    I’ve officially been a member of this CrossFit box for one year. I wanted to give it a year before posting an honest and unbiased review. After being a member of an extremely “clicky” CrossFit gym in Ft. Lauderdale, and many other fitness programs such as OT, Crunch, etc. I can truly say I have found a family here. Everyone from the coaches and members, to the on-site PT doctor have been beyond supportive. Most importantly, the programming is stellar. Class times are extremely flexible and aside from typical WOD classes they offer cardio based, barbell based, and Mobility based classes to hone in on particular movements. I can truly say I have become the best version of myself, physically and mentally. Looking forward to continue growing here, and would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a positive change in their lives and well being.

    I can’t say enough good things about CrossFit Big Guava! The owners go above and beyond to provide members with consistently great programming, effective coaching, and fun community events. I joined the gym 2 years ago with no CrossFit experience and was welcomed into the community with open arms. This gym truly means the world to me and I’m beyond grateful to have found it.

    The workouts are great, the fellow members are inspiring. The coaches and members create a great community within the gym! The workouts are led by knowledgable coaches who give feedback and adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement. There is a good array of class types and times for every schedule. The coaches seem to go above and beyond, especially with programming. Being new to CrossFit, the coaches take your personal skill level into consideration to come up with the proper scaled movements and are always there to teach you proper technique. I really loved the launch pad classes that gave a good introduction into the CrossFit world and all the movements before jumping into the bigger classes. It’s a life changing gym experience and I highly recommend it to everyone!

    LISTEN TO ME- this was my first Crossfit gym ever. Pretty much it was make or break whether I would even try Crossfit again. First, the gym is the most aesthetically pleasing with great equipment and utilization of the facility. There are so many classes offered at several different times throughout the day. NOOOO matter what level you are at (for me it was beginner AF), the coaches still assisted with my movements. It has almost been a full year for me within my CrossFit journey and I could not imagine going to another gym. EVER. The owners/coaches not only know their stuff- but they even get down and dirty with you on the workouts. Lastly, I relocated to the Tampa area and was transitioning out of active duty Army, wherein I was left with no community. CFBG created a welcoming well diverse cultured, community for my wife and I. Love this community and love CrossFit. :)

    I've had the pleasure to drop in at CrossFit Big Guava multiple times since moving back to the Tampa Bay. I have to say their coaching staff is TOP Notch. They always offer additional classes just beyond the WOD , whether it be Redline or other clinics . The gym is one of the CLEANEST gyms I've ever been to and the members really care. They are so inviting and even encouraging during the workout . Admittedly, I'm not in the best shape I've ever been but the coaches took the time to over modifications to still challenge me and work toward my goal of getting better. They have connections to massage therapists, chiropractors, physical therapist, nutritionists etc etc who come into the gym for treatments. The gym software is awesome , I receive text messages updates and fun invites like beach WOD or gym social event . The equipment is all in stellar shape! The bathrooms were the nicest bathrooms I've ever seen in a CrossFit gym, even boasting a shower... which is epic for a quick workout during a lunch break . Honestly , I live almost 45 minutes to an hour away and still purchased a punch card to be able to go whenever I can. Kudos Big Guava , you've created a great community.

    If there were more stars to give I would! I joined CrossFit Big Guava in April 2022, and it’s one of the best decision I have made. Everyone was so welcoming and encouraging. Not only do they produce some amazing athletes, they produce a community like no other. I have met some of the best friends in this gym, and have pushed past so many physical boundaries under their guidance. Thank you BG! If you are looking for a gym come check us out🖤🧡💚

    Excellent gym, amazing coaching, great programming, even better people. Crossfit Big Guava also offers several types of classes: crossfit programming, redline (partner based cardio-centered classes), and a barbell class that focuses on Olympic lifting and other strength building lifts. Highly recommend.

    5 stars isn't ENOUGH, where do I begin? Hands down the best Crossfit gym in the Tampa area. Coaching, programming and facility are top notch. The vibe is chill and welcoming and the workouts are expertly written. Good stock of protein and supplements as well. If you are looking to be a better version of yourself check these guys out NOW. You will not be disappointed.

    From my very first intro class I knew CFBG was the CrossFit gym I wanted to be a part of. Whether your goal is strength, weight loss, cardio, overall fitness, whatever it is CFBG has a class for what you need. Everyone is extremely friendly and supportive and I’ve already made great friends within the community!

  • 5/5 Serena D. 2 years ago on Google
    When I was looking for a new CF gym to call home, I went to basically every CF gym in the Tampa area. Big Guava was my last stop and after ONE class I made the decision. The programming is amazing and I’ve progressed more in 6 months than I did over 2 years at my last gym, but my favorite thing about CFBG is the staff. You are greeted by everyone when you walk in, and are made to feel important regardless of your skill level. They meet you where you’re at, and are constantly pushing for good form and reminding us daily how to better our movements and ourselves. I highly recommend CFBG — for skilled athletes and beginners and everyone in between.

    Great community of people and even better workouts! Their programming is so good! They are also very accommodating to all fitness levels and equally encouraging to all! The gym itself is top notch with nice equipment and very spacious. The coaches are super friendly and very helpful! Overall a great Crossfit gym! I’m proud to be a Guava!

    My wife and I joined this gym right after quarantine in June, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made! Not only are we achieving huge fitness goals quickly, we've made some great friends along the way. This Gym if full of awesome people between the coaches and members; everyone is super encouraging of your goals and are there to help you achieve them! If you're nervous about jumping into CrossFit (like I was) come try out their introduction class and you'll want to sign up immediately after. Big Guava is the coolest, most fun, best in class Gym we've ever been a member of!

    Love love love this place. The people are amazing. Doesn’t matter your skill level everyone there is super supportive and won’t let you fall thru the cracks. Fun, clean, safe and upbeat. If you have ever been curious about CrossFit look no further. This. Is. Home.

    CrossFit Big Guava is an awesome community that focuses on overall well being. The coaches are phenomenal and not concerned about how much you lift, but that you are doing the movements correctly and with intensity. They take the time to get to know you and meet you at your level to help you develop your full potential. They also have excellent program for the advance athletes. Come in for a session and check it for yourself.

    I am so disappointed to rate a gym this low, however reaching out has not resulted in any response. I am new to the area and joined CFBG last month. So far, I have been dissatisfied with the new app (Push Press) and the coaching. I received little feedback from the coaches during class and was never introduced during classes, which definitely did not make me feel welcomed as in previous CF gyms. I reached out to let them know I would be cancelling my membership and was told there was a six month contract with a cancellation fee. During orientation, I specifically asked about cancellation terms (as I am active duty and am often out of the area). At the time, I was told one had to give notice the month prior. I am disappointed in the apparent lack of communication between owners and would recommend finding a gym that perhaps is more established and has communications figured out between staff.

  • 5/5 Justin B. 2 years ago on Google
    The programming, community, coaches and the overall vibe here reminded me exactly how casual my workouts have gotten over the last 7 years. As a former casual lifter, I've never seriously done crossfit before becoming a Guava 11 months ago but now I can say that I've improved on all of the movements. The Open was my biggest wake-up call and I've sweat a LOT in this gym just to keep up with other athletes while the coaches are all on another level! Everyone is always friendly and welcoming so I'm sad to leave but since I'm moving to another state, that would be a hell of a commute! Keep it up Big G!

    Dropped in to do Open 23.1 on a Friday lunchtime class. Coach Jess was great. If I lived in the Tampa area this would be my box. Will definitely go back when I'm down for next year's tournament.

  • 5/5 Ashlee K. 2 years ago on Google
    I started at CFBG when I moved to Tampa in March, and I was blown away by how welcoming they were. I started with the five-class pass, and without hesitation, they included me with their Friday Night Lights for the CrossFit Open. I immediately joined and was stoked with the incredible community and how much the owners go out of their way to provide for their members. Yoga every other week, very diverse programming, and anytime I had a question, a coach was more than willing to answer. On top of all the fun stuff they do, whether it's a beach workout, a water slide at a hero wod, or just everyday badass energy, they are a special place to train. It's made me the fittest and happiest I have been in a gym, and I would highly recommend them if you need a new home. Thanks CFBG!

    Crossfit Big Guava made me fall in love with everything fitness. Sadly, I had to move back home, but they have set the standard for what a crossfit gym should be. The staff made me feel at home from the very beginning and the facilities are amazing. You wont find a crossfit gym like the Big Guava. Best gym in Tampa by far, dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

    When I started looking for a new CrossFit gym 3 months ago, I had 3 criteria that needed to be met. Affordable, close to home, and have barbell classes. CrossFit Big Guava has met and exceeded all of my expectations. They have 8+ CrossFit class times, plus barbell, redline, flush Friday, a free intro class, and launch pad for people who are new to CrossFit. While the programming is challenging, the coaches are more than happy to help you with scaling and suggesting other movements if you have an injury, and they love to see everyone succeed.

    CrossFit Big Guava is my favorite gym I've been a member of. We were there most days for 4 years. We loved the facility, the coaches and the programming. Each coach contributed in unique ways to my improvement as an athlete. It was really nice to have the accessory classes - Barbell and Redline - as options in the evenings! Saturday morning partner WODs were a favorite. Whether you are new to CrossFit, just looking for a drop in, or looking for a new home - Big Guava is your spot!

    CrossFit Big Guava has been the only place I have felt comfortable to work on my fitness in years. The environment is hard to beat and the knowledge of the coaches has made me a better athlete. I continued to workout here while pregnant and it made a world of difference in my pregnancy. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable on how to scale appropriately while also pushing you to be your best. Make CFBG your gym home!!
