CrossFit Kismet
Reviews
My first time trying Cross Fit. Fantastic!!! Chris, the founder and head instructor is tremendously talented, knowledgeable and a great motivator. After I joined I had my wife and kids try it...they love it. Two months into daily training l feel stronger, slimmer and with way better posture. Two thumbs up!!!
I was in from out-of-town, staying the Boca Raton Resort and dropped in to this box on 2/11/15, and it was awesome. I am an avid CrossFitter and have dropped in on many boxes all over the country. This was easily among the best experiences I've had; awesome WOD, great people and really intelligent and skillful coaching. If you're staying in Boca, there's no where else to go. Ask for Chris and you'll be well taken care of. Thanks to Chris and the CF Kismet family. See you again.
Ill open my review by saying that while I'm not a member of Crossfit Kismet I do see Coach CK on a weekly basis for his expertise in treatment of both musculoskeletal injuries and biomechanical function deficiencies. I will also point out that I drive 60 miles round trip to do so, and given the choice between the knee pain I've had for the past ten years or the unbelievably positive outcomes we have achieved, the choice is a no-brainer. His incorporation of modalities such as soft tissue release, bio-mechanics, and strength exercises has yielded overwhelmingly positive results where physical therapy, massage, injections and orthopedic surgeons have repeatedly (and disappointingly) failed. While I see Coach CK by appointment I have been around enough to observe the personal interest he takes in his members' performance, well being, technique and safety. I don't feel five stars is quite enough but since it was all I could put Ill go with that! If your looking to try crossfit for the first time, or looking for a change from your current box I would strongly recommend Coach CK and Crossfit Kismet. You are definitely in good hands! -Chad
I have been to a couple CrossFit boxes in the Boca Raton area and after going through the WODs, talking to the coaches, and feeling out the culture of the box, CrossFit Kismet is the best! Coach CK is really what makes this box top notch. His experience, knowledge, and skill gives the box a solid foundation. He has been able to answer every question I have had about lifts, nutrition, supplements, injuries, and so on. If he was unable to answer the question he always comes back the next day with an answer. This box is very welcoming and the people who workout here are friendly and competitive at the same time. The box also runs a great deal where you can try the box for 2 weeks for free to see if it is for you. I highly recommend CrossFit Kismet in Boca Raton, FL!
CrossFit Kismet is hands down the best box I’ve ever been to. It’s been almost a year now since I began training with Coach CK and in that time I’ve learned that his knowledge and expertise in the fields of exercise, myoskeletal alignment therapy and nutrition is unmatched at any level. I came to CrossFit not really knowing what to expect. I heard all the negative hype surrounding it, but I was sick of the gym and ready to try something different. If it became too crazy or I got injured I told myself I’d be out. CK put all my fears at ease day one. He started me, like he does all beginners, on a gradual progression. At first it was slow, but learning proper lifting techniques was more important than getting hurt during a workout I wasn’t ready for. I’m now in the best shape of my life and so far I’ve never been injured during a workout. Even though I wasn’t getting hurt during the workouts I was struggling with lingering injuries from my college basketball days. Seeing CK heal other athletes in the gym I asked him if he could help. Using his extensive knowledge of the body he totally realigned problematic areas like my neck and back using his deep tissue massage therapy. Today I feel like a new man and with the pre-workout mobility exercises before class every day I keep staying fresh. I also had many problems with my diet. I was getting sick a lot and I couldn’t seem to look how I wanted. After spending more time around CK he began to eliminate things that kept me from reaching my goals and more importantly suggested foods that would keep me healthy. CK is constantly researching the best and latest techniques to keep your digestion and body in prime condition. If you want to be trained by the best, get in the best shape of your life and have a fun time doing it CrossFit Kismet is the place to be. Come check it out!
