CrossFit 1808

When I joined my local box it’s not because I was hoping to be in the next @crossfitgames, it’s because I wanted more than the average workout. We moved out of the city and to a rural town requiring us to plant new roots. Do you know how hard it is to make new friends as an adult? hello nightmare! I decided to try out this crazy CrossFit thing. How hard could it be? I met with a coach to have some individual intro sessions who then invited me to a Saturday class. Walking in to a gym full of people ready for the WOD was a little intimidating. The coach introduced me and helped find a partner. What did I get myself in to? I was used to headphones and avoidance doing solo workouts. When we finished a girl came over and introduced herself to me. Several others gave praise and fist bumps The anxiousness disappeared as the endorphins took over. The energy was contagious. A couple years later and the same support has continued. I’ve met some great friends and never had a dull workout. What I appreciate most is that those members, coaches and owners care more than just a sweaty workout. We check in with each other, provide encouragement, support one another in tough times and share a lot of laughs! It’s more than a gym, more than a class, more than lifting weights and pushing goals. It’s a community like no other. Life is a little more fun with crossfitters by your side

The first time I went in 1808 I felt comfortable and confident. The people cheer you on and make you feel like family. My trainer was amazing and even in the classes the trainers still train you and root you on! I have been to many of gyms but this is more than a gym it is a place to grow and reach your goals!

If you’re looking for a gym that is welcoming, full of great coaches and fantastic programming, look no further. Every time I’m in town I look forward to dropping in for a killer workout! Love this place!

1808 is great! Since joining 6mo ago I feel good and want to push myself to get stronger.

Great place to workout. Doesn’t matter what your level of fitness is, 1808 has you covered. They do a wonderful job scaling and modifying to what works best for you and your fitness goals. 5 stars for their attention to detail with the pandemic. They have multiple 12x12 squares for each person to remain in while working out with all the proper cleaning materials when you are done. Strongly recommended

This is an awesome gym with an amazing group of people. The owners are very nice and the entire staff is knowledgeable and attentive. I have been dropping in for the week while on vacation from Florida. I was glad to see a cross fit gym in the downtown area because I visit my family here yearly and didn't want to fall off of my gym habits. I would strongly recommend this gym to anybody visiting or looking to start training. I will definitely be back my next trip up!!

I've attend 1808 for about 3 months now and have found all the coaches to be knowledgeable in their craft. There is always clear instruction on the workouts and movements to ensure everyone is doing the workout properly and at their own skill/fitness level. Highly recommend Crossfit 1808 if your looking for a Crossfit gym in the area.

I have seen myself grow here as a human-being farther than I ever would had I not joined. I have met some of my best, life-long friends here without question. I can fall flat on my face and know the people here will always be there to support me. Love this place.

If you are looking for a community that has your back and wants to see you succeed then CrossFit 1808 is the place! Owner, Nick, wants you to be your best in life.

Best CrossFit gym in Knox County!
