Crossfit Gym

[benorth]

I'm looking to join a crossfit gym, ideally in the Central area. I am limited to how far I can reasonably travel because I watch my son several days a week. Any recommendations for that area?

I think there is a box opening in Central soon off of Wax road, but you don't know what you are going to get at a new box with a new trainer. You can do a free week at Crossfit BR, it is in Industriplex, not exactly close to central. Text "Crossfitbr" to "69302" for a free week.

Best strategy would be to do a Thursday or Friday Intro, free Saturday Class, your free week followed by another free Saturday class. You should be able to decide if you want to sign up or not by then, if the drive isn't too bad, if you like the instructor, etc.

Crossfit Denham Springs in just on the other side of the Amite river. Several people from the central area.

I've heard these guys are a good group. The gym is cool too. Low tech, roll up garage door, the way crossfit should be!

Anyone know of one in Laffy?

I thought about them. It wouldn't be too far, I'll have to look into them

I just started there a couple months ago and really like it. If you need any other info about them just ask. If you do decide to go let me know, so I can take credit for the referral.

+1 on Denham Springs Crossfit. Been there just over a year. Great people great trainers. The owner and some trainers are opening one in Central soon. Not sure of the time line.

Out of curiosity, what is the going rate for a crossfit gym in this area? I see that DSCF requires a minimum 6 month contract, is that normal here or is it mostly monthly? I'm only here until August- September, if nothing changes. Thanks for the responses.

Crossfit BR is Tiered. You can buy a punch card for $10 a class, go month to month, or do 3 or 6 month contracts. All the boxes in the area wanted a 6 month contract, we liked the trainer at crossfitBR the best and to top it off he has a killer deal for couples. It was cheaper to do the couples deal at Crossfit BR than to do an individual contract at the other BR area boxes.

$115 per month. Not sure about the 6 month contract being standard for the area, but I would imagine most have a minimum time. Just to note that the contract does not have to be renewed for an additional 6 months. It becomes a month to month contract after the initial period.

This, I contacted all the boxes in Baton Rouge, all wanted a long term contract but they turn into month to months. Couples rate is $160 I believe at CrossfitBR, maybe $150, I would have to check for sure. Cheapest option by far. $115 isn't bad at all, considering some in the area charge $200+ a month. One Box would cost $370 a month with the couples discount they had.

As far as price and contracts, my wife and I go to Crossfit Virtus in Gonzales, they offer punch cards, month to month, 6mo, 12mo & 24 mo contracts. The longer you sign up for the less the cost. Month to month is $150 and is a no contract deal. I'm not suggesting you come out there cause it is way far from where you want to be, just giving the pricing example.

Over here in Mandeville at Crossfit Launch the membershit is $150/mth or if you pay for 6 or 12 months it is $100/mth. Definitely worth it.

Sure do wish some of my fellow crossfitters were also BS members...

I like it, and you can try it free for a week. I haven't been to the other boxes, other than when shopping. Worst you could do is take the free week, not like it and not sign up. www.crossfitBR.com , oh yeah, and we do get referral discounts if you do go...
