Coaches are amazing and everyone is super friendly!!! Love the workouts, definitely a place to try.

Coaches and clientele are super supportive! Highly recommend!!

CrossFit Aptos is welcoming, inclusive, friendly, inspiring, motivating, and FUN! The coaches are great! I've been coming 5 days a week for almost a year! I look forward to the workout every day!

CrossFit Aptos is more than just a gym. It is a community of like minded healthy individuals... The best part of all is that this place is for EVERYONE. Needless to say, I would recommend this place to anyone, of any age or fitness level if you want to become the healthiest and best version of yourself. On another note, the excellent coaching staff at this gym has helped guide me through injuries and modified workouts to suit my rehabilitative needs countless times. 10 stars if it would let me!

I’m a new member at CrossFit Aptos, but I’m already so happy I’ve found this gym! The coaching staff is stellar, and I could not be more grateful for the free childcare!! Ted is great with my daughter, and I feel so lucky to have a place I can take her and know she is happy and safe while I’m getting my workout in!

Great ambiance with great people!

Friendly atmosphere and hard workouts!

I joined to get motivation to work out in a fun group setting and picked the right place! Great coaches and atmosphere. I'm on a break, but can't wait to get back to it!

CrossFit Aptos is terrific! Sam and her crew of trainers are the best! Welcoming and fun but precise on form! Wide range of ages and levels.

The CrossFit workouts have completely changed my body and my whole sense of what it means to be fit. At almost 50 I feel stronger and more nimble than I have in ages. CrossFit Aptos coaches and the whole community there keep me coming back for more :) I highly recommend this gym!

A perfect crossfit experience!! Great coaches & amazing, friendly community!! It is my happy place!!

I have been a member of CrossFit Aptos since they opened. And it has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. The workouts are challenging, but the coaches and other people working out are very supportive and encouraging. And if you are not feeling it that day, you can modify with the help of a coach. CrossFit Aptos has kept me going through breast cancer and two knee replacements.

There’s nothing quite like the community of CrossFit Aptos. I have a number of injuries and the coaches help make every workout feasible for me. Everyone is so kind, friendly, and helpful. I truly don’t know where I would be without it, it changed my life!

A very warm, supportive, and welcoming environment that meets each person where they are at in their fitness journey.

I have been working out here for a year- and I have nothing but great things to say! The coaches are attentive and very in tune to any issues- always concentrating on best form. They adapt for any issues and can coach all ages- I highly recommend joining this CrossFit gym!

Dropped in right before Thanksgiving and had a great time. Was super easy to schedule online. Jason was super friendly and gave an excellent form demonstration when we were practicing dead lifts. Will absolutely drop in again next time I'm visiting.

CFA has become my literal home away from home. Not only do I get to push myself to be better every day through fitness, but the community and people here are the best. I never thought I would be doing the things I have achieved, and it’s been great to see my and other people’s progress. Even when I’m not feeling 100%, I can go to CFA and get the WOD scaled for me by the coach and still get an amazing workout! This is by far the best gym in the area.

Crossfit Aptos changed my life. Not only did I lose over 50 pounds, but I became strong. Most importantly, I found community. They are extraordinary. They truly meet you where you are at and support you along your journey. I cannot recommend them enough.

CFA is an incredible place! I’ve been going for 5 years and I can tell you that the coaching, the program and the culture are the best! They are very supportive if you need to scale. The coaches are always there to help you find a scale that works for you. I have met so many people there that I now call my friends!!

Friendliest, most accessible CrossFit gym in town!

Plain and simple: this is a great gym! I have tried many types of gyms over the years and Crossfit Aptos is by far the best fit. I've been a part of the community for 8 years now and I still look forward to class everyday. The coaches are great, the people are great, and the workouts are fun and challenging. No matter what level of fitness your are at, or injury you may be managing, coaches can tailor the daily the workouts to fit your needs. If you are looking for a highly supportive and welcoming community that provides a great workout this is the place!

Love this crossfit. Amazing coaches and community of friends!

CrossFit Aptos is the place to go to learn how to be the strongest you can be in mind and body for the long run. I love the coaches and members and look forward to training with them each day. We are stronger together!! 💪🏼😁

When I joined CrossFit Aptos 2 years ago I immediately felt that I landed in the right place. The coaches are ALL amazing and very skilled. They helped me learn how to lift in a safe way. Starting a new workout routine at 54 was challenging but I am so much stronger for it now. The community at CrossFit Aptos is so warm and welcoming. I have made so many new friends that I even see outside of our workouts.

The gym is great, the coaches are wonderful, and the people are even better! Drop in and get some coaching, advanced or beginner!

I have been doing crossfit for many years and due to travelling visit and drop in at many gyms. I went to Crossfit Aptos for a week and it was unlike any gym I have attended. Very personalized coaching, I got a-lot of very good tips on my form and corrected my technique. The staff and culture is amazing. The vibe is very uplifting and friendly and not competitive at all. I highly reccomend it!

Of course you might think I'm biased because I coach here but there's a reason 'Ive been here since 2015. The community is amazing. The coaches do it because we love to help others achieve their fitness goals. We miss you when you're gone and celebrate when you return. If youre looking for a fun, fit and welcoming community you should check us out.

I was traveling this summer and was in Aptos for a month and joined this gym. Hands down the best CrossFit gym I have been to in California!! I mean that. The people are so kind and welcoming. Fantastic, knowledgeable coaches. I immediately felt part of the crew and was sad to leave. This is the gym you must join in the Santa Cruz area!!

THANKS FOR THE DROP INS🤍🤍 If you're in town visiting or live here definitely go check these guys out. Sam, Jason, Tim, and Dallas I appreciate all your help and welcoming energy!

Several years ago my husband and I never would have guessed that we would both turn into CrossFit addicts. We just assumed it wouldn't be for us. We were dead wrong. This gym got us into the best shape of our lives and is worth every penny. It's a fun, welcoming, friendly community of people too. It will change your life for the better!

I joined CrossFit Aptos in April 2022. Coaches are amazing. Everyone makes you feel welcome and the workout classes are great. Me inscribi en CrossFit Aptos en Abril 2022 .Los coaches son maravillosos, todos te hacen sentir bienvenido y las clases son muy buenas.

Love the gym ! The energy of the people and the coaches are amazing ! Totally recommend! ⭐️

Joined Crossfit Aptos in Feb 2022 and it has been a great experience. Love the community ❤️ extremely encouraging! Highly recommend for any ability, from in top physical condition to been out of routine exercise for quite sometime. Literally great workouts!

Fantastic gym! The coaches are very friendly and easy to talk to and the programming is great as well. I was hesitant at first due to the high price tag for an unlimited membership, but so worth it. Whether you’re a veteran crossfiter or a beginner, you’ll enjoy this place. They offer classes from 5am-9am as well as a 4:30 and 5:30 in the evening and three morning classes on Saturday. Come check it out! The owner is super kind and fun to workout with.

I love CrossFit Aptos. The people here are awesome, and super approachable. I was nervous to start but everyone has been super welcoming and helpful. So happy to have found this place 💕

I love CrossFit Aptos! I never would have thought I would be the type of person to love working out, let alone CrossFit. But getting up and going to CFA everyday has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time. The coaches are amazing and knowledgeable. I feel safe and supported there. Originally I only planned to go 3 days a week but I quickly started coming 4-5 days a week because it’s so fun! You won’t regret joining the CFA family!

Getting into the regular routine of working out can be a challenge. I've never felt so welcomed by a community the way I do when I walk into any class at CrossFit Aptos. Having a community you are excited to see, laugh with and play hard with every day makes each workout something you look forward to... Even when the workout sounds tough! Sam and her team have done an incredible job at fostering this supportive and light hearted community.

Favorite hour of my day is at this place. Easy to get started. No pressure workouts (they'll tailor everything to your needs). And, great company.

Great community, great coaches!

Cross Fit Aptos has been a blessing to me since joining. Everyone is very supportive and helpful. The workouts are great and they change them up for my needs. I'm able to do things I never thought I could do after two knee replacements, being out of shape and being older. When I tell people I'm doing Cross Fit I've heard that I should be careful not to get hurt. All of the trainers are the best at explaining and reexplaining what is right for me. I've brought in 2 friends so far and they're loving it too. Samantha and all of the trainers are great!

I couldn’t be happier with CFA. The owner Samantha and the staff always make me feel welcome while pushing me to get strong and healthy. Always positive and humble vibes with a family atmosphere. If you wanna get fit and feel a part of a rad community, this is the place for sure!

I have had a terrific experience joining CrossFit Aptos. There is a strong sense of community and an overall growth mindset by both the members and coaches. Workouts are challenging and well thought out with detailed explanations and supervision by the coaching staff. Would highly recommend anyone who is interested to come by.

Everything about this place is great! I just joined about three months ago and have been going 4-5 days a week since. I love the amazing coaches and people that are here. It’s non judgmental and just a really amazing little community. I know lots of you are timid to start CrossFit... don’t be! It is well worth it and not scary. You will get in shape fast!

CrossFit Aptos is my happy place! ❤️

Excellent coaching! Great community! This place is part of what makes Aptos home for me.

Don't be afraid, it's not a place of intimidation. These coaches are amazing! They ensure your workout is safe and challenging, no matter your age or fitness level. Plus, it's a very supportive community environment. Aces across the board.

I’ve always had a hard time finding a workout I like and can stick with. I came here a few years ago and fell in love. The coaches are amazing and very attentive to every person in the class. Best gym around!

Great gym full of great people that really pushes to motivate each other and ensure a great experience is had by all. Great staff that puts your priorities first and really embodies the sense of community a small gym needs.

If you are looking for a place to workout - no matter your skill level or age - this IS the place! Knowledgeable and friendly coaches who will encourage you to do what you thought was impossible! PLUS, the members are fun and welcome everyone to the Aptos community!!! What are you waiting for? Get off the couch and get to Crossfit Aptos - on Soquel!

After more than ten years of false starts trying to get in better shape, the community and great coaches at Aptos CrossFit have helped me actually change my life. I’ve been going regularly for a year and a half, lost 40 pounds, and feel great! The class times make getting there convenient as well. Definitely worth checking out.

If you get motivated by competing against others and want to make some friends, I'd highly recommend this gym. I was looking to improve my an range of motion and get a full body workout when I joined, and I have, but the competition and friendship is an added bonus.

A real community feeling every time I go! Each workout challenges me and the coaches always keep me going! The people who swear next to me are friendly and motivating as well. I’m so lucky to have Such a great place so close to home.

CrossFit aptos is great! I have been going for about 1 month now almost every day and I love it! All the coaches are very supportive and motivating every class I attend no matter what time of day. I came in with no real experience or training in the techniques used for the different movements and was trained great, and most importantly all the coaching staff were very patient with me. Every class is a new challenge and I like how you learn something new every week about an exercise or technique. Keep up the great work!

I love this CrossFit community! The coaches are all very knowledgeable and are committed to providing safe workouts in a non intimidating approach. The members are welcoming and warm. You don’t have to be an elite athlete to fully enjoy a workout here.

The quick read: an awesome CrossFit if you are making your way through Santa Cruz/Aptos or looking for a new box and fitness challenge. From the coaches to the members everyone is ALWAYS extremely welcoming. There’s nothing worse then getting “vibed” out when you walk into a new place. The workouts are dynamic and always fun with a clear focus on building functional fitness for everyday use outside of the gym. They also offer a ton of class times to fit a busy schedule, there’s not much more you could ask for from a great CrossFit. The long read: I’ve been doing CrossFit for a while now at a pretty high level, but I travel Often for work, so finding a great CrossFit to drop into is always top on my list once I arrive. CrossFit Aptos has become my go to in Santa Cruz county when I head home for the holidays and spring visits. It’s always easy to find the class schedule, the workout, or if I’ve had a question, I’ve always gotten an email response with the detail I needed. That’s huge. I’ve skipped by other gyms for that alone. The coaches and members are always welcoming, ask where I’m from or how I’ve been, and are super supportive and fun to workout with. They never fail to make me feel like I’m home every time I visit. It’s clear they are much more than just a place to work out. They are focused on building a community and offer members nutrition tips, and other skill building opportunities that not all places do. This is what helps keep you coming back no matter how sore or hard a workout was. The community is addictive. The workouts are always great. A mix of cardio with barbell work focused on building functional fitness. All the coaches pay close attention to form to make sure members are safe and are always there for the added encouragement when all you want to do is give up. Members seem to range from all skill levels from newbies to seasoned vets. It’s also worth mentioning their location. Tucked in little Aptos, it can seem out of the way, but I highly suggest it over other locations in town. After class take the time to head down to sea cliff beach for a walk or run the amazing stairs. Or walk across the road and up into the red wood forest of Nicene Marks, it’s gorgeous. There are also plenty of food options and coffee shops within reach after class. If it’s not obvious, I’m a fan and would highly suggest CrossFit Aptos to anyone looking to build their fitness with a great group of like minded people.

I really enjoy the family atmosphere at CFA. They do a great job of finding the right mix of pushing you to be better but not getting you hurt. There's a wide variety of people and they offer workouts for all ages/levels of fitness. I highly recommend.

This place is great! I’ve been a member for the last 2.5 years, and it truly feels like home. The community is great, from the members, to the coaches, to the owner. It’s a place that really does put its members and its community first.

Very nice coaches, work well with injuries and modify workouts to your needs. They make you feel like family :)

So happy I joined Crossfit Aptos- great owners/coaches that really make you feel welcome. Always an upbeat and positive atmosphere. If you are looking for something new- or you are getting back into Crossfit after several years (me)- Crossfit Aptos is the place to be :)

I love my workouts at Aptos Crossfit. All the coaches are knowledgeable and inspiring. I have been there for a few years now and everyone that knows me is aware of how important my workouts are. Always challenging always different and always feel better after. A great group of people to workout with! Like another family!

I started CrossFit in 2008. I’ve been to several CrossFit gyms in Santa Cruz County and this gym is by far my favorite. The CrossFit Aptos coaches are very professional & knowledgeable. They help you build a foundation and review proper lifting technique(s) on a daily basis. Most importantly, they work with you based on your individual needs and help you make modifications as needed. I recommend CrossFit Aptos without reservation.

CrossFit Aptos is fantabulous! Only CrossFit in Santa Cruz County with a 5 am class. Love this place, the community and the coaches.

Great coaches and people! I really enjoyed my time at CrossFit Aptos!

This place is my absolute favorite gym ever. Working out anywhere else just does not compare to the experience I get when I step foot inside Crossfit aptos. Amazing coaches and atmosphere, I will workout here every opportunity I get!

Amazing, everyone is super nice!
