I joined this gym about a year and a half ago. It has kept me engaged, motivated, and working towards better fitness in all ways, strength, cardio, flexibility. Coaches are great and help you learn how to do the movements propertly. The other gym members are so supportive, no matter what your fitness level. I've not kept with any fitness program before this. I started as a fat tub of goo and now I'm a less fat tub of goo, but trending in the right direction and motivated to keep coming!

I dropped into commonwealth for a lift off event and I really enjoyed it! The community was amazing and really welcoming. However, I got really excited about matching a Snatch PR after not doing crossfit for a year so I slammed the bar down. Which I've done at a lot of crossfit gyms, with coaches not saying anything about it. After all, we're lifting and pumping each other up! One of the owners told me to cut it out, which all of the members around me were confused by. They said this has never been a rule at all. So that really rubbed me the wrong way. Especially because none of these rules were spelled out at all. Rogue barbells are meant to withstand 600 + lbs, so they can definitely handle my mediocre lifts haha.The OTHER gym owner (and I think the head coach?) was really amazing. He was really welcoming and gave me some great pointers.I would say that I'm rating a very specific experience. I would still suggest going to this gym for the environment and the community. But in my opinion, one of the owners needs to be a bit more clear with the gym rules (that seem to be just in his mind..?) and maybe just chill out a bit.

I've been going here for like 7 years! I feel like they really care about having a great community of people who care. During the shutdown, they lent out all their equipment to members, which I really appreciated. I feel like I was coached to scale appropriately but also pushed to improve. Before coming here I never would have thought that I would be able to do pull-ups. I have never been injured doing CrossFit but have been able to do it through multiple injuries (that I got from playing ultimate frisbee smh). Love this place.
