CrossFit 717

Fantastic experience: Words can't express how amazing this place is! I will NEVER join a gym again. 717 is all you need. There is something there for all fitness levels. After completing my beginner crossfit classes I decided to start taking a class called Sweat Shop. I was not sure if I was 100% comfortable with the heavy weight lifting part of crossfit. Sweat Shop offers a highly intense workout that offers everything you can possibly imagine without some of the heavy lifting that is done in a more traditional crossfit class. Fear not, this class is no joke. It is ran by great instructors who will make sure you are getting what you need from the class. It will also build your confidence (and strength) so that you are not afraid to try all of the classes offered at 717!!! JOIN NOW

Fantastic experience: Greatest thing I have ever done in my life was join this box. I have transformed my life in the past 4 months. The coaches are patient, kind and understanding. They are easy to understand and work with you to make sure you are doing moves with proper form. As a runner, crossfit has transformed my running. I am now running paces I have never ran, ever in my life. The community feeling is like none other and I truly feel like the coaches and members are family. Keep up the great work

Fantastic experience: Crossfit 717 is AMAZING! There is so much to say that I do not even know where to begin. I have been crossfitting there since May and I PROMISE you my life has been completely changed! The coaches-I was terrified at first of crossfit in general. After some research and discussions my husband and I decided to give it a try. I was AMAZED at the level of support I received from my very first class. The coaches there are top notch! On my second night in the beginners class, I was having a bit of a struggle with an exercise, and that coach was right there to assist. Not only did he assist me with the actual movement, he gave me a thirty second pep talk (thank you JK) that just inspired me tremendously. The coaches there do this all the time. They are intuitive, they know what you need and when you need it. After that class- I WAS HOOKED! Every coach at Crossfit 717 has made a difference in my life and every coach has something to offer. I feel truly blessed to be coached by them! The box-well if you check them out online or stop by you will see, its awesome. The layout is perfect, its clean,and large enough so that you feel safe during your WOD's. The Oly room is a great addition from the last box ( and the Oly coach is simply AMAZING). Overall-this will exceed any expectation you have-PROMISE! The people-Crossfit is known globally to be an excellent community of like minded individuals, and Crossfit 717 is no exception. From the very first class you will feel welcome. The Crossfit 717 crew is not just a group of people that workout together- they are a family. They constantly are there for everyone, no questions asked. They are there on your good days and your bad days, and in typical Crossfit fashion, they know just what to say and when to say it! I love the feeling of being pushed beyond what I think I can do, surrounded by friends, who are just as happy that I am able to do it! The workouts-TOUGH. However, you must remember that everything can be scaled down with Crossfit. What this means is that ANYONE can do the workouts. The first time you hit a PR or are able to do a strict pullup or rope climb you will feel unstoppable! The programming at Crossfit 717 is awesome. You will not be dissappointed. Overall, Crossfit 717 has changed my life dramatically. Not only have I made tremendous gains athletically ( could not even do a sit up when I began!!!), I have a great community of people to share these things with. My confidence level has increased tremendously as well. This place really makes you feel like the sky's the limit!

Fantastic experience: Visited 717 for three days on a work trip. I was amazed at the hospitality and friendliness of the coaches (especially Scott! (Hobbs)). Nice big box with great equipment too.

Fantastic experience: The community built at the CrossFit 717 box is the direct result of the dedication of the owners and coaches. Yes, they will construct a demanding WOD that will leave you on the floor, but it's more than that. From mobility to nutrition sessions, from focused skill sets lasting weeks to in-house competitions, you can find everything you would ever need or want at this box. Moreover, if you ever need special attention or want to work on specific technique or need help, the coaches will always take the time to work with you... just ask! I've been attending classes for almost two years now and have seen the box grow to fit everyone's needs. Additionally, my line of work requires travel, allowing me to visit boxes in other parts of the country and the world. While all boxes have their nuances, between the size, equipment available, and the attention paid by the coaches, CrossFit 717 shines above the rest!

Fantastic experience: I've been taking crossfit classes here for about a year. A lot of the skills are new to me but the coaches demonstrate the exercises before each class and help with questions/form corrections so I've been able to overcome the initial nervousness and self-doubt I had as a newbie. The coaches John and Jeff are very knowledgeable and welcoming. There are people from all fitness levels in class and they accomodate them all. I just participated in my 1st community event with them and it was so fun. Thank you for providing a a welcoming atmosphere and making crossfit feel approachable.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area. Great coaches, members, and owners making it an enjoyable place to workout.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, great facility, and great people! I started my CrossFit adventure here in 2012, and always try to come visit when I'm back in town!

Fantastic experience: Great place to get properly trained.

Fantastic experience: Only gym/fitness program that I have been able to stick with for more than a month. Have been going every week for almost 3 years now. Coaches are fantastic.

Fantastic experience: After 6 weeks of consistent SweatShop classes and being coached by the instructors here, I can safely say it's an experience unlike anything else I have experienced. The classes are challenging, yet enable you to learn more about your limits and overcome them. The instructors are tough, yet informative and very supportive. Lastly, the experience has left me 13lbs lighter and has thoroughly boosted my endurance. I would recommend CrossFit 717 for any skill level, whether you're a newbie in the gym or a time tested gym rat.

Fantastic experience: It’s a great program with great people. The workouts are challenging but you will get into great shape pretty quickly if you follow the diet and put in the effort. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Great place, professional coaches and staff. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Being a college athlete I've spent a lot of time in gyms over the past 15 years so I wasn't sure about starting crossfit. I joined Crossfit717's 6 week sweatshop program and I can say that I was truly impressed. I dropped 21.4 lbs going just three times a week and watching what I ate. The coaches are very friendly and eager to help you through the classes. I would recommend Crossfit717 to anyone, no matter what your skill level. It was a lot of fun being around a group of friendly people trying to obtain their goals as well.

Fantastic experience: This is the perfect place to work out! I wanted to find a gym that would provide an opportunity to build strength, endurance, and nutritional guidance. After just 6 weeks of joining, I have become stronger, healthier, and full of energy. My diet is clean and I am actually excited to get to the 5:30am classes. I appreciate the expert coaches that provide motivation and proper training tips.

Fantastic experience: Walking in the first day I was very intimidated , but was pleasantly surprised. The coaching staff is super knowledgeable and friendly explaining and demonstrating all the exercises. This program has couldn't have come into my life at a better time as was to the point of just settling with my body the way it was. I have become stronger both mentally and physically through this program

Fantastic experience: Very good workout!! I love the sweet workout the best for my body... can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! The coaches are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and the members are friendly and supportive. Every class is different, so you don’t get bored doing the same thing over and over. I’ve done both the regular Crossfit classes and the Sweatshop classes, and both will give you a great workout! Crossfit 717 will help you reach your fitness goals, no matter what your skill level. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: This place literally changed my life! I found it hard to lose weight, since coming here I lost weight fast, gained muscle and found motivation to live a healthier life style. I also have more energy that lasts all day and more motivated in life overall. Also I was never a morning person, now I am excited to get up in the mornings for my 5:30 am class; I think I am slowly becoming a more person- love. love. love that idea! Best gym ever!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, super authentic, great owners, good community. Went for a fundraising event with a group of people from my home gym!

Fantastic experience: I originally went to Crossfit 717 only to register my 17.4 Open workout but after meeting some of the coaches and checking out the gym I immediately signed up. Their prices for unlimited classes cannot be beat. Stop reading this review and join.

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I stopped on our way through from CT to TN facility was great and everyone was extremely friendly!
