CrossFit Oyster Point - Newport News, Virginia

Andrea K.

Update after exactly 1 year in: This gym continues to blow me away for the next two reasons:
1. Not only have I PR’d in every lift (thanks Roxy and James!) over the last year, but I’ve also:
Got my first:
- Kipping pull up
- strict pull up
- chest to bar
- double under
- kipping hand stand push up
- 24 inch box jump
After a year, we had to make the very tough decision to leave and it’s so hard to say goodbye to our family and friends at this box.

2. My husband and I have truly became CrossFit athletes at this box, and we know we will always have a home at OP. Di, Jim, James, Sarah, Justin, Amanda, Chas, Ashley(s), Roxy, Bomba, David, Jess, Corey, Sean, Sandi, and the rest of the team - Thank you for your mentoring and coaching over the past year. We have grown so much because of you guys and you got us through some of the hardest times .. and the best times! ❤️

This team is TOP KNOTCH. If you’re on this page, just give them a shot and you’ll see why 💪💥

10 months in: After a less than favorable experience at our previous CrossFit gym in Hampton, my husband and I were hesitant to step into another box. CrossFit Oyster Point completely transformed our outlook, not only restoring our faith in the sport but also redefining what a fitness community should feel like. A huge part of our positive experience comes from the incredible warmth and leadership of the owners, Dianne (Di) and Jim Koske. From day one, they welcomed us with open arms, taking the time to listen to our concerns and making us feel at home. Their genuine care for every member is evident in every interaction—they go above and beyond to create a safe, supportive, and uplifting environment.

The coaches, handpicked by Di and Jim are also exceptional—knowledgeable, attentive, and deeply invested in each member’s success. They ensure workouts are tailored to your fitness level while still challenging you to grow. Safety and form are prioritized, which was a refreshing change for us. The community at CrossFit Oyster Point is another highlight. Di and Jim have cultivated a space where camaraderie thrives, and every member feels valued. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to CrossFit, you’re embraced as part of the family. The positivity and encouragement here are infectious, creating a space where we look forward to every workout. Beyond workouts, this box prioritizes the community aspect of CrossFit; there is always a fun event to look forward to or a chance give back to the community.

CrossFit Oyster Point has set the gold standard for what CrossFit can and should be. Di and Jim’s passion, kindness, and dedication to their members make this gym truly special. If you’re looking for a place that emphasizes health, community, and personal growth, look no further! Thank you, Di and Jim, for creating a gym that feels like home for my husband and I. You’ve reignited our love for CrossFit, and we are so grateful for the positive impact you’ve had on lives and so many others in our community.

I wish I could give 7 stars!! I’m not usually a person who drops into gyms especially by myself but the culture and environment was so welcoming that I not only dropped in, I was there 4 of the 4 days I was in Virginia. I did class and open gym. In fact, Coach Colby was so welcoming I went from open gym to class. Every coach made an extra effort to welcome me and multiple gym members introduced themselves and made me feel welcome even when I was doing open gym in the back. I cannot speak more highly of this gym. If you’re in town, check it out!!

Experienced a very professional, friendly, and welcoming crew at this gym today. I have been around CrossFit a minute, but the level of devotion to top tier experience and safety in this facility is second to none. A well oiled machine with experienced coaches and staff with smiles all around!

CrossFit Oyster point is an amazing gym! I was only visiting Newport News for a week but the staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home, and the regular members were super friendly. Also, the coaches really helped me out with some of the skills. Even though I wasn't a regular member they took the time to offer pointers with certain movements. I will DEFINITELY be visiting them again the next time I'm in town. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I love OP. CrossFit is known for their sense of community, but OP is much more than that. You feel part of the family. Even my kids love to go! One of my huge draws to OP when I first joined in 2018 was their “kid-friendly” atmosphere. The kids (all ages) have a space where they can safely watch you workout or just hang and watch tv. Most of the kids love coming with their parents because they know the other “friends” are showing up too! My daughter is 10 now and has participated in the kids camps, private training and every now and then… joins me for a “partner” workout.

The owners and staff are extremely professional and personable. I couldn’t imagine life without my OP family.

I was down in the area for a few days for work and looking for a CrossFit not too far from the job site or hotel too drop in at, glad I found the time to get in at CrossFit Oyster Point! Sandi was above and beyond helpful with the drop in process and helping me exchange my shirt after I dropped in when I got the wrong size (I'm a large, I know I'm a large, no matter how big the large looks I am not a medium-and that's okay) and Bomba (sp?) ran a great and super friendly class, a little ice breaker but nothing too kitschy, and I even got to demo some movements for the class. When I was there they were doing Mayhem programming which made it even better as that's our programming at my home box so I could even log the same workouts as my crew back home. If/when I'm back in the area I'll definitely stop by again! Oh, and there was a dog in the class after mine-Maggie-very sweet, wants all the attention and belly rubs 11/10

Did a drop in, and the with Crossfit, expect the unexpected! The workout was a partner WOD, so not bad! Dropped in on a Thursday evening and the class was full! There was enough space to do the workout all the way in the back! Me and my partner finished and went over time just by a minute or so, but it did not matter!

Even with a busy class, the coach and staff was able to make me and my coworker feel at home! I am glad we did a drop in at this gym! Everyone was also friendly introducing themselves! I have yet to come to a gym where everyone is that friendly and welcoming! Who ever lives in Newport News should give this gym a shot! Your money is worth it! I would have bought a shirt, but I was broke! Haha!

This gym is amazing. 5 stars for me! It is a spacious building and the people are amazing! It shows they care and want you to feel good! I am not dead and survived the WOD!

Booked late. Got there late. Diane helped me set up to get caught and was awesome. Very friendly atmosphere. The gym was very clean and the equipment is in great shape. This is the gym for me next time I’m in town. Great group of people.
