I've belonged to the Locomotive community for a few years. Most people can be very intimidated by joining an intense fitness program, but the staff and members are one of the most welcoming, encouraging groups I have been a part of. I thoroughly enjoy going to each class, I leave feeling good and confident about myself.
I am fairly new to Locomotive but not to crossfit & I have found this gym to be a great community of people who are welcoming to new members.The coaches are very attentive and helpful while teaching the class. Its a nice place to do my early morning workouts.
I joined Locomotive over the winter and despite the dreary days and workouts behind (temporary) masks the coaching staff and community went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and prepared to get back into crossfit. Fast forward seven months and I can confidently say that I found one of best gyms in the area. The coaches are professional, knowledgable, attentive, and truly get to know you as an athlete. There are modifications and scaling options provided for every workout if needed to accomodate injuries and all abilities while still pushing you to perform and feel your best. In the last few months I also took advantage of the nutrition coaching and have learned a wealth of knowledge that I'll be able to take with me and continue using on my own. If you're looking for a new challenge, or maybe looking to get back into crossfit, I highly suggest giving Loco a call and speaking with the coaches about your wants and needs. Locomotive is a gym for every BODY and I can't thank them enough for helping me find me healthiest and fittest self again!
I love the 1 to 1 training, it's very beneficial.
LocoMotive Fitness Co is more than a place for working on your physical health. It's a space where you go to work on your overall wellbeing, a place where you are surrounded by a variety of different people who share the same ideology in life -- that there is always room for improvement. LocoMotive Fitness Co and the owners have changed my life.
If youre going to signup for crossfit, this is the location I recommend.Victor and Chloe are true professionals at their craft.Very knowledgeable and motivate you to keep coming.
Locomotive Crossfit is the best gym I’ve ever been to. The coaches are attentive and really give each person a customized experience - they genuinely care about you! You’ll also have a whole community of people cheering you on, no matter where you start your fitness journey.
Great crew, friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean facility...Locomotive is a great gym and a productive environment for building strength.
I love this place! Chloe and Victor are so welcoming and all the coaches are so helpful and knowledgeable!
I have been a member at Locomotive CrossFit for about 4 years now. I was not very active or into working out when I first started, so I was super nervous as to if I could even do this whole CrossFit thing. I quickly realized it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life! It is such a welcoming place. The coaches are all so knowledgeable and are always there to help you through the workouts. Locomotive truly cares about helping their members meet whatever fitness goal they are looking for. If I could rate more stars I would!
The environment here is what I’ve always looked for in a gym. Getting to the gym doesn’t feel like a chore now - I look forward to classes because not only are the workouts great, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I’ve never been a “workout class” type of person because in the past I’d feel lost in a crowd but at LocoMotive all of the coaches pay close attention to each member and are able to scale every single movement so that you aren’t left feeling poorly about your skill level. Instead I walk away from class feeling empowered and looking forward to the next!
Locomotive Crossfit is the best! Challenging workouts, knowledgeable coaches, and a warm and inviting community. While in quarantine, they have not missed a beat- virtual classes are still challenging and the community is ever present.
Amazing coaches and community!! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to drop-in - people are always welcoming and friendly.
Awesome!!! Got a chance to see Susan , the instructor conduct a fitness class for kids on Sunday morning- her knowledge was impressive and the kids were very responsive....

Took a break from fitness? Haven’t been coming as regularly as you’d like? Sometimes getting back in to a more regular fitness routine can be more challenging than getting started. Why?

See pictures of CrossFit Games athletes and think ‘I’m NOT trying to look like that’? Quite often this fear of getting bulky holds people back from lifting weights. We get it! Most join a gym because they want to fit in to their clothes, have more energy, and get that ‘toned’ look; not because they […]
“If I just lose 15 lbs I will finally be happy” “If I just had abs I would be happy” “If I can back squat 2x my body weight I will be happy” “If I can just beat so & so in the workouts I will be happy” Does this sound like you? I’m sure […]
How often should you workout with HIGH intensity? When you hear the word CrossFit, intensity might be one of the things that comes right to your mind. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about? When CrossFit first started that was the case. They had a character called pukey the clown that was essentially the […]
You might have heard us talking about the difference between motivation and discipline. Motivation is fleeting; there is no way to be motivated 24/7, no matter how excited you are to reach a specific goal.

Right now we are living in challenging times. There are so many jokes about the last few years and what’s going to come next!

Can you prevent injury? Not exactly. We are imperfect humans. There is no way to guarantee that you won’t get injured.

There are 2 different ways to use the term diet: as a noun, and as a verb. As a noun: the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats. As a verb: restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight. Why is it important to […]
Tracking food seems like one of those things that no one used to do and suddenly everyone says is necessary. Why is this suddenly a thing? I honestly think it comes down to how much our lives have changed over the years. Life used to be a lot more simple. Less distractions, less access to […]
When it comes to creating goals, we can become hyper focused on the end result. While people believe this to be motivating, sometimes it’s quite the opposite! Why?

Diet is often associated with weight loss. It makes sense as the two often go hand in hand.

At Locomotive we want you to see lasting results.

You join a CrossFit gym. You started because you wanted to get in shape. You didn’t care about scores, or weight on the bar, or your Fran time. As you start coming consistently you start to realize how cool it feels to be strong. Your back squat jumps 30 lbs in a month, you feel […]

Consistency is one of the hardest parts of any nutrition program! It also happens to be one of the most important. We believe this is why people tend to be more drawn to crash diets rather than long term solutions. Of course people desire fast results, but it’s also a lot easier to go extra […]

“Better” not “Perfect” This has been on my mind a lot lately in regards to nutrition. I see so many people unable to lose weight, feeling frustrated and finding it hard to stick to any diet. Quite often people are just looking for a meal plan: Just tell me what to eat and when and […]

We recently asked how long you’ve been on a diet and often hear people eating very little and frustrated they still can’t lose weight. I’m sure you’ve heard “eat less, move more” and the way to weight loss is caloric deficit. If you’ve been chronically under eating and your weight won’t budge you may think […]
Everyone loves the idea of a quick fix. The idea of simply cutting out certain foods and achieving your goals is tempting for almost everyone, especially when these diets claim to have the key that no one else has found and the promise of instant results! They say: ‘Eat this + don’t eat that = […]
It’s time for some real talk. We see a lot of obsession with the scale. Somewhere along the way, society decided that the ‘a body’s relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing’ REALLY MEANS SOMETHING. And we get it, […]

I just need to lose weight, then I will be happy. Does this sound familiar?

We often believe eating the wrong food isn’t just unhealthy, but that we give in to our cravings due to a lack of willpower. We categorize foods as good or bad – and believe in turn WE are good or bad, strong or weak. The more we restrict “bad” foods the more we think about […]
“Wow! You must have great self-control to avoid eating sweets.” “I can’t find the willpower to get to bed on time and get enough sleep.” “I just don’t have the motivation to go for a walk every day.” How often have you heard or said words like these? It’s a common misbelief that in order […]

Trust the process. We get it: Fast results would be great. It would be amazing if we could snap our fingers and get the results we desire. But the fact is, reaching our goals is a process.

In his Netflix docuseries Cooked, Michael Pollan made a statement that has really resonated with me, “If you make it, you can eat it” what’s that mean for me… if I want cookies it’s “easy” to grab a store bought package and shovel them in my face. If I make them myself I know the […]
Did you know: Cheetos are considered a “natural” food? This is because the term natural has little to no guidelines from the FDA! When we are trying to eat healthy we tend to gravitate to foods labeled as ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ – but many of these foods contain just as much sugar and fat (with […]
