Block Crossfit

About

At Block CrossFit, we believe in the inclusive nature of CrossFit community and its power to transform anyone willing to put in the work.

Description

Our core belief at Block CrossFit is that CrossFit is a broad, general, and inclusive approach to strength and conditioning. While this describes the type of fitness our athletes achieve, it also describes what we mean by “our athletes”.

We make CrossFit accessible to you whether you’re a collegiate athlete or someone who just wants to get shed some pounds. This is about YOUR goals. The beautiful thing about this approach is that both types of athlete recognize each other’s effort and will often high-five after or even during a workout.

Joe King and Chris Cloes started Block CrossFit in a backyard in Redlands, CA and established it as a fully-fledged CrossFit gym in 2012. Still the original owners, Joe and Chris constantly work to improve the gym. They consistently upgrade the equipment, always keep the gym looking good, regularly schedule fun events (like our weekly BBQ), and make sure they and their trainers have ongoing education.

At Block CrossFit, we believe in the inclusive nature of CrossFit community and its power to transform anyone willing to put in the work.

"In 2012, Block CrossFit opened as an official CrossFit affiliate in Redlands, CA. Joe, Chris, and all their backyard friends now had a building with walls and a roof! And since that time, their little group has grown to include a few hundred members. A lot has changed since the backyard, but one thing remains the same: at Block, it’s about community.At Block, we always remember what it was like to do our first CrossFit workout. We remember how hard it was and how we didn’t think we could do it. We also remember what it felt like to have others cheering us on and how good it felt to finish. And now, we are stoked to be sharing this community with so many others."
