CrossFit 617 - Dorchester

Cannot vouch for CrossFit 617 enough! I was visiting Boston from Puerto Rico for about a month and a half and needed a box to train at, and am so glad I chose this one. The coaches are incredibly professional and knowledgable, and the gym has an incredible community and vibe to it. Not the mention the programming is also fantastic. I'll absolutely be back when I'm in the Boston area.

When I moved to Boston I was very particular about the type of CrossFit gym that I wanted to join and so I spent a lot of time testing various boxes around the area. After my first drop in class on a Saturday morning at 617 Dorchester I was sold. The team and coaches here are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable and work with each individual to make sure they’re comfortable and challenged. The community is supportive and helpful whether you’re brand new to CrossFit or have done it for years. I feel so lucky to have found 617 and highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Amazing gym! We were members here for a couple of months, but ended up moving out of state and away. We LOVED our time at CF617. The community is warm and welcoming, and the facility is top notch. I will definitely be coming back to visit.

Awesome CrossFit gym! Great coaches, people, and facility. Highly recommend.

If you're trying to choose a CF gym in Boston, 617 is the place to go! They are so inclusive and vibes are great! Definitely makes it feel like everyone belongs there regardless of ability.

The coaching here is the best I’ve ever had since beginning Crossfit 9 years ago, and the facility is beautiful and clean (the photos on this page show the old location. See the website for the new one)

Great local box! Professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and welcoming coaches with a supportive community that motivated me to achieve my training goals and have fun along the way. There is a plethora of equipment, a nice men's locker room space, and even an in house physical therapy studio. Excellent place to start or continue your fitness journey!

Started my CrossFit journey at CrossFit 617 and couldn’t me more grateful that I did. Their fundamentals course eased the learning curve of starting CrossFit. The coaches were very motivating, personable, and knew exactly what they were doing. Classes were tough and worth every second.

CF617 has been a truly amazing experience! If you are looking for a diverse, inclusive community of fitness-minded people, this is your place, no matter what your current level of fitness is.To understand why CF617 is so much better and different than a 'gym", consider the well-known phenomenon of people making New Years' resolutions to get in shape. They join a gym in January and start off strong but most have quit by Spring. Why? They walk into a room with hundreds of pieces of equipment and have no idea where to start, or what to do every day. They fall into a routine of a bit of weight-lifting and then some cardio on a treadmill or bike. BORING. No coaching. No improvement. So they give up.It is TOTALLY different at CF 617. You show up for an hour 3-5 times a week for HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). It is a structured class with an instructor. The instructor guides the class through a routine of warm up, stretching, technique, and then there is usually a strength piece followed by the WOD (workout of the day). Although each class follows the same general format, in 9 months every single class has been different. And every single class builds on the classes that have come before. In each class you may have CF veterans who have been doing it for years mixed in with brand new members. All of the workouts and exercises are "scalable" so that everyone can do them. And before you even start your first group class, everyone goes through Elements: a 1:1 introduction to CF.I am 61 years old, have run the Boston Marathon and played collegiate rugby. 9 months into CF and I am far stronger, fitter and more flexible than I have ever been in my life.The motto of CF617 is "Be Kind. Be Humble. Be Strong". The coaches and the community are incredibly supportive. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

I can't say enough about this gym! I hesitated to join a Crossfit for years having felt intimidated, overwhelmed and not in good enough shape to begin. Pete, his team, and every single coach and member are amazing and beyond encouraging. They've created the culture and community they deserve and genuinely want everyone to succeed.
