BattleGrounds Fitness

Fantastic experience: Love BattleGrounds Fitness! Phenomenal fitness community for all ages and levels-wonderful coaching staff, family friendly, and challenging workouts. Get fit; stay lit!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for almost 18 months. Learning something every week…new moves, new goals, new gains. The owners are very involved and workout alongside members. Very supportive. Much diversity of age, fitness level, goals…yet all are welcome and sweat together. Group workouts are challenging but are easily and routinely modified. Get fit together!

Fantastic experience: Very underrated place to host a birthday party. We had my son’s fourth birthday, and it was perfect. They have age appropriate activities, a large area for cake/food/presents, and awesome staff. The kids had a blast!

Fantastic experience: Just finishing up the Boot Camp, and it has been a great experience. I did not expect to enjoy Cross Fit as much as I do! I think my coaches have been a huge part of that - they have given just the right amount of instruction and encouragement to bring me along without feeling overwhelmed. (And without any injuries, which I was warned about by friends when I first started.) Also love my group - such great people! Thank you, Bobby, Basia, and all my boot camp buddies!

Fantastic experience: If you’re contemplating giving CrossFit a try, think no more and join this wonderful CF fam. Coaches & team members always look for one another and encourage each other. Joining the team was the best decision I’ve ever made for my mental & physical health. 2 years later still showing up :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym and good family environment.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Battlegrounds fitness for over 2 years and I absolutely love this gym! The supportive community and personal approach are totally unique -- each member is known and valued. Crossfit has been transformative for my mental and physical health and I am grateful to all the amazing Battlegrounds coaches for accompanying me on my fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend battlegrounds. Everyone is extremely helpful, making sure you are doing the workout properly. This is the first gym I've been in, that wasn't intimidating. The coaches are amazing and the atmosphere is great.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym! All the coaches are very friendly, supportive and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: This is the BEST gym! No judgement ever only positive reinforcement! It is not just a gym - it is a community! Everyone is so helpful and kind. Whether you are young or old, in shape or trying to get in shape - the instructors help you scale your workout so that it benefits you the best! AND there are fun community activities that you can participate in from hikes, to axe throwing to teen night. This is a great place to get in shape AND make friends!

Fantastic experience: The battlegrounds fitness Boot Camp was a great experience for me. Super helpful to have a coach at every workout session to have the work out of the day very from session to session and to build a new community among the other members at the same session. I would recommend it very highly.

Fantastic experience: Battle Sisters is an exceptional strength and conditioning class led by the fantastic Coach Morgan. The sessions seamlessly blend challenging workouts with a supportive atmosphere, creating a fun and uplifting fitness experience. Highly recommended no matter your fitness level!

Fantastic experience: The best decision I made was joining the BattleSisters workout class. We are a community of women who uplift and motivate each other. Morgan provides a high energy workout class. I have had noticeable results from training under Morgan.

Fantastic experience: Great people really made me feel welcome and I wasn't like a fitness type of person didn't matter. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I love Coach Morgan! I am getting in better shape, and am surprising myself with what I can do!! Love the gym, I am actually going to join up after the Boot Camp Class!

Fantastic experience: I hate working out but Battleground makes it fun and enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love BGF! I’ve been coming for 2.5 years and don’t know why I didn’t join sooner. Gyms in general and especially CrossFit can be intimidating! However I’ve found that BGF has such an amazing community, encouraging and upbeat coaches, and everyone is so so great about cheering each other along! There’s athletes of all ages and skill levels and a program for everyone! Even a mom of little kids like me. Plus they’re super family friendly! Consider this your sign to focus on your health and try it out :)

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for helping me regain my ability to exercise again after my total knee replacement. I’ve always been such an active person, and it was a real shock to find myself in that situation. Your good humor and upbeat attitude really helped me keep trying even when I felt discouraged. Battle Grounds Fitness (BGF), I owe, you, my success! Six months ago, I was learning how to walk again. Today, I am hitting three CrossFit sessions a week! Thank you for a fantastic CrossFit introduction experience. Kristen, Celia, Karl, Rocky and Joe, and all the BGF coaches, you make the gym fun, your training styles rock. Thank you again for all that you did and continue to do for me. I really don’t think I would have had such a full recovery without you. Warmest regards, David

Fantastic experience: BattleGrounds is an awesome place to workout. It is family friendly and the coaches are fantastic. I couldn’t recommend it more highly

Fantastic experience: They offer an amazing BJJ (MMA) class , tried one session and will definitely be going back to sign up once my schedule allows it.

Fantastic experience: I would never pushed nor encourage myself as much as this group has for me!!! Being away from a gym setting for many years and returning can be quite challenging and stressful, but the entire staff here have made this transition very easy and enjoyable. Everyone has been very supportive and helpful from the workouts to nutritional information. I would encourage anyone to step out of their comfort zone and allow this group to help you with your goals!!!

Fantastic experience: We had my daughters 5th birthday here. We are not members, so didn't know what to expect. But we were blown away at how great it was. The kids had so much fun. They had someone who led the kids in activities for the 1st half to get them accustomed to everything, and then we took a break to eat lunch, then they had free play time end the time we had. I highly recommend Battleground Fitness! My daughter is already asking to do next year's birthday here!

Fantastic experience: Seems like a great place, clean and well laid out all though I should add that I an not a customer or member as I was just there to support My sister and brother in-law at a competition there.

Fantastic experience: The Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9am  women's class with Morgan is awesome. Coach Morgan is encouraging without being demanding and knows how to modify the workouts all participants. The most important thing for me has been how welcoming everyone is. I really feel part of a community rather than just another person signing up for a class. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: BattleGrounds Fitness is hands down the best! Coach Freddy and team provide the best of the best training! Top notch Crossfit gym at its finest!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym! The instructors are so motivating and encouraging. The variety of workouts keeps things interesting.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with great people. Everyone welcomed me into fray as if I had been there for years and just got back from a vacation. It’s amazing. The coaches are very informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions. People sometimes get frustrated with that. Not once did I feel that the coaches were getting to that point. In fact it was the exact opposite. They had answers and detailed ones. This has made me to believe that they care about you and want to see you progress toward reaching your fitness goals. They send weekly check ups to see how you’re doing. This is motivation for me. I found my self excited to go get a workout in no matter what it was that day at BattleGround. I’m loving it so far.

Fantastic experience: I quit CrossFit for a while and then COVID hit and I was lazy. In December I decided to make life changes and get back in shape. Battlegrounds is amazing. The group of people are a family. Totally welcoming and super supportive. The workouts are fun and challenging. The coaches take time to explain movements so even though I am familiar from my old days people shouldn’t worry about not knowing what to do or be intimidated about joining. I have been to over 100 boxes in my lifetime and by far this family exceeds the expectations. I’m so happy I chose to join this family.

Fantastic experience: I have to say I really didn't know if I could do this. But with all the encouragement from everyone here it has been a great experience so far. I can work at my own level and feel great afterwards. I do have to say I have found muscles I haven't used in a long time. I am sore but it is all worth it. Great coaches and great workouts. Try them out you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about the instructors and the CrossFit programs offered. I haven't worked out for many years, and as I approach 60, I'm very happy to learn that the workouts can be constantly "Modified" to my level. I leaving feeling challenged and aware of my progress being made in so many areas. I also love the variety of the workouts. The time flies. My instructors, Sarah and Morgan, are both very helpful, knowledgeable and constantly encouraging us. I always avoided CrossFit classes because I thought they would be too hard for me. Taking the CrossFit Sweat classes is a lot of fun and I love the classes! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to being healthier and stronger thru CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: I am 3 weeks in and love it. I am 61 years old, not in the best shape and was a bit skeptical that things could be adjusted to my ability. But it absolutely can. The boot camp combined with the nutrition experts I feel much better in such a short time. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym and the crew that runs it! They have different programs which offer a wide range of exercises on all different ability levels. I’ve seen all ages and walks of life at this gym and they create an encouraging community to be a part of.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are supportive and motivating.

Fantastic experience: Great for all skill levels! They have a fantastic coaching staff that work with you to get your desired results. Best in the area!

Fantastic experience: They have an amazing staff of coaches who are willing to work with you no matter your experience. Love how they offer personal training to help you get started in CrossFit before you jump into a class. All the coaches are at least level 1. Friendly accommodating and most of all fun.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Front Royal 8 months ago. In that time, I have found a TRUE gym family. The coaches and staff are encouraging, helpful, & inspiring. There isn’t a fail option- all movements can be modified & scaled to any athletes fitness level. Children are welcome in the facility, & they have several programs for them as well! We laugh & joke during workouts, but we also push and motivate each other. The best decision I ever made was to re-join the CrossFit community; I’m so happy it was with Battlegrounds. My life is better!

Fantastic experience: I’d recommend this gym to anyone whether your 8 or 80, blind crippled or crazy. This is a welcoming gym with knowledgable coaches and they are always open to suggestions and improvements to suit a members needs. The instruction is great, coaching is awesome, and the workouts are tough. Gym is always clean, equipment is always organized and it’s always pleasant to be there. There are two ADA compliant bathrooms with showers, they offer numerous kids classes, additional classes for adults and have organized a few competitions so far. It’s a pleasant place to be, and the members make it great to bring your whole family too. Definitely an interesting place with even more interesting folks attending.

Fantastic experience: Did my first ever crossfit class. Instructor was was thorough and informative, making sure myself and everyone in the class did everything correctly. I felt very welcomed and not overwhelmed. I will be back.

Fantastic experience: Battlegrounds Fitness is a welcoming community for all fitness levels! They have something for everyone, from CrossFit to HIIT classes, Nutrition coaching and kids programs. I've loved it from the very beginning when I started attending their CrossFit classes 1.5 years ago. It has become on of my favorite places to be!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community, coaching, and killer workouts.

Everyone always cheers you on and no one gives you the feeling of not being good enough. Progress comes quick when you listen to the coaches. Definitely something for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Currently enrolled in the HIIT the Weights class and loving it! Mary is an excellent instructor; the class is engaging, challenging and fun! The on site child care is an added bonus for me. Hope this class continues!

Fantastic experience: I am currently taking HIIT the Weights, a class offered at Battlegrounds Fitness. I am 23wks pregnant and absolutely LOVE it! It has made me feel so strong and confident. The instructor, Mary, is great and I love the community/atmosphere. Thank you for offering such a great class!

Fantastic experience: HIIT The Weights with Coach Mary Pennefather is an excellent class and I look forward to it each time! Mary is a great instructor — clear, direct, focused, attentive, and with great energy. I always feel challenged in each class, and walk out feeling like I got a very good and effective workout in. After having three babies and getting out of shape, this is just what I needed to push my butt back in gear! 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: First, I would like to thank Battlegrounds Fitness (aka CrossFit Front Royal) for there support to raise money for a friend with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. We didn’t even ask them, they heard about it and volunteered to help. Among the many things I love about this business is that the owners are veterans and not only love this country but they love this community! In addition, they are affordable, family oriented and all of the exercises have a modification. I’ve always assumed CrossFit was only for fit people but they’ve given those of us that are out of shape an opportunity to become fit through CrossFit. They have kids programs, birthday parties and the rock wall is pretty cool as well! They also offer a free introductory class on Saturday morning to try a class which is so important for those of us that have never tried it before. The owners are also personal coaches for all of their customers and are there to teach, encourage and inspire each and every customer!

Fantastic experience: This is not only a great place to work out, it's also a great community! I constantly see veteran athletes encouraging and helping newer athletes. Fantastic coaches also! Always encouraging and motivating, never judgemental. Free intro classes at 10:00 am every Saturday morning, come and see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: Totally recommended crossfit box, I’m into CrossFit since 4 years and traveling the world while checking out every box I can. I received a warm welcome and further more important i got Coached even I’m just a drop in. The box is fully equipped and it’s brand new! Thank you again for having me!!!

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Front Royal and had a great experience at this gym. The coaches were knowledgeable, approachable and made you feel like a part of their fitness community on your first visit. I look forward to going back and becoming a member. As a CrossFit coach in the past it was nice to be back in a box with a group individuals, both members and coaches, passionate about enhancing their lives utilizing the methodologies of the sport of fitness.
