CrossFit Eixample
2023 Nov 06
I was visiting Barcelona for a few weeks and heard from my partner that CF Eixample is a very good vibes gym. It’s very true, it’s a very happy great energy place.

They have an excellent schedule. I’m used to having to really schedule my day around the XF schedule but CFE had classes and Open gym non stop which made my life very easy.

Another common pitfall of some boxes is that sometimes they can lean too far towards certain movement, or do too many strength only days, or too many overhead days etc… I felt like CFE was a good balance. Strength was usually built into wods, they did squats frequently and occasional good mix of OH stuff.

Coaches are clearly happy to be there and love what they do. They’re motivating and knowledgeable. Some specific shoutouts - I’ve had classes with Stella and with jacked grey haired muscle-ups guy, and they were both great. and I’ve spoken to Marcos most days I stopped by. Oh and Marcos’s pup is very special.

It’s obv Spanish-first gym. I don’t really speak Spanish but it wasn’t an issue. Marcos and Stella speak perfect English, the other coach speaks a tiny bit and someone in the class is always bilingual. Also Spanish people gesticulate a lot, you’ll figure it out 😂

One thing is pretty often their wods are extremely ambitious. Some time caps are pretty impossible. Which doesn’t really matter, your score just becomes what you get done before the cap, but if you’re used to gentle wods, it can be off putting.

The equipment is excellent, they’ve got everything and smartly organized space. Location is great, you’ll have a billion options for refilling after the workout.

TLDR - lovely people, solid gym, great atmosphere, excellent difficult workouts. 100% would recommend 🏋️‍♀️💕
