CrossFit South Redlands

Amazing facilities, organized and there is more than enough equipment for everyone. The trainers are encouraging and the people here are positive! If you’re looking for a good place to start, or a new place to find a good fit– this is it!

It took me a while to pick a box here in Redlands but I’m so happy with my choice! I’m picky with programming and what I expect out of my coaches and they’ve exceeded my expectations. They are extremely knowledgeable and I can tell they are meticulous with their programming for their athletes. Great gym, awesome comradery and I’m excited to see where I’ll be in the next couple of months.

Great CrossFit gym! Friendly & encouraging trainers with great training classes! I LOVE the Guided Strength classes with Fritz! If you are thinking of getting into CrossFit, check out CFSR!!!

Extremely friendly and knowledgable trainers! Well kept box! Thank you Fritz for the great introduction to Crossfit!

I’ve been a member at this gym for the past three years and it’s about time I share to the local community how great it is!
First of all, I am NOT a workout enthusiast and like many I have tiring work days (my excuse) that make me slack during the stressful weeks. However I do know on my days that I force myself to the gym I am so glad I went every time I walk out of a class. Every workout makes me feel like I made the MOST out of the hour given and although some may think Crossfit workouts are intimidating, there are so many ways to scale or moderate to a workout that fits you as an individual and the trainers make sure that it works for you. It sure beats doing the elliptical for 2 hours…
I’m sure most people already know about Crossfit by now but what is different about this gym is that the workouts and facilities are CONSTANTLY IMPROVING. The trainers all work so hard to make sure they make this a gym all the members can be proud of. I have never seen any old equipment that is rusted and broken down. Every time something needs replaced/​repainted/​resurfaced, it seems to get done at a moments notice. Also we are always getting new machines or gadgets that we can try out. That tells me that this gym really prides itself in giving people the best equipment needed for the workouts. I’ve been to other Crossfit gyms when I’m visiting another town and I always think… wow we really have it good at our gym.
The gym has two sections. One side is filled with weightlifting stations with barbells and weights in each station so makes it convenient for all the athletes whether used for a class or for individual training. The other main side are where the WODs are mostly done and there is plenty of space for each person even when it is a busy class.
If you are just curious and just want to walk in to see what it is about, ask for Chad or Fritz and they will be happy to give you a tour and talk details of what our gym can do for you. :)

I am so lucky to be part of this awesome gym! The knowledge and support I get from every coach has helped me push myself to achieve goals I never thought I had a chance at. The positive environment and amazing friends I’ve made keep me coming back everyday!

Hands down the best box around. I became a «member» of this gym approx two years ago and have been ever since but it’s more than just paying dues and working out, Crossfit is life changing but the Coach, the training Staff, and members at South Redlands make you FAMILY. I’ve visited many other crossfit gyms and most have been welcoming and support visitors that are excited to keep up with your fitness and goals. South Redlands is just that and more. My personal experience at CFSR has been unparalleled to any other. I started my journey much heavier in my body weight and athletic ability. My current and former careers demand a high level of fitness and I thought had me at a high level of fitness. CFSR blew the doors off of what I thought «fitness» is and pushed me past what I thought was possible in a supportive and encouraging way. I dramatically lost body fat, gained true strength, and muscle with coached workouts, diet planning, and assistance to continue to grow both mentally and physically as an athlete and keeping me at the top of my game for both exercise and overall health. I’m in the best shape of my life at 35 years old and my only hangup is that I didn’t find this gym sooner. I have nothing but excellent things to say about the staff and facility for this crossfit gym. Please stop by and give them a chance if you’re in the area for a quick drop in or for a new crossfit home. If you don’t believe the reviews ask any member at the gym.

I had wanted to try crossfit for years, finally I worked up the courage to drive up to the front of my now fitness home, CrossFit South Redlands. I went in and was met first by Sheila, one of the trainers, who had a big welcoming smile and immediately I felt little more comfortable. Before being allowed to work out all new members have to go through fundamental training to ensure safety. All the trainers are very knowledgeable and work hard to be sure all the althletes they are coaching that day are working correctly and to the best of their abilities. The owner, Chad is always making changes to improve the box by remodeling, new equipment, new classes and etc. to make sure he is giving his athletes the best experience possible and the best place to work out. The people who work out here also always want everyone else to succeed and are very encouraging and positive.
The value of what you get here is unreal. I tell people without a second of hesitation that it is worth every penny. If a person like me, with almost no athletic background were to go to a regular gym, a personal trainer would be needed to get near the results I have gotten at Crossfit South Redlands, and I have trainers every day, 6 days a week, and sometimes twice a day. I do not have the same body I came to this crossfit with, people tell me frequently that they can tell my body is changing, and strangers have started to ask me what kind of workout I do.
Last and definitely not least, I came to Crossfit with a constantly aching back that made me hesitant to try to lift much of anything, despite seeing a chiropractor for a couple of years. Chad and the other trainers emphasize developing core strength, and most things in crossfit are based on how strong your core is. In percentage, I would have to say my back is 90% better than before crossfit, and I go in to lift weights feeling safe knowing I would never be asked to do anything outside of my ability level (which is growing). If you are looking to increase fitness, strength, resilience to injury, this is first first place I would send anyone.

Excellent box — I have never been at a gym before where you really felt so strongly the sense of «team». No one is a stranger here, starting with the second you walk in the door. The box is clean and super safe, both in equipment and staff — well done!

Two years ago I decided to join a Crossfit gym to try something new. After contacting a few gyms around the Redlands area, Chad Griffin and his gym were the only ones that were prompt, open-​minded and friendly. Now, I couldn’t be happier with what this gym has done with my fitness and more importantly I’ve gained a small community of truly excellent friends and comrades.
I was always skeptical of Crossfit in general on many levels and still kind of hate some of the ultra-​jock/​macho/​douchey/​obsessive aspects of Crossfit. But the whole environment of CFSR is super laid back, family-​friendly. It caters to the whole range of athletes from elite/​sub-​elite to regular joe blow to the most out-​of-​shape beginners. The trainers are excellent and safe, they won’t let you go hurt yourself like an idiot. [Out of 2+ years of crossfit I’ve hurt myself mildly once, training by myself, and not warming up, like an idiot.] The programming by Chad is intentional and intelligent. The lead trainers after Chad are Fritz Nugent, who is extremely knowledgeable with a ton of experience and awesome new ideas and Bryan Figueroa who is probably the nicest and most patient guy there is [for all the other idiots like me] with ridiculously correct form.
Also. I’ve been to a lot of Crossfit gyms during my travels. And the facilities and equipment I’ve run across the country is laughable compared to what I have every day. It’s not even close.
All in all. I can honestly say that joining this gym is probably in the top 3 best decisions I’ve made in my life, the last few years.

When I moved to Redlands in January 2012, I did a web search for the closest gym to my house and Crossfit South Redlands popped up as number one. I did a brief search online about crossfit and was intrigued and intimidated. I knew that running on an elliptical 1 – 2 times a week at some random gym was not going to get me in shape for my upcoming wedding. I needed a serious butt-​kicking. I called CFSR and spoke with Coach Griffin for over an hour about what CFSR is all about. He talked about basic crossfit movements, what WODs are, and the personal attention that the trainers give to each athlete, but what sold me was the team-​dynamic. It doesn’t matter how in shape you are or how much weight you want to lose or how long you have been doing crossfit, everyone does the same workout at the same time. If someone finishes before you, you better believe that they’ll be cheering you on until you finish. If you finish first, you do the same for the rest of your teammates. My crossfit journey has been a team effort and I know I would not be where I am today without my CFSR family. I have never felt stronger, mentally or physically, than I do today. CFSR offers some amazing tools to all of its athletes; nutrition classes, weight lifting classes, technique classes, monthly challenges, local inter-​box challenges, etc. Also, each CFSR trainer has gone through rigorous training and has been crossfitting for an extended period of time. I completely trust each and every trainer and I know that they always have my health and safety in mind. I highly recommend that if you’re even slightly curious about crossfit that you stop by and watch a workout at CFSR… you won’t be disappointed!

Crossfit was never a thought in my head until I began dating someone who was already involved in the sport. In an effort to spend time together and stay fit, I joined Crossfit South Redlands with him. Nearly two years ago, I started on a journey that has forever changed my life. Although I was never severely overweight, I struggled with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. After the birth of my second child (and a second c-​section) I found it increasingly difficult to lose those last few pounds of «baby weight». Aside from passing my own personal fitness goals, the trainers and the Coach at Crossfit South Redlands are remarkable and have pushed me further than even I know I was capable. The encouragement is phenomenal and the member engagement is unmatched. The staff and the members are unique, refreshing, encouraging and are now considered a part of my family. I can’t imagine my life without Crossfit and in particular this box will keep me in Redlands. Nice work Coach and team!

I love this place! The coaches and trainers are extremely knowledgeable on all of the moves, and they always motivate everyone to do their best. It’s a good place to push yourself (I know I have!) both physically and mentally.

This is a great place to work out-​this place has changed my life. The members, trainers and owners are very supportive and motivating. Regardless of ability, you are considered to be an athlete. The members have become a part of my extended family and this place is my second home! It is rarely the same workout and even though the work outs can be challenging, they are modified to each individual’s abilities and safety is highly emphasized. I’ve lost more weight and inches here than at any other gym. I highly recommend CFSR!

AMAZING place! I’m still rather new to the box, but I already love it. The owners and all of the trainers are extremely knowledgeable, upbeat, and encouraging. Everyone that goes here treats one another like family. Most important of all is the fact that you leave every day feeling great thanks to the fantastic programming. I’d highly recommend CFSR to anyone interested in Crossfit!

What a great initial experience! The owner was very friendly, honest, and upfront with his prices. I never felt pressured into a sale, but had all of my questioned thoroughly answered about this phenomenon known as Crossfit. Chad’s (the owner/​coach) philosophy is challenging to everyone at every level of fitness while emphasizing the form of the movements to guard against injuries. After visiting a number of Box’s (Gym’s) in the area, I think I found one that will get me to my fitness goals and ensure that I am protected from injuries so that I can do this for a long time! I look forward to a lot of sweat, and maybe even some tears along the way!!!

Great people! Great workouts!

CrossFit South Redlands is a great place to get in shape. The owners and trainers are friendly and supportive. Lots of diversity when it comes to ability. Everything from 20-​something year olds in great shape to 70+ just staying healthy. They make it feel like a family and want you to succeed. Highly recommend.

This is a awesome Gym … with excellent trainers/​coaches that truly care about you. I also own a CrossFit Gym and ALWAYS refer clients to them… You will not find better people then Chad and B. Thanks Kevin Penner CrossFit by BodyFit owner/​founder

CrossFit South Redlands is a great gym. Chad and B are always there to help you out and push you to your limits. Awesome team atmosphere that helps too. I definitely would recommend it!
