Reviews of CrossFit Raw Appeal (Gym)

Patricia Parra

I’ve only been a member for a few weeks and already feel like part of the CrossFit RA family. Getting the workouts down is truly work in progress. However, the trainers are all very helpful and attentive. They will definitely encourage you to challenge yourself and reach your full potential. The best quote to remember is “IF there is no struggle, there is no progress”. I highly recommend this place. Come and check it out!

After years and years of going to traditional gyms off and on I decided to try out CrossFit. Very quickly I realized that I should have tried it out years earlier when I first heard of it. My daily trip to CrossFit RA has become something I look forward to whereas before I would force myself to go to a traditional gym because I would become bored with the monotonous and repetitive workouts I would do (lack of imagination??). At CrossFit RA the programming is constantly varying which I find to be far more enjoyable. CrossFit RA is a large and clean facility with plenty of equipment. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging and accommodating should you find yourself unable to perform a specific movement. They will be sure to find an alternative that will work for you while still getting a good workout. Lastly, the atmosphere at CrossFit RA is second to none. There is a great sense of community and camaraderie that you won’t find at a traditional gym. If your considering trying out CrossFit or changing up boxes I highly recommend CrossFit RA.

Dropped in and glad I did! Owner Dennis Cole is a CrossFit Games athlete but very hard to even find that info on the website. Their website doesn’t give this place justice at all. Facility is the best box I’ve dropped in on and I’ve been to a ton. Dennis Cole was very welcoming and our class was smaller at 7 AM but he gave all of us 1000% of his attention. Awesome workout and will most definitely be coming here again.

I’m a recent convert to CFRA, coming from another gym in town. Everyone at RA was welcoming & friendly from the first time I walked through the door. Amazing coaches, clean gym, nice equipment, original & challenging programming, family friendly & athletes of all different levels & abilities. I was welcomed into the CFRA family immediately & now CFRA is my home away from home. I would definitely recommend CFRA to anyone interested in crossfit......from beginner to advanced. First week is always free.

Not just any old 'box'. A while back, I came to Crossfit Raw Appeal looking to change up my workout routine. I tried the month long Groupon and loved it. In the free month, not a single workout was repeated. The workouts were varied between gymnastic moves, cardio and heavy lifting. I loved the constant change up. The warmups were unique and the classes engaging - I found myself looking forward to working out - quite the opposite of my previous workout experiences. I came for the change up, but that is not why I stay. I stay for what CFRA stands for - family. They create a place that feels like home. There is a ‘dad’ that owns the place. He can be serious and almost always means business, but he is physically educated and you almost always ‘PR’ under his watchful eye. He is motivation, determination, and precision all wrapped into one. Then you have the ‘fun uncle’ that everyone loves. He’s the one that isn’t afraid to try new things and make you laugh. You will make it a point to show up when you know he is there. He makes you smile and makes you push yourself. And when you PR, you will do it because you knew he thought you could, and you don’t want to let him down. He makes each workout a personal experience no matter the size of the class. Of course you have the coolest ‘big sister’ ever. She is the definition of kind-hearted and genuine, but her muscles say she could snap you in half like a toothpick. She makes everyone feel welcomed, always smiles, and pushes you through coachful advice and patient encouragement. She is awe inspiring, and always seeking out ways to be more involved with the community. There are other amazing coaches, a ‘mom’ of course, and we even have a dog - each one playing a vital role in this family environment. But it doesn’t stop there. They are more than inside four walls. They honor heroes who lost their lives in the line of duty, they raise money for causes, they support other members in times of need. They host activities to get teens involved in Crossfit, and they do summer camps for the little ones to teach them the importance of fitness at a very young age. They hold a crying baby while you post workout stretch, share coffee recipes with you, Whole Life challenge you, participate in the games, throw house parties with karaoke, create unique challenges, cry over random acts of kindness, and make you feel like part of a family. This box has something for everyone. When you can workout next to a FIVE time Crossfit Games competitor and feel equally as important as him - you know you’re at home.

great family friendly gym.

James Bullard

Had an incredible workout with the folks CrossFit Raw Appeal. We teamed up and crushed a hero WOD named Bert. I left feeling utterly exhausted and spent, but energized and with a sense of being part of the community. If you're looking to accomplish your fitness goals in a fantastic team atmosphere, I recommend CrossFit Raw Appeal.

Adam Hodson

CFRA is my favorite Crossfit gym. I have been working out here for over two years and look forward to many more years to come.

Jeff Wilson

I did my first cross fit class yesterday. I was a little intimidated to try cross fit having never done it before. But my intimidation was quickly gone. Between the owner, coaches and other athletes they had me feeling part of the group and enjoying my first workout. Cross fit beats the conventional gym workout hands down. They guide you thru a whole body workout, no guess work. Dennis and Cross Fit Raw are first class all the way. You owe it to yourself to give it a shot!!

Agla Rivera

Who could ask for a better gym!! It has all the right stuff!! Great location! Incredible coaches! Amazing members and did I mention the fun, challenging variety of daily workouts! This is truly my happy place!

Kelly Wong

Great gym. Dropped in to do 20.2. The facility was super clean, spacious, had a ton of equipment. Best part was the owner! He helped strategized and cheered me through. I’ll definitely be back

Matthew Kaczinski

Working out had never been more fun and rewarding as it is here. Awesome people and great establishment all around!

Julio Alvarado

Outstanding facility! Has everything you need. Loved the warm ups and they gave me a great drop-in rate. Thanks guys!

Rhonda Tabberner

Crossfit RA is a welcoming environment. Coaching is top notch. But most importantly you will join a family and meet the best people. If you have ever wanted to try Crossfit this is the place or if you are looking for a box to make a change give Crossfit RA a go.

Love this gym!!! Great staff, awesome workouts!! People are easy going and make you feel at home!!

Marco Rodriguez

Dropped in during our travels for two days. The staff, coaches and fellow crossfitters were awesome and friendly. The space is amazing, clean and well maintained. I would definitely come here full time if I lived here and it will be my home away from home during my travels here.

Dean Christensen

I dropped in for a couple of WODs and it was an excellent experience. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming, the facilities were clean and well maintained, and the workouts were just the type I expected. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Mel Shingleton

I was recommend this gym/box by a friend and it’s been an amazing experience. Made lots of new friends in the short time I’ve been there. Side note there is a great mix of athletes there from just beginning to very advance but you always feel right at home there. Super helpful staff/owners and I’m so glad I found this place! Highly recommend

Rachel Ozerkevich

By far one of the friendliest, most welcoming, and overall best gyms I've dropped into. I came two days in a row while in town for short stay, and wish I could be a full time member here! Fun, smart programming, good coaching, and a clean, bright, spacious facility. The classes are made up of people who are clearly all friends with each other, which made the atmosphere fun and inviting. I hope to be back!

Jennifer Bendel

I have been a member of CFRA for over a year now and I love it!! I’m actually excited to work out. I’m able to do things I never thought I could! I love CrossFit because it makes me stronger for real life-playing with my kids, lifting groceries, etc. Well..and it’s cool to be able to do a handstand push-up!! This place is awesome! The programming is challenging yet do-able and the people are genuine, fun and encouraging!!

Chris Rivera

I was new to CrossFit when I joined this amazing gym over a 1yr ago! They have taught me so much fun stuff.. I couldn't do a single pull-up or Snatch when I started but now I can do so many it amazes me! The coaches are incredible and so motivational!

Mark Duncan

I needed to get back into some type of strength training, and going on my own to thecYMCA wasn’t working out; a freind recommended this gym, and it’s close to me house; I’ve been going since November and it’s a lot of fun! Tough but short workouts, still learning some of the more complex strength training moves, but all in all a great place, and social; everyone pushes each other to do their best. I have been going 2-3x a week (I mainly ride for fitness and MTB endurance racing) and have noticed a sight improvement on the bike, mainly with putting down some power when needed and also having some good power reserves during longer events, especially at the end. We all need some strength training in our lives! And coming here makes strength training fun and social.

Joan Lombard

Love this place! Get a great workout and make a ton a great friends!

Erin Koester

Amazing workouts & amazing people! I’m so glad I found this gym.

Kim Klein

Dropped by while in town for Nascar to be judged on 19.2 Staff was very welcoming - Members stayed to cheered us on as if they all knew us. Thank you!!

Lindsay Wagner

As a transplant to Las Vegas, it wasn't easy for me to make friends, until I found CrossFit RA. Not only are the workouts great, challenging and designed for all levels, the people are even better. I've gained a family and a home away from home at RA.

Joseph Selmser

I've just hit 6 months with CFRA and I have no regrets. This place is awesome but not just because it is CF, but the trainers, the people and the environment. Prior to this I had never done CF but have since been traveling a lot and had the opportunity to experience boxes around the globe and none of them can top this one. The instruction is great and class sizes are not too big. The members are also a big part of it and great encouragement and motivation. Anybody considering CF Raw Appeal should definitely do a drop in and see for yourself. Updating my review after two years. This is my 2nd year here and no plans to ever switch gyms. Programmed WODs are great for all levels. Coaches work with you until you are comfortable with movements and standards. The CFRA family puts them over the top! #cfra #cfrafamily #thatsWODSup #twu

Mollie Doubet

It’s hard to believe I am coming up on two years as a member at CFRA. the coaches are nothing short of incredible, the community is amazing and the gym itself is a great place to be. If you’re afraid to try Crossfit, never fear, because RA will take you in, modify for you, and make you feel right at home!

Niigel Porter

called and they hand up on me

Anthony King

CFRA is my first and favorite CrossFit gym! Instructors are top notch and they constantly challenge/motivate us with each WOD. I just signed on to another year with this box. A++++ and highly recommend!

Cool gum was there for girls gone rx

Dana Lopez

Crossfit Raw Appeal is a great gym. In Oct 2018 I was looking to change my workouts up a bit and really wanted to try Crossfit. I was a little intimidated being it was a whole new world to me. But when I walked In to Crossfit Raw Appeal everyone was so welcoming the coaches are great and I felt right at home. The classes are so mixed that no one feels uncomfortable. There is something for everyone. I highly recommend this Gym

Katie Williams

Such a great place with great coaches. They slow it down when needed and are able to challenge you when you ask for it. Spend your vacation venturing off the strip and drop into CrossFit Raw Appeal

Kristen Williams

This has to be the nicest CrossFit gym in Las Vegas. Great equipment, indoor track, huge space for everyone. My teenage son and I joined the gym as something to do together, had no idea the changes that we would both see in such a short amount of time. Dennis and Lisa are so encouraging and welcoming. They've been great to work with and have really developed a great CrossFit environment where everyone, at all levels encourages each other to keep going.

Tim Clark

Great gym and great community. This gym also has a lot of varied class times to fit almost any schedule; class sizes vary - sometimes numbering in the 20’s but with plenty of equipment to go around. Varied programming by multiple times (five I think) Crossfit Games Athlete.

Alyson Rowe

A friend invited me to try out CFRA and after a week of classes I was hooked. The workouts are great and can be scaled to any fitness level. The coaches and members have been so welcoming and encouraging!!

Emma Dixon

Visited for a drop in session while I was in Vegas. Was made to feel so welcome, and the coach was very friendly and motivating throughout the wod. Awesome place with a great community feel even though I went at a quiet time of day

Basel Kais

These guys rock! Couldn't say anything bad about the owners or any of the staff. They are all super friendly and looking out for you first and foremost!

Bryce Johnson

CrossFit Raw Appeal has become my new CrossFit home. I have been doing CrossFit now for 6 years and have been a member of 6 gyms around the world. CrossFit RA has the right mix of features for me. The coaches are knowledgeable, there are a wide variety of class options, and the price and location (right off 95 on Craig) cannot be beat. The membership also comes from all walks of life; you have the soccer moms just starting their CrossFit journey to fit athletics pushing themselves to be better. Which means there is always somebody to catch. So if you are looking for a new CrossFit home in Las Vegas check out RA.

Great staff, other members were friendly and welcoming. workouts were challenging but the trainers will scale to your ability on the spot.
