Let me put y’all on to friendship fitness! I joined a few months ago just wanting to gain strength and find a healthy outlet for daily stress. When I tell you this place has been life changing for me. I couldn’t imagine ever going anywhere else. The coaches take their time to really get to know you, I’ve observed the coaches tailor their communication and accommodate mobility concerns without making you feel “different”. The coaches are very engaged and keep everyone safe. I’ve even made friends and connections with fellow members! Everyone is so encouraging. The vibe is truly unmatched! I mean, I actually look forward to waking up early for the 6:30 am class, and walking into such a positive environment! I leave each workout feeling accomplished and ready for the day. If you’re looking for a gym, I cannot recommend Friendship enough. Do yourself a favor and cut out all the guessing and work with them to meet your fitness goals! Less

I joined Friendship a couple months ago and I am so glad that I did! I've been doing crossfit for about 6 years so I was definitely looking for intense strength and endurance training. This place surpassed my expectations by a mile! The programming is some of the best that I've experienced and the coaches are AWESOME. Each coach has a level of expertise that make me feel safe, seen, and supported! The smile on my face when I finish a class.. yeah, partly because it's over!, but it's such a feeling of accomplishment and true knowing that I'm doing something amazing for myself by showing up and following the program. Can't recommend this place enough! Less

I recently joined Friendship and I couldn’t be happier! The workouts are fantastic and cater to all fitness levels, making it an inclusive and welcoming environment. The people here are incredibly friendly and supportive, which makes every class really enjoyable. They also offer a nutrition program because at the end of the day- you can’t out train a poor diet! Coach Andy is awesome and helps you set realistic and effective nutritional goals that fit into your lifestyle and are actually sustainable long-term. I’ve already noticed I’m feeling stronger and more energized, and I look forward to each class! All the coaches are exceptional at ensuring proper form and preventing injuries, which is a big plus for me. Having tried Orange Theory, Club Pilates, and being a member at Lifetime for years, I can confidently say Friendship is my favorite workout and community. Highly recommend! Less

I've been a member for a little over a year at Friendship! The name fits perfectly, as I have built several friendships during my time here! Two years ago, I herniated a disk in my lower back and struggled to bend over and pick up something off the floor. I learned from my trainer, Liz, that I needed to build my core muscles to support my back. Now, I can squat heavy weights, toss sandbags, push weighted sleds, etc. I also highly recommend the nutritional coaching! From Andy, I learned how important protein is to recover after a workout. Moreover, you don't need to eat a salad every meal or completely change your meals to become lean and fit! Less

I am heavy set and was initially apprehensive about joining Friendship Fitness, but from the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and encouragement. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my goals were understood and accommodated. They took the time to onboard me properly before joining a class, making sure I felt comfortable and confident. Their inclusivity and support have been instrumental in my fitness journey. I highly recommend Friendship Fitness to anyone, regardless of where they are on their fitness path. Less

I just joined this training facility, and hands down it is the BEST PLACE that I've ever belonged.Great coaching staff-they are on top of their game every single day! Always there to motivate you, correct your form and provide a feedback.Great culture of fitness minded community. Everyone is so nice and kind and supportive. I look forward to accomplish my health and fitness goals here. You should definitely give it a try, you will not regret it, I promise! Less

I joined Friendship a couple months ago and am thrilled that I did. I remember when I started both thinking and telling the coaches that I expected to take a few classes a week. After about a week in, those “few” classes often turned into more each week because of the environment, support from both coaches and peers, and simply how I started to feel. As someone new to the gym I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’ve been blown away by the culture created by the coaches and other members. The coaches all take an interest in getting to know you and truly care about seeing your progress, and the other members will welcome you, support you, and make you feel included immediately no matter where you are on your fitness journey. I highly recommend checking out Friendship Fitness. You will be glad you did. Less

I just recently started my fitness journey at Friendship Fitness and cannot express my thankfulness enough that I found this gym. I came to Friendship with the goal to change my perspective of working out, as I have never been someone who was physically fit and would shy away from working out around a lot of people. I also wanted to gain confidence in myself and just be fit to live a long and physical life. Friendship has already improved all of these categories and I am only a month in! I recommend this gym to the most fit athlete to the beginner as there is all levels and the coaching staff is well trained to help and assist all walks of fitness. It's a fun workout and you will see results as you stick to the plan and keep showing up! Less

Love this gym! I have been a runner for many years and knew I should be strength training but didn’t know where to begin. I’ve heard great things about Friendship so I joined. It’s been life-changing. The coaches spend A LOT of time one on one with you assessing your form, your goals, and show you what to expect before throwing you into classes. I have back issues and all of the coaches were made aware of my limitations to ensure I don’t injure myself. I was really intimidated to start but the friendly and welcoming atmosphere makes me feel like I belong. Being new to lifting heavy weights, there are many accommodations offered to help improve my strength. It’s awesome to have a dietitian and physical therapist in the same gym so everyone works together to help you achieve your result. Highly recommend! Less

I'm new to Friendship Fitness, and I'm already a raving fan! The coaches are pros, super motivating, and hands-on when it comes to showing you proper form. The programming is very impressive, focusing on athletic moves that give your whole body a major boost. The place is always well-lit and spotless, with plenty of space for big classes. And the members? They're awesome! All ages and abilities, from older weekend warriors to the most athletic youngsters, are here to support and cheer you on. If you want to up your fitness game and boost your health, check out Friendship Fitness. You won't be disappointed! Trust me, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an incredible fitness experience. I've been seeing excellent results since I started and am thrilled I found Friendship Fitness! Less

I was beyond impressed with how welcoming not only the staff but all of the members were at Friendship. They are truly a community dedicated to helping everyone reach their own individual goals by providing tailored resources and support along the way. The programming for both Build and Thrive are very well thought out. I would highly recommend checking them out whether you are a beginner or advanced athlete. Less

I was getting burned out on my normal gym routine, so I started going to Friendship a couple of months ago. I was a little unsure if I'd even be able to do the workouts, but right from the start everyone there was welcoming and encouraging. It's OK that I wasn't a crossfit master (yet) - there are people of all ages, sizes and abilities here. The workouts are challenging, but also adaptable to your ability level, and it's really nice to be able to just come in and work without having to think about what to do that day, what program to follow, etc. I can't say enough about the awesome coaches here too. They all provide feedback to make sure I'm doing things the right way, and encourage me and everyone else to do our best. I highly recommend Friendship to anyone looking to better themselves, regardless of if you're a veteran lifter or have never been to a gym before. Less

I've been a member at Friendship Fitness for a little over a month, and it's been nothing short of fantastic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sense of community and friendly competition at Friendship Fitness is truly remarkable. I've never felt more motivated to stay committed to my fitness journey. The coaches are exceptional, and their dedication to helping us achieve our goals is evident in every class. What makes this place truly special is the amazing group of members are from all different levels of “skill” but everyone shares the same passion for fitness. It's a joy to get up and head to class each morning, knowing that I'll be surrounded by supportive and like-minded individuals. If you're looking for a fitness center that combines motivation, camaraderie, and outstanding coaches, Friendship Fitness is the place to be! Less

Recently moved to Columbus and was looking for gym, wanted to try out CrossFit and I visited couple of gyms but I decided to go to Friendship fitness, I really liked the atmosphere and energy of the gym and Professional and friendly staff. they have program for beginner and I had personal training session with amazing instructor, I been training for almost a month now, really enjoying it. It is very nice to train with others, you will be more motivated than training alone and the most important there is professional instructor to make sure you are doing the right thing, I hit gym 515 in the morning for one hour and I love it, I hope whoever looking for gym in area definitely advise just come and have look you will see, action speaks louder than word! Less

I took a leap of faith that Friendship Fitness would be a good match for me, be able to help me with weight loss and muscle/strength gain goals in my 50’s so I can continue to be active in pickleball, golfing, softball etc. With no prior gym experience, the scariest part was just wondering in by appointment the first time. I found the staff to be extremely helpful explaining and showing techniques for each strength training and build classes activity. In addition, I chose the nutritionist/dietician add on and it’s also been very helpful to me. I am learning faster than I anticipated how to better comprehend and manage daily carbs, protein and more nutritious fats. I am thankful for Friendship Fitness. It is very conveniently located near Sawmill Rd & 161, easy access, great location. Less

I have really appreciated the strong onboarding program and supportive atmosphere at Friendship Fitness. They offer 1 on 1 training sessions, group classes, and nutrition coaching. Every trainer I've worked with has been extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The workouts find that perfect balance of being challenging enough to feel like you're getting stronger while also being fun to do. I plan on continuing with Friendship for the foreseeable future. Would highly recommend! Less

Friendship is a great gym for beginners. The coaches genuinely care about each person's progress and safety by providing guidance and encouragement in each workout. The welcoming atmosphere gives a sense of community which makes you feel supported and motivated! The various scaled workouts really helped me feel included instead of being intimidated. Friendship is an excellent choice for beginners seeking a caring and inclusive place to workout! Less

Friendship Fitness is true to its name - they welcome you as a friend from Day 1. Every staff member takes an interest in you and your goals. Everyone is very knowledgeable about fitness and wants to see you succeed. The onboarding process was crucial for me as it helped me to get comfortable with the equipment and give me an opportunity to ask all the questions. :) Friendship Fitness is one big family and they welcome new members with open arms. Less

After couple of years of having a solid routine and a good gym back in Georgia, Moving to Ohio took my health back few steps back, after trying the big gym names out there, decided to look for other options, Friendship & Fitness took care of me, they are great gym to push you thru at all levels, whether you are new to the Strength and Conditioning world or you are an all time Cross Fit Champion. This is your crew!. If you are looking for a great environment, healthy mindsets, solid guidance and experience and like minded fellows that are looking to be, stay and improve fitness and health, look no more! Less

I’ve been a member at Friendship Fitness for about a month now. The training staff spends quality time with each member and gives quality feedback to help you get the most out of the workouts. If you need modifications for any reason they are quick to adapt and offer alternate exercises. The members are also very welcoming. The workouts change frequently so you are sure to get a well rounded workout and never get bored. I am so glad I joined. Less

Loving the atmosphere at Friendship! I joined after being a member at another CF-gym near campus and so glad I did. The atmosphere is dynamite! The programming is well thought out and offers a tons of variance for all skill levels. I also don’t feel like I’m being hammered into a pulp each workout - the team is really thoughtful about looking at the programming as a linear process and setting the members up for healthy, safe movements that will pay dividends years from now. 10/10 - come check it out! Less

My husband and I joined Friendship together a few months ago on a complete whim—honestly it was such a great decision for us. I’m a serial gym joiner and quitter, but I have to credit Friendship’s coaching for our success. Obviously I could make a huge recommendation for physical fitness, we feel better, my mental health has improved, etc, but Friendship stands out from any other gyms or programs because of how much support you receive from the coaches and other gym members. The members are diverse fitness levels, ages, and actually there are as many women as men. This atmosphere has kept us consistently going and committed to continuing this journey. I think that says so much about the gym and the professionalism of the staff. The coaches are truly top notch. Less

Such an awesome community and culture at Friendship Fitness! Every instructor brings a ton of knowledge, expertise and personality to the classes. They live up to their name! Super friendly, and the workouts are incredible! I’ve been through many different gym experiences in the past 10 years or so, and it’s easy to say, this is the best I’ve ever been to! I’ll be working out here for years to come Less

Looking forward to joining group classes this week. Feeling very prepared after doing a month of personal training to ensure I understand what I am doing and my firm is safe. Love that they have trainers of all sizes, not just skinny and/or muscle bound, but fit, friendly and uplifting. While I am nervous about my first group class, they have assured me that they will be pairing me up with someone of similar abilities. Truly feel welcome and set up for success. Less

Thank you Friendship Fitness…I have found my gym! For years I’ve been looking for the “right” place and thought I would never find it. The name Friendship couldn’t be better. This is truly a community. I have only been here a few weeks and it’s been great. Sometime it’s just the little things… every trainer knows my name, the other member have been super welcoming and the workouts were exactly what I was looking for!!! You need to check it out. 👍🏻 Less

I'd like to thank the entire team at Friendship Fitness for making me feel so welcome! I'm in the beginning of my 90 day program and I have to give a special shout out to Coach Andy for setting me up with the foundations of crossfit and encouraging me every step of the way! I can already feel a difference in my energy, mood, and strength. If you're hungry for a change and want an excellent support system to help you get after those goals, this is the gym for you! Less

I have only been going to Friendship Fitness for 6 weeks and I must say, it's everything I never knew I needed from a gym!! As a beginner, the one on one coaching to introduce movements and workouts that I have never even dreamed of completing before and the knowledge regarding scaling has been so integral in promoting a successful foundation here. The coaches are so supportive, genuine and really care about individual goals and safety. The group workouts have been absolutely life changing for me. They provide accountability, a sense of camaraderie, so much knowledge and support for beginners like me and clearly all the way through the advanced people I have the opportunity to observe and learn from during classes. There is no fear of not fitting in here no matter your fitness level, because everyone is so helpful and informative and the coaches offer different modifications to promote success in completing every movement in some way no matter your experience and ability to truly promote progress. At 6 weeks, I'm already seeing results with the workouts and nutrition coaching and I have never been so happy to show up to a workout! Love it here! Less

Friendship Fitness is a wonderful community of fitness-minded people. Being new to the gym, we did not know what to expect but the staff has been extremely helpful and accommodating. And they have built a positive, respectful, and welcoming environment. It feels as though each member strives for the success of their colleagues. There are no high pressure sales and there are classes to fit all levels. Our teenage daughter really enjoys the youth group, too. I highly recommend Friendship! Less

First thing that needs mentioned is the attitude of the staff. Very positive and very encouraging. The experience level across the board is also very evident. So that all helps with first impressions and the sign on experience. I signed on and decided to take advantage of a few of the one on one sessions. This was a good call. Shelby is supremely knowledgeable and can explain things in ways that you will understand regardless of your own experience level. After a few sessions of her showing me the ropes, I was ready for classes. So that was cool. I started with Build Classes. Which are tough. But not in a bad way. Tough in the way you want them to be. You do what you come to the gym to do. Work. Sweat. Work some more and be encouraged. There are a number of ways the instructors have worked with me to help me get the most out of my time there. Modifications. Sound instructions and demos. Slight tweaks to fit my ability. The work outs are adaptable. That's another thing. Encouragement. You will receive this from everyone. This is not a gym with treadmills and machines everywhere. It's a bit more stripped down and elemental. That does not mean simpler or easy. Stop in. Check it out. Less

I was very hesitant to join any gym at first, especially since I am not as big on lifting as some other people can be. This place has been so inviting and supportive of everything any of us do here. There is always a modification so even those who may not be able to lift as heavy or are still working their way up to being able to perform the exercise (like myself) are able to still get the workout done. Every time I come in, everyone has a smile on their face and and I always walk out feeling great regardless of the day I have had. Less

The atmosphere of this gym is so welcoming! The coaches walk you through everything and are always motivating you to do better. Before coming to friendship fitness, I didn’t really know many weightlifting exercises. However, after about a month and a half in, I feel a lot more confident in myself and stronger! After every workout, you hear “great job today!” which keeps me coming back. If you’re even a little bit hesitant of joining, just do it! I promise you won’t regret it. Less

FF is a great community gym with a broad demographic of members. Teenagers to CrossFit men and women in their twenties and thirties, to Gen Xers such as myself. I joined specifically looking for a community of people I could connect with on my weight loss journey, and I am surprised at how quickly I have gotten to know other members. It's been awesome. The staff, who are all certified trainers, are super knowledgeable and beyond friendly. During class they know how and when to further challenge those athletes who can take it, and they also help those (such as myself) scale down and modify a movement when needed. Safety is important to them, and they are keen to protect and work around any injuries I might be struggling with. The biggest gain for me is the comradery. At first it was intimidating to have class members clap and cheer me on. I didn't care for the attention because I was so new and on a learning curve. But now that I've been there a while not only do I appreciate it, I participate in encouraging those around me. Again, it's awesome. Highly recommend it. Less

My partner and I have been coming to Friendship for about a month now and we absolutely love it! Even though we are at pretty different levels/abilities with our fitness, we really enjoy taking classes together because the coaches are great at offering scaled versions of the workout to meet you where you are in your journey. Everyone you meet here is really encouraging and friendly. The one on one training sessions that get you started were great to learn the basics, understand correct form, and ask questions. I knew that I needed accountability if I wanted to stick with a fitness plan, and I’ve found that here. The coaches know you by name and are really invested in making sure you’re doing everything safely while pushing you. If you’re looking for a welcoming, community-focused environment, this is it! Less

I have been going to Friendship a little over a month and so far I love it. I had never done any type of structured fitness and opted to start with personal training and nutrition counselling to get me started on the right track. The personal training really helped me gain confidence in the movements as well as get a feel for what the gym was like. The nutrition portion broke things down in an easy to understand way that was more about telling me what I should look for when I am eating rather than focusing on things I need to cut out. The group classes have also been great the coaches often come by and give active feedback on my form and help me adjust the workout if it is a little too hard for me. All in all I highly recommend Friendship to anyone that is starting out on their fitness journey for the first time or people that just want a welcoming environment to get some intense but fun workouts in. Less

Whether you’re new to working out, a seasoned veteran, or returning after a few years off… Friendship is the perfect place to get at it. The coaches care about more than just barbells and pull-ups - they want to see you reach your goals and be safe doing it. If you’re uncomfortable walking into a gym- I promise you that you will NOT feel that way walking into Friendship. For me I had just moved to Columbus and had no friends, family, or coworkers within 100 miles. It only took a few weeks and I had already found a new family at Friendship! Not to mention, the results are FANTASTIC! Less

I just recently joined Friendship and so far am having a great experience. The communication and connection with a specific coach has been phenomenal! I feel like there is someone available to address any concerns or issues if I need it. The classes are really fun and I’ve met such great people! The coaches are really nice and are very available during class to help you adjust anything or learn a new skill. I would definitely recommend this gym! Less

I love everything about Friendship. The coaches are incredibly personable- even after a month, they know so much about you, what you’re capable of, and can help push you to your limits to grow. They are insanely friendly but still get in coach mode during the workouts. And they are constantly making sure you’re doing each workout correctly. The other clients that work out there are just as friendly. I feel like I’ve joined one big happy family and everyone is working their hardest and showing up! Less

Couldn't be more pleased with my time at Friendship Fitness. The only reason I am leaving is due to a move to Texas but during my 4 months at Friendship I've gained MORE strength in my workouts while avoiding injury than I've seen in any year on my own, had higher consistency in my workouts, have become more athletic in my abilities, learned how to Olympic, had great coaches and instruction/guidance, and felt like I was a part of a team. The community of Friendship Fitness is like none other and they truly live up to their name by providing high quality relationships while leveling up your fitness level. So thankful for my time here and hope that I can find another gym that is up to par with their business and coaching practices! THANK YOU! Less

I started going to Friendship in April and was looking for a gym that really focused on functional movement as well as focusing on form when lifting heavy. Their Build classes are my favorite and they are offered multiple times throughout the day which makes it flexible to meet your schedule. All of the coaches are great. ALL OF THEM! They always greet you with a smile and know who you are as soon as you step through the doors. In class, the coaches make sure to demo every movement as well as modifiers so you can perform the movement to your own body's limits. There are people of all ages coming to class which is really cool to see that there isn't a "type" of person that you can expect to see. It makes the environment that much more friendly and comfortable! I really enjoy going to class at Friendship and it has been exactly what I was looking for in a gym, right in my backyard! Less

Writing a short review for Friendship is difficult because there are SO MANY good things to say about it! Joining Friendship was a life changing decision that I am thankful for every single day. I look forward to my workouts every week but I also look forward to the experience that comes with being a part of Friendship. I have learned so much about myself physically, mentally and emotionally in the last 2 months. I am so excited to continue to learn with the help of the Friendship coaches. I could not ask for a better place to support my growth in and out of the gym! Less

Amazing CrossFit Gym!! Joining Friendship Fitness was one of the best decisions I've made. Friendship Fitness makes you a part of their family. The coaches are always happy to see you, they connect and encourage everyone at their current level, and they believe in your potential to get better. Great programming of the workouts so you don't get bored and will allow you to be able to push yourself to the best of your ability.This is a wonderful place and you'll always feel welcome here if you're a regular, just getting started, or dropping-in. Less

After an extensive search for *the* right gym for my needs, I found Friendship Fitness and Nutrition. The coaches are not only knowledgeable, but are very helpful in finding alternative moves/exercises to make sure my aging body is still getting a work out. I seriously can't say enough for the warm welcome that is shown when you walk in the door, but also the kindness from your fellow members. If you are searching for a gym, trust me, Friendship is the gym that lives up to its name. Less

Joining Friendship Fitness was one of the best decisions I ever made... I only wish I did it sooner! The coaches are clearly dedicated to the success of their clients. Every class is inviting and inclusive to needs of each person. What's more, every time you walk in the door you feel welcome and a part of the Friendship community. If you are looking to improve in your fitness or just looking for a great place to meet new people, Friendship Fitness is hands down the best choice to make. Less

This has been a fun gym to join. I used to only workout solo, without a coach. The accountability, communal environment, and ability to change the workout to suit your needs rather than beat yourself up for not doing what you want the first time is nice. The coaches keep an eye on you in these small classes and make sure you are in correct form as well as getting the best workout possible. Everything is easy to find and if you can't find it there is always someone who will help you out. The nutrition aspect is nice as well. As someone who has struggled with multiple eating disorders, it is nice to have a gym that has coaches who can help you out with nutrition for what you need. Less

I am currently going into my fourth week with Friendship Fitness after coming off of a massive dead zone of working out. My experience so far is absolutely amazing!! Every single coach is incredibly motivating, knowledgeable and fun. I desperately needed a gym that held me accountable and was personable. I have coaches that work with my physical therapy needs and they check in regularly to ensure I'm on my A game. They're understanding and their knowledge aids in my workouts without suffering further injury from past experiences. I'm so immensely grateful for their help and their motivational words and actions. I highly recommend for anyone that needs a big motivational boost and for those that need a well planned out, flexible workout plan! Less

I can’t say enough about this gym! My husband and I live in LA, but have been visiting family in Ohio for the past few months...our friends referred us to Friendship and it was a match made in heaven! Their work outs are challenging, their coaches knowledgeable and I really appreciate their time management (which is one of my biggest pet peeves!) Even during this crazy time their safety protocols and communication with their community is above par. We are heading back soon and are truly heart broken we can’t bring everyone with us....I’m looking forward to popping in to see everyone and getting a workout in when we come home to visit <3 Less

I wish I joined friendship fitness years ago. I've spent years on and off at conventional gyms. During the short time that I've been at friendship, my overall physical and mental fitness has improved drastically. All of the instructors are top-notch and make you feel comfortable with each workout. I don't see myself ever going back to a conventional gym. If you are looking to make leaps and bounds in your overall physical and mental well-being, come to Friendship. You won't regret it. Less

I’m happy safe and comfortable. Classes are structured and start/stop on time. content is exactly as advertised with how-to demos. Clearly instructors can do the exercises as advertised. I’m learning a lot, I don’t feel threatened with work beyond my capacity and I’m IMPROVING!!!! who knew? This is a slow, steady, safe way to get stronger. I’m a gym rat of many years and I wish I had gotten here sooner. Less

I have been doing crossfit for about 4 years now and have been to about 5 different gyms in that time, and I have to say that Friendship is definitely at the top of my list. I have had only good experiences with the people, coaching and programming.In the 9 months I have been here experienced consistent progress here more than any other place I've been. The thing that I like the most about Friendship is the variety of offerings that most gym's don't have. For classes, you can attend a typical crossfit offering or a more lifting focused class which I loved. Additionally, they have classes specifically for improving your gymnastics and olympic lifting coached by the awesome Jenny! Also, there are other premium offerings like an great nutrition coach Andy who really helped me dial things in to the next level. Friendship really has great things to offer for any level of crossfitter, from the new person just trying it out all the way to the experienced athlete. I would definitely recommend it Less

I'm so happy to train at Friendship Fitness. I wish I knew about them years ago! I always wanted to try crossfit type workouts, but I was intimidated to do so. Friendship has a great on-boarding program of personal training sessions. They teach you proper form for the major lifts. They also incorporate beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels to many of the more challenging exercises while you're in class. Friendship is more than just a gym. They promote overall health and wellness through in-house dieticians, in-house physical therapists, regular podcasts to improve your mental strength, and a HUGE emphasis on creating a positive support network of friends! Less

The coaches at Friendship Fitness offer great instruction on form and provide positive encouragement. The classes are small which equates to more individualized coaching and is more conducive to getting to know the people you are working out with. I appreciate the variety of workouts from day to day and week to week. I have only been attending class 3x a week for the last two months, but I have already seen a change in my range of motion, core strength, and physique (I look leaner!). Less

I volunteered at the CrossFit competition at the 2019 Arnold festival and was really astounded by the shape the athletes were in. I got it in my head that I wanted to do it, especially because my older brother was recommending it to me as well. Great coaches, great members, and an amazing experience all around! I always have an awesome workout, loads of fun and a great time when I come in. I even have a great time doing the tougher workouts because it challenges you on a different level, and I live for that. One of my favorite things about Friendship is the atmosphere and how welcoming everyone is. It's almost like a second a family! Been getting after it for a few months now and it's getting me in the right shape and mentality for the future! Absolutely recommend that you join if you're thinking about it! Less

What originally brought me to Friendship was Crossfit and the aspect of getting more fit. Which I have been able to do. I could talk about how I can now snatch my body weight, squat over #200, or string together more than 20 pull ups. But the real value has been in the people I’ve met. This extents well beyond the staff to so many of the members. Not being particularly out going, I’ve made life long friends. Turns out fitness brought me in but the people keep me coming back. Less

One of the best workout facilities I’ve ever been a part of! All of the trainers are extremely welcoming, friendly and there to help you improve. I’m completely new to CrossFit so I was nervous at first in getting started, but so glad that I decided to start at Friendship! The trainers have been extremely helpful in making sure that I’m comfortable with the workouts and doing them correctly these first several weeks that I’ve been a part of it! Highly recommend! Less

I had always been skeptical of crossfit. I have been training in typical gyms for 22 years and previously co-owned a small gym. I felt it was time to try something new and give crossfit a try. My only regret is not trying it sooner and listening to the naysayers! Friendship Fitness has exceeded any expectation I've had and honestly has the best customer service. My coach Ryan, and all coaches at Friendship truly care about all the customers and the total gym atmosphere is amazing. This place is for any and all people looking to get in shape and for any level. Everyone in class is encouraging and we all push each other to achieve our best. There is definitely no intimidation or negative vibes at Friendship! Less

This place truly lives up to its name. The trainers and other members are so nice and fun! Lots of encouragement to be found! If you have a previous injury, they’ll help you find an alternative exercise that will still challenge. The facility is clean, organized, and well stocked. WODs are posted just the day before so you’re less likely to pick and choose (which promotes more well rounded workouts.) I love Friendship Fitness! Less

An amazing experience in fitness, community, and holistic wellness. I've been a member for around 6 weeks now and couldn't be happier with the decision. This is more than a CrossFit box. They live up to their name of Friendship, they get the balance between intensity and fun, and they offer much more than just crossfit classes (although those are wonderful, with truly excellent coaches). They offer nutrition services, they have a coach who is also a physical therapist, etc. But to me it is the atmosphere, the community, and ultimately the Friendship that separates this place. At 40 years old and very out if shape I was very nervous about joining a CrossFit gym, turned ito to be the best possible decision I could make. The coaches really understand programming for a wide variety of body types and goals, and their ability to give me excellent scales for the workouts has been unmatched. If you're on the fence or intimidated, just come in and give it a shot! Less

I am 48 years old and have been going to friendship for three years and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone regardless of fitness level. The community which is made up of different ages and fitness levels is very welcoming, and the coaching is fantastic. My strength and mobility has improved immensely but I keep coming back because this is probably my favorite hour of the day. The coaches and members make working out fun. Less

Several weeks of great workouts with Coach Andy and Coach Maria! First, they give clear explanations so I know the goal/intention for each movement and sequence. Then, during the workout, they capably maintain individual attention to give me those tips I need in the moment, while also keeping the class as a whole progressing. Fabulous coaches and teachers - thank you Andy and Maria for making Friendship Crossfit the place I want to be! Less

After a few years away from the gym, or any consistent physical activity for that matter, I joined Friendship CrossFit. Why CrossFit? Well, a very well-timed email from the owner checking in with me and asking if I ever thought about coming back to Friendship CrossFit prompted my return. Like re-entry of any kind, it sucked. It's hard going to a place when you know the workouts will be tough, the journey you’re about to embark on is going to be tougher, and you will probably be the most out-of-shape person in the place – all of which was probably true when I started at Friendship this past April. I was 350 lbs., not happy, extremely self-conscious, and heading down a path, health-wise, that I knew didn’t have a happy ending. Today, December 13th, roughly 8 months later, I am officially 100 pounds lighter. The positive impact that this journey has had on so many different facets of my life, family, work, and relationships, is amazing. It’s still hard to believe the huge change that has occurred in such a short time. So, how did this happen? Hard work, yes. Determination, yes. Focus on nutrition, yes. But the main reason are the people at this place. From the owner, to the coaches, to the members. Every single person pushes you to be better. The support and encouragement you get everyday is unreal. The added benefit: it holds you accountable. I could go on and on, but if you need to make a positive change in your life, for any reason, reach out to these guys. Reach out to one of the coaches. It will be the best decision you ever made. Thank you, Jeff, for sending that email back in April. And, thank you, Andy – you are my ambassador of quan! Less

CrossFit can be intimidating for beginners and people trying to get into shape. I tried out a few other gyms closer to home before finding Friendship Fitness. They immediately make you feel like part of the team, and everyone from the coaches, owner, and fellow CrossFitters is super positive. It is well worth the extra drive time to get here for the personal attention. You're guaranteed to get in better shape and make some new friends. Less

Honestly - I am someone who never enjoyed working out. I honestly made fun of those people - eating their kale and drinking their protein powder. I always thought “ha! That will never be me.” But honestly friendship really has changed my life and a lot of my views about fitness. Pushing myself has honestly become fun for me to see what new goals I can hit and I am doing things I never thought I would be able to do! Everyone has been so supportive and has NEVER made me feel like I am not capable of hitting my goals (and even going above and beyond them). There really is no ship like Friendship! Less

I like the friendliness of the place. Coaches Andrew, Liz, Maria and Mitchell are all ones that I have had direct contact with. They are all awesome. They give pointers on how to do it a lift better and are positive. They point out your strengths and make you believe that they really care about how you are doing. They are genuine! If you ask a question, they are helpful and never make you feel stupid for not knowing. Less

I joined Friendship Crossfit as part of a 6 week challenge in mid January ‘18 with no prior Crossfit experience. I saw tremendous results and joined on as a full time member after the challenge was complete. In the time since the challenge ended I have remained consistent in my workouts and continue to see improvements. The coaches could not be any more supportive. In addition to being terrific instructors, they take a legitimate interest in you as a person and encourage you to reach your goals in and out of the gym. The coaches and members truly live up to the gym’s namesake. Less
