CrossFit Las Vegas

We were vacationing for the week with family and wanted to keep up with our training. Our box in SoCal is Crossfit Saga but CFLV made us feel right at home. The wife and I took the early class after signing up and paying the drop in fee online. We trained with four other members and they were really nice. The staff was great, the place was clean, and plenty of bars/​weights for everyone. We look forward to visiting again when we take our quarterly trips to Vegas.

My 100^th review will go to my 2^nd home and 2^nd family– CrossFit Las Vegas!
I know, I know, there’s a crazy stigma around the word and the brand «CrossFit» that scares people off just from hearing it. I’ll admit, I’ve heard some things prior to my decision to come here but I was tired of the normal routines at the local gyms n not having access to the equipment when I needed it. Ever run into that issue? Ever run into the issue of being intimidated by «dying» or «getting killed» or (insert some injury here) at CF gym? Well… I’ve been here now for 1.5 years n am still alive and breathing fine. Just stronger, faster, healthier, n am enjoying life a little more n excited to take on new adventures and sports.
What makes this particular gym unique from the other 40+ in the Las Vegas area? Because some of the movements can be technical, they start u off working 1 on 1 with an experienced knowledgeable coach to take u through the movements and for myself, some of the most basic human movements that I’ve lost touch with especially a normal, plain air squat!
Love the community that I’m a part of and love the challenges I face in the gym that gives me the focus outside of the gym to make my life even better! Especially LOVE having showers to use if I have plans to go out or before I go into work! Not a lot of gyms offer this to members! There’s even a Noonie Goonie potluck (12pm class) every 1^st Thursday of the month, they have grass fed beef, whole milk & eggs delivered for pick up, organic produce, GEEZ! I don’t wanna give away all the perks without u guys checking em out! Cheers to more years to come!!! And if u inquire, let me know Butterz (my aka here!) sent ya!

Visiting from out of town. Gym was beautiful. People were nice. Coach Joe was a bit condescending, calling all of the women «sweetheart» or «dear», which makes me cringe. Didn’t demonstrate any of the movements or anything, which we are used to at our box. Would try another box if we go again this trip.

Hello I thought it was about time I left a review, long over do. I’ve been with CrossFit Las Vegas for about two years now and with all the choices in Las Vegas of boxes I am very fortunate to have found them. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to check these guys out first was because they were the first established in Las Vegas and that meant a lot to me because you just don’t see businesses like this lasts that long so I knew there was something special about this place. I pass by about six boxes on the way to work that I could go to, but from my first visit being introduced to CrossFit; fast forwarding two years later, this specific box the specific coaches in this specific sport has completely changed my life thanks to them.
I don’t know, but it just was so life-​changing for me and I am the type that likes to be pushed and challenged. Coach Joe don’t play, he put me through hell on my first day and I was totally miserable, and I will never forget when I hobbled up to the front counter and he looked at me and said «what do you think?»!and I said, «sign me up!» I’m not looking to hear a good job and I am not looking for anyone or anybody to give me false hope that I’m going to go to the CrossFit games or anything even in that vicinity. All I know is that CrossFit is indeed a community of many people, even the box you go to join or visit will have a diverse type or group of people that you might relate to you might not relate to, but the commonality is that we are crossfitters…
If you’re going to visit a gym or if you’re going to join a gym, just remember that the experience is good as you make it. All of us can have off days all of us have different sensitivities, but don’t expect anything to be handed to you on a SilverPlatter if you plan on participating in the sport and making it part of the rest of your life.
A big thank you to Coaches Joe, Blair, Aaron, Mikey, Erin, Gloria, Mike and the others that do such an awesome job at CrossFit Las Vegas by keeping us will instructed and safe.
I totally do recommend at least stopping by and giving this place is shot to see what they’re about. They have made many changes in infrastructure and in the facility itself. The changes are very positive and you can see that Joe does care about his business and the people who work for him and the members. Thank you for changing my life CrossFit Las Vegas!

Worked out at the 6am class while in Vegas for work. It was great to be able to WOD while traveling. Everyone in the class was very nice and I got a great workout. The gym is co-​located with another gym /​weightlifting facility. At the time I visited ⁸⁄₂₀₁₄ the front room /​lobby area was under construction.

Wonderful box. Staff was great, class was a lot of fun, and members were really friendly!

Check them out. Good oly area/​set up, had that gritty feel. Friendly staff and nice equipment.

Great crew, great instruction and great workout. I’ll be back here whenever I’m in Vegas. Thanks

Good place for a heck of a workout. Not really into cross fit but its good for cross training if done right. I enjoy the fast paced, push your self workouts though and you will definetly get pushed. Check it out but go with an actual understanding of what cross fit really is.

Okay. I have been a member of CFLV for almost 6 months now and should have written the kind of review that it deserves months ago. It is the continued outstanding leadership of the owner and the relationships that I have formed with the other members that has compelled me to finally write this review. So here it goes:
I moved to Vegas in January 2013 and didn’t know a single person in this city. I had been doing CrossFit for a little over a year and knew that my first step (before purchasing a bed or ya know, finding a job) was to find what would be my next CFit gym. I simply Google’d ‘CrossFit Las Vegas’ and whataya know. CFLV was the first to pop up on my search. I didn’t even look around the site, research Unilocal reviews or anything — just needed to find the hours of operation and a contact. I sent the owner (Joe) an email and he told me to drop-​in the next day during his class. (10AM).
Now, as outgoing and fearless as I am, I was really nervous. To the point that I almost didn’t go. It took the encouragement of the coaches from my previous gym and texts from all of my friends to convince me to actually show up. The 10AM class that day was pretty small, about 7 – 10 people (3 of which ended up becoming my best friends). Everyone was super friendly and inviting and the WOD was killer. Joe asked my thoughts when it was over and I told him that I was pretty convinced CFLV would be my new box. He encouraged me to try some other places, making sure I knew that there were gyms much closer to me. And that’s when I knew this gym was unlike any other. Joe wasn’t worried about another dollar sign coming through the door, he genuinely cared about the people and making sure they got what they needed out of CrossFit.
Two weeks went by and I still hadn’t found a job so I hadn’t returned to sign up and pay my first month of membership. I had to use what little money I had on things like food and gas (so annoying) and I felt CrossFit calling out to me every morning when my alarm went off and I knew I should be heading to 6AM class. One afternoon I got an email from Joe, asking if I had been able to find a gym and how my transition to Vegas was going. That’s when I was sold. Not only did this place care about me in regards to CrossFit, I was clearly valued as a person as well. I emailed back and told him he’d be seeing my bright, smiling face the very next day because even though I hadn’t visited any other gyms, I felt confident I was making the right decision. I took a trip to Coinstar that night and showed up for his 10AM class the next day.
Over the last few months as my jobs and schedule have changed, I am no longer able to make Joe’s 10AM classes. I bounced back and forth between 830AM and 6AM before finally settling on the suicide hour of 6. Michael Ty became my regular coach and this guy seriously knows his stuff. He’s tough and he may play Country music to irritate you, but his athletic and coaching ability are unmatched by any other gym that I’ve ever been to. The quality of training seen at CFLV in general is unlike any other that I’ve experienced. It’s simply, elite.
A few months ago I injured myself and my CFit career hasn’t been the same since. I continued to push and keep up my 4−5x/week regimen before my body threw up the white flag. I have since taken the last 2 months off but kept my membership going in hopes that one day I would magically wake up healed. No such miracle has occurred yet, but I digress. Money became an issue and I was seriously considering putting my membership on hold as it was no use to me. Joe got wind of this and immediately reached out to me. He has since become an integral part of my rehab and re-​dedication to CrossFit and I couldn’t be more grateful. He has proven yet again that he cares about every single one of his members.
Whether you’re just in town to visit, new to town, or a Vegas native — consider stopping by CrossFit Las Vegas. It is full of friendly people who are always looking to expand their family of friends. (And give you a good ass-​kicking in the process)!

I dropped in as a visitor with my boyfriend last Friday for the 9am class. Vili checked us in at the front and got us ready to go. He was also our trainer for the class. I loved that there was only 5 of us taking the class. 9am is pretty early for Las Vegas. The space was big, they also had a lot of equipment.
The WOD involved Tabata. It was a great work out, high intensity. Vili was a great trainer and coached me one on one when he had the chance. He was also encouraging towards everyone. Since my boyfriend and I have a house in Vegas we will definitely be back!

CrossFit hurts SO good! We have a love/​hate relationship and I couldn’t be happier.
This is a long review. Sorry. But it truly reflects on just how awesome this gym is. If you have any reservations, please read and consider my words.
If you’re looking to REALLY get into shape and make a life change, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
Let me start by saying I wasn’t stoked to join CrossFit in the beginning. My fiancé talked me into it and I went in with a completely open-​mind. My mindset beforehand was that it would be your typical douchebag gym (sorry, just being real) and that there would be your stereotypical gym rats, girls wearing makeup with their hair down trolling dudes and ditto for the jock type dudes trolling girls. Ya know, kind of like LVAC. They also placed a lot of emphasis on community, so that worried me, as I’m there to get my workout on, not to make friends.
How wrong I was…
I’m still a newbie and just entered my third week of On Ramp — which is basically a class that meets three days a week for the first month you join. It assists in teaching you each and every lift so that you’ve mastered it before jumping into the real classes. I’ve learned so much and my form is getting better and better. Mind you, I’ve never been a lifter. I’ve always been in Ballet, Gymnastics, running and Yoga. So this is all very new to me. I appreciate this class so much as it really teaches you how to master these lifts. This is vital as it will avoid future injury, and, well, you’ll know what you’re doing. Makes sense, eh?
The coaches are incredible! In the past, I’ve participated in several boot camp classes around the Vegas area and am used to having some jerk screaming at me. It never REALLY bothered me, but it would’ve been nice to have some encouragement in the midst of all the yelling. I mean, I wasn’t joining the marines, but it kinda felt like I was with all the confrontational yelling. Also, my previous Boot Camp instructors never really taught us exactly how to perform a move, whether it be lifting, crawling on the floors. whatever. It was all about banging it out, which could result in injuries later in life. The coaches at CrossFit are completely opposite. They pay close attention to what you’re doing and mastering your form in each lift. And it’s not just lifting weights. it’s pull ups, sit ups, jump ropes, stretching, etc.etc. They’re very encouraging and have played a vital role in motivating myself and all of the other members in my current class. I honestly look forward to working out. I’m currently in the 7am class. And let me just say, I am NOT a morning person. Honestly, watching the sun rise to me is overrated. I hate mornings. I. hate. mornings. But the workouts kick a** and are an excellent way to start off the day. Oh, and, again the coaches play a big role in that. So getting up at 6am to work out ain’t bad at all.
They have a ton of classes available to work with your schedule. For On Ramp (your beginner month) their earliest class is at 7am but they offer other time slots. Once you hit the real classes and are done with your initial training month, they have classes that start as early as 6am but also have a zillion other time slots available.
Another thing, is that they teach you on healthy eating habits. They’re pretty content with the Paleo Diet, however, I’m not a big meat eater and I’m a lover of cheese. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a personal preference, but I’ve heard rave reviews in regard to the Paleo Diet, so it’s definitely something to consider. I plan on taking any additional healthy habits that they teach me. To me, it will be all about moderation and making healthy foodie choices.
Oh, and the gym is a gym. Straight up. No bells and whistles. It’s large, open and clean.
I must repeat, if you’re looking to REALLY get into shape and make a life change, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! They have free open classes on Saturdays for people to come and give it go. You don’t have to sign up, but it will give you a taste of what CrossFit and the coaches have to offer. I repeat: You don’t have to sign up. The coaches allow you to make this decision, they don’t pressure you into doing something you’re not 100% in agreeance with. There were a few people in my first free Saturday class that didn’t join and the coaches were like, «Cool! Come back any time and have a great day!»
Give them a call, ask for Joe Marsh, he’s a cool dude (or any coach) and they’ll be happy to get you in for a free Saturday class. You are also welcome to email them. They are usually very quick to respond.
Believe me, you won’t regret it. Worst case scenario, you get a good workout in, meet some nice people and that’s that. No harm done.

What can I say, this place is like a second home. I’ve been a CFLV member for 2 years now and I am in the best shape of my life. The coaches are amazing and highly motivating. You always feel like you’re part of a team, yet the competitive element of CrossFit keeps you challenging yourself to work harder. Everyone encourages each other to do well and that makes each and every workout feel great, no matter how hard it is.
The gym itself is HUGE. The workouts are scaled to your level so that anyone can do them. When I started, I couldn’t do one pull-​up, and now I can bust them out like I’m GSP. I highly encourage anyone to give it a try. I guarantee you will be hooked.

$ 10 Visitor drop in rate if your coach emails them to let them know you’re dropping by… overall one of the largest and most spacious CrossFit boxes in the country that I’ve ever seen… if you’re looking for a great workout to squeeze all those toxins out from a night in Sin City, then CrossFit Las Vegas is a good place to do so.

I had the lucky chance to score a Living Social voucher to attend CrossFit Las Vegas’s On Ramp introductory session. It is definitely introductory, but the WODs are still pretty intense and you get a pretty good work out. My OnRamp buddies were pretty lucky because our group got Joe Marsh as our instructor. He definitely knows his CrossFit! He was able to teach us all of the right form and techniques for the majority of the CrossFit exercises as well as any progressions if we could not physically do the exercise yet. He even taught us different ways of stretching to help the tense muscles you get from CrossFit work outs. He likes to quiz the class to ensure that everyone knows the answers and he has a way of getting everyone in the class involved and pumped to get a good work out.
I definitely enjoyed the OnRamp session and plan to join CrossFit Las Vegas on my next paycheck. CrossFit is not your normal workout regimen, it’s definitely going to be a change of lifestyle and I can’t wait to begin that journey with CrossFit Las Vegas!

Joe Marsh is doing a great job in explaining all of the movments and keeping us from injuring ourselves. I’m in the on ramp course which is an intro to cross fit and helps establish proper form for the movements. The end of each day is a highly intense workout which always kicks my butt, but its totally worth the whooping to feel stronger! I highly recommend at least the on ramp (that’s all I have experience with) for anyone who either has or will have fitness and strength training as a part of their life!

I had the pleasure of visiting CF LV while on vacation last week and although I didn’t workout there (stomach virus yuck) Joe did take time out of his day to talk to me and answer quite a long list of questions I had about his gym.
If you’re in the Vegas area and you are looking for a gym that is professional and welcoming with a very strong and supportive community, then you can’t do any better than CrossFit Las Vegas.
–Great Space
–Variety of Classes
–Trainers were at one point gym members who then wanted to become coaches so they’re passionate and committed
–Family fun events (BBQs, batting cages, bowling)
–A welcoming place for all types of people regardless of previous experience or athletic/​fitness goals

I have been working out at Crossfit Las vegas for almost a full year now and absolutely LOVE this crossfit community. The gym is in a huge space with lots of equipment and a variety of different coaching techniques. Whether you want to get fit, lose some weight, work on your gymnastics skills, your olympic weightlifting skills, or get stronger, they have something for everyone.
The best part about CFLV to me is the community that comes with it. The gym has wonderful trainers who actually care about your well being and are there to answer anything you’d like them to. Not only are the trainers wonderful people but the members there have helped to push me to do things I never thought possible.
I am fitter than I’ve ever been in my life and it is all thanks to my friends over at CFLV. Keep up the good work guys!

I’ve been working out at CFLV for almost 2.5 years now and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else! The workouts are programmed to promote overall health, fitness, and results. The coaches encourage their athletes throughout the work out and even through community outreach! The classes are programmed to accommodate all skill levels and with the new location/​management they are even offering a Barbell Class (weight training).
Not only are the coaches amazing, but so are all the members. I consider many of them amongst my closest friends and love being able to workout with them every week! Bottom line: THIS GYM IS AMAZING!

HATE Nothing.
DISLIKE Availability of sessions throughout the week. Workout music is hardly updated.
LIKE The simple layout and size of the gym.
LOVE The motivational, highly skilled trainers. The various Workouts of the Day (WODs). Movements are scalable to any weight, disability or fitness level. Sense of community among its members. Ability to keep track of progress through actual whiteboard or Beyond the Whiteboard computer program. Availability of a microwave and refrigerator for pre– and post-​workout nutrition.
