| - So I am relatively new to CrossFit but at the urging of several friends started just a couple of months ago at CrossFit Max Effort. I hear a lot of things about a lot of CrossFit Boxes as this is really becoming popular and what I can say for Max Effort is this:
1. There couldn't be a more encouraging and friendly bunch of coaches anywhere. It starts from Zach, the owner, who takes a genuine personal interest in everyone who joins. Even if he isn't your coach for that WOD, he is walking around, watching and encouraging at every step. The rest of the coaches are equally encouraging and knowledgeable. I have done WODs with Isaac, Lauren, Nicole, Lindsay, Billy and Ray and each one of them helps you scale, maintain intensity and push through to the end.
2. The people that attend WODs at CFME are a plus as well. The culture of the box is very much one of encouragement. As a newbie (as well as not being in great shape) I found people who were done that I hadn't even met cheering me on to finish my WOD on more than one occasion. That really helps get rid of any intimidation you might feel about being there. There are also men and women of a wide variety of ages and shapes, making no one feel like they don't belong there.
Overall, the box is clean, the workouts are varied, the people are not intimidating and are very welcoming of new members and the coaches are awesome. Check them out if you are looking for a CrossFit gym.
