What a place. As someone who has worked out for sometime, I need the push for my body to go to the next level. I’ve always wanted to be part of a CrossFit gym. And being at Carozza, I’ve found home. The aptitude of every instructor to run a class is superior. There is such focus on making each individual athlete better. In my first 60 days, I’ve leaned out, and toned up. And improved my biggest problem, form. The transformation has been amazing. There is never a ‘can’t do it day’. This gym is for everyone. They will work with you to make you better, and really show you how to properly workout. If you want results, Carozza brings them.

I first tried Carozza when I relocated jobs from a Westchester County and I am SO happy I stumbled across this place!!I love the gym layout, it’s a huge open space and it has everything you can possibly need ... no matter if your trying to just work out, do CrossFit or following a private training programming.Mike , the owner , is AWESOME as well. He me very accessible, friendly and knowledgeable on anything workout related. He is ALWAYS in the gym , so if you have any questions about a work out, technique or programming questions he is always there for you. And it also helps that he has a very likable personality and good humor :)Mike is very hands on and knows all his members, he is one of the best gym owners I have met.Sometimes if he has to run out of the gym for a errand , I can always text him any workout related questions and he gets back to me instantly.The gym is located in a school bus/construction warehouse type location but don’t let that throw you off ! It’s awesome inside :)My job got transferred back to NY last year, and I tried other gyms close to me, but the layout of the gym , Mikes hands on approach and the programming is what made new rejoin and drive a little out of my way up to Stamford !And someone below commented about the bathrooms ? It’s a awesome gym , CrossFit gym, that gets RESULTS. If you want fancy bathrooms and fluffy bs, join Equinox.

Couldnt have asked for a better first CrossFit experience!!! Mike & the crew at CF always run high-energy and intense classes. No matter what level or experience you have, they are incredibly encouraging and push you to be the best version of yourself. Open hours with plenty of equipment are also a huge plus.Mike and CF have built a great community and continue to do so. Im torn that Ill have to part ways during the school year. Im already counting down the days until I can come back for another CrossFit class!

Carozza Fitness is great. They have professional coaches that help me get in better shape. The coaches explain the movements every class by showing how to do them and how not to do them. The workouts are varied, challenging, and fun. They have a convenient class schedule for mornings, evenings, and weekends, but they also make the gym available almost all day so I can workout by myself if I cannot make a class. Carozza is a great gym all around.

No Excuses, Just Results. Thats the MOTTO at Carozza Fitness. And when you walk in and see guys tossing 75 lb Kegs, girls pushing sleds loaded with 45lb plates, its obvious the motto holds true. Plenty of space, lots of rare equipment and exercise (My favorite is the sledge hammer and tire flip) This is Stamfords hidden encampment of high level training!!!

Before Carozza I had been trying to get back into a normal routine at my regular gym, unsuccessfully. I had no motivation or discipline and I struggled to put a decent workout together.With Carozza I am now excited to workout! I am always challenged by the workouts and they are never boring. I don’t have to think about what I’m doing for the day. I just have to show up and give my best. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. The best part is you’re never working out alone! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and personable- two of them being the owner, Michael Carozza and his sister Danielle!I highly recommend Carozza Fitness. It’s not just a gym. It’s a community. I’m about a month in and I already feel like I have a second home with CF.Thanks Michael, Danielle and Dave!

I walked into Carozza Fitness gym around a year ago. CrossFit was always something I wanted to try/learn but was never sure Im capable and if I would fit in. Since the first class, I received loads of help, advices, encouragement and motivation not only from the couches but also community. Never once, I felt intimidated or discoursed by anyone at the gym, the vibe and sense of community made me in fact extremely motivated and kicked me to try harder and face my own fears. It quickly became my to go place and I must say singing up and committing for one year membership was one of the most rewarding decisions I have made. CF improved my fitness ability, physical shape, confidence and made me feel better In my own body than ever before. It also thought me discipline, determination and patience, that had huge impact in different parts of my everyday life, not only fitness. I couldnt say enough amazing things about the couches. Michael, Ryan, Danielle and Kate are extremely knowledgeable and devoted, their determination, attitude and willingness to help and push us to do better inspires me every day. Before I signed up to Carozza I was under impression CrossFit is only for certain people that like lifting weights, now Im definitely convinced crossfit is for everyone regardless of age or fitness ability. The schedule is extensive, there is variety of classes offered at different times to accommodate everyones needs. Singing up/reserving process is professional and easy. The gym is very well equipped located in huge warehouse where social distancing and personal space is never a problem, gym is always spotless clean. Definitely the place to be and workout!

“….unparalleled highly interactive virtual training….”During COVID I made a commitment to improve my physical wellbeing, and exercising at my home with Mike’s virtually coaching, was one of the best self investments I made.Thanks to Mike’s well-established profession, exceptional interpersonal skills and ability to relate to others, he repeatedly brings forth unparalleled highly interactive virtual training.It is clear to me that Mike’s passion to help others is what strives Carozza Fitness success, and makes him second to none coach and the leader in the fitness industry.Living out of state, and haven’t met Mike in person, I am impress by his talent to motivate and inspire me during our virtual trainings, and can only imagine its magneto in-person. His powerful authentic demeaner make him a great role model and coach for young athletes, and I am grateful for having him coaching my 16 year-old son.No matter your age or the size of your fitness goals, you want to be train with the best, and Mike and his team overdelivers what is needed to reach your desire destination.Hats off Carozza Fitness team !

I will be completely honest. I bought a Carozza Fitness Groupon out of sheer curiosity. Let’s face it. People that do crossfit, love telling people that they do crossfit. So after maybe the 50th time of hearing how great it was from a friend, I bought one. I have always loved cardio, so going into my first crossfit class, I was apprehensive to say the least. The workout was different from anything I had ever done before. And while I was completely intimidated during the hour long class, people were friendly. Mike, the owner, was helpful and patient. I left the class still unsure about whether this was something I could get into. I thanked Mike, and explained to him that I didn’t think it was for me. I didn’t have the body type for crossfit, and didn’t want to get huge muscles like the pictures I had seen. He laughed and told me I should come a few times a week, and give it another chance, and that people with all different body types do crossfit. I’m glad I took his advice, because he was right. As a fitness misfit, I can say wholeheartedly that for me personally, I have seen better results than any other workout I have ever done. I have been there for a year and a half and feel stronger than ever. I have struggled with an unhealthy body image for most of my life, and while I am so happy with the physical changes in my body from the crossfit program, I’m most proud of the confidence I have gained from it. I can’t say enough great things about Carozza Fitness. People are friendly, the coaches are helpful and accommodating, and once you get over the fear of trying something new, it’s a lot of fun!

Mike and his staff are the best. Great facility. Great coaches. Workouts that challenge all levels. The community is second to none. I came to workout but have stayed because of people. I have never felt more at home than I do when I walk through the doors at Carozza Fitness.

If you’re serious about fitness, this is the place to come. Mike is encouraging and positive and works with everyone from beginners to cross fit veterans. I’m healthier, I’m stronger, aches and pains are mostly a thing of the past and I can work out with my (fit) adult children. We’ve all heard “no pain no gain”...you’ll work hard but the results are tangible. As Mike says, “no excuses, just results.”

Whoever drives the Jeep wrangler with the company logos really need to learn to not cut people and drive so aggressively... Especially in a car with the company name on it.

Carozza Fitness is a fun gym for athletes of all ages and abilities. They offer a variety of classes each day so there is truly something for every level athlete. The space is amazing, with plenty of room and equipment for even the larger group classes. The coaching staff is knowledgeable and supportive in helping every member evolve towards their fitness goals whatever those might be in a fun, motivating, positive atmosphere!

Incredibly friendly and knowledgable trainers and staff, they’re always willing to give you personal help even during a class. Clear and concise posted workouts, ample floor space, and always plenty of equipment. Their app makes planning your workouts very easy.After 3 months I’ve seen more improvement in strength and stamina than a year in a chain gym.Would and have recommend to others.

I’m very excited but also nervous at the same time to begin this journey. This is my 2nd week and so far every workout has been challenging and exhausting. However, I know I need to do this to get to the next level. The coaches are all helpful and motivated to get you thru the workouts. I can’t wait to see what I can accomplish.

Excellent CrossFit facility in Stamford, CT. Excellent Instructors & Results! Expect to move and be ready to workout. Mike is the best! He recommended an app to count calories and like most of their Certified Instructors they are always available for advice. My favorite exercises were rowing at 5:00 AM YES 5 AM. Wall climbs and wall walks including running outside. Lockers available onsite with plenty of parking and good music selection to boot.

Carozza Fitness / Crossfit Rippowam is the best gym (scuse me, box) around. Some crossfit gyms have limited class times or focus too much on one sort of class. Not Carozza. There are crossfit classes, Just Results (same movements, lighter weights, higher reps, typically longer), Just results ROW (add in C2 row ergs), yoga, and mobility. There are also plenty of cardio machines, and theres lots of time for open hours if you want to do your own thing. Coaches are all fantastic--Mike, Danielle, Dan, Dave (there are others, but those are the ones for the classes I go to)--theyre very focused on proper form and pushing you to do a little bit more than you think you can. The facility is great--big, open floor, locker rooms, lounge area. You can get Kettlebell Kitchen meals delivered there. On top of all that, Mike is always interested in helping in the community. I brought my Cub Scouts to CF one day to do a badge on fitness. While other scouts were doing some outdated compilation of situps and pushups, our boys were doing a 7 minute AMRAP WOD, complete with burpees and sled pushes. I asked for a donation for my other sons high school rugby team fundraiser, and Mike didnt flinch. I asked, and hes putting together a class for my older sons Boy Scout group who will be training for a 100 mile backpacking trip in New Mexico next summer. You cant ask for better customer service. The rates for this gym are definitely fair--perhaps even a bit lower than other crossfit gyms (I have the annual membership, which brings the monthly cost well below other gyms in the area). Come on in, you wont be sorry!
