Verdant CrossFit

I've gone to this gym 6x a week for the last 9 months. Basile's emphasis on form, safety, and quality movements over ego, RXing, or anything else is one of the many things that makes this gym exceptional. If you are new to CrossFit or Olympic weightlifting this is where you want to go in the treasure valley to learn how to correctly lift and move your body. Coaches won't feed you BS or tell you the 100th time you have done a movement wrong that it's correct. They will keep kindly correcting you and won't give up on helping you learn a new skill or movement. I have been to other gyms in the area that are not committed to consistently working with all their members on learning movements correctly. The result was unsafe practices and preventable injuries. Even though this gym has some insanely fit and strong people - I'm talking CrossFit games level fit - Basile does a wonderful job at making the average crossfiters that come here for daily workout feel just as valued and coaches them no differently. The community here is amazing. There are incredible athletes, fantastic coaches, and a whole lot of good, kind, and caring people. Verdant does a great job planning gym events every two weeks or so to create that community. Gym hikes, game nights, socials, river floats, ect. This gym is unique because it has an Olympic lifting side of it. It has athletes that compete in Olympic lifting as well as CrossFit. They also have a barbell class that regular old joes like me can attend twice a week. This class has helped me significantly improve my lifting form and gain confidence. They also have a yoga class once a week which Emily does a great job teaching and I enjoy. In a nutshell this gym is well run, very professional, has exceptional coaching, and wonderful people. If you want to learn to learn excellent form, get in great shape, and make good friends - swallow your ego, listen to the coaches, and show up here consistently.

Great and consistent programming and coaching. Members and staff are welcoming; it’s great that they use Wodify (makes it easy to transfer data from other boxes). I most appreciate that the instructors provide active feedback and know everyone well enough to give specific and actionable coaching. They’re not afraid to give helpful and active feedback, which is what I’m there for. Good range of members, so you’ll be in good company no matter where you’re at in your exercise journey. Honestly can’t think of a single negative. Parking is slightly more constrained, but they managed to carve out lots of options and spaces, so it works.

Dropped in while in town for work and definitely recommend Verdant. The staff and members were super welcoming and I look forward to coming back next time I’m in Boise.

Verdant CrossFit is a great, welcoming community. The owner and coaches are a big part of the community! The programming for CrossFit is great and challenging, the kids program is wonderful. A 5 star facility with an owner who cares! Second location in Star is just as great.

Best coaches I have worked with. Patient, precise, great cues and instruction. If you are considering crossfit, this is the place.
