Welcome To The Travelling Crossfitter
This Blog will help you Find great Crossfit boxes to visit on your Travels
NorCal CrossFit
Summary:
If anyone is going to open a successful box, it’s going to be Jason Khalipa, winner of the 2008 CrossFit games, and currently number one in the NorCal region going into this year’s Games. But this box isn’t meant to intimidate people. In fact, the website states, “If you think CrossFit is too intense and not for you, please come in and give it a try. All of our workouts can be scaled for any individual.”
The San Jose location has a ton of floor space, a separate room for intro classes, two pull-up structures, boxes, dumbbells, kettlebells, and a separate room for the Olympic Lifting Club. There’s also a jujitsu area. “I love the fact that everyone walks in the door ready to get better and work hard,” says Khalipa. “Finding a lazy person—in CrossFit or at NorCal CrossFit—won't happen.”

CrossFit Eminence
Summary: This 6,000 square-foot box features two bathrooms with one shower, a kids area, a 500 square-foot area for stretching, foam rolling, or relaxing before or after a WOD, and an outdoor space with a great view of downtown Denver. They offer multiple programs including CrossFit Kids, Barbell Club, Mobility, and Sweat Angels, a new program just for women. “I am in love with this class and I have lost 40 pounds to date while being enrolled,” says one member. “The social aspect and encouraging atmosphere fomented by the coaches makes me feel comfortable enough to discuss nutrition and issues that I have with my workouts.”

Lady Lake Crossfit
Summary: It began as a wellness center that had a box and yoga, until the owners quickly realized that the demand in the area was really for the sport of CrossFit. They decided to just transform the space into a 2,600 square-foot box, serving everyone from 16 year-old local football players to 72-year old FBI agents. “Our box may not be flashy and huge with a gazillion bucks put into it, and it may not be in a big city, but we sure do have heart,” says owner Bryan Baker. “People that drop in from across the country when visiting always tell us that we give them a tip or a memory to take home with their WOD.”

Rocky Lake CrossFit takes a stripped down, bare bones approach to fitness where aesthetics are not the end goal, they are simply by-products of the process.

Julianna - The box and cafe was awesome! We enjoyed today's WOD and some almond buttered tea. My cousin, her husband and I purchased t-shirts so that we could participate in a class. We came from Arizona and Ohio for the weekend.
Scott - Best coffee in Toronto!! $5 for the butter coffee - can't be beat . This place is super cool. In the summer the doors are wide open and you can get everything from clothing to coffee. Every time I am in this part of town, I will always stop in and grab a cup butter coffee! It cannot be beat. Seriously.
B.D - Dropped in from out of town. Instructors and staff were knowledgeable and cared about their box/business. Place was large and clean. If you live close and are looking for a one stop fitness place, then this would definitely be a great place to go.
If you are a crossfitter from out of town, know that this place is not your typical crossfit box. This facility has chosen to provide crossfit training, but does so in their own style and own way of doing things (from their level program to class structures to gym organization). While the staff were quite friendly, I got the impression that they had a very particular way of doing things that they expected you to follow, so if your box back home is a bit more rough around the edges and a little more into Crossfit as a sport and crossfit as publicized by HQ, then know that this box may not quite jive with that.
Actual WOD area (for doing lifting WODs) is quite small. No showers.
Kathy - I love when crossfit boxes have a tshirt drop in deal! Buying an item of merchandise will cover your drop in at Academy of Lions which is awesome but I wished they had more sizes available when I dropped in a few weeks ago. I mean..is a Mens Medium that hard to stock? this place is really cool though as they have a whole paleo cafe set up and two floors of crossfit awesomeness. Will definitely be back.
