My husband and I joined CrossFit Flood in February 2012. I couldn’t even do a full (air) squat that first intro class, but I knew I wanted to come back for more. The trainers were so encouraging and all those “crazy CrossFitters” were actually down to earth and just as encouraging as the trainers. I felt instantly supported and never once has someone rolled their eyes or chuckled at me when I have to scale my workouts. We cheer each other on to do our best and help each off the floor after a tough WOD. I was never a “strong” girl, but I know I am stronger now than I have ever been. And yes, even the girl that couldn’t do a squat, can now squat 100lbs!

Before I joined CrossFit Flood in the summer of 2012, I was a member of 24 Hour Fitness. All I cared about was lifting weights and getting bigger. When I first started CrossFit, I was afraid of getting weaker since many of the workouts are so cardio heavy. Not only did I get stronger, I also increased my cardiovascular endurance substantially.

I absolutely love the community that this gym has, the energy and the caring coaches. They're always there to support you and keep you motivated. I really appreciate that you can scale and modify workouts based on your fitness level and strength. The coaches are there to help you and ensure you don't injure yourself. CrossFit is a great investment on your physical and mental well being. Highly recommend 🙂

First time here today! Wow, what a gym. I'm used to other gyms but this one is specifically for CrossFit training. I am new on the journey and will continue to come here to get the results I've been looking for. After losing almost 80lbs. I'm not comfortable enough in my own skin to push further. Owner/ Coach Mike gave me a tour. Gave me knowledge and helped me feel at home here. I will be back in the next few weeks for the start of the New You Challenge (6 week program). I look forward to these results and eating the proper portions for me. Thank you for making me feel welcome !!!

This place is awesome!!! coaches are great and knowledgeable, work out is brutal but satisfying and the community is the best part. I never liked sport but I fell in love with CrossFit thanks to Mike and his team. I'm 36 years old and in the best shape of my life

I had the pleasure of dropping in with CrossFit Flood when visiting family and loved my experience with this community. Mike was very welcoming and all the coaches were extremely friendly and attentive. Shout out to Coach Taylor who after watching me workout one day, wouldn't allow me to slack the next! Great coaching! The facility is large and clean with great resources/equipment. The members are friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area and I plan to come back whenever I'm in town! Thank you CrossFit Flood!

I’ve been coming here for about 2.5 – 3 years now. The coaches are great, the programming is excellent, and the community is very close. CrossFit Flood will have many community events throughout the year such as the summer competition day within the gym called “Flood, Sweat, and Beers”, the annual Christmas party, and more. These events help the community grow even closer and help members meet each other who otherwise would never have met. The members who usually go to the 4pm class will get to meet members they may not have met because they go to the 6:30am class. No one has ever been judgmental against me. Quite the opposite in fact, this gym is nothing but encouraging. I once finished a workout that took me much longer than everyone else, and everyone stuck around and encouraged me until I finished.

Dropped in this last week when I was in town on travel. Walked through the door and was immediately approached by coach Mike. He asked about my background and gave me a quick rundown of the gym. I wasn’t able to make the CrossFit class but was able to join their Oly lifting class which was a huge help for me as I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like to on it. Really helpful coach and welcoming athletes. Excited to drop in again next time in town.

Sometimes all we need is an extra push, and coaches Brian and Mike are always there to make sure we are reaching our potential. They push us beyond our physical and mental comfort zones to show us what we are truly capable of. They have been phenomenal in their efforts to make us better everyday. I have met so many great people that keep me going, and Brian and Mike–as well as the rest of the community–are the most motivating factor for me. I am happy to call CrossFit Flood my family! 🙂

Angie Abdallah

Since joining CrossFit, I’ve reached a level of fitness I didn’t know I had in me, and I’m NEVER bored. Although I’m not a competitive person, the group atmosphere still motivates me, because I’m with people I respect and enjoy. The encouragement and camaraderie of CrossFit Flood and the CrossFit community as a whole are amazing. I’ll never go back to a traditional gym!

Rachael Anderson

Mike and Brian are great guys who are running a fantastic gym. I dropped in at CF Flood for the first time about 2 years ago and Brian welcomed me in open arms. I came back yesterday (Feb 2015) and Mike greeted me as if I was a regular and made me feel right at home... I’ve been to a number of boxes around the US and in Europe during my travels and I have to say that Flood is the friendliest and most professional of all the boxes I’ve dropped in on. I’d highly recommend joining CF Flood and being part of the fantastic workouts and great community Mike and Brian have put together. I look forward to my next visit to San Diego and dropping in on a class again.

This is an awesome gym! I have been going here for about a month now. All the coaches have been very welcoming and helpful. I was nervous to start Crossfit but I am glad I did! Every day is challenging and motivating. Take advantage of the free trial week and you will love it! Mike and Brian are awesome guys!

Bianca P.

Since joining Crossfit Flood I have lost fat and gained muscle, but more importantly I have gained CONFIDENCE. My body and strength has changed more drastically in one year by coming to this gym than in 5 years of going to 24 Fitness and doing the same workout every other day.

I recently came back to CrossFit Flood after a little absence over a year and a half maybe. Coach Mike is awesome; he's also the owner. We have new coaches that are awesome - they encourage me and push me to get the best out of my workouts. I had gained a few pounds, and have been back for a month and have lost weight already. The box has also gone thru renovations; we have new equipment and a larger space - 5,000 square feet. It's not only a CrossFit but a strong community of individuals there for many reasons. CrossFit Flood is definitely worth every penny. You might think you're paying a lot, but not really, the benefits of being fit and happy have no price. Plus the things I'm learning, translates into my life. Where I'm like it's okay, little by little I'll get there. Just like anything, it takes time and hard work. CrossFit Flood will help you get to where you want to be and you'll have coaches pushing you to your limits and they will cheer you on and encourage you, EACH step of the way!

Crossfit Flood’s trainers/owners, Mike and Brian, are awesome. They are concerned with your form throughout everything, which you hear a lot about when listening to people rag on Crossfit. They push you to your limits without screaming at you like maniacs. At Flood you find the true spirit of Crossfit. The trainers and the members cheer each other on; whether in competition with one another or just on the sideline everyone just wants the people working out to feel better and be better than they were the day before. Whether you’re setting a goal to lose weight, to get stronger, or to become more generally healthy and fit, Brian and Mike are there for you and will help you reach your goals.

It was the first time I was able to work out and give 100% while not feeling weird for making grunting noises, or have to apologize for leaving a trail of sweat behind me. It was great to compete against the others in my class and engage in camaraderie as a result of the extremely difficult workout we endured together. My hands were getting torn apart, my shins scraped up, and I was sore in places that I didn’t know muscles existed – and I loved every minute of it. Listen to me, I sound like a beast. Well I assure you I’m not, but I definitely feel like one after completing a WOD.

Thomas O’Hara

This cf box still has the feel of cf gyms from 6+ years ago... What you do have is a close knit group of trainers and members that make for a great experience. Lots of support and knowledge floating around here. Their pricing is more in line with reality than other boxes in the area. But here’s their best attribute, in my opinion. The programming! It is done logically. It makes sense. It’s exactly what I expect from a cf gym and that is, overall fitness. This gym deserves the positive reviews it’s receiving. Keep up the good work!

Chris N.

Great atmosphere; super nice people; coaching rocks! Started going there late last year. I'm not the most physically adept guy on earth, and the coaches there were and are super helpful. Love attending Flood!

John C.

What an amazing group of people! Not only did they win me over with the community they've created but the programming they have is pretty legit. If you're looking for a place to drop in at or even call your home, this is where you should go! I can't wait to visit the area again so I can WOD with everyone again! Until next time guys & gals!

Stevie D.

I love this place! I wrote a review on their FB page but I'll just reiterate how I love this CrossFit community. The coaches are excellent and the programming is a beast and a killer but it kicks my butt and i love it. Everyone always encourages me despite me being the slowest in the class. Just a great positive community and I'm glad I found this box. Coach Mike and Jared are awesome!

Ryan B.

I dropped in for a Saturday class and was impressed with culture and the workout. Coach Mike was super friendly and knowledgable and everyone I met was super nice as well. Loved that my older kids could stay in their waiting room and play while I worked out. We stayed and let the kids do the kids class. They loved it! Came back Sunday for another class for them. We'll definitely be coming back. Also, they have a military discount on top of their already awesome prices. Kid friendly, great work out, great people, great prices. What more could you want from a gym?

D. A.

The Coaches and owners are very good people who really stress the importance of proper form over how much weight you can lift. Over time you will be doing more than you ever though possible pushing yourself to reach the next level. My favorite part of this gym is the sense of community and great friendships. With lots of events(Flood, Sweat, Beers) it is easy to feel part of a team every time you go. It doesn’t matter if you are a Beast in the gym or have never lifted anything in your life I have never felt judged or put down here. This is a great gym and more than that an amazing community.

Matt Martenson

I have been part of the CrossFit Flood family since March of 2010. When I first started CrossFit I was nervous and out of shape. I knew the stigma about CrossFit and was not sure I was ready for this type of intensity. What I found was a community open to every ability level. The encouragement to give each workout my best yet work at my own ability has been incredible. I now have great friends who I look forward to seeing each week. I know they will be both encouraging and push me to do the best I can. CrossFit Flood is the only gym I have ever found with this type of community.

Jeremy Hamm

I will never be able to express just how grateful I am to be part of the Flood Family. From the day I went in to try out a class I felt right at home and knew I was where I needed to be. The owners and trainers are dedicated to being the best they can for their members, all the while giving you the friendship and motivation that I believe is integral for a CrossFit Box.
