Dropped in while on vacation with family. Probably my favorite gym I've ever dropped in to (and I've been to quite a few). Small, but great atmosphere and Mel is a great coach. Absolutely will come back.

Whether a local resident or just in town for a few days, come try a class with coach Mel. Even if you have never done CrossFit before, Mel will find a way to help you get the best out of your workout. This gym is an important part of the community and I hope you come see why!

dropped in for 4 classes, while on vacation - first time cross fitting- I do HIIT / bootcamps where I live but was a bit intimidated to go. The coaches ( Mike and Mel)are very helpful explaining everything, helping with form and modifications. Great workout and was walkable from our condo - BONUS πŸ€— you have to try this place if you are in town or live in the area.

Was looking for a CrossFit gym to drop into while on vacation and was thrilled to see that IRB offered a Saturday morning class *on the beach*

Being able to workout on the beach was such a treat, and Coach Mike and the rest of the class were all super welcoming. They even went out of their way to recommend a ton of local restaurants for me to check out.

Highly recommend!!!

My 3-week drop in journey at IRB CrossFit was nothing short of exceptional. Mel, the owner and coach, truly stands out with her expertise and dedication.

From the moment you step in, Mel's keen eye is already assessing your form and fitness level, ensuring you get personalized attention right from the start. Her ability to pinpoint exactly what you need to improve sets the stage for progress. What's more, Mel's inclusive approach caters to everyone, regardless of their athletic background or abilities.

The gym itself is top-notch, and the proximity to the beach adds an extra dimension to the experience.

If you're looking for a welcoming environment and professional guidance to achieve your fitness goals, look no further than IRB CrossFit.

Highly recommended and will be back again.

Totally wish I lived here! I dropped in to three classes while on vacation. Mel is so knowledgeable and encouraging, pushed me a little out of my comfort zone but challenged me in the best way. The gym was clean, programming was varied and challenging, Mel was welcoming. Seriously, drop in here if you can!

Dropped in at IRB CrossFit for the second year in a row and would definitely recommend this gym if you’re in the area! The programming is challenging, and very well done and the coaching is excellent. The members are also super friendly and welcoming.
Coach Mel takes a lot of care to help athletes move better and also appropriately challenges them according to their skill level. I look forward to dropping in again next time I’m in the area!

What a lovely experience at IRB training for the first time there being a out-of-towner.
Numerous seen at other gyms(crossfit and mma) you always experience insecurities and ego(males unfortunately ;-)..but Melanie is very inviting,warm friendly and make you feel comfortable in a new environment. Great experience as well! Give Melanie 10/10 easy

Dropped in on vacation; really solid programming that the owner creates herself. She was attentive to my form and I appreciated the help with technique even though I was just a visitor. Like other reviews have said, from the vibes and the coach I also felt welcomed and challenged at this gym! Overall looking forward to dropping in on future vacations! Cheers

My husband and I dropped several times in while on vacation, we used the week pass which was perfect. We really liked the gym, great coaching, the members were friendly and welcoming, and the facility was clean and had everything you need. Definitely recommend doing the beach workout if you’re there on a Saturday, they meet at the gym and go over the workout and equipment and then head to the beach as a group. If you don’t want to swim you can substitute something else πŸ’ͺπŸ™‚.

This is THE gym for the Clearwater area! Everyone is super friendly, and Coach Mel is fantastic. She is a highly skilled instructor who does a great job assessing every ability level and adjusting the workout to fit individual needs.

By far the best CrossFit gym I’ve been to! I ended up becoming a CrossFit regular and developing a stronger passion for the sport thanks to the coaching and community at this gym.

After I moved to a different state, the coach at my new gym told me I had really good form for someone with such long legs. That’s all thanks to IRB Crossfit - no other gym was able to help me like that! Thanks Mel :)

I had a fabulous experience at IRB CrossFit earlier this year. I was there during week 2 of the CrossFit Open. Mel and all the other members welcomed me in like family from the start and cheered me on in the Open! I’m going back to visit my family soon and I already know I’m going to do a daily drop in at CrossFit IRB!!!! The workouts were fun and dynamic and included indoor and outdoor exercises. Loved it!!!

Dropped in a few times on vacation for open gym and a beach workout! Owner was very friendly and the gym was nice and clean. If you're looking for a place to get a workout in on your stay, this is the place. Try out a Saturday morning beach workout!

IRB Crossfit and Coach Mel are amazing, I've been there once, travelling from Australia and, I wouldn't go anywhere else, best Crossfit gym I've ever been to. Whether working out in the gym, or on the beach, I highly recommend IRB Crossfit for fun and challenging workouts, with a great gym community. I have also used coach Mel for strength and conditioning training planning while at home in Australia because I trust her knowledge and experience.

We’ve been going to IRB CrossFit and coach Mel for over 2 years. Every personal training session is a WORKOUT!!. It’s tailored to our needs, strength and endurance. She has a keen eye on when to push harder and we love it. No two sessions are the same. I don’t know how she does that, but it makes it so much fun to be challenged.
She’s also very active in our IRB community and that just wonderful.

What to say about IRB…. And specifically Coach Mel… wow not sure where to begin because there is so much greatness! You will never regret a workout /an environment that is practiced around or through Mel. She is such a bright light and believes in every single person that ever walks through the door- and for SOO many reasons, she is hands down the best of the best as a CrossFit coach, and as a person in general. Period!

I started CrossFit for the first time a month & a half ago, I haven’t been more in love with a sport thanks to Coach Mel. IRB CrossFit has the best community… so welcoming, encouraging and fun!!!! I was definitely scared to try something new but I am so blessed to be here with the IRB Community and Coach Mel. I can’t wait to continue with CrossFit and eventually compete once my skills improve. The gym is always clean, the equipment is incredible and the workouts are amazing! I have already seen so many changes in my body mentally and physically and for that, I am thankful! Thank you Coach Mel & IRB Community.. y’all rock!

Classic CrossFit workouts in a top notch facility, the vibe at IRBCF is beachy and casual - the kind of place you instantly feel at home. The Saturday beach workouts are fun and accessible. Coach Mel is down to earth and sharp, clearly very experienced as a coach and athlete herself. Everyone, member or drop-in, loves her.

Also, the merch is awesome so make sure to buy a shirt or two! And stickers. And a hat. 😁

IRB CrossFit gym is an awesome gym. I discover this gym in 2020 in my trip to IRB. Coach Mel was the nicest person ever and welcome me with open arms. I learned so much in the few days that I dropped in. I make sure that I drop in each time I visit IRB. I went back to IRB CrossFit in 2021 and still had an awesome experience and even worked out on the beach.

We are here on vacation and decided to drop in for my first ever CrossFit workout. It could not have been a better experience. The owner/coach was very welcoming and explained the workout so a newbie like me could understand. The best part was the care and attention she gave to my technique and form. I must have learned a half dozen different things. The class was friendly with great support and encouragement. I will definitely be back while I am in town (despite how sore I know I will be). Highly recommended.

IRB CrossFit is a truly special gym, and we can't wait to come back. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon the gym during our vacation in IRB, and instantly fell inlove with the space, CrossFit, and the community in IRB. What makes the gym truly special and unlike any gym we've been to before... is Coach Mel. She's knowledgeable, open, and so welcoming. She takes time to know your strengths and weaknesses, and focuses on your goals. Sometimes we felt like she knew our bodies better than we did! We were able to learn so much about our bodies, our strengths/weaknesses, and about CrossFit from her. As a couple that stuck to traditional weightlifting at gyms, CrossFit was completely new to us. But because of Coach Mel and the community, we were able to fit right in and learn about this fantastic sport. There's no going back now, and we can't wait to take everything we learned from Coach Mel/IRB CrossFit into our future gym routines!! Thank you for everything Mel, you're the best!!!!

OUTSTANDING GYM! I live in Atlanta but born and raised in FLA and have family beach house in Madeira so I have been coming to the beach here and dropping in at local gyms for years. Coach Mel/ Crossfit IRB have been the best experience in over a decade! Cleanest gym I've ever been in and you don't have to leave the beach to get here! If you are coming to the area or live here already......definitely check it out!

I was at IRB for a couple months and am not a CrossFit follower, though I Iove movement and exercise. Mel, the owner, was awesome. She makes all workouts inclusive and modifies individually. So some people were doing tons of weights and reps and others, like me, were doing less, but still working on our form and challenging ourselves. The highlight was taking it to the beach (Tues and Sat. morning, at least for now). So freakin' fun! I shall return! (And it's also inspired me to step up my game a bit at home.)
