I am a new member of the Crossfit community and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I had never been able to maintain a consistent gym routine at a regular gym because i always felt so lost and unwelcome but here… From the moment i stepped in, Coach G was very welcoming, patient, and very knowledgeable. Him & his whole team have done an amazing job to take the time to explain movements, make sure my form was safe, and encouraged me to go at my own pace. If you’re considering CrossFit but feel nervous to start, just like I was, this is the perfect place. I’m so glad I gave it a try & I only wish I had joined sooner!

I’ve been a member of CrossFit Provoke for a little over a year now, and as someone trying CrossFit for the first time, I can’t recommend this place enough if you're on the fence. Coach G and his team do an amazing job of meeting you where you’re at. They started with a comprehensive assessment of my skill level and scaled my workouts appropriately, ensuring a safe yet challenging experience.

I’m in my 40s and have always led a fairly active lifestyle, but since joining Provoke, I’ve gained — and continue to gain — strength, mobility, and endurance like never before. The programming is both effective and safe, and the coaching staff genuinely looks out for you.

What really sets this gym apart is the culture. From day one, I was welcomed by a community that values accountability and support. The encouragement I received in those early months made a huge difference, and it’s the kind of environment that keeps you coming back.

I enjoyed my time at CrossFit Provoke! Great coaches who watch your form and have great input on addressing any issues or struggles you may have. They have a great community of all strengths so there’s no feeling left out. If you’re looking for a gym who offers a sense of community and encouragement, this is the place for you.

Dropped in- loved that they had a noon class which is perfect for travelers who want to sleep in on vacation but go out in the evenings. The class totally kicked my ass in the best way. Small gym but plenty of equipment, super friendly owner. Would definitely come back.

I've always believed that life has a unique way of pushing us toward self-betterment at the right time. For me, that push came at a crucial juncture in my life - entering my mid-30s, embracing impending fatherhood, and battling the daily grind of a full-time career. The yearning for a healthier, fitter version of myself led me to the welcoming doors of CrossFit Provoke.

As someone who had a fair share of gym hours under my belt, I was no stranger to the world of fitness. However, CrossFit was uncharted territory. The mixed reviews and some intimidating stories had brewed a concoction of anticipation and apprehension. But, the moment I filled out the online form for a two-week trial, I knew I was stepping into a community, not just a gym. The prompt call from Coach G, the owner, exuded warmth and genuine concern toward understanding my fitness background. His easy-going yet insightful conversation eased my nerves, setting a joyous prelude to the journey I was embarking on.

The two-week trial was nothing short of an enlightening experience. Unlike the horror stories where newcomers were thrown into the deep end, Coach G took it upon himself to ensure I learned the correct form for each lift. Every WOD (Workout of the Day) was a new learning curve, fine-tuned to challenge yet not overwhelm me. The camaraderie among the members was the cherry on top.

Fast forward eight months and the reflection in the mirror is of a man in the best shape of his 30s. But it's not just the physical transformation; it's the mental fortitude, the sense of community, and the daily dose of laughter and support from fellow members that make CrossFit Provoke a sanctuary of holistic well-being.

The coaches here don't just teach; they inspire. The members don't sweat it out together; they build lifelong bonds. Every day at CrossFit Provoke is a testament to what a nurturing, challenging, and supportive fitness environment can do to one's life.

To anyone on the fence about joining CrossFit Provoke, take it from someone whose life has pivoted towards a healthier, happier horizon - this place is a game-changer. As I continue to improve and challenge my limits each day, I can't help but be grateful for taking the initiative to fill out the online form and start my journey.

Over the past year, I’ve explored more than 20 ish gyms, and Provoke stands out as one of the most family-oriented environments I’ve encountered. Here, everyone is embraced like family, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The programming has pushed me beyond my limits, making me stronger and enhancing my overall well-being. In just one year at Provoke, I've achieved more progress than I ever thought possible.

I’ve been a member since September 2020. I’m so happy my husband introduced me to CrossFit Provoke because I feel I have become stronger. I used to go to another CrossFit gym in Ecuador and I never felt strong as now. What I really love here is the support of the community and the coaches are great. I trained my 9 months of pregnancy and Coach G helped me adapt to the programming during that time. I can’t say enough good things about CrossFit Provoke, thank you!

I would definitely recommend!

I've been a member of CrossFit Provoke in Lomita, CA for 3 years. The first 1.5 years were a bit on and off for me, but once I started increasing my attendance (a min of 3x per week) my nutrition improved, and in time I noticed a tremendous amount of endurance and stamina in other ares of my life start benefiting from being functionally in shape. As a small business owner, I am often sitting at my desk all day long, so staying active is essential. More importantly I husband and father of young kids and my time is incredibly limited. I needed a gym where I could get in, get an efficient workout done in an hour, and get out—and CrossFit Provoke has been perfect for that.

What sets this gym apart is the accountability and the synergy from the other members and staff. The community here is inspiring, made up of incredible everyday people who are dedicated to their fitness journey, regardless of age or athletic background. Everyone pushes each other in the best way possible.

One of the things I really appreciate is how they scale or modify workouts without shame or guilt. Whether you're just starting out or have been doing CrossFit for years, they meet you exactly where you're at, fitness-wise. Their attention to proper technique is unmatched, and the coaches know exactly when to push you and when to hold back.

If you're looking for a supportive, motivating, and welcoming environment, CrossFit Provoke is where you want to be.

I’ve been doing this program for about a month and It’s been great experience. Coaches are great to meet and are very informative when assisting with techniques step by step as well as avoid injury. People participating are great too, they support one another and hold one another accountable to ensure we’re all full compliant to workouts planned. I would def recommend to others as I have with my sister and sister in law who enjoy it and participate as much as they can when visiting. Was fortunate to receive this recommend from my coworker and I’ve been consistent since.

After not being able to do CrossFit for years I finally came across Provoke who run WODs at times I can actually make it to. The groups are just big enough to have a good vibe but not too big to where you're sharing a bar or tripping over each other.

I started CrossFit Provoke right at 6 months ago. I came in without any experience or understanding of CrossFit but that changed quickly. Everyone from fellow classmates to our Coach were very supportive and encouraging. I immediately felt at home and progressed quickly with this support and coaching. I originally joined to help prepare for some hiking goals and the workouts helped a lot! I look forward to continued growth and future fitness goals with CrossFit Provoke. Thank you!

Just visit one time and you will know why this is really a more than 5-star xfit box. I was going to hop around and visit various boxes at the start of my quest to find a box. Started with Provoke and never went to another box. Member since Jan 2019. Coach G is a top notch trainer with a wealth of knowledge about clean eating, physical activity and key steps to support you in reaching your goals. Oh and the peeps I’ve met along the way is an added bonus!

Provoke Crossfit Gym is one of the best gyms I've ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy and passion that the coach and members have for fitness and wellness. The facility itself is well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need to take your workouts to the next level.

What really sets Provoke Crossfit Gym apart, though, is the community. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging, whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out. The coach is knowledgeable, attentive, and always willing to help you improve your technique and reach your goals.

I've been a member of Provoke Crossfit Gym for two months now, and I've seen incredible progress in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I've also made some amazing friends and feel like I'm part of a family. Whether you're looking to lose weight, build muscle, or just get in better shape, Provoke Crossfit Gym is the place to be.

Only went for a short time but actually enjoyed going there, if that makes any sense. I am not a gym person and was very intimidated going in the first day, but you soon find the coach and instructors and the other students make it a welcoming environment. And it's not easy but soon you are pushing yourself and within a couple weeks, you see results. You are lifting more, you are running a little faster, you are starting to look better.

This place is great, the members are friendly and welcoming the routine setting is creative.

I recently joined CrossFit Provoke (in August 2022). I reached out to get some information and was offered a 2-week free trial. Garrick (the head coach and owner) never harassed with a sales pitch instead he genuinely asked about what I wanted out of my CrossFit experience, what my goals were and what concerns I had. Garrick listened and learned about what I was looking for before letting me know why it sounded like a good fit for me to join.

I had some CrossFit experience and I was a bit intimidated at first, but the other members are warm and welcoming, the coaches are all focused on you as an individual, and will nudge to get your best effort, but never, ever, make you feel that you haven't done enough.

Provoke has become my "happy place" both my hubby and I became members and have been very consistent because we look forward to going to the gym and I am already feeling physically stronger and leaner, after 2 short months.

Best gym ever! Garrick, owner and head coach, really looks into helping all his athletes succeed and improve to achieve their fitness goals. It doesn't matter your current fitness or skill level, the workouts will be modified to each athlete's level. The gym really has that community feel, everyone is welcoming and motivating. It's that friendly accountability that also motivates you to keep coming in each day. It's always more fun working out with friends and having fun at the same time. If you have ever been on the fence about trying Crossfit because it seems intimidating or hard, just do it! You won't regret it. I have been doing Crossfit for almost 8 years now and I am so glad I found Crossfit Provoke!

Having become newish to the area and gyms opening up, I wanted something new, effective and social with respect to my workouts. I trialed 3 gyms within my area: the first lacked the energy, expertise and parking; the second allowed 2 trial sessions, overpriced and incorporated group dance routines at the end of each workout that I felt compelled to participate in (which I'm not knocking on, just not what I was looking for). The 3rd was Crossfit Provoke, although not immediately responsive to my last minute online inquiry to join in on a 0500 class Garrick was very welcoming and accommodating (Instead of trialing he mentioned a very affordable 1 month groupon that I quickly purchased after that first session). He made a brief assessment of where I was at before allowing me to participate. He encouraged form, safety and progressive mobility over lifting heavy. It is his routine to practice complex movements, lifting techniques with each class before getting into the workout. He also has a skill in suggesting therapeutic methods for increasing mobility, flexibility and reducing pain. I had the nastiest trap knot hindering some movements, producing discomfort, numbness and pain in my right arm, ongoing for 2 years; with some simple and practical suggestions by Garrick of stretches and massages, the knot is no more, associated symptoms gone and my mobility/flexibility has much improved. Following the end of my groupon it felt entirely natural to sign up (of the 3 gyms, Provoke was the most affordable which I really appreciate and I hope it remains as such to bring accessibility out there). It's clear Garrick has built quite a community at Provoke, his members trust his expertise, enjoy his personality and respect his coaching. As you come through he may seem like he's not paying attention, the too cool for school type of look, long hair in the wind, yet he is always watching and identifying those struggling with form and giving them personalized attention. G is the common face you'll see as he is running the show but he is building a wonderful team of coaches, Destinee is the one many would call the nice one, nonetheless always pushes and encourages members to do and be their best while offering a warm welcoming atmosphere for all. In addition to crossfit, this was the unicorn on the grassy knoll for me, you will have the opportunity to train in boxing and/or must thai! At the moment it is a separate membership but it's all under one roof! Aside from workouts, Garrick wants to build a strong community and so has various social get togethers, graffiti paint nights, potlucks etc. You can't go wrong stepping into Crossfit Provoke. You will be challenged, you will be trained and you will grow (not just muscles). If I could offer constructive criticism to any CFP folk it's having towels and disinfectants available throughout the whole gym and asking members to clean their own equipment with provided disinfectant or even disinfecting towelette dispenser. Same for running bands and resistance bands, option to toss in a tub of disinfectant, that is one change I hope can come to fruition. Dont hesitate folks, you dont need a new years resolution to step in here, theres people of varying sizes, abilities, ages all in there with the common goal of health, wellbeing and community, coach will be there waiting for you

Without exaggeration, this is the best gym I’ve ever been to. Garrick and his team of coaches actually want you to succeed. Whatever your goals are, they’re going to help you reach them. Not sure what goals to set for yourself? They’ll help you identify the best areas for improvement, and then help you improve them. In addition to the classes, he offers programs that help you dial in your nutrition, and events that are fun as well as challenging.
The whole atmosphere is positive. Other members will give you a smile, a hand, a word of encouragement, and share tips for improvement that they found helpful. I can’t say enough good things!

Provoke offers great workouts, a great community, and a great environment. The owner also offers programming that teaches how to structure a healthy lifestyle. This place has made me better in a lot of ways and I would recommend it to anyone in the area who is serious about improving their fitness.

I've been doing CrossFit for 3 years now. I moved out of the Southbay about 1 year ago and have had the experience of joining several different gyms in my new home town. Nothing compares to CrossFit Provoke. The community is so much more friendly and accepting than anything I've encountered at other gyms, and the coaching is great. I really miss this place and all the great people I met and formed lasting friendships with.
