I love this gym!! The classes are amazing and will push you out of your comfort zone to get you to your strongest self. Each class offers something different which means changing up the routine and making your body grow and adapt. The coaches are encouraging and knowledgeable and will help you with modifications if/when needed. Can’t say enough positive things about this gym and all the coaches.

The people at Steel Fox know what they are doing and can help you no matter what your current fitness level. They are knowledgeable about injuries and limitations and can make anyone stronger and more fit. My results (middle age woman) are fabulous after a relatively short time. Bottom line, improving your health and wellbeing is the Steel Fox teams goal. Definitely check it out! (Ive been doing remote for 9 months - they will work with your comfort level).

Such a phenomenal environment where you can experience quality training alongside lively and friendly members. The structure of the classes are set up in such a way that you will leave feeling tired yet accomplished; the coaches push you just the extra step. This gym is now more than ever the perfect place to go as there is ample space to feel safe while working out and the class sizes allow for more than six feet of separation and also allow for everyone to use equipment without having to share for the duration of the class.

No free pizza Fridays, no bagel breakfasts, no frills, and no judgment. Steel Fox is the classic box with free weights, class instruction, and open gym hours. I come in to work on the stuff that I need to work on during open gym, and then I come for classes when Im not on my bike or on the water. The staff let me do my own thing when I want to, and they provide instruction and classes when I want to do that. During class, I can vary how hard I want to work out by the scaling of weights. When I first joined, I did light weights. Each month, I can add a little more.

I have been going here for quite some time. Really great programming. New sets of exercises every day will never get boring and you see yourself progressing constantly. Coaches always helping with the form and scaling.Coach Rita went out and beyond to adjust to new COVID rules and to accomodate wishes of members to make it safe and comfortable for everyone.This is the best gym I ever been to.

I love this place so much, they are so friendly and welcoming. The trainers are amazing and they really take care of you. My body has changed so much, I train 3 times a week and I never get bored during these classes, they always change the workout and make it fun. I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely love this place! Great trainers and programs to suit all fitness levels. Every day is a different workout, which is challenging and never gets boring. Can’t wait to be back in fall!Rita’s passion, hard work and entrepreneurship is very inspiring to me personally. She works very hard and truly loves helping people achieve their goals.

Ive been going to Steel Fox for 18 months and I love it. I do the small-group Steel Fit classes twice a week. Its a great, high-intensity, but highly supportive strength training workout to supplement the running and biking I do other days. Ive gotten much stronger and fitter than I ever did training on my own. Rita and her team are the best in the business!

So I just started CrossFit a little over 5 weeks ago and have already seen incredible improvements. The coaches are all extremely supportive and help you perfect your form to make sure you are getting the most out of every workout. It is a real community and Coach Rita is an amazing coach that helps every individual work towards reaching their full potential. All around, joining CrossFit has enabled me to get the best out of my workouts and given me the confidence to finish everything I start. Thanks Steel-Fox coaches and community!!!

I find it refreshing to have a coaching team who enjoy working together and care so much about the work they do and the quality of coaching they provide to each member.The coaches do an excellent job making sure ALL members get in a great workout, no matter what the fitness or experience level is. They offer excellent group mobility and warm-ups to start and end classes, with some of the best instruction on technique for some of the more complicated CrossFit lifts.You are treated like family, not a stranger! I have met so many nice people along the way, and I hope to meet more.

I was nervous starting Steel Fit (small group classes) at Steel Fox but its been an amazing learning experience. I was new to weight lifting and trying to get back into shape but the trainers (Rita & Ryan) are so great at explaining everything and finding the right weights to challenge you. All the other members of the class have been welcoming and encouraging. Youre just competing with yourself so no one is judging what you can and cant do. I would recommend it to anyone who needs that extra attention to get them to commit to something like I do.

I have been attending Steel Fox for just over a month now for personal training and absolutely LOVE it here! He trainers are friendly and full of energy! The gym is clean, organized, and more equipment that I have ever seen in one gym. Every workout is different each time keeping me on my feet and to learn new things every time. It is a good mix of both male and female clientele so I felt very comfortable using this gym to work out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking it out!

Great place to work out!! Really fun energetic staff and overall friendly environment. New to the area and immediately made me feel apart of the community from day one. The work out will give you a nice sweet and help you progress your overall fitness no matter what level you are at.

In three months at steel fox I’ve gotten stronger and feel better and more fit than I ever have. I do the steel fit classes and find them challenging but fun. Rita is a great coach- encouraging, makes sure that you are doing the workout correctly, and pushes you beyond what you think you are capable of. I highly recommend this gym!

Review №21

Theres a LOT to love about this gym! I firmly believe that CrossFit Coaches Create Cultures, and so huge props to Rita for the overall great vibe I experienced at Steel Fox. The crew of a dozen or so at the 7 a.m. I dropped-in for welcomed me with open arms, and as the class progressed I became more and more impressed with the degree to which everyone was so mutually supportive. Rita circulated continuously, offering advice and encouragement to all, and as people finished their own workouts, their focus seamlessly mirrored Ritas -- being supportive and encouraging to those still working. The gym itself is immaculate, and well-equipped with all the necessary CF toys. Beyond that, each of the two washrooms has a shower, and each room has a stack of fresh, plush towels --- further proof of how highly the athletes are regarded. Final thought is that few CF boxes are as easy to get to as is Steel Fox. From 95/128, its onto the Middlesex Turnpike and then less than two minutes to the gym. Final-final thought is the motto/slogan for Steel Fox: Be Strong, Be Clever. YES!

I have been a member at Steel Fox for 2 years now and it is the best part of my day! Its a fantastic community and the coaches are really the best. I only take the crossfit classes so I cannot speak to the steel fit classes, but the programming of the classes is great. The programming is smart, safe, and has pushed me to be my best.

Steel Fox Crossfit is the BEST in the area, the coaching, programming are first rate! I have been doing cross-fit for over 10 years and truly found a home at Steel Fox- the community is amazing and very supportive! If you are not a traditional cross-fitter still come check out Steel Fox as they other programs like Steel Fox which is less barbell based but still an amazing workout. Coach Rita is caring and will help you reach your goals !

Great gym! Ive been going to Steelfox for a little over a year now and could not be happier with my choice. Its the perfect gym if you work in the Burlington area. I am able to come in the mornings before work and get a good workout in to start my day. Great coaches and great members!

Rita and Melissa are wonderful coaches!! I have been afraid to do lunges 3 years post knee surgery. These two amazing coaches have me lunging again which has been a fitness goal of mine for quite some time! Rita is very knowledgeable and motivating. Her programming is by far, the best! Thank you Rita and Melissa, you are the best!!!!! I highly recommend this box!

Steel fit - small group fitness classes with indivdualized attention, nutrition counseling and setting overall health goals with the structure to implement the plan. Rita ( and all the coaches) are dedicated and present with a genuine desire for clients to transform and improve fitness and health. I love it here!

Rita is an inspiring and hard working coach. She is wonderful at tailoring a workout to your needs, but also pushes you when she knows you can do more. I loved taking advantage of her Steel Fit classes where we had a small group that worked hard and supported one another. I have definitely learned a lot about my body and what it can do and feel stronger and healthier as a result of these classes and with Ritas support.

Review №33

Ritas gym is not your average crossfit gym. There is lots of room, lots of equipment and there are 2 spacious and clean bathrooms with showers, towels and soap (so you can clean up and go back to work if necessary). The place has a nice womans touch. But most importantly Rita is an outstanding fitness AND nutrition coach. I have been working out with Rita for almost 2 years and I know it sounds cliche, but I feel as though I am in the best shape of my life thanks to her. Join this place, you will love it. If you commit to her program, it will change your life.

Review №34

From my initial meeting with Rita it was evident that this place was and is the place to be. Her intricate knowledge of fitness and the fact that she is the embodiment of what she preaches makes it very easy to get on board. The atmosphere of this gym is unique, it has a CrossFit community look but is such an open and welcoming place that it’s almost confusing. Once you start here you won’t go elsewhere.

When I walked into Steel Fox with my friends, I immediately knew something was different than other gyms. If you knew me before my journey, you would know my favorite donation of choice every year was to a gym membership I rarely used. I was too tired or wasnt feeling motivated since the gym communities I was apart of before were very independent and I was left to figure out how to do workouts on my own. Hearing nothing but positive things about CrossFit, seeing amazing progress and being encouraged to try out Steel Fox from my friend got me interested in seriously considering to finally follow through my every year New Years resolution: To lose weight.Starting my journey at Steel-Fit I felt welcomed and felt heard, and never felt alone. The smaller classes helped me get over my insecurities of working out in front of other people and Rita helped me set goals and shared her nutrition knowledge so that I can set myself up for success. Looking back now, signing up for my first three-month membership changed my life for the better and I am excited to see where I am months from now. With the constant coaching and support I receive every class, and the nutrition knowledge I gained, I feel like Ive made significant progress and have noticed differences in my everyday life.The SteelFit community is so encouraging and welcoming and I couldnt be more happy to be apart of it! Rita and her team do amazing work and have given me a space that has changed my life.

I attended my first cross fit class ever here and it was amazing! I honestly could not be more happy with my experience! I was super nervous but from the beginning Shea and the trainer Nikki were able to calm my nerves and Nikki was super friendly and helpful throughout the class. She walked me through everything. Not to mention it was an amazing workout! Everyone needs to give it a try!

I had the hardest time finding time to go to the gym and stick with it. I started going to Steelfox in July 2015 and was quickly in love and found myself going 4-5 days a week! I was impressed and motivated by Rita and her staff. I love the small class sizes and the special attention she is able to give to each member. Absolutely the best gym!!!

I was new to crossfit and wasnt sure what to expect, but I am extremely happy that I decided to join Steel Fox. I needed a lot of attention due to my bad posture, and despite being in larger classes Rita still found time to address my needs. Unfortunately, I moved out of Massachusetts, but Im certain that next time Im in town I will be stopping by the gym! Thanks so much to Rita and the team!

These coaches are top notch. After being out of the crossfit game for a bit, I joined Steel Fox looking to get back into shape. Theyve helped me not only do this, but reach new goals as well, and even hit some PRs. Furthermore, Steel Fox is a positive and fun community with great people. Definitely glad I decided to join.

Review №47

A small gym that makes a big difference. Steel Fox offers Crossfit, private training, open gym, and Steel Fit - a small group training program thats changed my life and health for the better.When I joined 2 years ago, I was recovering from a lingering neck injury (car accident) and all around lack of fitness. I could barely get through a 1-hr session. All the trainers, especially Rita, kept my form safe and strong. The esprit de corps of the group workout kept me motivated. Rita encourages a smart, healthy nutrition plan. Ive lost 25 lbs and gained muscle - something thats supposedly impossible for women over 45.Steel Fox has a diverse and friendly membership, from beginners to hard core competitors. This gym is the real deal.

Crossfit Steel Fox is a great community that is very welcoming to all. Rita is extremely passionate gym owner. She and the coaches will always make sure you are performing movements correctly to prevent injury and work with you to achieve any goals you may have. She is also very knowledgeable in nutrition so you can see results! I recommend this gym to people who want to try Crossfit as well as veterans. The facility is clean, has new equipment, plenty of space and showers. If you are looking for a positive community, full of people who are getting better everyday- this gym is for you! Take advantage of the free trial class today!

Im a regular at Steel Fox since Dec 2016. Lost over 50 pounds and got into a best shape of my life. The gym is clean and functional - I prefer it to big gyms like BSC and Lifetime, where you inevitably have to wait for your turn and could forget about doing supersets efficiently.Rita is doing a great job as a manager and as a coach - go see her if you want to get results!

Review №57

I first started crossfit a little more than a year ago. I went intermittently because I never felt challenged or encouraged until I started with Rita at steel fox last fall. Since then Ive seen myself change and develop in ways I never imagined. Ive had 50+ pound gains in all of my lifts, and I now have the ability to complete movements I never thought I would be able to and it is all thanks to Rita and steel fox crossfit. If youre willing to put in the time and want to see yourself become a greater athlete, or just get in better shape, this is the place to be. Its amazing to be a part of a community that cares and works hard together to accomplish their goals, with the coaches that care and are able to get you there.

Steelfox offers two very effective programs for strength and fitness. Having been a member for coming up three years, I participate in both CrossFit and the more tailored, smaller-class SteelFit training and can recommend both without hesitation. Owner Rita and all the coaches work to ensure that the workouts vary widely, thus maintaining interest and efficiency, are always organized and explained. They also are very open to the need to as necessary modify ones workout, e.g. to deal with a strain or prevent injury. The allied nutrition programs are also an important feature. Having participated once and lost 15lb, I have since maintained a very stable weight. All in all, for me as a senior who believes in the importance and benefits of fitness, this a very worthwhile investment in my health, giving me the ability to go out and tackle all those other strenuous activities that are available in New England!

Review №66

Steel Fox has amazing members, encouraging coaches, and a great facility.The member community has kept me here for nearly 3 years. They are welcoming to drop ins, and uplift each other during workouts. When I travel, and do a WOD alone in a hotel gym, my performance drops because I dont have the friendly social camraderie. The community is what keeps me coming, and has a large part in my enormous performance improvements. If youre looking for an overly bro-y culture, look elsewhere. This is mostly 30-40 year olds who are bored of more vanilla type workouts.The coaches are encouraging and fun. Somehow, they bring energy even at 5:30am. They help make sure your form is on point, and are always helping you to get stronger, leaner, & faster.The facility has showers, is clean, and has a ton of equipment. This enables the coaches to add fun tasks to the programing including tire flips, parallette bar work, peg boards, and rope climbing.In my time at Steel Fox Ive gotten much stronger (+ 90 lbs squat), faster (-2:10 mile time), and leaner (-25 lbs, -8% body fat).

Review №67

This gym is much more than a Crossfit gym. Rita, head coach and owner, offers personalized training and nutritional programming as well Crossfit programming. There is a small group, strength and conditioning program that she offers as well. So if Crossfit is not your thing or need you need to work on mobility and strength, SteelFox has you covered. The coaches at the gym are awesome; friendly, knowledgeable and focused, making sure your technique is proper and taking you to the next level. Swing by and see for yourself! What a great community to be part of.

This is an excellent gym in every way! It has lots of space to move around, good equipment (well-taken care of and not falling apart), and wonderful coaching. Coaches Rita and Dana are the best -- they are very attentive in making sure you are doing the movements correctly which has helped me set lots of new PRs since I started going here. The classes are small, and the people are friendly and encouraging. This place is great if you are just starting Crossfit or if youve been doing WODs for a while. I highly recommend it.

I felt that the owner Rita was very dishonest at the beginning off my 3 month membership. Didnt honor my Groupon Gift Certificate that she put out on Groupon, gave me every excuse how she was going to honor it, at the end she told me to go through Groupon to get my money back. Wasnt happy with that. I just didnt feel she was professional, talking about clients to other clients...thats when I left . Her coaches on the other hand GREAT!!
