We pride ourselves on our strong community, awesome coaches and the friendships & bonds that have been created throughout the years in our gym.  

CrossFit Thunder Hill started the old fashion way, as a garage gym. In 2009, co-owner John Wallen became bored of the typical workout routine at the YMCA and stumbled across this crazy fitness program called CrossFit. He began following the CrossFit.com workouts in his garage and became hooked. John earned his CF-L1 designation in 2010 where he met Rob Miller, owner of CrossFit Delaware Valley.

In 2011, John realized that he wanted more coaching and was looking for the “CrossFit community” that everyone was talking about. He joined CrossFit Delaware Valley and immediately loved the coaching and atmosphere. He easily convinced Jill that she had to try it. Jill was extremely nervous attending her first class. But once she experienced the coaching, the support, and the community, she knew this was the fitness program for her. Jill earned her CF-L1 designation in 2012.

After over a year of traveling an hour (each way) to CrossFit Delaware Valley we returned to training and began training others in our garage…CrossFit Thunder Hill was born! We had the equipment, the knowledge, the experience and a lot of fun. As more and more people realized the benefits CrossFit, we quickly grew out of our garage. We moved into a larger space in Toughkenamon where we stayed for over a year. Then we found our current location in Oxford!

Our mission is to help our community get “better”! By better we mean – healthier, fitter, more confident, more flexible, stronger, smarter and happier. To do this, we are providing an awesome, supportive and friendly fitness environment where you will achieve things that you never thought you could and you will push yourself to places you never knew existed. You will feel better, you will look better, you will be better!

The beauty of our sport is that we are all in it together, motivating one another. It’s a sport where the person last to finish the workout receives more high fives than the person first to finish.
