Breakthru boxing is such a blessing! I've been to many different group fitness classes and used to…read moreregularly attend commercial boxing gyms in Boston, but nothing compares to the care and passion that Coach Curtis has. His lessons are deliberate and intentional, designed to build strong foundational skills and understanding. Not only do you get a great workout, but you actually build knowdledge of the sport and some fundamentals of exercise science. Beyond just fitness guidance, he is a positive presence in the lives of his students. Curtis is always holding us accountable throughout the week and encouraging us to be our best selves. The community that he has built is truly special. Highly recommend this gym to anyone who is willing to be challenged and can appreciate a good workout.

I've boxed at several gyms in the area, but my time at Breakthru has been the most fun,…read morechallenging, and fruitful by far. Coach Curtis is great with all levels -- from very beginner to expert. His classes seamlessly combine fitness science with foundational skills so that you not only get a great workout but you learn how to box/kickbox properly. If you're looking for a community, this gym has it; if you're looking to learn how to defend yourself, this gym has it; if you're looking to get a really great workout, this gym has that too. Curtis' pedagogy sets you up for success, and if you put the effort in you will get your return tenfold.

I was a member of CrossFit Shatter in 2024. There are two bathrooms inside the facility. One is…read moreintended for women, and the other for men. Whomever is using it, male or female, standard protocol is to lock the doors when in use at a public facility. Let me take you on a story which includes a gym member named "Creeper" by other gym goers and a management who has failed to protect their female customer base. This story will leave you disappointed whether you have a daughter, sister, wife, or mother. Often times woman battle to be heard or taken seriously when they voice up. They are not believed, or their complaints are viewed as "just complaining", or "they take things too personally." I am voicing up about this to protect the next woman-these predators start out as exposing themselves, and then evolve into physically touching. I attend an evening gym session at Crossfit Shatter. Before the actual group workout, I decide to use the restroom. Upon arriving, the women's restroom door was unlocked and I entered. I observed a young male squatting on top of the toilet with no pants on, exposing his genitals and conveniently facing the door-as if waiting for someone to enter. It was clear he was an "exhibitionist", and waiting for his next female victim. The members were on to something. This was the person they labeled "Creeper". After leaving the facility and calling the location's manager, it was clear he did not deem this situation as alarming. He questioned whether it was even a crime and relayed he cared about the gym's reputation. Most concerning is being told this individual was kicked out from his previous gym. When I realized nothing was going to be done to address this issue, and protect other female members, I asked for my membership to be revoked. It was granted without penalty. I asked other female gym members if they experienced anything with "Creeper". Two of them stated yes. During those incidents he was in the bathroom with the light off, door slightly ajar and he had no shirt on. As if he was testing the waters. Placing a label "Women", "Men" above the bathroom doors does not solve the problem. The bigger issue here is not respecting women and not stopping the victimization.

I've put off writing a review for too long... I think one reason why is because I have so many…read morefeelings about this place... Crossfit Shatter has been the catalyst for one of the most amazing life changes I've ever committed to - making myself and my health a priority in a way that honors health, fitness, and community above just a number on the scale. I started attending Crossfit Shatter last fall, but I made a commitment to regular attendance in January (I can confirm, you get out of crossfit what you put into it). I am so much stronger, healthier, and happier than I was just one year ago. I look forward to going to the gym every time I go and that can be attributed to the great people who teach and attend classes at Shatter. Shane and Lucille have built a gym and a community that is unlike any other. I love going to class. I always sweat, am challenged to improve and constantly amaze myself. I'm doing things I never thought possible. Shatter is now not just "the gym" - it is the place I go to work out aggression after a tough day at the office, it is a place I go to see friends, and it is a place I feel powerful and optimistic about my health and my future. People reading this may think I don't have anything to compare Shatter to, which would be incorrect. I've visited 3 other gyms and, yes, overall crossfit consistently delivers on community, training and support. However, Shatter takes that community and combines it with outstanding technical training, forward thinking programming taking into account athlete weaknesses and strengths, and supportive tight-knit community combined with humor, making Shatter truly something special. Crossfit is difficult no matter what gym you belong to. Stick with it. The way you will grow, learn and develop (at any age or skill level) to become an athelete will amaze you. Shatter will do all that expertly, while also making working out fun!

Made a few appointments and canceled them then finally made an appointment and went in. My appointment was at 10. Seth had told me it would be about an hour. The consultation was interrupted constantly at 11:45 I left but not before I went into his office, he told me about his multiple programs. Spent @ least $500. Was not given a copy of the contract. After thinking about the gym, that by order of the Governor was not supposed to be open had people working out without masks. The next day I told Seth I was not comfortable there because of the lack of safety related to covid. I asked for my money back and he said I could do the program online, that was not what I signed up for. He refused to give me back my money saying it was non-refundable per the contract. I did not get a copy of the contract. It was 1 day after I signed it. I asked if i could get personal training from him but he didn't have time, said it could be with one of his employees.Thought about reporting him to Albany County, didn't because I felt guilty unlike him and his business practices.

He inched his way closer and closer until he was actually vacuuming the same mat she was working on.

The workout facility is beautiful. Spacious. Clean. Great music system. State-of-the-art gym equipment. Walking into the building feels like walking into a fitness commercial. A lot of toned, fit people hard at work totally absorbed doing their own thing to stay healthy and look good. For my orientation--or Kickoff-- I received a free personal training session with a trainer named Trey. He offered really great instruction and observations. I need to do some resistance training. To work towards that goal, Crunch has TRX suspension systems. We worked with them in a Pilates class. The instructor, Diane, was great. She pushed us but we also had a lot of fun. The class consisted mostly of women of varying ages. We agreed it was an awesome workout. Crunch is accessible only from the street level. There is no inside mall entrance to the gym. That appears to be a security measure. Crunch is located in Suite A108 at the mall. There's plenty of parking. The CDTA bus stop is outside and Maggie McFly's Restaurant is next door.There are currently membership sales being offered.
