CrossFit East River — Local services in New York

I can't tell you how much I loved Beast River while I was a member there for 5+ years. Beast River is a lovely community, where the members & staff are friendly and genuinely care about one another. It's a real 'locals' gym where people know your name and will say hi when you run into them in the streets. It's one of the reasons I stayed living in the neighborhood for so long.

I never thought I’d love class-based workouts until I joined BR. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. The gym has great equipment, and belts available to help you get that PR 💪, and the tight-knit community is what will keep you coming back! BR is a fun, inclusive environment. Can’t recommend this...
