CrossFit NYC — Local services in New York

I've been doing Crossfit for a little over 2 years and the more I do it the more I love it. Of course Crossfit is a great concept and workout in and of itself, but definitely also a big part of my passion for the workout is the gym I do it in. Crossfit NYC is a great box, it's spacious, clean and has an edge all at a the same time. They have the ability to run many classes per day, so you are always able to get to class and the classes are small, allowing the coaches to be more hands on. A lot of work clearly goes into the programming of classes and for anyone who's intimidated by the process, they have specific skills classes such as Olympic Weightlifting and often run "how-to" classes where things are explained clearly and thoroughly. Everyone that works there is truly wonderful, from the people at the front desk, Amber, Sabrina etc to all the Coaches. Every Coach I have taken class from has been extremely professional, knowledgeable and ready to answer any question. They all seem to have eyes in the back of their heads... there isn't a workout that goes by that I don't hear Coach Brian or Coach Avery telling me whether I'm doing something correctly or not, and of course I live for my Coach to say "good job". The community is great, and for someone who's quite a bit older than most people at the gym, I've never felt like I wasn't part of the gang...

I'd say that even after over two years, going to Crossfit NYC is still one of my favorite parts of the day.

This is a great gym if you are a long-time crossfitter or if you are just starting. If you are still thinking about it, go to one of their free intro classes, I did and never...

I have been at crossfit nyc for about a year now and figured it was about time to write a review. Probably best to start from the beginning, when I first moved to the city I knew it was time to get back in shape, I had enjoyed crossfit in highschool, but had gotten away from it in college as focus shifted to weight training/rugby. I dropped in at reebok 5th ave, crossfit hells kitchen, brick and crossfit nyc, of these the only gyms i could see myself at were cfnyc and crossfit hells kitchen, as cfnyc was closer to my apartment I decided this would become my home box. My first class was with Joe and he remains one of my favorite coaches at the gym to this day.

Pros: Very friendly coaching staff (special shout out to Joe, Avery and David), cheapest crossfit gym in nyc, seems to genuinely care about community, lots of members spend time together outside of the box. The coaches have a lot of experience and are highly qualified, a wealth of information if you will. Coaches put in a ton of effort and genuinely want you to improve. Awesome structure to the open. Programming emphasizes both olympic lifting/strength training and metabolic conditioning. Oh and Stacey is awesome.

Cons: Though this is changing even since I began, it still feels like a bit of a beginner box, volume on the regular programming could be a bit higher. Open gym, or at least a post workout strength area similar to those seen at other gyms would allow for longer metcons with supervision during the scheduled class and then independent/optional strength work afterwards. It annoys me you have to...

I've been going to CFNYC for a little over a year and it was my first crossfit experience. I'm sure everyone has specific things that they're looking for in a gym and this one checks off all my boxes. My schedule is unpredictable and I appreciate the frequent classes that start early in the morning and run until the latest class at 830 pm. It lets me get my work out in even if I get out late!

I've appreciated the coaching from everyone and love to pick up new pointers when I don't go to my regulars. The equipment is nice, though it does seem that there's a bit less variety in exercises than some other places I've dropped in. Not a bad thing though because it is certainly still plenty unpredictable, and as always it's nice to have some consistency so you can see those gainz. I do think they do fewer long metcons than some other places, but if that's your jam there's always endurance.

I love the community here too and even though it is a huge box, I feel that when you go enough you find your people and get to know everyone well. I look forward to going every chance I get and would recommend it to anyone, especially those who need the convenience of frequent classes. Not a small intimate place, so if that's important to you probably best to go elsewhere. Pricing is reasonable, especially if you can commit to the 6 months or year. Overall really like the gym and would encourage anyone to come...
