“Honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made joining CFJV. The gym is amazing and the owners/ coaches are some of the greatest people I’ve ever met. From CrossFitters to beginners they will help you in every aspect. They make you feel welcome and help improve not just fitness but overall life goals.“

Britt Harper

Client Since 2021

“I started coming to this gym to train for fire departments and I really liked what I saw when I first walked in and knew this was a good place to go. My trainer, Micheal, is very willing to listen to any concerns I have and work hard to help me make it to my goal. I use to be overweight and saw that me going to a gym on my own wasn't doing the most work for my body as I knew I could do. Since joining this gym I have lost 27 lbs!! I feel confident and stronger than ever!”
