Testimonials
When I joined CFTW I was looking for a way to physically challenge myself, having been a collegiate athlete and trained in a team environment for years, I wanted a group atmosphere in which everyone is trying to reach personal goals together as a ?team?.
What I get at CFTW is unconventional, extremely challenging, motivational and best of all fun with high energy from members who genuinely want to see you improve. Never have I endured work out?s as physically demanding, yet emotionally and socially rewarding. In just three months of working out at CFTW I am more fit compared to previous years of working out with other sports programs. I didn?t think as I became older I would continue to improve as much as I have.
Scott is personally committed to seeing each and every member reach their goals and spends a great deal of time teaching proper technique. It doesn?t matter if you are new to exercise or if you are an experienced athlete, he challenges every member to their full potential and provides guidance you cannot get anywhere else.
I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to physically and mentally improve themselves, see progress in weeks and reach goals never thought before possible.

Scott,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the truly excellent training I?ve experienced over the past six months. I came to CrossFit not quite sure what to expect. The CrossFit system had been recommended to me by a few folks in the law enforcement community as way to take one?s fitness to the next level. To be honest, I wasn?t even sure what the ?next level? meant. For the most part, I have taken responsibility for own training and fitness over the last ten or so years. I learned what I could from books and from chatting from others who are obviously in much better shape than I am, trying to pick up gyms of training wisdom from them along the way. I was doing ok. I was comfortably running 5-6 miles, hitting the ?usual? gyms from time to time for strength/resistance training an MOSTLY feeling pretty good about the process. But there were always gaps. I?d try to do some actual physical work get a sore low back for a couple of days. Or, if the intensity of the physical work was at anything above my relaxed running pace, I?d get fatigued and run out of steam pretty fast. I wasn?t entirely whether or not that this was just me coming up against my fitness limit/genetic potential or if I just wasn?t it as good as shape as I was trying to convince myself I was? And neither did I know how to figure out which one it might be!
So, based both on wanting to try something different, AND having a relatively serious physical fitness evaluation on the horizon, for an upcoming career change, I decided to give CrossFit a shot. And I haven?t regretted it for a moment. It has lived up to all of its promises and more. It HAS taken my fitness to the next level. It IS functional fitness that translates directly out into the real world in a way that a simple muscle-isolating resistance weight curl/push/pull never really can. Coupled with all of that, an ingredient that a lot of commercial gyms simply miss; it is very self-reinforcing. Despite how tough you know the workout that day is going to be, you WANT to be there. The atmosphere, the sense of camaraderie, the personal challenge, the occasional friendly interpersonal competition, the insane variety of workouts? It all adds up to being a tremendously enjoyable experience. As you say, results are not guaranteed, they are earned, but while you are earning them, despite the physical ass-kicking you might be receiving, you are having fun, plain and simple. And that makes it easy to come back, day after day, week after week, month after month,
I?ll miss CrossFit the Woodlands, and some of the people I?ve had the pleasure of meeting there, but I am taking the realization that I haven?t even come CLOSE to hitting my full genetic physical fitness levels, with me, as I move on. Many Personal Records waiting out there to be demolished.
Thanks for it all and best of luck with the new facility and with whatever the future brings.

I started training with Scott a little over a year ago ? when I started, my push-ups were poor, I couldn?t run to save my life, I could maybe do 1 or 2 strict pull-ups and I could the count the number of sequential jump-ropes I could do on my fingers
I started training with Scott a little over a year ago ? when I started, my push-ups were poor, I couldn?t run to save my life, I could maybe do 1 or 2 strict pull-ups and I could the count the number of sequential jump-ropes I could do on my fingers. The worst part was, I though I was in shape. I?d been working out at the gym on a regular basis, spending an hour or so split between weights and cardio. I even had sessions with two different trainers who gave me tips and pointers on ways to improve my fitness.
The first time I trained with Scott, I thought I was going to die after working out for just 30 minutes. We basically did pull-ups and rowing and I saw just how out of shape I really was. A year later, we?ll run through a light workout of 50 strict push-ups, 50 pull-ups, running a few miles and then rowing for 1000 meters, and that?s just the warmup. The workouts never get boring ? I don?t think I?ve done the same thing twice in the last year. Between exercises like jump rope, burpees, mountain climbers, sled-dragging, tire-flips, sprinting, leg and shoulder complexes, boxing, biking, squats, ball slams, pull-ups, push-ups and box jumps, to name a few, the variety is refreshing.
My weight has probably stayed close to the same, maybe dropping 5-10 pounds, but my weight distribution has greatly changed, as well as my body-fat percentage. More definition, more strength and more endurance have all been side effects of some of the most intense workouts I?ve ever experienced.

I have never had a daily workout like I get with Scott. I love the fact that I get the workout that leaves me humbled each time I leave his gym. I think the type of motivation he boasts, in addition to the results I see in my fitness, keep me coming back again and again. Although I complain of soreness almost daily, I feel like its worth every ibuprofen I take. Fitness is the biggest and most valuable commitment you will ever make to yourself and I feel like I get what I?m looking for each workout. Bye for now I need to take some ibuprofen.

Scott Wells and the CrossFit The Woodlands facility is the only place I will ever train. I wasted thousands of dollars on trainers that wanted to train around my injury. Scott trained me past my injury and I have greater functional movement than I have had in 10 years.
