CrossFit 8 Mile

I have been a member at CrossFit 8 Mile for almost a year and have had an amazing experience so far. The coaches are very knowledgeable and motivating, always pushing me to do my best and improve my form. The workouts are challenging but scalable to all fitness levels, so I feel like I am constantly making progress. The community at the gym is also fantastic, everyone is friendly and supportive, which makes working out there even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to improve their fitness and be part of a great community.

I've been to a few CrossFit gyms in the area, but 8 Mile is far and away the best of them. It's the first CrossFit gym I've joined and I don't plan on leaving any time soon. The facility is fantastic, the other members are fun and welcoming and each class time is truly like its own little family. The coaches are well-versed in all movements and know how to give feedback to each individual to improve their performance (and actually care about improving the members' performance). Whether you're a CrossFit veteran or just getting into the space, this is the place for you.

Fantastic coaches and a very welcoming atmosphere. The programming is great and coaches help members scale where needed. I finally found a gym again that I look forward to keep coming back to!

Hands down one of the most inviting and fun gyms I have ever been apart of! Coaches are super detail oriented, friendly and great communicators! Couldn't ask for a better place to train!

So happy I found the gym. Awesome coaches, awesome athletes

Excellent CLEAN gym with amazing coaches. My husband and I have always felt welcome here because the coaches and members do such an amazing job encouraging, teaching, and adjusting the workouts to help you reach your goals and succeed. The owner is so kind as well. If you’re worried about starting CrossFit, joining a new gym, or you’re just looking for a new workout- I think this will be the best gym for you!

Great gym! I attend here atleast 5 days a week! Coaches are amazing! Owner is very relatable, kind, helps you and very patient, you’ll even catch him working out in a class with you. Program is very effective im down 17 lbs in 2 months. An overall great environment to be in! You won’t be disappointed! Glad I came across this place!

Was in Detroit for work. Dropped in multiple times while I was there. The price was very reasonable and the price goes down for repeat visits, which is awesome. Everyone was super nice and the coaches were great. Multiple class times are available as well. The programming was also great. Variety of workouts in the time I was there. I would highly recommend CrossFit 8 Mile to anyone looking to do CrossFit in the area!

Was looking for a gym to drop into for the holidays, and was lucky enough to find crossfit 8 mile! The coaches and other members make you feel right at home. We brought a first timer, and they thoroughly explained the movements and the workout scale options. If you’re in the area and need a great workout with great people check them out!

Well kept facility with everything you need for a great CrossFit experience. Awesome coaches, welcoming community, and infectious energy!

I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone and everyone interested in fitness. The on-boarding / ramp up sessions were extremely helpful in ensuring I got off to a successful (and safe!) start with CrossFit. The trainers are all approachable and helpful (as are the other members). Despite the fact that I am older than dirt and not exactly 'in top shape' I never felt out of place or unwelcome. I know sometimes CrossFit gyms can have the reputation of being somewhat 'cult like' and intimidating, but this place is not like this at all. Don't get me wrong...the owners, trainers and members all take it seriously for sure, but the vibe is definitely one that welcomes everyone and is really supportive. You WILL work your ass off of course (it is CrossFit afterall!) but you will be thankful for it. I strongly encourage anyone interested in CrossFit to try out CrossFit 8 Mile. I have being going for a few months now and don't see myself leaving anytime soon!

Going from the couch to the gym was not an easy task, so if I can do it anyone can! The coaches are all AMAZING and made me feel so comfortable! They've challenged me to do things I never thought I could ever achieve. The workout is programed for you, your job is to just walk through the doors and do the best that you can! The comradery here is so amazing and like nothing you've ever seen. So if you're ever considering CrossFit, CrossFit 8 Mile is a wonderful place to start! I love my 8 Mile family!

This gym has made working out more of a fun hobby and less of a task. Everyday I come it is a new experience/workout that is challenging and empowering. The trainers and other cross fitters are amazing and supportive people. I have never been in better shape than since I joined this gym. #8milestrong

I have been going to CrossFit 8 Mile for almost exactly 9 months now. I can describe my experience there in two words - life changing. I was reluctant to try Crossfit, thinking that this type of exercise was for "really fit people", and I'd never make it through even one workout. I have to say, the coaches are some of the most knowledgeable around, and really want each and every individual to succeed. I was encouraged every step of the way, not only by the coaches but by the other members. I've never felt more welcome, have never been more fit, and never had "gym-mates" that are now like extended family. I think it goes without saying, I really love this place.

CrossFit 8 Mile is an amazing box, if you're thinking about trying CrossFit, think about 8 Mile. And the name? Couldn't be more awesome.

Voted One of the Best CrossFit Gyms in Metro Detroit!!!!! CrossFit 8 Mile is AMAZING!!! Great Coaches who take the time to know every member and ensure to work with each individual to achieve their ultimate fitness goal!!! If you are interested in CrossFit you MUST check CrossFit 8mile out!!

The best gym ever. Hands down. I’ve made so much progress here and it’s such a welcoming and educational environment.

When I think of Crossfit 8 Mile and its Barbell Club, one word immediately comes to mind: excellence. If I were granted a magic wish and could bring my dream athletic facility into existence, it wouldn’t look very different from Crossfit 8 Mile. Ideal not only for me, but for my athletically ambitious younger brother as well as my aging grandparents. Here’s why:

The facility itself is perhaps the best I’ve seen. It’s clean, stylized, and stocked with enough equipment to make even elite athletes giddy. It’s overwhelmingly clear that Nick’s pride of ownership carries through into every detail. That said, it’s not just a facility- it’s a place of serious athleticism.

It’s clear that Nick and the other coaches LOVE what they do. They’re serious athletes themselves and they’re always encouraging and helping members to better themselves. In my own case, I’d been a member not yet a week before Nick helped me signup for a weightlifting meet and along with the tireless commitment of Coach Josh, he proceeded to mentor me over the next two weeks with a whirlwind of instruction, preparation, encouragement, and planning as I prepared for the competition. Understand that I had minimal prior experience and that a typical training cycle leading up to a competition lasts around nine weeks. Two weeks later, Coach Josh drove across the entire state to coach me through the competition during which I made all of my lifts and achieved a total that qualified me for the State Championship. I’m confident that an athlete with elite aspirations in Crossfit, Weightlifting, Powerlifting, or Strongman would find everything they need to become a champion at Crossfit 8 Mile.

But despite being a place of serious athleticism, it’s also a strong and wonderful community open to people of all walks of life. Within days of signing up, I was being approached by dozens of friendly faces welcoming me and inviting me to community activities. During my short time there, I felt I’d acquired an entirely new set of friends and was touched by the zeal with which they cheered me on at my weightlifting meet as if we’d been longtime friends.

I should note that I’ve had the opportunity to visit many athletic facilities that cater to both elite athletes as well as people who are just looking to get in shape. In my experience, a divide often forms between the two groups and hangs over the culture of the gym. The elite athletes draw a majority of the attention from the coaches and everybody else gets overlooked. This leads to cliques within the gym culture in which friendliness does not extend outside each clique. Not so for Crossfit 8 Mile. From day one, it was clear to me that Crossfit 8 Mile is ONE community in which everybody knows and supports each other, be they an older mother dealing with medical challenges or a young athlete prepping for high-level competition.

In short, Crossfit 8 Mile is synonymous with excellence. Nick, Josh, and everybody else in the community, thank you!

Coach Ellie is always going to be one of my favorite people.

Coach Mark did a fabulous job on the class I took. Very knowledgeable, verbal, visual, tactful, and communicative.

Great gym, great trainers, great members. There's a wide variety of members at all fitness levels so no matter who you are, if you come to work, there'll be people there to support and motivate you.

I had a great time a few weeks ago WODing with the CrossFit 8 Mile crew. I was in town for a class reunion (which is to say I showed up for a 10 AM after a very late night) but was put at ease immediately by Coach Tymm and all the nice people there for the hero workout (Bradshaw!). The class was large enough in number so that there were some scaling and some RXing and small enough that there was space and I was introduced to everyone! My friends and hosts Dave and Cathryn made the introductions and helped me grab all I needed to get to work. Nice, supportive, laid back but strong people. And the CrossFit 8 mile T-shirt made an impression back at CrossFit South Brooklyn! Thanks everyone!
