CrossFit VU 8042 North Palafox Street, Pensacola, FL 32534

"This gym truly is amazing! When my husband James and I first moved to Pensacola, we wanted to get involved in a community that was fun and encouraged our fitness journeys. James had prior experience in CrossFit, so we decided to give VU a shot. I had no idea that joining this gym would not only make me the healthiest I've ever been but bring me friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Regardless of fitness background, VU is a comfortable and encouraging atmosphere that will help you accomplish any goal. The classes provide an individual challenge tailored to your abilities so that you benefit physically and are having a great time while doing it. No matter what workout is programmed for the day, I know that I'll share a laugh and embrace the suck with the amazing community that is CrossFit VU. Definitely go give this gym a try!"

"Awesome place! The full staff at VU is impeccable. I'm 42 years old and been lifting since I was 15, and in just 3 months I set personal records for my squat, clean and push press, gaining 40lbs, 30lbs, and 15lbs respectably. It's full-encompassing fitness from strength training, cardiovascular, plyometrics and stretching (yoga). You will have the opportunity to get in the best shape of your life. The community ranges from beginner to advanced, 70yrs, men and women and occasionally a friendly dog. It is really so much fun with a great group of people and camaraderie. I hands down recommend CrossFit VU - go get real results!"

"As a physical therapist, I have always been skeptical of CrossFit gyms because I felt like people weren’t being coached or had bad form and ended up getting hurt. Boy was I wrong- since starting at CrossFit VU I have actually been injury FREE!!! The coaches are so good at giving technique instruction and watching us very closely while we workout. The stronger I get - the less I get hurt! You’d think I know that!!!! I have been training with Joseph ( he is the best), a personal trainer at CF VU, once/week for the past 2 years and was ready to start the CrossFit journey a few months ago. I live in Gulf Breeze, so I checked out a few gyms close to home. Nothing compared to CrossFit VU!!! The coaches are what make this gym awesome. Whether you are a veteran CF athlete or brand new - the coaches are there to help , encourage, and teach! My husband and daughter now go to CF VU!!! Also- I have always worked out my whole life- but have been struggling with weight gain as I age- one thing Crossfit VU encouraged me to do was seek medical advice and get blood work done to investigate my issues. Found out I have some issues, started some medication, and have since lost 15-20 lbs. CF Vu along with medical recommendations has helped me get there ! The trainers at CrossFit VU preach fitness, teach fitness, live for fitness, and absolutely love their job! It is worth the hour drive 3 days/week to workout and be an athlete with this group!! Thank you Lex, Joseph, Wes, and Reese Susan Q"

"It’s been almost four months since I started CrossFit and I have got to say…it keeps getting better. Often times at a gym/box it seems like you’re only important until you commit to coming. What do I mean? Once it’s obvious you’re staying coaches/owners seem to stop caring. Not at CrossFit VU though…y’all keep caring. Every time I walk into the gym, no matter what kind of day I’ve had, my coaches make my day better. My form is checked often and I get feedback on how to improve. While I was away during a gym challenge, my coach checked in on me. He went above and beyond. Even though I wasn’t at the gym for half of it, I got results. Coach Wes would overview the workouts (on the weeks I was traveling) and ask how things were going to keep me accountable. That goes a long way to show what kind of place I get to call my gym. Thanks for caring enough to challenge me!"

"This gym is amazing!! Coaches and community is great. If you are in the pensacola area and you are thinking of joining a CrossFit gym , this is definitely the best place to get started. I had no idea what the names of workouts were, or how to do them. Little by little I started catching on. Also there is something about doing a workout with a group of people that is motivating, I push myself more then working out by myself. The positive environment and friendships built there are priceless."
