Scam. They will not answer the phone number listed. Website unclear, especially that they are not connected to the apps website seemingly they are the same company? Make it difficult to cancel membership, and do not provide you with all the information upfront.

Went to Chalk Performance CrossFit with my buddy Whitten and had a really solid workout. The whole vibe of the place was super good from the second we walked in. The community there was super sweet and kind, especially for it being my first visit. A bunch of people introduced themselves right away and made it feel way less intimidating. Our trainer Caitlin was awesome too. She was extremely sweet but made sure to push us the entire time, adding weight and keeping us moving at a good pace. It was that perfect balance of being supportive but not letting you coast through the workout. Also gotta shout out Jess, she was super sweet and made me feel even more welcomed. You can tell they have a real community there and it is not just about the workout, it is about the people too. Definitely a spot I would recommend if you are looking for a place that challenges you but also makes you feel like you are part of the crew from day one.

Not the kind of personal training facility I would want to go to if they are judging people for using a treadmill instead of walking outside.
If Ryan is a personal trainer, he should know better to not judge people for where they are at in their fitness journey. Some people have mobility problems and may need to use a treadmill for stability and support. Many people go to physio clinics and use the gravity treadmill which assists with walking. I have stage 4 osteoarthritis and find walking outside makes my knees angry. A treadmill allows me to get 1-2 miles in without aggravating my knees.
Many cities have poor sidewalk infrastructure that makes it difficult for people to enjoy walking outside. Poor sidewalk infrastructure means uneven sidewalks, sidewalks in need of repair, poorly lit public space, or safety reasons as women are harassed by men when running outside.
Hopefully Ryan will issue an apology and use this as a learning moment. Don't just be good. Be better. Be supportive of everyone's journey, what equipment they use and wherever they workout.

Joining Chalk Performance Training Gym has been a life changing experience for me! I never had any experience with lifting or going to a gym prior to joining Chalk, but something I wanted to try. I finally decided to go for it and joined Chalk November 2022.
My first workout was a very humbling experience. Definitely thought I could run, do push-ups, jump on a box, and lift some weights, but put them all together was quite a challenge for me! I kept going and with the support of the exceptional coaches, I have improved and came a long way.
Coach Brett is your classic welcoming East Coast man. He will walk though all the movements prior to the workout and will correct/ modify if needed. Which I really appreciated as a newbie. There is nothing better than a post-workout fist bump from him after tough workout.
Coach David is one of the most muscular fit people I have met in my life. Behind the muscles, David is an encouraging, motivating, and funny guy. There is nothing worst when he makes you laugh during a workout while you are out breath. He definitely see the best in everyone and will push you, even if you donβt think you can.
Through going to Chalk, I have definitely become stronger and more fit. I am confident in myself, see my untapped potential, and not afraid to try something new. I cannot thank everyone enough for such a positive experience. Even though the workouts are still challenging, at least I am not extremely sore anymore when making an U turn driving⦠hahah!
As long as I live in Orange County, I will continue going to Chalk regularly. There is no better environment and community to train and succeed in. Everyone that I have met through the workout classes, fun social events like Friendsgiving, or passing by have been super kind and supportive. The coaches and staff are one of a kind and would highly recommend Chalk to anyone looking to workout and have a great time!

FBA is the only training program I follow and recommend to others. The new app is next level. Itβs like being at the gym with a trained professional by your side showing you exactly what do and when.

Came to Chalk with no CrossFit experience, but the coaches - and members - helped me move from a slow powerlifter to a little bit of an athlete ;) Grateful for this place.

I've been attending their group exercise classes for two years now. Even though I was new to CrossFit when I started, I felt their Sweat! classes were a good introduction.
I highly recommend Chalk to someone new to CrossFit or someone who wants to try a new CrossFit gym. The instructors are helpful and overall the gym feels like a friendly place.

They refuse to respond when I ask them to cancel my program and payment. They offer nowhere on the website to cancel yet they say you can cancel βanytimeβ but thatβs not true if they never respond to you. Very poor customer service. Do not recommended.

I've been following the world of functional fitness for the last 15 years and I can honestly say that Chalk not only offers the best programming but offers the competitive atmosphere to help me achieve my fitness goals. Highly recommend if you're looking to get/stay in shape.

I visited her twice while in town for a quick visit. I know of the owner Ryan from Instagram and have been following the Chalk WODs from the online program. I was exited to drop in and do the workouts in a class format. In general the workouts are more challenging then most Crossfitβs and you get a good balance of strength and conditioning.
When I arrived the owner and the coaches were very pleasant and welcoming. I even got some local recommendations from them. As a frequent traveling I have probably visited dozens of Crossfitβs around the world and this is one of the best. It has the amenities of a high end gym you donβt normally get in Crossfit . All the equipment is also new and clean.
I wish I could workout here every day but will definitely stop in next time I am in town.

I've been at Chalk now for 4 months after spending a year and half at another local Crossfit. Since coming to Chalk I've made significant improvements in all facets of Crossfit. The coaching is top notch and the programming is definitely well thought out and makes sense. It isn't just hero WOD after hero WOD, there is rhyme and reason to it which is why I feel like I've improved so much. If you are looking for a great group of people and really want to improve at Crossfit this is the place. If you are just looking for some great work outs without the Oly or heavy lifting, than the Chalk sweat class is for you. I can't say enough good things about Ryan (the owner) and the facility.

I recently moved to the other city, so I no longer go to my Chalk anymore.
I miss the coaches and all the members here SOOOO much.
Chalk is the best facility I've ever been to. Can't believe this is a crossfit box.
Clean,spacious,nice bathrooms with lots of lockers. The equipment is set up very well,and I like Mirrors too! :) And OMG, their showeroom is the bomb!
This place belongs on the Vegas strip.

It doesn't get much better than this. After years of working out on my own and thinking I knew everything there was, my fitness started to go downhill. I decided to give Crossfit a try and went to a different gym based solely on price. I hated it. The facility was terrible and so were the coaches. I never felt welcome and almost gave up on trying this Crossfit craze.
I decided to give Chalk a try based off some recommendations from people I trust. I'm so glad I did!
Chalk is a KILLER Crossfit gym. It doesn't get much better than this. The coaching is great, the members are all supportive and nice, and the facilities are beautiful. If you've ever seen another Crossfit gym, you'll be blown away. Heck, there is even a great locker room with showers that I don't feel like I'm going to catch a disease. They're nicer than fancy country clubs I've worked out at.
I drive almost 20 miles round trip to go here and pass probably 10 different places. That's how much I dig this place. Not to mention that with Ryan's programming and his and Ashley, Jeff, and Joe's coaching, I've made some incredible progress in about 4 months. I've added 100 pounds, to my deadlift, 90 pounds to my front squat, and 60 pounds to my back squat, not to mention I'm finally learning how to properly clean, jerk, snatch, etc. Oh, and I was stuck at those numbers for YEARS. I managed to add all that strength in only 2-3 workouts a week for a few months.
Check Chalk out. You'll be glad you did.

5 star facility, coaches, owner, members,wods....you pick the order because it's all good!
They even have "Sweat" (cardio) classes for those fearful of the standard Crossfit class.... funny thing is that I've started to do these classes more than standard Crossfit classes because they are 40 minutes of intense (in a good way) work. Don't mess around with other gym's, make the right choice.

This review is long over due! Crossfit CHALK is definitely a amazing box. Not only is it gorgeous, but the coaches are excellent (Ryan, Jeff, and Ashley)!! My friend and I were visiting the area and dropped in twice. Everyone (coaches and members) was super welcoming, nice, and down to earth. I have visited other boxes during my travels and must say CHALK is exceptional in that they paid attention and coached us just the same as their regular members...this is not common. I would definitely go back if I were in the area again!
