Emily Van Wyck2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started doing CrossFit over a year ago at SISU (after my husband encouraged me to join). I was a little hesitant because I thought it might be too intense, but I was surprised by how welcoming the whole gym is for people of all fitness levels. The coaches have always helped me figure out how to scale the workouts to my level, and the other gym members have been incredibly friendly and supportive. I have become so much stronger over the last year. The workouts always challenge me to push a little harder than I would if I worked out on my own. I highly recommend SISU for anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall health! Stefan Shover2025-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great coaching. Welcoming and supportive community. Clean Gym. Even has a sauna and cold plunge for taking care of the body after the tough workouts. Everything about this place screams quality and commitment to its members' physical health. Highly recommended! Colleen Hatzung2025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter and I joined SISU over a year ago and we have loved it! We were nervous to go to a “CrossFit” gym, but the coaches and community were so welcoming. There are always ways to scale each workout to where our bodies are at. Making us feel successful. My daughter was feeling stronger, but wanted help with losing weight. She started the nutrition program with Christina in the fall and is down 30lbs!! She is feeling so much stronger in all ways and educated on how to lead a healthy life. We could not be more grateful for this gym and the people in it! David Brindle2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SISU is the best gym in town!! Seriously, I love this place. I’ve been a member now for over 4 years and can’t imagine where I would be without it. My overall fitness has improved greatly in this time. The varied training creates strength and fitness. The community creates grit, or SISU! The community of the gym is so great! Very supportive and encouraging, not intimidating. It’s fun to workout with your friends. The coaches are incredible people and so helpful with providing guidance and movement options to any level of athlete. Exercise is the healthiest thing you can do for both body and mind and SISU is the best place to do it!!! Mike Broghammer2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been a member of SISU for almost three years, and my wife has been attending for just over a year now. This gym truly stands out as a welcoming community that accepts and supports people no matter where they are in their fitness journey. The focus here is on overall wellness, not just physical fitness. The facility includes a cold plunge and two saunas, which are fantastic for recovery and relaxation. Additionally, there are nutritionists available to help you with your dietary needs and goals. The coaches at SISU are well-trained and always ready to help. They are great at modifying workouts to suit your fitness level and any injuries you might be recovering from. Their support and guidance have been invaluable to both my wife and me. Overall, SISU is more than just a gym; it's a community that fosters health, wellness, and personal growth. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their fitness and well-being Francie Broghammer2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make! I’ve been coming to Sisu for 1.5 years and LOVE it. Don’t let the CrossFit name intimidate you- they are welcoming to everyone and help you progress at a rate you’re comfortable with. Each class has people of all ages and skillsets. Some very competitive, others just trying to move their body each day. The community is unmatched and truly what keeps me coming back. The sauna is a perk that is hard to match anywhere else, and it enhances the health and community benefits x1000. On days when I’m low on motivation, knowing I’ll get to have a great workout then spend time with friends in the sauna is enough to get me up and out the door. They have fun events throughout the year to keep the workouts engaging and bring families together! I’m so much healthier and happier since I joined Sisu. I’ve belonged to many gyms in my life and never been part of a gym like this. It’s one in a million! Charlotte Brisley2025-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a supportive environment! I’ve always felt working out with a team pushes me to train harder and SISU has been the best team I could’ve hoped for. I’m fitter, healthier and happier since joining. There’s always a convenient class time to fit my schedule and scaled workout options to adjust to my physicality. 100% recommend! Jennifer Robinson2025-01-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Consistently great workouts here and awesome community! Find your people here! Bill Hoofnagle2025-01-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing! That’s all I can say! Pat and his team are so great, very friendly and helpful! Love that have 2 saunas and a great cold plunge! Brittney Savage2025-01-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CrossFit SISU is one of the best communities and workout experiences around! I was originally invited to try CrossFit by my father. At the time, I was 25 years old and figured if he could do CrossFit, there was no reason I couldn’t give it a shot too! Fast forward 13 years, CrossFit SISU is still an essential part of my daily routine and life. The coaches are fantastic at helping you scale workouts to fit your needs, no matter where you’re at in your fitness journey. Whether you’re young, old, out of shape, pregnant (I did it with both kids!), or somewhere in between—anyone can do it. Make sure to check out the newly added saunas - they are a game changer and an added bonus to have on top of the workouts!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
