I attended a Pain Free Pickleball Clinic run by Cyril. It was an exceptionally valuable use of time and money. I love his realistic, informed, longevity focused approach to fitness. His years of experience and passion really come through in his teaching. My wellness routine and pickleball game immediately benefitted from the clinic and I can tell it will pay off in spades over time. Highly recommend!

Coach Cyril at Be Bold Excel Fitness was a life saver when I got plantar fasciitis and had difficulty working out. Not only did he show me on what I COULD still do, which elevated both my spirit and physical health, but he showed me how to work out and stretch the proper way. My condition did improve, and I credit him for setting me up for recovery and success!

Cyril White is a trainer with incredible knowledge. I learned a lot today in my first session, despite thinking I knew a lot going in.
He knows his material and is a nice guy to boot!!

Thanks, Cyril and I look forward to working more from you!

I was having a hard time getting motivated after being out of the gym for 3 years. Postpartum 6 months and I wasn't being consistent with my workouts but I wanted to be. Working with Cyril one-on-one gives me the support and accountability I need to show up for myself. Cyril makes it easy. I show up at the gym at a time that works for me and he has a workout designed specifically for me and ready to go. In less than two months I am quickly seeing my body change and my energy improve.

Great individual and group physical and nutritional coaching. Coach Cyril is the best - genuine and passionate not only about fitness but about how he can help you become your personal best, physically, nutritionally and emotionally...he knows it is all connected. Great group Zoom coaching with supportive like-minded people, offered 4 mornings a week, help me stay motivated.
Coaching is individualized and attune to your body dynamics when lifting as well as focused on mindfulness and mobility to keep you moving no matter what your age or condition ... I'm a 62 year old female, work more than a full-time job in the caregiving sector and still like to do other physical and social activities. Coach Cyril and Be Bold Excel Fitness keep me going.

Cyril was the first CrossFit coach I had and to this day is the most encouraging and knowledgeable coach I’ve had. He’s got a passion for coaching and fitness that inspires his athletes. Great person. Great coach.

Great workouts. Great Coaching. I joined because the other people working out looked like me, real people. I stay because I learned that the ones that are in great shape used to look like me.

The best new habit I have made in decades!

BTW lost 10 lb. in two months increased mobility. Increased Energy.

Just hanging out with great people has additional benefits. I've heard about great podcasts and great books here.

Coach Cyril makes fitness and mindfulness contagious.

This place is absolutely amazing. Life changing actually. Within my first 6 month being a member here I lost 35 pounds and gained a whole lot of confidence. The coaches (and fellow members) help push you to become a better version of yourself everyday!

When I first joined, I was so intimidated by the fact that I would be working out with people who have been at this type of fitness for their whole life, but it was nothing like I was expecting. There are so many variations to every work out. No one cares if you can’t do a pull up, or a push up. Everyone is there for the same reason and it’s to improve themselves!

The coaches are beyond helpful and motivating. I can honestly say every coach is my favorite. They are so patient and helpful with everything. Whether it comes to a move, a pain or nutrition, they can help.

Strong Together Fitness is a new home to me and the members and coaches are like family. I’m beyond thankful for everything STF has brought out of me that I didn’t know was there.

I am new to Cross fit and I was a little concerned about giving it a go, since it carries such a connotation, but everyone was super nice and easy going. If you are thinking about it, you should stop in and give it a try.

I just started an official membership this year, and have loved every second of it!

The coaches are very supportive and do a great job of teaching all of the movements before we start the work out. Out of any CrossFit or group exercise type workout that I have attended (which is a lot), I have never been to a gym that is more safe and better about form/ proper performance.

Also, the team is so encouraging and inclusive.
I look forward to going to the gym now.

I joined Chelsea Strong Together about 6 months ago, and here is my honest review: As a woman over 50 I was needing something more then the Wellness Center and I found it at Strong Together Fitness. This gym is a very friendly, comfortable & non-intimidating place. The members are so supportive of each other, that is the first thing I noticed that makes this place so different & special. But what makes this gym well worth every penny is the amazing coaches. Each workout is like a session with a personal trainer, always a challenge & never boring. Coaches Cyril, Larry, Ken & Kristen are so encouraging & truly want you to succeed. My results so far are proof - I am stronger & leaner & my total cholesterol is down 41 points since starting at Strong Together! πŸ’ͺ

I came here for my first ever CrossFit class while I was visiting my cousin here in Michigan and it was a great experience! Cyril was great at breaking down the mechanics for the snatch, something I had never done before, and I was able to feel pretty comfortable with it by the time class was over. Thanks Cyril!

As a personal trainer I'd like to express my heart felt thoughts to a negative review given to CSC. Not to defend myself, for I know what was said and what was not said. I am writing this for the amazing place I call my second home, my second family.

Three years ago I joined Country Spirit Crossfit. As a personal trainer I am a bit picky on where I work out. Out of all the Boxes/Gyms in the area I hands down picked CSC. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, upbeat and most of all I felt as if I made close friendships within a few visits. I love the place so much that I asked Cyril the gym owner if I could personal train for his members.

A quick definition of a personal trainer’s job; is an individual certified to have a varying degree of knowledge of general fitness involved in exercise prescription and instruction. They motivate clients by setting goals and providing feedback and accountability to clients. The key to this definition that is not stated is the accountability of the client to their own health. A personal training educates clients to obtain their goals. The client has to do the work to obtain their goals. The old saying of, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make the horse drink.

Reading the negative review was a surprise due to the fact that at no point in my time training this member in a group setting did they talk to me in-person about their concerns, email me their concerns, text messaged me their concerns. This member left our box approximately a year ago.

If I knew a client had a concern I would talk to them in person so that all concerns, misunderstandings are cleared up. Give options for personal one-on-one training if a group setting is uncomfortable. Advise a different trainer than myself if my training techniques are not right for them.

We have a wide range of incredible coaches with an even mix between our male and female coaches that have diverse backgrounds. We have seven coaches with expertise in areas of Olympic Lifting coaches, Mobility coaches, Strength & Conditioning coaches, Gymnastic movement coaches.

Give us a visit to see what we can do for you.

I never thought I would see myself doing crossfit.... mainly because I was intimidated by my weakness. I was inspired to join this amazing group 3 months ago by one of the coaches (Shelby). Not only is she amazing at what she does but she is an inspiration. All the coaches have their own way of critquing certain workouts which have made me better and stronger at crossfit. I learn from them everyday and I value their hard work. Everyone is so welcoming. Since day 1 I felt like I had been a part of this team for years!
I highly recommend

I have been working out at country spirit for about 5 months now and i've almost lost 15 pounds and i only go about 3 times per week. I look forward to going whenever i can and all the coaches are positive and genuinely care about you. If you're thinking about getting healthy and shedding off some weight, definitely try it out!!

I look forward to coming to Country Spirit Crossfit every week. I started as a beginner and am still slowly learning but the upbeat environment and the amazing coaches make it very enjoyable. The new location is spacious, accessible and right in town. I leave every work out feeling better about myself!

If you're ready to quit making excuses about getting back into shape or improving your fitness, Strong Together Fitness (STF) is where you will achieve it. Don't put it off another day! A little less than an hour a day a few times a week does a body good and is habit forming. This CrossFit gym is very clean and very well run. Great atmosphere! Cyril and his STF staff are friendly and they push you safely and hold you accountable to YOURSELF. Everyone at STF is respectful of one another because of the atmosphere that Cyril and his staff create. We're all in it together whether you're a new member or a veteran. Shed your ego at the door and just show up and do it! You'll be glad you did! If you've never tried CrossFit type workouts, you'll have more energy, and become stronger and more flexible than ever before.

I'm so glad I decided to join Strong Together CrossFit 1 year ago. Every coach they have are excellent - Cyril (owner), Shannon, Shelby, Larry, and Ken. They are encouraging and they motivate you to try harder.

I love the other members and atmosphere of positive attitudes, healthy eating and about half of the time the girls are with me (ages 4, 7 & 10) and they play in the kid area. The dog is a nice addition.

The workouts are always different which keeps me engaged and coming back. Keep up the good work.

I started my CrossFit journey here 2 years ago and absolutely loved this facility. I had to stop doing CrossFit after about a year and a half due to life things but recently came back and the coaches and members welcomed me back so warmly. ALL of the coaches are great and I especially love Shelby, Cyril and Shannon. All are amazing, motivating, and give constructive criticism while helping you achieve your fullest potential. If you want to make those healthy life changes with the support from amazing coaches and members, this is the place to do it.

While I enjoyed my time at this gym with Cyril (the owner) coaching, I was not impressed with the Foundations coach, Shannon. She would belittle you and call you out in front of the whole group. While I understand constructive criticism, telling new members not to watch what you did because you were "terrible" was not only embarrassing, but very unprofessional. I have since moved to a facility that embraces every individual by developing a program that helps them accomplish their goals and by providing coaches that are truly there for the RIGHT reasons.

Thank you Cyril for bringing CrossFit to our hometown. This is a great family owned business that promotes health and wellness in our community. A welcoming environment for the novice to experienced athlete. No judgements, no intimidation, just hard work and fun with a great group of people.

Country Spirit is a special place. I am so glad I started my Crossfit journey here. Head Coach Cyril White is very genuine. He treats each of his athletes with respect. He is encouraging and motivating without being pushy. He approaches each athlete as an individual and helps us all work on our personal fitness goals.

The box is not at all intimidating. Everyone is friendly and supportive. The other coaches--Regan, Ken, and Shelby have their own unique coaching styles but share the same philosophy of inspiring success.

I started Crossfit in September of 2014, and I am a total devotee! The workouts are very challenging, and it feels like such an accomplishment to complete one! This has become a lifestyle for me. I can honestly say that it is an ongoing transformation of my body, strength, and sense of well-being.

You get to try the "box" FREE for two weeks. Do your future self a favor and call coach Cyril ASAP.

Come as you are--all of the Country Spirit CrossFit coaches are highly skilled and dedicated to helping athletes achieve goals and pursue excellence no matter what level the person is starting at.

I was by *no means* an "athlete" when I started--Canoli was my middle name--but now I can see there are actually muscles and stuff under my spare tire & extra fluffy bits.

Great group, awesome program, and convenient class schedule--I recommend this to people over 14 who are ready to change for the positive.
