Gymnasia is the best gym I've ever been to, hands down. Before becoming a member, I tried various…read moreother fitness fads, and none of them truly worked. I was literally spinning in circles at choreographed spin classes with no results. I tried barre classes where I never felt myself getting stronger or progressing, and while I absolutely loved yoga classes, they weren't helping me achieve my fitness goals. What's different about Gymnasia is that in each class you're working towards achievable, personalized goals- with an injury prevention mindset. Little by little I noticed myself getting stronger and healthier. When I started regularly attending classes, I had a bad bout of plantar fasciitis alongside chronic ankle sprains. Walking, let alone hopping and swinging kettlebells seemed like it would be crippling. The coaches at Gymnasia worked with my physical limitations and modified exercises for me to fully participate without injuring myself. After about 3-4 months of regular attendance, my plantar was all but gone! My feet and ankles are much stronger, and I can walk long distances without worrying about pain the next day. I've also lost a considerable amount of weight which is a nice bonus! Not only are the workouts fantastic, but the community atmosphere is wonderful. I'm not a natural athlete, and team sports were never really my thing. I appreciate that I can work out in a group atmosphere, but go at my own pace- all the while being encouraged on by everyone else in the room. I've now been a member for just under 7 months, and am so thrilled with my experience at this gym! I'm excited to see what I'll be able to achieve year after year.

I have to admit that I was a little scared about going here with some co-workers, mostly because I…read moredidn't know what to expect. I was picturing a gym full of meat heads I guess, which is not my scene at all. This place is further from that picture than you could ever get. The atmosphere of the place is actually very chill/relaxing. It's a big open space with tons of interesting looking equipment. Josh is probably the most friendly and welcoming guy you could ever meet. We even talked running a bit, and he is full of helpful information! The class we took, Sweat Shop, was not at all what I was expecting. Josh makes the workout not only interesting, but fun and I got to use some of that interesting looking equipment. I had never used kettleballs or weighted bats (not sure what they are really called) before! I left a little sweaty, feeling like I had a very good workout, and I had fun on top of it. I'm a little sore the day after, which my body knows it means I had a great workout that was a full body workout! It's way better than the typical gym circut where you just go from dull machine to dull machine. I will defintely be coming back for more classes at Gymnasium. I'm paticularly interested in Yogabells and the fencing classes.

I reached out to Brian and he was kind and willing to help me even after learning my idiocracies. My trainers were Patrick and Skuyler and they were both patient, kind and motivating. I mostly worked with Skuyler and we worked well together. He celebrated by acheivements and never made me feel self concious. If you are starting your health journey and you need support, I would highly recommend Fitness together in Belmont. Everyone was amazing and even after they sold me a membership, continued to reach out, say hello when I walked in the door and put me first. Getting started was extremely informative about my own body and although I have a lot of work to do, I never felt judged during the health assessment process. When my membership came to an end, Skuyler put together a training schedule and a reference sheet for me to follow to continue my health journey on my own. He made sure I new what each exercise was called and how to increase as I grew stronger. Highly recommend this club.

The coaches were very knowledgeable and accommodating to my fitness goals and my crazy schedule. The other athletes are encouraging and welcome. As a triathlete, looking for some fun off season training, I decided to give this whole CrossFit thing a try. Having very little weight lifting experience, the coaches helped me safely learn the various movements. Once up to speed, I asked for some advice on some things to focus on to help me in my Tri races. We developed an entire personalized plan for me to help develop the muscle groups that needed the most work for my goals. As the Tri season came this year, I again asked to modify certain workouts so I could get the most out of all my training. The coaches were more than happy to help! As a consequence to all of this over and above coaching, this year I have won my age group in all 3 of my triathlons so far this year, had a PR in my 5k and won the season opener triathlon overall. Additionally, I developed some great friendships with the other athletes.

I've dropped in a few times over the years just to see how the Box is evolving, as I also do with…read moreother local Crossfits, just to compare them all over time. These are just my observations of the current experience. 1. Rusted/Old Bars - Most of the lifting bars (Men/Women) are in bad shape. Some have rust on them. I've been to many places that take care of their bars and lots of the time have all the same brand. There are numerous brands of bars in various levels of disrepair. 2. Rowers in Disrepair - They have a limited number of rowers (5?) of which are in really bad condition. One didn't register me rowing while another's chain was loose in the chamber with no tension, essentially not a functioning rower. 3. Assault Bikes in Disrepair - They also have limited Assault Bikes that are also in various levels of disrepair from broken foot pedals to unmaintained chains which is evident when pedaling. 4. Dirty/Separated Floor Tiles - The floor doesn't seem to have been cleaned in a long time, there were patches of mold in the area nearest the kettlebells. There was significant dirt in a lot of places as well as old tape for marking lines. The floor tiles have significantly come apart in many places. The widest I noticed was enough to place my hand inside and touch the concrete below. 5. Slated/Uneven Floor - The floor is uneven nearest the two side bay doors which has about 4 workout spots. So uneven that when I put my barbell down, the barbell rolled away from me pretty fast. 6. Filthy Bathrooms - Has to have the filthiest bathrooms of any CrossFit that I've visited and I've been to a lot! There were remnants of previous explosive visits to the toilet evident in the toilet and outside of it. 7. Unfriendly Coach - I went to a morning class and didn't receive the friendliest welcome. The Coach seemed as if they couldn't be bothered with me. This Coach teaches the early morning class at 5:30am. 8. Bad Wallballs - They are the cheap wallballs in which a lot of them have sand-like debris that falls out of them when you use them which gets in your eyes. Most are weight lopsided meaning that the weight isn't evenly distributed, common in the cheaper wallballs. 9. Bloody/Dirty Tapped Rigs - Some of the rigs have tape for a better grip. The tape grips have dried blood soaked into them. All were extremely dirty and hadn't been re-tapped in who knows how long. 10. Dirty Mats - The Box has the three-section folding mats as well as some larger black foam mats to lay out for HSPUs, for example, and they were all dirty. Didn't seem like they had been cleaned in a while. 11. Dumb Bells/Rubber Plates Broken - A lot of dumb bell heads are loose or the rubber coating is coming off due to wear and tear. Many of the rubber plates are in poor condition from the center metal ring being loose or the plate itself just being in poor condition or both. 12. Limited Class Times - There's a 5:30am, 9:30am, 12:30pm, 4:30 and 6:30am. You're out of luck if you want more flexibility for your schedule. Many of the area CrossFits have a more convenient morning class offering. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this Box. I've visited all the ones surrounding this one in the area and would recommend any of them over this Box. For instance, CrossFit Tilt and CrossFit City Line have state-of-the-art facilities with dedicated coaches. Everything is fairly clean and the Coaches are super friendly/experienced. The Drop-In fees are comparable and the entire communities at both are fantastic. The owners are all experienced CrossFitters that have made it to high-level competitions. They actually plan events together outside the Box frequently. There is a lot of parking at both places and they have doors to enter the facility. Oh, forgot to mention that CrossFit Newton doesn't have a dedicated front door, they have a bay door which you have to open and close in the colder weather. I also took some time and talked with some of the other members. There's a lot of drama and clicks in this Box. I will say that a lot of the members are fairly nice and pleasant. Most go because it's really close to them or because they are used to it.

CYBBC was really a life changing experience me. I was always a very active person (soccer, gym,…read moreswimming, etc), but as most people, after getting married and having kids, things change and all that stops. I gained a lot of weight in the last 10 years and after seeing my cholesterol rising close to 250, I knew I had to do something about it. In December 2016 I started looking for a way to lose weight and getting back in shape. I knew a normal gym would not work for me, I needed motivation and guidance (I was afraid of getting injured too). So after a lot of research, I found CYBBC. Mike offers a free week to try before you commit, so I had nothing to lose. After the first day I knew that it was exactly what I needed, and I signed up in January 2017. Since then, I lost 43 pounds and went from 23 to 13% body fat during the last 9 months. I also improve my running from basically almost dying after 1 mile to being able to run 10 miles on a good pace. I am in a better shape than I was in my 20's (I am 38 now). And, more importantly, my cholesterol is back to 150!!!! Mike does a great job keeping you motivated and focused on reaching your goals. He is a great coach and the people there are very supportive and friendly. I joined many gyms and had personal trainers in the past, but nothing compares with the experience that CYBBC provides.I feel bad if I have to miss a class (even at 6 am in the morning) Fun, intensive and effective!!!
