At 62yo, and the death of my sister and father I fell into a deep depression. Slowly, due to a very sedentary lifestyle, I became overweight and depressed.I was paying for a gym membership that I never used, wouldn't look at myself in the mirror, and just existed.One morning scrolling through Facebook I saw an ad for Tier 1 cross-fit. I clicked asking for information, and immediately Justin called me.I explained to him my story and knew of the benefits of this kind workoutsI decided to take the plunge, the first few sessions I became discouraged. I told one of the coaches, (Ashley) about how intimidated I was feeling.Her words inspired me and every workout can be modified to your level.A month in and I'm feeling better, emotionally, physically and mentally. This was the best thing I've done for myself in a long time.I feel a sense of accountability when I sign in for a class.My favorite part is at the end of the class getting fist bumps from everyone.I'm so glad I did this.The old saying"I'd rather be the oldest guy in the gym, then the youngest guy in the nursing home "

Best decision I had this year was starting my crossfit journey at CrossFit Tier 1💙 As a newbie, I know I can meet my fitness goals here because the coaches meet you where you are at and encourages you to push yourself with proper guidance. The community is so welcoming and encouraging🫶 I love going to each class and always look forward to the next. PS. Coach Justin is a top tier coach and human being 💯

Love, love, love this gym! I cannot say enough good things about the community and coaching here. Everyone is so focused on helping you achieve your goals and safely progress your functional strength training. I would not be where I am after having a baby without them! Truly life changing, here is my story for anyone interested in reading:My journey with CrossFit Tier 1 began during my pregnancy with my son. I was struggling with modifying my workouts to meet the needs of my pregnancy, and the staff at Tier 1 helped me tremendously. I was able to consistently attend classes throughout my entire pregnancy with the help of Justin and the rest of the staff scaling my workouts. I ended up having a C-section delivery and the recovery from that was tough! I leaned on the knowledge and expertise of the entire CFT1 staff to help modify my workouts and focus on technique to get me back to moving optimally. Now I can lift heavier and do so many movements I never thought would be possible without ANY pain. I truly would not be doing as well as I am without the amazing staff here. I can run and chase after my 3 year old without any problems, and can push myself during workouts better than ever.My relationship with the CFT1 staff has also impacted my professional life. As a physical therapist, I have learned so much about optimal movement mechanics and injury prevention/recovery from my time at CFT1. Justin and the rest of the staff have taught me so much about analyzing technique and scaling appropriately to improve form. This has been critical in my ability to better serve higher level athletes and assist them with injury management and prevention while still being able to participate in the exercise that they love to do! I have always been passionate about keeping my clients active and involved in any form of exercise they love. Too often, we see healthcare professionals trying to discourage people from participating in CrossFit because it is "dangerous". Working with the staff here and learning about movement mechanics has allowed me to improve my clients' technique and keep them active in the sport that they love as well as preventing them from injuries. I am a better physical therapist overall just from being around the CrossFit Tier 1 staff and learning from them. I am thrilled to be able to partner with them and offer CrossFit services to my current clients as well as assisting CFT1 members with injury prevention and recovery.

11/10, Justin and the rest of the coaches strive to help you be a better version of yourself. I couldn’t recommend this gym enough!

CrossFit Tier 1 is a great gym with a truly supportive atmosphere. The coaching staff is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping every athlete improve, no matter their level. My teens and I started coming to the gym at the same time and have loved working out together. I appreciate that classes run all day long making it easy to stay consistent with busy schedules. I highly recommend CrossFit Tier 1 if you are looking for a new gym.

I’ve really enjoyed working out and joining the CrossFit Tier 1 gym. From the coaches to the members everyone is down to earth and just trying to help each other get better. I wound recommend going to CrossFit Tier 1 to anyone.

We’ve had a great experience at CrossFit Tier 1. The gym itself is huge, so workouts never feel crowded. The atmosphere is family-friendly and welcoming, and you can tell there’s a strong team mindset that keeps everyone motivated. The coaches are awesome too—very knowledgeable and great at adapting workouts to fit all skill levels, whether you’re brand new, experienced, or, in my wife’s case, pregnant. Definitely a great place to train!

Crossfit Tier 1 does an incredible job. The facility itself is outstanding—huge space, tons of equipment, and everything is structured well, so workouts never feel crowded or limited.As an Exercise Science major who worked in the fitness industry for years, I really appreciate the smart programming that is present at Tier 1. There is a clear understanding of exercise stimulus, progression, recovery, and long-term development—not just random hard workouts. That level of thoughtfulness is not something you will see in every gym.The workouts are always fun and challenging. The community is another huge plus. I work from home, so going to the gym for the workout and seeing everyone is always a highlight of my day. The gym’s culture is welcoming, supportive and motivating.Another great thing about the gym and the service it provides to the community is that it serves people at every stage. I’ve been a competitive athlete most of my life, while my wife started fitness later and is less seasoned. Still, both of us get are able to get a lot out the workouts, and constantly improve. The intelligent coaching and scaling options make it work for everyone.Highly recommend CrossFit Tier1 to anyone looking to getting fitter in a great environment.

Tier1 is more than a gym. It is a community of like minded people focused on pushing their bodies to do awesome things! The coaches are great at explaining the workouts and will gladly help you with individual exercises. If you like lifting, gymnastics moves, or just a good, hard workout this is the place for you. All levels and experiences accepted and welcomed!

I’ve had an amazing experience at CrossFit Tier 1. It is a true community- full of support, encouragement, and people who genuinely want to see you succeed. Justin and the other coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help you grow, no matter your fitness level. I’m so grateful to be a part of this community.

My daughter (12 years old) and I have been at Tier 1 now for 3 years. It is the largest facility around with the widest array of equipment. The hybrid access allows us to attend classes or come in at unconventional times to workout as a family. As someone with unconventional work hours, the ability to come workout at random times is the biggest part of keeping me active. The partner wods on Tuesdays give my daughter and I time together that we can look forward to. We are always greeted with smiles and warm hello’s and always feel welcome. Programming is comprehensive and coaches are attentive. We are happy to be a part of this fit group!

CrossFit Tier 1 is more than a gym, it’s a true community. From day one, you feel welcomed and supported, no matter your fitness level. The culture here is built on encouragement, accountability, and mutual respect, and that’s what makes it special. The relationships you build don’t stop at the whiteboard or the workout; they last well beyond the gym walls.The coaches are top-notch. They’re knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you move better, get stronger, and stay healthy for the long run. They care about doing things the right way, good mechanics, smart progressions, and consistent habits with not shortcuts.The 24-hour access is a game-changer. Life gets busy, and having the freedom to train on your schedule makes staying consistent realistic, not stressful.If you’re looking for a place that values hard work, community, and long-term growth, not just quick results CrossFit Tier 1 delivers. This is the kind of gym people stay at for years, and for good reason.

Here at CrossFit Tier 1, Justin and his staff are truly top-notch. This is a great gym with even better people. The community is incredibly supportive, both inside and outside the gym, and it really makes a difference. The coaches meet you where you’re at and work with you at whatever level you’re at, which is huge as you get older. The workouts have been beneficial in so many aspects of my life, and I always feel encouraged rather than overwhelmed. Anyone can try it, anyone can do it, and it’s definitely worth it.

I started Tier 1 my freshman year of college and I remember being so nervous to start and not knowing anyone. Everyone was so welcoming, positive, and uplifting my first day there and I that day I knew I would be there for a longtime. Tier 1 became my second home during my 4 years at ECU and I’m so thankful to have had that experience and meet the people I did! After graduating and moving home, I can still drop into Tier 1 and feel right at home. If you are looking for a new gym but nervous to start, Tier 1 is your place!
