Crossfit Altadena

CrossFit Altadena is a fantastic place to get fit while having fun. Coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and conscientious of member limitations. They don’t expect you to be able to perform muscle ups, strict push-​ups and other difficult exercises, but they will help get you there gradually. If you have an old injury that flares up from time-​to-​time, the coaches will modify your workout to accommodate you.
They do not adhere to the in-​your-​face type of «encouragement,» but they will push you enough to make sure you get the results you want.
Programming is varied and well-​balanced. It is geared toward complete, overall, functional fitness. Entire class does the same workout of the day (WOD).
CrossFit Altadena does not lock you into a contract. Sign up on a month-​to-​month basis and if you have to quit, no problem/​no penalty.
This is a great place run by great people. Get yourself in here and find out what it feels like to actually WANT to work out!

Went looking for a new Crossfit gym and came across CFA, the coaches amazing, friendly, and very helpful. The workouts are always great with excellent coaching and the box is always clean. They are very family oriented which is a plus and pet friendly. Definitely recommend this gym to everyone of all fitness levels.

I dropped into CrossFit Altadena while in Pasadena for work. This gym is AMAZING! The people are great fun and the atmosphere is great.
Not only does Jason keep the vibe fun and friendly but his programming is great. The week is mixed with cardio/​interval and strength and he doesn’t skip on the principals of instruction. This is one of the best CrossFit’s that I’ve been to and particularly for tailoring the workouts to ALL skill levels.
Definitely check it out, you won’t be disappointed. Whenever I’m in town this is my go-​to.

Crossfit Altadena is as good as it gets! Great community and knowledgable staff. Welcoming for all!

CrossFit, that workout «fad» that just want go away. As someone who has been crossfitting for 4 years I can tell you that there is no better way to work out. You get a full body experience in under and hour, you get to learn about nutrition, and most importantly you join a community of people dedicated to bettering themselves on a daily basis.
Crossfit Altadena is one of the newer facilities in the Pasadena area. Located just north of John Muir on Lincoln right before Montana the location is in an up and coming neighborhood where the city has allotted a significant amount of help to new business opening up. This puts CFA in the ideal position to become the best spot for crossfit.
WORKOUTS: A+
We are talking about classic crossfit. None of the programing pretends to be something it’s not. Lots of met-​cons, lots of couplets and triplets, lots of interval training, it’s all here at crossfit Altadena. Almost all of the workouts have a Cap on them ensuring you aren’t stuck in a workout that is over your head for 45 minutes and with every workout being scalable, it’s the perfect recipe for anyone new or old to crossfit. Typically the week looks like this: M-​Th, classic crossfit style workouts F– «Suprise Workout Day» typically consisting of a benchmark WOD, Sa– Partner WOD. The programing is done by Gabe and J.
FACILITY: B+
It’s the perfect size for a 8 person class but can get a little crowded once it gets over 15 people (which is rare but can still happen). The best feature is the brick wall that runs alongside the south wall of the gym. The floor plan is like a long rectangle.
COACHING: A+
J is the guy you are going to see every day and because of this you will never be worried about the level of coaching. He understands the movements but more importantly isn’t afraid to challenge you when you need to be challenged and put the breaks on when you need to drop some plates off the bar. He has an excellent understanding of body movement and what is required to CrossFit safely and effectively.
COMMUNITY: A
A touch on the beginner side the community still has several fire breathers to chase when you walk in and look at the white board. It is a family oriented community and you don’t have to deal with people who are trying to look good for the other people in the gym (hi 24 hour fitness). It’s regular to see couples working out together or the owners daughters helping out around the gym. Everyone is behind each other and roots each other on. There is no animosity or hostility. Last person finishing the WOD? Be ready, the folks here will be cheering you on and high-​fiving you when you finish. Without a doubt this is the best part of any CrossFit community and especially CFA.
PRICE: A–
It’s cheaper than any other gym in the area or around LA, but more expensive that the gyms in the IE. No contracts, everybody is month to month and if you need to leave town for an extended period of time they will pause your membership.
CFA isn’t about making a bunch of money off of you or hurting you. It’s about giving you quality coaching and programing while offering an amazing community experience. Go see J and set up your on-​ramp or just simply drop in if you know what you’re doing. You’ll love this place!

If you are looking to try Crossfit for the first time, improve your strength, live a healthier life, or just want to become ripped, you should come check out Crossfit Altadena. The staff and members at CFA are very welcoming to the new lifestyle of fitness. The coaches have years of experience and the owner is also a competitor! Their facility is always clean and they only provide the highest quality equipment and training for their members. You don’t just come to CFA to work out, you come because you want to see results.

Although CFA is new to the area they’ve done such a great job creating a great, welcoming, community feel. I love how Coach Jason breaks down the movements and encourages you during workouts. If you’re looking for a place to grow and get better CFA is a great facility. Overall a great fitness experience.

If you’re looking to find a box with cool people and knowledgable trainers, this is the place for you. The work outs are skillfully developed for any range of athlete from beginner to expert. I started out at the sister box CFNP, then transitioned to CFA when this one opened up. Both of them are fantastic and bring with them a sense of family.

I’ve been going to CrossFit Altadena since day one when they first open their doors. I came in the worst shape i’ve ever been. CrossFit may seem intimidating at first but you go at your own pace. I have full confidence in the coaches there. Jay does a great job at recognizing your strengths and weaknesses. He will push you in order to make you better at whatever you’re trying to accomplish. I’ve been going to Crossfit Altadena for about one and a half months now and I can say I look forward to their workouts. I’ve been going about 4 – 5 times a week and I know i’m improving in every category; from losing weight, gaining muscle as well as building up my strength. Everyone at CF Altadena are very friendly and welcoming. Very supportive. They will cheer you on and encourage you until everyone finished the workout. Once you try crossfit, you can’t ever go back to a conventional gym

I dropped in while in town from NYC and everyone was very welcoming. The staff and crossfitters at Crossfit Altadena are a fantastic bunch. Facilities are clean and the next time I’m in town, I’ll definitely be dropping in again.
