Months of physical therapy was getting me nowhere, it just wasn't enough to promote the muscle growth I needed to stabilize my spine and extremities. I was approaching 60 and not liking where things were headed. So in May '21, I turned to Richard Russell CrossFit Monterey Bay, and I'm so glad I did.I get the most insightful and informative support from all the coaches--and especially Dallas--who has advanced training in kinesiology. The CrossFit workouts are so well-crafted and varied that you can't help but grow stronger. There are world-class athletes coaching and working out here and competing in national events. And they are eager to share their vast knowledge base on proper lifting techniques in every class, with helpful individual feedback on each member's form.The management team Josh and KC (who also run a box at a winery in Soledad) enjoy putting on special events, holiday gatherings and organizing trips to other gym's events. There is a deep bench of talented coaching they draw on to run their classes and they are highly engaged with all of the membership.It feels like I'm growing younger with each session. I'm now running again, hoisting weights overhead, climbing ropes, doing kipping pullups on the high bar like a gymnast. So many adventures in the outdoors are now possible. The other members here crack me up. And sometimes I laugh just for the joy of a good honest workout. I feel fortunate to be a part of this very special place.

I can't say enough about all the support Bruce and I get at Richard Russell Crossfit. We attend the Monterey Bay gym at 220 Dela Vina Ave. in Monterey, CA. We've been an official member since Feb 2021. We went from attending two days a week to four days a week and we're finding we are much more flexible, stronger and are building up stamina. We are both over 65 years of age and we encourage anyone of any age to join us for a great time! You don't have to be an Olympian athlete to join.Sincerely, D & B Rowe

I've been a member here since 2018 and recommend it for its knowledgeable, invested coaches. If you come through the door, you'll be encouraged at every step. Everyone is part of this gym's "in-group," and the community feeling sets Richard Russell Crossfit MB apart from other CF gyms. If you commit to coming consistently, you'll become stronger, more flexible, and faster. Guaranteed results, you cannot derive more value than that.

I have been going to this gym for ten years and I love it! The coaches are knowledgeable, welcoming and very helpful. The energy in the classes is upbeat and positive where everyone is encouraging and pushing each other to do their best! Definitely one of my favorite places on the Monterey Peninsula and I highly recommend dropping in to try out a class!

This is not your typical CrossFit gym. After my wife joined this gym to work on her physical training for the military, she convinced me to join her. We've been going together ever since, almost 2 years now. The great thing about this gym that sets it apart from the rest is they prioritize its client's health and well-being. CrossFit is infamous for injuries and going crazy with workouts. But at RRCF they want to make sure every athlete is doing the moves correctly with efficient technique. Not to mention the community is one of the most supportive I have ever seen. If anyone has doubts about a specific lift or isn't at the level necessary for certain workouts, the coaches are all excellent at creating scaled alternatives so you can participate no matter your skill or ability level. This veteran-owned business is an amazing benefit to the community and it has inspired me to work harder toward my goals. Thanks to this gym I am now stronger than I have ever been and it has given my wife and I something to do together as a family.

This place is GREAT- I joined at 7 months pregnant, they were able to modify the workout to fit MY pregnancy, and I was able to stay in shape up until my delivery. Awesome community, educated coaches.

I was in Monterey for 5 weeks and needed a crossfit home base. I tried a couple of gyms in town and quickly knew this was my spot. The coaching I received was excellent, from all members of the staff. I got some excellent Olympic weightlifting tips that really changed my clean. The community is friendly and welcoming, just like a crossfit community should be. Highly recommend!

The trainers really know what they are doing and care more about your technique than your weight or speed. Definitely a good choice.
