See What Our Members Are Saying

  • "I've been doing Crossfit for over a decade and I've been a member at many gyms across multiple states. Blacktop felt like a home immediately. The coaches make you feel like you're part of a community. They REALLY care about your progress. They will push you, encourage you and make you better. They show up for you even when you don't feel like showing up for yourself. So glad I found this gym.

  • What a really great gym! Strong sense of community amongst the members. They have a great app for booking and tracking your workouts. There were lots of membership options for any schedule. I definitely am coming back here. I've been to a lot of gyms, and I can say that I highly recommend this one.
