I attend this program before I run my own classes next door. It's been a wonderful time. Everyone is very friendly. There's a great atmosphere and culture. As part of our exercises there's sometimes jogging outside; and if you're alone, the coach will run with you for safety. Which is a nice attention to detail.

I finally joined this gym! Vaz helped ease my apprehension about injuries. I’m 46 years old and I always manage a way to injure myself. I’ve been working out for about 2 weeks now. No injuries. The trainers are really good about explaining the exercises and make sure you’re doing it correctly. It’s such a great varied workout. Im learning to do things I’ve never done before like bench presses and pull-ups. Everyone has been very friendly and encouraging. I look forward to showing up in the mornings. Can’t wait to see how my strength improves over the next year. Wish I’d joined sooner!

I have been with this gym for a year now and I absolutely love it. I am super happy that I found it as it works perfectly with my schedule. The coaches here are amazing. They really get to know you as you go and really pay attention to your technique and what you need to work on to become a better overall athlete. Since I started at this gym, my cardiovascular and physical strength have significantly improved. I like that the gym offers flexibility on classes. The environment is super friendly and competitive. Last thing is that the gym is very well maintained and everything gets sanitized.

Vaz has been training my best friend and I for 2-3 years now. This is the most consistent we've worked out and strongest we've ever felt in our lives. I've never met anyone so dedicated to health, fitness and well being. It's inspiring and radiates throughout his gym, trainers, and clients. Also appreciate that the gym is extremely well kept and that scheduling is flexible.

I've been a member for several years. The new location is great with plenty of room for the workouts and outdoor activities. Coach Vaz is a great coach and makes the classes fun. There are plenty of great members who help encourage and challenge you. Occasionally they offer free kids classes or family and friends days. I love it, can't imagine going back to a standard gym or another box...

If you are looking for a great community for group training and coaches who are super personable and are there to help you grow, then CFCV is the place for you. When i first started coming here, i was a little unsure about how to perform some of the more advanced movements that you see athletes do in the CrossFit Games... but the coaches set me at ease and showed me progressions to help build up the strength and mobility needed to get there. I especially like that the coaches really care and want to see you succeed and improve everyday. They want you to achieve your goals, and also take the time to ensure that you can consistently perform scaled versions/weights for the movements with good technique before you move on to the prescribed standard versions. The community of athletes here is equally great with very supportive people - making all the classes enjoyable, which helps put you in a good head space during the rigorous training moments.

I participated in their 6 week challenge. The owner and head coach Vaz provided a specific and easy to follow meal plan and had us come in for three workouts a week. The workouts are quit challenging and all of the coaches are very knowledgeable and supportive. Within those six weeks I lost about 5.7 percent of my body fat by following his meal plan and workout routine. Here are the before and after photos. I didn’t have abs before the program started. If you have no experience with CrossFit no worries! They brake down the movements for you very well and if you have trouble with any of the exercises they’ll give you a alternative.

I've been coming to CFCV for the past 5 years and it's become a family to me. The community and camaraderie Vaz and his team have built through all the grueling workouts we go through is something I cherish. Whether it's finishing a tough WOD, hitting a new PR, or stringing together 10 double-unders for the first time, there's always someone cheering you to give you that little motivation you need. Vaz and his coaches do a great job of pushing us to get the most out of a workout, while also emphasizing proper technique to ensure a safe environment. They pay attention to each member and scale workouts so everyone gets the most out of their time. Vaz loves learning and switching up routines. This is great for us because we get a constant stream of new movements, stretches, workouts and programs to keep things new and interesting. Even after 5 years, I'm constantly learning and improving my lifting technique, gymnastics movements and my mobility. I can't endorse this place enough. Come check it our for yourself!

Defcon Athletics has a great training environment and community. Coach Vaz and the team of coaches at the gym are knowledgeable with their workouts and various movements. The gym is also very clean and well kept (huge plus!). I have trained at many other gyms and this one is among the best!
