Training at CrossFit Mountain Island has been an absolutely wonderful experience! Coty and Noelle (Owners) are extremely knowledgeable coaches who are always eager to help and share information. (Coach Megan is awesome too!) The environment in the gym is a supportive and encouraging one that always makes you feel comfortable. Ive made so much progress thanks to everyone here and Im excited to keep going! I would recommend CrossFit Mountain Island to anyone looking to improve their physical health regardless of where you are at in your fitness journey! Thank you Coty and Noelle for offering so much value each day, being amazing coaches and genuinely great people :)

Ive been going to CrossFit Mountain Island for just under a month and my experience has been nothing less than top notch. Coaches are attentive to my needs and focused on helping me excel while avoiding injury. I was welcomed with open arms by staff and members alike which is a totally new experience as this is the first CrossFit gym Ive visited. Wanna feel great, get stronger and find a second family? Come to CrossFit Mountain Island!

CFMI is just all around amazing. I was nervous when I started almost a year ago but the owners and members helped me feel welcomed. I dont feel alone in my workout journey and they treat you like family. The coaches are very knowledgeable and know how to alter workouts for beginners to pros. I absolutely love it at CFMI

Having let myself get pretty out of shape over the past couple years between a hectic work schedule and then COVID, I was definitely needing to get back into a fitness routine. I took advantage of “bring a friend week”. At the end of the week, I took the plunge and joined. The coaches (also the owners, Coty and Noelle) are great. They provide more than just a place to work out and coach led group workouts. They are committed to each member in helping them get better every step. Classes are more than just a WOD. We are actually coached in technique and form, educated in physiology and guided with nutrition. A level method approach is utilized here that assesses your abilities. Allows you to workout within your abilities and build over time. It is a great way to be your own person and motivation to build, progressing to higher levels as you get stronger at your own pace.The atmosphere of the gym overall is also great. Everyone supports and encounters each other. Members turn into friends. This also extends beyond the walls of the gym itself. Each month there are outside social gatherings and community involvements. This gym becomes more than just a gym.

I choose Mountain Island CrossFit because I heard the owners have a vast knowledge in sports injuries and they could help get me back into shape. I have been working out with Coty and Noelle for about 10 month and I am no longer limited by my past injuries. I feel great! Thank you Coty and Noelle!

I have joined crossfit mountain island few weeks back and already love their programming, coaching and how they keep members engaged.They have recently started with new level method which test our levels in different crossfit movements. This is very insightful since we know where stand in terms of weakness and strength. I’m excited for my fitness journey here and see myself grow stronger, better. Noelle and Coty are great coaches and can always reach out to them if you have questions or need help.I highly recommend this gym and wish only good things to come for the gym and community.

Love going Mountain Island Crossfit! Been going here since February and already notice a difference in how I feel and look. The coaches and members have been especially helpful in motivating me to complete the workouts and improve my form and coordination. Everything from the gym itself to the workouts are very well organized and planned. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to push themselves into becoming healthier and building their confidence.

I’ve done CrossFit like many many years ago. I had to relearn some of the techniques and i still am learning. I am 3 weeks in and I love it. The coaches are great and they just won’t let me quit for nothing even when i feel I have nothing left in me. They make me feel like Wonder Woman too when in my mind, i feel like I’m not even doing nothing. They’re always like good Shanna, you rocked today or you did great! Makes me feel very accomplished. Great place to come workout even if you’re not all that in shape you can still enjoy.

I can’t recommend CrossFit Mountain Island enough. I was hesitant at first. I’ve never done this kind of workout and I knew absolutely nothing about nutrition, but the coaches made it incredibly easy for me. They modified my workouts, helped me learn techniques to better myself without risk of injury, gave me plenty of guidance on how to make better choices in my eating habits, and always gave me that personal attention during classes I needed. There’s definitely a sense of community within its members and coaches. Everyone is there to help each other succeed and push each other when we need that person behind us. I’ve seen a huge positive change in my mentality and appearance since I starting coming here and I have everyone at CFMI to thank for it.

I am totally new to CrossFit and havent truly worked out properly in years! The coaches are super nice and always willing to work with me to modify my workouts.

You should come join us because Im certain if I can do this.....anybody can!

You’re missing out if you haven’t tried out CrossFit Mountain Island yet... Coaches are amazing!!! It’s been almost a year of working out there and not only have I gained new friends that share the same fitness goals, but they have become my 2nd family;)

The folks have been great here. Owners, coaches, and fellow workout enthusiasts. It’s not just a place for fit folks, but for everyone that wants to feel fit. It’s up to me how hard I push, or how fast I want to go and stay away from injuries. They’ll modify the workout depending on what I’m capable of today, and still feel accomplished when the hour is up.

I’ve been a member at CFMI for a little less than a month. My sole intention when i first came was to just see what it was all about because i had heard about crossfit but didn’t know much about it. After my one on one with Coty i was sold immediately. Throughout the classes him and Noelle have been amazing in helping me with my form, pushing me, and making an effort to introduce to me to the rest of the family, so that even as the new person i never felt left out. I haven’t even begun to utilize the rest of the benefits the gym has to offer yet and I already couldn’t speak more highly of this gym and team

I DID NOT think CrossFit was for me. I cant do box jumps, burpees, or pull-ups... YET! My husband (gym member) kept encouraging me to check it out, but honestly I was very intimidated. I have tried diets, popular gyms and several trainers at different points in my life, all with little success or sustainability. I finally got to a point where I conceded to just go see because I was running out of options and feeling majorly defeated. Im so glad I did. (Insert misty eyes here) My initial conversation was a little vulnerable, but eye opening. The coaches showed me exactly how I could modify so many typical CrossFit movements to fit my current abilities. I thought I COULD DO THAT! Just about anybody could do that! Dont get me wrong, its hard. Its the hardest Ive ever worked! But the coaches are AMAZING. Theyre informed, attentive and encouraging, but they also CARE, so much. This is not just a paycheck for them. They are motivated by compassion and committed to seeing you succeed at every level. Side Note: This gym is a drive for my husband and I. But the community and coaches are what we keep coming back for, it feels like HOME. Im only in my first few moths (I do PT every week) but I can honestly say for the first time in my life that I actually LOVE working out now. I never thought I would say that. I have so much HOPE. I struggle for sure and its not always pretty, but I am confident in knowing this: Im fully supported and equipped to reach my goals. The only thing that can stand in my way at this point is me. To the person who thinks CrossFit isnt for them... just go see. Itll change your life.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Crossfit Mountain Island. At first, I was uncertain about my abilities to do Crossfit; however, I quickly overcame my fears with the welcoming atmosphere and supportive coaches. The coaches do a great job at modifying the workouts to accommodate my skill level. The owners, Coty and Noelle, have established a gym community that embraces all members with a variety of athletic abilities.

I reached out to this gym on a whim because its close to my house but after meeting with Coty for an assessment I signed up the same day. Ive never been a gym rat and sometimes I still cant believe Im doing this because its so unlike me. What I can say is that in 3 months Im stronger, faster, and more flexible. I sleep better at night and wake up more rested. I actually look forward to going to the gym. Its physically the toughest thing Ive ever done and I still have a long way to go but the coaches are great and I think this is something I can actually stick with for the long term.

I cant say enough wonderful things about this gym. i was in a serious rut that I needed help getting out of. I started out with a membership including nutrition and classes and it was just what I needed to get a jump start on a healthier lifestyle. I was really intimidated to start based on the Crossfit name - but not only do the coaches help you modify the workout to fit your abilities, they insist on it. Safety and injury prevention is very obviously a key priority. My fiance and I workout together and despite having very different abilities, are each able to get a really challenging workout. Even through COVID, theyve provided a variety of remote training and workouts with consistent check-in to keep everyone accountable. Without this, I definitely would have fallen victim to the COVID 19 lbs. Instead Ive lost weight and gained muscle. Its really more than just a place to get a workout. Coty and Noelle are focused on all aspects of physical health and genuinely interested in helping people achieve their goals.

I was nervous to join and do something totally outside of my comfort zone, but the coaches and even some long-time members truly come through to encourage and teach in a way that leaves me with a sense of accomplishment and increased confidence in myself. This in turn leads to a determination to keep coming back. Great people! Highly recommend.

I have been able to learn so much about myself since being a part of CrossFit Mountain Island. Its a challenge, and it gets tough, but I never feel like Im drowning because someone is always by my side to encourage and uplift me. Everyone is so helpful and kind and willing to go above and beyond to help me succeed. I walked in expecting to become a part of a fitness center, but I walked out as a part of the CFMI family.

Ive only been here two weeks and felt like I was at home after a couple classes. Opportunities are endless and youll never feel pressured. Give what youve got and when you dont know what to do with what you dont have they will assist you in modified movements to help get you there.

What I like about CF Mtn Isle- I dont feel intimidated and I dont feel I am in competition with anyone but myself. The members and coaches are warm and welcoming and make me feel at home from the moment I walk through the door. The coaches are so in tune during the workouts and are determined that you will have your form correct and the method down before trying to throw a lot of weight on your bar. Everyone is encouraging and helpful and I get an amazing workout. I ca already tell a difference in how my clothes fitting and a huge difference in my mood and energy level. If you are looking for a CF home, then this is definitely the one for you. Sidebar- I live in Rock Hill and there are so many CF gyms closer to my home than this one, but I am happy to drive the extra distance for CF Mtn Isle!! That should tell you something :)

This gym and community have impacted my life in so many positive ways. Coty and Noelle do an exceptional job of creating an environment that is inviting, inclusive, caring, and of course challenging. There is no area of wellness that is left out. Physically Strong, Mentally Tough, and Spiritually Sound isn’t just a mission statement at CFMI, it’s a lifestyle. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, I would highly recommend giving this gym and community a shot, we love it when our family grows!

If you are looking for a gym that offers a personalized experience - this is the right place. Josh Hoke and his staff evaluate your current fitness level and then work with you to determine the best approach to achieve your fitness goals. Unlike other crossfit locations, this one focuses on safety and form first! This prevents injuries and also allows you be consistent with your attendance. The customer base varies in fitness level and all newcomers are welcome.The best way to evaluate a gym or box is not based on a review but to attend. Contact them for a intro class and it is easy to see why the membership has steadily grown since their opening.

CrossFit Mountain Island is the perfect place to workout! The trainers (Josh, Kelly, Jimmy) are not only well educated and certified in all aspects of CrossFit they also provide a motivational, competitive atmosphere that I enjoy when I workout. All the members treat each other like a family which really helps when going through one of the challenging workouts of the day. Ive been a member for about 4 months and I look forward to it everyday I attend.

Great Facility and a fun atmosphere. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. I used to hate walking into a traditional gym but this has been very different. Whenever Im out of town I feel like Im missing out on a great workout and a great time, and that is coming from someone who is definatly not a gym rat.

CrossFit Mountain Island coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, and safety-conscious. The atmosphere is friendly and motivating. The CFMI community welcomes anyone interested in working hard and challenging themselves, regardless of their experience or skill level. The facility is well-equipped with all the amenities needed if you are working out on your way to or from work.

Crossfit Mountain island is amazing. They take the time to sit down with every member upon sign up to review their goals, their history and their current status. I’ve been to a lot of boxes in my Crossfit career and this is the first one that’s truly taken the time to make sure I was in the right place and they would really help me focus on getting to where 8 want to be without injury or burnout. The coaches are knowledgeable and skilled, they all take the time to make sure you modify correctly for your skill set and keep an eye on you during the WOD. I’d send anyone who’s new to the sport and those who are experienced to Crossfit Mountain Island.

I highly recommend CrossFit Mountain Island - the coaches do an excellent job at pushing athletes to become stronger through great instruction, proper technique, and WOD planning. The facility is well equipped and easy to get to and the member/athletes are amazing. If youre looking to mix up your workout routine, and youre ready for something that is inexplicably fun (but extremely challenging), try CFMI.

I was super skeptical about crossfit but took a chance & joined a 6 week challenge (talked into it by my boyfriend) to test it out. We have absolutely loved every minute of it & became full time members when we completed the challenge. I am a true “girly girl” and worried this wouldn’t be for me, but Coty has coached me & given me so much confidence. I instantly felt welcomed & at home in a totally new experience. Through the coaching & teamwork, I continue to surprise myself with what I’m able to do. I have tried multiple different gyms, most recently Orange Theory but just wasn’t staying motivated & seeing the progress I wanted to. In the 3 months I’ve been at Coty’s gym, I have gained muscle, lost weight and most importantly just really enjoy going (and who can say that about a gym, right?) I whole heartedly recommend this gym to my friends, family, strangers who will surely become friends here, etc. So, if you happen to be a girly girl like me, come on... it’s fun (and I still wear my makeup to class) 💁‍♀️

Coty is not just a great athlete but great guy. Crossfit can be intimidating but Coty is so knowledgeable when it comes to making modifications that not only protect your health but to also help you advance as a athlete. I have been doing crossfit for about six years and it’s all about the community and having fun and this place is rocking.

Under new management, and it just so happens to be one of the best CF coaches in Charlotte. Coach Coty was trained for years by, in my opinion, the most knowledgeable CF owner in town (CF Weddington), and Coty now brings an advanced understanding of programming and functional physiology up to Mountain Island. Meaning no disrespect to the old regime, CFMI is about to get its game on!

I started at CrossFit Mountain Island 3 months ago when I decided that bodybuilding had become boring & a chore. Wanting a clean slate, fresh scene, & some new faces in my life I walked into CFMI not exactly sure what to expect. Never have I walked into a new place & not felt a little lost, but I was not lost I was found & greeted by HUSKIES! Coty is an amazing coach/human in general & he made sure I was taught every movement thoroughly before the workout & through the entire WOD with all the patience in the world. I WAS HOOKED, I tried a couple class times, made a bunch friends/family, & finally found my 100% happy place where I have spent countless hours at every Monday through Saturday since. I feel as though I have made the best decision of my life & could not be more grateful for Coty, Grace, & Rob’s continued efforts/ faith in me. Everyday I am hungrier for the next WOD & the adventure of achieving new things (first rope climb to learning to CLEAN & PRing at 110lbs!) CrossFit Mountain Island has supported me through failures, accomplishments, & always pushing myself harder, they firmly believe in never giving up on yourself but they won’t give up on you either!If you need a change in your life, a new routine, or just a good place to call home with some seriously awesome people give it a try you’ve got nothing to lose but a lot of GAINZ to be made.

CFMI and Jordan have made me look forward to working out again!

Crossfit Mountain Island is an amazing place to work out, relieve some stress, get back in shape, improve conditioning, or challenge yourself to do new things. Over a 6 month time frame I’ve lost weight, leaned up, and improved in almost every single major lift, movement, and bench mark workout.The programmed workouts take the guessing game out of what to do, the group classes provide a great environment for support and motivation (and meeting some awesome people!), and the tracking system allows you to concretely track your progress and improvement.When I changed jobs and had to move my workouts to 6:00 am in the morning, I didn’t know how or if I would be able to keep it up, but since joining CFMI I can say one thing: I look FORWARD to getting up and working out EVERY single day!If you’re searching for a place to get in shape or push yourself to new limits, call Jimmy and give Crossfit Mountain Island a try! Did I mention that Friday warm-ups include Ultimate Dodge ball? ‘nuff said!
