Still a great Crossfit Box (or Gym) with an amazing community of coaches and particpants who really make it fun to workout. Came back in for a 6 week challenge, lost 17 pounds and 5% body fat. Check it out for sure!

Commonwealth CrossFit is great! CrossFit in general is intimidating but the 6 Week Challenge is a great intro. Coaches are focused on teaching the right techniques and moves and are extremely helpful with workout or diet related questions.

Brian is excellent as a trainer, if you have the time I really suggest joining in on the veteran classes for better technique.

Super dirty. No structured warm up or cool down. Most people didn't say hi. Can't say I'd go back.

SIgned up for their 6-week challenge, in mid-August and lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks. Here are some highlights from my experience.Location and equipment: Located on Sommerville ave, 13-minute walk from Porter Square. The gym has a lot of space for movements, and I feel is set up really efficiently to get the best out of the space. Has enough cycling and rowing equipment for cardio. Plenty of barbells and weights for all levels.Classes: There are classes are 1 hour long and start from 5:30 AM, through 6:30 PM most days. The maximum class size is 16 people, but you will mostly find between 8-12 people in the class.Workouts: The workouts are divided between strength/skill and a high-intensity workout at the end. All movements are scalable according to skill, (really helpful for me, who had never done CrossFit and did not know any of the movements). The workouts are generally really fun and I really like the focus on the entire body, and not on any single muscles.Coaches: Shoutout to all the coaches for being Awesome!. All the coaches are really friendly and know their stuff. If they see you struggling (which was more often than not for me), they will come over and have some great tips to make your form better or scale down the movements.Community: The people are really friendly and helpful. They have people of all skill levels, which is really helpful. And have plenty of events like the potluck, group hikes, and Outings.They also help you with nutrition and have great diet plans that have really helped me.All in all, its a great gym for anyone who is new to crossfit or been doing it for 20 years. Definitely worth giving it a shot

Just completed the 6-Week Challenge with Commonwealth as my intro to CrossFit. Getting on-board is turning out to be one of the best decisions I've made for myself in years - helped get me back in the gym, into cooking meals and eating healthier, AND with measurable results (lost over 20 lbs and 6% BF)!As a fitness community, CWCF seems to provide a good balance of structure to adaptability, accountability to autonomy, with an eclectic group of coaches, each of whom bring their unique personality, expertise and style to the group class model. CWCF seems like a welcoming environment for the whole range of body types and abilities.
