CrossFit 916

Fantastic experience: I love CFEG! There is a real comfortable, caring vibe at CFEG. The coaches are all super knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone here - the coaches and the class members, really support and encourage you. Crossfit is the way to go to get stronger, fitter, lose weight, and basically feel better. It’s fun, challenging, and you’ll never be bored. I’ve been crossfitting for about 6 years now and coming to CFEG for over 4. I can’t imagine crossfit at any other place. If you are looking for a crossfit box to join, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: We, as a family, love CF Elk Grove! The people there and the owners, the Benade Family are the best! You get a lot of one-on-one attention and the group class is so motivating that you just want to keep going every week if not every day!

Fantastic experience: I've had a cervical 4-7 fusion, shoulder surgery, an annular tear at L 3, 4 and herniated discs at C3, T1, L2, S1 and osteoarthritis in my left knee from trauma in Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. Despite this, the trainers at CFEG make my workouts challenging while enhancing my range of motion and strength. I'm 55 years old, 100% disabled and I recently won a cross fit competition.

Fantastic experience: Great workout in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. I have been going to this Box for over a year now and have experienced great results. The coaches are knowledgable and can scale ANY workout to meet your fitness level. I highly recommend CrossFit Elk Grove!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of CrossFit 916 for almost 8 years. If you’ve never tried CrossFit, don’t be discouraged by anything scary that you hear. At this gym, you’ll learn how to perform the movements correctly, in order to do the workouts without injury. You don’t have to be strong or in shape to try it, you just have to show up with a great attitude. Workouts can be scaled down to whatever your fitness level is, and they can accommodate for recovering injuries. What I like most about it is that I don’t have to think about what I’m going to do at the gym, it’s already been programmed, and I’ll be done in a hour. In addition to getting a great workout, you’ll also meet some really great people, motivating you through your workouts. Crossfit communities lift each other up, and encourage friendly competition that makes it fun. If competing with others isn’t your thing, that’s ok too...you can compete with yourself, by improving your lifts, strength or time to complete movements. If you come straight from work like me, there’s a place to change into your workout clothes and a cubby for your belongings. They also usually offer a free week to try it before you buy. It was the best investment I made in myself.

Fantastic experience: I loved this gym, been here for 4 months now and I haven't even feel bored with cf916 workout program. The coaches and members here are super. Non of them will give you any negative in here. Everyone encourage each other. The coaches in there pay close attention to you, especially when you are newbies. They want to make sure you are understand each workout movement . They make sure you do your best at the same time they make sure you don't get hurt. If your form is not correct, they will tell you to stop, have patient to guide you step by step. When the 1st day I step in into this place. They've already treated me like family here. I am a stubborn person, I had a lot of injuries before I join this place. So time to time my joint will ache like crazy but I still go in to workout. I though I can hide those pain, I was so wrong. The coaches there, they pay attention to members. Coach Aaron saw my facial expression, he walked up to me, told me to minus the weights I was lifting because he can tell I was pushing myself when I was not supposed to. Yep, they were that good. I been through a lot of gym, those coaches there just show you the move and walk away. Here at CF916 is totally different experience.

Fantastic experience: I checked out other crossfit gyms in my area and found that Crossfit Elk Grove to be the most professional and well maintained by far. The coaches are accredited, knowledgeable and approachable. I was fresh off the couch and never did any weight training before. But the coaches go over EVERY movement before we begin and especially helpful is they always go over all the ways to "Scale" the movement depending on your fitness level. I had to scale all the movements to the very basic skill level until I became stronger and the coaches felt I was doing them in proper form and technique to avoid injury. Also, when I have to, I can bring my 5yr old daughter with me and she can hang out in the kids area, safely away from the floor but in clear sight and ear shot at all times. Check out their website to see pictures. Plus the kids can watch their parents. It's fun to glance over at her to see her doing burpees just like me. Regular gym vs. crossfit "box"? I was a member of a large gym for years (and hardly used). Over and over I swore I would get on a regular workout schedule. And over and over I'd show up, march over to the treadmill lose interest, hit a few Nautilus machines and leave. I'd see the same people but never interact. That's when I decided to look into crossfit and give myself 3 months to try it. I was VERY INTIMIDATED at first. But when I'd go to my class, I'd see the same folks and coaches and everybody always said Hi. The coaches new our names. It's been nice over the past year to connect with my crossfit buddies and see each others progress.

Fantastic experience: I love CrossFit Elk Grove! I have been working out here for 2 years and have gotten so much stronger. The coaches are boss. They have helped me so much and are only there to help make you stronger! I highly recommend signing up at CrossFit Elk Grove.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this CrossFit. I have been going for about 2 years now. I enjoy the coaches, they are extremely encouraging and wish only for your benefit. I can do so much more now. I am feeling much better about myself and recommend this CrossFit to anyone in the area! o(^_^)o

Fantastic experience: They are absolutely amazing! All of the coaches are wonderful. They take the time to get to know you and help you, figure out what goals you want to accomplish or achieve. A very home like environment. I am very thankful that I found them.

Fantastic experience: My husband I have been members for 6 months now and we are excited to have joined as the staff are awesome as well as the members. Everyone was very welcoming the day we walked through those doors. We look forward to going to CF everyday!! If you are looking for a box to join, this is the spot!!!

Fantastic experience: I found my new home!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!! I found this place on yelp & from the reviews they were right on with the description of what to expect. I have never done Crossfit in my life, and always see my friend's post in the bay area who take it. So I decided to give this place a try and from the 1st time I attended class I knew this was a place where I would be calling my Crossfit home!! People welcome and greet whether it is your 1st day or whether you have been coming for years. Since I joined I have met 4 instructors and can say they are consistent with being very supportive, encouraging, and will guide you to good form if needed. I encourage ALL who are interested in Crossfit to come here!!!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for the best Crossfit box to work out, this is the place. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and inspirational. The members are friendly as well and we all encourage each other in our WOD's. My wife and I have been members for 6 months now and we are addicted!!!

Fantastic experience: Great welcoming vibe filled with people becoming better mentally and physically.

Fantastic experience: I just moved to the Sacramento area and I immediately starting going to CF916 since it’s local. It’s the best CrossFit gym I’ve been to by far. Large facility, great coaches, great equipment, great energy, and great members. I don’t think any other CF gym in Sac can really compete with this one.

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit environment. Plenty of options of modifications for workouts. Coaches are very knowledgeable from the movements to mobility. The owner is pretty cool too.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with very encouraging and knowledgeable trainers! Each class is challenging but with the help of the coaches and friendly members we look forward to every class!

Fantastic experience: I love the trainers and athletes at CF916! The trainers really care about your goals, your health, and your strength. I enjoy the camaraderie and group atmosphere too. Thankful I found my place!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here close to a year. Very motivating place to be. Great coaches. Everyone is a team. Great vibe. Crossfit 916 is the Best.

Fantastic experience: I joined Crossfit916 14 months ago to get in shape, Not knowing that going to Crossfit916 would have a big impact on how I view'ed my own health and wellness, The coaching staff is so supportive and I have met a ton of new friends that are like family. Going to the gym is not only fun but it's one of the highlights of my day.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, excellent coaches, and a wonderful community of people who want to better their health and fitness. I’m very happy to be apart of this gym and amongst all the great people here.

Fantastic experience: The staff and members are great. Everyone is supportive and friendly. If you are an ego maniac, please don't come, you will ruin the vibe. I am 57 years old and have been a member since January 2021. Historically, I have never been consistent at working out, but the family-like environment and opportunities to scale the workouts to better accommodate my capabilities was what I needed to make working out far more consistent for me. I will never go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Love the classes and people. Everyone is nice and helpful !

Fantastic experience: Crossfit916 has cultivated a welcoming, diverse community, for athletes of all skill levels, in a way that highlights an individual to strive for the best and to push beyond their limits of what they thought themselves capable of.

Fantastic experience: I started at CrossFit916 in Sept 2021 and have learned and grown so much. The atmosphere is amazing, so welcoming and inviting. The coaches are very knowledgeable and works with all fitness levels. I’m so glad and thankful for my second home.

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome. Everyone is friendly and the workouts are fun.

Fantastic experience: I started this CrossFit class early February 2021 I honestly can say it has changed my life. Im more flexible, l have more energy thru out the day. It has helped with my work, at home with the kids and it’s definitely a stress reliever. The Trainers are very friendly and helpful. Our workout partners are also very encouraging when they finish early they cheer you on to finish as well. I recommend this class for anyone. We all can do it!! There is a lot of modifications for every workout until we build to it, but the workout gets done.

Fantastic experience: This is the spot for all your fitness needs. Coaches are amazing. Programming is perfect for all fitness levels. But the owner is a very down to earth great person. I got a new family here for sure. Members are so helpful and inviting.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. I started after not working out for due to Covid19 and was worried about injuries. Alex took his time going over all the exercises with me.There was no judgment from anyone everyone is so incouraging and helpful. I get my motivation from watching everyone, its good to surrounded with good energy. All the coaches are very helpful ! I highly recommend this gym. All the equipment gets wiped after use.Being an indoor/outdoor facility don't have to wear a mask .

Fantastic experience: I started in November 2020 and I thought be able to do any of the movements due to some of my limited range in motion in my shoulders and back, but I can say that crossfit changed my life. Now, Nov 2021 It helped me become stronger and have more range in motion in my shoulders and I am not stiff like before. The coaches here are awesome and treat you like family, plus they always make sure you don't ego lift because they don't want you to get hurt. If the coach sees you struggling they come and help you with the movement. Everyone who comes here are nice to each other, help each other out and eventually build friendships. I'm very happy I joined crossfit 916

Fantastic experience: I starting going to CrossFit 916 back in October 2020 been going none stop since I started. The community that is there is unbelievable. The push and drive everyone has to not compete against each other but to encourage and uplift each other to finish the workout is mind blowing. I have been to other CrossFit gyms I was never welcomed in or treated like I belong there. I Love the coaches and people that attend here. Just come check it out I promise you will be loved and accepted the moment you come through the doors. But be ready to go hard and push yourself. You are the only one holding yourself back. Doesn’t matter what level of fitness background you have or don’t have. There are people at all different levels, you will fit right in.

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit gym with ample parking and a ton of great coaches. Have been going here for about 2 years now and have increased all areas of my fitness. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Just walking into this gym felt welcoming and friendly. Everyone that comes to class cheers you and inspire you to want to be stronger and faster just a great environment, and Alex has been a great coach and motivator from the moment you walk in.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Crossfit 916 is large, welcoming, comfortable, such a wide variety of equipment and knowledgeable coaches and many different skill levels of members. Whether your just starting out or a long time crossfitter this is the place for you! Love my gym family at Crossfit 916!

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility with class-a coaching. Alex, the owner, is the real deal and creates a high-challenging but welcoming & connective atmosphere. The community is positive and encouraging, no matter what level of athletic ability you come in with. All the coaches are great and the facility itself is spacious and clean. I’ve been to other CrossFit gyms before and never stuck with it until CrossFit 916. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great environment to workout in! I came in as a beginner and it was really intimidating at first, but Alex made me feel welcome and has constantly tried to coach me to be better with the workouts. The workouts are fun, and everyone encourages you and and makes it a fun environment to suffer together. :)

Fantastic experience: Where to begin? I've been a part of the CF916 family for 8 years. Seen it go from its small humble beginnings to what it is today. Made life long friends, seen everyone from top athletes, pro athletes, weekend warriors, fitness buffs, entrepreneurs who started their own boxes, to folks who just want to get in shape and be part of a community come through the CF916 doors over the years. Its truly a family atmosphere. There are no egos, everyone is helpful, welcoming and will push you to be the best version of you. No other place like it.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The coaches are very knowledgeable and professional (and eye-candy ;)) and the members are welcoming and nice... Such a positive environment to come to everyday and recharge. The workouts are fun and there's always room for everyone. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, you'll fit right in!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I joined CF916 3 weeks ago and it has changed my life in the best way possible!!! Alex is an amazing owner and motivator. The coaches are real knowledgeable and very helpful. The community is great and the workouts are even better.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit 916 in August 2019, and I will always be so incredibly happy I did. Not only is CF916 a clean environment where you'll be sure to get in an amazing workout, but it's welcoming to all and one of the most supportive and uplifting communities I have ever been a part of. The CF916 coaches themselves are seasoned athletes with a desire to truly help, motivate, and teach everyone that comes into the gym, no matter what level of fitness you're coming in with. This gym makes coming and working out something that I look forward to on a daily basis. And would 100% recommend to everyone and anyone!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit can be very intimidating as a beginner but at Crossfit916, they make sure you are well informed about the moves and take the time to make sure you have good form and perform them in a safe manner. I worked with Alex, the owner, before doing the main workouts and he was very professional and helpful. I love the environment, the people, the workouts, all of it is awesome. I even signed up my daughter, she loves it too! I look forward to working out for many many years with this great group of people. If you have ever wanted to try Crossfit, you should definitely come and workout at Crossfit916.

Fantastic experience: I felt like family from day 1. The coaches are knowledgeable and are very patient with new members. I love the crossfit community and I'm glad to be part of it.

Fantastic experience: Very good crossfit gym and community members are friendly and encouraging. If you haven't started crossfit before, they are willing to do an on-ramp program to help you get acquainted so the classes aren't too overwhelming. At the moment, there is an exclusive barbell club class on Monday evenings that focuses on technique step by step for common crossfit lifts. They really do help you break it down so you can perform the movements at your pace and progression. I started crossfit mainly due to my first Spartan race coming up 2 months after my start date. Just finished the race and can boldly say crossfit916 has prepared me well for it. I was able to do most of the obstacles on the race that involves many muscle groups crossfit targets. Needless to say, I am continuing with crossfit as having class run sessions are more motivating for me then going to the gym myself. Kudos to the Alex James and the rest of the trainers who lead the classes.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at CrossFit 916 since 2011 and I was hooked since day one! I love the high intensity workouts and the weightlifting. It’s nice to only go for one hour and get a better workout than I would at a regular gym where you have to wait for equipment, you can’t find the weights you need, and there is no one teaching you what to do to get better or correcting you on your form. At CrossFit 916 there are great instructors who are really knowledgeable and will help teach you correct technique as well as alternatives for modifying movements. CrossFit 916 has expanded to a larger location and recently undergone new ownership which has made it even better. The moral is very motivating, the workouts are challenging with a wide variety of movements, and I’ve made some of my best friends there!

Fantastic experience: Signed my husband and I up with a Groupon to try it out, and so glad I did!! Two years later and we are still here and loving it! We were instantly drawn to the friendliness and warm welcoming from the athletes and the coaches. The classes are structured and broken down step by step, or you can even do your own thing. The gym is very spacious with tons of equipment, and even a kids area!

Fantastic experience: What a great, welcoming box! I dropped in for a few classes while I was visiting home and really enjoyed the classes, coaches, and other athletes. Each class started out with the coach breaking down the WOD, then a warm-up, +/- strength portion, and ended with the workout. Everyone was very friendly! Would definitely come back again next time I’m in town!

Fantastic experience: MY HAPPY 2nd Home!! Started here at the beginning of the year and have found happiness in not only the workouts but the atmosphere, the community, the support and overall vibe. Not only was I welcomed right away but so was my entire family. Coaches and members are genuine, knowledgeable, helpful and inspiring. It’s more than “just a gym”, it’s more than “just getting a workout in”...it’s a lifestyle that’s exciting to transition into with warm inviting people who instantly make you feel comfortable and like you can achieve anything you set your mind to! I highly recommend you give it a try! Positive vibes, good people and results!!

Fantastic experience: Myself and my brother dropped in for a pre-Thanksgiving workout at CrossFit 916. Alex was an awesome host and coach. The facility was massive with tons of great equipment. Great spot that I would recommend to anyone - 5 Stars.

Fantastic experience: Alex (owner is CF 916) and his trainers create a very friendly homelike environment to veteran and new comers ro Crossfit. The workouts are scaled to one's ability. Everyone is encouraging and genuine.

Fantastic experience: First time dropping in at CG916 but the coach was very welcoming. After introducing herself she thoroughly explained the WOD. The gym is humongous (there's plenty of space) no need to worry about bumping into anyone. I would definitely recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best box in the area. I visit here a few times a year when I am in town and they are always extremely nice. The workouts are challenging! This is also probably the largest box I have ever been to (and I have been to many) with lots of equipment.
