Ruination CrossFit

Nov 2023

If you're new to CrossFit or a veteran athlete, Ruination CrossFit is the home gym for you. I waited a full year to write this review to solidify my outstanding review. I wanted to see how long this honeymoon stage was going to last. It never left. I'm still in love with the Kingdom of Ruination 1 year later. My adventure entailed visiting 4 CrossFit Gyms and conducting 2 tests. Ruination CrossFit shattered my standards by a long shot. If you're going to check out CrossFit gyms, these are my recommendations:Go for one full weekGo to the same time each day This was my litmus test to see who I would swipe right and call my home gym. What I wanted from my CrossFit Gym:Scared/Inspired/Crapping my pants by the work outs and athletes Great CultureOut of the 4 CrossFit gyms, Ruination CRUSHED the competition!The first day at 5am I met Ashly and Jessica who gave warm introductions. Throughout the week, I met various other kind and welcoming members like Lacey and Josh. One of my most memorable moments was when, the CrossFit Angel AKA Head Coach Michele introduced herself to me and coached me throughout my first class with her. If you're looking into a gym, it's so IMPORTANT to have the owners, coaches, head coach and members be a welcoming environment AND help you with tips to enhance performance and prevent injuries. Some skills I was able to to learn:Handstand walksMuscle-UpsRing Muscle-UpsThe Crab walk ( this is a joke and I think it's so funnyDating skills LOL I ask members about how to dateBusiness skills ( I started my own business this year from inspiration from others)Planning skills because I learned how to organize myself for my work outsPacing skills (LOL i'm all gas and no break some times)400lb deadliftHaving fun at the gym is so mandatoryI'm a FOREVER member at Ruination because there isn't a day where I didn't learn skills or was constantly inspired by the people who walk in. Other benefits include:Different level optionsBeginning (scale)Moderate (RX)Advanced (RX +)Inspiration from people of all fitness backgrounds including just startingGreat Staff!CrossFit CompetitionsEventsSports eventsGame nightsMuch more!I'm Jeno (Gee-No) btw I always wear a golden wreath around my head and love meeting new people of all backgrounds. Please say hi if I don't beat you to it! See you at the gym!

I dropped in for the week. I went to the early bird classes and late classes through out the week. In every class the coach made a point to introduce them selves and was very welcoming. The members were also extremely warm and welcoming. I was only there for 5 days and I felt like I was leaving a gym I'd been going to for months. It was such a great experience! The gym is also pretty competitive in the best way, the workouts were fun and very scalable. The early bird classes seemed to be pretty busy and rowdy which I enjoyed. The later classes were more low key and go at your own pace. I feel like this Box has something for everyone. I'll be coming back next time I'm in the area!

Been working in Irvine for over a year and searching for my new CrossFit. tried a few and all were fine but this one was PERFECT. better than I could have asked for. The box is phenomenal. WODs great. Community the most welcoming I've found. All fitness levels. I joined immediately. Wish I could give it ten stars.
