CrossFit^® Cygnus

Fantastic experience: Can I give this gym a 10+??? I have been a Crossfitter for 4 years. After 3 years of literally having no encouragement, very little tweaking of movements unless I asked and feeling virtually invisible, I joined Cygnus Crossfit. From the first moment can I just say WOW???? I am thriving and not just surviving here. What is the CYGNUS Crossfit experience? The owner Jay Taheny is 100% responsive to any questions or needs. His heart and soul are poured into what is the best for his clients. Every workout posted comes with tips, videos, and written notes in ADDITION to the workout posted. The workouts are hard yet rewarding. NOT just an afterthought of 50 wall balls, 400 m run and mountain climbers. Hands down the BEST trainers in the area. There is a variety of personalities with the same impact. Each trainer assists to show the proper movements to avoid injury. They are actively engaged with the class while encouraging everyone to succeed with a little fun. While Cygnus is growing in membership it is NOT giving anything up in quality or equipment. The owner makes sure we have what we need and more. He invests non stop in new equipment and just obtained a bigger facility! The people who are fellow Crossfitters here. Kindness, hardwork, and family matter. There are NO groups, cliques, shaming. No matter one's physical limitations, size or age or ability, the trainers are NEVER inconvenienced by any of it. They happily work to give a person plenty of options. They celebrate every persons success with them! Check out Kids Crossfit, too. A truly outstanding program lead by Jana. Thinking of switching, dropping in while visiting, or looking for a place to workout? THIS is the PLACE! This is the Cygnus difference! Drop in or call ahead and I guarantee you to will also experience the "wow" factor!

Fantastic experience: I was a bro-split, too fat to body build, too weak to powerlift kinda guy. Your stereotypical “ToO gOoD fOr CrOsSFIT, YoU’lL gEt InJuReD” fitness fanatic. Begrudgingly, with my wife’s inspiration, I have attended CrossFit at two gyms including being a member of a different CrossFit Gym in the local area. It’s wasn’t for me. Eventually, I tried this new gym my wife was going to, CrossFit Cygnus. I met the owner, Jay, and after talking to him I gave it a shot. 3 months and 5 days from my sign up day, I lost 30 lbs, hit my lifetime squat PR, and made many amazing friends. I continue to go and have made massive gains in strength and cardiovascular fortitude. So if I could be made a believer and a success story, anyone can. *First Responder/Military/Health Care Worker discounts too!

Fantastic experience: I took my first ever CrossFit class in August of 2020 - Jay made sure that I knew all the movements & language correctly during my first month there. I couldn't ask for a better box, coaches and friends! Such a wonderful community for families!

Fantastic experience: I’ve just started doing CrossFit and I absolutely love this gym. I didn’t really know what the real CrossFit experience was like and I’ve found it to be really amazing because it’s like you get personal training, a sense of community and a really challenging workout all within an hour. Plus, every activity is really carefully selected from the warmup and each activity throughout the workouts. If you’ve never been before, I suggest you drop in and try it. When I did, I made the decision to sign up immediately. Jay, the primary CrossFit instructor there, has already helped me so much in working toward my fitness goals. He really knows what he’s doing and has great programming.

Fantastic experience: This is the best CrossFit gym in Richmond and I have been to CF gyms all over the country and been doing and teaching CF on and off for about 10 years. The owners are so nice, they have childcare, and the members are friendly too. You feel comfortable and welcome at this gym. If you are considering CF, I recommend at least trying this gym out because you can go for free for a session or two to see if you want to join. They also offer membership discounts for first responders, military, and healthcare professionals!!
