Caged CrossFit

Caged CrossFit operates out of a unit on 122nd Avenue North in the eastern part of Clearwater, not far from the Ulmerton Road corridor that connects toward Largo and the airport. The gym is both veteran-owned and firefighter-owned, a detail it displays prominently through certification badges on its site, and that background shows up in the gym’s self-description as a strength and conditioning facility that treats the CrossFit method as a framework rather than a strict formula. The coaching staff includes Danny and Kirstin Lemieux along with Krissy Longstreet, Ronald Alvarado, Kayla Bear, and Christina Hamm, a roster large enough to cover a full week of programmed classes.

The gym runs daily CrossFit classes built around constantly varied functional movement, the standard approach across CrossFit-affiliated gyms nationally, but Caged also offers personal training and sport-specific training for athletes who need programming built around a particular goal rather than the general class track. Drop-in classes are available for visitors and travelers who want to keep a training streak going while away from their home gym, and the facility periodically hosts seminars for members who want to go deeper on specific skills like Olympic lifting technique or mobility work.

Membership at Caged runs through standard plan options along with a straightforward drop-in rate for one-off visits, and new members can get started either by contacting the gym directly or through the online scheduling system the gym uses to manage class sign-ups and drop-in bookings. The gym markets its atmosphere as a defining part of the member experience, describing a close-knit group that trains together regularly rather than a rotating cast of strangers, which is a common draw for CrossFit-style gyms generally but one Caged leans into directly in how it talks about its community on its own site.

Because Caged is an independently owned gym run by its own coaching staff out of a single Clearwater location rather than as part of a larger multi-location chain, the day-to-day coaching stays consistent, with the same small group of trainers running the programming and working the floor during classes. That consistency is part of what the gym points to when describing its “one-of-a-kind atmosphere,” since members see familiar coaches session after session rather than a revolving staff.

For anyone in the eastern Clearwater and Ulmerton Road area looking for a strength and conditioning gym built around structured group classes rather than a traditional open gym membership, Caged is a locally run option with a coaching staff that includes both public safety and military backgrounds, a combination that shapes the gym’s culture and the way it talks about discipline and consistency in training. Prospective members are generally encouraged to try a class before committing to a full membership.
