Richard Russell CrossFit Monterey Bay - Monterey, California

I dropped-in here for a week while on a family vacation, and this CrossFit couldn’t have been nicer. The coaches were knowledgeable and the programming challenged me. The price was incredibly reasonable, and if I get the chance I will definitely be back!

Months of physical therapy was getting me nowhere, it just wasn't enough to promote the muscle growth I needed to stabilize my spine and extremities. I was approaching 60 and not liking where things were headed. So in May '21, I turned to Richard Russell CrossFit Monterey Bay, and I'm so glad I did.

I get the most insightful and informative support from all the coaches--and especially Dallas--who has advanced training in kinesiology. The CrossFit workouts are so well-crafted and varied that you can't help but grow stronger. There are world-class athletes coaching and working out here and competing in national events. And they are eager to share their vast knowledge base on proper lifting techniques in every class, with helpful individual feedback on each member's form.

The management team Josh and KC (who also run a box at a winery in Soledad) enjoy putting on special events, holiday gatherings and organizing trips to other gym's events. There is a deep bench of talented coaching they draw on to run their classes and they are highly engaged with all of the membership.

It feels like I'm growing younger with each session. I'm now running again, hoisting weights overhead, climbing ropes, doing kipping pullups on the high bar like a gymnast. So many adventures in the outdoors are now possible. The other members here crack me up. And sometimes I laugh just for the joy of a good honest workout. I feel fortunate to be a part of this very special place.

I can't say enough about all the support Bruce and I get at Richard Russell Crossfit. We attend the Monterey Bay gym at 220 Dela Vina Ave. in Monterey, CA. We've been an official member since Feb 2021. We went from attending two days a week to four days a week and we're finding we are much more flexible, stronger and are building up stamina. We are both over 65 years of age and we encourage anyone of any age to join us for a great time! You don't have to be an Olympian athlete to join.
Sincerely, D & B Rowe

What a great gym & awesome people. We were visiting from Connecticut to run Big Sur. We wanted a good moving day and it was perfect. Highly recommend!

I've been a member here since 2018 and recommend it for its knowledgeable, invested coaches. If you come through the door, you'll be encouraged at every step. Everyone is part of this gym's "in-group," and the community feeling sets Richard Russell Crossfit MB apart from other CF gyms. If you commit to coming consistently, you'll become stronger, more flexible, and faster. Guaranteed results, you cannot derive more value than that.

The owners and coaches are fully invested and really care about giving their clients the best experience possible. It doesn't matter your fitness level, you can get a great workout here! My go-to gym anytime I'm in the Monterey area.

I had to call multiple times for multiple days before getting a hold of somebody. When I finally did I was so happy with what we discussed and the plan we came up with. However while I was waiting for a coach to contact me to set up dates and times and being passed to yet again a different coach ,someone finally got in contact with me, ( 4 days and 3 phone calls later) ... We set up a day but was told she would be in contact to set up the time. It's been 6 days and I've yet to hear back. Sorry Crossfit Monterey I had a good feeling about this place when I visited it and after I spoke to the first gentlemen.. however I guess you are too busy for me and don't need my business so I will join another gym.
