CrossFit Granada Hills

A welcoming environment — I was extremely intimidated at the thought of CrossFit, but my boyfriend was very curious and had suggested we try it out a few times. He even purchased a Groupon to CFGH which had opened across the street from my apartment. I was very dismissive and honestly I was intimidated, heavy weights, intensity, and the cost. I grew up playing sports and have stayed fairly active, so I wasn’t detoured from physical activity. One day as we were walking our dog we wandered in and inquired. We were greeted by Coach, Mike, he kindly answered all of our questions. I felt a little better after speaking to him, but still felt like it was a commitment I wasn’t sure I could make.
A month later we were at our first class. Coach, Mike and everyone attending that class was extremely friendly and welcoming. They helped us with the movements and really just made us feel like we belonged, even though it was our first class and it was intense. We kept hearing «come back tomorrow even though you will be sore.» We did! I have enjoyed seeing how my body is responding, I feel stronger and leaner. This is all due to the encouragement, the focus on technique, the coaching, the variety of work outs, intensity, weight lifting, and loving CrossFit. Did I mention the quality of the coaching? The coaches, Mike, Tyler, and Bernal are smart, knowledgeable, and know their stuff. And they are approachable. Before CrossFit recovery from running a half marathon would take me at least two days. After CrossFit, I was out and about, off the couch that very same day. I don’t even think I took a nap! This all makes it worth it.
The community — everyone there is friendly, helpful, and encouraging. When I started coming to CFGH I had lived in the valley for about a year. Having relocated from the central valley, I didn’t know many people. Since being a member of CFGH, I have met so many amazing and inspiring individuals that I now call my friends. Not matter what class you attend, someone will cheerfully greet you and you’ll encourage each other to get through the intense work outs.

This is EASILY the BEST box I’ve ever been to. The coaches are super friendly and encouraging, the community is AMAZING (everyone who works out there has a great attitude and is incredibly welcoming), and the workouts are tough… Which keeps you coming back for more.

So great!!! Never thought I’d say that about a place that works me so hard, but it is so amazing. I was new to the Crossfit world, and as they do with anyone willing to try, Mike and Tyler have worked diligently to show me the ropes. I had previously heard that Crossfit causes injury etc., I can’t speak for other gyms, but there is no way Mike or Tyler are letting you do things with bad form or in any way that’d cause injury. They are professionals who know their stuff and are great at explaining all the movements and best practices.
Another great thing about CFGH is the people, the community here is so supportive and encouraging. I am fairly anti-​social and even I enjoy working out with these great people who always have encouraging words to keep you going during a WOD (workout). You get to know people during your hour class and really have fun working out with them and cheering each other on. CFGH also has plenty of social events where you can further get to know and have fun with all the great gym friends you gain!
I could go on and on but I’ll end on another great aspect of CFGH. They use Wodify, a great system/​site/​app that keeps track of your exercise & progress and even has a section that you can use to have Mike or Tyler help you with your nutrition and goals. I love going in and comparing how well I’m doing or how much more weight I’m lifting compared to weeks or months prior, it’s so motivating!
Sign up for the free trial or buy the groupon today! You won’t regret it.

I joined CFGH in August because I drank and did virtually nothing with my life over summer, so I figured it was time to get back in shape. The trainers, Mike and Tyler, are friendly and helpful dudes. Not to mention they’re both married so you could bring your girlfriend too and don’t have to worry about her not coming home with you.
I highly recommend checking this place out it you need some motivation to get in shape. I feel great. I feel so much less guilty when I drink tall boys and eat 4 Krispy Kremes in one sitting.

I started coming here in February and its been one of the best decisions of my life. I have lost 42lbs and 70 points on my cholesterol thanks to Mike and Tyler. It is difficult but everyone can do this. They scale the workouts to everyone’s individual abilities and you will be surprised at what you can achieve. The community here is awesome and you will instantly feel welcome here. Come give it a try and you will not regret it.

Simply put, this place is really great. I work out regularly but was new to CF. Really didn’t know what to expect and was kind of afraid that it would consist of really intense people and intimidation. Not the case whatsoever – Tyler and Mike have created a great environment and you learn a lot (and sweat a lot!) but still have a good time. You will absolutely be challenged but you won’t feel shunned or stupid if you are struggling. They’re organized and the gym and equipment are great. I really don’t know why anyone would be unhappy going here!

Where can I begin with #CFGH? I can happily say that CFGH has quickly become my fitness home. I don’t know if I’ve ever said that phrase before about a gym… because I’ve never considered a gym to be a place where there is community.
I’ve done the gamut of fitness things throughout the years, from being a lonely gym rat working out at 2am at the local 24 fitness, to going Group X fitness classes, to P90X, P90X2, and the plethora of offerings by
. But all of these options, for me, had just one thing in common: they were all largely individual experiences.
Now in my mid-​30s, it’s a bit harder to motivate myself… the desire to be fit and healthy is stronger than ever, but the challenge of being intrinsically motivated actually get fit is a lot more difficult. Binge-​watcing on Netflix anyone?
Enter #CFGH. Me and my girlfriend decided a couple of months ago to try #crossfit. The draw of community and the before and after pics and stories throughout our FB feed was too hard to ignore! We purchased the groupon for a month at CFGH for a heavy discount and told ourselves, «let’s try it for this month and if we find its not our thing we could just quit.»
Here we are 2 months later and we are happily interconnected in the CFGH community. I say community because this is one of the main draws of this gym for me. Community mixed with coaching from their expert coaches (Mike and Tyler) make for a sustainable fitness experience.
It’s not easy. Tomorrow’s WOD is dreadful… something like 100 burpees, 100 kettle bell swings, 100 box jumps and then some running. Dear God! Not easy, but fun when you’ve got other people you’ve befriended enduring the same grueling challenge. The support keeps your eyes on the prize and you push yourself like you’ve never done before. But that’s Crossfit.
Crossfit focuses on functional fitness: compound exercises that comprise a full body workout. It is a mix of metabolic conditioning, plyometrics, gymnastics, Olympic lifting and lots of mobility and flexibility training. Everyday is different and that’s what keeps it fun and not monotonous!
Happy to call myself a #CFGHer. Come by, try a week’s worth of classes, and feel the difference!

I hate going to a gym! That is why I paid for 2 years and can count on one hand the times I went. Here it’s different, CrossFit is different. You want to go early and stay late.
Tyler and Michael, the coaches, make you feel happy as you are dripping in sweat. The community, other folks in class, help you push through. They are so kind and encouraging.
This high intensity stuff is leggit. 3 months, five pounds and a belt hole later I am still loving the wods (work out of the day). You gotta come to CrossFit Granada Hills. We literally change our lives and our view on fitness and health here.

Love crossfitting here! If you have never done crossfit, hate your crossfit gym, or are just dropping in from out of town, I would go here! There are other crossfit gyms closer to where I live (staying in Simi Valley), but the 20 min drive here is worth it. I’ve been crossfitting for two years. Traveling a lot for work, I’ve been to numerous boxes around the country. And I have to say that CF Granada Hills is the gym I wish I had in my hometown!
Big space. New equipment– rowers, KB, wall balls, weights/​bars– everything a crossfit gym should have.
The coaches/​owners are great! They take the time to make sure you’re doing all the lifts correctly! Plus, they’re really friendly and very receptive to their members ideas and requests! They also build workouts around their members; the workouts aren’t cookie cutter… there’s no WOD where people are doing 4 rounds of 50 pull-​ups (since most people in the class would probably struggle to get 5 – 10). They tailor their workouts to what their members can realistically accomplish.
Class schedule – for the two guys running it, I’m surprised how many class times they offer! They even have classes on Saturday/​Sunday.
I think they also give new members a free week to try it out! You have nothing to lose! Really friendly environment!
Absolutely recommend!!! I dread the thought of going somewhere else!

Beautiful box, experienced and detailed coaching staff. This is a legit spot, brand new equipment, and it’s super clean. I highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area. I was a new student, registration was super easy and convenient, and the workout was awesome!

I’m so lucky to have stumbled upon Crossfit Granada Hills! Within a few weeks time I’m already seeing HUGE improvements in my flexibility, strength, weight loss, and overall fitness. Their facility is top notch with tons of space and brand new equipment to include Rogue fitness gear. Not only have Michael and Tyler impressed me with their knowledge and passion for fitness, but they are very down to earth and easy to talk to. Very professional coaches. Whether you are just looking to lose some weight while having fun, or you are a serious athlete looking to take your strength and conditioning to new levels, this is THE PLACE TO BE! Very happy to have found a home at Crossfit Granada Hills!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! Nice, large location and a wide variety of equipment. Mike and Tyler are doing an awesome job welcoming everyone into the CF Granada hills community and all of the new members are so awesome and supportive of each other. The WODs are fun, creative and strategically programmed. I definitely enjoy that they incorporate long warm ups and cool downs into their classes. Both coaches enforce a lot of mobility work which is important and are very knowledgeable. I’m really excited to be apart of this fast growing community. definitely recommend.
