Blues City Athletics

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. In town dropping in, staying in Afton; gym was clean, coaching and programming were fantastic. Looking forward to coming back for Hyrox, strength training classes and more CrossFit classes.

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit gym and very welcoming group of people. Only about a 10 minute commute from Southampton. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined Blues City about a month ago after moving to the Clayton area. The community has easily been the best part of joining the gym! Giving and receiving fist bumps after a great workout quickly turned into genuine friendships and making memories that will last a lifetime. I am so thankful to be a part of a gym that values fitness and embraces new members like family. Blues City is the best!

Negative experience: I've been a part of Blues City Athletics for over three years now, and it has truly become a cornerstone in my life. From the incredible coaches who genuinely care, to the meticulously clean facilities and the top-notch culture they've cultivated, Blues City stands out as more than just a gym—it's a community. The programming is exceptional and always challenging, making fitness both rewarding and fun. It's inspiring to work out alongside others who are driven and like-minded, always encouraging each other to push further. Although I drive in from Fenton, MO, and there are certainly closer gyms, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. Blues City is where I'll continue to spend my gym days as long as I’m in the St. Louis area. Thank you, Blues City, for all you've done for me—this place has made a lasting impact on my life!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been dropping in the blues city for the past 5 years and finally joined the gym 6 months ago! I travel to Blues city from Ellisville! I have never felt this much of a community in the gym before where everyone really wants you to succeed! The coaches help you every step of the way and explain the movements that you should be doing! All the workouts are scaled for your level in order to push yourself. If you’re thinking about joining blues city do it!!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this gym more! All of the coaches are super knowledgeable and helpful whenever I need guidance on a specific movement or skill. I am currently in the Southhampton area of Saint Louis, so Blues City is in the perfect location for me to take a class before I head to work in the morning. Joining this gym has made a huge difference in my health & fitness journey - I have never felt more strong and confident in my body!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending this CrossFit gym for almost two months now and couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by both the staff and other members. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable about all the workouts and movements, ensuring that each session is both challenging and safe with multiple scaling options for every workout. The supportive atmosphere extends beyond just the workouts – everyone here is friendly and encouraging. A plus for me is that my daughter gets to participate in her own Kid’s CrossFit class once a week. It's awesome to see her enjoying fitness in such a positive environment. This gym truly feels like a community, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive and welcoming fitness experience.

Fantastic experience: My allergies to exercise have been cured! Great place! Great people! Blues City Athletics offers the full range from very bespoke workout routines for all ages to an independent experience with lots of camaraderie!

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I stumbled upon Blues City in my search for a new gym since moving to STL! Even though I've been into lifting, working out, and sports at the collegiate level, CrossFit always seemed a bit intimidating to me. I know a lot of folks feel the same way! But at Blues City, the coaches welcome all levels of athletes and offer one-on-one onboarding for those new to the workouts. They make the atmosphere super fun, welcoming, and encourage everyone to challenge themselves. I totally recommend it! :)

Fantastic experience: Great training, coaching and a diverse group to train with.

Fantastic experience: This is such a great place to workout! Located in Brentwood, this gym is so welcoming. There is so much coaching and support for Crossfit, personal training, and whatever your goals may be. The people and the coaches are so welcoming. There are many gyms closer to me, but it is worth the drive from Lafayette Square (~15 min) Best gym ever!

Fantastic experience: I have a few friends who have been coming to this gym for some time. I'd always been intrigued by CrossFit but wildly intimidated. I have movement background in different areas but no real technical knowledge. I signed up with Blues City two weeks ago and I am so grateful I did. Today I completed my four sessions of the "on ramp" program and boy was that amazing. Like I said earlier CrossFit was (and still is.. all new things are for me at least) wildly intimidating but these sessions helps a ton. James, one of the coaches at the gym broke every single movement down. We worked on progressing each movement but not until I felt the previous movement. He is a great coach. Seeing the community in this gym makes me excited to make new friends. It seems so supportive and uplifting. I've been sore this entire two weeks but it's been truly amazing. I am so excited for my journey here. I would HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone who's been interested in the CrossFit world. You got this. Especially if you're staring your journey here.

Fantastic experience: Very good experience so far. The instruction, coaching, and workout design are fantastic. It’s a good place for elite athletes and also people like me who have significant range of motion challenges. With scaling and mobility work, I’ve already seen progress towards movements I thought I’d never be able to do.

Fantastic experience: Stopped doing CrossFit for several years during pandemic. Decided to get back into it and checked out this place based on recommendation of old coach. It’s been a couple months and I’ve worked with every coach except 1 and can say they are all great. They’re friendly and knowledgeable and will make sure you’re doing everything safely and provide scales options if needed. Community is friendly as well. They also have more evening classes than other gyms if that’s your preferred workout time. Sometimes only class I can make it to is 6:30 and other gyms don’t have a class later than 5:30. If you’re looking for a CrossFit gym I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Fantastic experience: Blues City has been a very welcoming environment from the instructors to the members. This kind of gym can be intimidating but not at Blues City

Fantastic experience: Blues City Atheltics is a wonderful gym near me. Staff and other customers are supportive and friendly. Help you when needed while pushing and encouraging you to get the best out of you. Took time to teach me the correct form and hound on the importance of your form throughout class to prevent injury as much as possible.

Fantastic experience: I live near Brentwood and was looking for nearby options to step up my fitness and decided to give Blues City a shot. I started a couple months ago and am loving it! I have really enjoyed the challenging programming and detailed coaching offered for people of all fitness levels and abilities. The community Blues City CrossFit fosters is a very welcoming and supportive one. My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner!

Fantastic experience: Blues City is a great CrossFit gym. The coaches are knowledgeable and you will leave with at least one new piece of information before you leave each class.

The workouts are well designed, always interesting, and can be challenging for people of all skill and fitness levels which is really nice for couples. We have not done any of the 1:1 personal training but those that do it seem to like it. Looking forward to another year of checking off items from the goal board.

Fantastic experience: I googled gyms near my area that also offers personal training, and stumbled upon this gem (pun intended)! I reached out and with in a week was set up to train with Erin!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been looking for a new fitness challenge for a while now. As a former college athlete, I’ve missed the dynamic that went with working out with a team. I’ve only been to 2 classes so far, but I know I plan on making this a permanent part of my routine. All the coaches and crossfitters have been super welcoming and knowledgeable. I feel like I’ve been working out here for years already. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Fantastic experience: Blues City CrossFit in Brentwood is a gym near me. The owner is so kind and easy to work with! I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I’m very fortunate to have found this gym near me in the Brentwood area. The coaches are great and the members are all welcoming and fun to be around.

The workouts are always manageable for whatever fitness level you’re at and everyone is supportive no matter what!

The owner of the gym, Steve, is very knowledgeable and the community not only has elite athletes but also casual gym members, like myself. The location is also unbeatable and centrally located in St. Louis. I highly recommend Blues City CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: In town for a short visit and decided to drop in for a class. Best decision! Coach Erin was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, supportive. All the things you want in a coach. And she played good music! The gym was clean, equipment was new and in good condition, and organized. The class was challenging (but that’s what you want, right?) and was structured well. Everything was thoroughly explained and demonstrated from the warm up to the practice round to the workout. The class also had a good coach-to-athlete ratio so everyone received great feedback throughout. Definitely drop in if you are in the area!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Blues City. I'm in my late 40s and definitely not an elite athlete, so the the thought of starting Crossfit or even working out in a gym with very serious and athletic people was intimidating. But the coaching and the environment here make me feel totally comfortable. There is a great diversity of people in terms of age and athletic experience. The workouts are tiered by ability level so there is always a workout that I can do without having to ask for something special. If you are looking for a great gym near Brentwood or anywhere in the STL area, this is one of the best options.

Fantastic experience: Rejoined CrossFit at Blues City Crossfit after a two-year break. The 4-week onboarding was crucial, providing one-on-one sessions with a coach. Personalized training restored confidence efficiently. Group classes strike the right balance; coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. Well-equipped and organized facility. Blues City CrossFit stands out for its commitment to individual success through thoughtful onboarding. Engaging classes and a welcoming community make it a standout fitness destination. Highly recommended for anyone, regardless of experience level.

Fantastic experience: Updates on 6/6/2025 As I am moving to Michigan for a job I am saying goodbye for all the friends I met here at blue city. A little over 6 months ago, I was strurgling to even do 1 doubleunder and pull up seems straight impossible for me. Being in grad school for 8 years really does wonders to my overall fitness (sarcastically of course). Blue city coaches and friends here helped to achieve so much I didn't imagine myself doing at all. I completed my first no-assist pull-up this april, my 200 doubleunders last month, and my first full Murph this Memorial day!! I feel grateful for all the time I spent here and I want to invite anyone who was new to crossfit and want to improve their fitness to come here!! You won't believe what you could achieve if you put in the time here.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Brentwood! Couple of years ago I found this gym near me and it has been the best experience. Coaches are always willing to help you during workouts and after. Don’t be afraid to drop in!!!

Fantastic experience: As someone who came in entirely new to CrossFit and had some chronic pain issues, this gym has been incredible. The personal focus even in large classes really helped me build confidence, get fitter, and become part of an incredible community. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with the owner, Stephen Wallace, twice a week for about ten months. The facility and equipment has been great along with his help in improving form, strength, agility, endurance, and technique. I have been astounded by the results of working with him. I really enjoy the judgment free atmosphere and welcoming member of the gym. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: One stop shop for all things fitness, community, & fun. #crossfit #saintlouis #functionalfitness

Fantastic experience: I'm not an athlete; I decided to go after I saw the results my son achieved post-surgery. Not going to lie; It is a challenging workout, and progress takes time, but doesn't anything worth achieving come with dedication and hard work. I promised myself I'd do 6 weeks, and now I'm at 6 months. If you are at all curious about getting strong and If you live in St. Louis close to Brentwood, you have to check out Blues City CrossFit; I love it ( and hate it, but in a good way ).

Fantastic experience: Steve is the best personal trainer in STL. Blues City is right in easy Brentwood and convenient from anywhere in St. Louis — easy enough for me to get to 4-5x a week. Great atmosphere, community, super clean and Steve is so much fun to work with. Having trained at nearly 100 gyms in the country, this is one of the best!

Fantastic experience: Blues City Crossfit in Brentwood is an amazing gym in St. Louis! There is a supportive community and all the opportunities to reach your goals. I am so glad I call Blues City my gym home!

Fantastic experience: I started personal training at Blues City Athletics to deal with old lifting/sports injuries. After looking at places all over Saint Louis, I’m glad I came here. The focus is on my overall health and longevity, not just athletic performance. There are fun and challenging CrossFit classes with a friendly community. It’s a clean facility, conveniently located in the Brentwood area. It’s been amazing.

Fantastic experience: Blues city is a great crossfit gym for all levels of fitness. As someone who hadn't been consistently going to a gym in years, the group classes provide a motivating atmosphere with workouts that are scaleable to my current fitness level. The coaches do a great job of providing individual attention that ensures you are never left behind even when you're working out next to nationally competitive athletes. They also encourage a positive and motivating atmosphere that all fellow class members seem to run with. Blues City is one of the most affordable crossfit gyms that I could find in the St. Louis area. Class times are available to fit most schedules and the coaches are equally attentive at all class times. I have taken advantage of the flexibility provided at open gym times to make up a workout when I wasn't able to get in during my normal times which is helpful to keep me on track. I have nothing but good things to say and recommend Blues City CrossFit to anyone!
