Stoney Creek CrossFit^®

Expérience fantastique: very friendly , kind and professional owner

Expérience négative: Don’t go to CrossFit Stoney creek , Lorna the owner / only coach doesn’t show up half the time and when she does she’s under the influence . This is not what CrossFit is suppose to be and it’s not the experience anyone should have to go through .

Expérience négative: Unprofessional and inappropriate

Expérience négative: I rarely write reviews, but I really felt like this needed to be done. I entered Stoney Creek CrossFit thinking I was signed up through an app for a class. Upon arriving, the owner (Lorna) was friendly... however when I started filling out her paperwork... I said I found her gym via my app class pass. Lorna's whole demeanor changed and started becoming aggressive with me, raising her voice and telling me she has NEVER associated with Class Pass. I find that odd, as the app has listed her, there are reviews on the app for her gym, & I highly doubt an app would steal all of her information, such as class times and class descriptions. However, maybe that is true - technology has its faults. She told me she would contact the app and say she does not want to be listed. I asked her if she could also mention that I paid for credits I used at her studio, and could I be included in her email that I should be refunded credits for this class? She said this was not her problem and simply does not care that I paid for the class. Instead, it would have been more professional for you to explain the information respectfully, realize this was not my fault, and offer me a class for a fee as I drove all the way there & was excited to see the gym. I actually would have paid her directly to try a class... however this wasn't even offered to me. After interrupting me multiple times and not giving me the time of day to fix this issue, I left the studio. Lorna does not care about her clients/ potential clients. Do yourself a favour and enroll yourself at a welcoming gym - this is not it.

Expérience fantastique: Is a nice place with great people!

Expérience fantastique: Fun place to let loose

Expérience fantastique: Crossfit Stoney Creek has changed my life. Their welcoming atmosphere makes you want to go to the gym. The extremely knowledgable staff makes you successful at the gym. I enjoy this gym so much that I have signed my kids up for the kids class which is also well taught, and my kids love it.

Expérience fantastique: CF Stoney Creek is a beautiful facility, and Lee was incredibly helpful and welcome. I would love to work out there again. :)

Expérience fantastique: Crossfit Stoney Creek is a great place where bootcamp and crossfit classes are always different and rewarding. It has helped me with weight loss and strengthening. I live in Grimsby and Crossfit Stoney Creek is only a 5 minute drive. It has a great atmosphere and I always look forward to going!

Expérience fantastique: Wow! Crossfit Stoney Creek was the best summer training experience I have ever completed. Before Crossfit, I would hang around the gym not knowing what to do. During my 3 month experience, I finally realized what my body was capable of doing. I was much stronger, I had more drive, and I saw results not only in the gym, but on the ice as well. Thanks to Lee & Lorna, they not only coached Crossfit, but they understood each individuals strengths and weaknesses at the gym, and would adhere to informing them with information and demonstrations of how to better themselves. I know that I'm 100% prepared to tryout for the varsity hockey team at the University that I am going to, and I will definitely be back to train on holiday's and the upcoming summers.

Expérience fantastique: No one has been able to push me and motivate me to get to that next level like Lorna has in just a few short weeks. The workouts and the environment created at the gym leave you excited to come back. I cannot recommend CrossFit Stoney Creek enough.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym with great coaches and members! And they offer a free trial class!

Expérience fantastique: Totally love their workouts. The facility is very welcoming. And the workouts are designed to outfit each individual. I was especially impressed when the owners followed up within 24 hours to get feedback. They weren't pushy which I really loved! Would definitely recommend their workouts if you want killer results!

Expérience fantastique: Love this place!

Expérience fantastique: Knowledgeable staff dedicated to helping you achieve your goals

Expérience fantastique: Knowledgeable staff, suitable for people of all fitness levels

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Crossfit Stoney Creek (CFSC) for more than four years. Short version of my review: I love it. Show up, work, have fun, and get results. Long version: When I reached my late 30's I became busy with work and family. I found myself inactive and overweight. I finally joined a gym. This was a great step for me. I had no idea what I was doing, but saw some results. Over time, I stalled and even regressed a bit. Eventually, I worked with a personal trainer at the gym. It was helpful to have coaching. The workouts were challenging, fun, and always different. My trainer tracked my progress and I saw improvement. One day I asked my trainer what I should do on days when he wasn't coaching me. He told to "keep doing Crossfit". I had no idea that was what I was doing. After that, I did Crossfit on my own for a couple of years at my gym following the daily online posted WODs (workouts of the day). Crossfit turned working out into a sport. It was fun, but didn't fit with the gym (more than once my workout was interrupted when someone innocently took my equipment and I missed the social aspects I now enjoy). Finally, a trainer advised me to join "a real Crossfit box" and recommended CFSC. At 43, I played hockey and hit the gym a few times a week. I was nervous to join CFSC, but Lee, Lorna, Kyle and the other coaches couldn't have been more supportive. I dove in and have never looked back. It started slow, but I have learned so many new skills, become stronger, fitter, and met so many great people. "Double Unders" took six months to figure out (I never skipped rope as a kid), but I got them. I never imagined I could do a muscle-up on the rings - I can. I can lift heavy weight doing Olympic lifts safely. Even now, I still reach new personal bests. People have noticed the difference in my fitness. Working out is now a fun sport that I enjoy doing in a great team environment. I don't kill it every day, but I always feel better having done my best in a WOD, and always with the encouragement of everyone around me. I travel for work and have visited many Crossfit boxes around the world. I have enjoyed all of them, but CFSC is truly home. The people are welcoming, supportive, and fun. This is a safe place to blow off steam and improve yourself with no pressure or pretence. I hate missing a day at CFSC. I have made great connections with so many diverse, kind, and interesting people. And I have never felt stronger or healthier. If I can get results, anyone can. Show up and stick with it. Keep moving. Have fun. See you there.

Expérience fantastique: The coaches here are absolutely amazing. Very supportive, they go above and beyond with diet/workout advice and basically help you through every single facet of your well being. I've been going here for a few months now, and have put on nearly 10 pounds of muscle and can honestly say I'm in the best shape I've ever been in my entire life. Facilities are clean, and the atmosphere is really friendly and inviting. Can't say enough good things about this place. I love it.

Expérience fantastique: My experience at CFSC is excellent! The owners and the trainers always listen to my needs and scale everything to prevent injuries and help get the maximum out of my workouts. They are always available to talk about nutrition and specific needs. It's a a family experience and an awesome atmosphere! I highly recommend it.

Expérience fantastique: Love the challenge of the workouts!

Expérience fantastique: Now 12 months since I started at Crossfit Stonek Creek. My opinions have not changed. I am almost 72 and still find excellent scaling when I need it. I just keep getting stronger and more accomplished. I have recently joined Stoney Creek Crossfit. When you first look at Crossfit and what people are doing you can feel very intimidated!! My experience has been totally amazing, I have been totally impressed how Lee, Lorna and Gideon can immediately recognize what I would be able to do and quickly teach me proper technique. My wife does not believe me when I tell her about my 16" box jumps or pressing the bar over my head numerous times in a row. That is kind of understandable since I turned 70 years old last year. Try Stoney Creek Crossfit out. You will not be disappointed. I am a paying customer, not friend or family!

Expérience fantastique: I have been meaning to write a review for CFSC for some time now and have never done so because I did not know where to start. I have now been training with CFSC since March 2015. It would have been longer and I wish it has been longer. I drove by almost every day for a month before I joined and every day I said to myself “tomorrow is the day”. To be honest I was scared to go in. I felt that I would be getting myself in over my head and that I could not do it and felt like I would be slowing the class down. I could not have been more wrong. Lee, Lorna and Kyle could not be more accommodating and encouraging. The way the classes work and are set up are truly designed for everyone. They can be changed and altered to suit everyone and their own unique ability. I am now 31 years old and have struggled with my weight and weight loss my whole life. This has always been especially hard because my whole life I have had a love hate relationship with sports. I loved to play and watch most sports but because of my weight have never been able to excel at them. Since and during high school I would join various traditional gyms and participate in various sports and would see temporary results; however I would soon lose interest and revert back to my old ways. CFSC has done the impossible; they have created a workout regimen that I enjoy, look forward to coming back almost every day and one in which I see results from my efforts. Since I started at CFSC I have lost 30 lbs. and well on my way to losing more weight. Though I have not yet met my weight loss goals; I have had countless unquantifiable benefits that I have experienced and never expected. Since joining I have: 1. Been able to sleep much better. I usually wake up before my alarm clock and no longer groggy in the morning as long as I go to bed at a reasonable hour. 2. I have gotten much stronger then I had ever expected. 3. My cardiovascular capacity is much better. I have started playing ball hockey again and since joining CFSC have become a significantly better player just simply because I can run faster and longer than I ever have before. 4. I am an avid golfer and when I golf I do not dread walking 18 holes anymore and rarely ever take a cart. CFSC is not just a gym it is community of likeminded people who are trying to improve various aspects of their life. Everyone there understands this and creates an environment of encouragement for each other. In addition to your own progress; seeing the progress of your peers really encourages you to keep coming back everyday.

Expérience fantastique: I have been coming to Crossfit Stoney Creek for 4 years now and every day that I have walked into the gym, I've encountered new challenges and new successes. The best thing about this box is the community, the members and owners. It is so easy to be intimidated by the workout that you see on the whiteboard the minute you step foot inside, but honestly the hard part is just getting here! From there on you'll be hooked! Everyone cheers each other on whether you're the first person to finish, or the last. The trainers, Lee and Lorna have helped numerous amount of people whether they've worked out before or are currently an athlete training for some type of event, either way the attention to detail is there to ensure you're executing a lift properly and enjoying your workout. They take you into their own hands, treat you like family because you truly become one at Crossfit Stoney Creek. I didn't lift a barbell or one weight before in my life prior to this experience, now it's honestly my favourite thing to do! It becomes addicting! Once you join, or try your first class for free I can guarantee you'll never want to leave! Yes you will be sore, but it's a good feeling! Ladies don't be intimidated either by the barbell! Forget the stigma of lifting weights makes you look like a man. Lee and Lorna are trainers who take into account YOUR goals and help you accomplish them in a timeframe that you never thought was possible. Just because you can't perform a certain movement doesn't mean you'll never be capable! They cater to your needs and modify a workout for you, so you continue to get stronger, happier, confident and reach your full potential- where in Crossfit you'll find you have no limits so you just keep going and setting new goals for yourself! :) That's why I love it at Crossfit Stoney Creek.

Expérience fantastique: Chest up, back straight, knees out, toes up! Instructions I've never heard before until I started at CrossFit Stoney Creek and I can now hear them in my sleep. The attention to each individual client that Lorna and Lee pay is unmatched. New to CrossFit and that particular style of working out, I appreciate the detail oriented, technical, and knowledge of both Lorna and Lee. There is an inherent risk of injury with any physical activity, but with the proper training and oversight like I've been given, I have yet to suffer and I haven't felt better! Strengthening, toning, and losing weight were my goals going in but I now have a new found love for the "sport of fitness." I give credit to Lorna and Lee for instilling that enthusiasm in me, recognizing an interest, and pushing me to do things that were never possible before. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: I always look forward to the workouts! Always challenging and fun. I never thought when I started 3 years ago that I would be in the best shape of my life at 40! Best place to workout at. Period.

Expérience fantastique: My past gym experiences always went like this. Find a treadmill or elliptical where I could watch a tv; pretend to do some weights; repeat for 3 months, then stop going. A friend convinced me to try CROSSFIT STONEY CREEK. Let's face it, we all want to get into better shape and almost all of us need to drop some "tonnage" also. I have been successful with both (dropped 50 lbs and kept it off. My tailor has given up trying to alter clothes and has ordered me to just go buy new stuff). What makes CrossFit Stoney Creek work for me? It's a different workout everyday, you work your entire body. The Trainers are awesome,(Lorna, Lee & Kyle) and know how to modify the workouts to each individual's competence. They also know what buttons to push to motivate. What CrossFit Stoney Creek adds that I have not received elsewhere is the motivation & support to make a lifestyle change in eating habits. My friends are tired of me talking about CrossFit; I am NOT tired of hearing all the compliments from people commending me for how I am looking. It's no different than anywhere else, you will be nervous your first time there, but trust me, within a week, you will start to recognize people and likewise, they will recognize you. Just like that, you will have your CrossFit Stoney Creek family, as well as your own family. If I can do it, you can too. Give it a try! Steve Foxcroft

Expérience fantastique: I like Crossfit, but I LOVE crossfitstoneycreek! I've been crossfitting for almost four years now and can't believe how far I've come. The patient and light hearted, but serious, approach of Lee and Lorna is what I have to thank for my success. Not to mention the support of the wonderful membership. Having these encoraging trainers nearby has allowed me the confidence to try lifts I wouldn't have thought possible in my past life as a regular gym goer. They watch, tweek, and cheer on at the same time while considering safety always. I've tried other Crossfit "boxes" but love this one the most. That's why I make the trek from St. Catharines (30 mins away). Oh and don't be intimidated before your first class like I was. You couldn't ask for a nicer more welcoming atmosphere :) Thanks Lee, Lorna and Kyle for making me the strongest, fastest, fittest I've ever been!!!

Expérience fantastique: Everyone was very welcoming from the first time I walked through the door almost 3 years ago. Very challenging workouts that make you push yourself physically and mentally.

Expérience fantastique: Crossfit Stoney Creek is truly the best gym! I have been a member at many gyms for the past 25 years and I have never found such a positive, motivating and friendly environment. The workouts are challenging and push you to limits that you never thought possible!! I have been a member now for over 2 years and attend the 6 am class. I never thought I could ever find the motivation to get up at 5:30 in the morning to workout. Having amazing trainers to tell you what to do and friendly faces make what seemed like the impossible, possible! It's the best way to start your day!

Expérience fantastique: Throw away every negative stereotype you have heard about Crossfit, they simply do not apply here. I cannot speak highly enough regarding my experience here at Crossfit Stoney Creek. From my initial visit I was immediately impressed with the trainers’ knowledge and attention to fundamentals. There has never been a moment when I felt that proper technique and personal safety were taking a backseat to performance or arrogance. I began training here in Jan.2016, having found that my normal gym routine was becoming stale and overly time consuming. At that time I had been training primarily on my own, and I have found that Crossfit Stoney Creek has filled the deficiencies in my training program. Lee and Lorna provide excellent coaching and programming, while also providing a very welcoming and fun atmosphere. Continuous improvement and physical prowess are both celebrated. Lorna and Lee motivate everyone to push themselves, and can help anyone accomplish their health and fitness goals. They not only provide excellent workout programming so as to avoid overloading whilst producing results, but they take a holistic approach to fitness by providing mentoring (on request) with regards to the impact of diet on one’s health and performance. For individuals who might be too intimidated or believe themselves to be too out of shape to even begin, I would urge you to drop in and meet with the trainers. Let them demonstrate how they are willing to work with you to tailor workouts and drive success. For individuals who think they are already fit, come show us what you’ve got.

Expérience fantastique: Do not be intimidated! This gym truly is for everyone!! Lee and Lorna are extraordinary owners/trainers who take time with each and everyone in the class. They will always ensure that you are executing the skills properly and at a weight or level appropriate for your abilities. You will never be pushed to do anything that you can't do. Everyday is something different, a new and exciting challenge! From the first day you walk in you will feel welcome and the positive atmosphere is contagious! In no time at all you will be doing things you never thought possible! No matter what your goals are you will surely attain them at CROSSFIT Stoney Creek!

Expérience fantastique: July 1 2015, I decided to try Stoney Creek Crossfit and I have never looked back. Prior to this I was a member of a name brand gym and found that I was not making any progress. I had plateaued and felt I needed to do something in order to kick start my gym experience. I drove by Stoney Creek Crossfit but always thought it would be too much for me. I was wrong. Walking through their door was the best thing I did. The trainers (Lorna, Lee, Kyle) were most welcoming, sharing their knowledge and skills and knowing when to push and when to encourage. Under their watchful eyes, ensuring everything is done properly, I find myself in the best shape ever. The workouts are tasking but every day is a lot of fun with a great group of people sweating through the workouts together. Overall it is total fitness, even carving a groove of mental toughness for the mind. Come through the door and let us all welcome you to a great experience.

Expérience fantastique: Crossfit Stoney Creek is the best place in the creek! Trainers are unreal and go above and beyond to challenge you and achieve goals you never thought possible. The atmosphere is welcoming and energetic. Tried it by myself and stuck to it...best choice I ever made! I have never felt so happy with my body and myself...this place can change your life in more ways than a simple review could ever explain. Try it you will LOVE every little bit of it. Don't be afraid to walk into this place...!
