Been a CFQ member for about a year now! I joined with a certain level of fitness already, but needed additional motivation/guidance because I was getting stale with my regular workouts. CFQ and their types of xfit workouts are helping me discover more of the 'functional' areas of fitness, beyond just lifting heavy things, but pushing my body (and psyche!) in new ways. The coaches are great, and what keeps me going back. I kept my regular gym membership just to have that option when I'm not feeling like a class, but if one's budget allows, it's worth investing in a trial at least to test out the vibe! read more

The most rude place I ever been. Please never come here they will ignore you for over 10 minutes

The trainers are definitely knowledgable and the exercises are challenging and engaging. The main reason I'm giving them a 1-star is around their under-handed business tactics around cancelation. It's normal for gyms to generally require a month's notice - for god knows what reason, still a mystery to me except to collect $$. But these guys went beyond and have me pay for almost 2 full months by processing my cancellation one day after my next billing cycle kicked in, which should have been my last month. Dishonest business practices are always disappointing, but more so from local businesses because I generally believe in supporting them first over the big guys. read more

My review is much like Neil R.'s except I was here for much longer. I was at Crossfit Queens for two years, and a few months ago, I would have given them five stars. I was a $99/month member, and didn't upgrade when they starting offering Crossfit Sport. So I just took the regular Crossfit classes. Over the summer, the programming was kinda going downhill, but I stuck it out. It turned out they were changing the programming in order to change the Group WOD classes into "FlexFit," a cardio-focused class with little weightlifting. In order to continue taking traditional CrossFit classes, you had to upgrade to a $160/month membership. We were given four days notice about these changes. And since I was a $99 member, I couldn't even sign up online for CF classes anymore, as those spots went to previous CF Sport, soon to be CF Plus members. I cancelled my membership immediately, and tried, unsuccessfully, to argue that I shouldn't have to give them 30 days notice, since they didn't give it to me. Eh, I got charged for the following month anyway, and I was tired of arguing at that point. I haven't set foot in there since the day of the changes. Honestly, I could have paid the price increase, but I was really disappointed in their treatment of members. Even though I had been a long time member, I got cut-and-paste impersonal communications, and my comments were deleted from the Facebook group page. They have a few CF Games-experienced coaches now, and I'm sure anyone who is there currently or thinking of joining will get a great experience, but who knows when they might switch things up again? read more

I signed up for a 1yr membership for their Unlimited "Group WODs" classes on Sept 12th. I paid $300 up front plus a prorated rate of $99/month (i'd pay $99 for the following months). I had previously taken their introduction classes earlier in the year which was called "3-2-1 GO" (more on this later) A couple days later, they sent out an email to all members announcing that they had changed their programing. The "Group WODs", which I had signed up for, had changed to "Flex Fit". A class where you wouldn't see "...Olympic lifting, barbell workouts or high skilled CrossFit movements.", all of which were things I expected in "Group WODs". For a wholesome experience of CrossFit, I would now have to upgrade my membership to their "CrossFit" class, previously known as "CrossFit Sport". This not what I wanted and so I proceeded to end my membership and request a refund (on sept 19). I told them that I'd like to pay for the 5 classes I attended ($25/class) and get refunded the difference of what I originally paid. The person with whom I spoke with told me I would receive a refund in a couple days. (note- I went in person since I got an answering machine when calling) A week passed and I had NOT RECEIVED A REFUND or any other further communication. I then went into the gym where they gave me an email address to contact regarding the refund. A week after that, NO RESPONSE. And so I proceeded to go into the gym and speak with the owner. I let Jon know my situation and he denied my refund. Instead he offered me two months of the upgraded plan - I declined the offer, mainly because I wanted to cut my ties. Also, I had recently joined CrossFit Dynamix and my experience there has been 5-star. I write this review to warn people to be careful in committing to a long term membership with CrossFit Queens. It left me with a sense that they change their programming often. When I signed up, I found out that they already had changed the intro class name, 3-2-1 GO to something else. I was left disappointed and frustrated - 1) With the sudden change in programming and 2) With the effort it took on my part to have this resolved. read more

This is my favorite box and they also have the flexfiit that is awesome! You should check it! read more

When you try and cancel your membership, if it's not on the 1st of the month they will charge you for the next month and are not understanding on any type of circumstance. Horrible business practice. read more

To be fair this review is almost exclusively about how the deal with the groupon customers, so ignore this review if you need to. For those who are considering getting the one month groupon, be warned. they have restrictions on what classes you can sign up for. So no early morning classes and no weekend classes. Just be grateful they allow you to sign up for evening classes. None of this is apparent before hand and is communicated off the cuff after you have already signed up. The pity is I am sure a good chunk of the people who try out the groupon might have been inclined to have stick to the gym. read more

This isn't Equinox, NY Sports Club, or Planet Fitness. I've been doing CrossFit for just under two years. I previously used to get my annual gym pass, go for a few weeks, and then get bored with it. That's not the case with CrossFit. The workouts are intense and varied, plus they take about an hour to get through a strength/skill portion and a functional metabolic conditioning workout. I'm all about efficiency given my schedule and I don't have time to plan every workout nor do I want to. I like having it given to me and I like it to be challenging and different from the previous day. You may think......how good can a workout be if it's only an hour? I can tell you that when I first started CrossFit in 2013 I was in the best shape I'd ever been in after about 4 months of doing it regularly. But enough about that....Let's talk CFQ. So I moved down here from Connecticut Mid-2013 which was about 6 months after I had started CrossFit in CT (I loved my box up there too). I loved it then and I still love it now. Over the roughly year and a half I've seen the box undergo a lot of good changes (equipment, layout, lockers, etc). Plus an easy to use reservation/sign in system. Coaching: I've seen a steady addition of knowledgeable coaches who constantly monitor your lifts to ensure that you are doing them correct to A.) Get the most benefit and B.) Not get injured. Plus they'll give you a little extra push when you're struggling through a WOD. Sometimes that's exactly what you need to finish. And that's what it's all about in the box and in life........finishing. Class Structure: As I stated above the class is split into two portions 1.) Skill/Strength and 2.) Metabolic Conditioning. Through both "sessions" you'll have 2-3 coaches monitoring you at all times. So for those that are used to personal training and paying an arm and a leg for it need not worry.....this place essentially has you covered. Sure it's not 1:1, but the classes are sized properly enough to get the guidance you need. Sometimes you'll have to speak up if you have questions but they will answer it and will demonstrate the movement. Community: Last, if not most important, is community. I remember the days of suffering through workouts by my lonesome in the back corner of a gym. That's not the case here. You'll be suffering with plenty of other people coming from all different kinds of fitness backgrounds. CrossFit gets a reputation for being a "cult" and I'll agree with that but it's not David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. It's a group of like minded individuals that are there to push each other. So to close it out......Your first week will suck (In a good way). You'll probably be sore for a few days as you work muscles that haven't been used in months if not years. Be prepared to go to work when you enter and check your pride at the door. It may seem like a competition when you're in there but it's important to remember your only true competition is yourself. Nobody will ever judge you. Four words to take away from this: - Community - Variety - Intensity - Efficiency read more

Anything less than 5 stars is an underevaluation of CFQ, (Cross Fit Queens). Recently moved to Astoria from Park Slope, where I frequented Harbor Fitness, great gym, btw. I started running in Astoria Park to keep fit and wasn't even aware of CFQ nearby. I stumbled upon it one evening and decided to give it a whirl by doing a trial month. The initial impact can be a bit offsetting as there really isn't a lot of hand holding when you come in, so you have to ask lots of questions if you're unsure of operational what, when, how and where. However being new to Cross Fit in general I was curious about everything, asked away and proceeded to sign up long term right after my one month trial. Why? Because CFQ is a tight neighborhood group where similarly to that famousTV show, everyone knows you by name! Once you find your groove, you're going into a welcoming place where everyone is supportive, cheering you on. Young or old, thin or heavy, diesel or weak, all workouts are scalable to fit your fitness level. You don't need to plan your weekly workouts, it's done for you by the coaches! All you have to do is commit to your health and fitness and show up! Doesn't get any simpler. The coaches are simply the best! Great people first, approachable, experienced, and fun, these guys will keep you in check and make sure you're making progress while assuring your form is optimal. Summing it up, if you're looking for a supportive neighborhood no-nonesense fitness place, you have to check this place out! My love handles took a hike, I can do a handstand pushup, all my friends want to know what I'm doing differently since I look and feel like a million dollars, and lastly, I wish I would have joined sooner, I feel great! read more

The day I started Crossfit was the 1st day of the rest of my life. I have been at Crossfit Queens nearly a year now and it is one of the best life changing decisions I have ever made. Not only has it changed my physical fitness but it has also improved my outlook on life. The staff at CFQ are highly attentive and very approachable. Crossfit Queens is not only a gym but it is a community. So if you are looking for a positive group of people to start fulfilling your fitness goals with, Crossfit Queens is for you. read more

I have been going to Crossfit Queens for over 3 months now and it's always a great experience... I little background is necessary, I am not an athletic person (more in the lazy side) and usually get bored pretty soon... well, this will not happen to you at CFQ (Crossfit Queens), the energy of the members is great, they are a real community and extremely friendly and helpful. The coaches are great, they are always available to help and guide... I absolutely love that the class have strong emphasis on technique. I will strongly recommend give it a try and you'll have a great time. read more

I wish I could feel the same as the other yelpers on this page and I really wish I felt differently, but I don't. I had signed up for the free trial class and I was very excited being that the location is convenient. I have traveled as far as New Jersey (I worked in the city) and I don't mind the traveling but having something close to home, would have been perfect. Upon my arrival to Crossfit, I was greeted by the charismatic (and what seemed to be) the owner. Normally when I go to gyms or places to work out, I am introduced to all the trainers and staff. Didn't happen here. Not that I expected it really but it would have been nice. It didn't break my spirit though! What I didn't like is how condescending the owner was when I as well as another new person was asking questions. It hit a nerve. She also stopped mid way of answering a question to talk to someone else, which I found quite rude. Once it was time to start the trial class, everything seemed a bit unorganized. I wasn't too impressed and the lack of information before beginning the class was a bit unsettling and awkward. Maybe I will go back to having a personal trainer in Astoria Park. This review is based on just the trial and I have heard from friends that the male trainer is better and kicks your butt. read more

I dropped in on a class on my quest to find my CrossFit home in NYC and I was impressed. There were fifteen athletes and two instructors; the class divided into groups by ability level for the strength section, but did the WOD together. The two coaches (can't remember their names) were good at correcting. They often times would use a technique of giving the group corrections as a whole ("I noticed that most people did xyz, they should instead do abc"), as opposed to singling people out, which is probably good for newer athletes or more self conscious athletes (although they don't hesitate to correct individuals when an individual is doing something wrong). The coaches were both high energy and fun. The gym also had a very solid sense of community, they even had a labor day party and most athletes in my class were planning on going. The WOD was also satisfying and creative, I definitely felt that I got a good workout in. In the end, I didn't choose to join CFQueens because it was a much further commute than the gym I ended up joining. read more

Aside from the challenging workouts, the primary reason why CFQ receives 5 stars is the coaches! Not only do they do an amazing job explaining the exercises but they pay close attention to your progress. The CFQ coaches genuinely care about their athletes and provide tips tailored to each person. Going to CFQ is the highlight of my day! A BIG shout out to all the coaches especially Amy, Dave, Kevin, and Meg! read more

Been here for a few months and have noticed a huge difference. Really enjoy working with the coaches, have learned a ton since I started, and everyone seems really friendly including the other patrons. The programming seems legit and enough attention is placed on form so as not to injure yourself. I started out being unable to do even the basic stuff (pull ups, jump ropes, rope climbs, squats, etc) and have worked my way up which seems to be a common theme here so i encourage others not to be discouraged or intimidated. The results can come fast if you put the time in and follow good nutrition. read more

So I have read some of the reviews below, and mine is very similar to Aubrey, Neil, and even Joselito. Great coaches and trainers, terrible customer service. I was a 99$/month member at Crossfit Queens for over 2 years when I decided to run the NYC marathon. I did not want to overtrain by continuing Crossfit and marathon training at the same time and thought that people working in the fitness industry would understand and be excited for me to take on this new challenge. I didn't want to cancel my membership because I knew that I would be back soon after the marathon. I loved Crossfit so much! So I decided to freeze my membership for the 3 months during my training and paid the $20 per month to do that. I spoke to someone in person to set this all up with my account and was told that everything was taken care of. I noticed a charge of $99 on my credit card right away and figured that something went wrong with the process of putting my account on hold. I called the gym and left a message and never received a response. So I decided to go into the gym and speak with someone in person. I was told that instead of issuing me a refund, I would be credited the first month that I reactivated my account. The person that I spoke to told me that they had set everything up so that for the next 2 months I would be charged the $20 fee to keep my account on hold, and after that I wouldn't be charged for my first month back. Woooo! I ran my first marathon! I was so excited to start Crossfit again that I went into the gym during the same week that I ran to make sure I was reactivated and could attend classes. Guess what... I saw another $99 charge on my credit card for the month that I was supposed to be credited and ohhhhh waitttttt this is where it gets really good. While I was off running a marathon, they changed my account from Crossfit to FlexFiit. You can read some of the other posts below about FlexFiit- no barbells, no olympic lifts, no gymnastics... it's basically a standard group fitness class. I tried to call about the incorrect charge on my credit card and again never got a response. So once again I went in to the gym in person to figure it all out. I told my story to the person working at the desk only to be questioned about the validity of all of my statements. Do I have proof of any of those previous conversations? No, because I trusted the people that I spoke to in the gym to follow through with what they had told me. Here I am a member for over 2 years.. never missed a payment.. being accused of lying about someone telling me that my account would be credited for the mistake that THEY made earlier on. It wasn't until I threatened to cancel that they finally offered me the month of credit that I was already owed. They made it seem like they were doing me a favor by giving me this month that I already paid for. I went to a few FlexFiit classes and was incredibly disappointed and was so frustrated with this whole process that I just wanted to cancel. When I tried to cancel, I got roped into another month because I had only given 26 days notice as opposed to 30. I ran the marathon in November and it took me until February to finally sort everything out and be done with Crossfit Queens. I miss the workouts a lot, but I am so nervous to join another Crossfit gym after this experience. After almost a year, I am finally going to give it another try and check out Crossfit Dynamix! read more

Fitness can and should be fun! There is a big reason that I commuted 45 minutes to this box every morning for a year, and eventually moved to Astoria to be closer. You couldn't find better coaching, better programming, a more fun and welcoming community, or a better home away from home than CFQ. Try it, you won't regret it, and it'll quickly become the best hour of your day. Bonus: we have lots of gym doggos read more

How do I even begin? I absolutely love all of the coaches, the facility and the other crossFitters at CrossFit Queens! I walked in one day to ask a few questions and left as a new member! Haven't turned back since! Been there since February! The attention to technique by the amazing coaches makes this the perfect box for anyone who wants to start CrossFit. But then venture into the HAM Squad class and you are truly a hardcore athlete. The coaches push you, support you and are actually friendly! (Trust me I've been to some boxes where the coaches are extremely cold.)They know their stuff! After starting my training at CrossFit Queens I pretty much never want to move from Astoria! I'm hooked and so will you! read more

I have been a member here for over a year now and couldn't be happier with my results, trainers and atmosphere at box!!! The price for this box is unbeatable! I had to pay a down payment and monthly fee after. ALL of the coaches are super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the body and exercises practiced here. The only drawback is that classes do tend to get booked rather quickly, especially in the beginning of the year when new people make it their resolution to workout more. Overall, I am a happy customer and would recommend this box to anyone!!! read more

I'm a big fan of this box. I've been here three weeks and I'm already seeing huge changes in my strength and shape. The coaches are VERY careful to make sure I maintain proper form to prevent injury and are constantly encouraging me. Rosko was my On-Ramp coach and I was very pleased with the paces he put us through. He was more concerned with teaching us proper technique than anything else, which will keep us on the floor and out of the hospital. I'm stunned at how quickly my body is changing--energy is through the roof. I can see ABS. Shoulders are getting wider and bigger every week. Problem areas are becoming less of a problem. I highly recommend these folks because I have seen the effectiveness of what they're teaching here. I'm a believer. Great equipment, awesome coaches, great team atmosphere. It's not a frilly, frou-frou place. You show up, get your work done, and feel better and stronger. I dig that. read more

This place is phenomenal, you are really getting your money worth. I decided to try it out as I'm a current NYSC member and I wanted something more intense and decided to finally take a leap and join the flexfiit classes and after taking 5 classes I can I say it kicked my butt. I fell in love and deciding to leave NYSC for this awesome gym :) read more

Did a last minute drop-in, plenty of equipment even for a full class! Great coaching and program

This place is the best thing that ever happened to me! And if I had kids, I would STILL say that. I had never done Crossfit before and didn't really know what to expect. The only thing I knew about it was what I saw on TV when they were showing the Crossfit Games 2012. And that was bananas! Anyway, I called before coming in and set up an intro class with Brandy. She was really sweet and helpful over the phone. When I came in, I ended up doing a free trial class with my now FAVORITE coach, Andy. He coached me through my Foundations courses, and it was great! He's knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. (note: Claudette and Nick are also amazing) I've been going to CrossFit Queens for over a month, and now I'm a total addict! The classes are usually pretty small (less than 10 people), fun, and challenging. I don't think I could go back to working out at a regular gym after coming here. Ummmm....I think that's all I have to say. Apologies to my future children. read more

If I could give CFQ more stars I would. I started going to CFQ in the summer of 2011. I had been working out at another gym chain for years and decided to try CrossFit when a friend recommended it. Fortunately for me, CFQ is just a few blocks away from my apartment. As a newbie, most (if not all) CrossFit gyms will require you to take intro or "Foundations" classes when you first start. I signed up for foundations and within a few weeks cancelled my other gym membership. I haven't looked back since. Along with the kick-a** workouts, CFQ has great coaches and members.There are always people from CFQ ready to meet up outside of the gym to run races or hit the local bars. It's a real community and a great asset to the neighborhood. On a final note, CrossFit in general might not be for everyone, but if you like it, CFQ is a great place. read more

Having been underwhelmed in the past by most commercial gyms, fitness classes, and DVD boxed-sets, I joined CFQ hoping that its team-oriented atmosphere and hearty membership fee would keep me motivated. As someone who used to see exercising as a necessary chore, I now find myself looking forward to every workout-of-the-day. Brandy and her coaching staff are dedicated, attentive, and wholeheartedly invested in seeing you improve. The community is diverse, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. The On-Ramp program provides with you all of the techniques and skills necessary for the workouts, and by doing so, takes away some of the intimidation of things like kettlebells and squat racks. I walked into Crossfit Queens looking for a place to get in shape, and walked out with a new sport, a new group of friends, and a new place in a worldwide community, read more

horrible staff and coach that hustled to attempt me to sign up.

What I love about coming here: the friendly atmosphere, but at the same time how serious the coaches are about what they do. At any point you can find a coach to help you out with form and technique. They will also help you identify your strengths and help you strengthen your weaknesses. I personally have horrible knees from previous injuries and coaches at CFQ work around that by modifying a lot of my work-outs and still giving me the best possible workout to strengthen the muscles that protect my knees. I haven't actively worked out in over two years... Coming back is no easy process, but if you put in the work and effort, CFQ will be support you every step of the way. read more

This place is an absolute blast! The coaching balances pushing its athletes and not being too harsh. They value form and safety first, which is great for first-time crossfitters. The evening classes can get full, so be sure to preregister online. If you can, take the morning or mid-day classes. Usually no more than 6-10 people in them Also, their onramp class can be tested out of if you show adequate form/experience on the lifts. That was a BIG plus since I'd been doing cross fit for 3 months previously. Box is big and spacious without a lot of "pros" doing their own workouts during your WOD's. If you are a new crossfit athlete, start here. read more

I began going to Crossfit Queens in November of last year. Wanted to get back into shape after a broken foot and was not enjoying the traditional gym (and seeing no results from my efforts!). I started with On Ramp with Coach Gabe to get the basics down. There were 4 weeks of classes to help you learn and understand the movements (most crossfit gyms do a week or 2 tops). CFQ main focus is ensuring your understand and execute the movements correctly & take the time to help you get there. The community itself is AMAZING. Many people feel intimidated by Crossfit & think we are all crazy people but trust me when I tell you the people at this gym are great! I have made so many friends and truly enjoy interacting with everyone each time I go to class. The coaching staff is GREAT. So friendly and truly take the time to get to know each of their athletes. I can not say enough good things about this box & if you still need to be convinced more I started at a size 6 and am now currently a size 2. This stuff works!!! read more

Traveling a lot for work has let me experience CrossFit in a number of different places. Having previously been a member at another NYC CrossFit, when I was preparing to return to NYC this past February, I knew I did not want to go back to where I previously was a member and wanted to find a new CrossFit home. I could not be any happier to with my decision to switch to CrossFit Queens. The space is huge. They have tons of equipment (never have I not been able to Rx a WOD if I wanted to because someone else beat me to the last Rx weight kettle bell here), the coaches are incredibly knowledgable and truly present during your WOD. Other CrossFits here in New York have coaches on their phones throughout the hour and look inconvenienced to be there helping you. Not here. They push you in the best way possible. I truly can't say enough about this place. A true CrossFit community, which isn't always easy to find. I look forward to going to workout, not only to workout, but to see the people who very quickly became friends and a cheering section for me. read more

i have been coming here for the past 2 months i didn't really know much of anything when it came to crossfit. I took their introductory course and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! i immediately purchased their ON RAMP package required to enter you into the wonderful world of crossfit. I simply think of this place as an escape or second home! :) the trainers are fantastic/helpful and extremely knowledgeable ( THEY KNOW THEIR CRAFT! ) the feeling i get when i walk into this place for a workout i will never feel in any regular gym. This place awesome because there's such unity and camaraderie there are no egos here every crossfitter/trainer here pushes you to be better! WODS ( Workout Of The Day ) are challenging you never know what's coming! I enjoy keeping track of my progress we are always competing not to be ahead of anyone but to always push yourself and never plateau. read more

I've been a member for about 4 months now and I can not say enough nice things about CFQ! Staff is attentive,approachable,helpful and very friendly. I've had a severe hearing loss for a number of years and following instructions can be a bit of a challenge for me. Background noise makes it difficult for me to hear what the coaches are saying,so I have to rely a lot on visual cues. Coach Andy,Brandy,Gabe and Antonio have been great! If there's something I didn't hear or grasp,they don't mind repeating themselves,and they take the time to make sure I understood what was said. I especially like Andy Jordans Adventure racing classes. I did my first Spartan race in April and place top 3 in my age group. read more

Since I have been coming here really regularly for the past two months now, I figured it was time to write a review. (Note: I have been here more times than the Yelp check-ins say. I often forget to check-in on Yelp because I'm either too excited or too exhausted!) After a year of being pretty sedentary and hiding behind textbooks and M&A deals, a breakup in August forced me to take a step back and work on "me." (Classic, right?) I joined CrossFit Queens, like, a week later, and it has come to play a ridiculous role in my life-- perhaps more than I'd care to admit! Every Monday, I sit down and plan which classes I'll attend, and then my week basically revolves around that. From day ONE (the free introduction class with Andy), I knew that this was an amazing fit for me. Also, you should probably know that over a year ago, I did On-Ramp at another CrossFit gym (when I lived in Brooklyn), so I already knew what to expect AND can give a very truthful review. CrossFit Queens exceeded my expectations, and continues to do so on a daily basis. Honestly, by the end of the first week, almost every coach knew my name, and I already had friends in the classes. (Like, at the beginning, it's HARD to get your lazy ass up and moving. But the time for the evening class would come around, and I'd think, "Well, I want to see so-and-so today, so I'd better go!") Of course, after you truck through those first couple weeks of soreness, you get into the habit, and you suddenly wake up and think, "OK, twelve more hours until CrossFit today. Let's make it through the day." Trust me. It's tough at first but it's very addicting. We're all busy. I get that. But you know what was awesome? I got super busy with work and school for a week and a half, and I got a message from CFQ saying, "We miss you!" And then when I went in next, rather than chide me or make me feel guilty for not being there, the coaches were like, "HEY! Great to see you! Sorry that you've been so busy. Come on in and work all your frustrations out!" This community is so, so amazing. Everyone goes out of their way to make new people feel welcomed. There are great events on the weekends, too-- an added plus. Since this is in Queens, you'll meet a lot of first responders, military, etc.-- real people who use these skills in real life. I highly recommend this CrossFit gym. As I live in Corona, there are no convenient CrossFit gyms near me. (Unless you count walking down Junction Blvd. late at night CrossFit... there will be jumping and running. lol) But since there are no CrossFit gyms near me, I did a ton of research on all of them-- in Queens as well as Manhattan and Brooklyn. I could not be happier with CFQ. I've found the ideal fit. (And pssssht, who needs a relationship? Boys are stupid.) SIX MORE HOURS UNTIL CROSSFIT! LET'S MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY!!! read more

My experience here was about a year ago, but only just now getting around to this review, so take that with a grain of salt in case the attitude there has changed. I dropped in for a couple classes and the trainers here definitely had egos as if "CrossFit is the best workout and only workout." Yes, it's a great workout, which is why I do it, but guess what? You can also get a fantastic workout doing a lot of other things, and this should be encouraged. I can't stand the "CrossFit is the end all be all" attitude. On top of this, the coach I was working with was hyper aggressive about working absolutely as hard as possible and as fast as possible with as much weight as possible without much regard to well-being and form. Not good. Also, class sizes here are fairly large - also not good. The kicker? He asked if anyone had any injuries and I had torn my left knee meniscus while running within the past year and still had a little residual pain there so I let him know. His response was, "of course you tore it, you were running, running is terrible." Are you serious? Running is the oldest sport in the world, and will be around well after CrossFit is dead. Goodbye. (And yes, I still CrossFit over a year later - just at a MUCH better and more encouraging box). read more

I had high hopes for this place. I live near by and I needed a convenient solution to my lack of exercise lifestyle. Due to my demanding work schedule and stressful occupation I haven't worked out in years. I was hoping the "group" class structure would keep me motivated to stay on a healthy regimen. So I signed up for a free beginner's class. It was OK but I feel there were way too many people in the class. I don't know if they are trying to accommodate more of a demand or what but I felt completely shuffled around. There should be no more than 10 people in this program and it seemed like there were 25 of way too many ability levels. Which brings me to why this was a traumatizing experience. I'm a skinny guy with almost zero upper body strength. This has always been my problem. I am almost always mistaken for half my age because I have the body of a teenage boy. So what happened was I ended up in a small group of average guys and we were supposed to do this dumbbell lift routine. To my horror the guys in my group grab 15+ weights to add to the bar which I could not lift! Especially since I hadn't even touched a dumbbell in 5 years! When my turn came to lift, I couldn't. It was HUMILIATING. I was told by Brandy (the coach/owner?) to lift with a group of GIRLS who were using lighter weights. OH. MY. GOD. I wanted to crawl under a rock. Now, let me add, that Brandy didn't do anything wrong. If anything she was very kind and tried to make the experience pleasant. I'm simply saying that this "group" thing may be horrifying if, like me, you aren't at the strength or agility level of the other people in the group. Maybe if I had brought a few of my own friends that I wasn't embarrassed of or had other men in the class who were as skinny, obviously this would be a non-issue. And the rest of the exercises were pretty fair. Push ups, sit ups, sprints, etc. But I feel that most of the others in the class (women and men) were way more "in-shape" than I expected. Most of the guys were showing off how strong they were. I didn't feel it was an appropriate "beginner's" class. I might go back if I find another skinny dude to join with me. The convenience of the place is just so optimal. But I will not go back for another humiliating experience! read more

Updated: 10/25/2016 I cancelled my membership a few months back. After I started seeing the class changes, bad programming and price increases I figured that wasn't the end. With the addition of the new coaches, who went to the games I figured they would be increasing prices again due to staff, but I wasn't overly impressed, nor am I trying to get to the games; I just enjoyed the workouts and community. read more

My experience at Crossfit Queens wasn't great so I am surprised at all these 5 star reviews. - Gym is small, equipment is outdated and looks beat up. With what they charge, the place should be rocking better equipment. - Get ready to change with men/women in a badly lighted room with a couple of dusty curtains. Leave your stuff in a busted locker. Keep your fingers crossed that your phone and stuff is still there by the time you leave. - The schedules are unrealistic: early morning 5am or late night 9pm and only on certain days. Those were the only options available to me. What? Hire more people and open more classes at normal hours! - My trainer was a bit arrogant. Seems like the trainers all drank the crossfit brotherhood kool-aid and forgot that they were here to smile, train and provide a service well to paying clients, repeat. The only person that ever smiled at me was the guy that signed me up. - One star for the WOD. I felt a fair amount of pain the next day. It was a good workout but not the best I have ever had. I went to three workouts and never went back. Decided to sign up at a different gym last month that also offers crossfit and for less. Paying a high price for a few wooden crates, dirty ropes and jogging around the block might be your idea of a gym experience but it definitely wasn't mine. Sorry Crossfit Queens! read more

I've been a member here for almost two years now and only have positive things to say about Crossfit Queens. The coaches are engaging, supportive, motivating and overall fantastic. When I've been injured and communicated that to coaches they have always provided alternative movements so that I can still get a good workout but am not injuring myself further. When I've tried to push myself a little bit too far and my form went out the window I've had coaches stop me and ask me to deload and focus on form. I also love the variety of classes they offer on the weekends so that I can switch it up. Personally I'm a fan of the endurance class because during the week we might only have 1 longer "endurance based" WOD. And who doesnt love running right? Or rowing and burpees for 40 minutes? It's a love hate. This community is amazing. read more

Great coaches and trainers. Good community of people. Tidy facility. All skill levels welcome. Would highly recommend.
