The best crossfit gym in Chapel Hill if not the Research Triangle Area. Along with classes it's a 24 hour gym. The only downside is that it may be a bit more expensive than most.

Member for 2+ years and only left due to graduating school in the area. Training in the environment at open gym was highly beneficial to my improvement. I went from an average competitor to national champion, 6x national medalist, and 2x state record holder in Olympic weightlifting. I couldn't have done any of it without the facility, equipment, and community here

I've spent 5 weeks at CrossFit Local while in Chapel Hill for a clinical rotation. The community welcomed me right in, especially the early morning crew I worked out with regularly. They have flexible membership options and offer 24/7 open gym. It's a nice space with lots of equipment, solid programming, and good people, making for a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

The owner was great about assessing my needs (I only needed a few months, 1-2 times per week) and making sure I wasn't paying for more than I needed.

The gym had a great mix of experience levels and ages, and yet everyone was still very welcoming. I met so many people who had been going for 5+ years. The workouts are typical Crossfit WODs (prepare to be sore), and the group size per class was nicely sized (5-10 people in the afternoon classes). Would recommend this place to anyone interested.

I dropped in here a few weeks ago, just needed a place with some open gym time so I could get a full training session in. The gym has two fully equipped sections, so open gym space is fully available all throughout the day even as classes are going on. The owner was very accommodating and let me stay as long as I needed to finish all my training for the day. The equipment was very well-kept, and I can't think of anything I would have needed that they did not have. Great place, would absolutely recommend to drop in if you are in the area!

# CrossFit Local Review

We dropped in at CrossFit Local a couple months ago while passing through town, and had an excellent experience. Chad was our coach for the session and did a fantastic job leading the class.

The class structure was well-organized and ran smoothly from warm-up through the main workout. Chad and the rest of the staff demonstrated strong knowledge of CrossFit fundamentals and provided helpful coaching cues throughout the session.

What really stood out was how welcoming everyone was to us as drop-ins. Both the staff and regular members made us feel right at home, which isn’t always the case when you’re new to a box. The friendly, inclusive atmosphere really made the experience memorable.

Would highly recommend CrossFit Local to anyone in the area or fellow travelers looking for a quality workout. Great coaching, knowledgeable staff, and a genuinely welcoming community.

This is the one and only gym I’ve stuck with in my life. Great gym and a great community of members! There is a focus on overall well-being not just lifting weights and at the same time they are comfortable helping you find your physical limit. Very friendly and skilled instructors are actively involved in preventing injuries and they are great at giving scaling options to make the workouts fun at all skill levels.

Came here to rave about the nutrition services with this gym. They use a nurse practitioner (the owner), Kelly, to manage their nutrition program. She was incredibly knowledge and creative in her recommendations. She makes sure you have enough food/fuel in order to accompany your work outs. A fantastic resource and just proves that this gym cares about all aspects of your fitness and health goals!

Traveled from Philadelphia and was searching for a place to get a good workout in and Crossfit local was very accommodating, even though we may have filled up there class and got there a little late.

Communication to get details about drop in was easy and quick. the coaches and the athletes were very nice and both pushed us to keep grinding.

For $30 you get a tee shirt and are able to get into a class. Strongly recommended!

This place is one of my favorite gyms I’ve ever been to. Chad, along with the other trainers, has been incredibly kind and generous, always keeping me informed about their free trial periods and bring-a-friend weeks, which happen frequently! The classes strike the perfect balance between fun and challenging, providing exactly what I need for my fitness journey. The community is warm and welcoming; I've met several trainers and long-term members who made me feel right at home.

The gym's equipment is top-notch, and the place has a ton of room, so it's never crowded. I appreciate the option to take the equipment outside too, especially if I’m going long cardio workouts. Personally, I take advantage of the free access to the UNC gym since I am still a student and have a low salary, but I genuinely think this place offers a great value if you have the means, and I look forward to becoming a member after graduation (or as soon as I get a real job).

This is an excellent gym. CrossFit Local offers a level of flexibility which can be very difficult to find. As a new member who travels here infrequently, the ability to design your own program and membership is invaluable. Chad provides all of the options you could want. The 24/7 access, group classes, skill building classes, strong community, or open gym solo sessions make this the best option I’ve found. I’ve tried out gyms across the country and few (if any) are as catering. I’m grateful to have found CrossFit Local for when I’m back home!

Great gym! I was new to the area and checked out a few gyms in both Durham and Chapel Hill and this was my favorite. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable and you can tell they are committed to helping you accomplish your fitness goals. I enjoyed both the classes and the open gym amenities. They have several membership options to suit a variety of needs and the prices are fair for the area. They have childcare options, too, which is unique in my experience to CrossFit gyms. Definitely check them out!

This gym and the coaches have been a saving grace for our family. We began our journey mid-pandemic with a summer session, specifically geared toward teens learning to lift safely. My boys were so happy to find a class just for them. It gave them something to look forward to and a way to relieve some of the stress of life during a very strange time. Coach Chad is kind and supportive and encouraging, all while totally kicking their butts. We were so happy when they decided to make these classes year round. My oldest has continued teen strength and also picked up some regular classes. He’s had a chance to work with multiple coaches and enjoys every one. He’s gained confidence in himself and his body, not to mention physical strength. He says he’s finally found his β€œthing”. Thanks CrossFit family for including our family in yours.

Absolutely the best gym I have ever been a part of. I have been going here for more than 6 months now and cannot be happier with the energy in the place as well as the results I am getting. Our trainer Sean is just fantastic, even other trainers who step in sometimes have been great. Highly recommend this gym to anyone considering.
They make CrossFit very accessible; it is not the crazy thing I had in my head and is a lot more manageable and something you can slowly build up to with their Ignition program.

I have been a member for over a year and have really enjoyed CrossFit Local. Everyone at the gym - owners, coaches, and members - are super nice. I was new to Chapel Hill when I joined, and I've made several friends at CrossFit Local.

I've been a member at CrossFit gyms in California and Philadelphia before moving to Chapel Hill, and CrossFit Local is the best facility I've worked out in. It's very spacious, contains a lot of equipment, and provides a nice outdoor area to train. Best of all, they offer memberships that include 24/7 open gym!

Fifty years ago I was a collegiate wrestler at Furman University. Now, at 68 years of age, I am in my best condition since those happy days, thanks a great deal to the great fitness community at CrossFit Local in Chapel Hill. My resting heart rate is 51 BPM after years (decades!) in the sixties. I can bench 255 pounds, clean and jerk 160, and I can do unbroken sets of 64 pushups. After nine months of working out at CrossFit Local, I placed in the top one third of eleven hundred elderly… um… β€œmasters” athletes worldwide in the Open competition for my age group.

Owners Chad and Kelly Edwards have built a wonderful fitness-oriented community. During special events such as a skills class or the recent CrossFit Open, they provide childcare in the β€œclub house” just outside the gym. Every so often, Kelly sets up and facilitates weight-loss programs, complete with prizes for accomplishments. Chad is always willing to provide one-on-one coaching. You’ll find healthy recipes on their Facebook site, protein and pre-workout supplements in the lobby, and there is always a β€œLocal Hero” working out when you enter the gym… always inspiring!

Differentiating the place even more is the cadre of well educated and certified coaches, always eager to help. All have patiently entertained my questions and provided super insight.
I’ve received tips from Coach Paul on power lifting and from Coach Kevin on my techniques and balance. I’ve discussed the cardiovascular system with fabulous distance runner Coach Josh (Hyden). I’ve learned the basics of handstand pushups and wall walks from Coach Grace. I try not to wonder if I remind Grace of her grandfather… I don’t mind being dad-age to the rest of them!

And oh my, the β€œLocal Heroes!” From my perch on a rowing machine, I’ve watched Coach Michael do sets of very impressive β€œmuscle-ups”. If you don’t know what those are, Google it and be amazed! Yes, young Grace can do them too! I’ve also observed Coach Marc load up a barbell with multiple heavy plates to conquer with his dead lifts. And I have followed on Facebook Coach Kristin’s successes in β€œstrong woman” competitions she competes in around the state.

The only coach I don’t know is Josh Fox, but I drew him as a judge for one of my Open workouts and he was kind and forgiving of my poor form, not giving me any of the dreaded β€œNo-reps”. I am sure many of the other old guys were also getting away with what they could, so I don’t feel too bad about it.

And speaking of Local Heroes, Justin Huckaby… β€œCoach Huck” …. is there almost every evening, working out in preparation for the CrossFit competitions and teaching the rest of us anything we ask about. I just checked Justin’s performance in the 2022 CF open and he is in the top 4-5% of CrossFit athletes worldwide. One thing I’ve observed about Justin is that each day he comes in with a plan, scrawls it on a little white board, and proceeds methodically through the exercises and lifts he’s determined to complete for the day. Several times I’ve seen him accomplish PR’s as he progresses. Not to mention the awe of watching him scamper up the climbing rope!

Finally, there is Coach Spenser Smith. Like many of the coaches and athletes at CrossFit Local here in academically oriented Chapel Hill, Spenser is highly educated… in his case, Spenser is a Doctor of Pharmacy. I’ve leveraged his knowledge several times in addition to taking in inspiration by watching his workouts. As an example, Spenser taught me about the β€œthree energy pathways” employed by us humans to keep ourselves going. The concept is the key to why the β€œmetabolic conditioning” techniques emphasized by all CrossFit gyms produce the best conditioned athletes on the planet.

CrossFit Local has been a life changer! I definitely did not know what I was getting myself into when I started, but all the coaches (special shoutout to both Coach Hyden and Fox) and even the other members, were beyond supportive and helpful. From being a complete beginner, the coaches started slow to help me not only get the correct form, but to become the most successful I can.
The WODS are always new and exciting and the camaraderie is unmatched. Definitely a place I would recommend to others!

I cannot say enough positive things about this gym. The owner, Chad, was extremely responsive and helpful in getting my relatively atypical situation sorted out (I was looking for a gym away from my normal residence). The space was clean, extremely well equipped, spacious, and I loved the outdoor racks. Also, the 24-hour access was a huge plus. I got in, hit my lifts, met some really nice people, and felt right at home immediately. Would give 10 stars if it would let me!

I never thought I would be one to join CrossFit. I didn’t want to be a muscled out, steroid-looking chic. But that is not what CrossFit is about at all. It’s about you facing your own insecurities and challenging yourself. I am now more confident because I am more fit - without the bulk. I can bench press and box jump and do things I never thought I would do. I have so far to go, but I want to thank CrossFit Local for helping me get to where I am. I would very strongly recommend CrossFit Local. The way they have handled the pandemic is stellar, and I feel safe knowing that they have done their best to follow social distancing and sterilization of equipment. I feel accepted and part of the family. If you are considering, just do it. Chad & Kelly will take care of you. I promise.

I joined here on a whim last year, and it was a wonderful decision. Everyone was friendly and helpful, even when I had no idea how to use the equipment. After a few months here, I discovered that I really liked powerlifting, which was huge for me since I've NEVER been athletic and have always struggled to find workout programs that I enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this place if you've been curious about trying crossfit or are looking for a new home gym!

A friend of mine always talked this place up so I decided to give it a try. Im normally more powerlifting focused, and originally signed up for the open gym but figured I’d try some classes. Chad and his crew did an incredible job focusing on both the strength aspect and metabolic aspect. The people are welcoming and encouraging. If you put the work in and just dedicate a few classes a week, you will progress in your fitness goals wether it’s to get stronger or lose weight.

CF Local was a breath of fresh air for me. I moved to a new state knowing no one - I had done CF previously in my other state and I was looking for somewhere with a similar community feel. Local had members on all different journeys and I really enjoyed the way the class was broken down. It's a very positive place - and though I was only there for a few classes, the other members of the class made me feel welcome! Would have loved to further grow and work on my goals here.

If you're thinking about trying crossfit give this place a try, I don't think you'll regret it!

My experience here has been amazing!!! I have recently moved here from another state and leaving an amazing box there too, I wasn’t sure if I would find another place that would even remotely compare to it. I did my research months in advance and found Crossfit Local, I read the reviews and checked out their website. I got in contact with Chad the owner months before to talk about the gym and if they had childcare ( which they do and is a must for me). He stayed in contact with me all the way up u til we moved here and a week after getting settled in I came to the gym did my starter class and then my trial. It reminded me a lot of my other box and the sense of community was what I was used to. Everyone was very welcoming and so kind. I have definitely found my place!!! They hold a lot of fun events and carry some great merchandise . I highly recommend joining Crossfit Local!!! The owners are great people and all of the coaches are amazing as well!!

* The facility feels tuned, and supports everything from 'just walked in the door' to 'decades of experience'
* I came in new to most of the movements. I've never been to a class that wasn't focused on fundamentals of movement and improving skills

I was referred to Crossfit local by a friend who thought I would enjoy the rigor of the programmed workouts. Which was very true, but not only did I enjoy how the WODs pushed me, but I learned skills that helped me push myself when I was working out away from the gym. Crossfit local helped me developed grit and tenacity, while also working around my busy student/waitress schedule. Outside of the workouts, I really found strong community in this gym and developed friends and mentors alike. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone interested!

I started at Crossfit Local through their Ignition program about a year and a half ago. Prior to joining Crossfit Local, I only worked out because I knew it was good for me, but I never found it stimulating or enjoyable. Now, crossfit classes are highlights of my days. The coaches are very supportive. I've even had several occasions when coaches stick around after class too to give me advice on how to make improvements or give me feedback on something I was working on. Prior to joining Crossfit Local, I had literally never touched a barbell. Now, a year and a half later, I certainly still have a lot of room to grow, but I've made so much progress and feel confident that I can improve even more with the support of the Local community!

A great Crossfit gym. I have been doing Crossfit for almost 8 years, but just moved to NC from RI this last Aug ('17) and looking for Crossfit gyms was one of the first things we did. We quickly landed on Crossfit Local and 9 months later, we couldn't be happier with the choice! The coaches are excellent, they are incredibly nice, knowledgable and helpful, I feel like I am learning things from them in Crossfit, 8 years later. And I am extremely happy with the programming. Again, after 8 years and I am still making gains on some of my major lifts. All in all, I highly recommend Crossfit Local - I don't think you will be disappointed.

If you are looking for a supportive environment that challenges you every time you walk through the door this is the place. Workouts can be scaled based on your fitness level or just how you are feeling after a tough day at work. Gym owners are constantly looking for ways to improve their member's experience, whether it be new equipment, fun competitions or social outings. Get fit, have fun and meet some really cool people.

I started CrossFit in November of 2016 because I was tired of all the weight I gained from my pregnancies. I hated the way I looked, always compared myself to my friends and was always self-conscious about my body. I tried working out at home, weight watchers, running, and working out at the local gym but I could not get motivated enough. I knew I need someone pushing me and telling me what to do. My friend, who is also a Coach introduced me to CrossFit Local and told me to try the Ignition class. It was the best decision I have ever made. I have never felt better about myself and how strong I am both mentally and physically. With such the amazing support from other people who have the same issues as me and the awesome coaching staff, they made me feel welcome and ready to start my journey. CrossFit Local is so warming and I cannot imagine ever joining another gym. Since November, I’ve lost 22.4 lbs., 2.7” of my waist, and 1.6 body fat.

I encouraged my wife to sign up for crossfit about 15 months ago because she was tired of the monotony of her exercise routine she had been using for the past 20 years and was not getting the results she wanted. I didn’t think I could do crossfit because I had low back problems and though it would be best to avoid heavy weights. After a couple months she β€œgave” me a membership for Christmas. I was nervous every week for the first month or so for the pain that I knew was coming. It was a good pain. The coaches were very helpful in helping me with my form and planning how to scale the workout to benefit me the most. Fast forward 1 year: My back issues are basically gone, I’m lifting heavy again, and I preach the crossfit gospel whenever someone I know seems interested. I love that there’s always a goal to go after and coaches to help. Crossfit Local is awesome!!

CF Local in Chapel Hill is the absolute greatest. They take the time to get to know you, learn about your fitness goals, and work with you to achieve results. The classes that CF Local offers have something for people of all skill levels. Plus, the folks who teach them and those that attend are all very friendly. There's a "we're all in this together" attitude that really helps when you're trying to push through that last exhausting set on the WOD (Workout Of the Day). If you join CFL - which I highly recommend - prepare to feel sore but accomplished, and to leave with some new friends. These guys rule.

I love this box! I'm a newbie- just started Labor Day 2014, starting slow with a twice-weekly boot-camp... but after a month and a half of getting stronger (I couldn't even do a push-up or a burpee when I came in) I was hooked! I now go twice a week and every time I get that perfectly exhausted, yet exhilarated feeling from getting stronger. I absolutely love the support that you get- no matter what shape or age or stage your are in- you will feel the love (even when you sweat your mascara off and have raccoon eyes- no one will even blink an eye at it and only continue to motivate you further, as I have found out) SO- give it a try- they love new people coming in to try it- and no pressure atmosphere- they understand that some will stay and for some it's too much... and who knows- may YOU will be writing a review in a few months too! ;)

Chad and Kelly have done A LOT to transform the gym from just a warehouse with bare, boring white drywall to something feels far more inviting. They recently put down hardwood flooring in the lobby which gave a very warm and inviting feel to the gym. They also provide great child care for those who need it. All of the babysitters are great with kids! You will find that all coaches are very personable and approachable. If it weren't for me moving away I wouldn't leave.

Chad and Kelly have created a truly unique community at Local that is supportive, motivating, and all around awesome. I have achieved and surpassed so many of my fitness goals and made countless friends along the way. The coaches push and encourage every athlete in the gym to be better than they were the day before and the fellow athletes are incredibly inspiring. I have absolutely loved by experience at Local I would recommend anyone and everyone to come experience it for yourself!

My 12 1/2 year old daughter has thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the CrossFit Local staff. Kelly, Emily and Chad have been great instructors for her. They are sensitive to what she should and should not do at this age, and provide her with an appropriate level of fitness and strength-building exercises. And I love that they encourage her to push herself. After her workout the other day she came out of the gym and had a huge smile on her face. She completed an exercise that she thought she could never have done. She was standing taller and had a air of confidence that was so great to see.

I've worked out a CrossFit Local for about a year, and recommend it to anyone who will listen. The workouts are challenging, the instructors are very knowledgeable, and the community is very supportive.

I just passed my one year anniversary working out at CrossFit Local and it has been great. They were very welcoming when I was a newbie, just learning the lift mechanics and techniques. The coaches were always there to over tips and suggestions as well as make sure I was proceeding safely with adding weight or moving faster. Once I got a handle on the basics, I started to take advantage of the seminars that they offer to focus on certain movements. The class schedule is convenient for my working hours and I enjoy the results.

Words can't describe how much I have enjoyed CrossFit Local over the past 6 months. Before starting CrossFit Local, I was very nervous and uncertain whether I was ready for the "CrossFit experience". On my first day, I felt welcomed by every coach and member. I remember my first "WOD," or workout out of the day, was unusually hard compared to the normal "WOD". It was called the "12 Days of Christmas". I think I finished 15 minutes after everyone was done, but yet no one left; everybody stayed to cheer me on. I will never forget that day! Every coach at CrossFit cares about about your safety and makes sure you are doing each movement correctly. The coaches also care about you reaching your goals. The owners, Kelly and Chad, make CrossFit Local way more personalized than any gym I have ever been to. I love the events they put together to make us feel like a family. I would recommend CrossFit Local to anyone of all skill levels. No matter where you are fitness-wise, you will see amazing results.
