I paid my drop in fee, called, texted, and DM on instagram asking when was a good time for me to go but never got a response. Haven’t received my refund.

Nice box for a couple drop-ins during. Thanksgiving week. Very friendly coaching staff. Note the gym apparently relocated to a new building behind the one that says “Flying Fortress”…you have to go around the back.

Great Crossfit gym that is clean and well equipped. Instructors are knowledgeable and help with modifications as needed. There are some classes with lots of people and some time slots that almost no one goes to. So there’s something for everyone.

I did a three day drop in and enjoyed the experience. This is a good sized box with a large rig and plenty of bars and weights. There is a large free weight area as well for oly lifting. There are a good number of bikes and rowers as well that are in good shape. Instructors are all CF level 1 certified and helpful. Plenty of locker space. Gym seems to foster a pretty good “community” which is also nice. This is closer to the freeway than the strand so may be a good drop place for those staying closer to 61st street or west side of the island. Will be back!

Good people and cool box to do a drop-in. Cool building and a really cool rig! The salty air has taken a toll on some of their equipment but it happens on the coast, lol. Massive space so they definitely can accommodate a big group. This would be a fun competition location.

I'm 4 months into CrossFit and this gym has been fantastic. The coaches are always supportive and provide feedback for safe lifting. Having a supportive coaching network is awesome and FFCF exceeds the standard. Awesome place to drop in if you're on island for vacation/etc. Kara runs a fantastic program!

I love this gym! What's up 5am class. Thanks for your hospitality this morning. Sam was an awesome coach and Hud, a famous 5am regular, modeled every movement to perfection. It was a great drop in experience!

My favorite box in Galveston. I truly look forward to visiting every time I’m in town for work. The coaches are very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable! It’s my home gym away from home! I would recommend this place to anyone. I’ve traveled to a lot of different gyms around the states and this one sits at the top of the list!!

The gym and facilities are always clean and organized. The staff and members are friendly, welcoming, and inclusive. I really enjoy the highly structured format of the warm-ups and workout, along with the availability of post-workout "bonus" sets.
Even during quarantine, the coaches have been keeping us accountable and involved, making sure we meet our fitness goals until we can get back to the gym itself.

I’ve been coming here for a couple of years, and this place is truly special. The large space and great equipment are outstanding, but it’s the coaches and members that make coming here the best part of the day. If you’re thinking of dropping in somewhere, it doesn’t get better than this!

If you enjoy dropping into gyms, you cannot pass up dropping into this one. The coaching staff was amazing, and the gym is very well done. Go throw down on a workout and get you a t-shirt.

I was a drop in from out of town and I can't say enough good things about this gym. They were all extremely welcoming and offered a great atmosphere and environment. Everyone had a very diverse range of athletic abilities and they worked to make sure everybody was accommodated. Classes were on time and well organized. The facility itself was big with plenty of personal space and equipment to go around, and the location was easy to find. If you ever find yourself in Galveston this is the place to go!

I stopped by Flying Fortress CrossFit for a 6:00 AM “Drop-In” class. This box is the real deal and the coaching was excellent. There were several new folks that were instructed to scale the loading and reps so they would maintain proper form and get the most from the MetCon. The box had an impressive rig and all the gear that a legit box will have. The programming for the day was very challenging and there was plenty of very friendly encouragement from the members. I highly recommend this box for anyone looking for a welcoming box with good people. Nicole has 10 years experience in CrossFit which goes a long way in coaching others. 5 Star review for sure!

Awesome place to workout! I love it here. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, uplifting, and helpful. They pay close attention to form always, and correct you if anything doesn't look right. You can tell right away that they really care about each person that walks in. The facility is beautiful, spacious, and clean. Not only are the coaches fantastic, so is the community. Everyone I have worked out with so far has been great, and although we are all racing the clock during each workout we all encourage and keep each other going. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out.

Flying Fortress is the best gym I've ever been to. The coaches truly care about every member and their progress. I have improved on every movement in the six months that I have attended. The environment is so positive and motivating, you get a happy feeling as soon as you walk in! Last but not least, the facility is so clean and the bathrooms are as nice as you have at home.

Kara, Nicole, and Austin are great! After a 1-2 year hiatus from working out in general, they have made it fun and easy to get back in to the groove! The gym is large with nice equipment and the other crossfitters are awesome! I definitely recommend Flying Fortress!

Flying Fortress Crossfit is a stellar gym. The facility is by far the best/nicest in Galveston. Kara and Nicole have years of experience and training beyond what is required to open a gym and coach. They genuinely care about your performance, safety, and meeting your goals. They put forth the effort to give individual instruction in a group class, and do much more than just yell at everyone to go faster and harder for an hour. If you're thinking about giving it a try, I would definitely recommend it. The members are very friendly and there are plenty of family friendly social activities as well- like movie nights, cookouts, etc.

Came here with minimal experience and the coaches and members have all helped me to grow and reach so many goals and personal records. Every aspect of this box is welcoming, fun, and challenging at the same time. I would encourage anyone to come and give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

This group of trainers at Flying Fortress CrossFit knows what they are doing. From the start, I felt very comfortable with trying CrossFit. They took me in and helped me understand every move and training class that they did. It is a great feeling of accomplishment that you get when you attend a Flying Fortress CrossFit Class. I highly recommend trying this company. You won't be disappointed.
