If you are looking to improve your fitness, overall health, or even remotely considering trying CrossFit - look no further. This gym IS the friendly gym. Fitness is a very serious part of my life for a variety of reasons to include the improvement of my mental health and to protect my physical longevity. Liam, Neil, Ali, and every single member of this facility are not only welcoming but incredibly helpful and supportive. You won’t regret coming in.

Awesome atmosphere, everybody is super friendly, from the coaches to the regulars. Classes are smaller, so the coaches know everyone by name. None of the showboating or judgement you get from chain gyms. Just people who want to enjoy a good workout.

A friendly environment where coaches are very friendly and will make us feel comfortable with every exercise and workouts.

I lost fitness during the pandemic. I lost strength and confidence too. I decided it was time to get fit, get strong and feel better. I’m just starting but I already know I’m in the right place. The coaches have been so incredibly supportive and encouraging, and their positive energy truly makes the gym a welcoming place. The class schedule is flexible, if my knee injury gets in the way of a certain exercise, there’s always an alternative, and I feel like I can finally get into a workout routine again. Thanks CFB!

I have been to a number of CrossFit boxes over the years, and can attest that this is one of the best run ones I have seen. Liam and his team keep the place clean, warm and welcoming, and make sure to pay plenty of attention to each member. Very impressed.

As someone who has ZERO experience in the gym, it was intimidating to reach out for some help. I have just started at CrossFit Bethel, and they have remodeled my perspective on going to the gym as a place that is safe and encouraging. Jimmy is truly a passionate coach and has worked with me one-on-one to ensure I feel comfortable with the equipment and new exercises. All the coaches are phenomenal and definitely represent the brand of "a friendly gym". I look forward to seeing how I grow physically and mentally in this gym.

CFB has created a very inclusive community. They're very welcoming for people of all skill levels and their coaching and programming aligns exactly with the idea that anyone and everyone can be there.

Decided it was time to do a ~30 month membership review. Age wise I'm not any younger (still in the 60+ crowd though) than last time I wrote (2 years ago), but I must admit I do feel a bit 'younger', certainly more healthy. To the chagrin of my chiropractor, CFB has indeed improved my skeletal muscles and the flexibility of my back. Having the option to exercise using the 'Health routine' instead of the 'Performance' routine fits my workout needs quite well. Keep in mind for us, it's only an hour per day 3x per week. I want to be healthy and I'm past the point of wanting a '6 pack' unless it's from a store.... My wife and I enjoy and are motivated by our CrossFit friends/family in class. It is very important to us to have the class coach move around the room to eyeball every person's workout form. Sometimes you think your form is fine and then a coach appears at your side to say, maybe not.... Much rather get the form correct than get hurt! Each coach Liam/Jimmy/Mich and Neil have their own insights and slightly different perspective on the routine of the day and how to accomplish it. Coach rotation is just one of the many benefits of the club. Class size, room size, air circulation and 'music to exercise by' all combine to make us feel as safe as we can in the current environment. Oh, and that saying 'No Pain No Gain', yeah that's CrossFit but thankfully not every workout.. If you are in my cohort, you really do need to use weights and exercise on a regular basis, just taking a daily walk isn't sufficient. How else would my wife's bone density actually improve over a 2 year period? CrossFit works for her and yes, she is in my age cohort. Stop in, see what is going on, get a consult can't hurt can it? Good luck, see you there...
