I have been going to N.E.X.T. since it was near partners almost 10 years and I like the main gym. I even continued my membership through Covid to continue my support. I believe this part of the gym is now a different area, and its own entity. I’ve been learning new exercises for legs and wanted to use a helper bar for deadlift. This area is where the bar was when it used to be in the main gym a while ago. I used it once when classes were done, completely empty, and was talked to by someone I’ve never met and who wasn’t very personable. Essentially being told if I don’t pay the CrossFit membership fee, to get out even if it’s just for one bar. I understand enforcing rules even if I have been loyal and have always respected equipment. But in terms of fitness, there was no attempt to be personable or develop a relationship on alternatives to using the helper bar or deadlift. Didn’t even introduce themselves or ask me my name lol. Wasn’t a pleasant interaction and the main gym is always a mix of all members running in and out. I don’t see the value if the owners and instructors don’t try to learn people’s goals to assist and introduce new programs to people even if in my circumstance the desired goal is to present options that are included in the main gym. Certainly won’t be doing CrossFit here if I did ever decide to do it!
Perfect place for all types of fitness levels
Love this place
