I've moved a few times and have been a member at several Crossfit gyms over the past 16 years so I've seen the differences from one box to the next. CF Newton is great. They have great programming and coaches, a welcoming community, and all the equipment you need.

If you are new to fitness or an experienced athlete, CrossFit Newton has a workout for everyone. Gil and the amazing coaches make everyone feel welcome, no matter their ability. I have truly seen a transformation in my strength and stamina. It's refreshing to see the fitness progress in myself and the athletes around me. I've been a member at CFN for around 4 years and I am so proud to be a part of it.

Great coaches modify workouts for all abilities. The programming is thoughtful and builds on your gains from the previous week, strengthening and conditioning all muscle groups. Plenty of class time options to accommodate your schedule. Working out with a supportive community of athletes at Crossfit Newton is the highlight of my day!

If you are reading this review, then you must be thinking about checking out CrossFit Newton (CFN). All I can say is, don't hesitate and let fear get in the way of your fitness. You will not be disappointed at CFN! Whether incorporating fitness into your life is a new journey for you, or you have always been active and are just looking for a new gym, CFN is worth checking out!I joined CFN five years ago because I was looking for a new way to stay fit. I knew going to a big box gym and leaving the workout plan to myself, would not work for me. I knew I would likely just get on the elliptical for 15 minutes, and then figure out a reason why it was time for me to stop.I had never done CrossFit; or really lifted the barbell very much, so I was nervous going in. But one day, I just decided to stop stalling and reached out about the OnRamp, and I have not looked back since.The coaches and the programming at CFN are great! I love knowing that I'll be there for an hour and that someone has a workout planned for me. The workouts are completely scalable for all levels, which means, whether this is your first time doing CrossFit, or you have been doing it for years, the workout will push you.I have never been to another CrossFit gym, so I can't provide a first-hand comparison. I have heard that other gyms emphasize leader boards and posting times and weights. CFN does not do that. The only person you are competing against is yourself. The coaches are there to guide you, and maybe "suggest" that you add some weight, 😊. But in the end, adding more way is completely up to you .CFN is a great community. The coaches and athletes are welcoming and supportive of everyone.Don't hesitate, come check out CFN!

I’ve been coming to CrossFit Newton for about 10 years now. This is hands down the best gym in the area. Whether you have been doing CrossFit for a decade or haven’t taken your first class yet, you should give CFN a try. The program is tailored to your skill level and the coaches always are happy to give tips and tricks of the trade. I am grateful to have met this wonderful community. The owner Gil is a vault of exercise knowledge. Any possible question you could ask, he will have an answer. The program itself is always varied which is unlike some gyms in the area. There is a good mix of weightlifting, cardio, bodybuilding, and of course- classic CrossFit workouts. There is really something for everyone. 10/10!!

I joined CrossFit Newton about 1.5 years ago.What I enjoy most is how the owner (Gil) and the team of coaches have a genuine care for you as an athlete and a human.They meet athletes where they are in their fitness journey and always keep a positive environment. I have seen them scale workouts as appropriate to challenge athletes, but in way they feel comfortable. They have done the same for me. I respect how they practice what they preach and the class sizes are always manageable and never overcrowded.Very happy I found this facility for the workout and the community. I would certainly recommend to athletes of all levels.

I highly recommend this gym for all fitness levels. Gil and the coaches are fantastic with regards to structuring workouts. The coaches will help you with the movements and motivate you regardless of your level. In addition: nice people at this gym and the workouts are programmed for 1 hour. So it is enjoyable to go there and it only takes an hour out of your day.

I have been a member of CFN for over 5 years and am so glad I found this community. Gil and the coaches always have an excellent program set up for the members. On top of this, there are always scaling options for those that may need to do a different movement. Also, the members are kind and supportive of all in the gym no matter what level. If you are looking to improve your health and be a part of a wonderful community than this is the place for you.

I was reluctantly looking for a place to supplement my climbing with some cross training, because I was struggling toimprove due to various climbing injuries. I'm someone who's always disliked group programming but this place has changed me totally. I love the classes and the owner is a true gem, knowledgeable, attentive and a genuinely positive and an encouraging human being. I find myself even going on days I climb, not because I need tocross train, but because I want to. Great community and aplace you will feel at home right away!

Joining the gym 5 years ago was one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made. Being older, I was pretty intimidated by all of the different weight lifting and exercise moves even though I’ve been an active person my whole life, but Gil always includes modifications so that anyone at any level can get a great workout without feeling shamed or less than. The environment is very friendly and casual and everyone feels accepted and supported. Even though I am pushing 60, I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. Drop in for a class and see for yourself! You won’t regret it.
