If
you
are
reading
reviews
on
Google,
you
may
be
like
me;
new
and
want
to
know
if
this
gym
is
the
right
fit
for
you.
I
am
not
much
for
reviews,
but
I
wanted
to
leave
an
in-depth
review
for
newcomers
like
myself.
Before
I
begin,
I
want
to
mention
that
CrossFit
Conquest
has
a
free
one-day
class
pass.
This
is
amazing
because
you
can
experience
what
class
would
be
like
for
yourself.
Before
landing
on
Conquest,
I
had
interviewed
several
gyms,
including
another
CrossFit
gym.
Before
moving
to
Southern
Florida,
I
was
in
a
group
class
setting
and
was
ready
to
return
to
the
same
environment.
I
chose
Conquest
because
of
the
friendly
community
atmosphere
I
was
accustomed
to
from
my
prior
gym.
For
my
free
trial
class,
I
attended
on
a
Saturday.
The
Saturday
classes
are
usually
bigger,
and
it
was
a
partner
workout.
Of
course,
being
new,
I
was
worried
I
would
slow
down
the
other
more
experienced
members.
Instead,
Coach
Maddy
welcomed
me
in
and
found
me
a
group
to
work
with.
My
entire
team
cheered
me
on
and
was
so
supportive.
I
knew
then
that
I
had
finally
found
somewhere
that
had
motivating
people
that
would
not
judge
me.
It
can
be
intimidating
to
walk
into
a
class
where
you
are
the
least
fit;
however,
Conquest
NEVER
makes
you
feel
like
you
are
not
meant
to
be
working
with
the
same
crowd.
They
have
scaling
options
for
everything
and
the
coaches
work
with
you
through
your
class
to
help
you
improve.
If
you
have
a
prior
shoulder
or
back
injury,
they
will
give
you
an
alternative
workout
that
provides
the
same
intensity.
If
you
cannot
run
(like
me),
they
will
“scale”
the
distance
appropriate
for
your
fitness
level.
Now,
I
can
do
all
the
running
workouts
without
scaling
after
five
months.
Classes
are
an
hour
and
are
led
by
a
certified
CrossFit
Coach.
There
are
two
separate
areas,
one
to
practice
lifting
and
one
where
the
WOD
(Workout
Of
the
Day)
is
performed.
The
coach
will
give
you
a
quick
warm-up
task
followed
by
stretching
techniques
that
will
translate
into
better
performance
for
the
lifts
and
WOD.
Next,
your
class
will
work
on
some
type
of
Olympic
lifting
practice
M,
Tu,
W,
and
Fri
for
the
first
half
of
the
class.
On
Thursday,
it
is
a
gymnastic
movement
practice.
In
the
second
half
of
the
class,
you
will
move
to
the
other
room
and
perform
the
WOD.
Saturday
classes
are
fun
because
you
have
a
bigger
group
of
people
and
do
a
longer
style
WOD.
Also,
CrossFit
Conquest
offers
Olympic
lifting
only
classes
on
Thursdays
and
Saturdays
and
CrossFit
Kids
classes.
During
each
class,
the
coach
will
give
you
constructive
feedback
or
check-in
to
ensure
you
feel
comfortable.
All
workouts
are
logged
on
an
app
you
download
on
your
phone,
and
the
workout
is
always
posted
at
9
PM
the
night
before.
CrossFit
Conquest
also
has
nutrition
coaching,
which
has
excelled
my
growth
in
the
lifts
and
WODs.
I
have
lost
27
pounds
so
far
and
improved
my
form.
The
coaches
and
facility
are
top-notch.
You
will
see
the
results
if
you
put
in
the
effort
and
show
up
consistently.
Remember,
the
most
significant
rule
of
CrossFit
is
not
to
clean
up
your
weights
until
the
last
person
finishes.
This
highlights
the
camaraderie
of
the
sport.
If
you
are
like
me,
on
the
fence,
GO.
I
promise
you
will
not
regret
it!
I
have
made
friends
I
regularly
talk
to
and
hang
out
with
outside
class.
CrossFit
Conquest
is
worth
your
time.
