I joined Crate Performance almost two years ago and I’m so happy that I made this decision. The Crate members have become my second family which makes me eager to continue and enhance my fitness journey. Everyone is so encouraging and every fitness level is welcome at the gym. Angelo and Gretchen are very knowledgeable and make the workouts fun and challenging which pushes you to achieve fitness levels that you didn’t think you could previously achieve.

The Crate Performance is hands-down one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to.

The workouts are fast-paced, challenging, and always evolving — perfect if you’re looking to push yourself and stay motivated. But what truly sets this place apart is the atmosphere. There’s a real sense of camaraderie and community here. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by both the coaches and other members.

It’s more than just a gym — it’s a place where people show up for each other, push each other, and grow together. If you’re looking for a place that will elevate your fitness and connect you with like-minded people, The Crate is it.

If you’re looking for a gym that combines a welcoming community vibe with serious fitness results, The Crate Performance is the place to be. This family-owned gym stands out from the typical big-chain experience by offering not just equipment and classes, but genuine support and a sense of belonging.

At the heart of it all is Angelo, the owner — and hands down one of the best in the business. His passion for fitness and helping others shows in everything he does, from the way he runs the gym to the personal attention he gives every member. Whether you’re new to working out or training at a high level, Angelo’s knowledge, energy, and encouragement make all the difference.

The gym itself is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. The staff is approachable, skilled, and always ready to help you push toward your goals. You’re not just another number here — you’re part of a community.

What really sets The Crate Performance apart is that atmosphere. It’s motivating, supportive, and real. From personal training to group classes, every session feels intentional and effective.

If you want a gym that’s rooted in passion, personal connection, and real results — and led by one of the best out there — The Crate Performance lives up to its name.

I've been going to The Crate for about 2.5 years and have never considered another gym since joining. The programming is top-notch and challenging and has made me progress way more than I could have ever expected. Gretchen and Angelo are incredibly knowledgeable and always make sure you're getting the most out of each workout. After feeling lonely and unmotivated at my previous gym, it was encouraging to become part of a community (coaches and members) that is supportive, inspiring, and pushes you to be your best.

Best decision I made was joining the Crate Crossfit gym when I moved into the NCR. Couldn't be happier with the owners, coaches, members, and vibe. Love this gym and the amount of progress within such a short amount if time. Join the gym, you won’t regret it.

The crate is more than a gym. It’s a family, it’s a community and it’s home for so many of us.

Gretchen and Angelo have created a community that’s supportive, welcoming and fun. Their coaching is fantastic and the programming is challenging but achievable for anyone. I have had some injuries (non gym related) and both Angelo and Gretchen have worked with me around my limitations to ensure I’m getting a tough workout that’s safe. Many people are intimidated by functional fitness but I’ve seen everyone achieve goals and gains from beginners to seasoned athletes.

Everyone here is welcoming and supportive and I’ve made great friends here. This is hands down the best gym I have belonged to.

I’ll always give 1 star to workouts with burpees but I give Crate 10 stars.

Everyone here supports one another, from cheering you on during a tough workout to celebrating your achievements.

My go to gym whenever I'm in town! First joined this awesome community in 2021 and moved since then, but always make sure I stop by if I'm ever in town. All the coaches are amazing and if you are looking to get stronger fast, this is the place. The cherry on top is the amazing community members. Everyone is encouraging and these workouts really push you to the next level. Also, they provide 1 on 1 nutrition coaching, which I have been doing for 2 years now even if I live abroad.

The Crate is a second home. Hands down the best Functional Fitness coaching you can find in the area. Come check it out. You will make lifelong friends (really family) and you will get in the best shape of your life. Feel great and look great too. If you’re intimidated by box fitness, give this place a chance. You won’t find more friendly people who want to help you learn how to get after it!

I can't say enough good things about this CrossFit gym! The coaches here are some of the most experienced I've ever trained with, and it really shows. They’re constantly providing personalized feedback and encouragement, helping me push past limits I didn’t even know I had.

While the gym space is on the smaller side, the people here make it feel like home. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and genuinely happy to see each other succeed, which has made a huge difference in my training experience. I’ve hit more personal records (PRs) here than at any other gym I've been to, and I know it’s because of the amazing coaches and community. Plus, I’ve made some of the best friends here—they make even the toughest WODs something to look forward to. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to improve their fitness and find an awesome community!

I can't say enough good things about Crate Performance…From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by Gretchen, Angelo, and the community they built. They are incredibly supportive owners/coaches and genuinely care about helping each member reach their fitness goals, no matter their starting point.

Despite the tight quarters, the community here is fantastic; everyone encourages one another, making every workout not just challenging but also enjoyable!

I’ve seen significant improvements in my strength and endurance since joining, and I leave every class knowing that we outworked any other surrounding gym. If you're looking for a motivating environment to kickstart your fitness journey or to take you current fitness to a higher level, Crate Performance is what you’re missing.

Through its loyal loyal following, the Crate Performance has grown from a 2-car garage, to a awesome gym! I’ve been training with Coach Angelo and the crew for about a year now and have seen crazy improvement in performance. I’ve also gained new friends/fam along the way.

The programming at the Crate is next to none! If you’re looking to improve your strength and endurance (oly lifting, CrossFit, etc.), do yourself a favor and drop by. They’re serious about their fitness!
