Norcal Crossfit Mountain View

NorCal has the best coaches and facilities in the area. The owner, Jason Khalipa, won the Crossfit Games and is the most innovative and reputable gym owner in the Crossfit community. Show up in a NorCal t-​shirt at any other box in the world and the coaches will ask you about Jason’s programming, his coaching staff and his training philosophy. I’ve been at a few that follow Norcal’s programming for ideas about how to train their own members. JD runs the Mt. View location and is a former strength and conditioning coach at Iowa State. Very high energy, always positive and can really communicate the finer points about the more complicated movements. Evan, DH, Denicia and Megan all find a way to get you to push a little harder in each workout. All are very accomplished Crossfitters. This is a really professional organization — very welcoming to newcomers of any athletic background. If you are looking for a fitness option that works and want the best coaching around, give NC Mt. View a shot.

I had pretty limited experience with Crossfit before coming here. They took extra time to make sure that I was doing everything correct as to avoid injury. The facility is clean and well organized. A much more polished and beginner-​friendly experience than I’ve had at other Crossfit gyms.

Top of the line service and top of the line coaching staff. Coaches took time going over movements in a breakdown that was fun and easy to follow and made all levels of fitness feel welcome and capable of completing whatever the workout demanded.

I was really disappointed with the experience I had simply trying to drop in Wednesday evening. I was in town for a job interview started driving after to see if I tan into a gym or box I could get a workout in to kill time while traffic died down. As someone who has been doing Crossfit for over 3 years I was excited to see NorCal Crossfit and decided to walk in to see how much it was to drop in. I see a female coach just about to send out her class for their warm up run and approach her. She informs me it’s free for first drop in but instead of politely asking if I have ever done Crossfit she looks at me and assumes I had never done Crossfit. YES I realize I am not a size 2 but to me that was not only rude but disappointing because Crossfit is suppose to be accepting of all people shaped and sizes and that is not how I felt at all.
On top of that I realize it was 5 minutes into the class and realize it’s late but I inform her I have done Crossfit and am interested but she lets me know the class has already started and next class wouldn’t be u til 7:30pm at the same time someone is walking in late for class and he joins without a problem. I would have hoped that a box so known would welcome me excitedly but that was not the case.
