CrossFit Sua Sponte

VERY SURPRISED!!!! I visit a lot of different gyms because of work. This one by far is my favorite (no offense to the others). Everyone was very welcoming. Coaches and athletes were friendly and inviting. Warm up, workout, coaching and atmosphere was top notch. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Sua for nearly a year now and have nothing but great things to say. The programming is excellent. They offer flexible class scheduling, with options in the morning, during lunch, and in the evening. The coaches are approachable and always ready to assist, whether you're trying to learn something new, enhance your existing skills, or tailor your workout to your specific needs. It's a gym where people of all skill levels can feel comfortable and work to meet their fitness goals.

There’s about 30 gym options within 10 minutes of my home and I’ve tried several. The competition doesn’t stack up to Sua Sponte. I love this gym. Have been a member for 3.5 yrs. It’s a spacious and clean facility with a great vibe for working out, and has very supportive and welcoming members. Ownership is solid and genuine. Everyone feels at home and owner invests in members by getting to know them and helping people achieve their personal goals. The trainers are fantastic (like my man JP !!!) and take time to work with you at your pace so you can learn proper movements. All workouts are easily scalable to your ability - from first time beginners to expert. Encourage anyone and everyone to check it out.

I can't express enough gratitude to the gym for kickstarting my CF journey. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special mention goes to Coach Steven, whose expertise has truly taken my athletic abilities to new heights, particularly in Olympic lifts, cardio, and strength training. I owe a huge thank you to Coach Steven, Brox, and Sophia for their amazing support. You guys have made a significant impact on my progress and I'm so grateful for all you've done.

Going to a new gym can be intimidating, especially a CrossFit gym! But from the moment my wife and I walked through the doors at Sua Sponte, we felt welcomed and included. The owner, John, came over and shook our hands, gave us some words of encouragement, and made us feel even more comfortable. All of the coaches are amazing! They know who the newbies are in each class and they take the time to make sure you fully understand each move. They seem to genuinely want you to enjoy your CrossFit experience and that makes a world of difference! Everyone we’ve met in the classes have been really nice as well and we’re thoroughly enjoying our journey to get stronger and healthier! Thanks John, Kanoa, Amanda, Ariana, Paige, Chad, and Steven!

I started at Sua Sponte about two years ago with no experience with CrossFit, weightlifting or fitness in general. The coaches are amazing and take the time to help every member, whether a novice or seasoned athlete. The community is extremely friendly and welcoming. I look forward to my workout every day and am amazed at how much I enjoy working out - something I never would have said two years ago!

I decided to informally stop by at Sua Sponte after trying a few places around Raleigh. After the first class, I knew it was the right place for me. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. The trainers are awesome; they really pay attention to your technique and form to make sure there are no injuries. So glad I joined! I feel great physically and mentally. If you want to do Crossfit, Sua Sponte is the place you need to be!

Sua Sponte has got to be the best CrossFit gym in the triangle. I grew up as an athlete, played a D1 college sport, played professionally, and STILL always hated working out - especially lifting weights. I started coming to Sua Sponte with a friend and fell in love with the atmosphere, coaches, and the diverse people who workout there - and then automatically the workouts (including the lifting) became fun as well. The coaches are very patient with beginners and continually give you little coaching points along the way, all without being too overbearing. Now Sua Sponte is a regular part of my weekly routine and I wouldn't change it for anything!

My wife and I joined Sua Sponte last summer after relocating to Raleigh and we have not been disappointed. Incredible staff and coaches! Excellent programming! They cater to the experienced crossfitter as well as to those individuals who are curious about crossfit, either with or without athletic backgrounds. I could go on and on about how great this place is.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked through the door for the first time, but I'm extremely happy that I did. The trainers are amazing, the workouts are always different and very challenging. You're not allowed to have bad form, which is very refreshing. The owner and staff are super friendly and make you feel apart of the gym right from the very first day. I've never felt intimidated because I couldn't do what some of these athletes do, but they encourage me non the less. I would wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone looking to change things up and get seriously fit very quickly.. With that said, you get out of it what you put into it!

I've never done crossfit before entering this gym. I've lifted weights for years but have always heard negative comments about crossfit and the form that was used. I can say Sua Sponte is the exception. The trainers and very friendly and hands on. The atmosphere here is very motivating. Everyone has been really supportive and understanding of my fitness goals and overall newbie status. I'd recommend Sua Sponte to anyone who wants to get serious not just about their fitness but their athletic performance also.

Sua Sponte has been a great experience for me. The structure and purpose of the workouts each day make it easier for me to get to the gym and stay in shape. Every one of the coaches are knowledgable in what they are doing, which keeps your muscles/body safe in the intense workouts. Wouldn't change a thing!

I don't take to gyms in general, and I don't take to fads in particular. I was wary of Crossfit hype, but had become friends with some folks who go there and got to know the owner, John. I took the plunge and found a really great community that is supportive and fun to be around. I also lost some middle age waistline. The coaches are awesome, going so far as to even hold one of my younger children while I worked out. The environment is non-judgmental and I laugh almost as much as I workout.

Simply the best coaches, and a great community. Anyone can do CrossFit, every move can be modified if necessary. You will do things you never thought you could, and everyone will be cheering you on. I recently had some significant shoulder surgery, and I recovered faster than I thought possible - shows the strength I had before surgery, and the motivation to get back into it, at the right pace. No better place to get your fitness on!

This place has something for everyone and all levels! As an almost 58 year old (and never a natural athlete) I am always made to feel at home and never judged. I have received top notch technical instruction and am always encouraged to do my personal best. Not only do the coaches excel at what they do, but the other members are great as well and it’s just a really fun place to go to!!!

Switched over from another gym looking for a place to work hard & de-stress. Sua has been the perfect place for me plus more. So inviting for a newbie to Crossfit. The coaches & members are amazing. We challenge & support each other & most importantly have fun!

Finally ready to see what all the hype was about, I stopped by Sua Sponte one Saturday to take a look. John stopped what he was doing to sit down with me to explain the methodology of CrossFit and the approach that he and the other trainers take. That next Monday night I went for a trial work out and knew right away (well... once I caught my breath) that this was the place for me. All the trainers know this stuff cold and are great teachers to a newbie to the sport! Thanks guys!!

If you're reading online reviews of local gyms with the thought of giving crossfit a try, then look no further. I've been a member at this gym for 3 years now and my only regret is that I didn't join when it first opened. The quality in programming and staff here at Sua Sponte is bar none, there is no comparison. I have found this time and time again as I travel often for work, and have had the pleasure of dropping in at several other boxes. So if your looking for a box to drop in at, or considering giving crossfit a shot, then look no further. You're not going to find a better gym.

Incredibly helpful coaches & an inspiring community of friendly folks. I have serious back problems (S1/L5 ruptured disc; was bedridden from April 20 to May 3 2017), but HAD to strengthen my back somehow. Thought about a personal trainer, but was told by a chiropractor that CrossFit could provide both the oversight, strength training, & accountability that I needed to advance my recovery. He was absolutely right! My muscles are sore, but my back is finally feeling strong again after nothing but pain for a long time.

I’ve been a member of a crossfit gym for a year now and decided to drop in at this gym while traveling. The coach Emily was fantastic and really attentive to everyone. The members were welcoming and the workout was challenging. I will definitely be visiting again when I’m in Raleigh.
