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. The instructors took their time demonstrating the … More movements and always encouraged me to push forward. Not only did I feel confident in achieving my fitness goals, I was having a lot of fun doing it as well. I’d recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone.
Timothy Powell ★★★★★ 8 months ago
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!!!!

Positive workout environment. Classes start on time. The facility is clean and the equipment is well maintained.
Coaches are friendly and are willing to make modifications for ppl with injuries. The coaches do a good job at demonstrating … More movements and giving tips.

it's been almost two years since I've joined the CrossFit and the experience has been phenomenal. In terms of the exercises , the diet plan , quarterly measurements everything is personally taken care by coach Ryan . .
Reggie Eloi ★★★★★ 8 months 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 want to work hard get better, whether you have never done this or have tons of experience I strongly recommend paying a visit to CFSO.
Richard A ★★★★☆ a year 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 : )
Connor Bradley ★★★★★ a year ago
I started working out here in December and it has been a great experience. The coaches taught me everything I needed to know to successfully participate in the workouts. It is a friendly, but demanding environment that has pushed me to … More keep getting stronger.
Desiree Rodriguez-Bodley ★★★★★ a year ago
I love this place! I came in as a complete beginner and was very nervous at first seeing all the extremely fit people there but I have never been made to feel more welcome in my life. I have had a chance to work with all the coaches and … More they are all amazing and work with you. Whether you are a beginner who needs more instruction and time or advanced this place caters to both.
Philip Gibson ★★★★★ a year ago
This is one of my favorite places. Great people friendly atmosphere. Knowledgeable coaches. If you want to get into the best shape of your life. Come and see us. Doesn’t matter your fitness experience. 14-90 they have what you need to … More get moving. And the sky is the limit. Highly recommend!!!
Casey Harley ★★★★★ a year ago
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.
Ashley C ★★★★★ a year ago
I absolutely love the atmosphere of this place! It’s not just a gym, it’s a family! Everyone is there for their own success but also to cheer you on and make sure you succeed as well. The coaches are amazing 😉 and always encourage … More you to do more then you think you can do.
Giyonna Kellum ★★★★★ a year ago
My sanity!!! I found this place when I needed it the most. Coaches are wonderful and always encouraging. I’ve been at this gym almost 2 years now and look forward EVERY time I get a chance to go... 3 to 4x/week. I’d highly encourage … More anyone no matter what level of fitness to give CFSO a try. The family atmosphere is truly awesome!

If you are a long time lurker of crossfit, as I was, this is the gym for you! Small box, with very knowledgeable... coaches, who will train you how to properly complete each lift, and a family like group to help push you through it all.

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

I’m so thankful for this box. Coach pushes you and encourages you at the same time to be the best that you can be.

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 loved the atmosphere and I loved Coach Ryan! He's great, attentive, encouraging (even when you don't want it), and challenges you to challenge yourself. He got me hooked!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

Drove all the way from out of town to meet with Ryan and sign my daughter up and was met with terrible customer... service, complete lack of respect for our time showing up 45 minutes late after calling one minute before our schedule time to say you would be 30minutes late. 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!!! Very shady business !! I'm upset I had to even give it a one star rating!! The trip wasn't all bad I'm sure crosfit 615 will enjoy our supportread more
