Metcon Long Beach (Formerly Crossfit Belmont Heights)

Dropped in with a large group and was amazed with the experience. First, all the members were so kind and welcoming. They made us feel right at home. Space was great and the coach was super helpful with scaling some of the movements. If you are looking for a home gym or a place to drop in, I would definitely check them out!

I wandered into Metcon Long Beach (Formerly Crossfit Belmont Heights), unsure of my fitness goals and ambitions. However, shortly after, I was convinced I had found the right place. I was greeted by friendly staff and encouraged to talk to HR Carlos. Connor and Carlos ( Staff) allowed me to try out the class for that day. That same time, I witnessed the family environment coupled with challenging workouts. My classmates stepped through the door with a big smile and paired up with me. The instructor ( Chris) carefully demo each exercise and patiently correct my form to avoid injury.

METCON is a great gym, and I encourage anyone interested in working out surrounded by good vibes and under the supervision of a coaches to come and check it out.

Joining Metcon was one of the best decisions I made when moving to Long Beach. They were very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. I was pretty new to this style of training and was a bit nervous. Well, there was no need to be and from the moment I met Amanda and signed up, I knew it was the right fit. All the coaches and members are very supportive, they work with you, challenge you, and help you to be your best. I work out mostly in the evenings with coach Edmond who is super dedicated to helping us achieve our goals and constantly pushing us to new levels. Metcon has truly become one of the things I look forward to most in my day.

When I moved to Long Beach, I shopped around for a gym for a year before settling here - I’m only a couple months in and I love it! From the strong coaching that focuses on form to the welcoming community of members to the themed programming to ensure we’re consistently improving in core areas throughout the cycle, they had everything I was looking for and everything I loved from my last gym. Whether you’re trying to find your gym home or just looking for a good workout while passing through, I highly encourage you to give Metcon LB a try!

I love this place! I joined four months ago because I wanted to build muscle, drop body fat, and learn proper weightlifting form for different movements. What I wasn't expecting is how much more motivated I would feel working towards my goals in community!

This community is so kind, supportive, friendly, and generous. There are ways that this gym intentionally incorporates opportunities for community building and they've really established a super supportive culture. I never feel like I'm competing with anybody except myself and there are always people who are cheering for me, giving me a high five/fist bump/pat on the back, and saying "great job!" The coaches know their stuff when it comes to teaching proper form and they've been able to adapt all exercises for my ankle injury. They're so good at making it fun while encouraging you to do your best. As someone fairly new to weightlifting, I feel like I've gotten plenty of support from them on using proper form.

In the four months that I've been going, I now come 5 days a week, have lost 10 lbs, and have increased the amount of weight and reps that I can do in all of the weight lifting movements we've done. My cardio stamina has noticeably increased and I've met so many lovely, inspiring, and uplifting people!

I knew this was my gym the moment I saw their float in the Long Beach Pride Parade. Metcon Long Beach has become my fit family. Coach Amanda and Edmond are amazing. They will gently push you to be your best self and go out of their way to make new members feel included. As the kid who was always last when running the mile in middle school, could never do a push-up, and was scarred by the Presidential Fitness Test, I am amazed by how strong I’ve gotten and how much my endurance has grown. Edmond’s programming rocks. I just did 6 consecutive strict push-ups today for the first time ever in my life. The sense of community at this gym also got me through the dark days of quarantining and has continued to be the source of maintaining my mental health. I am truly grateful Metcon Long Beach.

Great CrossFit gym. The trainers are motivating, the community is supportive, and the diverse workouts deliver results. Highly recommend!

I was in Long Beach for just a few days and did a couple of drop in classes. The vibe was great and the workout was even better! Encouraging community, helpful instructors, and meaningful workout structure. Nice way to keep up with fitness goals while traveling from out of town.

Awesome gym centrally located, clean, great WOD, superb community, and great coaching. I'll definitely be back!

I scheduled a drop in on my work trip and the process was smooth and the workout was great. I arrived early and met the coach who was friendly and helped me get set up for the WOD. I also received some constructive form correction on one of the movements which helped. I will be returning when I am in town again.

Chris, AJ, Edmond, and Amanda were all great coaches in my short time with Metcon LB. Truly appreciate the professional coaching and moments of fun and humor each of them sprinkled into the workouts. It's a clean gym, in a great area, with very friendly people.

I am incredibly grateful that I was able to spend my first time in Long Beach working out with this crew here! All of the coaches and the members as well, we’re also welcoming and including! The energy here is awesome. Thank you so much to the coaches for making me feel like one of their athletes! Y’all ROCK! I hope to be back someday soon!

That summer body you want

I came to Long Beach with zero friends or acquaintances. Initially, I was really anxious about joining a CrossFit gym because I didn’t know all the exercises and fear of judgment. The gym is not like that at all. Everyone here is super friendly.

I also hurt my lower back before I came to the gym from doing deadlifts poorly. We really go through the movements every class to prevent injury. Deadlifts are now my favorite exercise.

I do the nutrition program as well. I went from eating out and frozen foods to meal prepping and counting my macros. I definitely leaned out from my 7 months of nutrition.

Definitely check it out. I had been thinking about doing a CrossFit gym for 3 years. One of the best decisions of my life and an enhances my overall happiness.

Shout out to all the coaches (AJ, Amanda, Chris and Edmond) because I’ve learned so many perspectives to improve my lifts.

Some events that we did:
Hiking
Beach clean up
Halloween party
Christmas party
Beach day

Plus you’ll meet the funnest people you’ve ever met 😜

I dropped in over the past weekend. Great facility and good coaching.

I started CrossFit and trained at another gym in Long Beach for about four years, but at a certain point I felt like it was time to move on and find a different box. I’ve been to about 50 CrossFit gyms on four different continents, so I have a really good sense of what I like and don’t like in a gym. I can usually spot the good, the bad, and the ugly really quickly. I had planned to try out several gyms in the area for a few weeks each before deciding where I wanted join. But after just a few days at CFBH I didn’t feel the need to try out any others and signed a year contract. Everyone was really welcoming and friendly from day one, and I’ve loved it ever since. I’m really happy I found this one, and it feels great to be a part of their community.

Very friendly members, great programming. Excellent coaching and the owners are sincere and genuine. During covid they've gone above and beyond to provide excellent value. I feel welcome here and look forward to my workouts. They scale as needed and push me to be my best

I have been a proud member since Crossfit Belmont Heights since it opened four years ago. Nick, Jess and all of the coaches have built an amazing community. They are well trained, push you beyond your limits and make Crossfit fun! 5 out of 5 stars!

**As of 09/01/20 still an unlimited member. (3 years) I love that they are releasing the workouts for the week now. They also release a version that can be done with a BB, DB, KB, or bodyweight. And they allow options if you can’t or don’t want to run, etc..If you have a need to modify, say something. I often do. I am planning to train for a mini triathlon as soon as they start having them again. I wouldn’t be able to do that without MetconLB as my base. You won’t find a better community of people**

I was brought into Crossfit and this amazing place late Sunmer of 2017. Excellent coaching, good natured people, so many social events, 3 big bathrooms with top notch showers. The owners Nick and Jess have been a God send and really care about this place and the people, their coaches. They really work hard to ensure your experience, end to end is on point. Over a year later and I am in the unlimited membership but they have multiple affordable options considering what you get. They have weightlighting, yoga, cardio classes (Pulse) and true crossfit classes. Lastly, they have some of the best designed merchandise around. Drop in!! Jenn M

Popped in whilst in town with work and was immmediatly made to feel at home by the coaches and the people training there. Super friendlly, supportive and knowldgable and whenever im back inn Long Beach from London will definitly be taking part in another session

The. Best. Gym. Ever. I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The coaches are awesome and the space is perfect. I've been to probably 10 other CrossFit gyms and this is the best I've ever experienced--the workouts, the community, everything. Best decision I've ever made for my health and fitness. You must must check CFBH out!
