I dropped in to CrossFit CafΓ© for five days and had a great experience.

My first class was their Sunday afternoon endurance session, a perfect introduction to the community. It offered sustained movement over a longer time domain without excessive wear and tear, which was ideal heading into the week.

On Monday and Tuesday, I joined the 6:30 PM class. I recognized several faces from Sunday and had the chance to meet the owner. There was a group of newcomers trying CrossFit for the first time, and the owner stepped in to guide them so the coach could focus on the rest of us. I thought that was a smart and respectful way to balance attention across experience levels.

On Wednesday and Thursday, I attended the 5 AM class, consistent quality and structure across the board.

Across the five classes, I worked with four different coaches. Each was professional and well-prepared: clear whiteboard briefings, explanation of intended stimulus, movement standards, warm-ups, athlete feedback, cooldowns, and excellent time management.

Overall, a well-run gym with a welcoming vibe and strong coaching.

Awesome CrossFit and Olympic lifting gym. Plenty of barbells, plates, cardio machines, and anything else you would need. The 24/7 open gym was perfect while I was staying in Sandbridge for vacation. The coaches were super welcoming and accommodating.

I've been in the 101 class for nearly a month and have really enjoyed the atmosphere in the place. All the coaches are super willing to provide guidance and the place is very friendly.
They're just really great at making you want to work harder each day.
I'll be continuing at Crossfit Cafe for a long time I'm sure.

I joined crossfit cafe in Jan 2025. It has single handedly been the best thing I have done for myself this year. My pulls ups are back and I’ve gotten significantly stronger! Not to mention body composition change as an added bonus. The community is amazing as well, the coaches are so friendly and knowledgable. Everyone has been so kind, welcoming , and encouraging! They also hold you accountable in a great way!

I wasn't a total slob in my 50s. I worked out all my adult life minus time off for healthy pregnancy at age 34 and 43. I never took meds. But I was seeing signs of deterioration in my physical body. It was about 10 years ago, I bought a groupon to Crossfit Cafe, that would change my life. Seriously. I had no idea. Now at age 68, I'm active, fit, free of meds, and so grateful for the team at the Crossfit Cafe who helped me change the trajectory of my life. Forever. Been going to the gym ever since, at least 4-5 days a week. I travel to rugged Andes Mts and hike at high altitude a couple of times a year. I have learned how to modify workouts to my needs and handle occasional soreness. I plan to grow old with my crossfit family. It's now part of my life. The knowledgeable coaches are there to support athletes of all ages with their personal goals and help them to challenge themselves safely. If you come to the 9AM weekday class, look for me, I'll be dangling from the rig with a big smile on my face!

It advertises as 24/7. I dropped in after a long day, just to have my workout cut short halfway through because whoever works the front desk didn't have the awareness to tell me. I would've preferred to save my money and go on a free run on the beach. Not to mention the poorly behaved children running around.

Edit- forgot to mention that their equipment is horribly maintained. Bars are crusted in chalk and rusted. Guys nylon brushes are cheaper than dirt.

I did a week drop-in during vacation and the place was awesome. I loved the old school garage feel of the box. The coaches were awesome and I learned so much from them, but the best part was the community there. I met some cool people, and they were very friendly. I would 100% go here if I was a local and I enjoyed their programming, which is a nice break from what I'm used to.

My workout at Croasfit Cafe is the best hour of my day! The feeling of family is undeniable and the gym is inclusive and so supportive of all athletes wherever they fall in performance level. I am stronger every day and have accomplished physical things I have never done before! It’s been a blast getting healthier and stronger every day! On a more practical side, they have a wide variety of class times as well as an open gym option. They have tons of equipment for everyone and their coaches are so attentive. They provide scaling options for anyone who cannot perform the workout as written, and they also offer additional options for more advanced athletes. They have CHILDCARE which is a huge benefit for families, as well as dogs! So bring your kids, bring your dog (tethered to a kettle bell or behind the doggy gate during the workout) and be your healthiest surrounded by some fantastic people cheering you on!

I traveled to Va. Beach on business and was looking for a place to workout and stay in my routine. I found this place and decided to get a 1 week dop-in pass. Within 10 minutes of walking into the gym I already felt completely at home there. The coaches are great, the members are friendly, and the workouts were excellent. I do not think I could have enjoyed my time here at Crossfit Cafe any more than I did. It was great. If I lived here in Va. Beach this would be my gym without a doubt. If you live here you want to check this place out. If you are from out of town and looking for a spot to drop in for your workouts this is your place. Next time I am in town I will be back here for sure. Thank you everyone at Crossfit Cafe for making me feel like I was at my home gym.

I’ve been going to the CrossFit classes here for around 10 yrs now. Workouts always changing, it never gets boring. I can even bring my puppers. When I didn’t have my own dogs I came just for the puppy cuddles. Tabata loves belly scratches and Toby is a cuddler. Best place around! The owner really cares about your fitness/health. Great coaches and members. Would 100% recommend giving it a try.

I’ve been training at CF Cafe for a few years and I can attest to the high level of training, quality of coaching staff, and gym culture. Jeff’s team challenges you to exceed your best and push your limits. In addition, the gym has 24 access which allows those with busy schedules to get your work out in at any time (no excuses).
Also, the people push one another to finish strong and stay consistent.
Highly recommend this CF Cafe if you’re local or visiting the area.

They have a larger gym, 24 hour access, monthly-no-contract options, and childcare at certain times. The instructors are great, they are good about when you make modifications, and they don't push you to injury. The people here are great, it's a great environment !

While I appreciate the work all of your clients are putting in, I did not appreciate that they think it’s ok to cuss me out in front of my 8 year old. I find your patrons utterly disrespectful and rude.

Awesome box! I was in town for vacation for a week and got in some great workouts. Very welcoming and organized group of folks. I travel quite a bit and appreciate boxes that are well run; this is definitely one of them! They have a well thought-out format and a lot of variety in classes. If I lived in VA Beach this would be my box!

After years of competing I left sports and went to the civilIan world....no longer an athlete after college. Coached for a few years but not the same. Now I am in a grind that drives me,pushes me, and gives me that hunger I had as an athlete. I am once again training everyday to get everything out of my food intake and sleep so I can perform to the best of my ability. Even with people way ahead of me endurance and strength wise, EVERYONE is behind me and motivation is HOOAH/HOORAH/HOOYAH with success,drive,gains, and progression being the ultimate goal. After only 2 weeks of fundamentals class and a week with only 2 days wod( NG Drill) I feel healthier and stronger between adopting a clean way of eating (still adapting) and getting that work.
DO IT!!!

Very large box, has a little bit of everything in it. Stopped in a couple months ago while on vacation to Va Beach and loved it. Just moved up here and got a membership. The WODs are different from what I am used to, however still challenging and leaving you feel drained at the end, which I think is the best thing about crossfit. Jeff, the owner, is a great guy and willing to work with you and your needs. Jeff also knows what he's talking about which is refreshing. Crossfit is intimating at first and has a slight learning curve, but if you give it a month you'll start seeing results! The cafΓ© crew offers a little bit of everything, from regular crossfit WODs, to HIIT, to women's only classes and classes for kids. Highly recommend you give Jeff and Crossfit Cafe a shot!

Also, the name is misleading, there is no food here. So when offered "dessert" be careful with your response!

Great box!! Was in VA Beach for 4 weeks of training, Owner set me up with a great deal for the 4 weeks. Coaches and other members welcomed me as only CrossFit'ers do. Programming was harder than I was use to, but coaches scaled the workouts around my limitations while the workouts challenging and fun. Will definitely drop in again when in VA Beach. Highly recommend! Keep doing what you are doing Jeff!
