CrossFit Surf City

I’ve been going to CFSC for a few years now and I honestly cannot see myself stopping. The results I get I would never be able to in a normal gym setting, no way I can push myself the way their classes are set up. The workout is intense but each one is modified for your level (beginner, intermediate, RX). Beyond the health benefits is the community of amazing people whom I consider very close friends of mine over time! If you’re curious about crossfit I would suggest taking a free class and talking to Anthony (owner) about your fitness goals!

Being from Norcal, my BF and I were looking for a place in the area to work out and came across Crossfit Surf City. They were super accommodating and let us use their facility as an open gym, which many other Crossfit boxes don’t offer many hours of.
The facility itself is very clean and open. It’s not a huge space, but it definitely works and has all the equipment for a fairly large group to work out. On the second day of our visit, I was able to jump into a noon Crossfit class coached by Anthony, the owner. He was super nice and engaged the whole class and made me feel welcomed, which is nice when you’re a visitor and everyone else in the class already knows each other. As we went through the class, I felt he was a very well qualified and knowledgable coach able to keep an eye on everyone as we moved and gave feedback and praise consistently.
I had a great time at CFSC and definitely will stop by again when I’m in the area!

Crossfit Surf City is unlike any other. I have been friends with many of the people for years before the gym, but when I joined the box my circle grew by so many. It is a community of strength both physical and mental, as well as a place to grow into the person you truly want to see yourself as. Every workout is well organized, planned out, and executed. I am an avid runner and wanted to gain strength. I am not the best at self motivation, and was always intimidated by «big weights». Crossfit Surf City is a safe haven to truly see what you are capable of, and do it with your friends.
Join Crossfit Surf City and you will never look back!

CrossFit Surf City is my home. It’s where I go to sweat, to relieve stress, to get stronger, to socialize, to be surrounded by an environment that supports and encourages you to develop as an athlete, regardless of your current fitness level.
Every gym has its own culture — CFSC is welcoming. Competition is friendly, not cut-​throat. It’s populated by those of all shapes and sizes and ages. There is an emphasis on good form and safety. Coaches are knowledgeable and engaging — encouraging you through a hard workout, keeping an eye on the clock, and teaching you how to improve.
I tried several CrossFit gyms in HB before choosing this one 3 years ago. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. CrossFit is hard work — CFSC makes it enjoyable.

Let’s start with all the NO’s that go along with Crossfit Surf City:
Waiting for a machine
Listening to someone elses cell phone conversation (even if you didn’t want to)
Listening to someone elses iPod (even if you didn’t want to)
Having to ask to ‘work in’ because they have been using the only set of dumbbells that weight
Watching crappy TV (that no one seems to be able to change the channel w/​o permission)
Getting ‘training advice’ from someone who sits behind the counter playing Angry Birds
Constantly getting an upsell on your membership, or for training sessions
Wondering if you did that workout correctly
Here are the YESSES
An hour long workout that will let you know you worked out
Coaches who will treat you like an athlete (no matter what level that is)
Individual coaching to make sure you are doing the moves correctly
Friends who are all in the workout together
Professional help from professional athletes
Inspiration every time you complete a workout
A per training session that is significantly less than if you were paying for the same sessions at another gym.
The best Crossfit knowledge in Orange County (bar none)
I should have followed through the first time I contacted Crossfit Surf City three + years ago. Not knowing these lists really kept my on the sidelines. Now that I’m there, I can’t imagine not being there. I’ve been to another regular gym (a NO list gym where I still have a membership – at least for this last month), and I realized just how much I hated that NO list, and just how much of a difference Crossfit Surf City has made

Not all crossfit gyms are built the same. You have to try them out to see if the crossfit gym fits you. My friends have tried different crossfit places and compared to my experience its not the same as mine. I really can tell you how much i love this crossfit gym. The staff is great and inspiring. I have never done a squat or dead lifting. The staff took their time and helped me with my form. Its not perfect but i know i will get there. My follow crossfitters are encouraging and awesome!!! I am a big guy but there are women here that are stronger and faster then me! I inspire to be as strong as them. Each workout has different levels from beginner to advance. Which is great for someone like who never done most of the workouts and movements that crossfit is based around.
I have been overweight all my life. Within the last year I have lost about 50 lbs and feel great, but i was looking for something that could keep me motivated. I was introduced to crossfit. Complete game changer! I have never workout so hard in my life. Btw crossfit has gave this no-​ass-​at-​all asian a semi-​booty… THANKS Surf City!
