If you’re looking for a supportive community, highly qualified and empathetic staff, and a guaranteed good time whenever you walk in the door? Look no further. This gym is absolutely for everyone.It’s rare you’ll find a CrossFit gym where so many different types of members blend so effortlessly. You have new moms, marathon runners, local competitors, people new to CrossFit, people who have been in the CrossFit game for 10+ years, single parents, competitive 20-year olds, competitive 50 year olds, people who have never been in a gym before and retired college athletes. Everyone looks out for each other, and many members are in each other’s lives outside of the gym.As a staff member I’ve witnessed this vibe coming from the top down. Zach and Bailee operate and grow this gym with a member-first mentality. They prioritize safety, correct movement patterns, and meeting people where they are. They value educated coaches: 80% of the staff has a certification beyond just a CrossFit Level-1 cert.As a member and competitor, there is always someone to push me to be a better athlete mentally and physically. And as a human, the people at this place are truly magic—I’m a better person for being around this crew every day.

CrossFit Illuminate is truly what CrossFit is all about. Zach and Bailee have cultivated an incredible community of people who want to celebrate each other’s successes, and have fun building healthier lifestyles. The coaching staff is second to none and carries the same passion and attention to meet members where they are, to help them get to where they want to be.

In terms of the CrossFit experience, this gym excels at the four categories that I consider most important: coaching, programming, community, and facilities/equipment. Highly recommend!

A dear friend of mine, encouraged me to attend my first CrossFit class. I can honestly say I have no regrets. This group of professionals were incredibly patient, informative, and attentive to my limitations and what stood out the most was the positive support from other members. Knowing it was my first time, they made me feel so comfortable and confident to keep going. The facility was clean and well-maintained. The staff were professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I highly recommend this CrossFit gym for anybody who wants to try it out. Also, the music was on point!!

Love this gym! Very light and spacious with great workouts and instructors. Owners and members are super friendly! There is always a way to modify workouts or movements if you aren't comfortable or just not quite ready to do certain things. And many members scale or modify in some way so it is not like you "stand out" if you do that. I'm 51 years old and have never been so consistent with my fitness than since deciding to try CF ... it really can be for everyone!

Being new to CrossFit, I was nervous about coming here at first. I quickly learned that all the coaches are truly invested in teaching proper form, and they help you scale the exercises to challenge you just enough without overwhelming you. The hours and location are very convenient, too. I’m happy to be a member here.

I love the sense of community at CrossFit Illuminate. I always feel welcome when I step through the doors of the gym, whether its by the coaches or by your fellow gym mates. Coaches constantly work to make you a better stronger person by pushing you outside of your comfort zone. Even if you cannot do a certain movement, there is always a way to scale it, so you still get a good workout. I love this gym!
