LOVE LOVE NELA athletics. It’s rare to find a place where every single trainer is top notch AND cares about your progress and your health. The staff checks in with you. The ignite classes are fantastic, fun and challenging in the best way. Special shout out to Coach Erwin. Not only did I get fit but I also found a community. Nothing compares!

Can't say enough great things about this gym. The community is awesome, very friendly, always encouraging. During covid the coaches had awesome alternatives that allowed me to continue working out. If I stay away for a while and the aches and pains start coming back I know where to go to strength my core and get rid of back , sciatic and others pains. Im always glad I came.... Just show up. You'll be glad you did.

I’ve been coming here for 3 years and love it. I started up knowing I was going to have hip surgery with the goal of getting myself in the best possible place for recovery. And I have been doing a combination of personal training and classes since the surgery. Paul and his team are wonderful and extremely thoughtful. What I like about this gym is that it isn’t full of intimidating, “crossfit looking” people; there are certainly great athletes but also a whole range of folks looking to get better. Lots of regular clients and with that a wonderful community.

NELA Athletics is my favorite gym, ever! Why? Because NELA Athletics hires coaches who are well trained, friendly, personable, and caring. I regularly see the benefits of my workouts. A year ago, I couldn’t even do one side plank. Recently, Coach Paul added them to our workout and I readily did 20 with holds. Staff strives to get to know you. When I don’t show for class, my regular Coach Lily shoots me a text to see if I’m okay. One day, I showed up at the wrong time, and on the spot, Coach Erwin organized a workout for me. At NELA Athletics, there is a real since of community and Esprit de Corps. Beyond the regular Cross-fit workouts, there are fun-filled gatherings like potlucks, comedy shows, swim-workouts, health-related workshops and competitions. Here’s to a standing ovation for NELA Athletics for creating a healthy, welcoming environment and strong bodies.

Lauren was amazing! She immediately put me at ease during my first CrossFit class in 4years, as I was feeling a bit rusty and lacking confidence. She was incredibly supportive and understanding, never making me feel guilty for taking it slow. The class itself was wonderfully challenging, and I couldn’t be happier to have tried to the CrossFit community. Ian genuinely excited about becoming a part of Nela Athletics! ?

Nela is an amazing gym. It’s community-oriented, clean, and has stellar coaches.Erick is a talent — funny, hardcore, and emotionally intelligent all in one. The dude starts my day right every time. Grateful ?Wes is a devoted, detail-oriented coach with a huge heart. He will motivate you to do your best and beyond, but is no slave driver!

My experience so far has been extraordinary. The care Lily my personal trainer takes with me is superb. At 73 I didn't know if I was a candidate for a personal trainer. Silly. The best experience.

The mobility class today was exactly what I needed. It taught me what to do and what to look for when I'm in certain movement and in my everyday movements. I felt lighter. Highly recommend.

Coaches here are so welcoming and supportive. I had never done CrossFit before I imagined starting classes would feel intimidating. All are welcomed here and classes and movements can be scaled to support you where you are at along your fitness journey. I appreciate the NELA crew, welcoming environment and clean facility.

I look forward to every workout at NELA Athletics. And I love all of the coaches whom I've had recently, Jahi Olatunji, Lily Rigual, Wes Mendelson, Erwin Regidor, and the owner Paul Austad!

Great first class, he kept it friendly and I felt comfortable as a beginner. I was worried I would not be able to keep up, but I was able to do the movements and keep up. The other classmates were friendly too.

Truly excellent class. Erwin takes the time to make sure everyone understands the exercises and gives individual attention to each student. The pace of the class is perfect and it’s fun. Perfect introduction to CrossFit.

Lily was amazing. This was my first time trying a class like this and Lily made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. She went over how to do the movements safely in a very comprehensive way. I would definitely recommend this class.

Wes is unquestionably an excellent coach. He is extremely detailed in everything, and what is even more exceptional is the warm-up routine, which prepares us for the WOD. During the workout, he is watching that I do all the movements as they should be. I love Wes ?!
