Crossfit One World & Self Defense

The energy of the coaches at this gym is infectious! Great instruction, challenging workouts, and a welcoming community.

Being relatively new to the East Bay, I wanted to find a gym and community nearby. I’ve always been intimated by CrossFit and so I was glad to stumble on a bootcamp classes option on Classpass. Coach JP and Mo were so friendly and welcoming and after the first class, I was craving to come back again and again. I then signed up for a Saturday bootcamp but the ClassPass app was having a glitch and messed up the schedule. They introduced me to the CrossFit and the rest is history. I’ve been coming to OW for a little over a year. Everyone from the coaches, to the staff, to the members have been nothing but welcoming. If you’re ever keen to joining a community, look no further. Thank you One World!

Highly recommend this place if you want to get back into the active lifestyle, looking to do crossfit, or want to try something new! The coaches are helpful and people are pretty welcoming. I've been doing the Bootcamp program for a few months now and it's been a super fun! Coach JP leads the program and he's friendly and amazing at what he does. His wife, Coach Mo, is equally amazing as well as all the other coaches I've met so far. I've definitely noticed a change in my strength, physique, and overall approach to fitness. The classes are challenging but there's good music and JP's dad jokes so you're going to crack in a laugh here and there while covered in sweat. Overall, the program is pretty lively and makes you want to come back for more. It can be intimidating at first but with consistency and asking for help on techniques and lifts, it'll get better with time. Everyone has to start somewhere! The guy at the front desk (Nam) is also good at getting new members acclimated to the gym and makes you feel comfortable so don't be afraid to speak up or ask questions!

Absolutely outstanding experience. I started here over 10 years ago then moved out of state for a while. Came back late 2023 and the atmosphere was exactly what I remembered and why I came back. Extremely challenging program, the trainers clearly put in a lot of work and thought into the workouts and again, there's just something about that box. Feels like family. Everyone helps everyone, there's no ego, no negative vibes. I've seen the transformation in some of the newbies and its just insane, including myself. If you're looking to get in shape, and you're looking for a home away from home, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing space for a Crossfit gym in the bay area, definitely the biggest in the tri-city! If you are looking to do olympic weightlifting, crossfit, self defense, etc. this is the place to be!
