Aspire Sports Lab and Aspire CrossFit - Pompano Beach (FL)

5 /5 Marilyn MC: 3/7/25–After taking a day off from working out—because my arms felt like they were about to transform into the Hulk—I knew I needed the rest. Besides, we had to pack up and leave the VRBO rental, which turned out to be not at all what we expected. With all the moving around, I figured my body deserved a break. Once we booked a hotel that allowed dogs, my next mission was finding a gym. A quick Google search led me to Aspire, which was conveniently close by. I booked the class that same morning because, at this point, I wasn’t taking any chances with more unplanned changes. I signed up online, completed the waiver (which, by the way, saves you from signing your life away in person), and paid the drop-in fee. And just like that, my husband, the dog, and I were off—but out of the three of us, I was the only one voluntarily signing up for an hour of self-inflicted torture. The gym itself was great—spacious, with bathrooms and a shower available. Gina, the coach, introduced herself. She was from Long Island, and immediately, there was that unmistakable East Coast vibe between us. Everyone at the gym was friendly, which I’ve learned is a reflection of the coach. After dropping into so many gyms on my travels, I can confidently say that the personality of a gym starts at the top. Gina was not just a great coach—she was an all-around awesome human being. She explained the workout, and the first part? All abs. Fantastic. Exactly what I needed after a day of feeling like a human U-Haul. The core exercises were killer but much needed. I definitely have to get my core strengthened after so many years of lower back pain. I pretty much stopped using my abs, so I knew this workout was going to be brutal—and it was. Then came the EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) portion of the training, which was another absolute killer. But in a weird way, I loved it. The gym definitely felt familiar to me. I once went to a CrossFit gym that didn’t have that same welcoming feel, and that’s something I’m starting to notice after visiting a few different ones. There’s a personality to a gym—a kind of culture—and I’m beginning to pick up on that vibe every time I drop in somewhere new. Aspire had that sense of community, and it made all the difference. If youre ever in the area and looking for a solid gym, I 100% recommend Aspire.

5 /5 Katrina Weaver: I came to Aspire CrossFit after my long time gym of over 5 years closed and wasn’t sure if I would find another gym that could feel like home. From my first consultation with Sean and my first class I knew I had found my new home and my people and now I can’t imagine training anywhere else. The coaches are there to help you reach your full potential and support you in reaching your goals. Everyone is welcome and supported in their journey…..and our gym dogs are the best ❤️

5 /5 Matt Rutter: Joining Aspire has been life-changing! Before joining, I never regularly lifted or competed in CrossFit. Over the past two years, the coaches have worked with me week after week to build technique, then build strength. Starting my day at the gym is always a highlight, as it gets me in the right mindset to win the rest of the day. Now, my wife and I get to work out together—which is a dream come true. The coaches have been very helpful modifying movements, as necessary. I strongly recommend Sean and his great team!

5 /5 Cara Driscoll: I work with an Aspire personal trainer - Jordan. The guy is PHENOMENAL. I am getting back in shape after injuries and some years off. Jordan has every workout designed for me. I am seeing strength, balance and endurance coming back. He is super smart and super experienced. A fantastic coach and cheerleader. I look forward to every workout! I have nothing but the BEST to say about Aspire. The owner Sean makes an effort to know everyone and the CrossFit coaches are great, helping everyone at any fitness level.
