Was a member of this gym for a little less than a year and generally found it to be a great CrossFit gym. The coaches are all very friendly and will work with you at your fitness level, such as making adjustments to the exercises. The space itself is nice and even during the bussiest classes it never felt too crowded. There is a lot of equipment and ample parking. There are many members who have been going for years and as such the gym has a pretty well established community of crossfitters - even celebrating birthdays and other special occasions through themed workouts and/or after workout hangouts. I was a member of another CrossFit gym a few years prior and one big difference I noticed between the two was the amount of competitive crossfitters this gym has. Meaning, there may be classes where you are working out with several folks who compete in CrossFit games. This may be a plus or minus for you depending on your fitness goals and comfort with athletes. The only con I would say is that sometimes classes were cancelled for various reasons and for Saturday classes sometimes held off site. that can be tough, especially when someone has a specific schedule and can fit only certain class times into it.

I wanted to wait until I have had a full month of exposure before I leave a review of this gym. I find that the owner and coach Jaws is genuinely invested in each and everyone of the members of this organization. He treats everyone with respect and while the word "family" is thrown around a lot, I can see why people feel the family-friendly atmosphere at this place. He is patient and kind and always carries a smile. This is my first time joining CrossFit, and I can assure you that Coach Jaws among all the other coaches make sure you're comfortable with (as your progress through) each move of the workout. For me, it's been exciting to learn new workout terminology from the CrossFit world, and it's been great learning how much of a full body workout this has provided. I've always done boot camp classes in the past, but this adds another layer and dimension to my strength training and conditioning. More than anything, it is really the company and environment that this gym provides in terms of support that I really enjoy. I look forward to my adventure at CrossFit Kaiwai!

I work for FEMA and got deployed to the Sacramento area. I messaged the business and they replied promptly and told me to swing by for a drop in. They were very welcoming, the warm up was thorough, and I felt like I was at my home box. They let me stick around and workout after the class and it was just a really great place to be. Highly recommend.

I met Jaws, the owner of CrossFit Kaiwai, while traveling for work in West Sacramento. We started talking about CrossFit, working out, the CF Games, and life. I told him that I was looking at the local gyms to drop into and he told me that he was the owner of Kaiwai and suggested that I drop in. I had an opportunity to drop in one evening after work and experience one of their evening classes. The gym members and coach were very welcoming and friendly, and his programming was challenging. If you're in the area and you have the chance to drop in, I highly recommend it. If you're looking for a CrossFit gym to join, and you're either new or experienced, I'd recommend giving them a shot!

Great gym! Stepped in for my first session and Coach Jaws was really welcoming and made me feel comfortable. I haven't done crossfit prior to this, so it kicked my butt! (But in a good way, of course.) Found out it's been around for 9 years now, but it's a little hidden, so I never noticed it before. What I noticed off the bat is how encouraging and friendly everyone is, they really built an awesome community here. Definitely recommend this gym. Looking forward to my future sessions and meeting the other coaches.

I've been going there for 3 weeks. I plan to stay. The coaches are caring and could easily recognize my fitness level (new to CrossFit) and explain everything very well. I love the sense of community A+ good vibe
