CrossFit Cervus

CrossFit Cervus is great! I’ve been doing CrossFit for 13 years now. I’m in town on business. The staff got me signed up at a very reasonable drop in price. The gym is spotless and coaching staff goes above and beyond on coaching and explanations of daily work outs. 5 star def recommend!!

SIGN UP ASAP! I signed up for Crossfit Cervus during my 3 month stay down in South Jersey. Duke is a GREAT coach. I did have prior crossfit experience but Duke the time to help me out to improve some of my lifts and achieve other goals (more than 1 double under in a row!!). The community is great and everyone is very encouraging and motivating. Also crossfit is not as intense as it may seem. Duke does a great job to help you ease into all the lifts and movements. Cannot recommend this crossfit more, sign up and you won't be disappointed.

Life long athlete here, best CrossFit experience and workout I’ve come across. While things in my personal life didn’t allow me to continue on at this gym I will say this… from day 1 meeting duke and learning about his coaching style and knowledge of the fundamentals and science behind the movements I knew this would be a great gym and well worth every dollar. I played college football and have been in sports my entire life and have never had anyone break down my form and explain things the way that duke was able to. I immediately began to feel more confident with my cleans and especially snatch which I’ve always struggled with. The facility is very clean and well kept. The members that attend the class bring great energy are competitive yet supportive and there is a sense of community. The workouts are well thought out and everything from scheduling classes to tracking progress is easy through the app. Also, they have social gatherings outside of the gym to get to know one another. Whether you’re a newbie to working out or a seasoned athlete you’re going to get more than your moneys worth at this gym.

Dropped in for a class and Duke is a fantastic coach and person!

He helped me with some of the movements I wasn't accustomed to from my home box in NC.

Highly recommend you check out this box if you are in the area or just visiting.

Recently , I’ve started my journey working out at CrossFit and very happy with the training and my coach. I chose CrossFit because you are not only shown how to do each workout but videos are provided and the instructors are right there to help and guide you. Most importantly they encourage you. I meet 3 days p/week for 1 hr with a small group and we all work together at our own pace, yet cheering and encouraging one another. I have a goal to reach in developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and to be physically fit.( mentally and physically). I want to remain active and enjoy the quality of life as long as I’m able. CrossFit is challenging but if you’re serious about maintaining your health or at least start somewhere then I recommend Crossfit . It’s working for me and I enjoy it and look forward to my workouts. When not on site I continue my stretches and applying what I’ve learned. In a few weeks and months I will start seeing the transformation take place. Duke is an excellent coach. Check it out and see for yourself. You’ll sweat and you won’t regret it!

After having two babies I decided to join a “gym”. Being in CrossFit had never crossed my mind as I guess I just assumed it was for people that already had experience working out (and I had very little… like almost none… I had never being a member of a gym). Somehow I stumble across CrossFit Cervus online and called just to “call”. This was my 6th place to schedule a visit to and i immediately fell in love. I came in for a visit and 30 minutes later I was a member. Duke is extremely professional and has a genuine interest in all of his members. He made me feel so comfortable and truly listened to what my needs were.

I was given the option to get 3 personal classes on what to expect, proper technique and form, etc and these only strengthen my excitement to join CrossFit Cervus.
It’s been 2 months since I joined and I honestly can say that I look forward to Mondays so I can go work out .I am impressed with the noticeable changes in my body in just 2 months and with the boost of confidence I have gained.
Now that I am a “crossfiter” I don’t think I would consider a regular gym instead of a CrossFit gym. Working out with a “team” is really neat and having that accountability of showing up is so important to me.
I’m currently going 3 times a week but I will be switching to 5 days a week in few months.

I didn't realize how wrong and far off I was on my nutrition until I started using the Cervus Strong Nutrition Program. Melonie is amazing and really made it easy for me to see where I was wrong/misguided and could improve. I saw results very quickly and kept at it for around 8 months.... And as of this review I'm down 30lbs and 4-5 inches on my waist. My strength and stamina have improved as a result plus it's easier to move when you're moving less weight. Don't wait, I wish I had started sooner!!!!

I was in the area for work and did a 2 week drop in at CF Cervus. I was fortunate to find a gym that not only offers early morning classes, but also provides quality coaching, smart programming, and a welcoming atmosphere. I have been doing crossfit for 2 years and have dropped into many gyms around the country. This facility is clean, well kept and well equipped. The programming follows a nicely balanced pattern throughout the week with strategic implementation of technique work, strength, and cardiovascular endurance. I very much appreciate the dedicated time to mobility and injury prevention - aspects that are often overlooked at other gyms. Beginners are eased in gradually in a strategic manner that minimizes any room for discouragement. Duke is a very attentive coach who is clearly passionate about the sport and his gym. I received some helpful pointers that I will continue to incorporate into my training. I really felt some improvements in my technique, even in 2 short weeks! The community was friendly and welcoming without the clicky toxic vibes I sometimes felt at other gyms. Overall, great experience!

I started at Cervus almost 1 1/2 years ago. I knew nothing about the gym, or the commitment I would be making and weather or not I could even do it. From the first time I walked through those doors I was greeted by the owner/coach Duke. I felt a little intimidated but empowered at the same time. I chose to take the leap to better myself physically and mentally and signed up. A year and a half later at the ripe old age of 45 I'm down 40 pounds 4 inches off my waist and I'm probably in the best physical shape of my life.
Walking into this gym unknowing what to expect, the on ramp program really set me up for success. Helping me understand the fundamentals and movements really helped me ease into the open gym setting. If your new to crossfit the on ramp program is definitely the way to go.
From the coaches to the members this place is like no other. The support system here is all encouraging. " We start together we finish together." The positive atmosphere is intoxicating to say the least. Met some great people here, proud to work out with them day after day. I'm hooked!!

A special thanks to the coaches Duke, Mel, and Jorden

I had been wanting to do CrossFit for years but was always too nervous to sign up for a gym. Through some trickery my wife scheduled me an appointment to meet the guys at Cervus, and I haven’t looked back since. This gym is basically my second home now, and the community feels like family. The coaching and programming has pushed me far past what I ever thought I was capable of, and I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. On top of the workouts the nutrition classes have taught me a ton, and I’m super excited with my progress.

I joined CrossFit to challenge myself. I won’t lie I was pretty intimidated about signing up. I don’t have the most fit body and would consider myself pretty out of shape. From my first meeting with Duke I realized that the culture there was nothing to do with my image but everything to do with bettering myself. The team like atmosphere is my favorite part. Everyone in there is there for the same reason to better themselves but when you are tired and don’t have it in yourself to push yourself your team steps up and pushes you in the best way. If it’s not just growth in fitness you are looking for, I highly suggest the nutrition program offered. Not only does Melonie know a lot about nutrition, but she tailors the program to fit YOUR lifestyle. I learned so much about food and how to work nutrition into my lifestyle without sacrificing the things I love. I cannot say enough about CrossFit Cervus. They have become a home to me.

Part of what makes Crossfit different than a gym membership is the community. Positive communities begin with knowledgeable and positive leadership.

Cervus Crossfit has this in spades!!
Duke, Jordan and Melonie are kind and very down to earth. On top of this they are constantly striving to improve the workouts and help members consistently improve.

If you are thinking about changing your current patterns and getting in shape just do it. Make the appointment.

10 minutes in this place and your going to feel welcome and any lingering doubts will start to fade.

The leadership is only the beginning. The members are amazing as well. It’s truly a pleasure to go to class and see these people. I learn something about fitness, fellow members lives, their goals or professions… every day. I look forward to spending time with the entire crew!

CrossFit Cervus has been my gym for 13 months now but it’s been my second home for almost as long. The community is incredible and I truly have gained multiple new very good friends from this “family”. It doesn’t matter your fitness level- we work together, root each other on (while having healthy competition) and continue to get better each week. The coaching is safe and pushes you without risking injury.

Special shout outs to Jordan and Mel for keeping my workouts tough and my nutrition on point 💪🏼

Jordan tells me when I need to scale and when I need to push and she has 100% success rate at being right. Couple stellar workouts with Melonie’s ability to tune in your nutrition for performance/gains or cuts and you have an awesome recipe for success.

So glad that Jane I showed up day 1 and was terrified I wasn’t “capable enough” to be here I stuck it out, because the changes in a year have been so exciting to experience.

I joined CrossFit Cervus after coming home from college for the summer and wanting to continue CrossFit workouts. I find that as a collegiate athlete, I feel considerably stronger and am able to get through my normal training schedule much easier after a few weeks of working out here. I also love the community I found here, which is so supportive and makes every workout a lot more fun.

I have been shown the utmost respect and patience in beginning my fitness journey. The coaches show a real, personal interest in helping me achieve my goals. I would definitely recommend CrossFit Cervus no matter your age or current fitness level.

Being in the military I knew I needed something more than just the traditional lifting. I’ve heard so many bad stories on doing CrossFit from injuries to “slinging weight around”. For those months that I was a member at CrossFit Cervus not once did I hurt myself or sling weight around. What I did learn was how to properly stretch, lift, and above all else have STRONG SHOULDERS! Coaches and members, I will miss you dearly. CrossFit Cervus has set the bar high for the next gym I join. - Rose

This is my first time trying CrossFit and I’ve been loving CrossFit Cervus! The coaches and the other members are a fun and welcoming bunch! The coaches are knowledgeable and always give me tips on ways to improve my form. Definitely recommend.

This was my first experience at a CrossFit gym. The staff is very knowledgeable and they care about making sure you are able to workout out safely and achieve the goals you set! The members here are great people who are constantly encouraging and challenging one another! Doesn’t matter if your lifting five pounds or five hundred, the effort is what is celebrated!! Highly recommend you give them a chance!!

Three months ago when I first joined I told Duke that my fitness goal was to be ready to run a half marathon. Today not only did I finish my half marathon, but I felt great doing it.

Since joining Cervus, I have been motivated, inspired and pushed to levels I didn't think I was possible of achieving. The environment and the team members here are so warm and friendly that you can't wait to come back the next day (especially waking up to come to class in the dark morning hours!!!) I am so grateful to be a part of this gym and this community.

Update: Two and a half years here and I'm still making progress. It is been a journey and I am now doing things that I would have never thought myself capable. Thanks, guys!
***********
This experience has been eye-opening. A few months back, my fitness level had stagnated and I was looking for something new and challenging. The community at CrossFit Cervus is supportive and fun. I've gone from not feeling comfortable at all with a bar to looking forward to taking it on. I have also felt encouraged, by Melonie and Duke, to treat my body better and make better choices. Kick Your Asana Yoga is also on-site, offering the practice of flexibility and balance, both which complement CrossFit movements. Loving this!
