Chalkline Crossfit

So my friends are super into Cross fit. They have been doing it for almost a year and they really wanted me to get involved. I was really hesitant because I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I take dance classes for cardio but besides that, I am not the most active person. I found this place on Unilocal because of the fantastic reviews and thought I would give it a try. I first met Emily and she was such a fantastic person. She really makes sure that you are taken care of. I have been in a car accident and she made sure that the exercises fit with my body. She did the evaluation with me and really got to know me before just shoving me off into a class. What I like about this cross fit place is that the goal is to make sure you are healthy and feel part of the community. I did my first class with Scott on Friday and he did an excellent job with training. He made sure that each of the people involved were doing each exercise the right way. For example, I never knew that when doing a squat you had to push your legs out so that you do not strain your legs from getting cramped or having leg/​knee issues. But he really made sure that I was doing okay. The class was only an hour but even with that one hour, you sweat so much. And you don’t even realize it either. It’s a lot of strength training technique and even though some of the exercises may look easy the small exercises may do the most for you. I really enjoyed my first class at chalk line crossfit. But I don’t think this will be my last. My muscles are screaming right now from being sore. But it’s a sweet pain when you are building muscle.
Once again. Emily and Scott and Michael are great instructors and they really are just there to help you be healthy. This is the right crossfit gym for anyone young or older.

I loved my evening workout at Chalkline! I only dropped in for a class while I’m in town visiting family, but I would definitely recommend this box! Also, Emily was very welcoming and fun to have as a coach!

I joined at the end of April. It has been three months. I really love the workouts, they really know how to rev up your metabolism. I’ve lost the fat off my arms, my back fat, and and I’m getting my abs really lean! I really like this. I do run and do yoga on the side sometimes. The gym is so clean, I could eat off the floor. And the coaches are spectacular!
They also help with nutrition, taping up injuries, and they have a massage therapist on site.
They also do social things like paintball and social outings! And there are classes all day!

Small class gives each person a lot of attention. The facility is so clean and organized. The whole system and record is useful and cool. The community is nice and supportive.

People here are great! Love the workout. The support and help is wonderful. Great environment. Clean and organized gym.

Never thought much about the whole crossfit gig. But def glad I have joined. It is by far some of the best workouts I have had and I am seeing and feeling the results. It’s just been under 3 months and I don’t see myself ever stopping this. The coaches are great and the people make working out a good time. If u are on the edge about trying crossfit out… I highly recommend coming here for the free class and giving it a whirl

Chalkline has exceeded my expectations. I have always had a fitness program. Over the years I have done it all, Pilate’s, yoga, weight training, body sculpting, spinning, step… you name it. I am a fit senior, and 6 months ago I had total hip replacement. After 8 months of not working out I joined Chalkline to rehabilitate and regain my strength. I was basically back at square one. Coaches Emily and Jen are making sure that with each workout I only get stronger and never adversely affect the healing process. Even though we work out in classes Coaches Emily and Jen constantly have an eye on us to make sure we have proper technique so much so it feels like a private workout. At Chalkline in the course of a week I have worked out every body part, and I am just the right amount of sore. By scaling the workouts to each members ability Chalkline has a workout for everyone. I am so happy to be part of the Chalkline CrossFit family.

This box is still new but it has quickly shaped up to be an awesome place to workout. Coaches Jen and Emily are awesome. They clearly bring a significant amount of coaching experience to this new gym. The instruction on form/​technique is outstanding. They are excellent at accommodating a variety of levels of CrossFit athletes. Everyone is always made to feel comfortable while getting a great workout.
The Chalkline coaches are very tuned into risks that are inherent in CrossFit. They have a comforting obsessiveness about protecting their members from everything from strains due to bad lifting form to skin tears on palms from pull-​ups.
The gym is spacious. The equipment is all so new and shiny that I almost feel guilty using it and scuffing it up. It’s also exceptionally clean for a CrossFit box. Grittiness sort of a part of the CrossFit product and Chalkline strikes a good balance of grit and cleanliness. The chalk on the equipment and used tires in the corner say «rugged no-​nonsense fitness arena». But the Fresh Scent Clorox® disinfecting wipes and Swiffer Sweeper® say «civilized and with minimum unnecessary germ transference».
I’m looking forward to seeing this place grow!

Chalkline Crossfit is newly opened, and the beginning of something I know will grow and grow. This is a huge facility, with a «hang out» room up front, two bathrooms, kitchen, and gigantic gym. Easy to get to just north of the 101 east of Kanan, with lots of parking.
Owner/​Coaches Emily and Jen simply know their stuff. Whether you are out of shape wanting to finally do something to improve, or already an olympic class athlete, Em and Jen will make you sweat and like it. Pushing you all the way, and scaling everything to meet your capabilities and needs.
Not familiar with crossfit? Don’t expect to find rows and rows of ellipticals, bikes and machines. Do expect to work all parts of your body, with functional movements, weightlifting, running and jumping; you’ll develop a love/​hate relationship with burpies. Short duration, very intense workouts, different every day.
Full Disclosure: Coach Emily has been my coach at another Crossfit box for the past two years. I’ll miss her dearly, but wish her and partners Jen and Uri the best of success. It’s very likely you will see me occasionally at Chalkline to do a WOD with my old friends.

Finally… a Crossfit gym in Agoura Hills! I went to the grand opening of this place this past Sunday and was really impressed with how the place looks. They have a lounge room which is just great… especially after a Crossfit WOD. The staff is awesome… great coaches who will teach you the movements so that you are comfortable doing them without injury. Coach Emily is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She is dedicated to her craft and really encourages you thru the workouts. This gym is still growing into what it will eventually become, but they have all the equipment and space you need for a true kick-​ass Crossfit workout. The feeling that you are part of family is so evident… everyone competing against the workout itself rather than themselves and everyone cheering you on as you go. For anyone that is sick of the traditional gym, lackluster results and wants to get in amazing shape… than join Chalkline Crossfit. The workouts are intense, no question about it, but if you stick with it you will find yourself in the best shape of your life. Thanks for coming Chalkline and see you soon and often!
