CrossFit Fondren is the best and Coach Anderson is awesome! I started at zero with no prior exercise experience. He has been very patient in explaining the different movements as many times as it takes for me to get them. He scales the workouts for me to my current fitness level, so, I can get through them at an intensity that pushes me but still allows me to keep moving. You will always be greeted with a smile from the coaches and fellow classmates. Everyone has been very encouraging.

I love my gym so much and I believe it is the best in Jackson. I am a complete beginner at Crossfit and this gym meet every individual where they are. The coaches are extremely attentive and helpful while training. I think what I like best is the 1 on 1 help that I receive. When I first joined the gym, the head coach asked me what were my goals. We discussed them in such a thorough manner and I was sold immediately. After joining, I could tell that the workouts were so intentional. They were thoroughly researched and created to meet the needs of all the athletes in the gym. I knew I had picked a winning gym at that point. I would recommend this gym to anyone that are serious about functional fitness and increasing their athletic ability. It is the best around!

I struggled to find a gym that I actually enjoyed going to when I moved to Jackson that had the community I was looking for. One of the members had mentioned CrossFit Fondren to me and about 6ish months ago I decided to give it a try. I wasn’t disappointed! The gym community was everything I was looking for and more. The workouts are great and the members make it way more fun to work out!

Response from the owner · 3 years ago

We are glad you walked into gym that day and have been crushing workouts with us since then!
