Riptide CrossFit is 100% the best gym in Fort Lauderdale. The coaches are super attentive, knowledgeable at all movements and happy to provide scaling options if you’re not wanting to do the full workout as prescribed. The whole gym coaches and members are super welcoming to new members and drop-ins. Definitely stop by.

This place is so much more then a CrossFit gym. Bing in a nomadic industry it’s hard to finally settle and make friends. Thanks to Riptide I now have more than just friends. The coaches are next level and will help you define your CrossFit experience. I have been traveling and working out at different boxes around the world - nowhere has yet to match the caliber of community Riptide provides.

Great communication. Great atmosphere. Great community. The vibe here is so friendly, we couldnt get over how nice everyone is. We were able to drop in 3 times while on vacation and do 2 of the open workouts. They have amazing coaching. Some of the best coaching we have seen and we have dropped into gyms all over the country and world. They are not just there to get people in and out of classes, they genuinely have a passion for crossfit and want to see people succeed. Thanks for a great experience. Would definitely visit again and hope to.

Great Gym. If you’re looking to drop in or join, they are so welcoming! Coaches clearly explained the movements and standards. I was dropping in from out of town and they treated me as if I had been there forever. Awesome people!

This place turned into my second home literally after my first class. They’re culture is amazing and besides being an awesome place to meet new people and become part of a community, the workouts and programming are super challenging, encouraging you to become a better athlete every day. I love this box🤍

10/5 stars! The best thing about this gym is the community. Every class is welcoming and inclusive and everyone is supportive of each other. The coaches set this tone by treating each member like family. It doesn’t matter your fitness level or experience with CrossFit, they will help you reach your goals and push you even further. Going to class is the best part of my day!

Well, I went in for a trial week and never left. I love the atmosphere, coaches and ever evolving workouts that kick my butt and keep me humble. I have tried many gyms over the last 15 years, but I found a home at Riptide.I am in the best shape of my life and Ive gained a community of support. Im excited to see what the future holds at Riptide.

I started at Riptide CrossFit with no previous CrossFit experience whatsoever. The coaching staff immediately made me feel very welcome there and I have been enjoying it ever since. All of the coaches are great and provide all the guidance you could ever possibly want, the social community at the gym is also amazing. Classes are set up with an emphasis on reinforcing appropriate lifting/exercise techniques which is great for beginners who are new to certain movements such as olympic lifting or more advanced members who are looking to refine their technique. I highly recommend this gym!

Nate Gonzales is one of the best coaches I have ever met. His ability to teach the technique and extract the best of me has helped me a lot on the past six months. Also, I’ve had the opportunity of a buy in at Riptide CrossFit at the end of 2020 and it was awesome! Great gym and great atmosphere! It’s a shame I don’t live in Fort Lauderdale! Otherwise, Riptide surely would be my first choice of box for training. Thank you!

I have been doing CrossFit for six years and have been a member at various gyms in different states.In less than a year, I have become an active member at Riptide and am partaking in personal training to improve my weightlifting. I have seen immense growth in my form, performance and fitness within the short amount of time. I fully attribute those results to the individualized care and attention given by the coaches.Riptide’s focus is not solely on fitness but also on the longevity and wellbeing of its athletes. Each coach takes the time to get to know everyone who sets foot in the door, whether they are a regular member or simply dropping in. They are constantly looking to provide new and innovative programs to help their members achieve their goals.Lastly, they prioritize creating a familial environment. The camaraderie shown in every class is one not easily found.If you are interested in a long term gym, look no further. Riptide offers the whole package.

Ive been seeing Coach Nate for OLY training for the past 4 months, if it wasnt for him I would not be where I am today in such a short time period. I have PRd all of my lifts by 20+ pounds, gained nutritional insight, and boosted my self confidence in all my lifts. Coach Nate takes the time to go over EVERYTHING he teaches you all the lifts with proper technique and takes the time to make sure his athletes understand and progress in this sport. Not only have I gained such an amazing coach I have gained a family at riptide that all find lifting as passionate and as fun as I do. Every other coach and member is beyond welcoming and show you inclusivity and what a Crossfit/Lifting community is suppose to be. Coach Nate opened his doors and coaching experience to me and I have seen nothing but progress and gained amazing mentorship. I am beyond excited to have Coach Nate by my side throughout my OLY journey and for my first OLY meet this summer!!!!

I have been going to Riptide for over two years now and it was one of the most life-changing decisions I ever made. I might be a little biased because I met my fiancée at Riptide, but thats just one way Riptide changed my life! I also met some of my best friends, learned more about nutrition, and got stronger. I am doing things I never thought imaginable (hello, handstand push-ups??); and going to class at Riptide is always my favorite part of the day because of the people in class with me. The coaches are top notch, too. They are well-versed in the craft, constructive, and motivational; and their energy and care for the members keeps you wanting to do better to make them proud.This gym has the most wonderful and diverse community - everyone is greeted with a smile and, if applicable, a scaling option, so theres no pressure if you think you cant do something. The coaches will ~always~ find something for you to do. And we have a bell to ring when you hit that personal record, which is the BEST feeling.

This gym sets the bar for great coaching, helpful staff, and friendly members. I love the vibe- the perfect combination of jovial camaraderie and “let’s push ourselves” attitude. I have dropped into CrossFit gyms traveling all over the world, and I always enjoy coming home to the supportive environment at Riptide. Great full-body workouts and top notch coaching.

These guys are awesome – I feel so comfortable working at my own pace and still doing the CrossFit daily cycle. My favorite part is I can work out in the fresh air! I always hear “be careful” when I tell friends I am doing crossfit – I always tell them how present and encouraging the staff are there, they always help with alignments or alternative methods to get the results; been recommending Riptide to all my friends!

After doing Crossfit for a year down in South Beach, I made the move up north and had to find a new gym. After touring a few of the local places, I felt at home at Riptide. Santi, and the rest of the staff, were incredibly welcoming, and took the time to get to know me as well as promote camaraderie and courtesy among all the members/drop-ins. Their coaching methodology is the antithesis of what the outside world deems Crossfit to be, which is work out fast and get hurt. Ive actually found their programming and focus to be better than my previous gym in terms of spending more time focusing on improving all facets of the sport, where a good portion of the daily class is on skill work. If you cant do it properly, youre going to work on it at lighter weights or slower speeds until you can.Its been a great few weeks here, and would highly recommend to anyone within the area regardless of skill or experience level.

First of all, this gym is so cool!! It’s design is very unique, bright and fun! Second, the coaching is some of the best I have ever had along with the nicest people and coaches! I highly recommend them for a drop in, if you’ve never even stepped foot in a gym or maybe just wanna meet some awesome people!! The gym is very well kept and clean/organized. Small community feel to it as well! You won’t regret a good workout and meeting some great people!

As a new transplant to South Florida finding a box that feels like home with great coaching was the biggest struggle. Once I checked out Riptide CrossFit, I didn’t even finish my 5 day free trial before signing up. Coming up on my 7th year of CrossFit, I could recognize the coaching is unparalleled to any other box I have been to.Doing one on one sessions with coach JT helped me tremendously in overcoming my fear of movements that I have been avoiding for years.I would highly recommend this box to anyone who wants to be surrounded by fun, motivated people and also develop life long friendships!

Review №26

The atmosphere and community here at Riptide is unmatched! Ive only been here for a few months now and you can see how the Riptide Coaches truly care about your growth & performance.I was worried about getting into CrossFit after having knee surgery almost 5 years ago. I have struggled with full mobility in my left knee ever since. I thought that not having full flexion was just a reality post surgery. Ive been doing training sessions here at Riptide with Coach Nate for two months now and I have gained full flexion back in my left knee!! This has been a gamechanger and I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Coach Nate! His experience & knowledge with strength & mobility has helped me gain so much progress in such a short period of time. I truly did not think that I would be able to fully squat without discomfort but now I can do CrossFit comfortably & confidently. I cant recommend all of the Riptide coaches enough. This is not only an awesome CrossFit Gym but also has top notch training to support your needs!! Thank you Riptide Fam!

Was in town for the day and had no motivation to utilize the hotel gym. I am new, but active in CrossFit back home so did a quick search for a local box. The owner, Santi, replied back and welcomed me into his community for the evening workout. The space was open and inviting and the membership was strong and helpful. I felt very comfortable and was treated no different than one of the regulars. The workout was inclusive, manageable, and scalable for people of any level of fitness. I got in a great and well rounded workout and met some great folks at the same time.

I dropped in to Riptide and loved it! The owner, Santi, was coaching, and he did a great job of making sure I had done CrossFit and knew what I was doing. He introduced me and the other visitor to the class so we felt welcome and offered great feedback on my snatch. The class had a pretty wide range of fitness and experience, and he was able to speak to everyone (in English and Spanish!). Will definitely go back next time Im in Miami.

First and foremost, Riptide Crossfit provides the warmest reception to all people and levels of fitness. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and help ensure that you are pushed to the next level with proper technique. I came to Riptide from LA Fitness and it has rejuvenated my fitness level and excitement. They are very community orientated and I have instantly been welcomed by all. My only regret is that I didnt sign up sooner.

This box is focused on helping you improve yourself, your life and the community! New to CrossFit... no problem, they will walk you through it. Experienced rx pro... no problem, they will help push you to a new level. Riptide, thank you for always making me feel welcome and part of your community.

Riptide Crossfit has a friendly, easy going atmosphere that welcomes newcomers. There are always several trainers working with someone on hand to give personal training and coaching. Everyone works out at their own level and encourages each other. I started the classes with a problematic calf injury, and I feel the work there has helped me to make a full recovery. The classes are always varied, never repetitive from one day to the next. After most work outs I really feel I pushed myself, and overall I feel my body trending towards complete fitness. If you want a challenging workout at your own level in a friendly, encouraging environment, go check it out.

I dropped in from out of town. The facility is great and easy to get to in the morning by Uber. Coach Santiago made me feel welcomed and pointed out to the regular box members that they can also look for CF boxes to drop into when traveling. I communicated with the staff via email prior to my visit and they were very prompt and friendly. You can pay and sign the waiver online before dropping in which makes it a super smooth experience.Highly recommend Riptide for out-of-town drop ins.

Talk about a great team! I was in town for work, called three Crossfit boxes and after talking to Santi, Riptide was the only one I felt excited to go to. Santi and his entire team of coaches were incredible! So friendly and so prepared to support any person in their class achieve their goals. The space was open and inviting and the membership was strong and helpful. It really appeared they take incredible pride in their coaching, especially when it comes to form and ensuring that every person is prepared to do their best. If I lived in Fort Lauderdale, this would be my home.

Ive been attending Riptide for about 4 months now and I absolutely love it. The workouts are versatile so you’ll never get bored and the staff and the other members are friendly (and supportive) and you actually end up making new friends. Before Riptide, I tried quite a few other workouts around town, but quickly lost interest with the routines, not to mention I wasnt getting good results as I’m getting now. It’s a pleasure to step into that box each time and I recommend everyone who is looking to change things up in a major way to give it a try; you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Every now and then I get to drop into different gyms when I’m traveling. A few weeks I was pleasantly impressed and surprised by @riptidecrossfit .My flight to Colombia was delayed so it gave me time to stop in and be part of the 5 pm class. This ~1200sqft gem embodies everything I know and love about CrossFit. It is pristine clean, organized, personable, and most importantly has amazing coaching is welcoming to the COMMUNITY. With brief queues that were delivered precisely, coach never stopped building me up, teaching me, and celebrating with me. Owner @santicallejas10 even introduced himself when he stopped by the gym briefly, and made me feel so welcome.I am not the type to write reviews but I enjoyed my time here so much, I felt they deserved a shout-out.So friends, if you live in Fort Lauderdale or are just visiting, give this place a go! You wont regret it!

Riptide Crossfit welcomed me with open arms a year and a half ago, and I still look forward to going every day. I am forever grateful to the coaches for building such a great community and for being so encouraging throughout my Crossfit journey.

Whether you are a beginner looking to get in shape or an experienced Crossfitter, Riptide is a warm environment where you can enhance your fitness and make great friends.

Review №62

I moved to Florida a little over 3 years ago. I came down alone, leaving behind all my family and friends in New Jersey. I always had a knack for fitness and weight lifting, so I joined a global gym. After about a 2 years I wanted something more. I took up running, and one day ran past Riptide Crossfit. The second I walked into this place it felt like home. I was immediately greeted and told come try us out. The staff are incredibly friendly down to earth people. I tried it for a week and was hooked.Over a year and a half later I am still a member of the Riptide family. I say family because that is exactly what this box has to offer. Besides amazing coaches, rock solid programming, and awesome atmosphere, this box has a tight knit community. We push each other to achieve more and do better, and pick each other up when one falls down. I thought I would be lonely down here in Florida after I moved, but after finding Riptide, I truly feel like I am part of a family.I have also pushed all my PRs (personal records) through the roof. The coaches here have pushed me to become a better athlete and lifter. In June I will be competing in my first lifting meet and I am ready to bring home a gold !!Thanks Riptide Crossfit.

I cant say enough good things about CrossFit Riptide and the trainers there. Its easy to see that the trainers are genuinely concerned about their students and treat everyone equally no matter what fitness level you are at. Everyone is given the attention they need to develop proper form at the same time being pushed to challenge themselves.I have been visiting Riptide for one month now. Every WOD that I complete gives me more motivation for the next.If you are interested in trying CrossFit for the first time or searching for a box to drop in on, CrossFit Riptide is the place.

Review №77

As someone who is brand new to Crossfit I will be the first to admit I was very skeptical about coming in and checking it out. I was nervous due to the fact I had never done anything this strenuous to my body with such high intensity. I didn’t know any of the lingo, had never done many of the lifts or workouts, and most importantly I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to perform at the same rate as others. Well within minutes that fear was gone as I learned that at Riptide it’s not about how much weight you can lift or how fast you can do the workouts. It’s about the form and technique to make sure you are comfortable in what you do so you can progress at a rate that is comfortable for you and prevents unnecessary injuries. I went through a 4 course beginners class where the owners really focus on your form and make sure your technique is down pat before they even let you add weights. That was very helpful and insightful, and even after I started the classes with larger groups Corey has made sure to keep an eye on me in helping with my technique and form. I am really looking forward to my progression. In the past I used to dread going to the gym, now I can’t wait! Riptide gets my highest of recommendations!

My riptide experience lasted about a year. In that year I gained confidence and met a lot of my fitness goals. I was fortunate enough to start my crossfit journey and learn all my foundation moves through them. I was sad to leave this box due to moving cross country. Since I left I have yet to find a box with coaches as knowledgeable and who do their job with as much passion as the ones at riptide. I must say that Corey and Najeeb take pride in their business and truly have a talent for what they are doing!

I have been going to crossfit at Riptide since the end of July and love it. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, They are also very cautious of injury, sticklers for proper technique, and while they do push you, they do so in a safe, encouraging and fun manner. I feel I have progressed significantly since joining but more so than that I can see the people around me progressing as well. When youre in a training environment and you can see progress, not only in yourself, but in others, its a huge indication your coaches are able to train individuals from a vast array of athletic backgrounds. Im a professional dancer, there are people with extensive sports backgrounds and even those relatively new to working out completely. We can all train together at our own pace in a supportive environment. Everyone is really friendly and supportive. Sure it may be smaller than most boxes in the area but the personal attention helps you learn faster, and worth well over the amount we pay.

I have been part of the Riptide Crossfit FAMILY in Fort Lauderdale since September 2014. I have never felt stronger in my life. The coaches are constantly encouraging all the athletes no matter what their level is! They will always train, correct and push you to your limits. In my personal experience I have a free fibula graft in my left arm and in the past few weeks I have been able to do things that I would not imagine I could do!!! They also support the Military community. Whether is a drop in or you sign up they will give you the same Family treatment. If you are not sure whether this Box is right for you I encourage you to drop by and you will validate my review!

I have been going to this Box for about 4 months. I started with a Groupon and joined shorty after. I love the atmosphere, small class sizes and trainers. The trainers give you that extra push to keep coming everyday! I have only had a great experience so far!!!

I visited Fort Lauderdale during a business trip from Geneva, Switzerland. I dropped-in Riptide CrossFit for my usual morning WOD. I was very impressed by the box spirit. I felt very welcomed by Santiago about 5 seconds after I set foot into the box. I highly recommend anyone who visit Ft Lauderdale to go there for CrossFit. Thanks again Santiago for your spirit! Take care!

Most down to earth crossfit in the area. Owners are very reasonable and involved. They seem to genuinely care about feedback from the members. The trainers have always been awesome. There are 2 new trainers who are also awesome and very involved. They finally found another girl trainer (yay). My brother competes and whenever hes in town he drops by and loves it. He worked out with one of the owners who he commented really knows his $#!t. Highly recommended.

I couldnt be happier to call Riptide my home box. Ill echo everything thats already been said by the other reviewers and will add: the environment is extremely friendly, supportive, challenging, and unpretentious. The coaches Najeeb, Corey and Santi really know what theyre doing, challenge and support you, all while keeping it fun. I was in no way a gym rat prior to joining, and now I can easily that my time at Riptide is something that I look forward to every day.

Ive been to several boxes in the Broward area, Riptide is one of the better ones. Coaches have a wealth of knowledge and always focus on your weakness to improve while taking any injuries into account. Excellent warm ups to avoid injury is a plus!

Being relatively new to Crossfit, this was my first drop-in. Out of countless options in the area, Im glad I went with Riptide. I felt like I picked up right where I left off in Lexington - needing some technique reminders and extra attention since Im still new to crossfit. I felt as comfortable at Riptide as I do at 859 in Lexington and was pleased it was a warm environment turned into high intensity when the WOD got rolling. If youre visiting the area, this is a solid choice. Friendly people and solid coaching.

Riptide CrossFit is the best place to go for drop-ins in Ft. Lauderdale. Santiago was super friendly, the workout was great and scaleable, if necessary, and the box is so colorful and welcoming. If we visit again, I will be sure to come back. Great place!

Profesional coaching and great atmosphere to workout out. I’ve always been afraid of the Crossfit movements in weightlifting but the training here has really helped me overcome that fear. Thank you coach Santiago!!!

This was the second time I was able to stop by Riptide Crossfit in Fort Lauderdale for a workout while on vacation, and had another great experience. This is a great facility near downtown to get a workout in. The instructors are knowledgable and friendly and the members are very welcoming. I was able to hop right into two classes during the week and get great workouts in both time with great instruction. Thank you to the staff for being so welcoming. Looking forward to stopping in the next time Im in town!

Being completely new to Fort Lauderdale - and fairly new to CrossFit - I was nervous and slightly intimidated when searching for a box in the area. I did my research and visited just about every gym I could before finding Riptide. During my trial week here I knew immediately that this was the place for me. Santi and everyone at the gym instantly made me feel welcome and were incredibly helpful with both getting me used to the gym and the area. The group of people who go here is incredibly diverse, with individuals of all fitness and experience levels – so you never feel out of place. This adds to the sense of inclusion here, and Santi and team are always willing to provide modifications and extra help to make you feel comfortable and assist you in reaching your goals. I would definitely recommend Riptide to any visitors or those looking for a gym, whether they be experienced or new to CrossFit. Come check it out!
