I recent joined CrossFit Folsom after seeing many posts from a family member about her experience at a location in Oregon that completely changed my view on CrossFit members only being for crazy fit people. Not only are the workouts difficult, but the coaches are helpful and encouraging with modifications that fit individual needs and levels. More than that the other members are so nice, welcoming, and mostly encouraging. When I feel like dying I hear my fellow members and coaches cheering me and others on to keep pushing and dont give up. Such a welcoming and encouraging community to go on your fitness journey with, would highly recommend for anyone at any fitness level!

I am new to this community and all previous experience has gone out of the window. The coaches are amazing and clearly experienced as they discreetly make proper modifications to ensure I get the best workout without hurting myself. They pay close attention and push you just enough to work at your full potential. People from all walks of life are made to feel welcome. Money well spent.

CrossFit Folsom Lake is an awesome community! The programming is great, with good variety, and the coaching is phenomenal. I’ve learned so much, and gotten so much stronger and healthier, since joining. I really appreciate the supportive, encouraging vibe that the owner and coaches have built and I love being a part of it. CrossFit can be a difficult circle to break into, but I’ve seen both experienced athletes and people brand-new to the sport thrive in this gym. I cannot recommend it highly enough! If you’re looking for a new box or wanting to see what CrossFit is all about, you should definitely check them out!

Joined just a few months ago with no CrossFit experience and it’s been a blast. Well organized and all coaches are extremely supportive. I’m humbled every day. The culture is awesome and everyone is really helpful. Check these guys out if you’re looking for an environment that truly includes everyone and supports all levels of ability!

I was nervous at first to start CrossFit, but after meeting Kevin (one of the owners), my fears were quickly squashed and I started ASAP. Kevin and his wife run a professional gym that is not only conducive to learning, but also makes you feel like a part of a family. Kevin and the other coaches are highly skilled and educated and help you with any needs you may have. There are members of all ages, skill sets, and physical sizes. Everyone is welcomed and supported. Lauren is also in the gym keeping track of inventory and making sure the gym has enough equipment, and that such equipment is up to the gyms standards for use. I love this place, and the people!

I am new to the area and was looking for a great fit with great staff and people to work out with. My boyfriend saw me going from studio to studio with no consistency or motivation and suggested that I join CrossFit because he has heard great things. At CrossFit Folsom Lake, the support system and classes are exceptional, which is precisely what I need to keep me going. I love the mobility part and warm-up part of the class, ensuring that my body is ready to perform the WODS. I feel great and can see results. My overall goal is to look and feel my best long-term throughout my life, and I know that CrossFit is part of the equation.

Love Folsom Lake CrossFit!! Love how knowledgeable Kevin and all the coaches are. They taught me so much and push me to be better. I started here a month after my pregnancy and I put on a lot of weight but I was determined to get back being fit and be the best example to my kids and family. I remember not being able to do any lunges, push up and even a banded pull up. It’s been almost a year now here and I’ve made progress from doing lunges with weights, push on a lower box, and now a banded pull up, all because of the coaches there. And I wouldn’t been able to push through without the members there. I’ve always been the last one to finish but the members have motivated me and would run an extra lab to push me through. Would have never been able to do all of this without the coaches and members there. That is why Folsom Lake CrossFit and the members there has become family.

I hadn’t stepped in a CrossFit gym ever but was happy with the level of pre class instruction. They show you how to use the equipment and make sure your comfortable with the movements. All of the coaches are comfortable with giving instruction. The community is super encouraging with all ranges of fitness accounted for. If your really, really good you may even find yourself with a sticker and a quote on the board.

This place is so great! Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. Kevin is so knowledgeable and welcomes everyone to come and work no matter your skill level. Everyone shows up and works their hardest! If you’ve ever considered CrossFit, need a new workout routine, want to push yourself and work hard...come here!!! I’m so happy I did!

Just go try it.Owner Kevin has the patience and knowledge to get you through any struggles and will help you to achieve your fitness goals. He is always mindful of demonstrating proper form and masterful at demonstrating the most common mistakes. Really enjoy the new workouts each day alongside the other motivated people challenging and supporting eachother through it. Give it your best effort for a few months, you’ll either be hooked by the camaraderie here, gotten too competitive, or will have improved so much physically that you won’t want to stop. And its ok to be intimidated by Coach Jason initially, he’s a bada$$. The best of all are the results you will see over your typical gym routine.Just go.

Crossfit Folsom Lake has really made me feel at home! I joined after moving to Folsom and immediately knew this was the gym for me. Kevin and the coaches truly care about the well-being of their athletes, the programming is always new and changing, and the coaches pay attention to modify workouts and adapt for all levels.

This is the place! Kevin (owner and coach) as well as the other coaches (Kylie, Mary, and Jason) are awesome people and knowledgeable. I love going to CrossFit Folsom Lake because of the culture of the gym. It is a place I feel surrounded by friends, pushed to become my best self, and accepted for who I am. The coaches and members of this gym are the type of people you want to surround yourself with in life. They are genuine and real. The programming here is the best I’ve experienced. Kevin is highly knowledgeable in fitness and performance and you can tell with his programming. It is designed for competitive athletes to push themselves as well as first timers to learn and feel part of the crew. Can’t recommend CFFL high enough.

CrossFit Folsom Lake is the first gym I’ve ever been to that I would call a second home. From your very first visit, Kevin makes you feel welcomed and confident that you can achieve any goal you set. Everyone in the gym is inviting, always has a smile and is cheering you on to meet those goals. At whatever level you are at Kevin and team will help you adjust so that you meet your own personal goals and levels. I’ve been a part of many different gyms over the last decade of loosing over a hundred pounds and at last I have finally found a home. Who knew I would absolutely LOVE CrossFit!!

Each morning is a 30 min drive to and from the gym. Why do I attend this specific gym you may ask when I can find a gym closer to me? When I was asked if I wanted to join CrossFit I didn’t understand or know what exactly CrossFit was until I met Kevin and the team. I’m huge on customer service for any establishment I attend. When I met Kevin, I could tell he was a genuine soul who was not looking to add a membership but looking to help anyone who wants/needs the help. For that I made the commitment to myself that I can be physically stronger and mentally wiser through the help of Kevin and the team! Since then I’ve been able to improve in so many ways but most of all it’s such a joyous experience. The genuine souls starts with Kevin and the coaches and spreads like wildfire to all members of this gym. Each class is so encouraging and my most pleasing part of this gym is that it doesn’t matter where you start we all finish together. I appreciate you ALL.

I started 4 months ago with my wife and we are going to 6:30 am class. We immediately felt like home. Kevin and the coaches really integrated us and are keeping us accountable to the work outs. Every class we fill like a good workout a good balance of strength and cardio. We love it and we already see the difference in our bodies. As well we already made friends with the 6:30 class (we see each other Monday - Friday). I love to come a bit early to stretch and stay behind to drink my protein and talk with the coach. It is a life stile and we love it. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good workout in a friendly and encouraging environment. My favorite part is when the coach days: Good Job Solomon!

I started with my husband four months ago and we love it from the first day. The workout is a good quality of strength and cardio. We already made friends in the class that we are going Monday to Friday. The coaches are so encouraging and supporting working with me encouraging and pushing me. I highly recommended if you are looking for a fun and challenging workout. I admit it was hard to wake up to go to the gym but now it is hard not to go. This became the best part of may day to know that I finished my workout for the day.

Great coaches and great people in every class! The coach’s are very encouraging and detail-oriented for anyone who’s not familiar with the exercises they program. Anyone who’s thinking of getting started with CrossFit or just wants to mix their normal workout routine up should HIGHLY consider starting here!

CrossFit Folsom Lake is the gym to choose! I hear people say their gym is the best, but its hard to believe anywhere is better than what the owner Kevin has going on at CFFL. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable about the entire getting fit process, from the type of workout (great programming), to correct form (always stressing safety), to all you ever wanted to know about nutrition. Its a complete package to find the right state of health for YOU! Kevin is also a very present owner. He is at the gym almost always, is so nice, and approachable! Good news though, even if he is not there, the coaches he has on staff are also very dedicated to helping you become the best version of you. The community is what keeps me coming year after year. Over 8 years in fact. Why? First for my health. Second for the magical community. On a daily basis I laugh, complain, cheer, sweat, feel like dying, feel like a superstar, feel slow, feel fast, feel strong, feel nervous, and always feel accepted. It can be very competitive or not competitive at all and I love every second of it! Dont wait any longer - join today and be grateful every day after!

I joined CrossFit Folsom Lake in 2016.At first, I won’t lie, it was intimidating, but everyone was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The coaches are understanding and patient. They teach you how to use the equipment, how to perform the movements and they guide you through the workouts.Each class is designed to challenge you. You make the workout as easy or as hard as you like. You’ll be surprised the results CrossFit can bring you.Since joining CrossFit Folsom Lake, I’ve lost three inches around my waist, I’ve significantly increased my strength, I’m more energetic throughout the day, and I’ve gained many lifelong friends.I encourage you to contact CrossFit Folsom Lake to see if CrossFit is for you.

A great place to get in shape, not only your gym, but an extended family. They will push you to be the best you can, but do so within your comfort zone and according to your own ability level. It is certainly not easy, but you will get the results you are looking for. Not only a place to workout, but you are also given guidance on diet and nutrition if you want it. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. Come to get in a good workout, compete if youd like, make some friends and have some fun. An added bonus is the kids play area in the back, the little ones can stay entertained while you get in shape. I was a bit intimidated to walk through the doors, but there was no reason to be. Great spot.

Joining CrossFit Folsom Lake was one of the best things I have ever done. I was initially intimidated about joining, as I was worried that I was not strong enough to work that hard and that I didnt know how to do the CrossFit activities. I was embarrassed that I was very overweight, yet frustrated since no exercise or diet plan helped me to become healthy and strong again. I had heard great things from my sister who goes to CrossFit Folsom Lake, and so I got up the courage and decided to go for it. I immediately found that the coaches and community were amazing! The owners and excellent coaches, Kevin and Lauren, lead a team of great coaches and continuously foster a positive and supportive sense of community. The coaches definitely understand the importance of safety when learning new motions/activities, so I have never felt shamed into doing something that did not feel was safe for me. And, I always feel encouraged to do things that I feel are really hard, and it is so satisfying to learn that I can do it!!I am almost 50 years old, am a mother of 4, and I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life. Because of my experience at CrossFit Folsom Lake, I find that I am stronger, healthier, and happier than I was yesterday!I absolutely recommend CrossFit Folsom Lake.

Looking to be a healthier you? This gym is the place to be. Great community of people of all ages and abilities. One of the biggest misconceptions about CrossFit is that you have to be in shape to join. That is absolutely false! You do not have to be in shape to start working out here, they will help you every step of the way. Every part of the workout is scalable to make it a great workout for everyone. Fantastic owners that are extremely knowledgeable and committed to this community! Outstanding group of coaches that focus on form (quality over quantity). Try it out, you won’t regret it.

I’ve only been going for about two weeks now. I just completed my one on one sessions and had my very first group class today. It was awesome!!! If you like teamwork, people cheering you on, and coaches that push you as equally as they care, then this is the place to go! Even though my body is sore, my attitude and excitement is at 💯. I highly recommend CrossFit Folsom Lake.

I joined this gym almost exactly 1 year ago and the community made me feel at home the moment I walked in the doors. The programming is so well rounded and the coaching is awesome. Bonus for me is this gym has a special place for kids to play so I can bring them with me and still workout and know they are safe and entertained!

Amazing group of people who are always warm, friendly and inviting. I never feel intimidated when I show up for a workout. I am encouraged to do my best and only compete against myself. The coaches are awesome and always focus on quality and great form and body mechanics before moving on to more difficult moves. Cant wait to make more personal gains and friends this year!!

Kevin was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He helped me identify a full comprehensive plan of action to get where I want to be. He taught me how to modify exercises and reminded me that it was about me and not comparing myself to the person next to me. I am excited about my next two sessions and then diving right in.

A fabulous gym run by the most incredible people! Kevin is an excellent teacher, and coach, with a consistent focus on form and technique. The gym is motivating and inspiring, helping to grow you athletic and fitness abilities all while having fun. CFFL has a wonderful and inspirational community of great people. I could not recommend this gym enough!

Started the gym looking to lose some weight and get back into shape. 7 years later my fitness journey continues as old goals are met and new ones are set. You will make friends that become like family, you will do things you never thought possible both physically and mentally, and best of all you will have a ton of fun doing it. Been to a LOT of gyms across the state and even the country and have yet to find this special type of environment that Kevin, Lauren and the rest of the CFFL coaches create. I dare you to walk in the door….you won’t regret it. :)

Review №45

I’ve tried quite a few Crossfit gyms but none of them seemed to “fit” until I tried Crossfit Folsom Lake. Kevin and Lauren (owners) take the time to get to know the individual person one on one, making sure to analyze their fitness needs/level, before tossing them into, what can be for some, an intimidating situation. Their priority and focus is doing movements correctly for the greatest benefit of your long-term health instead of just rushing through a hard core workout. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in improving their overall health in a positive/laid back environment.

I love this community! From the coaches to the members, everyone is welcoming and encouraging. When I first started Crossfit I was embarrassed when I didn’t know how to do something. Kevin and his team make you feel comfortable and confident in your abilities, never have I felt bad about my performance because I wasn’t able to do what others where doing. Such a great box and ANAZING coaches

Cannot praise this box enough! Kevin is a true coach and has raised the bar for what Crossfit programming and coaching should be. He takes the negative stereotypical random out of Crossfit and replaced it with well thought out, sustainable, intelligent strength & conditioning!

I have always considered myself active and fit and like most people found myself in the usual gym routine life. Maybe I would go 3 or 4 days a week, run on the treadmill, and do some work on the machines. One day a friend said that I should try Crossfit. They talked about the community aspect of it and how it can really make a difference in your life. So I decided to give Crossfit Folsom Lake (CFFL) a chance. Going into a new gym can be intimidating and a bit overwhelming. Now add a serious workout going on with all sorts of different types of exercises and you can imagine the discomfort I felt. But immediately the owner Kevin came over and made me feel comfortable. Also, each member that had just finished their workout came by and offered a hello. What a drastic difference to anything I had ever experienced before.I have been a member for almost two years and without a doubt Crossfit has changed my life forever! I owe such a large part of that to Kevin and his wife Lauren and every member at CFFL! If you have ever thought about trying someplace new that actually works and you look forward to working out, stop looking and head right down and check it out. You will not be disappointed.

I feel very blessed and fortunate for discovering Crossfit Folsom Lake. Despite playing sports in past, understanding weightlifting and athletic movement, participation in triathlons, coaching high school sports, etc.; I just wasnt getting it done on my own and was falling further from being fit and healthy. I spotted CFFL, Googled them, filled out the online form and Kevin himself responded right away! I really appreciated his genuine enthusiasm and interest in me experiencing his gym with no canned sales pitch. From the first time we met and evaluated my current experience and fitness level to where I am today into my 4th month, it has been a Great Experience! Kevin, Kylie, Katie and coaching staff always attentive, workouts and required movements thoroughly explained and demonstrated with plenty of scaling options to avoid injury and aid progression to improved levels. Between so much support and commaradarie from fellow athletes, helpful structure, encouragement and accountability from staff, one cannot help but be constantly improving by simply showing up and giving effort. Anyone from beginner to experienced athlete will benefit from joining CFFL as long as you bring a willingness to improve and a positive attitude.
