CrossFit Ergo - Paso Robles, California

One year ago I saw a picture of myself in a wetsuit- If you ever need a life changing wake up call, put on a wetsuit. I have 3 beautiful daughters that I want to be able to play sports with when I’m 60 so knew I had to do something major. To help the cause, I found out I had high uncontrollable blood pressure and high cholesterol. To hear the doctors tell me this at 33 years old was pretty scary. I slowly started to watch what I ate and tried to educate myself on nutritional facts. I lost 7, 10 then 15 total pounds and started feeling motivated. Being motivated lead me to researching gyms on the coast to help with my weight loss journey. I came across CrossFit Ergo. Read some reviews and after getting up enough courage, I called to get more info. I’m so glad I did. I had this idea in my head that I had to be “in shape” or “fit” before trying it out. Which is totally not the case. The coaches and members at Ergo are always willing to help and answer ANY questions you have (I asked a ton of questions). They take away any intimidation factor and are so welcoming. Mike, the owner got me on a nutritional program that I’m currently still on. Nutrition is the hardest part of weight loss and Mike is my biggest cheerleader. I’ve never been a part of a gym where the coaches, members and owner truly care about your well-being. Long story short, I went from over 280 lbs to now 230 lbs in one year. I went from 4 blood pressure pills a day to ZERO pills a day. Hearing the doctor say I’m healthy…. WOW. It’s definitely not easy. You will be sore. Probably for days. Making a lifestyle change isn’t easy. If you think you can’t do something, then you won’t. If I can do this, anyone can do this. Stop waiting. Make the change and come see what I’m talking about.

Where to start?

First the coaches are amazing! Keanu, Chad, Jana, Michael, Rob, Andrew, Keith, Kimmy (sorry if I left anyone out) are all awesome! Each coach takes the time to work with you and make sure you are doing the movements correctly and push you to do things you didn't think you could do! They are all really great people, very friendly.

As for the owner.....Mike T.....
He is a great guy, very out going and welcomes everyone to the gym and treats them like he has known them for years. He is the best kind of owner. Always at the gym cheering people on and completing the workouts with the different classes!

If you are looking for a great gym to start your fitness goals, look no further, Crossfit Ergo is for everyone and I promise you will have a great time getting to your goals and meet some pretty awesome people while doing it!

JUMP IN! Are you thinking about trying CrossFit for the first time..? JUMP IN! Spoiler alert, everyone is nervous to try something new but there is NO reason to be! They don't just throw you into the classes, they take the time to teach you and make sure all your movements are correctly executed.
I have been at CrossFit Ergo for almost two years now and my love for this place hasn't changed since day one. Walking in the door you are greeted by members, coaches and the owner, Mike. They welcome you like you have been there forever! Everyone there wants the best for you and want you to meet any goals you have.
They offer personal training, group training and even a nutrition program!
You won't be disappointed!

CrossFit ergo is an awesome gym and I really enjoy doing the personal training sessions with Chad! I have never seriously worked out since playing sports in high school and definitely not in great shape, so I was intimidated to start CrossFit. (I shouldn’t have been though). I decided to do personal training sessions to make the workouts customized to my abilities and make it more manageable in my busy schedule. Chad was always super encouraging and made adjustments during them so I was able to get the best workouts each session. He always walked me through each movement so I could learn the correct way to do them (and modifications to do if I need to) so when I started classes I’d be prepared to it correctly and safely. Chad would also check in on me after challenging workouts and advice me on stretches/remedies if I was sore or had any issues. I always felt that chad truly cared about helping me achieve my goals and wanted me to feel proud of myself. I highly recommend CrossFit ergo to anyone interested in trying something new, It’s not at all intimidating and everyone is super nice and welcoming. Mike and his team work hard to create a fun environment, in and outside of the gym. My family and I have gone to all of their events- ergo prom, a beach day, a water park day and more. It is a great way to meet more people in the community and get healthy at the same time. My husband and I have made great friends through the gym in a short time, all the members are very encouraging of each other and supportive. If you are considering joining or trying CrossFit you should absolutely book a consult at Ergo!

CrossFit Ergo was simply awesome! My boyfriend and I were vacationing in Paso Robles for two days and wanted to get a couple of workouts in. We called CrossFit Ergo and left a message in the morning, hoping to drop-in for two days. Mike, one of the coaches, texted us later that day and gave us the warmest welcome! They love drop-ins! Mike sent us a link to sign-up and pay for class. Super easy!

When we arrived, Mike was there to greet us and introduce us to our coach, Chad. The facility was super clean and open. We went at 7:30am and it was a smaller class filled with friendly folks. Chad was great and the workouts were exactly what we wanted!

If you’re in the area, this is a great gym to visit! They made us feel like we had been working out with them for years!

AWESOME!!!! Best CrossFit I’ve ever been to. Mike Turnquist (Owner) has created a great culture for all comers. They encourage scaling your workout to the level that is most appropriate for your fitness journey. The coaches are skilled and very encouraging. I highly recommend Ergo for anyone that wants to get into great shape and have fun doing it. Join now!

I have been doing CrossFit for almost 8 years now and I have never been at the level that I am now training at CrossFit Ergo. The coaching here is the highest quality --- they know what they are doing! In addition to my training, I am also part of the nutrition program. I never thought I'd have a six pack in my life but here I am. With dedication and determination, you can get in the best shape of your life at CrossFit Ergo. I love coming here with my family and promoting a healthy lifestyle to my children. You won't regret it!

I have been a member at Crossfit Ergo for about 2 years and have had nothing but a great experience from the beginning. I came in with a minimal fitness background in hopes of improving not just my fitness level, but my overall view of fitness, health and wellness. I am happy to say that I have grown substantially in all three areas while loving every minute of it.

Ergo gives you all the tools you need to be successful. From top of the line coaches/coaching and a fully and professionally equipped gym, to great programming and an even better community, Ergo has it all! On top of that, they have an awesome nutrition program that has completely transformed my body and my understanding of food. If you are looking to get fit in a fun and highly inclusive environment, I can't recommend Ergo enough!
