FAQs

We understand you have plenty of options — from budget gyms to home equipment or personal training. But instead of comparing price alone, consider asking: What are my goals?

If you're looking for expert coaching, personalized attention, a supportive community, and real accountability, CrossFit Provoke offers far more than access to equipment. We’re here to help you get results — and enjoy the journey alongside people who care. If that sounds like what you're looking for, we’d love to meet you.

We want your first experience at CrossFit Provoke to be comfortable and welcoming. One of our expert coaches will give you a tour of the gym, sit down with you to discuss your fitness goals, guide you through a quick fitness assessment, and explain exactly what to expect moving forward.

If you're just getting started, we recommend coming 3 times per week for the first couple of weeks. From there, build up to 4 or 5 days per week, with at least 2 active recovery days built into your routine for optimal results.

Yes — absolutely. At CrossFit Provoke, we meet you where you are. Our workouts are scalable for all fitness levels, and our community includes people of every age, background, and ability — from elite athletes to beginners just starting their journey. Whether you're training for a competition or simply want to feel better in everyday life, you're welcome here. No judgment. Just progress.

You can find us at 2312 Pacific Coast Highway, Lomita, CA — just behind Pendleton and Project Barley. If the lot is full, there’s additional parking available on Cypress Street.

Please use the single-door entrance next to Beach Tennis for the easiest access to our facility.

We don’t have a traditional front desk — but don’t worry! One of our coaches will greet you when you arrive, especially if it’s your first visit.

We provide a cubby area where you can safely store your personal items. You’re also welcome to keep your belongings nearby during your workout if you prefer.

Yes! We offer:

• Three bathrooms available for changing
• One shower located upstairs
• A water refill station for your convenience

No problem — we have a vending machine stocked with water and pre-workout drinks. Just a heads-up: we don’t provide cups, so please bring a refillable bottle.

We’ve got you covered with a wipe dispenser located by the roll-up door. Please clean any equipment you use after class.

All of our classes are coach-led, group-based CrossFit sessions, with built-in scaling options for every fitness level. We also offer Open Gym times for athletes who want to follow their own programming.

We recommend wearing low-profile cross-training shoes, especially for lifting days. Stick to comfortable, breathable workout clothes that allow you to move freely.

Please bring a water bottle and any personal gear you like to use. We provide shared chalk buckets to help keep your hands dry during lifts and gymnastics movements.

Absolutely! Every class is coach-led, and our coaches will:

• Break down each movement step by step
• Offer scaling options based on your ability and experience
• Provide real-time feedback to keep you safe and progressing

Our workouts are constantly varied and change daily to keep things fun, challenging, and effective.

• One class will give you a feel for the flow
• A few weeks will show you just how much progress you can make

Yes — and in fact, that’s one of the best reasons to start! CrossFit is fully scalable, meaning every movement can be modified to suit your current fitness level. Whether you’re brand new or getting back into it, our coaches will guide you every step of the way.
