CrossFit Black Hive Central

I cannot say enough about Daniel and his gym. Be sure to keep good form. Even when you think he’s not watching, he is. He instills confidence in those he trains! He pushes your limits without coddling you. His technique is dope!

I came today for a drop in class (I’m from TX and have a box there). I had a great experience. It was a great workout, and the coach/owner Daniel was really nice. I felt really comfortable there and I appreciated his positive energy and encouraging words. I could definitely see myself coming back here. If you live in the area and are looking for a place I would give them a try for sure.

I dropped in this week to check the gym out. First the good: -The facility is great. -The location is even better (for me). -The people I worked out with made me feel welcome just as if I was already a part of this box. True CrossFit family folks, that's why I love the community. The bad: -The class I attended was full with 16 people and only one coach. That may be status quo some places, this is just an observation and just not what I'm used to. -I saw little to no actual coaching going on during the class. The WOD had overhead squats and there were obviously newer members there, if it happened, I saw very little feedback. I mean, I've been doing this for a couple of years and I still need pointers on form/etc. I did however see the coach have enough time to be taking video/pictures during class. -When I walked in the coach asked if I was the drop in, I said yes, I just moved here and am looking for a box. He made sure I signed a waiver, pointed out where the equipment I needed for the day was, and those were the last words I heard from him. Everywhere else I've been so far the time has been taken after class to go over pricing/plans/programs offered/etc. Here it just felt like I just needed to get out of the way for the next class. So, first impression. Nice gym, GREAT people, critically understaffed, distracted coaching. I may have dropped in on a bad day, we all have them and I understand. I did get a good workout, but I will not be using this box as my new CrossFit home.

Dropped in twice this week the coaches were friendly, knowledgeable and excellent. They even remembered me by name when I walked in for my 2nd drop in which was three days after the first time. The box was very clean and well organized. The athletes I worked out with were super friendly and very supportive. I would recommend this place to anyone I will definitely drop in again next time I'm in town.

Im in Army ROTC getting ready to go to Air Assault School at Westpoint. I was struggling with my rope climbing and finding a rope to practice on in Jax. Asked Daniel if it was alright to practice on his rope and he was incredibly welcoming. He also taught me a new technique to climbing it and it was free of charge! Strongly recommend this place, great atmosphere with helpful individuals!
