Cranbrook CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: So grateful for Underground Fitness. The coaching is intentional, the community is strong, and the support goes far beyond workouts. It’s a place where people become friends and fitness becomes something you look forward to. I highly recommend.

Negative experience: I had a disappointing experience here that left me feeling very uncomfortable, the owner asked a series of personal questions about my life outside the gym that felt very uncomfortable and crossed clear professional boundaries. Instead of focusing on training, I found myself feeling uneasy and unsure how to respond. Theres also moments where he was just plain rude lacking a sense of respect toward clients including myself by being confrontational and dismissive. That kind of dynamic can make it difficult to trust or feel safe in a gym, Do better! Edit: Hi Jesse this isn’t an error, just to jog your memory I’m the member you contacted and refunded as a result of your actions. My review reflects my experience: being asked personal questions unrelated to training such as my dating life, gossiping about other clients, and being spoken to publicly in a confrontational way. Using profanity and raising your voice at a paying client is not professional or acceptable. I’m not looking to continue the discussion further, but I’m leaving this here so others can make an informed decision, Thanks.

I’m getting stronger every week and pushing limits I had no idea I was capable of.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the BEST CrossFit gym in the East Kootenays! In the 4 months since switching to Underground, my technique in every area of fitness has improved dramatically! This community is so inviting and supportive, I'm so grateful to be a part of it

Fantastic experience: Life changer. Great team of coaches and fellow cross fitters that get the best out of me every day. I was expecting a drill Sgt shouting in my ear and found positivity and encouragement... I learned how to correct my poor technique that was leading to injury after injury. The attention you get each class is like having a personal trainer! Best shape of my life! 5 years after originally posting this I can only update it keeps getting better and better. The workouts are adapted for every range of ability and I can honestly say it is for everyone (don’t wait until you are in shape to go, go to get in shape!) 2023 and still enjoying it.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches and community. Who knew working out could be so much fun!

Fantastic experience: People think they have to be "in shape" before they do CrossFit; or that they have to be super athletes. This is not the case. CrossFit can be designed for anyone, and the coaches here are fantastic. Where else can you get personal training at group rates? Yes, the workouts are challenging, but I've never had so much fun while working so hard. This is a great gym-and much more enjoyable than your standard gym. As I said before, great coaches and wonderful support from the group members. For me, CrossFit was life changing.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Cranbrook CrossFit for a lot of years. Amazing, supportive and friendly coaches and members.

Fantastic experience: This gym is for everyone. I came to the gym, a year and a half ago, with a total hip replacement with limited mobility. Jesse modifies the workouts to fit my ability.

Fantastic experience: 3 months in. Great atmosphere and people. Workouts are top notch

Fantastic experience: Great gym community. Love the work outs, love the people!

Fantastic experience: What a supportive and great community.I started CrossFit as I was intimidated by regular gyms. I never knew what to do or how to do it.Know one was willing or able to help. Staff wouldn't make eye contact or even talk to me. I spent my time on the elliptical machine. Now I have a planned work out great coaching in and out of the gym and a community that goes above and beyond to help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been at Underground Fitness for three months. I really like the schedule It’s the most improvement I’ve ever felt in myself. The coaching is really hands on and you feel supported in trying new exercises. It’s like like having a personal coach in a fun group setting. They are very knowledgeable and supportive of everyone where they are at and help to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone.

Fantastic experience: My experience has been amazing since joining a year and a half ago. I give it 5/5 cause there’s no reason for me not to.

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome place to workout! The coaches and the other members are so welcoming! It is so nice to not have to think about what to do because every class is programmed for you and the coaches are there to help you every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: I have always held a gym membership but never have I had these kinds of results. I started with some bodyfit classes (no experience necessary) and over a few months tried a crossfit class. I quickly loved both. The coaching is so personal and helpful PLUS you get the best workout a person could possibly do within an hour, from the warm up to the accessory work. There are options and scaling opportunities for all levels of athletes. I am 1.5 ish years in, just completed my first Crossfit Open (so fun to be part of a team), and got my husband to jump on board. I can't wait until our whole family can go. The community/family within this gym is next level. Thank you to Jesse and the coaches :)

Fantastic experience: The programming is amazing... never get bored and goals constantly evolve no matter what your fitness level! The friendships and support u build with the other members are bar none. A 60 min class ticks so many boxes at one time... I could never go back to any other style of fitness regime after getting a taste of CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I was struggling to find a fitness program that kept me engaged and this was the fit. I love the competitive, welcoming and friendly environment. The coaches are always willing to help and make the workouts perfect for your specific needs.

Fantastic experience: I joined Underground a year ago looking to get back into fitness but also not having a clue about what to do in a gym with barbells and weightlifting. The direction from the coaches and encouragement from each member quickly made the gym a comfortable place to learn! What I love the most about CrossFit is that there is something for everyone which makes it such an inclusive and open environment.

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant to join CrossFit but I am really happy I did. I find Jesse and the coaches are excellent at motivating and finding moves that work for me. Also, the community of gym members are friendly and welcoming. My only regret is that I waited so long to join.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for over five years now and it has become a necessary part of my life. Want to get physically fit? Want to improve your mental health? Want to see continous improvement in your abilities? Then this is the place to come to. The coaching and structured training are fantastic. The coaches do a great job of adapting workouts for all abilities. One of the best things about the gym though is the supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Underground Fitness has been my gym for 11 years. It is a welcoming community with amazing coaches. I can't say enough good about the programming and i am in the best shape of my life because of it. Every class is different and challenging and it's a part of my day that i look very forward to. I highly recommend anyone thinking of joining to join, you won't regret it.
