I joined CrossFit to get into better shape and obtain personal goals for myself and I couldn't of asked for a better gym than this one. The support from the coaches from day one was unlike anything else. The community and positivity from everyone who attended was infectious and made you want to come back every day.

I will say, this is wildly out of my comfort zone, but I would never look back! Since coming to the gym, I have been able to hone in on my personal growth, while learning in a team setting each night! The coaches really want to see progress and in the correct ways! I highly encourage anyone looking to better themselves, and gain some new friends along the way to come on down and Dream Big!

I've been a member at Somnium CrossFit for a few months now, and I can't say enough about how incredible this gym is. The coaches here are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to help you reach your fitness goals.What sets Somnium CrossFit apart from any other CrossFit gym I've been to is the dedication and passion of their full-time coaches. They are genuinely committed to seeing their members succeed.I'm now in my 30s, and I can confidently say that I'm stronger than I ever was in my 20s, thanks to the guidance and support of the coaches at Somnium CrossFit. My progress in terms of both lifting weights and improving my workout times has been remarkable.If you're looking for a CrossFit gym that offers more than just a workout, Somnium CrossFit is the place to be. The coaches here will inspire you, push you to your limits, and help you achieve results you never thought possible.

I hate group exercise and I spent most of my adult life hating on CrossFit and the people who do itIf that sound like you then there is a good chance that Somnium will change how you feel about both. These coaches are deeply knowledgeable, empathetic and dedicated to what they do. Classes are excellent and the members are supportive and encouraging. If you are a total beginner, a seasoned Crossfitter or someone looking to try a new way to approach fitness, this gym has a speed and style for you.I can honestly say I have never been stronger in my life. I have lifted weights for the better part of 20 years and it was exciting to see what just a few months was able to do in terms of strength gains just from class alone.Additionally, I lost almost 7% body fat in under 4 months without feeling hungry - just a little sore (sometimes more than a little sore).The focus on injury prevention and close supervision during technical lifts this gym is committed to shatters all the typical criticisms you will hear against CrossFit. There is always a way to scale back if you need to without fear of any kind of ridicule. Additionally if you want to go hard, they will push you while making sure you are doing it safely.Somnium is a chill place that will simultaneously push your limits. No meathead stuff here. Just progress and gains and good folks working hard.

I highly recommend Somnium Crossfit! I had shoulder surgery a few years ago and had not done crossfit since then so I was super nervous to get started again. All the coaches were super knowledgeable & always made sure safety was of utmost importance. In just a few months I feel as strong as I was before my surgery. Thank you Somnium for helping me gain my confidence and strength back. Its been such a great experience

Going to Somnium has been an awesome introduction to crossfit. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable in both fitness and nutrition, and will help you set and achieve realistic goals. The facility is very clean, and the gym equipment is well taken care of!

If you’re looking to join a CrossFit gym, this is the best one in the area. I can’t leave a review for Somnium CrossFit, without giving some background. My husband and I moved to Norfolk for a job right before Covid started. Having been part of amazing CrossFit communities for many years prior to moving here, we were looking forward to finding a new one here in our new home. We tried several different boxes before we found Somnium. When I reached out to drop in at Somnium to try it out, Austin listened to my concerns based on some of the previous experiences we’ve had and reassured me that the team at Somnium would make sure we felt like we would fit in and be part of the community. Austin was right. All of the coaches are wonderful. Mel, Ian, Brian, Jessie, Tyler, JD (and I apologize if I’m missing anyone) have all been part of creating a welcoming culture and are very knowledgeable of exercise physiology, safety, and how to make progress. They learned my name immediately, as they do all new members. They helped me modify workouts when appropriate. It was the cleanest box I’ve ever been in. They do an excellent job, making sure the floors and equipment are clean, and the bathrooms are always stocked, clean and tidy. They have the most options for CrossFit classes I’ve ever seen and they will work one on one with you if you’re looking for personal training. Lastly, because of the culture they’ve created, the members are kind and welcoming to each other. They make sure to include you and events so that you really feel like you’re part of the family. The only reason I’m speaking in past tense about Somnium is because we’re moving out of state. Otherwise we would have stayed members for as long as we lived in Norfolk. I’m so grateful we joined in Somnium.

I went on a hiking trip and realized I had lost a considerable amount of physical fitness in the years since I had been committed to regularly working out. At the encouragement of a Somnium coach I knew socially, I joined the gym when I returned from my trip and have never looked back -- I love it. The coaches are all fantastic and eager to help EVERYONE who comes through their doors find ways of making the programming work for them. It has had a big impact on my life!

I’ve been a member of this amazing gym for 4 years and I love the positive friendly encouraging community. They even have a “45 and older class- Fit for Life” which is “Fit” for me! We also have a lot of fun!

I came to Somnium about 2 1/2 years ago at a very low point place in my life. I needed something to get out of bed and here I met Coach Tyler, Coach Mel, Coach Ian, Coach Bryan, Coach Jesse. All of them so helpful and arms open. They were incredibly picture of I was starting at my CrossFit journey.. I can't get enough of coming here because it's just so amazing and it gave me that purpose I needed again in my life. I would highly recommend this place to anyone new to. Rossfiy, because everyone here treats you like your their family, they are welcoming and constant. Cheerleaders inside and outside of the gym ❤️❤️I'd give this place an ultimate thumbs up ??????

Been attending this gym for over a year now. And it’s probably the best gym I’ve been to in years. The afternoon instructors Bryan, Mel, Ian are very in detail in supporting you in whatever fitness goals you are trying to accomplish. With tailored meal plans an following up with you weekly and see how your progress is doing.

Highly recommend Somnium CrossFit! The staff and coaches are very friendly, welcoming and it’s evident they truly care! The coaches motivate you and provide guidance not only with the workouts but nutrition as well. I really appreciate their dedication to coach me through both aspects, fitness and nutrition! The facilities are great, lots of equipment and bathroom/showers available. Finally, all the other members I’ve interacted with have been incredibly friendly as supportive - it’s been a great experience at Somnium!

Fantastic place. At 64 I never would have imagined that I would be able to do crossfit. The instructors individually modify the workout but still push you to your limit. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this gym. Great coaches, awesome workouts, help with nutrition and meal planning, and a wonderful community for everyone even people new to CrossFit. Extra special shout out to my 8am class coaches for being 10/10 - Tyler and Jesse. Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone.
