Best Crossfit Gym near Lubbock, Texas

I have started CrossFit here 2.5wks ago and I have had an amazing experience with every class I’ve gone to. I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere, the community, the classes and the coaches. The coaches are wonderful. They are knowledgeable,attentive,caring and motivating, all the things I was hoping to find at my first CrossFit gym. CrossFit Paladin was highly recommended to me as a beginner and I highly recommend it to anyone else.

CrossFit Paladin is my "home away from home," and I couldn't be more blessed by the family I've found with our coaches and the other members. I was always intimidated by CrossFit and the "intense crossfitters," but the family at CrossFit Paladin is anything but intimidating. Melissa and Jasper are top notch coaches who care about each individual member's progress, wellbeing and experience. There are no shortcuts or cheats promoted here; just 100% hard work, good technique and form, and a lot of fun. I love being able to work out with amazing people, who constantly support each other in every step of this journey. I worked out all through my pregnancy, and Melissa helped me work postpartum to get my nutrition in order--it's been 18 months since I had my daughter and I really feel stronger, fitter and generally more confident (physically, mentally, and emotionally) than I ever have!!!

With so many Crossfit gyms Lubbock has to offer it can be hard to find the right gym for you. In my experience, Crossfit Paladin has been nothing short of amazing. I came to Paladin doing your typical weight training in a commercial gym, but I wanted to increase my level of fitness knowing I was pursuing a career with the Texas Highway Patrol. From day one I received top tier coaching and support from not only Melissa but also Dustin, Robin, Jasper, and all the members. With the whole team here at Paladin I have become stronger, increased my explosiveness, and have become more fit overall. I have met some great people while attending this gym. All of whom push you to be your best and truly want to see you succeed! If you are hesitant about Crossfit or any of the movements involved, CF Paladin will give you all the guidance you need to be successful.

CrossFit Paladin has been my gym home since June of 2014! I have always been active and had a background in competitive sports, but CrossFit offered a completely different way of exercising than I was used to. While initially I was intimidated and unsure of some of the movements, I also quickly realized how much I LOVED the new challenges and I was HOOKED! Jasper, Melissa and the other coaches do an excellent job of taking those initially “intimidating” movements and teaching the proper form, fundamentals, and modifications necessary to meet the needs of the individual. CrossFit truly is for EVERYONE! Come be a part of our fitness family at CrossFit Paladin! You won’t regret it!

CrossFit Paladin is a family, not just a gym. It’s a place to laugh on the days you want to cry. A place to be encouraged and supported. A place you feel confident and strong regardless of what you lift or don’t lift. It’s a fantastic CrossFit gym with diligent coaching, but beyond that it’s a home!

I moved from Kalispell Montana in July 2024 and I searched high and low for a new crossfit gym. With compass crossfit I didn’t just find coaches that met me where I was, but took the time to explain and coach me 1:1 so I can grow as a person and member. I felt accepted and gained new friends that are like family to me now. I recommend this gym to anyone.

I have been a member at compass for 1.5 years. I was nervous about starting because of the stigma around the term "Crossfit". Compass did a great job of breaking that mold. They assessed my level of fitness and help me build slowly so that I would not injure myself. If you have been to another Box in town and been turned off by the atmosphere make sure you give Compass a try. This crew truly cares about their members and treats them as family.

The most encouraging, humble, loving CrossFit community I have ever experienced. Tim and Randi (husband and wife) are the owners and they will immediately make you feel at home and like you're already part of the family from the get go. I'm a student at Tech and I am graduating in May and dreading it because I know I will be leaving them too soon. CrossFit has changed my life for the better, and I know if wouldn't have stuck with it if it wasn't for my Compass family. The first Friday of every month there's "Friday Funday" and after the WOD everyone eats food that's prepared/brought/bought and drinks (BYOB-or whatever you're into lol), it's always something awesome! They BBQ, grill, have crawfish boil and people share their favorite Paleo dish or whatever concoction they're trying out this week and it's awesome. People from other boxes are also encouraged to come and it's a lot of fun working out and coming together as a true community, no matter where you're main box may be. The coaches here also can't be beat. I have never wanted to try so hard in my life than when they encourage me right as I'm about to give up. From helping me move to letting me cry in a dress and nanos before the WOD in front of everyone...there's nothing you can do that will make them turn their back on you...instead they're there with open arms. I started this wanting to just get fit, and what I got along the way are some of the best people I've ever known that I am lucky enough to have in my life, a place to go everyday where I know I will be accepted as I am (which is absolutely a handful haha), AND (semi...still a work in progress) FIT. I love Compass. I love CrossFit. I love these people.

Tim is a great Coach, very knowledgeable and motivating. Highly recommend.

Awesome atmosphere, challenging workouts, but fun.
