Been training at Clipper City for about eight months. I hope to continue for a very long time, and here's why:
The coaches are friendly, motivating, and knowledgeable. The ratio of coaches to crossfitters is high, so there's always someone in your corner backing you up and making sure you're using correct form.
Folks from all walks of life are welcome, regardless of body shape, fitness level, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, dietary habits, etc.
If you put in the effort, the regimen will produce results - your body will look and feel faster, stronger, leaner, and more stable. I can see the changes in my teammates, and I barely recognize myself in the mirror (I have the before-and-after photos to prove it). Sit-ups and stair steppers are for the birds.
The workouts are challenging, short, and best of all, they’re fun as heck. Crossfit is the closest thing to a real-world video game: jumping over stuff, climbing ropes, and picking up heavy things, all while trying to beat your previous high score. Don't worry if you're not in shape - everyone works at their own pace. You're only competing against yourself.
The best part about his place? The people. Yup. It’s true what they say - nothing makes fast friends like doing burpees and squat cleans together. Clipper City’s crossfitters are a bunch of genuinely good-hearted and...
Read moreGreat gym. Great people. Great location.
This gym is a diamond in the rough. It's located in a converted basement of the historic clipper mill, offering a unique entrance to what, I came find, was ample space for virtually any fitness activity I could think of.
I've been an athlete for a large part of my life and the workouts here incorporate equal parts learning, fun, and intensity. I'm always greeted with enthusiasm, end up identifying something to improve my technique, and most importantly find a place where I feel comfortable and end up leaving with a smile.
At the end of the day, picking a gym isn't rocket surgery, but surrounding yourself with a good group of supportive people is going to give you that sticking factor- giving you the leg-up you need to achieve your fitness goals, no matter how outlandish or modest they might be.
Plain and simple- I couldn't go to another gym and find a more sincere, happy, and helpful group of people who create a community that's welcoming to all ages and...
Read moreI signed up at Clipper City Crossfit about 7 months ago. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. The coaches are very knowledgable and give helpful one-on-one advice to make sure your form is good so you're getting the most of your time at the gym. Clipper City Crossfit is located blocks away from The Avenue in Hampden with easy access to 83. It's in the lower level of the Mill Centre (plenty of parking - there's a parking lot next to the building). On the interior, there is a ton of space, plenty of equipment, and good tunes playing. There's a good sense of community with the people there too. Everyone is really supportive and will even cheer you on to help get you to the end of the daily workout. Also, CCC has special mobility training classes and monthly swim workouts at a nearby pool. Signing up at CCC was one of the best decisions I've...
