This is one of the best CrossFit gyms in the greater Cincinnati area! Their staff and owner Alex Bookout are super friendly, helpful, and motivating. Even the customers were really friendly on first visit. I highly recommend this gym to anyone near blue ash looking for a great place to do CrossFit with like minded individuals!

I’ve been a member of HGSC since it first opened, and it’s honestly been one of the best parts of my life. The gym itself is always in top shape, clean, well-organized, and fully equipped, but what really keeps me coming back is Alex’s programming. It’s tough, intentional, and it works. I’ve seen major improvements not just physically, but mentally too.

HGSC has pushed me in the best ways. The workouts challenge you, but they’re also super rewarding. Over time, it’s helped me build strength, discipline, and confidence inside and outside the gym.

And the community? It's incredible. Everyone’s friendly, supportive, and genuinely wants to see each other grow. Whether you’re just starting out or have been training for years, this place feels like home.

If you’re thinking about joining, do it!!!!!!!!! You won’t regret it.

If you strive to become a better and stronger athlete + want an inviting & supportive community, this is your place. Alex’s programming is the best I’ve ever come across + all of the coaches are exceptional- they are knowledgeable, keep everyone safe & are the best cheerleaders. And to top it off, the gym is clean, offers plenty of room for larger classes/events & accommodates equipment (such as ropes and rings) for those looking to train skills. Definitely a gem!

If you were waiting for a sign to join a Crossfit gym... THIS IS IT!! honestly can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed into an amazing community. It’s the kind of place where people know your name and genuinely care about your progress, both inside and outside the gym.

The programming is spot-on—challenging but fun for all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned CrossFitter or a newbie, the coaches make sure you're getting the most out of every workout. You can tell the owners really put thought into the programming and are passionate about creating great experience for everyone. That sense of personal connection really sets this place apart from other gyms I’ve tried.

The facilities are top-notch as well. Plenty of space, well-maintained equipment, and always clean. It’s a great environment to push yourself and hit new PRs, but also to feel comfortable in no matter where you're at on your fitness journey.

All in all, if you’re looking for a CrossFit gym that has it all—great programming, a supportive community, owners who care, and amazing facilities—this is the place!

I can't say enough great things about HGSC! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a welcoming, supportive atmosphere that made me feel like part of the community right away. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to ensure proper form, safety, and scalability for all fitness levels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, they meet you where you are and push you to achieve your goals.

The programming is varied, challenging, and fun—no two workouts are ever the same. They focus on a mix of strength, conditioning, and skill development, which keeps it interesting and keeps you progressing. The facility itself is clean, well-equipped, and spacious, so you never feel cramped or rushed.

What really sets this gym apart is the community. The members are encouraging, supportive, and inspiring. It feels less like a gym and more like a family. Whether you're cheering someone on during a tough workout or celebrating milestones together, the camaraderie here is unmatched.

If you're looking for a place to challenge yourself, grow stronger, and connect with amazing people, I highly recommend HGSC. It's more than a workout—it's a lifestyle change!

Have never seen a more welcoming gym! Such an accepting community from day 1, on top of very knowledgeable and passionate coaches, along with owners who actually care about their business. Excellent programming just rounds out the reason to try out HGSC!

Joining HGSC in November was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made. Everything from equipment, programming, and coaches are all best in class. The members are so supportive and encouraging. Highly recommend HGSC to anyone that may be interested.

Ever since joining Homegrown, I’ve become the strongest and technically proficient than I’ve ever been. And it’s only been a little over a year now, with plenty of room to continue growing! For me, it’s Homegrown or nothing. You’ll never find a more comforting, challenging, and motivating community in Cincinnati than in Homegrown Strength and Conditioning.

It's easy to fall in love with this sport, but finding a good gym can make it or break it. HGSC makes you feel valued, respected, and a part of something bigger in this life. The coaches and members push you to be your best self, whether it's your first time trying CrossFit, you're a scaled athlete, or you're competing for the games. The community here is unlike anything I've experienced, and I'm beyond grateful for the people I get to interact with on a daily basis. The positivity and love that can be felt as soon as you walk in the doors is what has kept me coming back, day after day. It's not just a gym, it's a home.

HGSC is THE place to go if you want a community, laughs but able to find that competitive edge in you. The Programming is the best around and makes you focus on your weaknesses. The best place to push yourself to your limits and have fun doing it.

A very welcoming community and well-informed coaches that modify the workout to your needs. This modification has been really important for me throughout different personal stages since I started about 2 years ago; such as needing workout modification due to starting as a beginner, to then needing modifications due to pregnancy. I'll emphasize that you are still [reasonably] encouraged/pushed and get a great workout in to meet your needs - I even participated in the Crossfit open for the first time last year! This gym also shares a variety of events and opportunities throughout the year, whether at the same gym or within the community.

The husband and I were looking for a gym that fit our needs and this one checks all the boxes: convenient, community, strong programming, flexibility in member options, and kid friendly. We found it in HGSC.

Besides location in Blue Ash and a walk from our work to the HGSC, I was looking to get back to pre baby strength and the programming is exactly what you would need for a strength amplifier and/or just getting in to get your every day WOD. Every workout is challenging but scalable, so you’re always improving and reaching new goals.

From the moment we joined, HGSC has been so welcoming and everyone is so friendly. It's not just a gym, it’s a community that is truly so supportive of its members.

The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and always willing to provide modifications or extra help when needed. I generally take the 12pm and 530pm classes and shout out to Couch Joey for always have the right tweaks to fix my form.

As a parent, having a child playroom is a game changer! Our daughter hangs out and plays with all the supplied toys with some Bluey on tv while I get a workout in. (See play lounge pic)

Flexibility in gym memberships is a bonus as not every month can we do unlimited due to travel or work obligations so we have the options in membership. Love that!

If your looking for a quick pop in traveling or a permanent CrossFit gym that goes above and beyond to make fitness accessible and enjoyable, I highly recommend CrossFit HGSC!

Can’t recommend this gym enough. The coaching staff is top notch, the programming is very detailed and designed to train your weaknesses, and the community is extremely welcoming. There are a good mix of early morning and evening classes with an open gym at 330.
CrossFit can be intimidating, but everyone started somewhere, don’t let athletes who are in their prime intimidate you from getting in the best shape of your life. At HGSC everyone is cheering you on (in and out of the gym), we do our best to leave the egos at the door and get better together.

Newer and well maintained equipment. Most fun programming I’ve done, but also the most challenging. Coaches do well to help you find movements that work best for you. Good mix of skill levels and FANTASTIC community. Lots of community events and ways to get to spend time with people that share similar interests. Alex Bookout has a heart for CrossFit and it shows!

I love this gym with my whole heart. The name says it all- it provides safe and effective strength training and also programs Crossfit WODs. It is a clean facility with working bathrooms and showers (something I can’t say for all boxes I’ve been in). It has numerous class times to fit all schedulers. The community is super welcoming and we frequently have fun events and get togethers outside of the gym. Well behaved dog and kid friendly!

I came in with no prior knowledge of how to use a barbell at all, and a year later it was the best decision to stick around! Met some of my best friends and love the challenge and skills gained daily :) best community for all age groups and skill levels. FYI… We’re in this together, we’re all scaling what’s on the board ;)

HGSC has welcomed me with open arms and I’m so thrilled to have been introduced to such a warm and supportive community. I was hesitant to try it having had a poor experience with a CrossFit gym in the past, but I’m so glad I did. All the coaches are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind. They scale the work outs to be accessible to all while still being challenging. Everyone there wants you to succeed. I can’t wait to continue to grow, learn, and progress with HGSC!

Great CrossFit gym! I love that the owner and his wife (and even sometimes their toddler) are always there coaching and hanging out with the members. This gym has that tight-knit, everyone's family, welcoming vibe. If you are new to Crossfit or even a competitive Crossfiter, I would recommend this gym.

Now that we’ve been training here a few weeks I feel very confident giving a 5 star review. Alex took time to build a relationship with the athletes, which in turn gets much more output vs just telling them what to do.

One of the best gym and trainer in the area. I like the program and the approach of setting the WOD, it is very intelligently set and preformed. Additionally, all the attendees are all very nice people and most of them are professional athletes. I highly recommend this Gym.
Please note that the parking is like any usually parking at a shopping center. But it is definitely worth it.
