It's SO great. I've never had a better and more efficient workout in my LIFE. and honestly if I lived or worked closer to here I'd be coming here way more often.
I'm on Class Pass and this is probably my FAVORITE gym so far. At my first work out (B X) here when I was using the barbells I actually thought I was going to throw up and had to slow down. That said - It's not intimidating at all and you really go at your own pace and ability. The instructors are there to give you pointers and make sure your form are correct, but that's it. If you need to chill out you can and no one will force you to get back in. But because you see everyone around you pushing as hard as they can you start pushing as hard as you can too.
I FRIGGIN LOVE BRICK. So I'd never taken actual crossfit classes before, but have done plenty of bootcamp. I was a little wary of coming here initially because I thought I'd be in a class full of bulky meatheads, but really people from all walks of life do crossfit ... at BRICK. For a "bare bones" type gym it is really nice and really well kept. They have all the equipment you need to be a friggin badass.
