CrossFit Fly

I love this gym… I have been a member for over three years. What keeps me coming back is the dedicated team of coaches that push me to strive to be my best, to get stronger and more fit. They care about me in ways I’ve not experienced with other fitness programs. From nutrition, to sleep and recovery… It’s a wholistic approach to total wellness. A big plus is the members form great bonds and friendships that extend beyond the gym. It feels like a community and a place you want to keep coming to, and participate. Check it out they have community workouts on Saturdays that are a blast to attend.

I don’t know how this company does business when interested customers call multiple times over a month and email to join and neither correspondence is returned. I even stopped by on my way to work during a week day to see if I could join in person and no one was there. I had to actually ask the company next door if Fly was even in business because it appeared to not even be in business. How are you going to get new customers with your business practices?
Had to repost because you deleted it… Tisk tisk

I became a member of CrossFit Fly in February after my running workouts became lackluster. I needed something else in my «fitness life». I wanted something different than the usual «Big Box» CrossFit gyms. I need more structure and someone to guide me. I have discovered a whole community of friends and supporters at «The Fly». I go to a structured class 3x a week and I love it. I feel no pressure to «increase my weights or go bigger». I go with what is comfortable for my fitness level. All of the coaches are awesome when working with form, movements, etc. Don’t be afraid of CrossFit when you can get the «right» instruction!

I was so intimidated by the word «Crossfit» but found this place and couldn’t be more excited! They make you feel so comfortable and educated me on everything! Excited to go back!

Crossfit Fly is an amazing place. The owner Jill has created a community of woman that supports you without judgement of where you are at physically or emotionally. But its also not the kind of support that allows you to give up on yourself and instead forces you to rise up to your own potential. I highly, highly recommend this gym for any woman looking to get fit in a safe, supportive, challenging community.

CrossFit Fly = Best Gym Ever
Prepare yourself for the novel below on why this is true.
I tried out several other CrossFit gyms in the area and once I experienced CrossFit Fly, I knew I found THE place to call my gym home!
PERSONAL STORY = A+
Before joining CrossFit Fly, I ran and worked out with a personal trainer. I was bored with my workouts and felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere. Now I’m in the best shape of my life and am actually having fun working out. Yes, you read that right — FUN. Who knew?
INSTRUCTION = A+
Every trainer is highly qualified and is truly dedicated to making sure you achieve your goals. Regardless of instructor, you can always know you’re getting the best training. This was something I was really concerned about before joining; now I’m in heaven! Coaches aren’t there to clock their hours or get through the day, but are genuinely involved with and are interested in helping you reach your highest potential. Currently training with Laura Olvera (Amazing!) and have trained with all other coaches — Ali, Aki, Gena, Summer, Punky, and owner Jill — and have yet to be disappointed! Best instruction, hands-​down, from these women.
SAFETY = A+
4x a week, I go somewhere and play at a grown-​up playground that feels safe and friendly. Many times, people have told me they’re scared that CrossFit is a reckless régime, is dangerous, and causes injuries. CrossFit Fly is committed to a safe environment where good decisions are made. I’m so much stronger and healthier than I ever thought possible. A coach has never pushed me more than I could handle and it’s great to know you can trust your leader and yourself. Proper form is shown every day, no matter how many times a movement has been done — and is drilled in each time.
ENVIRONMENT = A+
The atmosphere is incredible — such a healthy gym culture (in more ways than one!). Working out with ladies only makes for comfortable place to just be yourself. Every workout is scalable — regardless of your fitness level — and everyone is pushing their hardest. Training in a small group is the perfect blend of personal growth and team spirit. Everyone’s working to be their best and encouraging their fellow crew members all along the way. It’s also pretty darn clean for a place where people sweat all the time… hooray for sanitation!
LOCATION = A+
Super easy spot to get to, right next to John Wayne airport/​just off the 73 freeway in Newport Beach.
SUMMARY
If looking to get somewhere with your physical health and work out somewhere that will help you grow in more areas in your life than you even imagined, this is the place. As a bonus, you’ll make friends, which was one perk I didn’t even see coming.
That’s what you get at CrossFit Fly — the whole package!

I am 61 years old and have been Crossfitting at the Fly for over 2 years. Before I started Crossfit, everything ached! I was having problems with my knees (it hurt to run a ¼ mile) and my fingers and wrists ached with arthritis. Jill Baker and her team showed me how to eliminate the foods that were contributing to my inflammation, and how to build up the muscle around those aching joints to support them. I can now squat, lift, run, and box jump without pain, and keep up in some movements with women half my age.
The best part is that I look forward to going 3 – 4 times per week, and know that if I don’t show up i will be missed. The camaraderie of the all-​girls format is amazing. My «crew’ have become my very good friends. Sometimes it seems so hard I think I can’t finish, but with the encouragement and support of my coach and crew I always do, and the sense of accomplishment is indescribable.
Crossfit Fly has changed my life. Nuff said.

I love CrossFit Fly! The coaches are compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated. I’m feeling the most fit I’ve ever been in my life at age 55. I’m running, jumping, rope climbing, and lifting weights. It’s an incredible feeling! I highly recommend CrossFit Fly! Jill Baker and her team of coaches are phenomenal.

The coaches at Crossfit Fly are dedicated to their crews! I work out here 4 days a week and have seen amazing results in my health and body form over the past year and a half. I started seeing results in the first month, but once I started listening to my coaches, especially Jill Baker and Ali Adams, and eating better based on the Whole30, I started seeing amazing results. I have lost almost 10 pounds of body fat and fit into smaller size jeans. I am more toned, stronger than ever, and have more energy than ever before.
I attribute all of these things to the value of Crossfit Fly. If you are thinking of joining a gym, and are a woman in Orange County, Crossfit Fly is the place for you! You can’t beat the personalized service, amazing community of unique women, and the quality of the workouts that are programmed. Each crew has at a maximum of 10 women, so there is never a problem of overcrowding or of too little equipment. Every movement is scaleable to your abilities and you have a dedicated coach making sure that you are doing every movement right to prevent injury.
Not only is Crossfit Fly just a crossfit gym, but it is also a community. They put on fun events such as competitions, parties, challenges, and beauty events. There is always something fun planned — like a group of women running ½ marathons together and social outings.

Great gym! My wife started working out there years ago, and now she is teaching classes. Very scalable to get the results you want!

I joined this gym shortly after moving to Orange County in January of 2012 and haven’t looked back since. This woman’s gym has won me over! In my process of searching for a gym or new form of exercise I came across a variety of places and activities. Crossfit Fly’s boutique service (set class times with small number of women per class) and mission statment «to empower women through fitness» appealed to me.
Although a former athlete, runner, and moderately active woman, I had never done Crossfit before and was intimidated. My nerves quick diminished, as I was welcomed with genuine kindness and encouragement by everyone, something that is often rare in «Woman’s Only» anything. This is not a one size fits all gym. There are women of all ages with various athletic and experience levels, in all shapes and sizes. We are all motivated to different degrees and levels, but in the end we’re all there for the same reason… to become better. My coach (Ali), and the other coaches are approachable, knowledgeable, and have a knack at working with you at an individual level in order to understand your personal goals to help you meet them.
This is no sissy gym, it’s hard, somedays harder than others, but in return results happen faster and are sustaniable. I much prefer the «get it done» workouts associated with Crossfit as compared to the long, boring cardio classes or running I’ve done in the past. In fact with only going to Crossfit Fly 2 days a week vs running 4 – 5 days a week, my body began to transform within a month, I was amazed. For me it’s more manageable and I feel and look better! I look forward to going to class, have met some friends, and I feel empowered and inspired when I walk into the gym. Check out their website to see some of the amazing results women are getting. This place is a goldmine if you’re a woman looking to empower yourself!
Thanks to Crossfit Fly my fitness, eating habits, motivation, socialization and physique have all improved. And on a side note… I can do multiple pulls ups, push ups, and have a mini 4 pack stomach to show for it!

CrossFit Fly changed my life. I will never go back to boring work outs. This is by far the most efficient and effective work out possible. In only a few months I saw significant results. CrossFit FLY brought out motivation and courage I didn’t know I had. I lost 10% body fat and 20 lbs in only a few months. I love my new body! Jill Baker the owner is very knowledgeable, great trainer and nutrition coach. It’s fun fashionable and addictive

Best gift to myself was when I walked into the CrossFit Fly Box (that’s what crossfitters call the gyms). I’ve learned the fabulous benefits of Crossfit but in an environment that feels more like team than a traditional gym. Every WOD (workout of the day) is an opportunity to become better — faster, stronger, more precise!
Before CFFly I tried personal training, every exercise DVD imaginable, Kinect video games and did about two years of bootcamp (with two different groups). Of all my «workout» attempts, I only saw some results from bootcamp, but I can honestly say that even bootcamp wasn’t something I was inspired to maintain long term and it always turned into an on & off situation. I have been a part of the CFF crews since July 2011 and it has become a part of my life that I treasure & look forward to.
There are many Crossfit gym options (I’ve worked out at a few while traveling or as part of a Crossfit community event) but IMO none of them compare to CFF. So if you are a woman ready for a challenge and need a place that will inspire you to keep striving, come by and visit our Box. It may be intimidating at first but a thoroughly empowering experience!

CrossFit Fly is a hardcore, kick-​a$$, all women’s crossfit gym. You have all of the benefits of crossfit’s constantly varied, functional movements at a high intensity, but all chicks! :-) If you’re looking for a challenging approach to fitness & health that you’ll never get bored with and never plateau, and you’re a chick, CFFly is for you. Train like a human not a hamster!
I have been crossfitting at CFF for 4 months now. I am shocked with how my body has transformed in such a short amount of time. I look & feel more lean (dropped 3 pants sizes). Most importantly, I feel more healthy & stronger than any other time in my life.
I recently added Crossfit Endurance training (available seasonally) to my régime & am well on track to completing my first sprint triathlon in 7 years. My bike and run have improved dramatically in less than 2 months of training!
I’m so pleased with my experience at CFF. The owner, Jill Baker, and each of the CFF coaches are stellar.
Oh and they have the BEST logo & apparel at CFF! :-)
