Going to a new gym can be intimidating, especially a CrossFit gym! But from the moment my wife and I walked through the doors at Sua Sponte, we felt welcomed and included. The owner, John, came over and shook our hands, gave us some words of encouragement, and made us feel even more comfortable. All of the coaches are amazing! They know who the newbies are in each class and they take the time to make sure you fully understand each move. They seem to genuinely want you to enjoy your CrossFit experience and that makes a world of difference! Everyone we’ve met in the classes have been really nice as well and we’re thoroughly enjoying our journey to get stronger and healthier! Thanks John, Kanoa, Amanda, Ariana, Paige, Chad, and Steven!

I started at Sua Sponte about two years ago with no experience with CrossFit, weightlifting or fitness in general. The coaches are amazing and take the time to help every member, whether a novice or seasoned athlete. The community is extremely friendly and welcoming. I look forward to my workout every day and am amazed at how much I enjoy working out - something I never would have said two years ago!

Sua Sponte has got to be the best CrossFit gym in the triangle. I grew up as an athlete, played a D1 college sport, played professionally, and STILL always hated working out - especially lifting weights. I started coming to Sua Sponte with a friend and fell in love with the atmosphere, coaches, and the diverse people who workout there - and then automatically the workouts (including the lifting) became fun as well. The coaches are very patient with beginners and continually give you little coaching points along the way, all without being too overbearing. Now Sua Sponte is a regular part of my weekly routine and I wouldnt change it for anything!

This place has something for everyone and all levels! As an almost 58 year old (and never a natural athlete) I am always made to feel at home and never judged. I have received top notch technical instruction and am always encouraged to do my personal best. Not only do the coaches excel at what they do, but the other members are great as well and it’s just a really fun place to go to!!!

Dropped in on a Saturday morning. Awesome workout, everyone was super nice and had a great time. Coaching was great with an excellent warm up and constant motivation and energy.

Simply the best coaches, and a great community. Anyone can do CrossFit, every move can be modified if necessary. You will do things you never thought you could, and everyone will be cheering you on. I recently had some significant shoulder surgery, and I recovered faster than I thought possible - shows the strength I had before surgery, and the motivation to get back into it, at the right pace. No better place to get your fitness on!

I wasnt sure what to expect when I walked through the door for the first time, but Im extremely happy that I did. The trainers are amazing, the workouts are always different and very challenging. Youre not allowed to have bad form, which is very refreshing. The owner and staff are super friendly and make you feel apart of the gym right from the very first day. Ive never felt intimidated because I couldnt do what some of these athletes do, but they encourage me non the less. I would wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone looking to change things up and get seriously fit very quickly.. With that said, you get out of it what you put into it!

I decided to informally stop by at Sua Sponte after trying a few places around Raleigh. After the first class, I knew it was the right place for me. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. The trainers are awesome; they really pay attention to your technique and form to make sure there are no injuries. So glad I joined! I feel great physically and mentally. If you want to do Crossfit, Sua Sponte is the place you need to be!

Nice gym and good coaches!

As soon as I joined I was immediately welcomed into the community with open arms. Being someone who’d never spent much time in the gym, I wasn’t familiar with most of what was going on at first. Even still, I never felt out of place. The entire team is great, can’t wait to go back!

Finally ready to see what all the hype was about, I stopped by Sua Sponte one Saturday to take a look. John stopped what he was doing to sit down with me to explain the methodology of CrossFit and the approach that he and the other trainers take. That next Monday night I went for a trial work out and knew right away (well... once I caught my breath) that this was the place for me. All the trainers know this stuff cold and are great teachers to a newbie to the sport! Thanks guys!!

I dont take to gyms in general, and I dont take to fads in particular. I was wary of Crossfit hype, but had become friends with some folks who go there and got to know the owner, John. I took the plunge and found a really great community that is supportive and fun to be around. I also lost some middle age waistline. The coaches are awesome, going so far as to even hold one of my younger children while I worked out. The environment is non-judgmental and I laugh almost as much as I workout.

Incredibly helpful coaches & an inspiring community of friendly folks. I have serious back problems (S1/L5 ruptured disc; was bedridden from April 20 to May 3 2017), but HAD to strengthen my back somehow. Thought about a personal trainer, but was told by a chiropractor that CrossFit could provide both the oversight, strength training, & accountability that I needed to advance my recovery. He was absolutely right! My muscles are sore, but my back is finally feeling strong again after nothing but pain for a long time.

Awesome box - the entire staff is super knowledgeable and the programming is always challenging - def made some gains this summer!

I’ve been a member of a crossfit gym for a year now and decided to drop in at this gym while traveling. The coach Emily was fantastic and really attentive to everyone. The members were welcoming and the workout was challenging. I will definitely be visiting again when I’m in Raleigh.

Great drop-in experience. For a traveling CrossFitter the facility was easy to find, website was packed with all the correct information, and the BOX contained the latest ROGUE equipment. The owner contacted me within an hour of my original email regarding affiliate drop-ins. I would highly recommend CF Sua Sponte to everyone......from beginner to competitor!

Sua Sponte has been a great experience for me. The structure and purpose of the workouts each day make it easier for me to get to the gym and stay in shape. Every one of the coaches are knowledgable in what they are doing, which keeps your muscles/body safe in the intense workouts. Wouldnt change a thing!

Switched over from another gym looking for a place to work hard & de-stress. Sua has been the perfect place for me plus more. So inviting for a newbie to Crossfit. The coaches & members are amazing. We challenge & support each other & most importantly have fun!

Great coaching and members at Sua Sponte. Very welcoming and have helped me get a lot stronger quickly. Highly recommended if youre looking for a great Crossfit experience.

Ive been a member here since its opening in 2012. The facility is top notch, equipment is in great condition. The coaching and programming is excellent. Plus, now Im ripped.

My wife and I joined Sua Sponte last summer after relocating to Raleigh and we have not been disappointed. Incredible staff and coaches! Excellent programming! They cater to the experienced crossfitter as well as to those individuals who are curious about crossfit, either with or without athletic backgrounds. I could go on and on about how great this place is.

Sua Sponte is my home away from home! The coaches are top-notch and it feels like a family there.I love my Sua family!

Ive never done crossfit before entering this gym. Ive lifted weights for years but have always heard negative comments about crossfit and the form that was used. I can say Sua Sponte is the exception. The trainers and very friendly and hands on. The atmosphere here is very motivating. Everyone has been really supportive and understanding of my fitness goals and overall newbie status. Id recommend Sua Sponte to anyone who wants to get serious not just about their fitness but their athletic performance also.

This is a great place to train and grow! The coaching and community is terrific. So glad I found this box to call home.

Love this gym! Have been a member for almost 3 years now. Best programming, coaching and community around!

A great gym with great coaches who are extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. Signing up should be an easy decision!

This is one of the best CrossFit Gyms I have been to in the world. Instruction is top-notch, coaches are phenomenal and the atmosphere is positive and challenging.

Although I typically work out at the Durham Sua Sponte, I love visiting Raleigh! We stay connected via WODify, social media, and joint hangouts. I couldnt ask for a better community, facility, programming, or coaching!

If youre reading online reviews of local gyms with the thought of giving crossfit a try, then look no further. Ive been a member at this gym for 3 years now and my only regret is that I didnt join when it first opened. The quality in programming and staff here at Sua Sponte is bar none, there is no comparison. I have found this time and time again as I travel often for work, and have had the pleasure of dropping in at several other boxes. So if your looking for a box to drop in at, or considering giving crossfit a shot, then look no further. Youre not going to find a better gym.

I highly recommend Sua Sponte! Excellent place to work out. The owner and the coaches are very knowledgeable and care about making you better and fitter. They are in top condition and are good examples. I had never done Olympic weightlifting or any basic crossfit moves so I completely started from scratch and even struggled with running but the coaches and members were welcoming and supportive. In only six months I was able to make a lot of progress and made significant improvement in my fitness, enough to have the skills and confidence to compete in the open. WODs are very challenging but they will gladly help newer crossfitters scale and feel comfortable. Lots of convenient class times and two locations. Great community of people! Check out Sua Sponte!

Really great community atmosphere. Great coaches and classes for all performance levels.

Been going to Crossfit Sua Sponte for 9 months now and absolutely love it. The environment is incredible, from the programming, coaches and the community. The best place in the RDU area to get fit

I love this place! Awesome coaches, great programming, and cool people!

Awesome place to train and drop in if out of town. Highly recommend 🏋🏼

Been a part of CFSS since October of 2013. I thought i was fit before beginning training at CFSS, but quickly discovered I was lacking in many aspects of functional fitness. CFSS has been a great place to hone my fitness, while also enjoying a fun, welcoming atmosphere.

Great place to take your training to the next level--quality coaching, competitive people and excellent programming.

I couldnt imagine going anywhere else. Friendly environment, great programming, and awesome seminars.

If you are serious about getting healthy and in shape, this is the place. hands down, it is the best.

Outstanding gym! Clean, great coaching, awesome programs!

CFSS has the best coaches in the Triangle!

Great coaching, great facilities and fun environment.

The best programming and coaching!
