Okay. I have been a member of CFLV for almost 6 months now and should have written the kind of review that it deserves months ago. It is the continued outstanding leadership of the owner and the relationships that I have formed with the other members that has compelled me to finally write this review. So here it goes:\n\nI moved to Vegas in January 2013 and didn't know a single person in this city. I had been doing CrossFit for a little over a year and knew that my first step (before purchasing a bed or ya know, finding a job) was to find what would be my next CFit gym. I simply Google'd 'CrossFit Las Vegas' and whataya know. CFLV was the first to pop up on my search. I didn't even look around the site, research yelp reviews or anything - just needed to find the hours of operation and a contact. I sent the owner (Joe) an email and he told me to drop-in the next day during his class. (10AM).\n\nNow, as outgoing and fearless as I am, I was really nervous. To the point that I almost didn't go. It took the encouragement of the coaches from my previous gym and texts from all of my friends to convince me to actually show up. The 10AM class that day was pretty small, about 7-10 people (3 of which ended up becoming my best friends). Everyone was super friendly and inviting and the WOD was killer. Joe asked my thoughts when it was over and I told him that I was pretty convinced CFLV would be my new box. He encouraged me to try some other places, making sure I knew that there were gyms much closer to me..And that's when I knew this gym was unlike any other. Joe wasn't worried about another dollar sign coming through the door, he genuinely cared about the people and making sure they got what they needed out of CrossFit.\n\nTwo weeks went by and I still hadn't found a job so I hadn't returned to sign up and pay my first month of membership. I had to use what little money I had on things like food and gas (so annoying) and I felt CrossFit calling out to me every morning when my alarm went off and I knew I should be heading to 6AM class. One afternoon I got an email from Joe, asking if I had been able to find a gym and how my transition to Vegas was going. That's when I was sold. Not only did this place care about me in regards to CrossFit, I was clearly valued as a person as well. I emailed back and told him he'd be seeing my bright, smiling face the very next day because even though I hadn't visited any other gyms, I felt confident I was making the right decision. I took a trip to Coinstar that night and showed up for his 10AM class the next day. \n\nOver the last few months as my jobs and schedule have changed, I am no longer able to make Joe's 10AM classes. I bounced back and forth between 830AM and 6AM before finally settling on the suicide hour of 6. Michael Ty became my regular coach and this guy seriously knows his stuff. He's tough and he may play Country music to irritate you, but his athletic and coaching ability are unmatched by any other gym that I've ever been to. The quality of training seen at CFLV in general is unlike any other that I've experienced. It's simply, elite. \n\nA few months ago I injured myself and my CFit career hasn't been the same since. I continued to push and keep up my 4-5x/week regimen before my body threw up the white flag. I have since taken the last 2 months off but kept my membership going in hopes that one day I would magically wake up healed. No such miracle has occurred yet, but I digress. Money became an issue and I was seriously considering putting my membership on hold as it was no use to me. Joe got wind of this and immediately reached out to me. He has since become an integral part of my rehab and re-dedication to CrossFit and I couldn't be more grateful. He has proven yet again that he cares about every single one of his members.\n\nWhether you're just in town to visit, new to town, or a Vegas native - consider stopping by CrossFit Las Vegas. It is full of friendly people who are always looking to expand their family of friends. (And give you a good ass-kicking in the process)!
