Top Tier Crossfit

I always look forward to making the yearly trek back down to Winston-​Salem (usually near the holiday season) to visit the folks and connect with old friends. However, finding a consistent/​quality gym to workout was difficult… until I found Top Tier Crossfit. This place is located conveniently in Downtown Winston (off Liberty and 6^th) and parking is ample. Don’t worry, if the parking lot does get filled up, there’s one hour street parking, which is plenty of time for a quick workout.
I arrived on the Dec 26^th, right after Christmas, and was itching for my olympic lifting program to start up again. When I stepped through the door, the coach that was teaching the class stopped and welcomed me to the gym. I thought that was pretty cool and kind. Anyways I told him that I was going to do my own programming since I’m following my gym’s (in DC) program that focuses on Olympic Lifting. He said it was alright and let me workout for FREE!
Going to the important stuff: The Equipment!
+Olympic Weightlifting platform — YASSS, this place has Eleiko kilo plates (4 of each colored plates) and 3 Eleiko bars! The change plates were also by Eleiko and were definitely sexy. If you want to do rack jerks, they have these loud rack stands (protected by Ken and Barbie).
–Bars — Decent bars, couldn’t tell if they were Rogue or Pendlays
+Rings — Wooden rings, so they feel amazing, no plastic for this gym!
+Kettlebells — There was a 10×8 ft shelf that had a rainbow of kettlebells. A big American flag is chilling right above them.
+Rigs — There are two rigs, the bottom floor rig can accommodate up to 16 people doing basic stuff (squats, pull ups, muscle ups, etc etc). The upstairs rig (yes I said it, THERE ARE 2 FLOORS) is mainly a square rig, not sure what additional use it has but its cool.
+Rope climb — The height of the bottom floor is 12 feet, so the rope climb is about 10 feet, pretty short but it gets the job done.
Concluding, I’d definitely go back to this gym. Clean facility, Great people, Good Vibes. A+
Tip: Be sure to check out the upstairs. It’s usually reserved for bootcamp and personal training but I thought it was pretty cool. It’s super roomy, carpeted, and full of fun equipment.
