" for the 4th of July. I'm incredibly grateful for the experience. CrossFit Excess is now my 'home away from home gym'! I can't wait to come back for a visit. Highly recommend to any CrossFitters looking for a great workout, excellent coaching, and, most importantly, a supportive community!

Fantastic experience: I have been dropping in a ton during my TDY at Wright-Pat AFB and I cannot tell you enough how welcoming, and warming the community is there. The owners, Brody and Angie are not only amazing coaches but they are one of the most humblest coach couples I have ever met in my life. They acknowledge you as one of there own. Angie invited me out for ladies night (Pies & Pints) with other Crossfit members which is a pizza place and that made me feel really special. If you are looking for a Crossfit box to join in the Ohio area, I strongly encourage you to consider Crossfit Excess. This place is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Starting CrossFit here was a good and bad thing for me... I assumed CrossFit excess was how all CrossFit gyms ran. Everyone became my friend, coaching was better than I received from sports I played in high school and college. Workouts were explained in detail with what you were doing and also why you were doing it, they were programmed to push your body to its limits but also make it fun and enjoyable. The gym even secretly put together a 21st birthday party for me. Then I moved and realized that CrossFit excess is one of the better gyms in the whole country. I tried 3 different gyms in my new state and none of them could compare. Brody and Angie are doing it right. I wish they would open a gym down here. Seriously one of the best gyms in the CrossFit community

Brock Rawers 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I personally am not a member, nor am I to any other gym. If I choose to get into CrossFit, this will be, with no question the only place I will go and recommend. I have been inside this gym and saw how it's ran/works. The training and attention to detail/craft is unlike no other from Brody. It's very clear how much passion he has for CrossFit. Would recommend this gym to any and everyone!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Amazing atmosphere! The owner is a great person who cares about his athletes. The community at this box is strong to the core.

Robert Christoffers 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism CrossFit Excess is the gym we all need but don’t deserve. All of the people I ever interacted with at the gym went out of their way to learn about me, reach out to me, and push and support me. And the coaches were personable and very helpful. Tough programming, good vibes, and never had a bad day there

Dan and Ruth B 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Visited several gyms in the area when we relocated and CrossFit Excess is the best. Coaches put so much effort into making everyone better. The family atmosphere is like no other place. Everyone needs a community like this in their life. Highly recommend!

anna jones 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very involved in your training. I was a drop in for a week (even during COVID) and learned new techniques that will further me in my cross fit journey. The women here are freakin amazing (maybe intimidating) and super supportive. This gym is for testing your grit while being fun within a community and being COVID safe all the while. Will be back if in the area for sure.

Suzanne Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: LOOK no further for a Crossfit gym!!! If you have ever contemplated trying Crossfit or are contemplating changing gyms, this is YOUR place. This gym is the BEST gym and is truly the epitome of what ALL Crossfit gyms should be! I had the extreme pleasure of attending 4 classes at Crossfit Excess and truly wish I did not live 500 miles away as this would be my Crossfit home if I lived local. Everyone was so inviting and inclusive versus other gyms you feel like an outcast when dropping in. From the moment I walked in the door, I was treated like a member of their family. For example, I mentioned needing boxes since I was in town helping my mom move; one of the members (Eric) went to his work and got a car full of boxes for me. Furthermore, even though I was a drop in I received some of the best coaching on cleans, deadlifts, the assault bike, and even got my very first pistol! Brody and Angie went out of their way to include me, coach me, and include as a part of their gym family. This should be your go-to place to drop in....and if you are so lucky to live local....this should be your Crossfit home! Thank you Brody and Angie for rejuvenating my love for this sport and for allowing me to drop in!!! I’ll miss you all!!

Fantastic experience: Was passing through town and decided to give these guys a shot. Great coaches, friendly members, welcoming staff. If you live in the area or are just passing through, this box is a must. Thanks again!

Michael Deisch 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent! I spent about three months here working out and getting to know the community before my job moved me out of state. As my first CrossFit experience, I have nothing but good things to say about this gym. I was rigorously challenged every day I attended which has lead me to the best shape of my life. The owners, Brody and Angie, are excellent at what they do and always strive to maintain high standards; that attitude creates an atmosphere in the gym that breathes integrity and discipline, but all the while everyone remains friendly and very approachable. As long as you're ready to put in the time and hard work, I recommend CrossFit Excess. I would work out here again any day.

Carrie Waite 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit for 7 years and I switched to CrossFit Excess a little over 2 years ago and it has proven to be the best decision I have made! Brody and Angie are amazing coaches. They are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They have corrected years of bad technique on my lifts and I have now PR’d all since joining. I am 49 years old and In the best shape of my life and still improving everyday. I wouldn’t be where I am today without CrossFit Excess! It’s the best!

Anna Klepinger 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I gained so much by being a member of Crossfit Excess for two years. The coaches go above and beyond to recognize the needs of their members and take every opportunity to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the gym. The programming is physically and mentally challenging, but it has enabled me to understand my own capacity as an athlete, teammate, and young adult. Aside from the fitness aspect, the atmosphere is incredibly positive. This gym is a family and I was reminded of that every day I walked in.

Anthony Ezerski 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm on my third year as a member of Crossfit Excess and this place is amazing. The coaches are top notch and the members are so welcoming. I've been doing Crossfit for almost 10 years now and this gym truly exceeded my expectations. I'm fitter and healthier now than I was 10 years ago. Give it a try... you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Cant say enough to credit this place. The owners, the members, the programming. I LOVE THIS PLACE

Patrick Craun 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our family has been part of Crossfit Excess for almost 5 years. Usually when you review something it’s a personal experience, but Crossfit Excess has been a family experience for us. When I came to CrossFit Excess I just wanted to get back into shape what has happened is so much more. Community is a pillar of Crossfit and Crossfit Excess prides itself on offering a great community for everyone from the hardcore competitive athletes to the weekend warrior that just wants to live better. Bro and Angie are great owners and trainers but they are even better friends and family. And that can be said for all the trainers. When you come to Crossfit Excess you’re going to get better, and the family is a pretty solid bonus as well. Crossfit Excess is a great gym, but the people make it a great place to come.

Fantastic experience: Super tight box where the coaches actually care about you and your well being. They take the time to get to know you and help you on your path to fitness! I can not say enough about how amazing these people are!

Brooke Rowley 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The first time I walked into the gym, I got greeted by both the owners and at least 4 people. I’ve tried out a couple gyms in the area and this is by far the most welcoming. Not to mention the workouts, they suck but... in a good way. If you’re looking for a gym or even just looking for somewhere to drop in definitely give them a try!

Evan English 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am a 52 year old who has been doing CrossFit for 5 years. I love this place for many reasons but the primary ones are... 1.) Brody does the programming personally and targets it to our members' improvement in all areas. It will challenge you in EVERY way regardless of your fitness level. 2.) Trainers are caring and attentive to each and every person in class regardless of experience or skill level. 3.) A friendly community of great people who support each other with their words AND their actions. This is all supported by owners that truly care about their members and treat them like family.

Kara Snyder 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Excess is more than a place to workout, it is a family. This gym is very welcoming and accepting of all people who walk into it. On top of that, I am now in the best shape I’ve ever been and the strongest I’ve ever been in my life. I’m so glad I joined CrossFit Excess!

Carrie Combs 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dropped in after a visit to the Air Force museum. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. There was a nice kids area for our daughter to hang out in during the work out. Appreciated the active coaching during the class. Realized I needed to work on my push press form and was able to do more handstand push ups in that workout than I’ve done in my life. Super successful drop in. Will definitely be back anytime I’m in Dayton!

Kristie Eifert 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Excess almost 3 years ago and can’t imagine ever leaving! The community we have is amazing, supportive and uplifting, regardless of abilities. The coaching and programming is unmatched. Whether you just want to be pushed physically or want to be a part of an awesome community, CrossFit excess will do both!

Liz Smith 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym has become my gold standard of judging how a crossfit gym should operate. I had the opportunity of training with Bro & Ang for 6-7 months while living in the OH area. My thought process on approaching lifts, mobility, mentality, etc has forever changed. The team here even when it's a drop in or their best athletes (all in between), take the time to pay attention/watch each athletes and provide tips and improvements to their lifts or gymnastics. I came into this gym being an avid crossfitter thinking I knew what I was doing.... I was wrong. Bro took the time to correct years of poor form and all my lifts have significantly improved. My mobility also improved. I have since moved for work and miss this gym for the reasons above, but also the community they created here. I have a second family in Ohio now that I miss terribly. I will tell you, no gym comes close to Crossfit excess. If you are in the Ohio area, you must check out this gym!!

Gina Craun 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of Excess for 3 years now, my husband and I started as a way to spend time together and share a hobby/exercise together... we had no idea we would gain so much more! The trainers are passionate, knowledgeable, and care about what they do and every single person that walks through the doors. From my first day, when I had no clue what a clean was, to now when I am able to compete on RX teams (which I never thought I’d ever do!) they have never treated me any different and celebrate each atheletes successes as if they were their own. The members are an extension of our family and support and push each other every single workout. The programming here is incredible, it will challenge top atheletes and is scaled appropriately to each person so everyone is safe, challenged, and will do more than they thought they could! I can’t say enough good about this place!!!

Fantastic experience: The guys and gals at Crossfit Excess will get you sweating. Friendly staff and members allow for one to safely learn at their own pace.

Alex Dale 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Could not imagine anything else. The people, knowledge, and the effort that goes into CrossFit Excess is unmatched. The family atmosphere makes the gym a home away from home that I have been a part of for 3 years now. The personalized training is top knotch! Keep up the great work!

Ryan “Ryan OG” OG 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches, great people, great atmosphere and a great community. I’ve been a member for over 2 years now. I had never even picked up a barbell before I walked in the door the first time so I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. The coaches work with everyone closely and teach the correct form on all movements so I’ve learned a ton of stuff. It’s such a good feeling seeing yourself progress and getting stronger and stronger, learning new movements, never doing the same workouts, all while having fun with everyone else in class.

gary b 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I walked into Crossfit Excess about a month ago looking for something other than the globogym atmosphere. I wasn't and still haven't been disappointed. The first day I came in while a class was still going on, multiple people who weren't part of that class who were just doing mobility stopped what they were doing and came over and introduced themselves. This was quite refreshing because if you have ever been to a golobogym you know the looks you get: people looking at you like "great is he going to get in my way at my next machine" etc. Everyone since that day has been welcoming and helpful which has been great because a lot of the movements I hadn't done before now. The owner's and coaching staff have been incredibly attentive and receptive of me. I am in contact with Brody probably once a day through messenger; maybe for a random thought on where I need to go, to share some information about the Browns I just saw, or lord knows whatever random thing that may come to my mind. Community is what I wanted, community is what I got. So glad I found this place on my first attempt.

Brad Sheridan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member with crossfit excess for almost a yr. From the moment I walked in the atmosphere was not like a normal gym. Everyone greeted me and made me feel very welcome and the owners and coaches are awesome. Cross fit excess has made me mentally and physically stronger and the family that I have gained from this place is huge. There is no other gym like this place i can guarantee that.

Jason Huelsman 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. I started just over a year ago and have yet to have a bad experience. Everyone from the owners down to the newest member have been nothing but the best. Weather you are looking for a change, challenge or a new beginning this is your place.

Amber Sheridan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place, feels like home! My husband and I have been part of the CF Excess Family for almost a year! From the day we walked in, everyone has welcomed us and cheered us on to do our best! Great owners and coaches. Not only do I feel stronger but I feel more confident in myself because of CF Excess!

Ashley Whiteman 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Excess is an amazing community. The owners and trainers are always interested in helping you do your best and become the best version of yourself. Everyone is supportive of each other, and everyone celebrates when someone hits a goal. The workouts are run on time and are very structured and challenging. If you're looking to try CrossFit, I highly recommend CrossFit Excess.

Jaime M. 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Choosing to begin CrossFit was the best decision I have ever made! Bro and Angie are fantastic trainers that take the time to get to know you and how to motivate you...and kick your a** if you need it. I was VERY nervous to begin a program as intense as CrossFit. As most of the members already know, I don't 'people' well but felt welcome and a part of the family from the day I started. I would highly recommend CrossFit Excess to a newbie or a seasoned athlete!

Jason Rhodes 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love the gym, the community, and everything about CrossFit Excess. It is the people that make CrossFit Excess what it is and I couldn't be more proud of our gym and community.

sunie davis 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place for too many reasons to list but here are just a few; the atmosphere is without exception the most welcoming place you will find, the programming is intense and challenging but makes you want more, the trainers take pride in what they do, and the people are AMAZING! This is my second home and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Be sure to stop by and visit, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Brittany McCormick 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a 911/Police/Fire/EMS dispatcher who works alone; dealing with emergency after emergency without rest or time to get my mind together eventually leaves me mentally exhausted and beyond stressed out. Crossfit Excess is the place I go to get my mind back on track and surround myself with people who genuinely care about you. Ever since my boyfriend Jason and I joined in mid-July, We've never felt more welcomed and included in any place we've ever been in, and when you're the kind of person like me that struggles to feel like they belong anywhere; finally finding somewhere you 'click' is honestly life saving. Every single coach here is amazing and they will work with you and break things down for you if you're struggling to understand a movement, or can't seem to get passed your own mental barriers. The coaches here genuinely CARE and it shows in everything they do from designing the WOD's to being more then approachable for modifications if you're too sore or injured to do the prescribed workout. I'm typically a socially awkward and reserved person, so talking face to face to new people is not my strong suit, but the members here make feel comfortable and welcome even on my first day. If I don't start talking first then typically someone will find me and begin a conversation. I can honestly say Crossfit Excess is a friendly environment and has a excellent workout programs that leave you exhausted at the end of every hour. It may be hard at times, but joining this gym is the best decision I have ever made.

Tara Hewitt 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Couldn't imagine training anywhere else! Every member and trainer is dedicated to making sure all are welcomed, safely and properly trained and having an amazing time while doing it! I'm inspired daily by someone in this gym!

The key to a great CrossFit gym are the trainers and I found the staff here to be extremely knowledgeable and more importantly, passionate and dedicated to their members individual improvement. Highly recommend.
