Love this gym! Extremely knowledgeable coaches, variable programming, and classes every day of the week on top of having 24/7 access. Not only get a great workout but also get to meet a lot of great people.

This gym is a gem. The coaching staff is friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The community is a great mix of people at varying stages of life, I've met new moms, young working adults, and students all in the same class. I will say that compared to other CrossFit gyms I've tried in New York, Seattle, and Hawaii, this gym in particular does a great job with its regularly scheduled classes. The programming is always on point and the scaling is always clearly written on the board. I would like to make note that no one is engaging with you to push yourself in a way that might invite injury -- which is very important to me. Their guidance and support is always towards proper form, safety, and growth. With regards to the community, this box has a great number of individuals who are competition ready. It really is a place for beginners up through competition level training. The base classes are perfect new comers and intermediate level fitness. If you're looking to push yourself above and beyond that, the coaches very clearly have plenty of experience with making that happen. The main room can support a surprising number of people without encroaching on another persons space. I've been to a lot of the Saturday partner work outs, and it has been a lot of fun meeting other people during those sessions. It's always hard meeting new people when you move into a new city, which for me was this past August, and I can't emphasize enough how happy I was to stumble upon this gym. If you are interested in investing in your physical fitness, engaging with a warm welcoming community, and or just want to have people support you while you move heavy objects, take a class at the gym and don't be afraid to introduce yourself. Cheers!

I absolutely LOVE coming to BCCF. I started here about 18 months ago, VERY nervous about restarting CrossFit after taking six years off and having two babies during that time. I had a personalized onboarding program that helped me ease back into things at my own pace, which was amazing. I love the mix of programming options, between the barbell classes (which have been incredibly helpful to assist with form and technique with the Olympic lifts) and the CrossFit PRVN workouts and endurance classes. I’ve gotten so much stronger since coming to BCCF, and the welcoming and supportive community + wonderful coaches keep me coming back every week. The 24 hour access is great for weeks when my schedule doesn’t allow me to attend a workout. BCCF has been a huge part of my fitness journey this past year and I’m grateful for it!

Really REALLY great CrossFit gym for a number of reasons. • The coaches are really friendly and knowledgeable. I’m getting back into CF after having a baby and they’re always willing to help me scale the workout to my current abilities. • No culty weirdness. Just nice community vibes. • Air conditioning for the summertime! • The equipment is in good condition and maintained well. The space itself is a little rough and ready, as you’d expect for a CF gym, but it’s clean, which is a win for me.

Bull City CrossFit is awesome. The coaches are great, and there are classes offered at many times to fit your schedule. You also can access the gym 24/7. I mostly participate in the barbell program! Ive become so much stronger & more capable at both lifts. I’d say it’s great for both newbies and experienced lifters; some people join the barbell classes to learn or improve their Snatch & Clean&Jerk while others train to compete in local meets.

SEVEN Reasons I Think This Is The Best CrossFit Gym in the Triangle. HANDS DOWN: 1. Best Price for Unlimited classes AND 24 hour access AND 24 hour access is included in price. Many gyms don't have 24 hr access. Other gyms add extra expense for it. Plus - it's still the cheapest Gym for unlimited classes alone! Win-win - win. 2. 24 hour access! I can't stress enough how helpful this is for getting workouts in when you don't have the time to make a class. There have been so many times when I would have just not exercised had I not had the 24 hour access. Plus if you want to grow and develop a skill further out of class schedule BOOM full gym to do so. 3. Barbell Class. 3 times a week. Full programming. But that's not all. That's point 1. Point 2 is that it's taught by a current North American Olympic lifting champion. Some gyms have a barbell class but not all do! And to have expert coaching as a part of it is a huge benefit - and completely free. 4. Every class is incorporated into the Beyond The Whiteboard app! In and of itself it is $8 per month otherwise! (See point 1 and now add $8 of free value). This might seem like a small item but it's actually a big plus because the app is definitely one of the highest level fitness tracking apps. It provides far more workout analytics, functional details, lift PR tracking, in-depth aspects, etc than any other app on the market. 5. Longevity classes. This is a great idea that I have not seen in any other gym. It's a class for older clients and includes stretching and more mindful dynamics, but all of the strength development skills that come from functional fitness. Plus no one is allowed to drop a barbell in the background so it's kept mindful of noise as well! 6. Endurance classes. Classes focused on different fitness development goals that sometimes can include lower weight higher volume barbell movements or movements of every kind. This is a huge plus to offset focused periods of strength development, or for those more fearful of injury under heavier weights. 7. PRVM Programming. OK a number of gyms might follow PRVN, but in all of the programming I have personally participated in I feel like it is the most evolved and in depth for growing your fitness and CrossFit path. Side points - an additional website for class sign up, additional weekend programming, full side room for during class work, PT provider on site for additional needs (for a cost), nutritional coaching available (for a cost), personal training available, periodic in house Olympic lifting competitions, and over all and in all HUGE ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY. (Not to mention it's appropriately in a grungy ugly strip mall which has zero curbside appeal, as you would want any true Crossfit Gym to be!)

This box has the best onboarding package for newcomers that I've seen. The owner of the box was incredibly helpful getting me started and answering any questions. I'm beginner-intermediate in my fitness journey. There was always a scaled option for me to challenge me but not leave me in the dust or injured, which I really appreciate. That being said, there are quite a bit of high achievers as well, so I'm sure there is a competitive aspect if that is what you are looking for.
