CrossFit CWE

Specialties

We specialize in improving fitness in a group atmosphere at rates that are cheaper than a personal trainer, yet more effective because of the energizing effect of a like-​minded group to workout with.

History

Established in 2010.

We started as a window-​front gym in the heart of the Central West End, then moved for a slightly roomier spot, yet still on Euclid. We finally landed a little off the beaten path on Olive Street, but the location is much better for what we do. We’re still a short bike ride from anywhere in the CWE or midtown. In fact, at least half of our members walk to the gym.

I Started CrossFitting in the Fall of 2009 after a friend emailed me about a workout program some prison guards were doing. I typed CrossFit into Google and watched a YouTube video of Greg Almundson and Annie Sakamoto doing «Fran». I didn’t know enough about CrossFit at the time to be impressed. All I knew is that I could curl 95lbs, so surely front squatting it then pushing it over my head wouldn’t be too tough… right? 13:32 later I realized I had VERY serious hole in my fitness. I passed my NASM personal trainers certification, then got my Level 1 CrossFit certificate a few months later. My first job was a coach at CrossFit St. Louis. From there I opened my own gym in the Central West End, where I’ve been ever since.
