Cold Storage CrossFit

I joined Cold Storage Crossfit on Halloween 2013 and since then have grown a lot during this crossfit journey through the skilled coaches (Tyler, Antioco and Christi) and supportive and encouraging community. Some movements I thought I would never achieve, like double unders, I began to get. I have so much more to learn and will always be striving for better technique, fitness and strength. My main sport is outrigger canoe paddling and I have used crossfit to grow stronger in the core and increase my endurance thru the relatively short but intense sessions. This year I achieved the height of my sport (an endurance paddle relay of 44 miles from Molokai to Oahu) and am in the greatest fitness level ever at the age of 46!
Recently I had to move to another town because of work and joined a Box at that location. giving me some comparison since before now all I knew was Cold Storage.
I have to say — Cold Storage is a gem, the facilities are amazing and well organized and equipped; the WODs are creative and also traditional; the coaches are always watchful and helpful in critiquing technique; community has a culture of friendliness, motivating one another and also a selflessness — like when you are first to the stretch bands for example, no one just gets one for themselves, they hand out one for everyone — and vice versa when putting something away.
I have found that this isn’t the case everywhere. Cold Storage Crossfit got me hooked on this lifestyle of fitness — that really becomes a part of you.

Cold Storage CrossFit has completely revamped my idea of what a good workout is. I decided to join a month ago to build my strength up before returning to school, and I wish I had joined sooner. I was completely clueless to what crossfit was coming into it, and thanks to Cold Storage CrossFit, I am now addicted. The instructors do such an awesome job at helping you understand and learn movements in a way that is suited for your abilities, and you never feel as if you can’t do something. The quality that really made my experience so incredible, was the family like atmosphere they have there. I was intimidated to try something new, and in the past at gyms everything felt like a competition with everyone else. But since my first class the other members were nothing but welcoming and encouraging to me as a newcomer. Every workout of the day felt like a team effort whether it was a partner exercise or not. Cold Storage CrossFit is more than just a mundane workout, it is a high energy, fun, challenging way to get in the best shape of your life. I have officially been converted, thank you Christi and the Cold Storage Family for adopting me for a month, I hope to be back in the summer, and again:
Take the first step and try out the free intro class, and open your life up to this awesome experience.

This place is top notch! I am from Long Beach, CA and have been CrossFitting down there for the last 2 ½ and been a trainer at a box there for over a year as well. First off the Box has a great equipment set up and a great atmosphere. It isn’t the biggest CrossFit box that I have been to, but while it may appear small it more than makes up for in quality training and good training atmosphere, which anyone who has been cross fitting for awhile will tell you is just as important as the WODs themselves. Christi is an extremely welcoming owner and is very CrossFit knowledgeable. She also allows her trainers to push new and older athletes. Also from other observations I made while spending time there for my WOD, she organizes CrossFit movie nights, CrossFit Trips to see the Open, and viewing parties for the games. Any level CrossFitter would do well at this box as well as feel welcomed into the community. I will definitely return to this box when I am in the area and would highly recommend Cold Storage CrossFit to anybody interested in starting or continuing CrossFit in the Hollister/​San Benito County area.

This place is awesome. I’m officially addicted. It’s competitive, fun, scaled to your fitness level and the people here are great. I will never work out at a typical gym again (you’re wasting your money). You’ll be physically challenged here from day one and it’s a chance to get in the best shape of your life. You will get better every day. Great thing it’s not all 20-something’s. All ages and fitness levels.
Christi is a dedicated owner. She continually updates the equipment and makes sure everyone is improving. And she keeps it fun!

My boyfriend and I officially joined Black Friday 2012. We love the tenacity, atmosphere and motivation/​training provided by the trainers! Elliot is by far the best trainer, genuinely cares about the progress clients make and provides them the extra push when needed!

What can I say… I’m HOOKED. Joined in July 2011 and has been nothing but good ever since. The staff is awesome, great facilities and an awesome sense of community. I have been fortunate enough to meet new people from many walks of life and we all reap the benefits of crossfit together. Crossfit til I die!

They offer a free week of workouts for people wanting to see what Crossfit is!
I am so glad that Cold Storage Crossfit has opened! They are actually having a GRAND OPENING this weekend March 5^th 2011 and will be raffling off a FREE MONTH’S MEMBERSHIP and some other neat stuff. My husband is going for the free workout @ 12pm!
Grand Opening is March 5^th (Saturday) from 11−2pm
