I started training at Beyond the Box in Sept 2017 with two goals in mind. I simply wanted myself to WANT to go to classes three days/week and I also wanted to build some stamina for my upcoming ski trip in December. It took a few weeks to gain the drive to go to Crossfit classes, however, Dave and Megan offered so many things I needed: knowledgeable and friendly coaches, small classes, modifications to workouts based on my abilities, and a sense of community. The fellow Crossfitters are amazing people! I successfully achieved goal #1. I refer to the second goal as getting my ski legs...I have tried various preps over the years for my once/year ski trips: hit the gym hard for a few months, hired trainers, started a running regimen - but regardless of my preparation I have had a 3 day max of skiing and very sore muscles after day one. This season, I am proud to say I skied 5 days with no sore muscles and amazing stamina!!! If I only had more vacation time...... It's great to feel the results of your hard work. I'm thankful I chose Beyond the Box and am looking forward to achieving 2018 goals with them!!!

I love this place. That’s the only way I know how to describe it. I started CrossFit here at Beyond The Box about a year ago and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dave and Megan are terrific - the coaching is tailored to each individual’s skill level and provided in just the right amounts. I’ve met so many nice people here and totally changed the way I think about exercise AND my diet. I can honestly say that I’m in the best shape of my life. If you’re considering a new commitment to your health, or just a change to your current exercise routine, come give this place a try and you won’t be disappointed!

If you want a great workout with amazing coaches and a great environment, you have to try out Beyond the Box! I am very picky about where I workout, I’ve tried so many gyms/ workout classes and when I say this is a great place to workout I genuinely mean it. Dave and Kristen have been my coaches and they are so attentive to your form and make sure they give you the best workout and experience each class. You never feel intimated, they work with you no matter if you are a beginner with working out or have worked out a lot in the past. Do yourself a favor and check out this awesome place!!

Dave and Megan are the most enthusiastic, kind, educated trainers who have given me the motivation to start my fitness journey. I feel like the gym has become a “town center” for both coaches and the athletes who are members. It’s hard to drag myself away from the place. Guess the beautiful, clean, air-conditioned facility has a lot to do with it, but mostly it’s the other clients who are friendly, positive and inspiring.

I love this gym. Mainly because of the people. It starts with the coaches and is magnified by the other members. You’re celebrated when you come in, and your absence is noticed when you don’t. My schedule can be inconstant, and the gyms owner reaches out when I haven’t been in for a while. The amount of personal attention members get is particularly helpful for those times they need an extra push. I love Crossfit workouts, and really appreciate the focus on staying within your capabilities. There is no pressure to perform movements you’re not ready for or use too much weight. The coaches have modifications in their toolbox for all skill levels so no matter what type of shape your in, or what your ability is, I would highly recommend coming in to meet the coaches.

Dave and Megan and the BTB team of coaches and members are amazing! It’s a very supportive and welcoming group of all levels of athletes. I started out with the personal training package as it had been a while since I worked out and wanted to get the extra attention. I got that and more! Ended up that I had several obstacles in my way to working out—lots of setbacks/losses emotionally and physically — but Dave was there every step of the way checking in with me just enough to be supportive but not annoying. Now I am in group classes and the members have welcomed me with open arms. I’ve joined many workout groups and this has been one of the most welcoming. I highly recommend BTB for a positive physical and mental change in your life!

Incredible atmosphere with extremely passionate owners and trainers! It's like a family here! Your goals will be met with your drive and the passion of David and his team! Best gym experience I have ever experienced in my life!

If you want a Crossfit gym that gives you personal attention even in a group setting,this is the place to be! I joined back in December of 2017 and took a few months off this summer due to a lack of work-life balance. Once my situation improved, Coach Dave and I sat down for over an hour to discuss my goals and how I wanted to achieve them. It’s been a month and I have made it to the group classes 3x/per week and have also added a day or two of running to train for some races (one of my goals!). The coaches hold you accountable in a refreshingly positive way, which makes you want to attend classes. BTB challenges each individual without the intimidation factor of a big box gym!

There is an old saying that goes "The heaviest weight in the gym is the front door." At Beyond the Box, the owners Dave and Megan completely eliminate this obstacle. They will make you feel like you are the most important member to them and that they are so stoked to see you walk into the gym each day! If you are struggling with motivation, they will even offer to come pick you up! No other gym in Jacksonville offers this level of service and commitment to their members. They want to see you succeed and will make it a priority to help you overcome your personal barriers and obstacles. From monthly goal setting sessions with Dave, member challenges and nutrition services with April, you have everything you need in one place. I began crossfit in 2010 when it was still growing in popularity. Many people had never heard of it or were intimidated to try. Over the years crossfit has grown and the boxes in Jacksonville have become overcrowded and impersonal. It was one of the reasons I left the crossfit community for a few years. I was so stoked to find Beyond the Box in 2018. They still believe that crossfit should be offered on a small level that has manageable class sizes and a personal touch. It truly is my favorite place to go everyday and I feel so supported by the coaches and members. Because of Beyond the Box, I have regained my passion for fitness again and I couldn't be more thankful for the environment these guys have created. If you have been on the fence about starting crossfit or you are just looking for a place to start a fitness routine, I promise you, this is the place to start!
