  • CrossFit Classes

    CrossFit classes are the backbone of what we do at S3E Performance Fitness. In a small group setting, we will coach you through an hour-long session (warm-up, skill work, WOD, mobility, etc.) alongside some of the best friends and family you’ve EVER had in a gym. You will learn the basics of powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, simple gymnastics and bodyweight movements. You will always receive instruction from a certified and experienced coach and will constantly be observed to ensure that you are performing all movements in a safe and efficient manner.

  • PERSONAL TRAINING

    For many people, our group classes are everything they need to meet their goals. Yet the group classes are not the ideal solution to every person and situation. Whether you feel that need a long-term one-on-one approach, have very specific needs or goals, or just feel the need for more personalized instruction, personal training may be your best option. We will work with your schedule to conduct these one-hour, one-on-one sessions to help you reach your goals in the most effective, safest environment possible.

  • FIT 4 LIFE

    A brand new program designed for our senior community and those looking for a more modified approach to CrossFit.  The target ages is 65+ but we use that age very loosely.  This program is designed for a small group setting where we will coach you through an hour-long session that will focus on mobility/flexibility, balance and coordination, stamina, strength and power.  Our goal is to enhance your ability to perform daily tasks.

  • I have loved working out with Matt and his staff, at S3E Performance Fitness. I am so much stronger than I was when I first started working out with them. I appreciate the fact that they take time teaching me correct form and also pushing me to do more each week. The entire staff is so motivating and positive. I look forward to class each week and know that I am always going to get a great workout and for sure feel it the next day!

  • I’ve never had anything but fun while working out with Coach Matt, even when I was questioning my sanity in signing up for CrossFit. Coach Matt has an affinity for cracking jokes, an obvious passion for what he does, and just the right amount of encouragement to keep you pushing through the tough moments of your WOD. On top of that, he’s always available and excited to answer any and all questions you have. When you’re at S3E Performance, you’re immediately part of the family, and that’s why I’ll always come back.

  • Matt, Megan, and everyone over at S3E Performance are PHENOMENAL! Matt is a world class coach, combining YEARS of experience in CrossFit with an endurance training background. Being a high level Obstacle Course Racing athlete and fellow coach myself, Matt is the only guy in town that I trust with my own programming in order to help me reach my goals. His commitment to his craft and attention to detail are unmatched! HIGHLY recommend S3E!
