Updating my review to say Reno Power House Fitness is still the best gym with the best coaching staff in town! And now they've moved into an even bigger and better location that allows for more space and equipment! There are always two coaches of the classes are big and they walk around the whole time checking on form and making sure all is well with the athletes! I also worked out here pregnant and now postpartum, which the coaches have taken very seriously. Many of the coaches have special training in this area and work with me to modify or push myself when appropriate. The atmosphere is great and I love coming here!

I was very fortunate to pick this gym when I decided to jump into CF and group workouts. I first chose them because of location and now that they moved, I followed them because they are too good to leave. The coaches are knowledgeable and demonstrate the movements each time, making sure everyone knows how to perform the exercise safely. The gym community is second to none, the members are engaging, conversational, and all around great people. Workouts are challenging and the coaches support in you scaling to your level or helping you push to the next.

Soooo.....I am so thankful I found this place. I have been traveling the last few years and don't usually stay one place longer than 5 months or so. This will be the hardest place I've had to leave. I checked out a few places when I arrived here and from meeting with Sal to my first class I knew this is where I wanted to be. I wasn't in the greatest shape when I arrived here, but I felt very comfortable here and they were able to give me options for my fitness level that enabled me to get stronger while staying safe. I have done Crossfit or a Crossfit style workout off and on for about 10 years now and in the 5 months I've been here I have improved in my skill/technical movements dramatically. The group of coaches here are truly the best. They explain things to me in a way that make them click and take the time to work with me when it might take a bit longer to get. Im super impressed at how knowledgable all the coaches are. The proof is in the pudding... they definitely practice what they preach and I often get to catch a glimpse of them working out in the COMP class when I arrive a few minutes early.. Another thing I enjoy is the environment is really light and fun but when it comes down to starting class they really value your time and are dedicate to giving you a full and focused class. It feels like you're receiving personal training in a group environment. The Coaches care about you and want you to get a great workout and keep on improving. I have a hard time putting time and energy into something I don't feel Im doing right. With the coaching here I feel like Im finally doing the movements correct and safely, in doing that I'm able to improve and get stronger. It's really motivated me to continue to show up and keep putting the effort in. I was able to participate recently in an in house competition while I was here and it was a blast. The environment here is something not easily replaced and there's gonna be some big shoes to fill when leaving here. I really feel like the attitude of the gym reflects the leadership and they've done a great job with this place. I could go on and on but I probably should shut up. Oh one more thing I thought was cool was when i first started i noticed all the coaches would make eye contact and always use your name when talking to you. Might seem like nothing but it meant a lot to me and made me not just feel like a random person. I like that old school respect stuff. Sal, Stacie, Kyla, Kyle, Matt & Nathaneil I appreciate you guys so much! Thank you for everything you've taught me and gettin me in better shape both physically and mentally. Thank you for giving me a place Im going to miss so much! You all are awesome and I appreciate you so much!!!

I went looking for a gym a year ago and initially went with RPHF because Sal was the most personable and responsive gym owner I had contacted.I did a few personal training sessions with him so I could learn proper technique and terminology, discuss goals, and previous gym experience. After my personal training sessions, there was no pressure to join the gym. However, joining RPHF is one of the best decisions I have ever made! I went in with the intention of getting back into shape and gained so much more than my health back. I gained confidence, a new found relationship with food and my body, a strong community, friendships, and a new found passion for something that spills over into every other aspect of my life.All of the coaches bring something special to the gym, are your biggest cheerleaders, and get just as excited over your progress as you do. They are all both level 1 and 2 CrossFit certified and participate in regular trainings to assure they are exceeding coaching expectations.They have an awesome kids class that my daughter has become so passionate about; and that's a huge deal to find something she loves and wants to keep doing, especially fitness related!I cannot thank Sal, Stacie, Kyla, Matt, Kyle, Alex, Meghan, and Nathaniel enough for the professionalism, coaching, support, fun, and sense of community that they bring into the gym everyday. Ya'll changed my life and it's such a privilege to be apart of the community you have created.All are welcome here, come get strong with us!

Awesome CF gym with all the right components: great technical coaches, a super hands on owner, and great facility. So grateful to have such a quality gym in NW Reno.

As of writing this I have spent 1 year at Reno Powerhouse Fitness. I have had an incredible experience with the community that this gym fosters.This starts from the leadership, Sal is an amazing coach, who knows what is needed to get the most out of all of the members and genuinely wants everyone to be successful. The coaches continue this attitude and all bring a unique and positive experience to the gym, whether they are coaching a class, working out alongside the members, or wrapping up another class they are present, positive and productive. And the members, who all show up to work hard, and are encouraging and supportive of everyone who shows up.What I find most telling, was in reading the other reviews for the gym, I know most all of the reviewers.Thanks to Sal, Stacy, Kyle, Matt, Xander, Meghan and Kayla.And to anyone thinking of joining, if you want to work hard, you are going to see results. However, if you want to be part of a community that will help you achieve greatness Reno Powerhouse Fitness is the place to make it happen.
