CrossFit SOPO Germantown

CrossFit SOPO has been my first experience with a CrossFit type gym. It’s been more rewarding and fulfilling that any gym experience I’ve ever had, without a doubt. I believe that’s due to two things: true accountability/community among the members and having a staff that cares about your health. There is a strong emphasis by the coaching staff on proper movement and flexibility which reduces the risk of injury and also increases strength. For any age or skill level, this is a place that welcomes you and pushes you. The people are the reason I keep coming back!!!

I cannot speak more highly of this gym. I started here after moving from out of state and instantly found a community. The coaches are welcoming, talented and attentive and the members are incredible. The workouts are intense but manageable and there’s so much variety, nothing feels mundane. I’m currently pregnant and the coaches have taken it to the next level in coaching me to make sure I can still participate but that I’m doing so safely. They are so knowledgeable and skilled that I completely trust them with my health and safety. Love this place!

I’ve participated in many forms of exercise through the years but the philosophy and long term application of CrossFit is the best I’ve found. It is functional fitness at its finest. All the staff is well trained and helpful but Amanda has changed my life. With her knowledge, training and experience, she has taken me from broken and afraid to move, as injury and age are taking their toll, to a new level of comfort, fitness and confidence that I thought was gone forever. I will never stop doing CrossFit. The SOPO staff & clientele are friendly & welcoming and there is something for everyone. The programs and coaching are the real deal.

I was in town from Nashville and dropped for the 5:45 class…..just what I needed.! Ryan is a really good coach!

I have been a proud member of this gym for a little over five years now. Can’t say enough great things about it. Not only have I become stronger physically, but my mental strength and confidence have greatly improved both inside and outside the gym. It is an extremely welcoming and positive environment with a great community. I have also appreciated the gyms wholistic approach to both nutrition, working out, and recovery. As someone who was completely new to the gym and CrossFit, the coaches were great about easing me into everything and providing scaled options so I could go at my own pace. You get the best of both worlds with each class-the encouragement and feel of a group fitness class with the detail and individualization you’d get from a personal training session.

A little disclosure: While I've been a believer Crossfit, I spent almost a decade away from it after a bad experience at another gym (not near Memphis). I'm also a novice on this stuff. I started at SOPO about two years ago and didn't look back when working with the coaches - Amanda and Ryan are top notch and find ways to help me get just a little bit better at the weightlifting and gymnastics movements each time I go. (There are lots of scaled options that are disclosed and there is no shame or concern about doing that.) The great community has made it a pleasure to work out at - and I highly recommend it.

I started CrossFit at this gym about a year ago. It is definitely a welcoming and supportive environment where newbies can feel comfortable. I am a slightly older athlete and had not previously done any work with barbells. The excellent coaches here have taught me correct techniques for lifting weight and how to safely scale movements that I am not yet ready to do. Through this work, I have seen a lot of gains in strength and speed.

This place is family. If you’re intimidated by the thought of joining a CrossFit gym as a beginner, know that these coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and will modify any movement to your current skill level. Additionally, the other members will never judge you and will always cheer you on! Whether you’re learning to do your first squat with proper form or wanting to perfect your muscle ups, this gym has what you need.

Excellent communication, friendly coaches, and fun programming! Ive been going all week during my visit and I've been so happy I haven't even searched another gym to drop in to!

Extremely friendly group of people. I was in town from Alaska and they treated me just as my home gym would. If you're looking for a drop in, I would highly recommend SOPO.

My sister (an avid CrossFitter) and I (interested beginner) visited this location today during our vacation to Memphis and it was awesome! Amanda was warm and welcoming as soon as we walked through the door. She modified routines for me, which I greatly appreciated, and coached us during the whole session. I never felt embarrassed or out of my comfort zone, which I was really nervous about. I highly recommend this place to anyone! Even the other members were very friendly and helpful! Amazing.
