Natural Remedies for Sore Muscles

Oh, the love hate relationship with sore muscles - knowing you killed it at your workout but cringing whenever you lift your arms the next day. In case you didn’t know muscles micro tear before they can rebuild, using protein, to create muscle. Sounds sore to me, but that’s not [...]

This “box” is pretty dope. Before being relocated I attended the 5am class. Everyone was extremely nice, patient, encouraging, all the things you would want in a new environment.

Reggie Eloi ★★★★★ 4 weeks ago
My first meeting with Coach Ryan, he made sure to find out what my goals were. I came to class nervous because i had never done crossfit before. The coaches were nice, encouraging and made sure to guide me and meet me where i was but also … More made sure to push me in order to get me better and stronger. It truly is a family atmosphere and everyone wants to see everyone else succeed. I have tried working out alone and several other gyms but i truly feel like this is the best place for me.

If you are looking to start doing CrossFit for the first time ever CrossFit Solid Orange is the place. I signed up because I got a free session and never looked back I quickly became a regular going 6 days a week. Coach Ryan and his team … More or coaches are amazing and have a ton of patients for a newbie like me. The only reason I left was because I moved an hour away. I miss the place, the workouts, and more importantly the people. If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!!

Ryan is a beast! He is well-respected in the CrossFit community because of his commitment to excellence, passion and accountability.

If anyone is looking for a CrossFit gym or personal trainer, Ryan and CrossFit Solid Orange is your team.
Richard A ★★★★☆ 9 months ago
At 52 I believe that I am the oldest regular member of this gym. I started coming because my body was falling apart after years of sedentary jobs. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but the payoff is more than worth … More it.
The members here are all very supportive and the coaches give enough personal attention to make scaling the workouts to my specific needs easy without letting me coast.
I love that all I have to do is show up willing to work hard, all the planning and thought is done.
I didn't give the gym a 5 because I am a teacher and I always want to leave room for improvement : )

I have worked out at this box for just over a year now and I love it. I am by no means in the same shape I was 10 years ago, but I am still very competitive and love the level of group and personal focus I get from Ryan and all of the coaching … More staff. The culture and environment is productive and well balanced for all levels of personal fitness. Not everyone is made to compete at a high level, but this Gym / box caters to all levels of personal fitness motivation.

There are so many great things to say about CFSO, but we will capture the highlights! Coach Ryan knows his stuff, he... has an acumen for barbell lifts, gymnastics movements, and any aspect of “functional fitness”, as well as the nutrition side of physical fitness. However, what sets him apart is his never ceasing journey to improve his skill set that ultimately benefits any member of CFSO. But what really sets CFSO apart is the community. There are no egos, no mirrors, and no judgement; only other individuals that will provide copious amounts of encouragement that will push you to be better than the person you were when you walked in the door before class. All of the classes can be scaled to accommodate your needs and goals, which is why we are #FitFam.read more

This is my third box in three years and I feel as if I’ve found my next home. if you’re looking for a good box to... scratch that CrossFit itch then this is the place. It’s small which some might consider to be its downfall but I consider that to be CFSO’s greatest strength. Personalized attention, the ability to learn everyone’s name, and a focus on technique are the things that stand out most in the small Box environment. Be forewarned: if you aren’t willing to try, or have trouble being coached, this is not the box for you. Wear your humble pants and your try-real-hard sweat bands cause you’re gonna need them.read more

Crossfit Solid Orange is an amazing box to go to that will very quickly begin to feel like family. Coach Ryan is very... knowledgeable and always encouraging and helpful... Even when you wish he wasn't (that's a good thing haha). On the days when I wanna "take it easy," he pushes me to try harder -- if I'm suffering from an injury, Coach takes the time to sit with me and problem solve not only how workouts can be still be accomplished, but ways we can work together to get myself back to 100%. If you're looking for support and community to go along with your awesome workouts... Look no further! Love this place and these people!read more

I came to CFSO after taking a year off from CrossFit. As I walked in on day 1 I had flashbacks to my first class in my... previous Box. Same nervous jitters. Coach Ryan made me feel right at home. The other members are all exactly the type of people you want to have around you during an intense MetCon. They create a sense of competitiveness without actually being competitive. It doesn't matter how strong or fast you are. The community at CrossFit Solid Orange will welcome you with open arms. So that's that. The warm up is over. 3, 2, 1 GO! (you'll understand after your first class)read more

I've been working out at CrossFit Solid Orange for 4 months now, and I absolutely love it. Coach Ryan is fantastic. ... He is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I trust him to lead me safely through challenging workouts.Before CrossFit Solid Orange I was a couch potato. I hadn't exercised in years. I had no confidence when it came to exercise. I wanted to get in shape, but I had no idea where to start. I happened upon CrossFit Solid Orange because it is near a restaurant that I frequented. Calling Coach Ryan was the best thing I've done in a long time for my health. I'm seeing great results. I'm losing fat; gaining muscle; getting stronger; and increasing my range of motion, balance, and endurance.Coach Ryan is a great motivator. His encouragement has helped me to stick with the program. I would recommend CrossFit Solid Orange to anyone no matter the age (I'm 52) or fitness level. The workouts are scaled to your level. Coach Ryan's focus on form guarantees a workout that will be challenging yet safe.I know that I'm gushing, but I can't say enough good things about CrossFit Solid Orange and Coach Ryan. I'm excited about 2017. I'm looking forward to reaching new physical fitness goals!read more

I've never given a bad review of anyone business but my experience yesterday at this gym was so bad I had to make an exception !! Beware!! There is a reason this gym offers one free week!!!
