If you are reading this, it means that you are already considering going to Crossfit 580. My recommendation is to go there and check it out. From the organization and cleanliness of their location, to the environment of courtesy and safety that the knowledgeable trainers foster, this is the perfect place to Crossfit in the East Bay Areas of Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin andTracy. No corners are cut when it comes to guidance and coaching and no member's safety goes overlooked. Their website is top notch, constantly updated, and full of valuable resources. Joy, Mark and Vince are just a few of the awesome trainers that don't mind spending extra time with you as you build a solid foundation of techniques for the more complex movements. You don't have to be in great shape to start there, since all workouts are to scale. There are no excuses not to go. No matter what people write here, nothing is better than going and trying it for your self. Before starting at Crossfit 580 I tried another CrossFit gym that got me into shape, but I did not get the results that I was looking for or the personal attention that you get here. Class workouts, changing from day to day, mean that I never would get stuck doing the same things that I knew I was good at, since those probably aren't the areas you should focus on. Training with other people gives you motivation to cheer on and get cheered on in return. It also makes you do all 50 sit-ups, even if you are dead tired after 40. Because everybody else are doing 50, had I been at the gym I might have stopped earlier since nobody is checking. Since I started a little more than 2 months ago, and working out three times a week I haven't done any workout more than twice. It keeps me interested, something I never felt going to a regular gym.I fell in love with CF580 from day one and if you're willing to take on a new challenge, you will toothat you are already considering going to Crossfit 580.

I think I've tried just about everything in Livermore to get this 32 year old body in good shape. CrossFit 580 is exactly what I need in order to get the results I always wanted. It's not a gym full of muscle heads, it's full of friendly people who are all looking to work hard and go home with a sense of accomplishment. Every trainer is more than happy to show you the proper technique during every workout. This place isn't about how much weight you can lift or how fast you can run, it's about doing the routine properly to obtain maximum results. There's a bunch of terminology that seems a bit overwhelming at first but after a month you start to get a feel for how things work.

Crossfit 580 did a very good job introducing me to the world of crossfit. Having never done these types of workouts before, the on-ramp class was a huge help. They scheduled my class times when I could show up and worked around when I was available. The instructors are all very knowledgable and give individual attention to each attendee.

Their facility is top notch with every piece of gear needed to improve. The workouts are scaled to fit any persons ability level as well. In the month I have been able to attend I have seen huge gains in strength as well as endurance, and cannot go back to normal weight training. If not for having to move I wouldn't go anywhere else for my fitness needs.

I started Crossfit 580 in March 2011 because I was missing my “glory days” figure but I absolutely did not want to go back to “the gym”. During On Ramp, I was intimidated by the workouts but Joy helped me to scale them to my abilities while still allowing me to get a quality workout that was challenging.

As with much in life, you get from Crossfit what you put into it. Crossfit is not easy. Don’t think that you will come in, as you do in the gym, bust out some reps with dumbbells, and call it a day. An hour at Crossfit 580 consists of a complete and well rounded workout. If you give your best effort, you will leave feeling a sense of accomplishment, you will see results, and just maybe, you will get addicted (like me)!

This morning, I put on a pair of slacks that I couldn’t even get over my hips in February. I had to tear apart my closet for a belt to keep them on my waist! I owe this to myself for sticking with it but also to Mark, Joy, Tyler, Marcus, Vince, and Amy as well as my fellow compadres at the Box who motivate and push me to excel every day.

Hi Mark and Joy! I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying CrossFit at CrossFit 580 and more importantly, the benefits I am getting. I am once again enthused about fitness - Yaay! Therefore, please change my membership to Gold effective immediately, if possible. I have settled on a schedule of S-M-T, Th-F which seems to work for me. Thank you for putting together a terrific facility. I will do what I can to maintain the quality and help improve, if that's even possible. Enjoy your weekend and see you Sunday.

I have been going to CrossFit580 for about 8 months now and really enjoy the workouts.  Each day is something new and exciting.  All the trainers are very knowledgeable and supportive.  They are also very mindful of any injuries that you might have had and will work with you to make sure you are not doing the workouts in a way that could hurt you.  Classes range from 2-8 people which is perfect.  The workouts are hard but with the help of the trainers and all the people in the class, they are really fun.  I would highly recommend Crossfit580 to anybody looking for a fun,exciting, challenging workout.

Alright, this is my first ever Yelp review. To this point I've never experienced a local business that's either impressed or frustrated me enough to actually spend the half hour it takes to tell everyone in cyberspace how i really feel about my experience. Well Mark, Joy, Tyler, Vince, Marcus and Amy @ CF580 have impressed me to the point that i decided to get on the Yelp bandwagon; so here goes.

I joined CrossFit 580 about 8 weeks ago for the same reason most out of shape 20-30 somethings join a gym; to get healthy, relieve workplace stress, and of course to look better naked. Ok, 2 out of 3 are true but only 1 of those reasons is really funny. To put this in perspective, prior to joining CF580 the only workout i had done in the previous 8 months was playing Adult Softball one night a week. Needless to say, my first few weeks of CF were wildly painful and challenging, but I loved it and the progress i made was unbelievable.

I started the On Ramp program with Joy and really enjoyed the attention to detail and the small group atmosphere. The On-Ramp program was a six day training session or "Beginners Guide to CrossFit" that gently prepares you for the rigorous workouts that you will eventually look forward to. I came home from my first On-Ramp and was completely hooked, even though it was by far the hardest workout of my life. Joy pushed us when we needed pushing, encouraged us when we needed encouragement and most of all focused us on the fact that CrossFit is all about doing what you can do while maintaining the best form possible, and not caring what anyone else in the class was doing (especially awesome considering i was by far the weakest and most out of shape Crosfitter in the bunch). Most people like myself hate going to the regular gym because you get stuck wandering around the weight room aimlessly surrounded by muscle heads that you can rarely compete with. CrossFit showed me that it didn't matter how much i could lift compared to everyone else or what sort of shape i was in. What mattered was that i showed up, tried my best and scaled the workouts down wherever necessary.

Well, i am 8 weeks in now, 16 pounds lighter, immensely stronger and literally can't wait to get off work and get to CF almost every day. I have enjoyed myself so much so that i actually convinced my fiance to join CF580 and she is loving it just as much as I am. Together we are healthier, happier and actually really enjoy competing on each WOD. CF580 makes it easy to enjoy working out because class sizes are small (range from 2-8 people), the schedule's accommodating, and the group of students/trainers they have assembled is flat out awesome. Every trainer has their personal strengths, but the general message from everyone is "glad you're here, now let's get to work".

I don't think i ever planned on enjoying working out regularly, but Mark and his team have done an awesome job building CF580's reputation as one of the premier CF gym's in the Bay Area. I am so glad i stumbled upon them, and can't wait for tomorrow's WOD. If you've never challenged yourself with a tough workout, this is definitely the place to throw caution to the wind and jump in with both feet. You will not be disappointed.

If you already know about CrossFit, you should know that this particular gym stands above the usual that you might find. What sets this gym apart is the personal attention and guided training. You will not be left to "figure it out on your own".
CrossFit 580 has a very structured on-ramp program for getting you started, and on-ramp is even helpful to people who have been training in the CrossFit movements on their own for a year or more to help them fine tune things or to "fill in the gaps".
The facility is very clean and organized, and the equipment is in good working order (much of it is new). Great location just a minute from Hwy 580, and you will not have to compete with foot or vehicle traffic hardly at all.
Best of all, the members are great people to be around and train with.
If you've never tried CrossFit, I can tell you from personal experience and from witnessing what it can do for people that CrossFit training can and will change your life. It will change you not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. That testimony might sound too good to be true for a general physical fitness program, but I am not exaggerating!
CrossFit 580 is a great place to get involved!
