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.

If you are looking for a fun social distant group fitness class, I highly recommend checking out Crossfit Commonwealth. Commonwealth has done a fantastic job ensuring their athletes feel safe and comfortable while having fun & getting in a great workout!Classes are currently defaulting to outside, and adhere to all MA Covid requirements. Equipment is diligently cleaned between classes, and coaches wear masks in an effort to keep both them & their athletes safe.Programming is written keeping in mind class size (cap is currently 10) to ensure each athlete has their own equipment and doesn't need to share.

I recently completed my first 6-Week Challenge through Commonwealth CrossFit, and can say wholeheartedly that I had an awesome experience – not only did I learn the foundational skills to safely lift heavier weight while significantly increasing my overall fitness level, but I also found a supportive and fun fitness community in my neighborhood that gets me genuinely excited about working out.Brian, the owner of Commonwealth, was very helpful to me in explaining up front what to expect as a participant in the Challenge, in addition to taking me through some of the basic elements of CrossFit over the phone (I had never stepped foot in a Box prior to signing up at Commonwealth).James and Nicole, in addition to all of the other coaches I met during the Challenge, were amazing to work with throughout my first 2 weeks of On-Ramp classes and beyond, always going out of their way to review form with me, demonstrate new movements, or help me complete even the most challenging WODs.I’m excited to now be a member of the Commonwealth community, and look forward to continuing to master the fundamentals of CrossFit. If you had asked me six weeks ago whether I’d ever be able to do a handstand push up, I would have told you absolutely not – now, even though I have a lot of training to do before I get there, I’d tell you that guidance from top-notch coaches, a supportive workout community, and hard work can move anything into the realm of possibility.

Great box! Was visiting from Madrid for a week, and the people welcomed me as one more. Good facilities, easy to find, nice people, and all you can ask from a crossfit box! Will join this one if I ever come live in the area. Keep up the good work!

What a great gym! The coaching was very thorough, people were welcoming, it had nice equipment, the gym was clean, and the drop-in fee was super reasonable. I was there for a week and already felt like I was part of the community! If/when I am back in Boston, I will definitely be returning to Commonwealth.
