I trained here as a newbie for 8 months while on a temporary work assignment in the area, and boy am I ever so glad I did! Coach Joe makes it a point to spend the first half of class warming up and paying very close attention to technique and form. If you think this is the norm at other boxes, think again. After moving on to other locations (due to new work) I was surprised at the abundance of terribly bad advice out there, everything from using hook grip on your deadlift to deliberately incomplete squats where you never actually get to use your glutes. I've noticed that I can lift the same amount of weight as other guys who are taller, bigger, and have been doing Crossfit for years more than I have, not because I'm special, only because I've been sticking religiously to what Coach Joe taught me during my time at 223. in fact, I've been complemented on my technique by plenty of people, and I find people grabbing a camera and filming me, even though I've always considered myself far from having perfected some of my compound moves.
One more thing I would like to add is that open gym hours are a luxury that aren't necessarily offered at other locations, so if you want to work on your 42km marathon row in preparation for the games, you would totally have the freedom to do it at 223 (as long as the rower is not being used in class), but this is not necessarily an option at the fancier locations where they're milling people through and you absolutely must get out even though you aren't in the way.
Honestly, the only way you could join this box and not get better is if you give up on yourself. Treat yourself as the athlete that you are and realise that showing up is the easiest part of the class, and let the magic happen!

I've been training here for almost 8 months now and I just love it!
I started Crossfit without knowing anything about it, at the time I just wanted to try something different than the boring normal gym and the environment of group classes encouraged me to try.
I took the 6 introductory classes and so I started, it was cool but very challenging at first, since I had zero knowledge about even the names of the equipments that are used, but the people and the coaches made it all easier and pleasant to learn.
Joe, Dustin and Mike are seriously committed to the quality of programming and really care about the safety and good performance of the people training.
Couldn't have picked a better box!

CrossFit223 is an awesome box with the best coaches and the friendliest members. Everyone here is so supportive, nice and welcoming. Coaches Joe A. and Mike P. are really patient. They makes sure all exercise movements are performed correctly and safely. My crossfit journey began about 3 months ago, and it has been amazing and positive. I am so proud of myself and the progress I made. Looking forward to the future with CrossFit223.

No matter what your fitness goal, it will be reached at crossfit 223. The head honcho Joe does a great job at making sure you are performing every exercise and working out correctly and efficiently. There are some tremendous athletes at crossfit 223 but there is no "gymtimidation" here. I finished the free trial week and have completed only 3 workouts and I can already see a difference in my appearance and athleticism. I was a 2 sport college athlete and still in good shape so results might not come that easy to everyone. That being said these workouts are harder than any workout I have completed as a college athlete in the best way possible. Every workout can be scaled to your limitations if needed.
The main reason why crossfit is better than training on your own is due to the well known fact that the majority of people will not push theirselves nearly as hard as a coach will do at crossfit. So far at crossfit 223, I have experience with 3 coaches who are all fantastic in their own way. If you have not seen the results you wished for by training on your own, go get a personal trainer for a minimum of $50 a session or give crossfit 223 a shot where you will have a coach pushing you, keeping you safe, and making sure your training efficiently.
You have nothing to lose by giving the week free trial a shot, besides some body fat and sweat.

Having been at several Crossfit gyms I can honestly say the coaching is one of the most safe concious there is.
The warmup all the way to the cool down is all related to the workout of the day and insures you will stay injury free.
You see progress week to week in your overall fitness goals as well as seeing your Olympic Lifting skills improve each week.
The members are also very supportive of each other makes going to the gym something to look forward to.

The Angelo Brothers , Joe and Anthony embody the true spirit of Entrepreneurs. Not only passionate about their business and customers they exemplify what is missing in many of today's businesses, true customer service. Opening in the spring of 2014 ,they've grown their business from a small group of dedicated followers to a multi faceted fitness center. While the fitness enthusiast today is faced with many choices, this is one place where your expectations not only are met but exceeded.

Crossfit 223 exemplifies the true values of Crossfit. Coach Joe A. always has a laser focus on mobility and technique. This helps athletes at all levels excel quicker, train harder and above all stay healthy. As someone who had 0 weightlifting background I found it very easy to learn all the movements and 6 months in I am keeping pace with some of the more experienced athletes at this box. All of the member at 223 are very friendly and we always have a blast working out together!
