Crossfit Manta Ray
Reviews
I worked out at this box for a year and is where I started CrossFit. Results showed and made some great friends here. The coaching started off on point and they were helpful. As time progressed, I noticed I was not getting the same attention as when I started. When I noticed it seemed the coaches were more concerned about the new folks who signed up with Groupon and gave them attention to ensure they would sign a one year contract, or if not pay significantly more for month to month membership. When it came time for our renewal we had weighed the pros and cons and decided to stay as we made some great friends. One thing about CrossFit is the community. This helps many in the sports reach and exceed their goals. One day we were asked to come in to talk and were told we were not welcome back. It seems if you question the programming or coaches this will happen. I learned after leaving I was not the only one this happened to. Either way, CrossFit as a weigh to get in shape is great and with proper warm up, coaching and review anyone can be successful. Before you sign up with anyone, all boxes will offer you a chance to drop in and try it out. Please search many boxes. This is a commitment for your health and every place tailors their programming differently so find what works for you. Also, with so many boxes popping up, be sure the coaches are there for you, not themselves.
I have been a member of Crossfit Manta Ray for over 6 months now and it has definitely been the most life changing experience for me. I not only feel so much better but I aspire to do so much better inside and outside of the gym. The coaches are amazing! Both Chris and Sebastian are great instructors and they genuinely want to see you thrive! I owe a lot my progress to myself but to them as well. I learn something new every class and appreciate their patience as I continue to work on my form and etc. so that I can become the best version of me.
We (me and Mr. Luis) started Crossfit @ Manta Ray in March 2014. Before choosing Manta Ray we scoped out local boxes closer to our home....when we came across the furthest locations which was Manta Ray we were impressed by how clean, organized, and professional they seemed to be. We met the Coaches and did the intro class and we signed up at that moment. These guys are truly awesome. They are always motivating and aware of each person and that all movements are being done not only correctly but efficiently. They are always making sure each athlete is progressing and most importantly that their self esteem is up (especially when the athlete feels like a total failure). In those moments they are positive and give moral support. There is definetely a community here at Manta Ray and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad we choose Manta Ray. Coach Chris and Sebas are super duper awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought a groupon back in February to try out Crossfit. I was very nervous at first, but Crossfit quickly became my new obsession! Coach Chris and Sebastian are wonderful. The workouts are HARD but you leave feeling amazing, plus they're super fun! The space is very clean and I love being able to track our progress on their computer! The best part about CF manta ray is the community! I have made so many amazing friends who are so motivating and encouraging. I am SO happy to workout everyday at this box. I definitely recommend Crossfit Manta Ray for newbies or seasoned cross fitters alike!
Chris and Sebastian are the best, they have created a very welcoming environment where everyone pushes and is supportive of one another. When I started at the beginning of this year (February) I hadn't seriously worked out in over two years, I weighed 230lbs and had no energy. After taking a few weeks off after the groupon ran out I decided that I was going to make a change. CrossFit Manta Ray and the community that Chris and Sebastian have built there helped me change my life. I am down to 187lbs and have never felt better or stronger. My energy is always through the roof and I look forward to heading to the box everyday. Thanks to Chris and Sebastian for helping me get to where I am today.
