Carson City CrossFit

Love this place! Expert guided workouts and lots of support no matter what level of fitness. You will become stronger and better than you ever thought possible and a very comfortable family environment! Jill and Lief Larson are the owners and they were meant to do this!

Owners are great, big open gym, lots of equipment! If you are looking for a gym with good coaches or looking to lose a little weight, you picked a good one. Jill knows her nutrition and Lief is a patient, dedicated coach.

I have been attending for about two years now– and I love it. Its worth every single dime. Not only do I feel like my body composition and physical abilities have changed, my emotional and mental abilities have too. Starting CF was the best decision I could have ever made. Carson City Crossfit has made me a healthier better person.
One of my favorite aspects of this facility in-​particular is the coaches willingness and eagerness to scale and modify workouts to each athletes abilities. Safety first!
Carson City Crossfit has…
…a welcoming and friendly environment.
… Awesome programming! Not only do they program for group classes, there is barbell club, Olympic lifting classes and mobility classes AND they offer individual training and meal planning! wow!
… coaches that are experiences professional and attentive.
Everyone should check them out!

I went to Carson City CrossFit like 4 months ago, but knew I needed to write a positive review!
I was in Carson City for work, and this was the first gym I’ve visited outside of my normal gym down in Las Vegas. I missed the last WOD of the evening, but they welcomed me to join the oly class which was just starting. They were very attentive even though they knew I was from out of town and of course wouldn’t be joining their gym. Class went great, and when it was over I had $ 20 cash to give to them for dropping in. I’m sorry I forgot the coach’s name, but he told me not to worry about it. He refused to take my money even though I kept insisting. He explained to me that crossfit is all about the community and he was happy to help me with my lifts. This is a prime example of why I love to crossfit, and why I love the crossfit community. If anyone is in Carson City, make sure to drop in! You won’t regret it or forget the experience!

I started Crossfit just over a month ago. I have never been athletic, dont like running, and the idea of going to the gym and lifting weights while dealing with the whole gym scene sounds awful. Seriously, awful. BUT I figured that now was the time to get in shape so I tried (and failed) to force myself to go to the gym. When that didnt work I hired a personal trainer, which was helpful when we were together, but on the days I didnt have training scheduled I felt like I still had no idea what to do/​how to do it. A lot of my friends in other cities have been talking about crossfit and I decided I would look into it. The price was intimidating, but it really wasnt much more than paying for a trainer I saw once a week. I decided to give it a month to see what I thought, and if I didnt like it I would just resign to being out of shape forever.
So now I’m a month in, and I couldnt be happier that I decided to give it a try.
The way it works is that you go to an hour long session on the day you want to work out-​I usually start at 430pm, 530pm, or 630pm. There is an intro workout to warm you up/​stretch you out, then you take some time preparing for the main workout. The main workout is generally a variation on a few key moves that you learn the first week with a bunch of twists thrown in to keep it interesting. I was really intimidated at first to see the workouts, but they scale the difficulty to those just starting/​those who are out of shape. Im finally getting to the point where I am doing the weight someone my size should be doing, a lot of it was practicing getting the moves down correctly. The trainers (coaches?) help you through the workout and are all super helpful. Usually there are one or two bumming around even when they arent leading the class and if they see you need help they will come over. Everyone else working out there is super encouraging too. People arent there to see and be seen like at a gym, they just want to get in better shape. Yesterday I was dying after a run (legit the worst pain I have ever felt while working out) and those who had already finished their workout came outside to help me finish. Going to crossfit 3 – 4 times a week has become part of my routine, I look forward to going, and so far I havent made any excuses not to go the way I would about the gym. My overall fitness has really improved and I’m starting to see changes in my body. I’d post a before and after but that would probably be super awkward.
ANYWAYS it might not be the right thing for everyone, but for someone like me who hates the gym dudebros grunting and girls on the treadmill in ridic outfits reading people magazine, its the perfect program to get me up, moving, and improving my body (although, full disclosure, I did high five someone yesterday and say GOOD WORKOUT BRO. SORRY). 5 stars.
