Best gym Ive been a part of, from how friendly the staff is to the energy of the members, very glad I got to be a part of it while I lived in Bend

Not sure how I missed this email a few weeks ago but man how time flies! No suggestions from me but I will say this has been by far and away the best gym experience i've had and it has a lot to do with the coaching staff I've had opportunities to be in class with. Their guidance is always solid and the Coaches do a great job in making sure members are supported and meet us where we are at - This is not a super easy thing to do! Going through this mending process after breaking my knee has not been as long and arduous as what I was told at first. In a significant way this has been because of the strength I've built up over the last couple years as well as knowing I would have a good gym and the healthy supports that would help me get up to speed again. I'm grateful you all are here and look forward to another great year :)

Oregon CrossFit is a fantastic gym that I feel so fortunate to have found. I found OC through a post by a fellow mama in a Bend facebook post sharing info about the Momfit cohort/program that coach Jules teaches. I was appx 4 months postpartum with my second child looking for a way to build back strength. I loved everything about Jules classes. I loved that I could bring my baby (or not), meet other mamas and build community, get strength guidance from a fellow mom thats mindful of pelvic floor strength. Jules is also everything you want in a coach - approachable, kind, funny, smart, and strong. Once I finished the one round of the Momfit cohort I wanted to graduate to the general population fitness courses or regular CrossFit. I completed four personal training sessions with Michael to go over all the common weight lifting positions that would be covered in class. He was so incredibly patient with me, answering all my questions about proper form and my mom brain forgetting just about every rep I was on all the time. I also met Kelly (another coach) randomly at Trader Joes during all of this and through that one encounter have found another friendly person to chat with as I start general classes. To summarize my lengthy review, my enthusiasm for this gym and the experience come down to a couple of things: 1) I love the support they extend to mamas, getting us back into the gym with the focus being on our health, strength, and enjoyment 2) Not once have I left a class on the floor. Dont get me wrong, the classes are hard, but compared to other CrossFit gyms its nice that theyre not going for the shock and awe of every workout being the hardest of your life. Theyre focused on getting people strong and consistent over the long haul. 3) The people are kind and I notice (and love) the variation they have in ages in the class. I regularly see folks 60+, 20 something and all in between. It brings a nice energy to the gym and opportunities to connect with people in different phases of life. If youre on the fence in trying CrossFit or coming back to the gym, come here. Youll be so happy you invested in yourself by investing in this community. Im so grateful I took the leap. I look forward to every chance I get to move my body, meet new people, and learn new skills and new capabilities I didnt know I had.
