CrossFit Palm Springs

This is my second review for CFPS, but a lot has changed over the last few months, and so an update seems appropriate.
The gym has changed ownership. Matt is the new owner, although he has been coaching at this location for long before that. He has cultivated strong relationships with all of his clients and continues to do the same work with new members and drop-​ins alike.
Programming is top notch. The spirit of «Constantly Varied» lives in all of the workouts. Both consistently challenging for even the most elite athlete and scalable for the newest to Crossfit — I always leave knowing I’ve gotten the best possible workout.
Classes are capped at 10 people, which is fantastic and contributes to a personal training experience. This is not typical for other boxes in The Valley and is a huge part of what elevates the experience at CFPS.
The gym is now in a much larger space, which allows for open gym time for members, as well as a competitors’ class that rivals Invictus in its intensity.
Kisha Carr is one of the other amazing coaches. She also offers personalized meal plans and nutritional support. Alongside that, Carr Cellular Fitness is on site with a wide variety of supplements and support.
I would never consider moving gyms. CFPS has changed the way I view fitness, and now, at 31, I am healthier and fitter than ever before. Thank you Matt and Kisha for a life changing experience.

I cannot recommend Crossfit Palm Springs enough. I started almost 4 years ago, being dragged there by my youngest daughter, and it’s improved my life in ways I couldn’t imagine. I’m in my late 50s, and my level of fitness and health is better than it was in my 30s. I look forward to my workouts every day the way I used to look forward to recess when I was a kid. Crossfit Palm Springs has a new facility and its bigger and better than ever. The space is clean and well organized, equipment is all in top shape, and the schedule accommodates all kinds of work schedules. Coaches Matthew and Kisha are brilliant, attentive, problem solvers, always have a modification for any move that’s too difficult, but know just when to give you a nudge when you can do it and you just don’t know it. The other members, from the incredible athletes in the competitors class, to the beginners are all welcoming and encouraging. Kisha is available to do body scans and personalized diet plans to up your performance and help you achieve your goals – I’ve had great success with that as well. If you are serious about getting in shape and want to do it in a fun, friendly atmosphere under the supervision of skilled coaches, or are already a Crossfitter visiting from out of town, check out Crossfit Palm Springs!

I was a vacationing crossfitter for 3 weeks in Dec/​14. Matt and Kisha are amazing coaches, and facilitated a deeper understanding and knowledge for my progression in cross fit. The welcoming atmosphere was delightful. Honestly, I wish I could train at Crossfit Palm Springs full time. I have immense gratitude for this amazing group of people. Happy New Year!

I had a really good experience with Matthew who trained me for a private session. I had never done Crossfit before and he suggested on at least one private training. I really liked the attention that a training can give to me especially for good form. I was excited to try a new place and it was fun to learn new things. It was not an easy task though. It challenged me and the results felt great. Matthew was very professional. I recommend a private training to anyone at least to try once.

Signed up for a one-​week membership because I was visiting Palm Springs for thanksgiving. I was very disappointed in almost everything about this gym. It is small, the equipment is not in good condition, but most importantly the coaches were horrible. They provided little to no instruction and seemed like they did not care. I witnessed many of the members executing horrible form on lifts and the coaches did not help them one bit. I would not recommend this box.

I highly recommend CrossFit Palm Springs for anyone who wants their workout to be challenging and personalized to meet YOUR goals. Matt is a great coach and the schedule availability each day is very helpful.
Great people here and a great workout.

I started at CrossFit Palm Springs in January 2014 and I love it. I’d heard a lot about CrossFit, but was hesitant about joining a box because I’d heard how difficult and hard it was on the body. The coaches at Crossfit Palm Springs are great and erased any doubts from my mind. My coach Kisha, who teaches the 6:30AM class, has taught me proper form and skill to execute the exercises. She, as well as all the other coaches, are constantly motivating and pushing me to give the WOD (Workout Of the Day) what my body is capable of. They never expect or make you do more that what your own body can handle. I love the sense of community that I feel when I’m there. I’ve recently started an amazing nutritional program put together by Kisha and loving the results. CrossFit has now become a way of life for me and look forward to living an active, healthy and happy life.

I love the sense of community that I felt on my 1^st day. I felt like it’s really a crossfit gym which im used to now that just recently moved here in the desert. Coaches are skilled and they really watch you and teach you. I love their merchandise too!

My wife and I started at Crossfit Palm Springs in March 2012 and we love it. We knew what Crossfit was about, but the results have been dramatic. The people at Crossfit Palm Springs are great and we have become a big family.
TJ, Matt and Larry have been amazing over the months. TJ has been so helpful with our technique and works with us when we need modification to the exercises. I have very tight joints and he has given me so many techniques to help me through and still get results. Matt and Larry lead by example and are benchmarks when it comes to the workouts and provide great instruction along with a gentle «push» to get us to move forward with our workouts.
Crossfit Palm Springs is a small box with a lot of big features. We love the small class sizes because it gives us room to work out along with that family feeling. The online signup was painful during transition but is working great now because it allows us to sign up and drop whenever we want.
We encourage all of our friends to sign up for Crossfit and I recommend our box to any visitors to Palm Springs. Thanks Crossfit Palm Springs!

I have dropped into this box a couple times now and it’s a great box. The coaches are well versed, attentive, and program good workouts. The equipment is in good condition and there is plenty of it. Class sizes are small which creates more focused attention during the WOD. Also, since the last time I visited they have updated the entrance. The supplement shop is up and running, the T-​shirts are really cool (had to buy one!), and everything is clean and new! You feel welcome as a drop-​in and I will definitely come back next time I’m in town.

I was traveling for business and stopped in for a WOD! Coach was amazing and super encouraging and the athletes were helpful and welcoming! The facility was clean and organized and they had all up to date equipment. Needless to say, I will definitely be returning anytime I’m in town.

Took a drop in class while in town for work. Larry and Matt are first class coaches. WOD was very challenging. Environment was friendly and I felt at home right away. Definitely worth the time, energy, and $. This will be my new gym whenever in PS.

While I was vacationing I dropped in for a WOD at Palm Springs CrossFit. I was so pleased with the coaches, the equipment, the friendly members, and the workouts that I returned the next day for another one! :)
The coaches are great! Coach Matt took the time to help me work on some skills that I lacked. Coach TJ watched my form closely and corrected me when I needed it all while encouraging me on. These are important qualities you want in a CrossFit coach… especially when you’re not a regular client of theirs.
I look forward to my next visit to CrossFit Palm Springs.

I visited Crossfit Palm Springs when I went on vacation for spring break in March. It was a very good/​challenging workout. I really enjoyed the people I met and the coaches. I will definitely be back again!

Dropped in here awhile back while in Palm Springs for a wedding: it really doesn’t get much better than a great WOD with 400m runs on a beautiful warm day with the mountains as a backdrop. The coach was incredibly welcoming, as were the other members. Great set up with the garage door opening for more space on nice days (right…so when ISN’T there a nice day in Palm Springs??). Either $ 20 for drop-​ins, or purchase one of their sweet shirts (which I rock regularly back here in Chicago). Highly recommended if you are visiting Palm Springs.

TJ and his coaches are great. It’s my regular Crossfit box when I visit Palm Springs. Really like the programming and the crowd is very welcoming. The box is well equipped. It’s clear that they are really genuine about the CrossFit ethos, approach. They have a burgeoning kids program too. Highly recommend going if you are in the area. Would be a 5 star if it were a bit bigger. A couple WODs got a bit crowded but it’s a very minor issue.

«LOVE my new CFPS family. I used to HATE gyming until I found CFPS. TJ, you and your coaches are amazing! Thank you.»

Amazing coaching, great facility, welcoming community, best place to get fit in Palm Springs.

Great coaches and a fun group of people to work out with. TJ, Larry, Matthew, Owen and Bailey all work hard to help us achieve our personal goals.

5 stars doesn’t say enough. My wife and I moved to PS 3 months ago from Nor Cal with a few months of CF under our belts. From day 1, TJ (owner), Owen, Matthew and Larry have made grueling workouts enjoyable and have us looking forward to the next day’s WOD. The teams articulate explanation of skills is consistent and always given with consideration of experience level.
We’ve been to well over 15 boxes, due to business travel, and find the community at PS the most welcoming (fun), knowledgeable and energetic.
