CrossFit^® Almaden

Positive experience: I went to a trial class with CrossFit Almaden a couple weeks ago. The trainer seemed nice, he asked me about my fitness background and I mentioned I had no experience with weights and that I only play soccer for fun. He engaged me in workouts that seemed a little too intense for my liking. I was badly sore with swollen arms for the rest of the week on my triceps and was unable to carry out routine work. In the next week, my left arm started to swell more and I had to get medical help. After some tests, my doctor concluded I had a muscle tear and the workout I mentioned was a little too intense for someone without any weights experience. Now I’m waiting to get cleared medically to workout again as I was told to not workout at all till my reports were normal. I understand they make you sign a very elaborate waiver before you enroll, but I just wish they paid more attention to previous fitness history of a new client to tailor the workouts accordingly till they get used to it. They did mention that if one enrolls, they start with a boot camp and then slowly to intense workouts. I wish the trial class was also run in a similar fashion. 3 stars only because they’re really nice people and great to talk to. This is purely a critical review based on my personal experience.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best in the area, the people always polite, kind, professional, and bringing an amazing experience, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Love this place , been coming here for almost a year. Jason is an amazing trainer

Fantastic experience: Very professional! Challenging workouts & programming! Also super conscious of COVID guidelines, cleanliness and outdoor space. Whether for a drop in or extended stay, Jason and Patrick set you up for success! The community is friendly and encouraging especially for someone new in town! I have been attending for a couple weeks now and look forward to more to come. I have already picked up 2 new skill levels that I did not have prior to starting at this gym all due to being encouraged to step outside my comfort zone. I’m so glad I did! Check it out! Also, Saturday morning classes are the best part of the weekend.

Fantastic experience: Best CF gym!! Patrick, the owner, is so nice. Coaches are very knowledgeable and the people are amazing. Really felt like I was working out in a very supportive environment. 100% recommended!
