CrossFit 757
Reviews
By far the best, most professional, and most well equipped CrossFit gym in the Hampton Roads area. The trainers emphasis safety, proper mechanics, and set the bar for mobility work and Olympic Lifts. Having been to other CrossFit gyms in the area, and having had the privilege of working out here for almost two years. Disclaimer: I am now lucky enough to be one of the trainers here.
CrossFit 757 is awesome. The coaches are great and take the time to demonstrate the movements and focus on form during the workout. The facility is huge and has everything you could ever want in a CrossFit box. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their overall-fitness or Olympic lifts.
I have been participating since Aug 2010 and have nothing but good things to say! I've lost over 30 pounds and am much stronger. I might be willing to say I'm in the best shape I've been in, EVER! I have had days where I've been sore. Very sore, but it passes. I particularly enjoy the close scrutiny and the fact that members are encouraged to park their ego outside. The coaches are all personally involved and encourage best performance daily. Slow progress is still progress! I myself am on the 10 year plan! This has been the only training program that I've ever stuck with for this long. The variety of the workouts, I believe, is the secret to the success.
I've been doing CrossFit off the main website since May, but around November I found the CrossFit Gym right here in Norfolk, and it has been GREAT. It is well worth it to have a facility devoted entirely to CrossFit and the related exercises. Plenty of room to throw around weights, friends to cheer you on, and practically a personal trainer every day.
If you live near ghent and are looking for a new way to workout you should at least check out cf757. Use the website to schedule an initial appointment with one of the trainers and the experience will speak for itself. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive. Monthly membership is a little pricey but you're going to find that at any crossfit gym. They do offer a discount for military.
