CrossFit 1886 - Orange, California

Fran Ces

CrossFit 1886 is totally different from the other gyms I’ve been to. It’s bright (unlike the other gyms where the walls are painted black), very spacious , airy & lets in natural sunlight. The floor has multiple platforms for weightlifting (something also not available at most gyms). The bathrooms are beautiful. Aside from the daily WOD’s, they have partner WOD’s every Saturday. They offer an OLY class, functional bodybuilding and PUMP SESH on Sundays. Everyone is very friendly. The coaches are all well rounded athletes as well. Once you experience this place, you won’t wanna leave.

I’ve been doing CrossFit for 10 years and have seen my share of boxes. After the pandemic, I was looking for a new place to workout. 1886 checked every box for me friendly people, solid coaching and a beautiful huge facility. I live 14 miles away but this gym is so great that I make the drive multiple times a week.

Patrick, the owner, has another box in the Big Bear area which tells me he’s passionate about CrossFit and knows how to successfully run a gym.

Ryan, the manager, is just AMAZING! He was the first person I met. Super friendly, knowledgeable coach, fun, just an all around great person.

I’ve attended classes in the mornings and evenings. Every coach has been great!

The members are so friendly and not cliquey like other gyms. They are serious about fitness but not insanely competitive. As a mom of 2 little boys, it’s so helpful that there is a kids area for them to play while I workout.

I tell anyone who’s looking for a box about 1886! So grateful to have found my new CrossFit family.

Can’t say enough good things about CF1886. I’ve been doing CrossFit for awhile. Was looking for a new gym, dropped in and knew after the first class this was the place i wanted to be.
The coaches are amazing. Not only do they have great energy, they are knowledgeable, encouraging and not hesitant to correct form.
The programming is great and an emphasis is placed on form, achieving the workout stimulus and not weight used. Oh and the members have been incredible welcoming and encouraging.

About 1.5yrs ago I walked into CF 1886 looking for a place to workout. Had never done CrossFit before but they made me feel very comfortable giving it a try as it’s scalable to meet any individual at any fitness level. All of the coaches are awesome and knowledgeable. CF 1886 has an amazing community of people who challenge each other, hold each other accountable and offer support that is incredibly motivating!

I’ve been doing CrossFit for 6 months and wish I joined sooner rather than later. I was initially intimidated to join because I didn’t know if I would be able to keep up with the strong athletes but it’s ok to go at your pace and the coaches are super helpful! I love the 5:30am crew and look forward to each workout, the 1886 facility is super nice and highly recommend.
