Called twice to ask questions about gyn during business hours.met with no answer, visited gym. Parking is subpar, nobody at front desk. Waited around scrolling on my phone for at least 5 minutes and was met with nobody. Gym was essentially empty. Definitely have no intention of attending a place that doesnt even govern itself properly to attain new members.

You would think a bad review comes after you’ve already gone to an establishment and tried their services, but I wasn’t even able to get in the door after waiting almost a week to get a response from Paul “the pro and former champion kickboxer” regarding pricing to start his classes. I was more than comfortable paying for the individual classes until I was immediately insulted after being invited to talk about package pricing. I will never step foot into Playground Fitness and would rather pay more to work with humble individuals who don’t see their clients as a waste of their time. I’ll be taking my business to another facility within the very same plaza, but I am thankful that I didn’t waste my time and money on a clown like Paul.

I’ve been working with Oksana Yukhno for a few years now. And her work speaks for itself. She’s highly intelligent when it comes to anything fitness related. She cares and loves what she does. Always putting her clients first. Highly recommend her for coaching or personal training. The gym she personal trains at is a great facility for all your fitness goals. When I’m in town playground fitness is where I like to go for many reasons. Clean, great atmosphere, and the best equipment.

I really liked the gym, cozy, lots of exercise equipment. I want to express special thanks to the trainer Oksana Yukhno, she helped me to change my body for the better, I could not change it in myself for so long. In a short period of time I lost weight with her and strengthened my body. Thank you very much Oksana Yukhno.🩵🩵🩵

Great gym, I love it here. I met the owner at work he invited me to his gym and the rest is history. My trainer pushes me every workout and when the owner and his son get a chance they push me even further past my limits but all in good faith and not to injury myself. It’s only been two months in and I’m already seeing and feeling results more than I’ve ever had on my own, and of course I cannot forget to mention the warm and welcoming face of the owner’s wife as you enter the gym to greet you every time. Thank you Playground team for taking me under your wings to help me transform myself. I can’t wait to see what I look like by the end of the year!

Working out in this gym for 18 months already. Everyone is with a trainer. They have group and personal training sessions. Never crowded and always clean. My results are very satisfying. I am 35 and had some posture issues because of sitting job and low activity, but I was able to reverse this to almost normal condition with a help of Alex and his son (you would never believe, also Alex), trainers in Playground Gym. They have family oriented facility. Me, my wife and my daughter (10 years old) attending this place. Owner is a trainer himself. Great place!

Alex has made me an effective training program + I got my personalized meat plans, that I’ve been following for years with great results. I lost over 10 pounds in just 4-5 weeks ( not being on a diet, just working out and eating more healthfully).
Alex has been always flexible with my unstable schedule, it helped a lot not skipping my training sessions, thank you for that !

My wife and I have been members of Broward CrossFit for the past year. Previously we worked out for many years at a generic, machine-based gym. This is sooo much better in every way. We have made more gains this year then we did in all the many years before. Everyone at any age and any level of fitness can be accommodated through clever adaptations of the class activities by the outstanding coaches. There are classes at all times of day and the class format is much better than going alone - high energy, fun and educational. The CrossFit format means that you are challenged in every way possible and no two workouts are the same. You have to be committed -- i.e., no results if you don't show up -- and you are going to work hard -- but what a great place to do it!

I master many new movements in such short time and it is all because of the experience of the coaches.

I was down in Florida during the 2015 Christmas Holiday and decided to check out a local box. After visiting their online site and checking out the WOD of they day, I decided to drop in. The owner Heidi was great, greeting me as I was checking out and told me I could stop in the next day free of charge. I stopped in on Christmas Eve and was coached by Heidi and she gave me great tips she had learn from some of the great olympic weight lifters that helped me on my form. This was a great facility with a welcoming staff and I will definitely stop in when I am visiting again!

Broward Crossfit has so far been the best Crossfit box experience I've had in my 3+ years of Crossfitting. From the moment you walk, in the members greet you with a smile and welcome you as part of their community. The programming they offer is stellar. Although some days are grueling, I've never had better results. They focus on strength, conditioning, mobility, and gymnastic movements. They offer Crossfit, Crossfit Kids, Competitors' programming, and F.I.T. classes. The owners, Steve and Heidi, are great, down to earth, people who emanate their passion for the sport through dedicated coaching and engaging with members. My favorite coach is Billy. You'll see him there from open until close, supporting, encouraging, and fueling members to strive beyond their perceived limitations. All in all, Broward Crossfit is a wonderful box to call home.

By far, one of the best Crossfit Boxes I've been to. I started with Heidi years ago, and although I've moved out of state, I still apply all the techniques that I learned from them to this day. I've gone to other Boxes and have been praised on my techniques when it come to lifting. I really would like to think it was because of Heidi's constant push, patience and great advice. She really is an inspiration. I was new to crossfit when I started with Playground, but never once did I feel like an out-of-shape outcast, everyone was nice and encouraging which was important to me.

While vacationing in ft Lauderdale with my gf, both of us were interested in attending a cf in the area , off the recommendation of my gfs uncle , we went to the playground, and we were not disappointed. The Box is very big, and has plenty of equipment to work out with (including oly platforms). The two coaches we had, billy and billy (not kidding) were very informative and took us thru a great c&j progression, we did the wod and I even noticed that one of the coaches gave a great pointer to my Gf while she doing a push jerk. Spoke to one of the owners, who was also a really nice guy, overall a great box, which I would recommend to any and everyone. Go check it out!

Every workout is a personal training session. The instructors are very knowledgeable and we'll qualified with experience to go with it. Before each WOD, they teach all movements and correct your form to prevent injuries. It's a very warm and friendly atmosphere, all egos are checked by the door. The facility itself is very large, clean, and properly maintained. It is stocked with the latest equipment utilized today and you never have to worry about waiting in line for a piece of equipment. Besides reinvesting heavily into the gym, there are also other services such as cryotherapy and deep tissue massages available to aid in recovery. Did I mention they also teach Crossfit Kids!!...You get the point!!

Broward Crossfit has been my home since 2011. Trainers here are outstanding! Very knowledgable, though always encourage you to do more... They make sure you first and foremost have the right form. That is key in Crossfit as in any sport activity because without proper form injuries occur. The WOD's are constantly challenging you and keep you motivated.
From the first day I walked in to inquire about the gym I was welcomed by a genuinely warm staff. Love my box and I can't say enough about them!

As a Chiropractor who treats mainly Crossfit athletes, I can attest to the importance of good solid coaching. Day after day I see injuries that couldn have been avoided if proper technique was in place. One thing you can be sure of is this place puts a great deal of emphasis on technique and protecting its members from injury. The coaching is truly second to none! The one thing that stands out about BCF is the sense of community these members share. Steve and Heidi treat each and every member like family. I highly recommend giving BCF a chance and I can guarantee you that you wont be sorry.

At Broward Crossfit, I have experienced something I have waited a long time to find: great coaches and members and excellent programming. Until meeting Heidi at BCF, I had never found someone that made me feel immediately comfortable in a gym. She is fantastic! All of the coaches at BCF have helped me improve some aspect of my fitness. I have learned more about stretching, lifting, body movement, and gymnastics in the short time that I have been at this gym than I have anywhere else. The coaches at Broward Crossfit listen to my goals and work with me day in and day out to achieve them. BCF truly is a well rounded gym.

Broward Crossfit is truly a one of a kind facility. From the moment you walk into this facility you know you came to the right place. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a USA Weightlifting Sports Performance coach I have seen/trained at many facilities, but nothing compares. They have anything you need for various forms of strength and fitness training, not just "crossfit". From powerlifting programs, crossfit, Kids classes, olympic lifting classes, gymnastics classes etc...Broward crossfit stresses safety and recovery above all. Each coach is highly skilled and takes initiative to help every member perfect their technique. All their equipment is state of the art, all the way to their "cryo chamber" for recovery. Most importantly the the owners, Steve and Heidi Bowser, set the positive and encouraging atmosphere. They truly have a passion for the industry and their members.

As a physical therapist, its great to see a gym with excellent coaching that really emphasizes technique/ form and holds everyone to very high standards. It's one of the nicest facilities I've seen around the country and has just about any piece of equipment you can ever need or imagine (Dbs, yokes, prowlers, big bob, stones, reverse hypers, jerk blocks, olympic lifting bars, powerlifting bars, etc). Highly recommend anyone to check this place out of you get a chance. You won't be disappointed!

Steve Bowser is, without a doubt, one of the very best coaches you will find anywhere.
He opened the very first CrossFit gym in the Ft. Lauderdale area years ago and has continued to aggressively continue to learn and improve as a professional coach.
He has pursued training knowledge through numerous training disciplines and has earned the respect of coaches inside and outside of CrossFit.
He has brought such notable coaches as Louie Simmons, Dan John, and Zach Even-Esh in for seminars at his gym. Also he has pioneered in bringing Grid Sport to this area. He is the owner and coach of the powerful Miami Surge.
I have know Steve for years and could not recommend anyone more highly.

When I walked into Playground Broward CrossFit I immediately knew this would be my new home. Quality Coaching and Program Design is a must but 32 Rowers, 54 Ft Pull Up Rig and not to mention a Community that is second to none.
I came from another gym that had some great athletes and okay coaches but more or less ran their facility more like a Frat house then a professional training facility.
Lets face it we all get tweaks from training. Heidi, Steve, Billy, Liz, and Brad are the first one to tell me to back off on training and immediately how me Mobility and Stretching exercises to keep the body whole. We forget to add that in and EVERY Single class ends with a Stretching and mobility class. Ive been to over 30 CrossFit Gyms and never had such a great experience. I loved it so much I decided to do some privates to tighten up my Olympic Weightlifting movements. Class A facility.

Let me begin with walking into this facility and signing up was absolutely the best decision I have made for my health. The equipment available and guidance with trainers is by far the most elite experience you can expect to have in a gym. Not only am I doing things I didn't even fathom possible just a short time ago, but I have gained an amazing circle of friends. No one lets you quit and they will cheer you on till the very end. The point is for personal growth, so it doesn't matter if you finished first or last because we are all in it together. It's not only about getting a "summer bod", its about finding your strengths and working on your weaknesses. If your looking for a box with an abundance of options, programming and good times then you have found it.

Amazing staff and one of the best facilities I've ever seen. If you live around Ft Lauderdale and haven't been to The Playground yet, you're missing out!

I've been a member of Broward Crossfit for two and a half years. I absolutely love the coaches and the programming is amazing. I 'm addicted to the place. I love the challenge and the results. It's such a positive environment from the members to the coaches. The coaches will encourage, correct you, and also push you to your limits and help you grow. Broward Crossfit is my home away from home.

Broward CrossFit is a top notch facility. The trainers and staff are the best around! I would not want to go anywhere else! If you are new to CrossFit or have been doing it a while they will take great care of you. The coaches are very attentive and want to make sure you are doing everything properly and safely. Safety is the top priority here. While they would love to see you get better, they will not let you sacrifice proper form to get there, they want to make sure you do not get hurt! CrossFit is not easy, but it is a lot of fun, and very rewarding. Especially when you start to see results!

I have had the chance to spend a good amount time at Broward CrossFit whenever i come back to south florida to visit. It is my home away from home. The staff is amazing! Very knowledgable and supportive from the beginners to the advanced athletes. Also the facility is huge with more than enough equipment for classes and lifters in their Oly section. They have a huge top of the line Maverick Athletic rig custom made for their space. 5 Lifting platforms with Eleiko barbells and weights. Top notch all around and if you want to recover on the spot they have Cryotherapy on premises to recover strong. This is the place to train when you come to town to visit.

Im very out of shape and was nervous about starting a new training program. Steve recommended I come in and take a tour of the facility and thank goodness I did. Steve explained how the program can be modified for beginners and he told me I would crawl before I walk. Sure enough I've been a member of Broward CrossFit for 6 months and I lost 28 pounds and was able to do my first pull up unassisted. I cant wait to do my first scaled competition.

Incredible Instruction and Programming.
No matter what level of fitness you are at this is by far the best CrossFit Training Facility around and Ive been to over 30 around the Country. Steve and Heidi run a world class training facility and constantly keep up on their education to pass onto their clients.
Don't even bother checking any others out.

I moved from Maryland a month and a half ago. A very good friend recommended that I check out Broward CrossFit, and I'm glad this was the first place I stepped in. Great coaching and training. You just can't go wrong. This is my new CrossFit home gym!

Probably the most knowledgeable, experienced coaches in South Florida. And I can't imagine a nicer, more well equipped facility. And talk about going the extra mile for their athletes...how many other gyms out there are willing to put in a cryotherapy unit so that their athletes have access to the best recovery methods available?

After two years of Crossfit at another gym, I was disappointed when my progress began to standstill. I was then introduced and openly welcomed into the Broward CrossFit family. Once I was able to join in on the programming and push myself to keep up with the other incredible athletes, it was a game changer for me and I could never see myself training at another gym again. All of the trainers are highly qualified and decorated with seminar experiences and certifications and are the kindest and most patient people you could turn to for help. There is a huge member base that is more of a family than just paying customers and they are always willing to partner with you on a wod, give quick advice on a lift, or share a beer with you at one of our parties. Whether you are a newbie to the whole crossfit thing and have no idea how to begin or are an experienced and competitive athlete, THIS is the training facility for you.

Great trainers. I love training here. They ensure safety first. Coming in I was overweight and worried about being able to do cross fit or the program being mostly men lighting extreme weights. Not true at all, they scale the workouts, to ensure people are safe and no people do not throw up. I never felt judged or put down due to weight or fitness level. Also, I was presently surprised how many women were there. It is a nice, family facility. Everyone pushes to make each other better and best no creepy guys. I attended Liz's classes and loved her. I also worked with Brad, Billy, Heidi, and Steve; all who are great. Classes are small, with trainers always around. At times there were 4 coaches in the class, for a class of 15! The coaches walk around and ensure everyone is doing the workout properly and will help you do better.

I've been a member at Crossfit Affliction since December of 2008 and I've never regretted my decision to leave the conventional style fitness center. I like to visit other affiliates when I'm out of town and while I've had some great experiences at other gyms the coaching at Affliction is second to none. Although I'd consider myself an experienced Crossfitter I appreciate critiques on my form and technique. All the coaches at Affliction have lent constructive critcism that has been a big help to my progress. I live closer to two other Crossfit boxes than I do to Affliction but I will continue to drive the extra distance in order to receive the benefits of the Bowsers' experience and education.

Ripped, Abs, No BS, AND GREAAAAT Trainers and People. I started 2 weeks ago. I am down 15 LBS, My legs are swore weekly. Other gyms do not emphasize the TECHNIQUES as much as they do and that's what makes them that much better. Crossfit can be for everyone but is not for everyone. If it is for you, your CLINICALLY CRAZY not to come here. PEACEOUTCYALALABYE

"You get out what you put in" -Aristotle.

What was said then holds true to now, exactly that. If you walk in that door with a chip on your shoulder and negative vibes.. as with anything in life.. you're not going to get very far.

I will say this, I read the negative google reviews on CF Affliction and I am not going to lie, they disheartened me. It actually dis-swayed me from joining for about 3 weeks. Then I put on my big girl pants and said to myself.. "Let me make my own decision." That was the best decision I have ever made.

I called, left a message, and was contacted shortly thereafter by Glenn Ocampo. We sat down and chatted about my goals, current situation, pricing, and all of that jazz. I signed up. This was the end of July 2012.

The next day I did my on ramp with Heidi Bowser (owner and wife of the acclaimed "unstable man" Steven Bowser). We went through technique after technique over and over and over.. and over and over... and over again. I had already been crossfitting for a while but kept getting injured/was not seeing the progression that I wanted. Turns out my technique was off. Go Figure! So what did we do? More practice.. over and over.. ha. I thought I was going to die and I think I was only using the 35lb bar.

Fast forward a week. I had randomly signed up to compete in a CF competition that weekend. I was a newbie at the gym, I didn't advertise it, I didn't know anyone, and I didn't really think anyone would care that I was doing the comp. HA! Boy was I wrong. I mentioned to Heidi that I was, she called me immediately went over each and every detail of the workout with me.

Later that day I then stopped by the gym to pick up an affliction shirt to wear while competing. Steve and Glenn were there and they again asked me if I was good with the workouts. There was one part of the workout that I wasn't sure if I would be able to do... an 8ft wall climb. So what did we do? Steve promptly walked me out to a wall outside of the gym and climbed it to show me how. HOW COOL IS THAT.. I've not known these people for over a week and they are going out of their way to support/coach/make me feel comfortable. That is exactly what I was looking for in a gym.

The competition was great, some new friends came to cheer me on, and even some of the coaches came out to watch! It made me feel loved, supported, and motivated.

I've since gone on to have numerous personal records, made some amazing new lifelong friends, and pushed myself beyond so many boundaries that I thought were there.

This is a great place, Steve is not a crazy person (well in a bad way.. because I think all crossfitters are crazy to an extent), Heidi is sweet, supportive, and welcoming, and all of the other trainers there are amazing!

I joined CFA about 3 months ago and I've loved every minute of it. The people are so welcoming and caring that they would go out of their way to do anything for you. The trainers are awesome and they really focus on your form more then just how much you can lift which is so important because without the right form and technique you could injure yourself badly. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who's interested in trying out Crossfit, as well as those who are already experts!

Best gym with the best programming. if you're serious about training or just serious about getting in shape, this is the place. If you want someone to cottle you and use nice words, then go somewhere else. you will get yelled at. there is foul language. you will find support yet no one here is going to hold your hand, this isn't a daycare. you will sweat. you will cry. you may even find yourself curled up in the fetal position begging for your mommy. but you will discover an athlete in you, and that's a guarantee.

I have tried many gyms over the years and I am really enjoying Crossfit Affliction. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I maybe a newbie, but people are always trying to help when I have questions. I am seeing results after my first month and am feeling much better at making a greater effort in my workouts.

The programs change daily and the workouts are challenging. It does not matter what your age, you just do what you can plus a little more. It is an open air gym so you get a great sweat. Special thanks to Steve, Heidi, Liz and Billy - they have been so helpful as well as supportive.

This has been my home for over 2 years, and I can't even imagine going back to a "normal gym". Crossfit is also not for everyone. You either have to know what your getting into to, or be willing to give it the time it takes for your body to adjust to this sort of work out. We grunt, we scream and curse; and we are there for each other. If you miss a few sessions, you'll not only hear it from the trainers, but from the other members!
The problem with reviews of this sort, is that only people with bad experiences think to write something. For every unhappy review, there is one unhappy customer. For ever happy review there are at least a dozen happy customers. When we hear that our home is getting a bad review, we all leap into action to correct it.
