Anaheim CrossFit West

I’ve been a consistent member since October and I so glad I made the decision to try crossfit at Anaheim Crossfit West! The coaches definitely know their stuff and they’ll continually educate all the members as they teach the class (which I’m really thankful for!) All the members are really friendly and welcoming! If you have any discomfort or feel uncomfortable with certain exercise, the coaches will work through it with you by modifying the exercise and help you improve at your own pace. The environment definitely has a fine balance of making sure your safety comes first as they progressively push you to your limits! The classes never get easier for me personally but I love the feeling of accomplishment after every class! I would definitely recommend Anaheim Crossfit West to anyone who wants to improve their fitness!

I am currently visiting Anaheim from New Zealand for a few of days and dropped into Anaheim Crossfit West for a workout! What an awesome box! I emailed a day before to let them know I’d be dropping in and Lisa replied really quickly letting me know that it was okay to do so!
I was coached by Sheila — she was amazing and very encouraging when I was working out. It is such a warm and welcoming environment there.
If you’re in Anaheim this is definitely the place to go! I wish I had gone there 4 days ago! Thanks for the workout!

Had the opportunity to drop in on this box, met some real cool people and got a great workout! Definitely be coming back here every opportunity I have. Thank You Big Mike and everyone at Crossfit Anaheim west!

Came in for a drop in the other day, very friendly and spacious box! Lisa was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I’ve been doing Crossfit for nearly 4 years and it’s awesome to come across someone who can tweak and teach me something new. I loved the fact that the coaches were coaching and making sure we executed our movements correctly throughout the workout. I enjoyed my workout and look forward to doing another drop in or 10. Thank you Anaheim Crossfit West!!! I’ll be back!!!

Had the opportunity to drop-​in for a couple of days and found this box, it’s coaches and members to be absolutely amazing! The box is big and spacious and the coaches were very knowledgeable, helpful and motivating. The class schedule was very accommodating for those on the go or on a very tight schedule. I highly recommend this box and will definitely be returning when my travels take me back to the Anaheim area. Big thanks to Lisa and the rest at ACW!!!

I usually don’t have the time or energy to post reviews but I have to give credit where it is due. Just moved to Anaheim after living in Laguna all my life. It was a little challenging finding the right places for a gym that fit my work and school schedule. Started going here after finding them on Groupon (I’m in college guys. Lol) but so far I have never felt more at home than anywhere else. Everybody helps each other from beginners to the ones that compete and the owner, Lisa, responds to questions/​texts/​calls/​emails as soon as she can which is usually just a few hours if she’s not busy. She’s very professional and patient in dealing with new members and we all know too much questions can get annoying. Lol. I suggest checking them out! If a weakling like me with a full schedule can do it so can you! No excuses! Will definitely consider staying for a long time if my schedule allows me or if I don’t move cities anytime soon. Keep up the great work guys!!! Even as I told my boyfriend about them he gets all excited to come home from deployment and check them out! Call Lisa!!!

I wanted to wait a bit before writing a review to ensure I can give a fair review.
Let’s start with saying i HATE gyms, working out and egomaniacs that can often be found in various fitness studios.
Anaheim Crossfit West, is not a gym, it’s really a community. The have warm ups, WODs and weight lifting-​not just a simple/​boring workout. The best part is no one that I’ve come across is too good to say «hi» and help you in the most genuine manner. No creeps, mean girls or show offs.
Unlike other places the coaches are great-​they push you but aren’t in your face. They are all aware of your individual needs and possible restrictions. I have heart condition and was very concerned how I’d perform some of the WODs but luckily the coaches have helped modify and give me options so I can still get the best work out possible without affect my health. It’s about safety as well as pushing yourself daily to your full potential.
Best part, several of my friends noticed that not only that I looked slimmer but more toned. Best compliment ever, thanks to Anaheim Crossfit West!
Affordable if your sign up for longer term membership, great community, hard but worth it at the end work outs and just overall amazing atmosphere.

GYM: The box is ample and relies on about 5000 sqft of workspace which can simultaneous accommodating both an Olympic lifting course and CrossFit WOD. The rig is on point and can be loaded on all sides including the center. The box offers all flavors of gear from ropes to climb, sleds to pull, the basic rowers to Olympic platforms and everyone’s favorite; airdyne.
COACHES: The coaches have diverse backgrounds ranging from CrossFit, Olympic lifting, boot camp and personal training. They are approachable and can address all questions from mobility to technical development.
PROGRAMMING: The programing is scaled to accommodating the seasoned Rx athletes, the beginner and those looking to compete. Its important to note the focus on the foundations here. Not all gyms have a foundation course and this should be one of your most critical points before committing to any box. No shark bait here!
CULTURE: The culture of the gym is based on teamwork and support. No macho you got to hit «x» numbers to join club. Here you’ll find an encouraging atmosphere to grow into them gains but don’t confuse things either. There’s no babysitter here. You’re teammates/​coaches will encourage you and push you to help you achieve your full potential but you have to put the work in.
NOTE: I have been at Anaheim CrossFit West now for 2 years and my review is based on my in house experience as well as that taken from dropping into other boxes. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete looking to make a box jump or a newcomer to CrossFit the points noted above are elements you should highly consider before making a commitment.

I’ve tried a few trends of fitness, (P90X, Insanity) regularly went to a gym for a year and a half, and although I felt healthy and more fit, the results weren’t showing it. So a friend introduced me to Anaheim Crossfit West and My mind and body have both started to transform into something great. I owe it all to Anaheim Crossfit west. The coaches here have helped me to overcome my fear of weights and guided me to be more fit. If you feel you can’t do certain movements, don’t be afraid, they will modify the workouts to better suit you, and eventually you’ll be able to do them, if you’re up to it. I was never able to do pull ups, hand stand push ups, climb a rope, and struggled with a lot of the weight lifting. After four months here, they helped me to do all of that, and I plan on doing more. Don’t hesitate to try them out, they’re friendly, helpful and encouraging.

If you are anywhere near the Anaheim area this is the box to visit. Great group of people and hard/​fun workouts… they do not slack at this box. The owner is the freaggin best and they have the best shirts out of any box I’ve been to.
Do yourself a favor and visit!

Dropped in with my husband and a friend! Very friendly atmosphere. Great facility and really good coaching. Definitely recommend this box to anyone on vacation to Disneyland!

I have only been here around 4 times but I just can’t wait to let you all know how wonderful this place is. I ll keep it simple and tell you why this is the right crossfit gym for you:
1. Lisa (owner/​coach) is extremely knowledgable and very patient to go over the steps and the basics with me. (Just so you know I have very little experience at the gym)
2. The place is clean and filled with motivated coaches and gym members.
3. The WOD (workout of the day) that they have. It will kick your ass, I mean in the good way. At the end the day, you will be glad that you do it.
4. Membership fee is very competitive and reasonable.
5. Flexible class schedules. I am working 5 days/​week and there are always classes available for me to take.
6. I can keep going on and on about how excellent this gym is but I know you may not have the patience to read all of it. Get off this site and call Lisa. She will take care of you.

Great place for a drop in. Friendly coaches, very welcoming!

This place is great! They have a lot of new equipment. The programming is very well structured. I’ve had the opportunity to work out with only two coaches. The first is Lisa– she’s very supportive and very direct which I appreciate! The second is Mike– he’s by far the best coach I’ve encountered. He works hard and is an inspiration to all! He’s taught me how to believe in myself and how to just go for what I want! He’s made me strong inside and out!
Prices are EXTREMELY reasonable as you definitely get what you pay for.
If you’re in the neighborhood. STOP BY! no matter what level athlete you may be.

I train and gain here!
We all push each other to do better, compete, eat right (or wrong whatever), focus and have fun. The atmosphere here is stress free and welcoming. Once you go through the fundamentals class and do a full WOD you’ll hate it, but then you’ll come back for more. That’s just the nature of Crossfit.
They offer an Olympic lift class which is at no extra cost and is taught by some beefy dude. I can honestly say the Olympic lift class helped out A LOT with moving heavier weight faster, safer, and more efficiently and also understanding how to work supporting muscle groups and why that’s important for everyday/​long term mobility.
They also sell Progenx protein, Fit Aid recovery drink, Kill Cliff bars (salted caramel almond is my fav.) and recovery drinks (developed by a navy seal), coconut water, rainbows, unicorns, gains, t-​shirts, tank tops, hoodies, etc. They have 2 showers and plenty of room to store your gear.

You will get stronger, leaner, harder, faster, better, learn new things, and do things half of your friends and family can’t do like clean and jerk 135 lbs. or double unders, kipping… you’ll get it once you join. I’ve met lots of people from different walks of life here and they’re all my family. I thought crossfit sounded cultish before I started, but it’s more like we’re all fans of each other’s success in the gym and in life.

I started here about a year ago! From then till now, I have seen a great difference, from management to coaches! I love the gym, the family like atmosphere and more. The coaches are amazing. Breaking each movement down to the basics and really working with your abilities to move past your weaknesses. This is a great places with great people and I look forward to going everyday!

I met Lisa, the owner, last year when she was training me at boot camp in Irvine. We had an instant connection on a teacher/​student and friendship level. I have learned so much about proper lifting and fitness from Lisa. I was super nervous and ecstatic to try Crossfit for the first time at Anaheim Crossfit West. When I walked into the gym, everyone was so genuinely nice, warm, and friendly. I thought 5 foot petite me would feel very intimidated by the strong lifters. I was completely wrong. After learning the proper moves and finishing my first Crossfit class, I am confident I can do Crossfit. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for a friendly atmosphere, nice and clean facility, knowledgeable and experienced trainers. Oh I forgot to mention that the workout was really fun too. The 1.5 hours went by so fast. I can’t wait to take another Crossfit class.

Great location, great facility, great value, great people, flexible schedules… What else can you ask for? I saw a tremendous transformation in myself after 6 months of working out here. They really do produce results!
