Powered by GoogleI recently started taking the 55+ classes. I was really intimidated to even take a class. I figured it would be way above my abilities & physical limitations. I was wrong. The instructor Viktoria is very knowledgeable. She listened to my concerns & showed me modifications of some the exercises that I was afraid to do (Ive got a wonky knee). I absolutely loved my first & subsequent classes. No doubt, I will enjoy my future ones as well. Just for the record I’m a 69 year old female. I highly recommend this gym. Knowledgeable instructors & they constantly keep an eye out to make sure you are doing your moves correctly. The whole atmosphere at the gym is friendly & upbeat.
Viktoria and Damian are awesome. There are only great things about my experience at CrossFit A-Game in the short time I have been a member. Every workout is a challenge but with the encouragement of the coaches and people in class I have increased by fitness to a different level. The small classes and gym atmosphere is a perfect fit for to help with achieving my fitness goals.
I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience at CrossFit A-Game in the short time that I have been a member. From day one, Damian and Viktoria took an interest in helping me achieve my personal fitness goals, whether it is teaching a new workout or suggesting a way to improve my technique or modify an exercise. They are passionate about their craft, and it shows in their coaching. The experience here is way more than what you will ever get at a $20 a month gym. The camaraderie with the other members is an awesome motivator, helping to keep you accountable while making the classes fun and getting a great workout. I have never looked so forward to waking up at 5am as I do now.
I was nervous doing something this far out of my comfort zone. Fear quickly faded after my first session at Ares. Although I have only been a member for a few weeks, the mental and physical transformation I feel is amazing. Owners/coaches Viktoria and Damian are top notch fitness professionals who are knowledgeable, motivating, supportive and caring. Each day is a new challenge with a one of a kind, full body workout that is conducive for any age or fitness level, whether you are a beginner or advanced. Members are down-to-earth that truly enjoy helping others to do better and achieve their fitness goals. If you want to become the best version of yourself and achieve a healthy lifestyle, I highly recommend this place!
Dropped-in for a week while vacationing in LBI. Damian was a great coach. We did some wods and workouts that I had either not seen before or were rather new. He pointed out some things in a few of my movements that I had no idea I had been doing for many years. I could tell that he cared about the finite mechanics of the body and the movement and he was able to quickly recognize these things in a new athlete. I highly recommend folks give this place a shot if you're in town. I'll be back.
