CrossFit Fortress

I was lucky enough to join Crossfit Fortress after my Olympic weightlifting coach began teaching classes there last year.
As a facility they are huge! There are constantly about 2 – 4 classes going on because they have so much space. They have boot camp, crossfit classes, crossfit for kids, spinning and Olympic weightlifting. They also recently added a locker room with showers which is great especially if you are a student from FIU going in between classes.
All the coaches are very friendly and the owner Silvio is an amazing human being! He really sets the bar high when it comes to having an amazing and knowledgable coach. He is a Marine that has been in the fitness industry for over 20 years and absolutely loves his job.
I have mostly been to the weightlifting classes with Camilo Garcia. I’ve been competing in the sport of Olympic weightlifting for about three years now and can say with certainty that Camilo is probably the best coach in South Florida. He has over 30 years of experience and has such a passion for the sport.
Overall a great box for people of all fitness levels!

Great facility, great coaches, familial atmosphere is like no other. Wide range of programs and classes. Great place to become fitter and make some lifelong friends on the way.

After a quick Google search I found Crossfit Fortress and decided to take the challenge. I needed a distraction and the drive to become stronger And verter physically fit.
Welcomed by one of the friendly crossfit coaches, Pete, I was given additional information which resulted in me taking my first crossfit class with coach Manny later that night. Talk about a euphoric work out experience. I’ve always been a very active person and gym routine workouts and even some martial arts classes have always been a part of my daily schedule.
I enjoyed his class so much that I decided to try out another class, the workouts are so intense and invigorating. You start to feel and see results right away. Everyone here wants to see you suceed. They have special mobility courses that help you with flexibility which held all around in all the designated WoDs
Hands down one of my best work out experiences. I’m already looking into returning for another «Health Retreat.» I’ll make sure to include some PT sessions, Yoga as well as incorporate some of the nutritional food plans. I can’t wait!
So for anyone ranging from first starting out to extreme fitness junkies, this is definitely a spot you don’t want to miss out on traveling to. Talk about an unforgettable experience. Too good not to share.

Great gym ! Awesome people! Great coaches, no globo crossfit here!
