Knowledgeable and caring coaching staff and an amazing facility!…read more I'm the director of an organization that provides adaptive and inclusive fitness training for coaches and medical professionals. CrossFit Casco Bay was a host for our seminar and would be my choice of gyms if I lived in the Portland, Maine area. The gym facility is well equipped with just about any type of training aid you could ever hope for.  The gym is clean, organized, and is very spacious for a functional fitness style facility.  There's showers and plenty of parking out front.  The space used to be a garage and so it has these amazing garage doors that let in a ton of natural light and open up to allow fresh air flow. These people just get it!  They're caring and easily connect with their clients.  They also are highly educated in fitness training and continue to pursue more knowledge to enable them to pass that onto their members.  This is the gym I use when traveling to the area and if I lived anywhere near Portland, I would definitely be a member!  Go check them out!

Wasn't the best welcome anyone in my group has ever received dropping into another gym. Our…read morewelcome, after we declared we were dropping in, was "I can see that". From there, it was nothing but a series of shaming, despite our efforts to reach out to the gym ahead of time. 1. It is not our fault your website is misleading. We filled out the "drop in" form, but nothing populated from it. 2. It is not our fault you don't have paper waivers on hand. 3. We could have happily tended to the waiver and payment at the end of class. 4. Had you looked like you were open, we wouldn't have sat in the car for 10 minutes prior to coming in. 5. People showed up after us, who were happily welcomed in, though I assume they were members. Despite, being timely shouldn't be selective. We never caught the name of the coach, because she didn't take the time to introduce herself. As a coach myself, this is poor PR. First impressions are everything; and had I not been eager for a workout, I would have turned around and left. I will be seeking alternative gyms next time I come to town. Despite these flaws, the workout was a good one and there were a handful of members that made the effort to interact with my group and myself. Community is everything, and if nothing else, they seem like they have a good one going.

Beacon was such a highlight to my time in Portland! I temporarily relocated to the area and wanted…read moreto get back into CrossFit after taking a 2+ year break during the pandemic and was a bit anxious about it, but my experience start to end with Beacon put me at ease and was fantastic! I submitted an inquiry about learning more about Beacon and heard back within the same day and was able to meet the owner and get an assessment scheduled quickly. After the assessment, I jumped right into classes and loved it. Well out-fitted, a great community of friendly and motivating members, and awesome coaches -- Beacon has it all! I think what I appreciated the most about Beacon is the team's attitude towards fitness; fitness can enrich your life and make living your life easier and better. After doing CrossFit for years at a previous box, I was so used to a culture of just wanting to throw around as much weight as possible with no regard to form and listening to my body. At Beacon, I felt supported to really focus on how to properly move my body, how to best challenge my body, and really how to have fun with CrossFit again. Thanks for such a great five weeks, Beacon, I hope I'll be able to come back again soon!

Absolutely one of the best gyms/fitness centers I've ever visited. I'm currently enrolled in small…read moregroup training and we are working on deadlifts, back squats, pull ups and ring rows, as well as classic CrossFit cardio-based moves (rowing, assault bike, running, etc.). My coach/trainer, Seth, is amazingly helpful and patient in teaching me how to do handstands against the wall (and eventually without the wall). He has a very supportive, encouraging, easy-going personality that really motivates me to do my best. He routinely asks me what moves I want to work on, and we have already covered rope climbs and handstand preps, to name a few. I really enjoy the small group vibe as it gives us a chance to get to know each other better, and we have more time with our coach than we would in a regular CrossFit class. Seth has helped me get to the point where I feel like I can just jump into a regular CrossFit class whenever I want. I'm already almost up to a PR in deadlifts and it has only been a few months (and I took over a year off). It is a bit pricey (I'm paying $240 for 8 classes a month), but I still think it is worth it. You really are getting a lot of time with the coach, even in the small group setting. Highly recommended.

Class size seemed like there were about 18 people, but it didn't feel cramped or uncontrolled. It was a large gym. There was room for everyone and everything. She made sure to introduce us and everyone made us feel welcome. It was a good WOD. We got good advice from a gym member to take HWY 1 put to Acadia and we really appreciated the advice. Had we more time, we would've returned for another workout. Thank you for hosting us. I'm sure we'll be back.
