Dropped into a class while traveling for work. The first thing I observed was how friendly the staff and fellow participants were. After a number of introductions and conversations I felt as though I had been a longtime member here. I consider myself fit, but a beginner in CrossFit. They welcome all different ages and fitness levels, and the diversity of the class shows it. Jason, the class leader was extremely helpful with my form through the different exercises, showing me the proper form rather than just allowing me to muscle through the workout. I recommend this place for anyone, at any level, and will totally be visiting again to help break up my routine the next time I am in the area.

Best gym! probably not just in our area :) great coaches, new equipment, friendly atmosphere and best prices. Every time I walk in, it feels like this is my family where everyone is welcomed. Definitely my happy place :)

Have been at NRCF for over 3 years. Gym is very diverse and inclusive of all fitness types. Offers scalability based on where you are in your journey to maximize your full potential. Coaches are great as well.

Dropped in while in Raleigh for work. Great coaches and community that are very welcoming! Plenty of equipment and a good variety as well. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area!

I have to say This faciality help me find my edge again, the coaches John (owner) And Bryce, have been nothing but help full, resourceful and always have an Answer if theres something you cant do, adjusting on the fly. If your new or someone like me whos trying to rediscover your self. Then you have to stop here and hear them out.

I have officially been going to this gym for a year as of today and I have to say, it has been a wonderfully enriching experience. The staff and athletes are very welcoming and classes are a blast! I would recommend this gym if you are looking for a community as well as a great workout!

Visited here for Crossfit Kettlebell seminar, great facility and staff. I know couple coaches here and they have a great adaptive athlete training. Some cool swag as well!

I stumbled upon Neuse River about a year ago and I can honestly say it’s changed my life. You have an amazing supportive community of people who truly include everyone and want everyone to succeed. From the owner John to the entire coaching staff they ensure proper technique and build you up as an athlete.

Neuse River Crossfit has been my second home/family for the past 2 years. I have never felt more welcomed by any other gym. John Prescott is a great gym owner/leader and he has a great team of coaches working with him. This gym is also spotless after every class because everyone knows during these times we need to keep things clean at all times. If you choose to come visit the gym you wont want to leave.

LOVED Neuse River CF. I am visiting from San Diego and wanted to do a drop in class, so stopped by here. The coaches and people were super welcoming and friendly, and I really liked how Coach Jason reviewed the WOD of the day, making sure we knew exactly how to move through it. And I even got better at my Dubs after taking his class.100% recommend, I’ll be sure to stop in again when we come back!

Absolutely love NRCF. When I started with John, nearly 5 years ago, I could barely run a mile and certainly could not lift more than about 20lbs. Within just 6 months, John was coaching me in advance gymnastic movements and had me challenging myself in every type of workout (including running). John has a special gift in motivating athletes to become the best version of themselves. He is tenacious and driven and most importantly makes class fun. This gym is truly unique and is more of a family than just a gym. NRCF offers a gym experience that can work for anyone and everyone. I highly recommend!

My husband and I followed some of our closest friends to this gym and we’ve never been happier about that decision. The coaches here are incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, patient, and encouraging. I love that our owner does so much community outreach and is highly involved with adaptive athletes. Neuse River is a gym for anyone.

If you’re in the area this is the place to be apart of. I only dropped in, but the community treats you like they’ve known for years. The coaches pay attention to the details of you’re form, and provide solids feedback. All while pushing you to hit new levels. In addition that facility has everything you can ask for with a lot of space.

Neuse River CrossFit is definitely the best gym in the area! The owner (John Prescott) is very knowledgeable and does an excellent job coaching the athletes and teaching them how to move better. I especially appreciated the verbal cues and drills in olympic weightlifting and gymnastics. Great community at the gym too!

It is exactly what I needed to get out of my rut. Every part of this journey has taught me life lessons but I’ll share two of the major ones. Number 1.....do not start anything without the proper foundations. Number 2......your ONLY challenge/competition is YOU! Thank you John and the entire Neuse River Crossfit Team!

Talk about community! Thats the bread and butter of CrossFit and the owner, John, gets it. I dropped in (traveling for work) and he made the experience easy and effortless. The members were all so welcoming, the facilities were amazing, and the coaches knowledgeable and adept. As an adaptive athlete box, they really do a fantastic job of catering to all fitness and ability levels, whether youre a first-timer or coming back after an injury, this place has you covered. Will definitely be back every time Im in town.

Took over 2k of my money, added hidden fees and then banned from the gym when I called him out over it, currently have legal action going on with owner John Prescott. Disclaimer - Had done work with John in the past, still have the website, had a check sent to me and then cancelled.

There are many good CrossFit Gyms in Raleigh but this one is exceptional! The quality of coaching and programming is great along with just a great and welcoming community. It is a bit out of the way for me but I promise it will be worth your drive regardless.

Dropped in for a class, which was coached by the owner. Super nice people and great facility. It was very accommodating for all levels. Had a great workout. I would definitely recommend this place!

Neuse River is made up of people from all walks of life that come to one place with a common goal - to get better. The owner (John Prescott) has done an incredible job of creating a culture of community and acceptance, but also one that holds you accountable and that’s rad. The work they do for adaptive athletes and those on the path to sobriety is also nothing short of inspiring. If you’re even remotely curious about Crossfit, come check out Neuse River!

NRCF provides amazing programming and an even better community! Only a few short weeks in, I had already felt like I had been going for months. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and the support amongst all members is always enough to get through even the toughest workouts!

Highly recommend dropping in (or joining!) this box if you are in the area. The coaches are very encouraging and knowledgeable about about CrossFit, and create an open and positive atmosphere. The members are very welcoming too. I look forward to going back next time I am around Raleigh. Thanks for a great post-Thanksgiving partner WOD!

Great workouts with excellent coaches! I am an adaptive athlete, and they have no problems finding ways for me to get the most out of my workouts. I highly recommend this place for anybody.

By far my favorite place to be other than my house. I feel like Im working out with friends in my own backyard. I want to leave work early every day to make it over there. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. This is the real judgement free gym. The coaches are highly skilled, enthusiastic, and dedicated to helping people better themselves physically and mentally. They work with you to find an adaptive movement that will work while you rehab. I am dealing with a back injury and they have helped me scale the workouts to strengthen and rehab. I was scared at first to get back in the gym, and they helped me every step of the way rebuild my confidence. . Thank you, Neuse River!

Neuse River is more than just a gym for me. No matter what walk of life you come from; Neuse River will make you feel welcome and make you feel like you can do this and will be great at it! From day one this place has encouraged me to be a stronger and healthier me! I owe so much to who I am now to Neuse River crossfit.

This place and these people have provided a facility and environment for me to obtain levels of fitness I didn’t know I was capable of reaching. I’ve been competitive throughout my life, and NRCF offers elite training that pairs extremely well. On a broader scale, NRCF specializes in helping people at any fitness level to progress at an impressive rate of speed. I’ve also made some great connections here and appreciate the inclusion that this community promotes. I strongly believe that fitness is for anyone and everyone, and I believe NRCF exemplifies this value well.

NRCF was not my first CrossFit gym so I knew what I was looking for in a gym. This gym has great coaches, plenty of equipment, a range of equipment and childcare in the mornings and afternoons. It would be impossible to work full time, take care of a household and CrossFit 5-6 days a week without the support from this community!

The coaches will work with you and keep you challenged. If you come here you will be taken care of and encouraged by both the staff and other members.

Hands down, the best CrossFit gym in Raleigh. As a physical therapist I look for coaches that are proficient in movements and coaching those movements. The coaches here go above and beyond those expectations. In addition the atmosphere is indescribable, everyone is family and everyone is pushing each other to do their best. The head coach’s mottos is always “Do better” in CrossFit, in life, in relationships, in all things.

I was so intimated by the idea of CrossFit. I heard Neuse had childcare so I figured it was worth a shot. I had my first day back in January and I havent looked back. The community of people and the coaching staff are amazing. Ive never been more in shape and after 30 years Ive finally found a workout / fitness program I can stick with for the long haul.

The owner is very helpful and kind, but will push you to do what you need to do. Great balance and great community!

Its all about the people. Ive always been intimidated by the gym thing. Theres always been the feeling of not knowing what Im doing and that Id be judged. The coaches and fellow members at Neuse River CrossFit make you feel part of something, investing in whatever your fitness goals may be. Welcoming is an understatement.

Im not sure where I would be without my Crossfit family at Neuse River. This facility offers EVERYONE a scalable, thorough workout with extremely professional and experienced coaches. Truly a remarkable workout experience.

Ive been to several other CrossFit gyms, but the people here are like family! The coaches take the time to help you improve, rather than just watching you workout. This gym is perfect both for beginners and for competitive CrossFitters. Whatever your level, youll have a new group of friends to cheer you on as you meet your goals!

Great community. The class times are convenient for all schedules. Led by experienced trainers that work with every level of fitness.

Great community, great coaching! The whole environment is built to support you no matter where you are starting, or what kind of shape you are in. Everyone is there to help you reach your personal goals. I cant say enough good things about this place!

Where to begin, I was one of the people who was scared of crossfit for the longest time because of the bad reputation it carries. For me, I have a back injury from 2013 that I have to be careful with otherwise I flare up. However, one day I decided try crossfit, and I have not turned back since. The community at Neuse River is probably one of the best communities you will ever come across. As for the coaches, they are all knowledgeable and can answer any question you may have or give you any modifications for movements you may not be able to perform. If you are looking for a new work out routine, or just starting your fitness journey and want to be constantly challenged I highly suggest dropping in to check it out and speak with a coach or the Owner John!

Best community bring adaptive athletes together

Completely inclusive and fabulous place. Coaches that will help you adapt or scale a movement to your individual needs while still pushing you to your full potential. One of the only places I have ever gone to do fitness where no one treats me different (I was born with one arm). Before I met this crew I didn’t even think I was capable of doing a burpee, let alone a rope climb; I’ve learned to do both (still hate burpees tho)! I literally can’t say enough good things!

Neuse River Crossfit is what other affiliates aspire to be; passionate coaches and tight knit community make this more than a gym, but a sanctuary.

This isn’t just a community - it’s a Home. Accepted as I am, but encouraged to be my best. My community, my encouragers, my fit fam. So thankful.

A place where the people are so amazing it makes you forget that you hate burpees and running 😆. I met this crew about 2 years ago when I stopped by to borrow a deadlift harness. I had NO intention of doing Crossfit, at all. Lol. They talked me into trying a workout and I haven’t looked back. Great coaches, great facility, greatest community ❤️

Clean facility, Professional atmosphere, Great community.

Absolutely the best place to workout in Raleigh! Great people, great coaches, great community!

Started crossfit about a year and a half ago. The first workout I did was the 100 burpee challenge (I was there just to try it out) my response to the 100 burpees was you want me to do what. John with a big ole smile on his face said something on the line of just try it. 30mins in and only about 70 burpees compelted people I had never met before were still cheering me on. I followed these same people and John to Neuse River Crossfit. I look forward to my workouts at Neuse River. It feels like one giant family just trying to better ourselves. If you have any kindof injury or limitation John or any of the other coaches will help modify the workout to best fit your ability. I Recently did the burpee challenge again. Time was 10 mins 46secs. :)

Already left two reviews for this gym, but Im leaving another one to express how much I approve of this place.

Best gym in Raleigh, the coaching staff is incredible and the results speak for themselves.

Awesome coaching and welcoming community!!! Great place.

I cant say enough good things about NRC. By far the best gym in the Raleigh area!

Crossfit for real, real-life. No better place in Wake County, period.

Wont find a more communal workout experience with coaches that really care and help to simplify movements.
