CrossFit Gantry — Local services in New York

As one of the members that is older in age, I wanted to share my story a bit. My kids literally grew up at this gym in the kid’s classes then the teen classes and now they take regular adult classes and one of them is a CrossFit coach. You would’ve thought I would have joined long ago, but I didn’t. Every time I walked in and saw the workouts I was completely intimidated. Fast forward to the pandemic, my husband and I decided it was time to take care of ourselves and we started workouts in the park with one of the coaches, then moved to private lessons until the coach moved away and we started the regular classes. The idea of taking a regular class was a bit scary for me but I went with it and have never looked back

The gym: is a large space, equipment is always organized and properly put away. They have always taken pride in keeping the gym looking good and clean, there is cleaning supplies to wipe down your equipment.

The staff is amazing they are all patient, knowledgeable, and always, supportive. The workouts are different every day, so they wake up muscles you never knew you had. The coaches walk around during the work out to make sure everyone is doing the movements correctly, to avoid injury. The coaches are your biggest cheerleaders and motivators.

The gym community is well, just amazing, everyone pushes each other, we cheer each other on and help each other when needed. The comradery at this gym is shown daily. There are also get togethers, which are fun because you can catch up with fellow members but meet people that go at different times/days.

And yes, it looks intimidating and it’s hard. But it’s also so rewarding and I have never felt this good before. There are scaling options for every exercise, trust me I know, I have tried every scaling option there is..LOL

Since starting the regular classes, we have made it a family affair, my husband, my two boys, my sister-in-law and I all are taking classes.

So, stop by, take a class, or just sit and watch a class. But most importantly join this...

Crossfit Gantry is a great place to work out. I joined them a couple of months ago and everybody made me feel part of the family. From the prep course to the daily workouts, all the coaches have been great. They push you and motivate you, always making sure that you do the exercises in the correct way. Someone said kids are what their parents are. Well, this couldn't be more applicable to Crossfit Gantry. All the people here are very welcoming and the "seniors" (crossfit speaking) are always ready to help you, give advises, and motivate you. Aside from the people, this is a great box! It's pretty big and the equipment is all new (if you look at their instagram you will see that they keep renewing and buying new equipment). This being said, this is my first crossfit experience (so I don't know if crossfit boxes are all like this), but this is the first gym where nobody is trying to convince me to sign off annual contracts, selling me stuff or things like that. The owner is one of the coaches, and the only thing he cares about is that you workout properly, enjoy it, and you're part of the community. I totally suggest this box! Note: for those of you who have been into crossfit for longer, look at the resume of the coaches on their website, and you'll have a better idea...

My second year visiting New York. I finally get to check out CrossFit gyms. 5 stars, 5 smiles, 5 fist bumps and some love. The members here are friendly. The cheer you on and while suffering tell you stay strong. Amazing people. I was so grateful they were not clicky and they did not make you feel as if you was bothering them. I felt very felt very comfortable and at ease. Everyone knows walking into CrossFit no matter how long you have been in the game. It can be intimidating. Thank you for making my visit nice and smooth. The coach was amazing and so full of energy. He started the good vibes of friendliness, helpfulness, and comfort. The member added the icing on the cake. I only went to one other gym while visiting. The other one (I won’t name because you may get a better experience) has nothing on how great CF Gentry made my first impression and experience just wonderful. I will not looking into checking out different ones. I will always come back here....
