Preme fitness/SS CrossFit

I’d like to start out by saying, that I have been working out at Stars & Stripes for over a year now. I am writing this because I had been to more than 5 CrossFit gyms in the area and this one has blown me away. The other gyms can’t even compare to Stars & Stripes. When I walk in I know that I will get amazing results and great coaches.

Coach Adam has been an unbelievably amazing coach to me.. I am 100% deaf, and upon learning this, he immediately started to learn how to sign in American Sign Language. His inclusiveness really helped alleviate my fears as a deaf person in a mostly speaking environment. Communication is a key part of CrossFit and he helps remove those barriers so that everyone can reach their fitness goals.

I highly recommend you to workout at Stars & Stripes CrossFit!

I had my first experience with CrossFit at SSCF and couldn’t have asked for a more friendly atmosphere! Adam, Mo, and John are amazing coaches and have created such a welcoming yet challenging environment. They encourage everyone to push themselves to their highest potential while promoting proper form and safe lifting. The best part is the people and I can say I have truly created lasting friendships from my time here. If you’re looking for a new box or to try CrossFit for the first time, come to SSCF! You won’t regret it!!

I had never tried CrossFit until about 6 months ago and I really enjoy my workout sessions thanks to Stars and Stripes CrossFit. It helps me de-stress, while helping me build strength! The coaches are super encouraging, knowledgeable and the atmosphere has been nothing but amazing and inclusive! The coaches focus so much on getting the form and technique right when it comes to simple and complex movements, overall, been a great/fun journey!

Where to begin?

I joined Stars & Stripes about 2 months ago now, and it's been quite a journey. Coming to the gym I had zero Crossfit experience and was nervous about the unknowns involved in making the leap. As with many people, Crossfit seems like a whole new ball game when compared to traditional lifting. I dropped by one day after work and was lucky enough to meet Adam and talk about the gym and about Crossfit. This was a great gesture, that was not necessary, and really helped alleviate any of the anxieties I had. The next day I started at Stars and Stripes and haven't looked back since.

The gym is small enough to be personal, yet big enough to never feel cramped. The community at Stars & Stripes has far exceeded any of the other gyms that I have gone too. I really can't say enough about how great the people here are. The quality of the workouts have been great. Every workout, every day, every week I feel challenged and kept on my toes learning new things. The coaches and the community have been extensively helpful in my personal growth at the gym thus far and I cannot wait to see where some more time and dedication takes me. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone considering.

Stars and Stripes, is more than just a gym, it's a community. No matter what skill level or experience, each time you show up for a workout the trainers will make sure YOU are improving. Not pushing you to lift as heavy as biggest guy or run as fast as the best runner, but you bettering yourself. Classes offered at a variety of times to fit any schedule. Would highly recommend.

Stars and Stripes CrossFit has become my "Home away from home". The Trainers are extremely nice and VERY knowledgeable. The way I was treated not only as a newbie to CrossFit but as an adaptive athlete 2 yrs ago was VERY welcoming and their willingness to adapt the WOD's for someone in my position was unmatched. I would strongly recommend Stars and Stripes CrossFit for not only the person looking to try it but the advanced athlete as well.

The trainers are amazing! They find what works to motivate each athlete and then push to get the most out of each of us. No matter your fitness level, they work hard to make CrossFit available to everyone. New members are warmly met and feel like they belong.

Melissa & the team are welcoming and helpful for anyone new to crossfit. They spend ample time ensuring your form is correct and answering any questions that you have. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

I’m from chicago where we have EVERYTHING. This gym is awesome. Adam and his staff (I have not met Melissa yet, looking forward!) is friendly and knowledgeable and they’ll crush you in the best and safest way possible. Will be back every week.

Been going there for 3 years since a knee surgery and couldn't be happier. Great instructors who really care about you individually. Also great classmates. Planet Fitness may say "no judgment zone" but Stars & Stripes exemplifies it. All levels and all abilities working together to each be better in their own program. Give it a try!!

Have been coming to Stars and Stripes CrossFit (SSCF) for more than 2 years. I love the small classes and the personal attention you get when working out here. Coaches are good with explaining the workout and the techniques involved. The other best part is the community you gain when come here, everyone is happy to help and welcoming. Highly recommend the place.

Wow!! Where do I start, well I started in March '19?!!! 😏 I was looking to up my game mentally and physically. I hit the gym frequently, but Stars and Stripes is a lot more than just working out. I was anxious at first that I wouldn't get it, but the coaches started things slowly and before I knew it I was surprising myself!! New work-out partners became friends, and those friends turned into family.......they hold you accountable and are always there rooting you on to do your best!!! I also enjoy yoga at SSCF every Sunday, it's a nice way to wind down and stretch those muscles out after a long week of working them out. I couldn't be happier w/my results and my decision to join Stars and Stripes Crossfit!!! Thank You Mo, Adam, Joe, Katie, John and Caroyln!!

If you want a competitive environment where you will pushed hard, yet also have instructors who will take the time to work with you one on one, this is the gym you should consider. Workouts are tailored for everyone from athletes to beginners and it’s an awesome place to meet new people and better yourself physically. I highly recommend giving it a try.

This cross fit changed my lifestyle in such a positive way. Coaches are amazing, they care about each individual and their needs. Coaches create safe environment to have an open conversation.

Recovering from a severe injury that potential was going to leave me with limited mobility to being in the best shape of my life, the crew at Stars and Stripes has transformed me. They care and are personal while being their to encourage and help meet and exceed your goals! Not just another gym, a family their for you every step of the way! I encourage everyone to stop in, meet the crew and get on your way to becoming the best you can be!

I have been a member for a year and I can say that discovering Stars and Stripes has been a life-changing experience. Never since elementary school have I enjoyed anything remotely athletic. Gym class and working out had felt like a negative experience most of my life because I felt like I didn't fit in, so any kind of exercise program I tried was a short-lived experience.

What's different about SSCF is the expertise, experience, and knowledge of the exemplary trainers, along with an abundantly supportive, yet challenging atmosphere and sense of community. Every workout planned is different and very challenging; it never gets boring and I never feel intimidated or lose any sense of motivation. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Stars and Stripes Crossfit helped me tremendously with my body conditioning and strength. All the coaches are very patient and knowledgeable. My favorite part is the great coaching and the members that support each other. Thank you Mo, Adam and Joe.

4 months ago, I made the leap into Crossfit. I was hesitant due to the public perception of what Crossfit is and if it would be right fore me. I had been a loyal member of LA Fitness, but over the years I began to feel worse. My cardio was not where it needed to be, but I did not have the motivation to run endlessly on the treadmill. My workouts began to suffer and the 90+ minutes I spent there began to be a waste. I gained weight and began to feel worse than I expected at 30 years old. Stiffness in my hips and lower back developed which made life a bit more difficult.

This all led me to sign up for one month to see what Stars and Stripes was all about. Keeping my LA Fitness membership just in case. After one month I was hooked. Each day is unlike the last, workouts are ever changing and challenging. Adam, Melissa, Joe, and John give us individual attention in small group settings. This allows them to monitor our form, motivate us, and adjust workouts to fit all fitness levels. I feel like I did in my younger years, gaining strength and conditioning that I was lacking. Cardio is much easier when it is disguised within workouts like it would be if playing sports. I have reduced my pain and stiffness since Stars and Stripes gets my body moving in different ways that doesn't include sitting on a machine or weight bench. Losing a few pounds has been the cherry on top of it all.

It would be a disservice if I did not comment on the community Stars and Stripes has. Everyone is a great teammate and pushes each other through days when many of us could have easily stayed home. They run many events like in house competitions, boot camp style workouts, run clubs, barbell club, etc.

My only regret is that I had not found them sooner, it has been the best decision I've made in my fitness journey. I encourage anyone to try it out and experience everything I have in my time at Stars and Stripes.

In short, I would recommend Stars and Stripes CrossFit to anyone. My experience with SSCF was honestly phenomenal. Their trainers are kind, intelligent, passionate, and well researched in their own fields of study. As a fitness professional myself, I can truly say that I frequently look back at my experience with SSCF as foundational to my success in the wellness world.

If you are a novice exerciser, new to CrossFit, or perhaps looking for a new Avenue of exercise, here you will find help from staff that is supportive, patient, and experienced. If you are an experienced exerciser, an athlete, or a CrossFit veteran, here you will find help from staff that will push you to meet your goals, drive you to success, and inspire a strong and sturdy community.

At Stars and Stripes CrossFit, they have something for everyone. I would recommend SSCF to friends, colleagues, clients, and even my own grandparents. The trainers collaboratively have a wealth of knowledge that is truly tremendous and exhaustive. I was a regular member at SSCF a couple of years ago and I’d personally still be a member today if I didn’t move out of the region. Give SSCF a shot, they have a wide array of membership types and will work seamlessly with you and your schedule. Get started today - you won’t regret it!

I am going on my fourth year of membership, and slowly approaching my mid-forties. Stars and Stripes CrossFit has given me a life changing experience. Stress relief, a well rounded fitness regiment, and a great community of friends. I couldn't recommend it more.
