Crossfit Insurgent

I needed to finally give these guys a review. I luv this box. From everything to the coaches the classes everything is just right. I always enjoy and look forward to working out after a long stressful week or work day. You show up and never know what to expect, every day is a different workout that pushes you to the limit! I thought I was in awesome shape before I joined crossfitinsurgent boy was I wrong. If you’re thinking about joining a crossfit gym I would highly recommend crossfitinsurgent. One of the best decisions I’ve made regarding my fitness.

What a life changing decision! Awesome coaches, and welcoming members! Best investment I’ve made, recently my son asked to join and now is in Crossfit Kids and he looks forward to Coach Jake and his class every week. My daughter has decided to join also! We love this place. Words can not express how much Crossfit Insurgent has done for me! Worth EVERY dollar ! The beginners class is perfect for those who are scared, one step at a time you can and will do it!!! Take your life back and join today!!!

One of the best crossfits I have ever experienced. Great experienced coaches. I lost weight, feel strong and energetic.
Thank you coach Brian, Arron, and Jake.

Love coming to this crossfit gym. Being an older woman I found it hard to go to gym classes they were very large and I didn’t feel a part of. Since joining crossfit insurgent I enjoy coming to class I feel a part of a team it’s awesome. I’m doing things I always felt intimidated doing at a gym like lifting weights.
To me coach Brian is like a millinium Jack LA Lane.
He takes the time to show you how to do it right then encourages you to keep going.
As for the rest of the coaches they are just as caring and encouraging.
Can’t wait to start Friday night lights.

When i came to CFI in October of 2014, i had a little experience with crossfit. I knew of it and some of the basic movements. When i took the free into class with Joey and Coach Jake, i knew right away that this was the right CF box for me. As soon as i finished up my couple safety classes i jumped right into the regular wods and it didn’t take long to meet people. Everyone there, including the coaches, are very helpful and friendly. Fast forward to today and i feel like we are all family. What Coach Vic and Brian have done here is not just a box, but a very kid friendly, clean, professional, understanding, impeccable family oriented environment. The fact that they offer a free after school program for the kids is what puts icing on the cake. Crossfit Insurgent is one of the best things that could have happened to me in 2014. I feel healthier and stronger everyday, i won’t look back on how i felt and looked before joining CFI. The future is bright

I joined Crossfit Insurgent 3 months ago and I have to say it was and is the BEST DECISION i have made in my life. If you do not know Brian he is an awesome box owner, and all the coaches are friendly and helpful. Datgat and Coach Aaron have helped me get my form right for lifting and I have not lifted this much weight since I lifted everyday in the offseason for football 8 years ago in high school. If you are in the area drop in for a WOD, or come to a free session, everyone at the box is welcoming! Thanks CFI!

This is hands down the top Crossfit gym in town. Yes, the trainers are great but more importantly it’s a family. The moment you walk through the door, you will feel welcome. I guarantee you’ll love it.

Best thing I ever did was switch to CFI. I love how they are so creative in their CF WODS. They get you out of your comfort zone & I love that extra push. Everyone welcomed me with open arms. Everyone is so nice & knowledgable. Can’t wait to see what the new year of 2016 has for me & my fitness journey!

Crossfit Insurgent has become a way of life for me. A gym that is well organized, clean and welcome to all. Great trainers who are always looking out for their members. A special shout out to Coach Jake who makes working out challenging yet fun. Highly recommended for all ages and all athletic levels.

I look forward to working out at Insurgent. I don’t have a lot of time to work out after my job due to kids practices. The location is perfect and the hours fit my tight schedule. The staff is great. They are motivating, professional, and well trained. I get a great workout, talk to some wonderful people on my busy timeframe. It’s perfect.

Was in town for work and found Crossfit Insurgent online as a well reviewed box to drop-​in.
Brian was quick to respond to my email and quite generous in his drop-​in policies.
The space is clean and well maintained and full of friendly, enthusiastic athletes training hard.
The coaches were knowledgable and lead the group in some dynamic stretching to warm up, a strength portion, WOD and finally a group cool-​down. All measured tops in my book!
A great place to drop-​in and would be a really great place to call your home box.
Fans of Oly lifters should take note they have a separate Oly class that looked LEGIT! The lifters I saw every morning had clearly been coached very well and displayed fantastic form and discipline. Brian told me about some of the world-​class lifters that had made the gym their home during the summer months and it’s clear they left a lasting impression.
Really cool gym. Really cool people.

I just started Crossfit and was extremely nervous to start. I am so glad I started here, the coaches (Jake, Aaron and Airen) are knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. They have a variety of classes. The WOD’s are tough, but you walk out feeling good both mentally and physically.

Emailed the gym a day before to see if I could drop in on a WOD from coming out of town and luckily the last two weeks of the year they open their doors for free! That was a plus instead of paying $ 10 per session at golds gym somewhere. Brian was a great guy who leads a good class! Defiantly recommend this gym!

I have been involved with Crossfit for over 5 years. I have trained at some of the best gyms and CF Insurgent is defiantly one of my favorite gyms. The facility is in excellent condition and is always clean. There is plenty of room to accommodate everyone. I know that some boxes are literally boxes but this CF box is huge. Next, in crossfit programming is extremely key. The team of talented and dynamic coaches create excellent programming for all different levels and abilities that are involved. All of the coaches specialize in different areas so the programs are unique. With programming this box does NOT offer the one class fits all model. I like how there are different classes throughout the day that are different. The schedule of classes varies between traditional Crossfit WOD classes, Hitcon with is a high intensity cardio class. Crossfit football which caters to athletic conditioning, and Olympic Lifting class also referred to as Oly. All classes are really fun. Personally my favorite class is Oly. I started attending the class regularly in August and have become addicted. I have learned so much from Coach Aaron that has drastically improved my weight lifting capabilities. With the coaches training I often find myself exceeding my expectations and pushing myself to lift heavier weight both correctly and safely. Overall CF INSURGENT is an awesome place. I relocated to the Los Angeles area for school earlier this year not knowing anyone and this box has turned into family. The members are all very encouraging and passionate about making themselves better athletes. The owner Coach Brian is very welcoming he makes everyone feel awesome. He is always smiling and is passionate about seeing his members succeed in everything they do. The other Coaches Aaron A., Coach Jake and Coach Liz are all cool individuals as also. Each of them carry traits and it works because each of them use different tools to help you to become the best. Also this box is really big in community building amongst members. The box often puts on events to get members together and often times the events are fun. The box also gives back to the community by doing a free after school program for local teens to promote health and wellness and there are always charity events sponsored by the box to give back to the community.
My only complaint about the gym is that I wish it had more GHD sit-​up stations so that the particular motion associated with it could be incorporated into the workouts. Other than that I highly recommend this gym to anyone, it’s a fun relaxed atmosphere great place to meet you fitness goals. Definitely check it out.

Dropped in from out of town. Felt very welcomed by members and staff. Very impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the box. Would definitely come back and also recommend this box for a great place to workout. Good community feeling. Thanks for the above average hospitality!

My wife and I both very much enjoy working out at Crossfit Insurgent and have nothing but good things to say about them. Brian and his staff are great to work with. The workouts are not easy and they will push you which, but they also gladly help us to work through or modify any areas we may not be as strong in. We might be the «oldtimers» of the group, but we have made many new friends in our time there, making it all the more enjoyable a place to work out at.

(Review for the over 30 crowd)
I have been working out for over 15 years, and I have always trained for sports, or the benefits that working-​out does for your health. Several years ago, I notice I lacked motivation in the gym and struggled to find work-​out partners or time to hit gym, for work and family obligations took up my time. My body and energy low energy levels began to reflect my lack of commitment to fitness. I needed a change and I discovered Crossfit Insurgent. It was a community consisting of all professional and walks of life, from family moms and dads, to young college kids who just wanted challenge themselves to be fittest, but achieve their goals individually and together as community because we all have different goals. The gym has trainers in backgrounds from Olympic Lifting and Fitness gurus to Football coaches who can peak your physical and athletic performance. The owner and members treat each other like family, and even my daughter comes along and plays in the kids corner with other kids. If you are looking for a fitness community that offers competitive, nurturing, supportive environment, as well a family feel where all are welcome, this gym is a great Crossfit Box.

After a couple of months of attending Crossfit Insurgent, I think I’m ready to review. I started off looking into different boxes in the San Gabriel/​LA County area but, this one stood out to me in particular. This place is clean, and well organized.
The fitness aspect is excellent, but the community here is why I stick around. There are so many good gyms that are much closer but, I find that the people at CFI, coaches and everyone else, make it worth the few extra miles. The comradery and open atmosphere give this gym its personal touches. Brian, Joey, and Jenny are the primary coaches I have worked with. They are friendly, knowledgeable, approachable, technical, and patient.
CFI has a variety of classes and schedules to meet any busy body, including myself, to incorporate an active lifestyle. I’m a single mother of two and I’m so happy to have the option to bring them and watch them in the kiddie corner while I get my WOD done.
I am learning to tailor new health goals and I’m glad to say I’m a part of this Crossfit family in my journey to improvement.

Been waiting till I gave this place some time to post a review as I enjoyed it much at the beginning and was waiting for the honeymoon phase to wear off, but it hasn’t. I look forward to coming each day to tackle the new Workout of the Day.
Initially came in to do the free Crossfit intro workout and was intimidated by all the equipment with the big weights, as I didn’t come in with a great deal of strength or workout experience and was led by a really fit dude. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the feel of the workout and felt it the next day, and it made me want to come back. While all the trainers are fit and got the physiques that we’d all like, they are all easy to talk with, have great personalities, and take time to get to know your name and encourage you on.
The Fundamentals series helps you learn 1 on 1 how to do all the moves that will be in the WOD’s. As part of it, they throw in a short chiro session to measure your flexibility to make sure it’s safe for you.
While the WOD’s appear like a challenge, and they are a good one, they have scaling options for those who are semi fit and not fit at all and trying.
After a few weeks, you will feel part of the team and look forward to challenging yourself as often as possible.
The gym itself is a good size, not small and stuffy like one other local one I tried out. Lots of parking, plenty of quality equipment, and a great positive atmosphere that will make you want to come more and more. Prices are similar to all the other local gyms, but this one seems to offer more classes, times, and for those like me who pick up kids after school, they have a small area for them to play Legos and toys at during your workout for no extra charge.
My only small gripe is the online info, as much seems to be a bit outdated.
Give it a try for the free workout through their website. You will learn a bit about Crossfit, learn some of the moves, go through a workout, and hear about pricing in a very no pressure manner. I didn’t sign up on the free workout, as I am naturally cautious, but felt myself wanting to come back and did so quickly.

I’ve been a member of CFI for about 1 month now. I’m new to Crossfit and was very nervous about finding the right place that would give me the kind of encouragement I need to succeed. CFI has some amazing coaches that give great positive motivation and recognize that we’re all coming from different levels of fitness.
The Insurgent family is also very motivating and each class feels as though you are part of a team that wants to see you succeed and is EXCITED for you when you do! I would highly recommend this for any beginner of Crossfit like myself, and for those who are veterans of the program.
