5. CrossFit Santa Cruz Central

Welcome to CrossFit Santa Cruz Central; founded in 2008 by five "original" Crossfitters. CFSCC is located less than 700 ft from where the very first CrossFit gym was located on Research Park Drive in Soquel, California. Undoubtedly, Co-Owner/Founder of CFSCC, Annie Sakamoto, has earned a respected reputation within the fitness community, and specifically the CrossFit space. Annie competed in her first CrossFit Games in 2009, as a member of CrossFit Santa Cruz Central’s team. Then in 2011, she competed at the Games, as an individual, finishing 9th in the world. She would then make it to the Games for the third time, in 2012, finishing 23rd in the world. Programs offered here include CrossFit Classes, FIT4Life Classes, Youth Training, and Central Fitness Express. The one thing I love about this gym is how there's open gym available Monday - Friday from 7 am - 9 am.
