Coaches are great and spaces are well organized

Dropped in here for a week while in town for work and am super happy to have found a home-away-from-home gym as Im in the city about once a quarter for work. The coaching staff is very friendly and knowledgable and every member is super pleasant and welcoming to drop-ins. Ive tried another CF gym near Midtown and had a very poor experience so I was very relieved to find a community that is welcoming. I ended up buying a one-week membership which is a great deal for folks looking at multiple days of drop-ins. The communication with staff on membership sign-up was timely and the website is easy to use to register for classes. Looking forward to coming back next time!

Very big crossfit space. The trainers are great! Multiple floors and different levels of crossfit people can train at the same time. The bad? They have a policy that where they charge you for putting your membership on hold when on vacation. This is a terrible policy.Update: July 2018. They closed the second level so now the space is entirely on one floor. It is very congested. You spend a lot of time trying not to bump into ppl while trying to do your workout. They also increased the membership rates.

Nice place

Did a 6 month run here a few years, and am now back for about 3 mos. The gym has evolved quite a bit, with a nice variety of programming that isnt all based around heavy weight. Would love a bit more individual instruction, but most of the coaches have a few good tips each session. Also, the Active Recovery class is a hidden gem....really helps not only recovery, but as prep for getting more out of the complex lifts.

Of the CrossFit locations in the city, CrossFit NYC (Black Box) is one of the most fundamentally sound and nerdy about the discipline. The schedule and amount of classes is massive. There are beginner, experienced, endurance, competition and olympic weightlifting classes. Its one of the few places that put an emphasis on rest and recovery as much as they put on strength and intensity.Ive met some of my favorite coaches here. Its an incredibly safe space for people to try out CrossFit.

Crossfit is the best workout if you want to get in shape (obviously combined with healthy diet)I really enjoy coming here, The instructors are great and motivating. Good music that keeps you going.Highly recommended.

Are you accident prone?Because if so this gym is not the right one for youBecause if you get injured here they dont give a ---- about you.I broke my toe here in December of last yearI dropped a 5 lb weight from a squatting press bar onto my big toe.It shattered my toe bone into 4 pieces and caused bleeding for 2 days.Did they follow up to check on me?Despite my gushing tons of blood out of my toe while it swelled up to double its normal size?No.While the front dek rep broke out the medical kit (he was really nice, no fault against him, but it seems that this gym doesnt train its employees on how to treat people dropping weights on themselves) when I told him about my injury, he gasped when he saw my toe and said he had never seen anything like it before.No instruction was given to me to go to urgent care.No one called later that day, or the next, or the next week, to see how I was doing.I had to reach out to management to tell them about my injury.Their response was to offer me a month extension on my membership, despite our being a very serious break of my toe into 4 piecesWhich Im still not 100% healed from.They care not at all about you.Youre anonymous.Youre dollar signs in their bank.And if you get injured, youre tossed.Is this the kind of gym you want to support?

When I joined CrossFit NYC about 7 months ago, I was a blank slate. I never went to the gym (okay, I went 2x in my life and was overwhelmed within 30 seconds of walking in) but I was tired of feeling so weak all the time. I can definitely say that I found my home with CrossFit NYC. From the first Elements class, I LOVED my coaches and the functional movements I was learning. I really cant say enough good things about my coaches...every single coach at CrossFit NYC is so knowledgeable, so nice, and so invested in the members progress. My coach knows how much I lift, how much I should be lifting....and for every one else he teaches as well! Thats just awesome. The best part is that progress is so tangible with CrossFit NYC. I feel stronger and Im lifting heavier...and Im motivated to keep getting better!

Amazing drop in experience. Great music, amazing programming and insane amount of equipment and space! Definitely will be back again soon

Biggest CrossFit gym in the world. Some great coaches and programming. Only complaint is that sometimes people cant get the one on one time needed specially when starting out since the classes are so big and many.

Took foundation classes through a pulsd deal...much of the class was spent explaining proper form vs actually working out. Some instructors were more engaged than others.

I have been doing Crossfit since January 2014. I was scared, anxious, worried. I read all the reviews, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have to say, I have been very pleased and impressed with my experience. 6+lbs lighter, I am more confident (with some usual anxieties that arise, but that is more my personality), pushing myself in ways that used to scare me. And an important word about that, the concept of SCALING DOWN. Where I see people getting hurt is when they compare themselves with others in the box who are working at heavier weights. That was me. The coaches are great at encouraging you to listen to your body, check your ego at the door, and do what you can, not what you think you should be doing. The coaches are great (Michael, Nick, Josh, Kate, Sully are a few I have worked with). The community is great as well. Sign up!

Dropped in without an appointment, they took good care of me.Nice WOD.

Best crossfit gym in flat iron district! Trainers are knowledgeable, gym is superb, extremely flexible schedule.After a few months Im in the best shape of my life! I hope to gain strength and endurance for the rest of my life.Thanks so much!

Ive been going to CrossFit NYC for 3 months and absolutely love it. There are a ton of classes throughout the day with multiple starts time. Classes tend to get full around peak times but if you place yourself on the wait list, you are more than likely to get a spot.Coaches are amazing. I have taken classes with different coaches and they are all great. I recommend Joe, Brian, Chris and Kevin. All are great and bring something different to the class experience.The main location is on 28th street. There are multiple floors with plenty of space an equipment. There is another location on the UWS that is awesome. Its in the basement with new equipment. Last time i was there it was getting renovated but still looked great.Overall its a great BOX with a lot of experienced coaches and great people. You are certain to make new friends.

I got introduced to CrossFit NYC from a friend who has been going there for over a year. He mentioned how great the gym is. I finally gave in and gave it a shot. I have been a member for a month now. I enjoy coming here and look forward to the WOD everyday.

Great drop-in. Warm wellcome, nice crowd, good atmosphere and good coaching. Wods at different levels of experience. Looking foreward to drop-in again!

Been a member for about 1 year and can easily say Ive never been in better shape. Lost weight, gained muscle and have never felt better. Coaches are great and the large amount of classes every day make it easy to find something that fits your schedule. I highly reccomend giving it a shot.

They have been in New York way too long and I trust that they really know the right way to a more healthy body. The moment I got in the Intro class, I know I will be hooked. I can say I am really fit now and my trainer is taking it up to the next level. Try their intro class and be fit and healthy.

After trying out a free intro class, I was hooked. The classes are fun, effective, and able to scale to anyones ability.The coaches are awesome and give great instructions on the exercises and make sure you are working hard.Its the largest Crossfit Box in the city and offers a ton of different time options for classes and by ability level. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to improve their fitness.

I have been going to CrossFit NYC for about a year and half. I have improved so much in my strength as well as overall fitness. The community is great here and I feel right at home.

Im in my sixth month with CrossFit NYC and am overall very happy.Pros:* CrossFit has definitely changed me for the better in many ways* I am really happy with the quality of coaching -- my coach knows my strengths and weaknesses* The gym has a zillion classes a day, which is convenientCons:* The classes can get very crowded, which is not only a hassle, but can also mean you dont get much coaching* You need to book multiple days in advance if you want to go right before work or after work* The showers are ok-ish, but the womens room gets like a jungle sauna

Sir/Mam,You need to claim you business else anyone can steal it on maps. To know to do it reply to my comment.

I loved working out here. The only reason I left was due to a work relocation.

INTENSE! Thats all I gotta say. The people here are fit, in shape, and ready to kick @**. The music is bumping, people are sweating, if you want to be surrounded by others to get you up to a higher gear, this is the place for you.

Amazing box. Happy I got to visit while in NYC

Ive been to a lot of crossfit gyms across the country. This one has a lot of room for improvement. I was really disappointed in my coach. People can get hurt doing the workouts and the coaches here that Ive worked with have little to no interest in correct form, preventing injury and making you better. They also dont always WOD, they tend to do strength classes. Strength is fine but I would like more coach attention on strength days.

Best work out in the city. Be prepared to bring your A game, but expect to see results

Exciting programming combined with great instructors help make this gym my favorite.

Ive been going to CFNYC for a little over a year and it was my first crossfit experience. Im sure everyone has specific things that theyre 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!Ive appreciated the coaching from everyone and love to pick up new pointers when I dont go to my regulars. The equipment is nice, though it does seem that theres a bit less variety in exercises than some other places Ive dropped in. Not a bad thing though because it is certainly still plenty unpredictable, and as always its 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 thats your jam theres 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 thats 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 check it out!

Friendly staff, great coaching. Glad I dropped in!

Gym is ok and was pretty dirty and not well kept. Coach (Sarah) I think was sarcastic, condescending and annoyed she had to be there. During the workout while shes supposed to be instructing Im trying to eat my prosciutto to the other coach after berating him for not helping enough.I would never go back here ever!

Ive 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, its 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 whos 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 isnt a workout that goes by that I dont hear Coach Brian or Coach Avery telling me whether Im doing something correctly or not, and of course I live for my Coach to say good job. The community is great, and for someone whos quite a bit older than most people at the gym, Ive never felt like I wasnt part of the gang...Id 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 looked back.

Great Facilities and great staff. Good rate and perfect workout.

Ive gotten in better shape than ever before going here, and Im always motivated to come because of the good instructors and classes

Drop In: great coaches and equally great members.

Granted I was only here once on a weekend so I would defiintely give this place another shot. Let me start first by saying the facilities are great, with a ton of space and up to date equipment, a welcome sight in the city. The coaching was a little sub par which seemed like s 24 hr fitness trainer took a crossfit Level 1 training course and then was immediately hired but Cfit NYC. We paid a $25 dollar drop in fee which was to be expected and then bought 2 shirts totalling $75 for the drop in. I was staying at the Midtwon Hilton but my friend that lives uptown recommended the gym so i decided to try it despite the hotel gym being available. I called again to see if they would waive the drop in fee and they would not; I get it, its NYC, its expensive but considering i was going to spend $100 for 2 days I might as well have bought the $200 membership. This gym is what i hope crossfit never turns out to be; a gym where they essentially just herd cattle through without the community, (just another globo gym). Granted i only dropped in so i will give this place another try next time i am in town. The facility itself had great bathrooms, rigs, bars, and equipment, i just expected a bit more welcoming and relaxed atmoshphere. My friend uptown loves it so i encourage anyone to try it .

Crossfit NYC: The Black Box is a great Crossfit gym for those who are beginners and/or intermediate CrossFitters.I did Crossfit for two months in a gym where people of all levels were jumbled together. There were some advantages to that, but CrossFit NYC divides the classes into beginners, all levels, and experienced. This allows you to train with people who are at your skill level, which I think is great for those who are just starting or want to learn more about CrossFit.I think both the warm ups and the WODs could be more challenging, but I think CrossFit NYC really tries to make sure you get a great workout without serious injury, which I think is a definite plus. They make sure your form is good, and the trainers are very willing to help you with moves you may have a difficult time with.Overall, I give CrossFit NYC four stars because I think the facilities are clean and great, and the trainers are really good in ensuring that your form is good. They always place form over strength. However, I dont give it the perfect five because I do think they can push a little bit more with the warm ups and the WODs, particularly the ones for beginners and all levels.

My first encounter with CFNYC felt like a thunderbolt. It was a free introductory class that explained the CF philosophy and I IMMEDIATELY understood how it could take my training to the next level. I signed up on the spot.That was approx 10-months ago, and since then Ive been working out at CFNYC 5-6 times/week. Coincidentally, around the same time that I joined CFNYC, I also began taking part in Spartan/CMC/ToughMudder type races. Ive now taken part in four of these outdoor events and the CF training program has been an instrumental part of my training and preparation for these events - the combination of olympic lifting, metabolic-conditioning, muscular strength/endurance training, mobility/flexibility, and speed work, has made a HUGE improvement to my athletic capacity - from strength, to agility, to being able to run faster, climb things faster, jump further and land safely. Things I didnt know I could do.Thank you CFNYC, for helping me discover new things about myself.

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 pay for tape.

One of the originals. Great coaches.

Amazing experience, definitely worth a session

Great box, was very welcome as a guest.

Awesome gym with a great staff!

Such a great box!

Great box with awesome coaches

Il primo Box CrossFit a Newt York

Ridiculously hard, but rewarding.

Great facilities, nice team

Not a member but heard good things

Its fine

Loved my visit

Great workout and instructors

Great Workout!

Get fit.

A box with a nice atmosphere!

Really disastrous business policy: make pay a drop $ 35, despite the purchase of 3 T-shirt, I find it really abused! Impersonal home and complicated registration (my box was sent an email ...). All this for a session where we were 19. Fortunately the coach was very competent, but no atmosphere between members (no Chek at the end of the wod ?!). In short if you only have to do one in NY, choose another!

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed SatanIn the name of of Allah the Merciful(While Moses prayed for rain to his people. We told Strike the stone exploded Twelve eyes have learned all the people Mcherbhm eat and drink of the sustenance of God not mischief in the land spoilers)[Surat Al-Baqarah 60]Quran

Excellent box, very good quality of coach!
