Started doing Crossfit five month's ago and got lucky to find this place just few minutes away from where I live. Love workouts. In one hour you will stretch, develop new skills and do workout of the day that will make you sweat hard. Speaking of skills, after five months of training I can do double unders with a rope, bar muscle ups, hand stand pushups is not a problem, my stretching is much better at this point, not speaking of how my much better endurance and strength. Thanks coach! Looking forward to get much sportier! Awesome place, awesome people. Recommend!

Great program and facility. I've visited some other Crossfit boxes and find although the model is standardized they do vary in how they put the mobility (stretching) and strength/skills components together. Ben consistently has a well thought out cycle of programming (usually a 4-week cycle) that is designed to have all three areas (mobility, strength/skills, and the workout of the day) complement each other and quickly build strength and ability in the areas of focus over the course of the cycle. Good for any level of fitness as there is a way to scale any exercise to individual ability and a friendly and fun clientele.

Have been going to Crossfit Wildlife for 2 years now. Very pleased with the experience - the gym is complete, clean, and commitment to the workouts will deliver results. Without getting into the details of crossfit, specifically, I can say that the owner/trainer is experienced, and the classes are fun.

Signed up for a boot camp class, was very excited to try because I had heard such good things about crossfit. The facilities are very nicely laid out and clean, but the class itself was a huge disappointment. The person who taught the class wore jeans and a wool sweater to teach a fitness class which I thought very unprofessional. In a one hour 'boot camp' class I got maybe only 8 minutes of good workout, the rest was so basic as to be a class for someone that had never worked out in their entire lives. Tried to speed it up for myself because I felt like I was wasting my time and got told to 'slow down and go at the same pace at the class'. Decided to take my business elsewhere. ***********In response to the owner, I would like to say that I have never claimed to be a 'world class athlete' nor do I aspire to be one. I only aspire to be the best that I can be and unfortunately the boot camp class that I went to did not allow me to be this person. I have done tabata exercises before, and perhaps I did not train as hard as a world class athlete but certainly was able to get to the point where I felt like my lungs were burning and complete exhaustion. I did not get this feeling in the class. In terms of 'crossfit not being about appearances', I don't believe that I expect a coach to wear only the most flattering, high end lululemon, nike, or under armor brand name clothing, but I think that I have a right to expect that a coach dress the part as someone who looks like they are willing to get down and sweat right beside you if need be to encourage you. Jeans, a wool sweater, and hiking boots in a gym do not give this feeling of confidence. I have recently signed up with a new training camp that is taught by someone who also participates in crossfit in their personal time and feel that this is more suited to me - since the month that I've been training there I've already increased my max weight ratio in numerous exercises by at least 20lbs and find that he is very good about tailoring the exercises to the specific need of the client regardless of fitness level. We do a lot of similar types of exercises (rowing machines, weight sleds, prowlers) but I don't feel that he holds me back to stay at the same level as others but instead pushes me to do more than I might have been able to do before. I think that perhaps my expectations of this boot camp class exceeded what the class set out to do - teach the most basic of basics to beginners that have never worked out a day in their lives. The class seemed very rigid in terms of pushing a 'credo' that you had to abide by and was not flexible to what an individual might be setting out to do. If you have done a squat, push up, or sit up before then this boot camp might not be for you.

As a busy mother of three young children I needed to find a workout that was short and effective. I found it with CrossFit. I signed up for Ben's Boot Camp class. During the first class I thought I was nuts when we went through the exercises. I also had a bad knee injury to worry about. Ben went through each exercise to make sure it was understood and that proper form was followed. I am now running, jumping rope and lifting weights!. My knee has not bothered me once, and our coach Ben, always made sure to ask me how I was doing with each exercise. The facility is very organzied and clean with a great welcoming atmosphere. I am now doing things I only dreamed about, such as squatting with 65 pounds. Ben is a fantastic coach, understanding and extremely knowledgeable. If you are considering CF do not be intimidated as everything can be altered to your specific needs or injury, it is an amazing workout. Thanks Ben for creating such a fun, effective and supportive atmosphere...If I can do it, anybody can do it. Turning 40 never felt so good!!! Thanks again Ben for all your support and knowledge.
