This place is great on so many levels. I am visiting CT for a few months during my husband's deployment and was searching for a Crossfit box that would welcome me into their community for that time -- and whose focus was not on crazy competitiveness or killing yourself for a WOD, but on getting a good workout using the right techniques. I came across a few "bigger" gyms in the area (that, years ago, I was a member of) but when I contacted them, I just knew they wouldn't work for what I needed/wanted.
I emailed Crossfit Expressions and they quickly got back to me with clear answers to my questions and a "no problem" kind of attitude. Since joining in March, I have been quickly welcomed into their community. It's a small gym with an awesome atmosphere -- people know each other, talk to each other, support one another and the class sizes are small. The programming is thoughtful, easily scaled to your level -- and without a doubt, every time, gets you an great workout.
As a military family, we've had the good fortune of being a part of many Crossfit gyms. The coaching here by Carole, John & Jordan is the best I've experienced. They take their time with you - give specific instruction - and really motivate you. I've had 2 kids since starting Crossfit. They met me where I was, helping me scale and set attainable goals for the time I'm here. There was no judgement - just quality coaching and programming. If you've never done Crossfit or are just starting, this place and these people are the way to go.
I have never, so quickly, felt like "part of the team" and in our lifestyle where I am constantly the "new person" I appreciate that more than they know. I'll be back whenever we are in town! read more
