Solid little gym to drop into when I was in town. The workout was good and the people were kind, hardworking, and encouraging.

This is the 3rd Crossfit gym I have been a member at. What sets Crossfit Newton apart from the others, is the sense of community, combined with the knowledge and compassion from ownership. Over the six years that I have been a member, I reached goals, both at a skill and strength level, I never thought I could accomplish in my life. For this reason, I continue to set higher goals as I progress.Not only do I feel accomplished physically when leaving the gym, more importantly, my state of mind is in a better place then when I first arrived. Long way of saying, I highly recommend the gym! Member tip (if possible) - try having your first class with Gil. That is not saying there is anything wrong with the other coaches, as all coaches at the gym are great!

I went to 3 drop-in classes with Gil and loved all of them. It was a great workout and a welcoming, supportive, fun community. As a young woman I felt comfortable. Gil was FANTASTIC, spending personalized time understanding my situation, giving helpful advice on ways I could eliminate pain, and guiding me through proper form. Gil's expansive physiological knowledge applied practically made me question the credentials of my physical therapist!

I was hospitalized for 7 days after getting Rhabdo here a few years ago. (It was good up until that point...)Response to owner comments: I had stopped in at the gym and explained what happened in person to you, it's been a long while, so I don't blame you for not remembering. At the time, you did not seem to be making any other accommodations beyond helping me cancel my membership. I did not respond to your emails earlier because I felt it was inappropriate for you to reach out to my work email, which I never provided you with, without giving me even a couple hours to get back to the email you sent to my personal address.

Heaven on earth! Crossfit Newton is a nice community where people of all levels of fitness meet with one common goal-- working out to feel better and get in the best shape they ever been!

CFN is the best! Solid, supportive community, super friendly and high energy, led by the incomparable Gil Cohen. Everyone pushes each other to be their best, but there is no real pressure, and there are no hardos. All age groups and abilities are welcome. The coaches are committed and knowledgeable and take time to work with everyone individually. The focus is on form and flexibility and mobility and, above all, safety. I've been going for five years and I've never gotten injured. Give me another five years with CFN and I am confident that I will win Olympic gold in virtually every category, summer and winter.

New member here, joined in Sept. '22. As a 40-something jumping into CrossFit coming back from some health issues and downtime post-Covid I had my doubts about how it might work out, despite having CrossFit and CFN recommended to me.I can tell you that it has been a great experience so far. The coaches and community have been very supportive and helpful. I am enjoying the workouts and results are starting to take shape. Most importantly I have been encouraged to advance my skills and fitness while never feeling pressured to go too hard.CFN is fun and the people that go there are universally positive. Looking forward to additional fun and progress in '23!

Gret community, great coach - Gil is awesome and made me feel very welcome from day one. I appreciate the low key come as you are, unpretentious vibe this little hidden gym has. Good programming with accommodation and pace for all levels. Gil is definitely focused on building skills and strength at your own pace and is very encouraging which has helped me build more confidence in my ability to execute many of the lifts.
