CrossFit Riot

I've been training with the Crossfit Riot coaches for almost three years now and it's been one of the best decisions I've made. Derek and his team of coaches care about each and every member and they push you to do the best you can do. Let's be honest - it's hard work but it's the hard work that pushes you to the limit and gets you the best results. In the past year alone, I've gained several pounds of muscle and who knows how much fat I've burned. I now carry myself in a completely different way - much more confident - more confident than I've ever been. This has affected every aspect of my life including work and sleep. I feel better than I ever have. Do yourself a favor check out Crossfit Riot - it will change your life for the better. more

After I graduated college I began looking for jobs in the health and fitness industry. My first job was at a well-known corporate gym. Many of its members were motivated to improve their health, but the majority of them did not know how. The gym was less concerned with teaching its members and more concerned with bringing in money. At CrossFit Riot, I feel that teaching its members how to improve their health and why it is so important is a priority. In fact, as you walk in the door, fitness is defined in 100 words on the wall in front of you. The coaching staff at Riot is laid back, but expects every one of its members to give it their all, and on those days that it is tough to, they motivate you to give that extra umph. In addition to the coaching staff, Riot has interns from Cal State Fullerton who must complete an in depth internship on methods of training as well as nutrition (this is uncommon with most of the gyms I have researched, but extremely beneficial). The best part of the gym is the energy that exists in "the box". The walls are painted with brightly colored murals, there is always awesome music playing, and the members are very friendly. Not only is it a great place to work out, it is also a great way to meet new people and make new friends. more

Being at Crossfit Riot has been beneficial for my health and my well being. knowing that i can accomplish every task at hand the trainers are very accurate in being their for you to help you accomplish your goal in what you want to have. more

I started coming to this Crossfit Gym when it first opened in May of 2011. Before I started working out here I used to go to 24 HR fitness. I felt when I was going to 24 Hr that I was lost because even though there was a ton of machines I didn't know what ones to use or what ones would benefit me. Also if you have ever been to one of these chains gyms you know there is a lot of D Bags that hang out there, lift heavy weights, and are constantly staring at themselves in the mirror. This can be pretty intimidating. So my buddy who had already been doing crossfit told me that his friend and trainer was opening his own gym and I should give it a try, I did and I have not stopped coming since. Coming here is the best decision I have ever made. Coming here is like having your own personal trainer. The classes are limited to 15 people and only last an hour. During each class there is 2 or more certified trainers helping everyone out and making sure that they are doing each movement properly. The owner programs new work outs for everyday of the week known in the crossfit world as the WOD (work out of the day). This is nice because you aren't coming to the gym and doing the same boring thing everyday. There are no machines at this gym except rowing ones. The different workouts keep your muscles confused and makes the workouts interesting and fun! The best part about coming here is that no one makes you feel out of place, they make you feel welcome and part of the family because thats what we are here! So if you wanna get in the best shape of your life and want to be around motivating people that will help you do it, then this is the place for you. more

This gym is amazing! I have been training at Riot for just 6 months and I already have my beach body! I have trimmed 15 lbs and toned up in all the right places. I was a little intimidated when I left 24hr fitness and started but once I came I never looked back! Thank You CrossFit Riot for giving me the body I've always dreamed of having! more

CrossFit Riot offers a very unique, fun and motivating environment. Their coaching staff is highly qualified, motivating, friendly and welcoming to people of any fitness level and ability. Every member welcomes you to their community and cheers you on through every workout. The facility is one of a kind with a fully outfitted state of the art training area and artwork and photography all over the walls to go along with it. This is truly an amazing place to workout. I would recommend Riot anyone wanting a change in their life, you may even forge some lifelong friendships. more

crossfit is a lifestyle! Crossfit Riot has helped me achive goals in 4 months I know I never would have achieved on my own. Riot is more than a "gym". It's a place I come to to get motivation and training second to none. Everyone here encourages you to get better at your own pace through safe lifting and positive motivation. They push you to get stronger, faster, and most of all healthier. I'm down approximately 35 lbs but they level of fitness I have achieved is what I focus on now. If your ready to run,jump,lift, and sweat look no more. Trust me when I say I found what I had been looking for and so can you! Thank you Riot! more

I've been a part of the CrossFit Riot family for about 7 months now, and I couldn't be happier. Derek, along with the rest of the CF Riot staff, are awesome coaches.The attention given to each student is unmatched. Even better, the classes are capped off 12 members, so this ensures that each member is getting what they want out of the gym. This place is definitely worth checking out. more
