Red Wolf CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: I looked into CrossFit after too many frustrating "workouts" at 24 Hour Fitness (the location near my house was insanely busy, all the time). Before CrossFit I followed a typical bodybuilding workout routine and diet, and I felt like a I had been plateaued for months if not years, but after my very first class at Red Wolf, I knew that was about to change. Walking into a big new gym filled with dozens of impressive athletes can be intimidating, but I was barely in the door at Red Wolf before I was met with warm welcomes. It's like the nicest and fittest people in Orange County put out a Bat signal and met here. The gym is big and clean, the equipment is new and plentiful, and the coaches are so knowledgeable, helpful, supportive, friendly, accommodating, and fun! Working out at Red Wolf has totally changed the way I look at fitness, and I finally broke through that plateau. I've never been fitter, and I have Red Wolf and the whole pack to thank for that!

Fantastic experience: I was recently visiting Orange County and went to Red Wolf Crossfit to scope out the gym and see what they were offering. I was immediately impressed with the gym and the coaches I was speaking with. I started working out the next day and continued everyday for the rest of the week. This gym has an amazing atmosphere and great coaches that are constantly motivating you to continue through the workout. I gained a lot from the coaches during the olympic weightlifting classes. The coaches were always there to make sure you could complete the lifts correctly, then continue to advance and try to perfect every lift as much as possible. I highly recommend this gym, and will definitely be back when I visit the area again.

Fantastic experience: Red Wolf Crossfit is excellent. After our first visit we could sense the community of the gym and it's members. We dropped in for the noon class and we were welcomed by the owner at the front desk. Kelly was the coach for our class and was friendly and approachable. We would recommend red wolf to anyone that is dropping in or looking to begin crossfit.

Fantastic experience: Red Wolf is awesome! I've been doing Crossfit for about 6 months now and scoped out a few different boxes before I joined. After seeing Red Wolf I knew it was the most impressive setup by far. I had zero experience with Crossfit and they started me in the fundamentals classes which taught me the basics. Thanks Luke! For the last 6 months I have been improving everyday. I am encouraged and pushed to get bigger/better/stronger/faster everyday by the coaches and the members. I've enjoyed working out for years and thought I was in great shape until I started Crossfit at Red Wolf. This place will make you better! Also, the best people I've met since moving to the area and happy to call them friends! Drop in and check it out!

Fantastic experience: I have been at Red Wolf for a little over three months now and have nothing but amazing things to say about this crossfit box. I had transitioned to this gym from another great box and had high standards from the beginning. I was shocked at the attention to detail that all of the coaches took pride in, as well as the amount of knowledge they shared with me. I have never felt so confident while working out since I have been at Red Wolf. Adam and Matt do an amazing job of running the gym and are very professional and fun at the same time. Coaches Jae, Luke, Andrew, and Alex have unique skill sets that have allowed me to broaden my range of lifts. The member base at Red Wolf is absolutely phenomenal!!! It truly is a family atmosphere and I feel like people are constantly trying to make each other better through every workout. I love that Matt and Adam listen to their members' feedback and are constantly working to accommodate requests of their members (i.e. class times, scaling workouts) Not to mention, the Olympic lifting classes are awesomeee! Can't wait to hit some PRs. :)))))

Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful experience at Red Wolf over the last year. There's a great sense of community with acceptance of all levels of fitness and experience! There's no division between the more competitive athletes and people like my mom who joined up at the beginning of the year. Very welcoming and encouraging environment and I've made a ton of progress since being there.

Fantastic experience: As a newbie to Crossfit...I was nervous, very nervous, but Matt & Caitlin and their wonderful staff have always made me feel comfortable. They're always smiling and though the gym is full of strong (loyal) athletes everyone makes you feel welcome. I have truly enjoyed seeing myself get stronger little by little. I'm a work in progress, but I truly appreciate all their help and support!

Fantastic experience: I've been a part of a few Crossfit gyms and Red Wolf is by far one of my favorites. For me, being part of a positive community and culture is everything, and that's exactly what I get here. The owners are great, the coaches actually coach, and the members are top notch.

Fantastic experience: While I don't have a lot of experience with other crossfit gyms, I can definitely say that right now this is my favorite one. The owners and staff are amazing and I really feel like they treat us like family and they really care about how you perform the moves and making sure that you are using proper form. I am coming up on my one year anniversary here and I am so glad I joined and picked this place over another place that was closer to where I live. Thank you Matt and Caitlyn for making an amazing gym for us to come and work out at.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Red Wolf for 9 months and will not go to anywhere else. I have never been a "gym" person, in fact I have never liked working out at all. My spouse on the other hand loves the gym. This caused a sore spot when he would ask me to go to the gym with him but I was never interested. Red wolf has changed that for us. We have found a place that makes working out fun and we save time because we get an awesome workout in less than an hour. The coaches are tremendous, the members are friendly, and the workout regiment is complete and brings results. This is not just another gym, this is our home.

Fantastic experience: The gym has lots of different equipment and is a great space to workout. The other trainers are also very friendly and make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is fun, family oriented and a definite must try.

Fantastic experience: I have been Crossfitting for 13 years and Redwolf is the best box I have trained at. Matt & Caitlin have such a passion for helping all of their members reach their fitness goals. I am in better shape at 55 than I was in my 20s, all thanks to them. Join today and change your life!

Fantastic experience: At Red Wolf I learned how to move my body safely and consistently. I was able to finally enjoy exercise again. I have learned new things that I never thought I could do. I found a place where other people actually root for me and support me. My life has been completely changed and I will not go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: I am enjoying my time at Red Wolf! I’ve missed the CrossFit community throughout the pandemic. It felt nearly impossible to return while working the frontlines. From day one, I was welcomed very kindly by the coaches and members. The programming is excellent and very challenging. The music choices are superb when you’re dying in the middle of a workout, lol. The gym is clean and organized. It’s a great place to get fit and have fun. Coaches are very responsive and take an active interest in their athletes. I feel like I’ve found an awesome CrossFit home. I look forward to my fitness journey at Red Wolf #bearinthewolfden

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and community! All of the coaches are so knowledgeable and helpful. The workouts are great and the family that’s built here is even better. Thank you Caitlin and Matt!

Fantastic experience: RED WOLF IS THE BEST CROSSFIT GYM EVER! love the coaches, the people in all the classes and the way it is programed. The gym is always super clean and organized which is an added plus!! If you are looking for a new gym defiantly check out RED WOLF!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for years. Coaching staff is great. The hardest part about a CrossFit gym is just getting there. From there you follow instructions and get a great workout in. You are in and out in under an hour and sweating as if you just worked out for three hours. I can’t say enough about this gym and the coaching staff. Thanks Redwolf

Fantastic experience: The coaches here are amazing! The community at Redwolf is amazing as well. Everyone supports everyone. No matter what your skill is, their a version of the workout for you. If you put in the time and effort, then the programming here will transform your body, build muscles and improve your cardio greatly.

Fantastic experience: I am thankful that I found this gym. They offer lots of classes through the day and even into the late evening. You don’t feel pressured or judged like other places can make you feel. Booking a class is really easy, since they offer so many . The instructors are welcoming and helpful . You can tell they genuinely care for the members and treat you like family.

Fantastic experience: Red Wolf Crossfit is a great gym that offers amazing programming! The coaching staff go above and beyond ensuring good form and technique. The gym is well equipped and always very clean. Red Wolf Crossfit is also a great community filled with awesome members!

Fantastic experience: I just started doing CrossFit within the last couple of years and RedWolf was the first gym I went too. I immediately felt welcomed by the owners, the coaches & other members. I've obviously had to learn some skills & movements and I've felt so encouraged & cheered on the entire process. Since starting, I've dropped into other gyms while traveling and nowhere else I've been has the same vibe. Highly recommend trying it out!!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I go about 2 to 3 times a week and really got into crossfit to supplement my surfing. The trainers are really cool and approachable people. I am always asking them questions about how to do different movements and they answer them with a smile. The work outs always have variety and are always challenging! I leave feeling accomplished. The people who work out here are super cool and I have made a couple friends just working out at Red Wolf. This place has gotten me to become happier, healthier and more confident.

Fantastic experience: As a former collegiate athlete, it was very hard to find a workout with the same intensity and excitement. I knew starting my post career workouts I wanted to surround myself in an environment similar to what I had at school. And wow, I am so lucky to have found Red Wolf! The energy, the excitement, the competitiveness, the community, all around just AMAZING! I highly recommend this CrossFit Gym to anyone who is starting out their journey into fitness or need that extra push. I have been working out with Matt for the past month in half and I've already seen improvements both mental and physically. Such an amazing group of trainers who care about you as a person and want to see you succeed.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been through about 9 different CrossFit owned gyms and this is by far THE BEST!!!!! Hands down best run Crossfit gym on every level. Warm ups are geared completely toward workout (not just a bunch of burpees to get your heart rate up). They actually do stretching, mobility and plenty of going through the motions of the lifts. Socially you can be an introvert or as social as you like. You can get in and get your workout done or you can get involved in extra fitness challenges. Athletically you can scale or push as hard as you like. You can scale the cardio, the weight so there is no pressure to keep up if you need to scale. Every aspect of it is hands down best Crossfit experience ever. Plenty of class times, wod posted ahead of time so you can schedule your week, most amazing coaching, friendly members and staff, fun workouts and optional challenges. Overall awesomeness!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since May of this year! I have been doing CrossFit since 2016 from other box but quit in 2018. My friend Jamario have convinced me to join several times in the past. I was hesitant, because I wasn't getting any better at other box. I was doing boot camps before I came to red wolf.. I personally didn't like it because they were using CrossFit movements and didn't watch their members form.. It was very disappointing. Long story make it short, I LOVE MY RED WOLF NOW! I'm so glad I joined! Matt and Caitlin are very welcoming and friendly! Coaches here are amazing as well! I honestly feel like, I'm one of the family and they never criticize me when it comes to the workout I don't understand. Coaches are very much informed. I love our new coach Dan (he has been helping me out a lot) Bridgette and Kimberly! I have been setting PR records a lot lately. My deadlift has been going heavier, squat (I'm still working on it...) and recently did Rx workout! I'm so proud of myself, what I have accomplished. If it wasn't for red wolf.. My forms would have been still very bad and would injure myself. I highly recommend this wonderful, loving and friendly environment gym I call FAMILY!!!!!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place to try CrossFit out, Red Wolf has to be atop of your list. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced athlete, you won't have any trouble fitting in at Red Wolf. The daily workouts are all designed for all fitness levels in mind so when you leave for the day, you know you accomplished a good workout. Red Wolf's environment is also top notch. As soon as you come through the door, everyone from Matt/Caitlin, the coaches, and other attendees are there to greet you. There are no shortages of friendly hellos or people that openly introduce themselves to you. The coaches actively train and compete, so know you're getting top notch coaching and feedback. If you're unsure how to do a particular movement, be it a barbell, kettlebell, you name it, the coaches are top notch and always there to help you to make sure you are exercising safely. One of the coaches (shout out Dean) makes it a point that it's about technique and intensity before adding weight. What have you got to lose? Give Red Wolf a try.

Fantastic experience: Red Wolf is my happy place! Awesome programming, amazing coaches, and friendly members. Every workout is challenging and FUN! Highly recommend this gym to anyone considering trying Crossfit or looking to switch it up. They’re the best!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with fantastic coaches and wonderful members! Red Wolf welcomed us in with open arms and made us feel like part of the family from Day 1. They celebrate your successes and help you work through any injuries or obstacles to get you back to your best shape possible. Matt and Caitlin are truly amazing and have created a phenomenal work out environment. I would absolutely recommend this gym for all, regardless of your experience with CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: We dropped into Red Wolf Crossfit while in town visiting family, and what a wonderful experience. Everyone made us feel so comfortable and a part of the community. The workout was fun, challenging and well explained. The facility is so beautiful and impressive, if we lived here we would definitely be members. We are excited to come back any time we are passing through town again. Very highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I was very hesitant to join a Crossfit gym. I enjoy working out, but the hype surrounding Crossfit has always turned me away from ever trying. For Christmas, my husband decided to give me a month’s pass so I would have to try it. Red Wolf is the fitness family that you never knew was missing from your life. The members are awesome and the coaches are all welcoming and knowledgeable. There are no egos, just a group of people who want to improve their health and happiness. Also, if you cannot make the classes, one of the coaches could be available for individual training. I highly recommend these coaches and gym family that comes along with them!

Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit Gym by far! Excellent coaches, great team environment, and as soon as you walk in the door you can feel the Community Spirit. I especially love how, no matter your fitness level, you can participate in all of the workouts- by scaling. I highly recommended you try Red Wolf and join the Pack!

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place! When I walked into Red Wolf I knew that I had found a good gym with quality coaches, equipment and programming. The coaches are invested in every class and every person. You will be held accountable for proper movement and safety. Quality is stressed over quantity and the community is extremely helpful and welcoming. I appreciate the top of the line equipment, there were no short cuts in developing this gym and it shows. Ive been impressed by the programming as it has made me a stronger, fitter and confident athlete. I recommend Red Wolf for any person looking to get REAL results.

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit gym! Very welcoming to new members. Fantastic and spacious facility in a great location with top-notch equipment. Knowledgeable and dedicated coaches. Amazing community. This place changed my life, giving me the motivation and commitment I needed to achieve my fitness goals. I’m truly grateful to Red Wolf!

Fantastic experience: I've been to many CrossFit gyms in CA and this is a good one! The facility is so huge with lots of space while the coaches make you feel like your a part of a small tight knit group! Super welcoming and I felt right at home. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I'm no stranger to the gym and have been weight training for the past 20+ years. I was training by myself and have plateau and did not see progress. So I decided to give crossfit a try and I'm very glad I found Red Wolf Crossfit. The owner/coaches, Matt and Caitlin, and the coaching staff are experts in their craft and they really took their time to help everyone at different level of fitness to train crossfit properly. I thought I was "fit" before joining crossfit, but HA! was I wrong. In fact, crossfit humbled me because there are multiple training method that I have never experienced before. And the fun is that every workout is different and never the same. The people in this community stand out above all with many strong and fit athletes that are willing to help and cheer you on. That said, if you're looking to improve your fitness, functional movements, strength training, mental challenge, and a supportive community, I highly recommend Red Wolf.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for years now and everything has been great! The gym, equipment and facilities are all nice and clean. The coaching and programming is challenging, intense and always pushing you to be better. The members are friendly, encouraging and supportive. Overall a 10/10 gym experience, if you have any doubts, drop in and try for yourself, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Best decision I've made! I transitioned away from CF for a few years and decided it was time to come back. My old gym was no longer around and I was having a hard time finding a gym I felt comfortable at. Some were too clique-y, while the other didn't seem professional nor competent (one of my BFFs owned an awesome gym out of state, which held a very high standard I was accustomed to). Knowing they had sent athletes to the Games, I decided to check out Red Wolf and ended up joining them. Seriously, it was the best decision I've made. They are so welcoming and flexible, no matter what your skill level. The coaches want you to get the correct movement down before adding on a ton of weight, and are completely fine with you modifying whatever you need to modify. I've noticed less injuries this time around and am so appreciative of the owners and coaches at Red Wolf. Along with a change in my diet (consumption of a lot more healthy fats) it took me about six months to go from 138 lbs down to 123 lbs. Insane, as I'm pushing 40 and haven't been that lean since high school! Mahalo nui loa Red Wolf, you are all awesome! <3

Fantastic experience: Coaches are SO knowledgeable. Gym is clean and equipment is always in good shape. The members are nice and make you feel welcome. Coaches are very motivational and know what they are talking about, they are not just there to make a buck they actually care about making you better! Literally can’t say enough about this place. GREAT atmosphere, I’ll never leave.

Fantastic experience: New to CrossFit, love the workouts and the trainers here. Very good people that know what they are doing. Everyday feels like a another day to hit a new PR or to just do better. I've been considered a very fit person for a long time. But this gym has ignited new goals of fitness to accomplish, like being able to climb a rope, and that's exciting to me.

Fantastic experience: Red Wolf is more than just another CrossFit gym. The owners, Matt and Caitlin Banwart have created a community filled with heart and integrity, and of course, EPIC FITNESS. The programming is amazing, and accommodating to everyone from beginners to Games athletes...literally! There is absolutely NO EGO when you walk through the beautiful, big and open landscape of the gym. The gym is clean, and abundant with equipment. Class availability is plentiful, for all schedules. The (physical) gym can accommodate, the frequently, large class sizes that are packed with energetic and fun, friendly members! The expertise of the entire Coaching staff is superb; engaging all levels while still giving attention and cues, for personal adjustments and growth. I can not speak highly enough of Red Wolf. I knew it was meant to be my new "fitness home" from my first workout, 11 months ago! I've grown so much as an athlete in this short year. I travel all over this nation, for work, and get the opportunity to visit some incredible CrossFit Communities and Gyms. I feel very lucky to call Red Wolf my home.

Fantastic experience: We couldn't be happier to join Red Wolf just a few months back. Caitlin and Matt are so welcoming from the second you walk in the door. The training programs, coaches and facility are all top shelf. So happy to have found our new home at Red Wolf. From elite athletes to beginners, it's definitely the best place to be if you're looking to become the best version of yourself.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! Can’t say enough good things about it. The staff are all incredibly professional but also very friendly and personable. They are encouraging and give solid coaching on technique. The other members make the atmosphere friendly and competitive. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to drop in or find a new permanent crossfit team.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and coaches. The facilities are what originally brought me here over 6 years ago but the programming and the people have been such an amazing perk. All the coaches take care and time to warm you up, go over each movement, push you during the workout, and are always providing positive energy. All the members are friendly and outgoing in a challenging and fun environment. I just signed up for another year!! I highly recommend Red Wolf to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym since it’s inception. The staff is nurturing and excellent at coaching. The programming is constantly varied and designed intelligently. A hallmark of a good exercise program is the ability to progress and offer differentiation for multiple forms of ability, and Red Wolf does that quite well. I’ve been to several CrossFit boxes and I can honestly say there is no better place to workout in this area of Orange County!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Everyone is so nice and welcoming. The gym is huge and the equipment is clean and organized. The coaches are so encouraging and will work with you to scale the movements appropriately for any fitness level. I am 7 months pregnant and they help me modify workouts so that they are safe but also allow me to stay active and healthy.

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym in Huntington Beach, hands down! Being a member at Red Wolf for two years and starting as someone who never really lifted weights ever it was intimidating at first! The coaches and members at the gym were always welcoming and were always willing to give advice and push you when you needed that extra push!

Fantastic experience: THE best CrossFit gym in Orange County with awesome members and top notch equipment. From day one the coaches have given me tremendous support and continue to help me reach new PRs. The coaching is clear and helpful. Red Wolf has spoiled me rotten! I love it.

Fantastic experience: Wow! I am amazed at the progress I have made in less than a year going to Red Wolf CrossFit. I was hesitant at first because of the stigma that CrossFit can have but I was very wrong in that regard. It is safe and the coaches really prepare you for the functional movements that take place in the workouts. They are great listener and eager to teach you properly so as to avoid injury and at the same time advance you in your athletic performance. I joined Red Wolf CrossFit because I wanted a place that will prepare me for the Spartan Races, a place where I felt welcomed, heard and appreciated. I highly recommend this place for everyone even beginners like myself. Whatever journey you are in, this is the place to help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: I dropped into Red Wolf CROSSFIT today for the 12:00 class. I so enjoyed, not only the atmosphere of the gym, but also the cleanliness and very welcoming people. Caitlin was a great coach and ensured that I did the movements correctly and carefully monitored her entire class for maximum benefit of each participant. I will definitely be back for future workouts.

Fantastic experience: Visiting the Huntington area from Denver was looking for a good workout so I called a couple of gyms in the area and Red Wolf CrossFit was the only gym that answered the phone. After chatting with a friendly staff member I felt confident to drop in and get a good workout. The following day I arrived early and was welcomed by Matt Banwart Director of Training. We did a circuit of upper body lifts, overall the session was excellent and I would highly recommend this gym and if I lived here I would without a doubt be a member of Red Wolf CrossFit! Thanks for a great workout, Matt!
