From Ashes to Opportunity: Our Story Caught the Eye of Dave Castro
When CrossFit Trussville’s gym burned to the ground, we didn’t stop—we showed up the next day. Two years later, we opened the PHNX Collective, a space born from resilience. Hear why Dave Castro wanted to tell our story and why this place means more than fitness.
CrossFit vs. ReBoot: Which One’s Right for You?
Looking to get fit in Trussville but not sure where to start? At CrossFit Trussville, we offer two high-impact group programs—CrossFit and ReBoot—each built for different goals, fitness levels, and seasons of life.
Both will change your life.
But choosing the right one? That’s how you create momentum.
How to Make Fitness a Lifestyle—Even When Life Gets Busy
Life is full. Jobs, kids, laundry, deadlines. There will always be a reason to skip the gym. But at CrossFit Trussville, we believe something powerful:
Fitness isn’t a luxury—it’s a foundation.
We don’t just help you “find time” for the gym.
We help you build rhythms that make your health part of how you live.
Why We Train Like This at CrossFit Trussville
There’s a reason you won’t see rows of treadmills or isolated machine circuits at CrossFit Trussville.
We train for real life.
Our programming is built around functional movements—the kinds of things your body is designed to do: lift, jump, carry, push, pull, run. Every workout is intentional, and every exercise has a purpose beyond the gym walls.

ReBoot vs. CrossFit: Which One Is Right for You?
At CrossFit Trussville, both programs get results—but they meet different needs. Whether you're new to fitness or ready to level up, here's how to find your lane.
Training the Mind Alongside the Muscles
At CrossFit Trussville, we don’t just train bodies—we build mental toughness.
Sure, we’ll teach you how to squat with power, move with purpose, and breathe under fatigue.
But the biggest wins? They’re internal.
When the Gym Becomes Your Safe Place
Everyone walks through our doors carrying something.
Stress. Burnout. Overwhelm. Frustration. Grief. Exhaustion.
At CrossFit Trussville, we don’t ignore that. We meet it head-on—with movement, mindset, and community that lifts each other up.
