Kayla @ CF For The People was great! Very welcoming group and solid coaching! CFHQ would be proud. Thanks for letting me hangout and hopefully I can stop by again soon.

I was a member at CrossFit For The People for about two years before moving out of state. The gym itself is super clean and organized, with new Rogue equipment. What really sets CFTP apart, though, is the community and how the classes are run. Everyone was always on time (or early) and respectful. Every class starts with a 'question of the day' to break the ice and get people talking, which makes it easy to get to know everyone. The coaches take the time to make sure you’re properly warmed up and walk through all the lifts or technical parts of the workout so you feel confident and know what you’re doing (I definitely miss this at my current gym).

I've been to more than 50 CrossFit boxes as I travel, and this is one of the best. Dropped in for a 5:15am class. Joe was coaching, and he was terrific. All the members introduced themselves and were super nice. Facility is clean and the equipment is well-maintained. If I still lived in the area, this would be my home box!

Recently went to CrossFit for the first time ever and it was an amazing experience. It is definitely better than just going to the gym and plugging away with headphones, which I normally do.

Coach Kayla organized the class so efficiently whether it be the structure of the class or tips on exercises. She made it extremely easy for me to understand everything. It was my first class, but I did feel a sense of community with everyone. Everyone was very nice and welcoming which made the experience what it was.

However, I wish I had a fair chance with guessing the songs at the beginning.. Iykyk.. I want my revenge.

I am looking forward to coming back next time I’m in the area which should be hopefully soon! Thanks again Coach Kayla and CrossFit For the People !!

Well organized, clean, big, and great people. Coach Kayla was very thorough, and helpful pointing out improvements in movements without being pushy.

Solid equipment - I saw a lot of Rogue, very good condition barbells, weights, rowers, bikes, etc. Dumbbells and weight plates are very well organized - it makes a difference!!

Came for a drop-in workout, and will come again next time I'm in town. highly recommend!

I attended a noon class as a drop-in, and was more than pleased with every aspect (cleanliness, layout, ease of finding equipment) of the gym, as well as the welcome I received from coach Melissa and the seven FTP members who were part of this class. There was just a very positive overall vibe, and were I attending as a CF "newbie" doing a first trial, I would be impressed and encouraged by what seems to be a cohesive and supportive community. I will also mention that in inquiring about doing a drop-in, I received a very enthusiastic welcome from owner Kayla, who generously helped me navigate the online drop-in registration process. Wonderful experience all around, to be sure, and I visit For The People again in a heartbeat!

If there was a place that should be a six star, it’d here. Why?? Clean. Stocked. Vibe is amazing. Owner and coaching staff is knowledgeable, nice, motivating and driven. Just go.

I did a drop in class at Crossfit For The People and it was fantastic! The space is nice, the equipment is great but the best part was the community. Everyone was super friendly, supportive and the owner Kayla is the best. I had some back pain (prior to going to her gym), and she texted me suggestions and helped me work through a plan.

An amazing gym full of coaches and community members who care about you as a person. Joining CFTP was one of the best decisions I have made, and I continue to be grateful for this gym and community every day. Becoming stronger and overall healthier inside of this space has allowed me to lead a more fulfilled life full of adventures outside of the gym.

CFTP is more than just a gym. The community is what makes this place special. Everyone is friendly, encouraging, and supportive. The coaches are very knowledgeable and provide scaling options that are accessible to everyone. The facility is super clean and well equipped.

I never thought I was “fit” enough for CrossFit, but after my first class I realized that you don’t need to be an athlete to participate! This place has changed my life for the better. Not only have I become physically stronger and healthier, but mentally has well.

I joined CrossFit for the People about 5 years ago with no prior CrossFit experience. I was nervous and hesistant until I met the owner Kayla and the other members. The community that has been built within the gym is like no other. I have made lifelong friends from joining this gym! Besides the great community, Kayla and the other coaches are extremely knowledgeable. They are always providing different modifications for movements so that everyone in the room can have a great workout and still be safe doing so! CrossFit for the People has made such a positive impact on my life, I highly recommend trying a class!
Best Hour of My Day 😊

I've been a member of CFTP since 2019 and consider it my home away from home. Beyond the extensive knowledge each coach has and the feeling you get after a great workout, the community aspect and the relationships formed make this gym a great place for any and all skill levels. Come check it out, you wont regret it!

I was introduced to CrossFit in August of 2018 @ the age of 55 by the owner of CFTP Kayla Tote. I had never done anything like it before so while I excited, I was also very nervous and, honestly, very intimated. I quickly realized that I had nothing to fear. Just by walking in those doors, I found amazing coaches that were there for me for every moment of successes and failures providing guidance, technic and most importantly, scaling option for everything that led to many goals I never thought I would reach. There is also a tremendous sense of Community with the people at this gym. Every one is there cheering you on no mattter what. Fast forward 5 years later and I’m still doing CrossFit at CFTP. I’m stronger, both physically and mentally. I’m so grateful for Kayla, her coaching staff and the awesome community that they have created. Just walk through the doors and see for yourself!!

CFTP was my introduction to CrossFit, and it FOREVER changed my relationship with myself and my body.

CFTP isn’t simply a gym. It is a catalyst to and a community for your BEST self.

The founding coach, Coach Kayla, and EVERY coach on her team is not just an amazing trainer; they are amazing HUMANS who will equip, encourage and empower you on every step of your journey.

Whether you are an awkward teen or an aging senior, a new mom struggling to restore your body or someone recovering from a surgery seeking to regain your mobility, a recovering couch potato or an Olympic grade athlete, there is a place for you at CFTP.

I truly cannot recommend CFTP enough. They are the G.O.A.T.!

No changes... neighbors still in need of a sound dampening/arresting barrier.

* Warning: cross fit exercise does not automatically make you a good human. Care about someone other than yourself!

This is a great place to work out. The coaches are exceptional; they're knowledgeable in crossfit as well as body mechanics. They teach slowly and deliberately in order to focus on form. They are always able to accommodate any issues you may be having- at 60, crossfit always presents a challenge.
This community is phenomenal- supportive and always ready to cheer you on. They are a great group of people from a variety of professions. Credit for this vibe should be given to the owner who pushes everyone to be better both inside and outside the gym.
They are also hyper-vigilant regarding disinfection, distancing and masks. The safety of the members is evident here as well. Equipment is current and well maintained.

Just wanna say thank you for being so considerate of your neighbors by waking me up every morning at the crack off dawn by dropping weights and shaking my house. Guess you really don't care about everyone's health and well being unless they are paying you

I am not the type of person who enjoys working out. However, I do very much enjoy eating so here I am 🤗! I had this unrealistic fear that I could never do Crossfit and since joining CFTP I actually look forward to working out! One might go as far as to say I'm addicted! The positive energy, comrodary, accountability keeps me motivated to come back. This experience has definitely taken me out of my comfort zone and I love it! I'm also starting to see my body change and I couldn't be happier!

Being new to crossfit, i definitely was feeling a bit intimidated! However, from the moment I reached out to the beautiful owner on a few questions, I immediately felt like family! Such an incredible workout, fantastic community, and a true pleasure to watch someone change lives, and do it with such heart, and passion!!
I'm hooked...

I’ve been doing CrossFit for 6 years and this is the most positive environment I’ve had the pleasure of calling “home.” The coaches are knowledgeable and energetic. They know how to work the room and coach EVERYONE. Whether you’re new or “know what you’re doing” - you’ll feel comfortable and get better.

The programming is great! We all leave like a sweaty mess. Whether you’re new and nervous of seasoned and ready, this is a great place for everyone. The energy, the members, the coaching, the programming... it’s all great.

I love walking in every morning and I feel so accomplished when I leave. I HIGHLY recommend you stop by :-)

I have nothing but great things to say about CFTP! I just finished my first month and I’m so glad that I joined this community. I decided to try CrossFit because I wanted to get onto better shape and to get into a better fitness routine overall. I knew that I needed the structure of set classes with great coaches to teach me the correct technique and movements, as well as challenge me to go out of my comfort zone. I knew absolutely nothing about CrossFit prior, but was familiar with Kayla through the yoga, and I felt really comfortable (and not intimidated) getting started here. I felt so welcomed right away at CFTP and I’m so thankful that I decided to give this a try. I can’t wait to continue to learn and grow with everyone in this new growing community!

I can’t say enough good about CFTP. The coaches are amazing at what they do & they care deeply about every person that walks through their doors. I’ve been there for about a month & it’s awesome to see the strong values rooted in community and kindness that the owner (who is a yoga teacher on top of a crossfit coach) brings to the space on a daily basis. I can’t wait to see the gym grow & meet all the new people that com— I’ve already made so many new friends at the space. If you have your doubts about crossfit, just come and check it out, there’s something for everyone & the coaches make all the classes safe and inclusive. CFTP is 100% an asset to the community. It’s way more than just a gym!

Great coaches, great community, and great workouts! I had never tried CrossFit until this place opened, because I was so intimidated by it, but Kayla and Joe are such amazing coaches, so welcoming, nurturing, and attentive, that it's made the whole experience a million times more accessible for me. So much more than just a gym; walking through those doors always feels like being reunited with friends.
