Top 3 Best CrossFit Gyms in Greenville, SC

Top 3 Best CrossFit Gyms in Greenville, SC

I wish I can say that I love to exercise so much, but the truth is, we have a love-hate relationship. I hope you can relate more than judge. Truth be told, I’d much rather play sports than exercise, but we all know sports does not target the muscles you want to develop as well as exercising.

One time, I was hanging out with my cousin and told him how I was feeling a little demotivated with the usual exercises I do at the gym. To prevent this from getting worse, he advised me to take some alternative fitness classes, so I don’t get easily bored. So, imagine my joy when I was introduced to CrossFit. If this is the first time you are hearing about CrossFit, let me define it simply for you: CrossFit is a high-intensity program that melds elements from several sports and exercises.

Being located in Greenville, SC, I had to make sure that the CrossFit gym of my choosing will fit my needs and preferences. That is why I went to three different CrossFit gyms in Greenville, SC to see for myself what they have to offer.

Seeing as how CrossFit is different from traditional exercise, I have decided to come up with a new set of key elements to look for in a CrossFit box.

  • Rate - Of course, we want to stay fit without having to break the bank. This may not be the first thing you consider in looking for a gym, but I want to make sure that we will be able to commit and sustain the membership for a long time.
  • Vibe - The vibe or energy is probably the most important thing for me. With the vibe, I will also see what kind of people I’ll be exercising with. CrossFit is usually conducted in classes, so it is important to feel comfortable.
  • Equipment - I don’t think this needs any explanation.
  • Programs and Classes - It is important to find a box that offers classes that will fit perfectly in your schedule and your physical fitness goals.
  • Coaches - It is important to have expert coaches that will train and guide you as you do CrossFit. When I tried researching about CrossFit, I saw that there are many cases of injuries. So make sure that the coaches in your chosen box have extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to CrossFit.
  • Hours – It is important that your box is open and can be accessible to you at your most convenient time.

Now that we’ve established the different elements that we will look at in this article, let’s proceed to our first gym.
