| - I travel a lot for work and I get to visit some nice boxes, I will say that my experience at CFME was great, memorable, and I will definitely come back here when I am in town next. The box has a ton of space to run and play.
CFME is located conveniently next to the Las Vegas Strip. I walked 3 miles to get to my first drop in class there, but you can easily get there via taxi. Just keep in mind that if you taxi back that Las Vegas taxis aren't the fastest to respond to pick you up. You can also bum a ride from some of the permanent members, just don't be too shy to ask. I just had a lot of time to waste so I thought walking to and fro would be nice, thank goodness it was a nice spring day as I can't imagine doing it in the summer heat.
Pricing was just $20 for a drop in, or $30 with a shirt. Returning during the same visiting week was just $5. And signing up was as simple as just walking in. The box gets a lot of visitors a day/week so they are really used to it and make every effort to fit you in and accept you as one of their own immediately. During the call to class (happens 5 mins past the hour) they do the introduction, take names (so you get to meet everyone) and fill up the whiteboard.
I was lucky enough to enjoy multiple WODs here. Both WODs were diverse and had a great structured warm up that focused on the WOD itself. I've been to a few boxes where they have a standard warm up that is the same and they do everyday. Here they warmed you up to tackle the WOD so there is some method to the madness.
Staff is extremely knowledgable and pays close attention to all of the athletes in attendance. If you think there is just one coach lurking around and you can slack off, there's always another one that's just hiding in the shadows to pounce on you and keep you motivated. They give you the right kind of motivation and remind you of form above all else, I've been to some boxes where it seems they want you to crank out quantity over quality, here was definitely quality over quantity.
My only complaint is that there is no huge sign with neon lights that says CROSSFIT MAX EFFORT LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. It was easy enough to find though.
