Fantastic box environment. Coaching is fantastic, great programming and an overall positive atmosphere. The people are friendly and encouraging! If you want to join a Crossfit gym, you wont be disappointed! This place is an excellent community for athletes of all levels!

This box is all about community and effective coaching. We are a group comprised of all different ages and backgrounds, but we support each other and are committed to a lifestyle of health and fitness. I truly believe people make the difference and Mike/Anjo (owners) make the difference with this Box. They are always looking for ways to enhance our lives as crossfitters and it shows. The coaching is also incredible--always demonstrating movements, always giving athletes different ways to scale movements, always committed to strengthening their athletes. Dont miss out on this Box, it is well worth the money and commitment.

I LOVE CrossFit Optimistic! It is my home away from home. The community is amazing and I have never been fitter in my life.

Whether you are just exploring the idea of fitness or you are a seasoned athlete, Optimistic is for YOU. With highly knowledgeable and motivating coaches, well designed workouts, and a fabulously friendly and supportive community, CrossFit Optimistic will help you reach your health and wellness goals. We LOVE us some Optimistic!

Family friendly gym, great atmosphere! Mike, Angelina, and family do a great job at their gyms

Crossfit is a scary thing to undertake. CFO is ideal for anyone at any stage of their crossfit journey. CF Optimistic was my third gym in as many years because my family is in the military. Coach Mike welcomed us literally one day and we started two days later over Labor Day weekend. Being a fellow veteran AND CF athlete was quite appealing. People come to crossfit for the athletic challenge, but I believe that at CFO, you will stay because you are treated as an amazing asset to the gym.

I had the pleasure of working out here for about six months before I moved away. The owners are amazing people and the coaches are great and are truly there to help you progress at your own speed. It definitely has a family vibe so whether you are new to crossfit or looking for a new box, check this place out. Two and a half thumbs up.

CrossFit Optimistic provides a positive and family-like environment for those looking to better themselves physically and mentally. The workouts are challenging and fun, the coaches are amazing and everyone in general is supportive and a blast to be around! Its the perfect place to reach/exceed your fitness goals while making some great friends in the process.

The name says it all. The coaches are top notch --effectively teaching technique, encouraging you to push yourself and genuinely taking an interest in everyone regardless of skill level. Also, the members have a unique bond and have helped cultivate a relaxed, family-like atmosphere. I truly look forward to coming to CFO --even if we have to do overhead squats!

Could not be happier about my CrossFit home. Family friendly atmosphere. Incredible members that really feel like an extended family for me and my wife. Also have some personalized training programs that have made a huge impact on my performance. Please check these guys out. It could become your forever CrossFit box too.

Crossfit Optimistic is the perfect combination of serious workout and family environment. The coaches know their stuff and there is a daily emphasis on proper technique and safety. They have the knack of drawing my best effort out in every workout. I have seen a dramatic improvement in overall fitness, especially in strength, while at the same time, I have never enjoyed my exercise program more.

I love this CrossFit gym, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get fitter OR start CrossFit!! The coaches, community and facility are second to none. Its truly a family at CFO. This place is the BOMB!!

CrossFit Optimistic provides an exceptionally welcoming workout environment. The staff is fully engaged with the membership and committed to helping us achieve our goals. Ive gained strength and endurance and a whole new level of confidence in my abilities, which has transcended the gym and affected other aspects of my life in the most positive ways. Ive made some great friends and it really feels like my home away from home. Its a great place to WOD!

I love my CrossFit Optimistic family! The time I spend here, with this community, is always positive and inspiring. The culture flows from the top down. The owners and coaches are focused on helping you be the best you through exercise and nutrition. They are invested in helping you make consistent progress toward your goals. Whether you are brand new to fitness or you are a seasoned CrossFitter, you will fit in here! The instruction is thorough, the classes are well run and the atmosphere is encouraging. My time here is always the highlight of my day! Did I mention the music?!

You think you know about CrossFit gyms? This is a whole different animal. Cleanest box around, TWO showers, funny, knowledgeable, attentive coaches and a ridiculously friendly community. The wod is my favorite part of the day. If you dont LOVE your workout, you have to check it out.

I love this CrossFit gym! The members and coaching staff all feel like family to me. I highly recommend dropping in if youre looking for a new Crossfit gym.

If you are in North Central San Antonio or near Alamo Heights stop into eirher of the two Crossfit Optimistic locations. Great program, great people, great community

Awesome place, even better people . Amazing and friendly atmosphere

Amazing community, coaches and box.

I was looking to transition from competitive Rugby into something both social and challenging. Crossfit Optimistic has that and more! Having no Crossfit experience, the feeling of community surprised me. I have been encouraged and motivated to improve my workouts and personal health. Since joining, I am down 30 pounds and looking forward to work outs for the first time in a long time. Great staff and great people.

Extraordinary coaching staff and incredible team! I am the strongest I have ever been physically and mentally and I owe it all to CrossFit Optimistic. Your commitment and their training will get you results!

Cool place one in a million crossfit places with good equipment too and great classes! 🙌🏼

Excellence in every way from the WODS to the coaching! Both the coaches and the members want you to succeed beyond what you think you can. I cant imagine going anywhere else!

Great Crossfit gym! Made me feel like family the first time I ever stepped foot in the gym.

Without a doubt the best box ! The coaches really care about our health and safety. Having had shoulder problems in the past some of the exercises worry me but Coach Anjo help me find a safe way to perform all the WODs. The other members of our box make the WODs so much fun whether by cheering you on or seeing the previous times from the day and striving to top them.

Im an experienced athlete and let me tell you that this place is right up my alley, I truly recommend Crossfit Optimistic

I drive 23 miles one way from my house to Crossfit Optimistic. There are plenty of Crossfit gyms closer to my house. So why this one? Its the people of course.From the moment you walk through the door you are a part of the Optimistic family. The coaches care, your fellow members care and everyone is pulling in the same direction. There is a level and a pace for everyone. Never been to Crossfit before? No problem, there is something there for you. Five year Crossfit veteran? New challenges to be found here also.Almost every gym or box you visit will have enough equipment to get the job done. At the end of the day its the coaches and members that are going to keep you coming back...

Ive been a member at this box now for two years and the members and coaches are my 2nd family. Not only are the coaches knowledgable, they are very attentive to their members. Its obvious that members arent just numbers to them. Going to work out there is always one of the highlights of my day and I highly recommend Crossfit Optimistic for anyone looking to join a crossfit facility!!

I have been with CFO since they opened their doors in 2013 and have known Mike and Angelina even back further when they first moved to San Antonio to chase their dream of running their own business. One of the things that sets CFO apart from other boxes Ive dropped in on is the sense of family, or borrowing the title from Sebastian Jungers latest book, tribe. You are made to feel at home there regardless of your current state of physical fitness or experience as a CrossFit athlete. The other, that I have yet to see in other places Ive worked out in, is their concern for the safety of the athlete. I personally have been stopped while in the middle of a workout and been told Stop, look at what position youre in. You keep doing that and youre going to hurt yourself.. A little correction goes a long way in advancing the skills and work output of their athletes. In addition to using CFO for general physical preparedness, I have used CFOs (now hibernating) running program to gain a PR at the Vegas half marathon, their Ruck program to train and complete the 2015 and 2016 Bataan Memorial Death March (26.2 miles through the high desert of New Mexico while carrying 35 pounds of dry weight in a rucksack with close to 2,000 of elevation gain) as well as some informal sessions to complete numerous GORUCK events (GORUCK Tough Class 1727, Ingress Urban Ops Class 0016, GORUCK Navigator and GORUCK Light Austin in 2015). The breadth of knowledge Mike and Anjo possess expands beyond just the box.For the tl;dr crowd, theyre good people who care about their athletes, will make you feel like family and can introduce you to things outside of the CrossFit world.

You wont find a better community or box than CFO.

Best box in town!!!

Excellent.
