Where the trainers train

CrossFit Sweat Shop is not only home to people of all ages and fitness levels from Walnut Creek and the surronding areas, it’s also a gym that many personal trainers hold a memberships at. The level of instruction, combined with the supportive group environment make CrossFit Sweat Shop the ideal gym for beginners, as well as those that fitness is their career! I myself, before opening the Sweat Shop in Walnut Creek, was the Sports Performance Director for Velocity Sports Performance in Concord, and also worked at another top gym in Walnut Creek. And although I lived less than 2 miles from each of the gyms I worked at, I paid for a membership at CrossFit Oakland, and would drive there several times a week because of the superior instruction, and the supportive and challenging environment.

Lastly, I just wanted to say how proud I am of EVERYONE that trained on Saturday. Most people had little to no experience with the Snatch, but after the skill development portion of the class everyone did an awesome job maintaining excellent technique during a short, but challenging workout. It’s sessions like that, that get me so excited and remind me how thankful I am to be involved with such an inspiring group of people. Thanks everyone, keep up the great work!!
