Barbarian Athletics

Just started the crossfit classes and I can tell you that the exercises can be very difficult and intimidating at first. You think to yourself «I will never be able to do that». But soon you find yourself doing it. The classes are amazing and the instructors are fantastic! They guide you every step of the way and push you to your max. Come in and try it. You will NOT be disappointed.

Went here for my very first crossfit class. I was so impressed by the attention they give each person and understanding of each person level.

I highly recommended this gym if you are interested in crossfit or weightlifting, especially if you are a newbie. The coaches are very knowledgeable and focus on proper technique which is very important to prevent injuries. Also the coaches will try to work with your schedule if the class schedule does not fit your current schedule.

Great gym and a great atmosphere for getting in shape and learning. Chris & Joonee are great instructors that take the time to teach and ensure you are learning the proper techniques and are meeting your individual goals. Everyone I’ve met there has been friendly and encouraging. My son & I have been attending this gym for about a month and we are both happy w/​our gains so far and excited about getting closer to our goals!

I highly recommend this gym for anyone searching to better their health, gain strength, or perfect their technique whether it’s in Crossfit, Oly weightlifting, or any workout.
The equipment is top quality, the environment is always surrounded by motivated individuals, & the coaches definitely pay attention to the members! I’ve been Oly lifting for 4 months and I’ve already overcome many fears of lifting & notice great improvement in my strength & technique.
They accommodate many different schedules & make you feel welcome. They offer discounts for students/​those with good grades/​family package. Every dollar you spend here is worth it!

I can been coming here since 2014. Chris and the other coaches are very attentive and supportive. They know how to meet every person’s strengths and needs. They focus on CrossFit and weightlifting. This is a great place to get fit.

I love This gym. They were so welcoming when I first came in. Also the coaches are so attentive and really care about the members. Not only do they focus on strength but technique, to prevent from injury. Their support and home-​y feeling really makes me feel like I’m part of a family. A positive, motivating, strong family. Even better that my sister and brother in law work out with me too! :)

We just signed our kids up for their CrossFit kids program. Let me start off by saying that Chris and Genie create a very welcoming environment and the kids immediately felt at home. Both were very professional and you can tell that they are passionate with what they have there.
If you’re in the area or even just passing I highly recommend this box.

Extracted CrossFit and Weightlifting
I have had the pleasure of being a member since the beginning. I have seen this gym grow and develop as a community. The Extracted community continues to grow as a CrossFit and Weightlifting powerhouse in the SoCal area. Extracted is relatively new to the area. But it couldn’t be a better time to make a statement in not only the CrossFit but the Weightlifting Community (commonly referred to as Olympic Weightlifting).
The coaches who are motivated and dedicated to their craft and continue to expand their knowledge base. Focusing on walking before you run when it comes to workouts and movements. Chris and Genie have trained and been trainers at premier gyms with tenured and professional weightlifting coaches on both the west coast and the east coast. The coaches took all this training and competition experience back home and opened an ever-​growing Weightlifting and CrossFit Gym. Chris, Genie and Chris are amazing coaches accompanied by Cody the assistant coach/​athlete who adds to the knowledge of this gym. The coaches know what it is to be a competitor and a coach and use this knowledge to cater to whatever your fitness level may be or whatever your goals are.
As for the many members, they are family and welcoming to any newcomer. It has been amazing to see many of their members who had little to no fitness/​weightlifting background to be completely molded in front of your eyes into confident, safe and strong individuals. They all have a sense of camaraderie and continue to push themselves mentally and physically on a daily basis. If you really want to be impressed you should see the children’s classes that they offer nothing like a bunch of «little beasts» to get your attention and motivation.
If you have recently transitioned from CrossFit or any other sport into Weightlifting you must visit and spend some time training at this gym. The programming and eye for precise movement by the coaching staff is far superior to any other weightlifting gym in the area. The time the coaches have spent absorbing knowledge about the sport and honing their craft is obvious in how they have developed their weightlifting team… SoCal Weightlifting

After looking and looking for the right gym to go to, I found this one! The coaches are AMAZING and are VERY knowledgable in crossfit and weightlifting. My first day I felt like I was at home. If anyone is looking for a new gym or starting brand new, I really recommend this gym! They can tailor the workouts to your needs and can help with nutrition as well.

Great gym with some great coaches!
The staff and members of the gym are extremely friendly and supportive. They have a range of crossfit classes for women, beginners to those who are interested in just lifting heavy weights.
The coaches have your goals top of mind they will work with you to help you get the results you want!

This gym is a great gym to work out and get fit. It caters to weightlifters, crossfitters, and many more. The environment is very friendly and have top notch equipments. There are even equipments I never heard of and they have them. The coaches are patient and friendly to motivate you to reach your goals. It all depends on you on how many times you can hit the gym and push yourself to the maximum effort and surely you will definitely reach your goals and see results. Come by and try their free classes for a test run. You won’t regret it.

Antes de ser introducida a CrossFit debo admitir que yo era el tipo de persona que no le gustaba hacer ejercicio. Recuerdo incluso durante mis años en la secundaria (que eran muchos años atrás) haciendo todo lo posible para evitar hacer ejercicio. Por suerte nunca eh sido gorda por decir, pero sé que yo no era la persona más sana del planeta. Tenía anemia, no estaba comiendo bien, no hacia ejercicio, y básicamente no me cuidaba a mí misma. Entonces, un día (en 2011) me encontré con Chris Francisco que comenzó a hablarme de crossfit. Yo sabía que era el momento para hacer algo bueno por mí misma, así que decidí preguntarle que me entrenara. Acepto entrenarme junto con un grupo que comenzó con cuatro personas. Chris nos entrenaba en la playa, en los parques, etc. El hizo la hacer ejercicio divertido (de alguna manera jaja). No estoy diciendo que no me quejaba cuando estabas asiendo ejercicio, pero me si me divertía. Además de entrenarme, también me guió sobre cómo comer saludable. Hasta el punto que ya estoy libre de la anemia (¡yay!!). Conforme pasaba el tiempo más y más gente comenzó a querer hacer ejercicio con nosotros en el parque que hasta le requirieron a Chris un permiso para seguir entrenando allí. (Sí, él era tan bueno de un entrenador!). Finalmente Chris nos dio la gran noticia de que iba abrir Barbarian Athletics y nos dio gran felizidad. Reflejando hacia unos años atrás, estoy sorprendido de ver qué tanto eh avanzado. No sólo estoy más sana, pero soy más fuerte, y he conocido a grandes personas que ahora son como familia. Espero poder seguir siendo parte de Barbarian Athletics.
Before being introduced to crossfit I must admit I was the type of person that did not like working out whatsoever. I recall even during my high school years (which were quite a few years back) doing everything to avoid exercising. Now luckily I have never been fat per say, but I know I wasn’t the healthiest person on this planet. I had anemia, wasn’t eating right, wasn’t working out, and basically not taking care of myself. Then one day (in 2011) I met Chris Francisco who began talking to me about crossfit. I knew it was time for me to do something good for myself, so I decided to ask him to coach me. He agreed to coach me along with a group that started with four people. Chris would coach us at the beach, park, etc. He made working out fun (somehow haha). I’m not saying I didn’t complain as I did the workouts, but I did have fun. In addition to exercising, he also guided me on how to eat healthy, which lead me to be anemic free (yay!!). As time went by more and more people began wanting to work out with us at the park that Chris was asked to get a park permit if he wanted to coach us there. (Yes he was that good of a coach!!). Finally Chris gave us the great news that he was opening Barbarian Athletics, and we couldn’t be any happier. Reflecting back to a couple of years back, I am surprised to see how far along I have come along. Not only am I am healthier, but I am stronger, and I have met great friends that now are like family. I look forward to continue being a part of Barbarian Athletics.

Great atmosphere. Knowledgeable and experienced coaches. For all levels, from beginners to advanced to Olympic weightlifters. Come check it out

Doesn’t get better than CrossFit Extracted. The name may be new, but the depth of coaching is not. Coaching staff and personnel are fantastic! They say to look out for CrossFit Kids sessions coming soon, but of course they can work out one-​on-​one with coaches to personalize workout programs, too! Start ‘em young so they know the value of a healthy and active lifestyle to last them a lifestyle. That’s what we’re doing with our son :-)

I’ve been to a lot of gyms, including several crossfit gyms. I like the layout of this gym and their equipment is definitely top notch, which is very important to me. You can tell they took a lot of time and money to make this a great-​looking gym.
What about the instructors, you ask? i encountered a few of them, and I’m very impressed, as they take the time to help personalize a program for me and they’re always assisting me with correcting my form and helping me with some errors I didn’t even realize I was doing. I know quite a few of friends who have gotten injured from improper weight lifting, and I am confident these people know what they’re doing.
