Since opening in October 2022, Washington Park CrossFit has grown into much more than a gym at 2020 Hollyrood Street in Winston-Salem, NC. It’s become a welcoming hub where people of all ages and experience levels come to build strength, gain confidence, and connect with a community that feels like family.
The heart of this community is the coaching team, who are passionate about meeting every member where they are in their fitness journey. Whether you’re stepping into a CrossFit gym for the first time or returning after a break, the coaches tailor workouts to your needs and cheer you on every step of the way.
For women who might feel intimidated by traditional CrossFit classes, Washington Park CrossFit offers a standout program called Hot Girl Hour. Held twice a year—in January and July—and known for selling out fast, this six-week, female-only course is led exclusively by female coaches. It introduces participants to fundamental lifts and gymnastics movements, creating a supportive space to build both fitness skills and confidence.
If barbells aren’t your thing, there’s something for you too. Coach Chris leads the Engine Room classes—45-minute, cardio-focused workouts with zero barbells. Available Monday through Friday mornings at 9:30am and Sundays at 3pm, these classes help members build endurance and fitness in a fun, approachable way. There’s even an Engine Room only membership for those who want a cardio-centric routine.
After you’ve worked hard, recovery is key—and Washington Park CrossFit has you covered. Their infrared sauna and cold plunge provide excellent ways to relax muscles, boost recovery, and take care of your body, all at a very reasonable add-on price. This makes the gym a true one-stop shop for fitness and wellness.
Classes run throughout the week, from early mornings to evenings, offering plenty of options to fit busy schedules. Whether you want to swing by at 6 am or after work at 6:30 pm, you’ll find a time that works. For those interested in Olympic weightlifting, expert coaches Jess, Wes, and Gavin lead specialized weightlifting classes that focus on technique and strength.
But what really sets Washington Park CrossFit apart is its community. Here, newcomers and seasoned athletes alike find a place to belong. Beyond workouts, the gym hosts monthly challenges—think step counts, lunges, or burpees—with prize drawings to keep things fun and motivating. Social events, family-friendly policies, and a genuinely supportive atmosphere make it clear: this isn’t just about fitness, it’s about connection.
Roberto shares, “I chose this gym for the location and facilities but stayed because of the incredible coaches and welcoming community. I can bring my kids when needed and still get a workout in—that flexibility means a lot.”
