CrossFit 516 — Attraction in Town of North Hempstead

I joined CrossFit 516 exactly one year ago, and I've gained so much more than I expected. The coaches, the people, and the atmosphere make it so much more than just a gym you go to before or after work. It's a place you look forward to returning to every time you leave.

After feeling like I had reached the limit of what I could achieve on my own at a chain gym, I joined Crossfit516 after doing research into CF. After training at CrossFit 516 for the past 12 months, I'm confident it was the right decision.

Many members have been here for over a decade, and it's not uncommon to meet people who have left other CrossFit locations to train here.

One of the best parts for newcomers is the intro program, which is perfect for easing into the workouts. The coaches are experts and genuinely care about your progress. The workouts are intense but scalable, making them accessible to all fitness levels.

I joined at 39, and there are members younger and older, so neither your age nor current fitness level should hold you back from checking out CrossFit516.

One-on-one coaching is available, and training with Coach Ellen has been one of the best decisions I've made (and I've made a lot of great decisions).

Initially, I planned to do a few sessions to learn more about Olympic lifting, avoid bad habits, and perform better in class, but I'm going into week 24 and it's far exceeded the goals and expectations I initially set. It's rare to get more out of something than you hope for, but that has defined my experience here. There's always something new to learn in CrossFit, and it's also a lot of fun.

Whether you're in class next to someone training for the Open or "just" staying in shape, everyone is welcoming. If you're looking for a place to redefine your limits, achieve your fitness goals, and be part of an amazing community, CrossFit 516 won't let you down.

The longevity of Crossfit516 speaks for itself. The coaches are incredible, and their love of CF makes training here nothing but a...

While I and my Girlfriend no longer are members (we moved out of State), CrossFit 516 holds an extremely special place in our hearts. If you want a stereo typical "CrossFit" gym, I am sorry but you will be pleasantly disappointed. 516 is so much more then a gym. It is a second home, a family of supportive and accepting individuals who truly care about one another. Each member brings a unique dynamic and energy, which is amplified by the overall environment of the facility. Not only is community amazing, but the Owner Tyler is by far a person that has had a huge impact on both myself and my girlfriends lives. His approach to fitness may seem a little daunting at first, because it is atypical from other programs you may have tried, but coming from someone who has been into fitness for a long time, his methodology and thought is instrumental in changing lives. I won't get into the nitty gritty of his theory and approach, but take the time to ask him and you will be blown away. Till this day, over a year after leaving, we still talk daily about our time here and how it changed our for the better. CrossFit in general may seem a bit intimidating or crazy for those who have never tried it ( I was one of those people), but Tyler and his staff will actually take you and your goals into consideration and push you ever so gently in the right direction. I personally attest to this five star rating I am giving and would stake my professional career on the fact that if you give 516, the community and Tyler a chance, he will have an impact on your life in a positive way.

For the past 6 years, Crossfit516 has been a huge positive influence in my life. This gym has encouraged me to get off the couch and stay active. I remember getting bored and frustrated with normal gyms, they felt very lonely and discouraging. The coaches at Crossfit516 have always strived to be inclusive to everyone in the classes, and everyone in the gym is very friendly and encouraging to keep working harder. I would definitely recommend giving this gym a shot, you...
