WELCOME
Looking for a CrossFit gym near you while on vacation? Or maybe you’re just looking for a gym near you to get moving again after being stuck inside.
We are located just minutes from the sugar sands of the Gulf of Mexico right here in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Whether you are a seasoned athlete, just want to get moving with one of our Boot Camp classes, or you are somewhere in between, we would love to meet with you and talk through your goals. Our accountability coaching will help you set and keep moving toward those goals!
That’s the beauty of our coaching style, we can adapt to fit your needs so you feel welcome and enjoy any class you attend.
Functional Movement” refers to maintaining the safest, most efficient position to power through a movement. There are plenty of misconceptions about CrossFit; much of what we do in our workouts mirrors activities in our daily lives. To the uninitiated, flipping a tire looks like crazy “he-man” work. But if you’ve ever had to move a mattress up a flight of stairs, you already know the movement. Cleaning a medicine ball may appear odd, but consider what your body does when you place your suitcase in a plane’s overhead compartment. If you’ve ever lifted a heavy bag of dog food or peat moss, no one needs to tell you the importance of arching your back. Gulf Shores CrossFit will help you maintain the correct position in a workout to keep you and others safe and maximize efficiency.

Foundations is where every Gulf Shores CrossFit member begins. It is a four class series of personal training sessions to get you familiar with the terms, movements, equipment, and to build your confidence in your goals. Once you have completed Foundations you can continue with personal training and/or hop into a CrossFit group class. See the Foundations Page for more details.

We offer a Foundation Class Series for anyone new to CrossFit. This is a 4 class series that will help you learn the basic CrossFit movements. You will work with a CrossFit Coach to help you master your movements and aid you in preparing to join a larger group class with confidence.
After you have completed your Foundation Class Series, you can opt to continue with personal sessions or join our group classes. -
To prevent or work with injuries, communication is key.
Whether you are new, or have been a member for a while, we encourage everyone to listen to their body, and communicate with the coach. Even if something is aggravating you, it is wise to communicate that to the class coach. The coach will then provide a scaled or alternative option for you that prevents further aggravation or injury.
All coaches are CrossFit certified and watch the members for proper form. Proper form will prevent injury. Every coach also goes through every movement and it’s scaled options for every class.
