Olympic Lifting Warm-Up

I’ve lost 43lbs during my journey AND kept the weight off during the hardest times of the year. If you are thinking about doing the nutrition challenge but aren’t sure, DO IT! I promise you won’t regret it.

I first started this nutrition challenge in May of last year and got the opportunity to work with Tara. I was skeptical about how it would go and what results I would truly see. Having done similar nutrition/coaching programs in the past, from my experience they don’t tend to last and focus on fast weight loss vs long term sustainability. It is safe to say this isn’t your normal nutrition challenge or coach!!! Tara and this nutrition challenge not only crushed all my expectations but truly changed my life! My workouts feel better, I recover faster, sleep better, I’m a more conscious grocery shopper, and what I prioritize with all meals (Hint: its protein!).

Lastly, this challenge isn’t about telling you what you can’t have. It’s about teaching you to balance consistency with fun, while focusing on your short- and long-term goals. I’ll never regret doing this challenge and getting the opportunity to work with Tara. Thank you for all you have taught, encouraged, and held me accountable too over this past year. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you!!!

If you are new to CrossFit or Olympic weightlifting this is where you want to go in the treasure valley to learn how to correctly lift and move your body. Coaches won't feed you BS or tell you the 100th time you have done a movement wrong that it's correct. They will keep kindly correcting you and won't give up on helping you learn a new skill or movement. I have been to other gyms in the area that are not committed to consistently working with all their members on learning movements correctly. The result was unsafe practices and preventable injuries.

First time to this gym, and it was a pleasure. Eric was informative, knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful.

This is the most amazing gym! I started here almost a year ago and I have never been a part of something like this before. The coaches never fail to be supportive and motivating. They push me to do my best but teach me to do it in a safe and correct manner. With many different class times I’m able to go almost everyday after work or even earlier on my days off. The coaches here really care about you as an individual versus a number. They will spend extra time if you show that you will put in the effort to work hard and listen. I have never found a gym like this before and never will again so for now I am beyond happy to be part of the Verdant North family and to continue my crossfit journey! Thank you Kevin, Jeff, and Camille for everything!

Great and consistent programming and coaching. Members and staff are welcoming; it’s great that they use Wodify (makes it easy to transfer data from other boxes). I most appreciate that the instructors provide active feedback and know everyone well enough to give specific and actionable coaching. They’re not afraid to give helpful and active feedback, which is what I’m there for. Good range of members, so you’ll be in good company no matter where you’re at in your exercise journey.

Honestly, can’t think of a single negative. Parking is slightly more constrained, but they managed to carve out lots of options and spaces, so it works.

Great gym. Been coming here for a few months now and the programming, coaches, and vibe are all excellent. All sorts of folks from all over the place make it a fun environment. Tons of classes throughout the day, great for those of us with schedules that can change on short notice. If you're looking for a gym this is it.

Verdant CrossFit is a great, welcoming community. The owner and coaches are a big part of the community! The programming for CrossFit is great and challenging, the kids program is wonderful. A 5 star facility with an owner who cares! Second location in Star is just as great.
