Crossfit 617 has everything you want in a box - great coaching, vtight knit community, loads of equipment, solid programming, and plenty of space. After spending COVID working out in my garage, I was missed having a community to keep me motivated in my workouts and 617 really delivered after I dropped in to check them out. I especially appreciate the programming at 617. Unlike other boxes that are geared towards advanced athletes, I find 617 to have a nice mix of movements with reps and weights that scale well across a broad spectrum of people. More emphasis on cardio as well. Other notes. It's easy to miss the building if you are visiting for the first time so look for the blue warehouse looking building sitting below the road. Also during busy classes, usually the morning ones, the parking lot can get quite busy and not fit enough cars. There is a lot in the park next door you can use and walk over. read more

I recently had a behind-the-scenes tour of CrossFit 617, and it had all the makings of an amazing place to work out. The high ceiling lends itself to an open, airy and inviting atmosphere to work out in. The equipment itself - from free weights, to medicine balls, to bikes, are all in excellent shape. There's even an outdoor section, complete with rope climbs, tire flips, peg climbs, and other cool things I can only dream about watching on Ninja Warrior. However, as someone who's been to countless gyms in the past, what really makes or breaks a gym is its people - both the owners/management and the clientele. By this same token, what sets CrossFit 617 apart is its people. I had a chance to sit in on a class the following day - the sense of community and camaraderie between the instructors and clients was evident from the start. Everyone goes out of their way to make each other feel part of the family so to speak, and that goes a long way. read more

CrossFit 617 - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

As a college athlete I am always looking for something new to keep me in shape during the off season. I had always had an eye on CrossFit as an option, but never really pursued it until this past summer. Honestly, joining CrossFit617 was the best decision I've made all year. It kept me challenged, honest, and driven to be better. All of the coaches are awesome, and really push you to be your best self. I have gotten so much stronger over the last few months, and I can't wait to keep getting strong with their help. Don't be afraid of the price. It's worth every penny and then some. I think of it this way: what is getting/staying fit worth to you? TL;DR: Do it. You won't regret it. read more

I can't say enough good things about this gym. I've been a member for around 8 months, and the people are what has kept me coming back every week-- the members are encouraging and wonderful people to spend time with, and the trainers are knowledgeable and patient. It's an amazing value for the money, because it feels like you're getting a personal training session whenever you take a class here (which are unlimited with your membership). They also have a variety of classes to choose from and they really care about offering you support for a well-rounded lifestyle; not just pushing you to exercise but supporting you with nutrition choices and encouraging healthy habits too. I am so happy I made the decision to join, even though I never thought I'd consider myself a "CrossFit person". I'm the happiest and healthiest I've ever been! read more

I love Crossfit 617. I've been a member for 6 months now and it's been a terrific experience. The coaches are excellent. They have helped me learn lots of new movements that I never did when going to a traditional gym and working out on my own. They give me tips on how to improve and provide positive reinforcement. The clientele is terrific. There is a strong feeling of camaraderie and support among the members. Before and after workouts people hang around and talk. The workouts are challenging, intense, and constantly varied. If you want a natural high there's nothing like an intense group workout with some music blaring and your adrenaline pumping. Everyone is at different levels and no one should be intimidated by the prospect of working out here. Everything is scalable and you quickly make progress in improving various movements, endurance, time, etc. It is so much better than going to a traditional gym by yourself with no real workout program to follow. You'll see much better results and meet new people at Crossfit. I wish Crossfit was around when I was 20 years old, but I digress. read more

617 is a great community with good coaching and fantastic programing. I have found the members to be laid back and incredibly accepting. The gym has everyone from beginners to advanced athletes and classes are tailored to make sure everyone gets a great workout. The intro class on Saturday morning is an easy way to find out what Crossfit is all about, it's a very small group, totally non-judgemental and goes through all the movements so you don't have to feel like you don't know what is going on or that you are slowing a class down. This gym is a great mix of supportive, encouraging and friendly while still being professional and well worth the price. Highly recommended! read more

Probably the most fun I have had working out and the hardest I have worked out. That being said, the staff has been great showing me proper form and stretches. I can say my body feels light years better than when I had constant knee, shoulder and back pain doing my own thing at Planet Fitness. Its much easier having an instructor each and every workout. The class sizes aren't crazy so you get plenty of attention. Overall its a great gym with good people. I have not met any crossfit snobs or elitists and I would recommend to anyone to anyone in the beginner stages to the above average stages of fitness. read more

Can only say good things about this gym. The staff is friendly and incredibly knowledgable. The coaching and programming is excellent. The member community is friendly and welcoming (this is NOT a Crossfit cult!) and there is a wide variety of ages and skill levels so it is not intimidating. If you are thinking of giving CrossFit a try then this is your place to do it!!! read more

An awesome box! Great programming and staff!

I never thought I'd do Crossfit. I worked out, but nothing as vigorous. When I got a "try for a week" offer, I figured what have I got to lose? It's great. Yeah, it busts my butt, but that's the point. What really works is that you have a trainer working with you every time you go. That would be super expensive in a regular gym. Plus, you can modify if you aren't able to do something fully, like say, pull-ups. Yikes. Fab was the trainer I had most often, but all of them are great. When I lost my job, they even reached out to help with a discount. Amazing people. read more

CF617 has an amazing and welcoming environment and community for exercise enthusiasts at any level.

After only 5 months of membership, I can say that Crossfit 617 feels like my second home. I entered the gym as beginner as you can get. I had never used a barbell, or done pullups... well, basically had never done anything required to do Crossfit. I was greeted immediately from all coaches with warmth and encouragement. They cheered on every small success and on tough days gave me the motivation to keep going. Even beyond the amazing coaching staff, the members are kind and genuine, and I feel like I've made a great group of friends. Everyone has a place here, both beginners and advanced athletes. As long as you work hard and show up you are treated with the utmost respect. I would tell anyone thinking about crossfit to join this community at Crossfit 617. read more

I started out here five months ago as a pre-beginner, with a bunch of bad exercise and life habits that prevented me from ever being fit, much less CrossFit fit. From the first day, I heard nothing but good things about the owners, the coaches, the classes, and the members. All true. The classes are beyond challenging for me, but I never feel like I can't do something. I always get the instruction--a lot of patience--encouragement, and fun that keeps me going back. The coaches are the real deal: they pay attention and actually want us to do well and get better. There are class times that work with my schedule (5:30 a.m. is perfect) and class sizes that allow the coaches to help everyone. Everyone gets a really hard workout in the scheduled time, and people still want to hang out together after. The members are mostly regular busy folks working out (I suspect some of them are actually superheroes), and the vibe is always friendly and cool, not exclusive or intimidating. Also, they are always adding new stuff to complement CrossFit, like power lifting and striking. I think there's something for everyone at all levels--even me (maybe a solid beginner by now). read more

After working out for many years at a traditional gym, I became bored with the monotony of doing the same bland workouts every week so I decided to join CrossFit617. CrossFit is the best because there is always something you can work on and all the workouts are different. There's no complacency that kicks in like in traditional weightlifting because there are so many different aspects you can improve on. Say for example you just hit your goal weight for your deadlift, well that's great you probably just finished your weightlifting cycle.. however, in CrossFit this is just one out of many movements that you'll have to master, and some of these other movements will not be impacted at all by how big your deadlift is. That is personally why I like CrossFit however, I do not think my sentiments would be so strong at at any other CrossFit gym. The coaches and athletes here are awesome and although it's a very tight-knit community, they were all very welcoming when I started. The relatively small classes are very helpful because you can build really strong relationships with the coaches who are very knowledgeable about all of the movements. Also, the sizes of the class really cater to beginners as the coaches are able to make sure they are getting enough attention and not just getting figuratively thrown into the back of the class. Overall, CF 617 is awesome and I'm never going anywhere else. read more
