Concord CrossFit

I have been on and off into fitness for years and I get easily bored without a good way to track my progress. In comes Concord CrossFit. After purchasing a Groupon for my husband and I, we tried it. I was in love after the first class. Everyone here, both coaches and members are SO encouraging and friendly. They never push you further than they know you can go, but I promise you, you can go further than you think. They are constantly doing events and contests to incorporate the entire community. They are also great about modifying if you have an injury, as my husband does. It is also one of the most affordable boxes in the area. CrossFit IS expensive but they make it worth it. Every step of the way. You won’t be sorry if you try this place.

Very friendly instructors, great for all skill levels. I highly recommend this place for anyone interested in getting a good workout.

Been here twice now and no one would talk to me! Came by myself, tried to talk to the girl in the office, who looked at me, then left the office for the gym. I assumed she was going to find someone, but after 10 min she didnt come back. I went to the gym, and she was gone. I said hello, but no one bothered to walk over-​i wasnt quiet.
Came back with my family so my daughter could check out the martial arts. Same deal. I said hello to the girl in the office, her bf looked at me and rolled his eyes, but no response. After class we tried to talk to the sensei, but she was too busy talking with the cross fitters who had just finished working out to care that we were trying to get her attention, though again we waited for 10 min.
Look, im a little too shy to make a big loud deal that im there, but I tried harder than I usually have to at businesses to get noticed! Way to make me feel like gum on the ground, thats such an encouraging environment. (Not)

My husband and I were always intimidated by crossfit’s reputation, but there was a groupon offer and so we tried. We figured if it’s not for us atleast we didn’t drop some major dough to just quit in the end. Both my husband and I were already in shape but CCF kicked our butt on the first day! We were hooked after that. After our groupon expired, we tried another box for a month but ended up going back to CCF. Their WOD’s are hard, but that’s what you expect from crossfit. The other more well– known box in the area had WOD’s that left my husband and I saying «that’s it?!». In CCF, you get your money’s worth. The coaches are great. The box is not that big but they make it work… And it does. I love this box. I love their WOD’s and love the coaches.

I love it here. (Period.) I have never been one for the gym routine, but this is anything but routine. The people and the results will keep you coming back.

I bought a Groupon for two unlimited months of CrossFit training. I just started this week and really like it! It’s not easy but a great workout. The instructors are very friendly and the other people in the class are so easy to be around. Lot’s of teamwork! I really enjoy having a set of exercises to do at my own pace. I recommend Concord CrossFit to anyone who wants to get a great workout!

Obsessed. I got the groupon for the 12 classes, and like Mike S.‘s experience did some waiting without anyone asking if I needed help. But that was my fault because I was passive and nervous and didn’t go up to anyone and ask. When I was helped the lady was super friendly. I belonged to another crossfit gym I LOVED but it got too expensive. I had high standards to say the least.
I looove my 5:30 coach and the «usuals’ that go at that time. She remembered me after only going twice and taking a two week «vacation» after (haha). She is always so energetic and encouraging. I love this gym. I went back and bought my hubby a pass and it he loved the challenge it offered v.s. sticking to his regular workout routine.

I thought I’d try this out after doing WOD’s at my regular gym with family that are actually CrossFit members. So far I’ve done two classes my first week with Bri, and am not disappointed, and my expectations were high. Bri is just fantastic, can’t say enough about her coaching. The groups are great, and I like the team approach, it’s different and competitive without being intimidating. Only downsides are that it is a small, rudimentary space, and somewhat limited class times.

I moved to the area from Los Angeles in October. I tried several crossfit gyms before FINALLY finding the one that fit what I had been accustomed to before. The workouts here are some of the best you will find, which goes along with the staff here. They are the BEST. Meg was very welcoming and answered all of my questions about the gym. I stayed and worked out the first day, and have been going ever since. Many people fear crossfit because of the intensity. This is a great gym to start at, you will not be disapointed and will never want to leave! No matter what your age, fitness level, or experience in weight lifting, this is where you want to be. There is a great balance of ages, experiences, and both genders here! You will always feel welcomed and everyone will do their best to ensure that you get what you are wanting out of this gym. If you are in the worst shape or the best shape of your life you will still find this gym to be exactly what you need. Crossfit changed my life for ever for the better. Try this gym. You will NOT be disapointed!

Awesome experience here!!! I recently wanted to try something new and all my friends have said that crossfit has changed their lives. So I thought, why not!?? I was really intimadated with the whole concept and culture, but after some Unilocal research, I chose Concord Crossfit. I liked that it was a good mix of males AND FEMALES! Love that! Megan and the other trainers are super nice. And the people who work out there are very supportive and welcoming. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend a few classes before I moved to San Francisco. I wasn’t able to finish my unlimited month starter plan. I contemplated commuting BACK to Concord after work from SF just to work out for the rest of the month, but it didn’t seem feasible. I’m super sad that I didn’t get the full month experience, but totally recommend this to anyone out there that’s thinking about crossfit. This gym is totally the place to go.
I’ll have to continue my girly Bar/​Dailey Method SF life until I find a comparable crossfit gym near my new pad.

I walked into Concord Crossfit almost 2 years ago looking for something new as I was turning 40 later that year and wanted to feel good and look good as I entered my 40’s. I got so much more than I could have possibly asked for. I was fairly confident I could not do one exercise Meg asked me to do every time I worked out for the first 3 – 4 months but because she was confident I went for it. I quickly got addicted to what impossible thing I could do next. Run a 10 minute mile? Do pull ups? Jump on a bigger box? Do a real pushup? I just kept going back for more. I forgot I was there to lose weight and look good as all I could think about was trying another WOD. After a while I did a nutrition challenge… skeptical of Paleo and in general not happy I had to eat less and workout… I dropped weight easily and got stronger. 10 lbs dropped, then another 10 lbs… how low could I go.
Here is the amazing part… I joined Crossfit Football, a strength training class just to try something new. Now I don’t wonder how low I can go I wonder how strong I can get. Now I am working on strict pull ups, hand stand push ups… dare I put muscle up on my wish list. I thought not possible until a WOD last night that worked on the possibility!
Meg is amazing and I wouldn’t have survived without her. Now Manolo is working me like never before. Bri, Michelle, Vanessa, Alex and John are always there supporting me… I couldn’t ask for more but you get it because the other Crossfitters are as amazing as the coaches!
Come to Concord Crossfit if you want to change your life and be in the best shape of your life! Two year’s in I am at my goal weight, sleep like a baby and have no injuries (ok, I have had a few stupid moves that caused myself a bruisecut but that had nothing to do with the workout). I have never felt better!

My husband saw that CCF had a groupon, so I convinced him to get it since he wasn’t totally committed to paying for a membership, but wanted to give it a shot. The first time I took him with me 6 months ago, he was in pain afterward and stated that he really didn’t like it.
This second go around, Meg helped coach him through lifts (which he loved) and then he got to partake in the burpee/​box jump + 100m run amrap wod. I honestly expected him to moan and groan about how much he still hated it even though he gave CCF a second chance months later.
Oh sure, he’s feelin the pain. But last night, he said «Thank you for taking me to Concord CrossFit with you. That work out was actually a lot of fun.»

I was very skeptical at first. I heard all the hype about CrossFit and I thought it was just a fad. My husband encouraged me to give it a try with him because he had Tough Mudder he wanted to train for. We searched for CrossFit places around the area and decided to go with Concord Crossfit because we felt we would get the attention we needed to get back in shape. First day was brutal! We didn’t know what to expect and it whooped our butt in a good way! We started off going 2 times a week and then gradually increased the number of days depending on how our body felt. It is very important to listen to your body when you first begin, ease into it. Focus on technique and youtube is your friend!
The most simple movements combined with intensity creates very challenging but fun workout! Meg and the team of coaches work with you regardless of your age or physique. Every day is a different workout so you will never get bored. Great for families with kids too. They have a kid area and teach karate as well! The coaches provide modifications on movements that may be hard to perform at first (ie. pull ups, rope climbs), but help you build to the next stage so you can eventually do it on your own. We started 4 months ago and I couldn’t lift myself off the ground on the rope climb. Today, I can climb to the top of the rope no problem!
Concord CrossFit has turned me into an addicted woman who is extremely happy with her CrossFit journey so far. I’m eating well and is in the best shape of my life. I’m motivated to do better everyday and the team helps me get there!

Might be nice if anyone was actually there to help. I am very interested in starting Crossfit due to the recommendation of a friend and have been looking at boxes in the area. I have gone to Concord Crossfit twice and both times ended up standing in the entryway, feeling like an idiot and no one asking if I needed anything! Even went into the workout area and still no one took notice. I would rather pay more for good customer service and go elsewhere than go to Concord Crossfit due to these experiences.

CrossFit in a nutshell: approach as a strength and conditioning program built on constantly varied, if not randomized, functional and scalable movements executed at high intensity.
My motto:
«Being in shape requires one thing: hard work. And working hard requires no talent»
About 4 weeks ago I attended my first class. I was feeling nervous. I had heard crossfit is a hardcore fitness challenge. I walked in with butterflies in my stomach not knowing what to expect. I was first greeted by Meg which runs the gym and who also is a certified crossfit trainer & a has a black belt in Kempo Karate.
I still did not know what to expect, and was feeling intimidated by the «WOD» aka work out of the day. I had never done a overhead, power push, jerk before. (scared) Once the class was instructed what we had to do, I was guided by Meg on body mechanics and BAM! I fell into the swing of it. From my first day experience, it has me coming back four times a week.
Everybody is very friendly and welcoming. I remember someone telling me «we all been in your place before», and it only gets better =) Everyday is a new work out so never a dull moment.
***Shouts out to Meg, Alex, Jonathan, Vanessa, and Manolo they all have the drive to provide direction, supervision, encourage, dedication, and motivation enabling you to work safely at your full potential.

Concord crossfit is the BEST!
Meg, Alex and all of the trainers are very knowledgable great at what they do.
Love it!
Hate it when I have to miss a day!
Crossfit has become an essential component in my life.
Thank you Meg!

A welcoming gym with awesome trainers. Meg and Alex are knowledgable and really push you to do your best. Once you try crossfit you will never go back to traditional workouts!
Moreover, everything is adaptable to your current level of physical fitness. I am 8 months pregnant and have been cross fitting through my entire pregnancy! Love this gym!

Me and a friend just started doing crossfit and we LOVE it. The lady Meg is so nice and so helpful. The people there are very nice. I’m still new to it all, but I can’t wait to learn and try new things as I get the hang of things. I definitely recommend trying it out. It really is for anybody all shapes and sizes.

Meg Hamilton runs Concord Crossfit and she is amazing! I came 3 months pregnant and out of shape with my doc’s permission. I had done Crossfit before at another gym and I loved it. The first thing I love about Crossfit is that EVERYTHING is modifiable. N0o matter what fitness level you are at every CF person I have met is excited that you are starting to move and they believe that you are on the road to becoming elite even if that is not your starting point. Meg has helped me modify the owrkouts so I can safely workout while I’m pregnant. I am more confident about my impending labor and can’t wait to be in better shape than I’ve been in in a long time after my delivery. A fun, family friendly atmosphere that I would recommend without hesitation to anyone. They also offer martial arts classes to all ages from 3-​adult.

Great people here. I had never done crossfit before, I was out of shape and clueless but they are more than happy to teach, encourage and cheer you through your first «hero». If you are looking for a Gym that feels more like a second family and you are not into nautilus or jazzercise, and fitness clubs aren’t really your thing, but you want to get in or keep on shape, then give concord crossfit a shot.
