I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and wanted to find a gym that would feed my competitive nature but that also had a sense of camaraderie- I found Riptide and it exceeded my expectations. I appreciate how inclusive it is; there are many different skill levels but the workouts can be modified to everyone’s unique ability. The coaches are clearly very trained and knowledgeable and are quick to help. If you’re looking to get in shape and/or try a different workout style, check out Riptide!

Such a nice, clean place and very friendly and positive environment. The staff are super awesome, too. I felt very welcomed! I finally found the gym that fits my needs and made me feel comfortable.

Everyone is so motivating and encouraging! Hands down best workouts I’ve ever had, and each work out is different, challenging and exciting! I highly recommend checking them out, you won't regret it!

I just completed my second class and I am hooked. Being out of shape, most gyms are intimidating and tend to feel judgmental. I also have a hard time motivating myself with home workouts

Speaking from someone that hasn’t worked out In the last few years and has a desk job - This crossfit is by far exactly what I needed to get hyped about working out! I used to go to all types of gyms for years but I never “wanted” to go. Coming into CrossFit Riptide after a long break from fitness, I felt immediately at home with the trainers and everyone there. The community and overall vibe is so welcoming and fun! They are really caring and accommodating to everyone on their personal fitness journeys. They value each person that walks into the “box” and truly want to see everyone succeed. It doesn’t matter your fitness level or if you don’t have one, the trainers are super knowledgeable and will guide you on the right path! I love this place! Thank you Riptide for being amazing!

Came during a weekend when I was visiting and Nate and everyone there were super welcoming. I joined a class and absolutely enjoyed it! Everyone pushed and motivated each other, and the vibes were all positive. Definitely got a hell of a work out in, highly recommend this to any one who is in the area and looking to get a great workout in!

Riptide is the best gym I found in Fort Lauderdale!! I tried a bunch of different gyms with Class Pass and different promotions. I knew from the first class it would be my gym. Riptide has an amazing community and it feels like family. Everyone is super encouraging, nice and the coaches are hilarious. They have great class times and a perfect facility. Finding this gym enhanced my time living here and I am very thankful for it. Nate, JT, Elise and Santi are the best!! I could recommend this gym enough. It’s simply the greatest ever.

I love the location and convenience of Riptide CrossFit. The equipment is clean and well maintained. The trainer is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and has never made me feel uncomfortable. Recommend!!

Riptide is a great place that encourages growth both in and outside of The Box! The coaches are knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions. Come on down and check it out!

Riptide CrossFit is my fitness family! It's the only CrossFit gym I've ever known. I've built amazing friendships, gained strength I never knew I had, and learned so much about fitness here. The coaches and the community make every workout feel like home. From beginners to seasoned athletes, Riptide offers not just fitness sessions, but an unparalleled sense of belonging. It's a place where you find support, motivation, and a bunch of high-fives. I'm grateful for the incredible camaraderie, personal growth, and fitness milestones!

Dropped in for a couple classes while in town last month. Very friendly and helpful coaches and members, good class design, great facility. Would definitely return!

I had the pleasure of training at this gym while in town for a few months. It was my first time trying CrossFit and I realized very quickly what all the fuss was about… it’s addictive. The coaches are outstanding and go the extra mile, the gym is always clean and classes are on time! From someone who formerly struggled with no upper body strength, and sever ILS (invisible lat syndrome)… I could see the changes on my body and feel the positive change in my attitude and mindset. If I could I’d rate this gym 10 stars

Riptide Crossfit has absolutely help me get in great shape, it's not as dangerous as some people would have you believe! All the coaches are great as I tried them all because of some recent injuries issues and to see which coach was the best match for my 11 year old son who loves to work out with his mama because I'm killing it thanks to them. My body as a women and mother has help me shed excess fat, build strength, and accentuate muscle tone. I was very intimidated to bulk up with this type of exercise with my pilates instructor background.

Great coaches and great community. Been doing crossfit here about 6 months and been doing nutritional coaching with Santi for a few months and definitely have started seeing the results that I've been working for. Would highly recommend checking out Riptide!

Dropped in during vacation on 08/09 and 08/10 and had a great experience. I've done drop ins before and I am used to not receiving much coaching, but coaches JT and Mike did an amazing job in helping me with my handstand walks and Mike made sure I came back in from the run without getting lost. I would gladly drop in here again!

I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and this was the closest gym to apartment. I’ve never been happier finding this amazing community and meeting all the amazing people that go to this gym. All the coaches are knowledgeable and friendly and help coach you through every workout.

Very happy with everything thus far! We’ve been coming to as many classes as is physically possible and each one of them have been really fun and challenging. It’s a very friendly and relaxed environment to workout in which makes to whole experience so much better. Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

Great communication. Great atmosphere. Great community. The vibe here is so friendly, we couldn't get over how nice everyone is. We were able to drop in 3 times while on vacation and do 2 of the open workouts. They have amazing coaching. Some of the best coaching we have seen and we have dropped into gyms all over the country and world. They are not just there to get people in and out of classes, they genuinely have a passion for crossfit and want to see people succeed. Thanks for a great experience. Would definitely visit again and hope to.

I started at Riptide CrossFit with no previous CrossFit experience whatsoever. The coaching staff immediately made me feel very welcome there and I have been enjoying it ever since. All of the coaches are great and provide all the guidance you could ever possibly want, the social community at the gym is also amazing. Classes are set up with an emphasis on reinforcing appropriate lifting/exercise techniques which is great for beginners who are new to certain movements such as olympic lifting or more advanced members who are looking to refine their technique. I highly recommend this gym!

Riptide CrossFit is 100% the best gym in Fort Lauderdale. The coaches are super attentive, knowledgeable at all movements and happy to provide scaling options if you’re not wanting to do the full workout as prescribed. The whole gym coaches and members are super welcoming to new members and drop-ins. Definitely stop by.

Dropped in and the coaches were kind enough to judge me for 22.1! They were super welcoming and cheered me on and I absolutely loved it! Thank you!

I’m new to CrossFit and was worried I wouldn’t fit in. This Riptide coaches and members are super welcoming and friendly! Now my husband and I come together and are enjoying the workouts as we get better and better at them ! Coaches Nate and JT are awesome

While I am not a member of this box, I had the great pleasure of being coached by the the owner, Santi, at a CrossFit Level 1 coaching course. He was an awesome instructor/coach, as part of an outstanding team of coaches. You are lucky if you are at Riptide with Santi at the helm. Also, the CrossFit L1 course is a great way to up your game even if you are not coach material (and especially if you are).

As a fellow box owner, I had a great time dropping in. Coaches have incredible experience and foster an encouraging environment. I have no doubt the team at Riptide will help you achieve your fitness goals. If you live or work in the area, this is where you want to be.

I love Riptide! I was intimidated to try CrossFit but I soon found out there was nothing to be afraid of. The coaches are amazing and the community is very supportive. I have so much fun each time I go to class and I am learning a lot! 10/10 recommend for anyone, of any level!

Ive been seeing Coach Nate for OLY training for the past 4 months, if it wasn't for him I would not be where I am today in such a short time period. I have PRd all of my lifts by 20+ pounds, gained nutritional insight, and boosted my self confidence in all my lifts. Coach Nate takes the time to go over EVERYTHING he teaches you all the lifts with proper technique and takes the time to make sure his athletes understand and progress in this sport. Not only have I gained such an amazing coach I have gained a family at riptide that all find lifting as passionate and as fun as I do. Every other coach and member is beyond welcoming and show you inclusivity and what a Crossfit/Lifting community is suppose to be. Coach Nate opened his doors and coaching experience to me and I have seen nothing but progress and gained amazing mentorship. I am beyond excited to have Coach Nate by my side throughout my OLY journey and for my first OLY meet this summer!!!!

Nate Gonzales is one of the best coaches I have ever met. His ability to teach the technique and extract the best of me has helped me a lot on the past six months. Also, I’ve had the opportunity of a buy in at Riptide CrossFit at the end of 2020 and it was awesome! Great gym and great atmosphere! It’s a shame I don’t live in Fort Lauderdale! Otherwise, Riptide surely would be my first choice of box for training. Thank you!

Well, I went in for a trial week and never left. I love the atmosphere, coaches and ever evolving workouts that kick my butt and keep me humble. I have tried many gyms over the last 15 years, but I found a home at Riptide. I am in the best shape of my life and I've gained a community of support. I'm excited to see what the future holds at Riptide.

10/5 stars! The best thing about this gym is the community. Every class is welcoming and inclusive and everyone is supportive of each other. The coaches set this tone by treating each member like family. It doesn’t matter your fitness level or experience with CrossFit, they will help you reach your goals and push you even further. Going to class is the best part of my day!

This place turned into my second home literally after my first class. They’re culture is amazing and besides being an awesome place to meet new people and become part of a community, the workouts and programming are super challenging, encouraging you to become a better athlete every day. I love this box🤍

Great Gym. If you’re looking to drop in or join, they are so welcoming! Coaches clearly explained the movements and standards. I was dropping in from out of town and they treated me as if I had been there forever. Awesome people!

This place is so much more then a CrossFit gym. Bing in a nomadic industry it’s hard to finally settle and make friends. Thanks to Riptide I now have more than just friends. The coaches are next level and will help you define your CrossFit experience. I have been traveling and working out at different boxes around the world - nowhere has yet to match the caliber of community Riptide provides.
