Great group of coaches and people to train with. Started with them in the first few months son inception and always had a great workout.

This place has changed my life. Not even exaggerating. The owners are the most caring and nicest people that you will ever find at a crossfit gym and if you think that you can find owners who watch their athletes and focus on safety as much as these guys then I challenge you to do so ( you will fail so don't waste your time) . Do you know how many people travel out of their way to come to this gym? That right there just proves that not all crossfit boxes are created equal. The workouts are challenging and kick my butt and the people that I work out with have become some of my really great friends. To top this all off how many other gyms have mobility built into their programming. Fair warning: Crossfit is a commitment (you need time and a consistent showing to succeed)...The programming is well thought out and scheduled and requires you to show up regularly. You get out what you put in. One last thing: it's frustrating to see the post from Colette H especially because she has knocked the gym without ever stepping foot inside or trying one of our classes. Without knowing any context I can guarantee the owners were not rude. Unfortunately, programs fill up and are first come first serve and I'm sure they were just suggesting that you consider joining the next program. I noticed that irrelevant of anything your post was discussing you name dropped your 17 marathons and 2 ironmans (thanks for letting us know!) and best of luck with those! read more

CrossFit Valkyrie - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - ELMSFORD, New York

See all

I am a member of valkyrie for over 5 years. I have to continued to train here due to the great coaches and exciting classes they have. The atmosphere and members are great, and it makes training much more exciting. I would like to add that the valkyrie X class i recently attended was such a fun class, from boxing to interval intensity. If we could have more time slots of this class, that would be great.

Dropped in to this place and was blown away by the welcoming atmosphere. I was visiting the area for business and wanted a solid workout. I was not disappointed. Great facility. Knowledgeable coaching and professional programming. This experience reminds me why I love Crossfit and why the CF community is so unique. Crossfit Valkyrie is a hidden gem!! read more

CrossFit Valkyrie - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - ELMSFORD, New York

My visit was for a boot camp class but my review is more on how this place is run. I happened to catch the last few minutes of an earlier class in progress when I walked in. While that class was packed, I was glad to see what looked like 3 or more coaches watching over and actively helping students to adjust form. The gym itself is a good size and well equipped, so everyone had their space. I was promptly greeted. As my class was beginning, I was introduced to all the (friendly and welcoming) members. While that's kind of par within the CrossFit community, what impressed me was that I was assigned a more experienced member as my buddy for the day. The coach also checked in with me multiple times throughout the class to make sure everything was okay. The actual workout was lots of fun and incorporated gamification to make the 75 min go by fast. I also got a sticker for my water bottle at the end. All good stuff. I've been to many CrossFit boxes in other states and in a handful of other countries, and this one is a gem. Members are great, coaching is up beat, and the space is cool right on Hudson. If I lived in the area and could stick to a single gym, I could totally see myself as a member here. read more

Crossfit Valkyrie has taken my fitness abilities to a completely new level!! I have been a member of two other Crossfit Boxes in Westchester, but neither have come close to the experience that I have here at CFV. First, when you start there is an "on ramp" program to teach you all the techniques and moves so you don't get injured and you become knowledgeable. Genius! The Coaches are all well trained in the areas of fitness, anatomy/physiology, mobility, flexibility, nutrition and overall good health practices. They are passionate about this field and their thirst for new knowledge is evident as they share their research with us regularly. Being a bit of a Geek myself, I thoroughly enjoy coming in and learning about body movement or nutrition tips daily. The Coaching technique they provide is strong support with gradual release and each one of them has their own personal style. This helps when you have difficulty with a movement, for example...say clean and jerks...each Coach can give you a slightly different way of attempting it. They are consistently tweaking your stance, grip, posture and breath in order to provide a safe environment and proper movements. This is something that did not happen in other Boxes I went to and I always felt as if I was going to get hurt at those places. Along with their high level of professionalism, the Coaches genuinely care about each Athlete. They not only care about how they are performing on the row machine, but they care about how their Puppy's surgery went yesterday, how they did on the LSATs or how their vacation to Hawaii was? They are all personable, interesting and funny. They are people you want to be around taking coaching advice in the Box, people you want to be sitting at a bar having wings and pint with and people you want to compete alongside with in a Tough Mudder competion as a Teammate!! The Members of Crossfit Valkyrie are a terrific group of individuals. They have become my Friends inside and outside the Box. I always know after a challenging day, I can head down to CFV to get a good workout and vent with some people that have become Family. Again, these are a group of people I am thrilled to workout with, share a beer with and compete with. We can share our life experiences with this growing Family. I am a firm believer that everyone should have some form of exercise and nutrition in their lives. Crossfit Valkyrie is the whole package. Crossfit may not be for everyone, but it is for more people than one would think! I'm small. I'm 5'2" 116# and not a big bulky Iron Lady. I am not one of those people who can wander around a big Gym alone trying to self motivate and create my own workout for hours. Crossfit has become a structured workout Family for me. The Workout of the Day is listed each night. We motivate each other and we have personal trainers who are hands on for each workout. We push each other, cheer for each other and at times even carry each other. It's never an easy workout, but it shouldn't be easy. It's satisfying, encouraging and fun. Almost every day I walk in, look at the WOD and think, "Can I do that?" With support from my Family...yes. Yesterday I rowed 10,000M with one teammate. I thought for sure he would be pulling most of the distance. We split it exactly evenly. This is Crossfit! You accomplish things you never thought you could...and then look forward to doing a bit more next time! There are a ton of Crossfit boxes popping up out there these days. I travel 35 minutes each way every night to go to Crossfit Valkyrie rather than one of the more local ones. This Box is one of a kind!! This particular Crossfit has filled a void in my life. It's changed me...mind, body and soul. Come down and check it out!! Meet the Coaches and Members...ask questions and find out if Crossfit Valkyrie is a good fit for you!! You won't be disappointed!! read more

CrossFit Valkyrie - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - ELMSFORD, New York

What can I say about CrossFit Valkyrie but that it is not only a place to workout with VERY attentive coaches, but it is also a home full of wonderful people that will quickly become your friends and family! I have a very busy schedule between work and Spartan races and last year I wasn't training properly, if at all - Spartan races EVERY weekend were my workouts and I thought that was enough - until I got injured and needed knee surgery at the end of the year. After that I went into a downward slump and felt pretty lost! It wasn't until I walked through the doors at CrossFit Valkyrie in January that everything fell into place. I found myself again. Not once was I made to feel like I didn't belong there. The coaches are all very caring and do everything to make sure that you don't get injured or further any injury you may have. I have to say I had a lot of setbacks with my knee until then, but I was taught what I should and shouldn't be doing - when to push myself and when to rest. They are all very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with CrossFit (which can be very daunting for some!) from Day One, listening to every question I had, every concern and anxiety as I geared up for my very first race since surgery just last year. I wouldn't say I'm the easiest person to work with as I'm pretty stubborn and headstrong in the things I want to do and accomplish but at CrossFit Valkyrie it's not just about the workout, it's about preparing you for life. They will put you through workouts and make them fun and challenging - never making you feel like you can't finish what you started. In addition to the CrossFit, there are Boot Camp workouts, ruck training and just good old-fashioned fun! Anyone who does a Spartan race, or any OCR for that matter, knows that it's more mental toughness than physical - your body will quit before your mind does. I was both physically and mentally ready for my first race - this time everything felt different and my body reacted differently and quickly adapted to what I was putting it through - and I had only been with CrossFit Valkyrie for 2 months! If that isn't a testament on how their methods get to progress quickly I don't know what is! Hard work and dedication goes both ways - my medals are "Always Earned, Never Given" - and this year all my medals go to CrossFit Valkyrie because as far as I'm concerned if it wasn't for my coaches I wouldn't be where I am today to be able to finish a race - so I'm giving them what they've earned - and anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about racing and how much I love my medals! It's all about striving for what you think you can't do - "Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't" - and CrossFit Valkyrie has taught me just that...I can do anything I put my mind and body to. "You've been afraid, you've been exhausted, you've wanted to quit more times than you can remember. You just didn't" - words from my coach just before my first race when I semi-panicked that I wasn't ready and he told me I was - I don't think there's any other place where you can get motivation like that. I know that even if I'm not feeling well or don't really feel like working out, I will still go to CrossFit Valkyrie and immediately feel that motivation from the coaches and others around me. Had it been any other gym, I may have just skipped working out all together. I'm not only a Spartan but I'm also a Valkyrie and it is very comforting to know that as I wander from race to race I am no longer lost, I always have a home to come back to! So take a chance...walk on in, meet the coaches, meet the family...and never look back...that's what I did and my life has been changed forever! :) read more

CrossFit Valkyrie - ~"Always Earned, Never Given"~ - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - ELMSFORD, New York

Awesome place! Life changing for many, including myself. Caring and inspiring coaches and overall atmosphere. They're great at showing you proper exercise techniques and informing you of overall healthy living. It's not just a gym, it's a family. read more

I can't begin to describe the comfortable, supportive atmosphere that this Valkyrie offers. I am really overweight and it took me two years to walk through that door. I did so after a very encouraging email from the owner who then tailored my first work out while I worked amongst other Crossfitters and talked to me after class, answering any questions I had. As someone desperately in need of a supportive environment, a gym is not enough, and this is definitely NOT just a gym. If you're looking for a way to work out, this is the place. If you are overweight, or obese even, don't hesitate to contact Mike, or just walk through the door, you won't regret it! read more

Since moving to Westchester last fall, Valkyrie has proven to be my single greatest 'find' and helped with the culture shock being experienced by a recovering Manhattanite. The management and staff bring to bear their rather unique backgrounds to provide a dynamic and controlled environment that builds physical fitness as well as character. The classes are thoughtfully constructed to combine strength training/coordination, dynamic stretching and mobility and cardiovascular training. Mike and team have also taken to finding opportunities outside of the gym walls to push our limits, develop new life skills and build camaraderie (i.e. rucking, rock climbing, self defense). Finally, the athlete members are great (and by that I mean good people) and reinforce the qualities of box, it's owners and staff. I cannot possibly say enough good things about this group. read more

Let me tell you about my favorite home away from home aka crossfit Valkyrie. Not only are the coaches some of the nicest and friendliest people I have met but this place is a family. Ever since my boyfriend and I started going to this box we look forward to every workout - whether it's 8:30 at night after a long day at work or 8 am on a Saturday morning. The workouts are fun and challenging - the soreness is real! The coaches are focused on mobility and always ask "How do you feel?" and if any part of you is less than 100% they will dedicate their time to show you stretches and exercises to get you back to normal. Fitness is an important part of my life and I don't see myself working out anywhere but here.For those looking for a box to start their new fitness journey you won't regret joining crossfit Valkyrie. read more

I joined CF Valkyrie in October 2013. I was looking for something new and exciting and to also get me back into shape after being sidelined for a few years due to some major surgery. CrossFit Valkyrie is definitely as good as it gets! From the start I felt really welcomed and all of the coaches are both passionate and always looking for ways to give you the results that you want. These guys mean business. They kick your butt, keep you motivated all in a short amount of time. No more working out for 2 hours in a regular gym alone, unmotivated and doing a repetitive workout everyday with minimal results! CrossFit Valkyrie really is building a fit community and these guys REALLY care about you, not just your money like MANY other CF boxes around. They are genuinely nice people that are passionate about fitness, health and every single one of their members. I was overwhelmed by how truly concerned they are with educating you about living a "healthy lifestyle" and not just pumping weights and having a lot of members. The coaches aren't just there to yell at you and get you through the workout; they place a huge priority on form and accuracy so you won't get injured, and will make you scale down if your form isn't spot on. The programming is top notch and a lot of time is spent each class instructing the WOD's moves, even if the coach knows for a fact that everyone in the room has done cleans or jerks or simple things such as squats a million times already. They don't skimp on the personal attention, question answering, and discussion. In other words, it's not just about leading a workout; it's about making sure you have a deeper understanding of each move so you can actually get better, faster, and stronger. The coaches are always hands on and they truly know what they are doing. Every athlete is treated like they are the most important athlete, regardless of ability. I love this place! The community here at CF Valkyrie is also completely amazing and they have an unparalleled ability to create a welcoming atmosphere. This box has definitely become like a second family to me and there is always something going on to get involved in. CF Valkyrie is intoxicating and addictive and the members and coaches are some of the best people I have ever met. There's definitely a camaraderie at CF Valkyrie and the people around you will cheer you on and even join in alongside you to make sure you finish strong. The last person always gets the loudest cheers! As a CF Valkyrie member this box has improved my overall fitness and well being over the past 4+ months dramatically. It has changed my attitude from "I'm in no shape to do that!" to "I can do that!" I walk in the door everyday in anticipation of what will be my next " challenge" to conquer today because I know that the workout listed on that board is going to kick my A**. I have only been Crossfitting for a little over 4 months and I have already felt comfortable and confident enough to enter into a CrossFit competition in May with the full support and enthusiasm from my Valkyrie family. We all know CrossFit isn't cheap, but it is worth it to have people that really care and want to see you succeed probably more than you want succeed yourself and that is what makes it worth every dollar spent. If you're ready to get serious about improving your flexibility, mobility, cardio and core strength then you MUST make the investment in this box. You will not be disappointed but you must be determined. Your body will be shocked at first but you won't believe how much better you'll feel in a short amount of time. I promise you will be sore but you will also be coming back for more. CF Valkyrie is the place to be I can promise you that! The best in Westchester by a landslide! Also a little side note... I am a Connecticut resident and I have many CrossFit boxes within a 5 minute drive and I chose to go to Valkyrie for the simple fact that they are the only ones I felt truly cared about me and my well being and getting me the results I am looking for of and doing it the proper way. Of the 3 that I inquired about on top of Valkyrie prior to joining they were the only ones that had a mandatory 2 week on-ramp training class. This is a HUGE testament to how they run their box. Kudos to Mike, George and Martin!! You guys rock! read more

Simply the best. The vibe here comes closest to a FAMILY more than anything. Everyone here sincerely wants you to succeed. Whether its the staff or the members, everyone truly cares. The amount of knowledge they have really comes into play when you have an old injury or need scaling of some kind that is best suited for your needs and your body. All different ages and body types go here, and we all inspire each other. If you want a beautiful, riverside location where you can become the best person you really are with people who are awesome, this is your spot. LOVE the summer, spring and fall Valkyrie Voyages (like the kayaking on the Hudson) and the GoRuck partnership. There is so much here!! read more

CrossFit Valkyrie - Looking out at the beautiful sunsets we get to see at the gym! - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - ELMSFORD, New York

The two owners here are extremely rude. I told them I have a very intense training schedule with my coach - they said they would work with me. I compete in several races each season and am currently training for my 17th marathon and 2nd Ironman. I travel out of the country almost every month for work - I spent time planning a time I could go in and speak with the owner, and I informed him how busy my schedule is. I received three emails today and a very rude phone call from his business partner saying that I could call back in 6 weeks to a month to work with them. How rude is that that I spent time out of my schedule to speak with them, set aside time to go in and meet with them and then they were extremely rude today, contacted me four times and said to wait several more weeks to even go in and meet them- I definitely will not be going to this CrossFit gym. I'd rather drive out of my way to go somewhere else. read more

Walking into crossfit valkyrie is the best decision I have made in my life, in 3 months time I've gotten stronger, lost fat and I have increased confidence in myself. Mike helped me with proper nutrition advice and I've been feeling better and better everyday. I definitely recommend them if you're looking for a fun way to get in shape and meet great people! read more

I joined Crossfit Valkyrie in October 2013. It was the best decision I ever made! The coaches at Valkyrie (Mike, Mike, George, Martin) are the best around! I couldn't have asked for better coaches. These guys kick your ass and make it fun! They are AWESOME! They are extremely knowledgeable in the areas of crossfit, nutrition, fitness, and ass kicking and are great teachers. They make sure that you know how to do everything and why you are doing it and answer any questions that you may have without hesitation. They will take time to make sure that you are comfortable and understand what it is you have to do. You are a person at this box, not a number. You are welcomed with a high five, a smile and a hug every time you walk in and out of the box. All the members of the box are AWESOME. They welcomed my sister and I with open arms and have been nothing less than amazing. They are so kind and supportive and make our box so much fun to be a part of. If you are looking for AWESOME you've found it with Crossfit Valkyrie! You will NOT be disappointed! read more
