Where should I begin... This gym (or 'box' to the Crossfit world) is amazing!!! As a two year…read moreCrossfitter in Newport, RI to a 'thinking I could do it on my own for a couple years at a Planet Fitness"... I have nothing but high remarks for this gym and getting me back to the workouts I love/hate so much. I was hesitant for longer than I'd like to admit at getting back into Crossfit due to a) the cost [to be discussed]; b) the fact I felt out of 'crossfit shape'; and c) I didn't know a single crossfitting soul in the area... Let me work through each of these points... a) the cost- I feel like every person always looks up the cost for Crossfit, and if they have no experience with it, immediately look the other way. Let's just put that to rest. Crossfit may be more expensive than your typical gym membership, but it's also worth every.single.penny. And if you break it down, the cost per class is not only reasonable but cheaper than using a personal trainer. I justify it to myself this way... I'm investing in my well-being and health. Can I do this other places? Sure, but here, I have someone walking me through movements to make sure I am doing them correctly/efficiently and I have someone pushing me in a supportive fashion to reach individual goals. Also, in my justification process, I'm MUCH more apt to hold myself accountable to show up to class on a regular basis with a $ investment, than I am to go to other gyms which only takes $10-20 out of my pocket... b) Crossfit Shape- another theory to be put to rest immediately. This theory actually kept me from originally joining Crossfit altogether for way too long. There's no such thing. You show up, and the coaches work WITH you and modify movements as needed to build on. In my first classes here, I was SO nervous for some of the movements, as I hadn't done them in forever, but these coaches know how to settle those nerves instantly. Each movement is recapped prior to ever touching the bar regardless if they know every person in the class 'knows the movement/lift' or not. Step by step they go over the lifts and ask you to do each of those sections (most times with a PVC pipe) to ensure you are doing the movement correctly... once that is satisfied they'll add onto that movement and so forth... building you up to comfort using a barbell and adding weight as you can. It honestly doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a regular, I've never felt out of place even if the person next to me has the move mastered. The coaches work with you and your personal needs/strengths/weaknesses. [to be discussed more in a minute] c) Not knowing anyone- I consider myself a pretty outgoing/social person, but even I had nerves walking into the gym and not knowing a single soul. Amanda, the owner, immediately quashed those feelings. She greeted me as soon as I walked in, gave me a tour, introduced me to the classes coach and the butterflies disappeared. The Coach made sure I was introduced to everyone, and everyone was SO welcoming, to a point I felt as though I had been going here for months now. Crossfit Torque has been an amazing experience and I am so glad I decided to finally join and get back into it. The workouts will push you and test you, and make you finish thinking 'holy crap I just did that'. The coaches will work with you if you need modification on ANY movement. If you have any pains, they'll make sure you don't jump back into movements that could continue the injury until you're ready. There is legitimately all ages and skill levels here, and everyone is beyond supportive, and encouraging. I actually look forward to having my ass kicked daily. Crossfit Torque also offers for small fees additional opportunities for its members to learn and excel in certain skills should they so choose. They bring in additional coaches for Olympic Lifting, Dynamic Drive, Jump Rope, and other opportunities that benefit the members. This gym really is like an additional family, I can't say enough good things about them and the Crossfit community. Everyone jokes about Crossfit being a cult workout group and drinking the Crossfit Koolaid.. and it's really nothing more than a group of people, wanting to work their individual hardest, with a supportive group of people, under knowledgeable coaches... there's nothing cult-ish about it. I dare you to join and prove me wrong. So long story short :) If you're in the area or passing through... take the time to come and check out Crossfit Torque... I HIGHLY recommend them!

If you have not done crossfit before, you are missing out!!! "CrossFit is a strength and…read moreconditioning system built on constantly varied, if not seemingly randomized, functional movements executed at high intensity. It combines weightlifting, gymnastics, sprinting, rowing, kettlebell training, plyometrics, powerlifting, and medicine ball training. Our objective is to become proficient in all ten physical skills: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, coordination, power, agility, balance, accuracy, and speed. The WOD (workout of the day) is always different and can be modified to meet the needs of any athlete, regardless of age, ability, and fitness level." I recently joined and have already notice a difference! The people you meet, the drive to exercise, the support while your there and when your not (people reminding you that you did not show up!). Bill, Beau, and Luigi are awesome! Every class is well structured and you always learn something new! If you want to take your body to the next level and really get in-shape crossfit is for you!!

When I initially started taking classes at Evolve Bootcamp I was intimidated because I was really…read moreout of shape. A sedentary job and an overindulgent diet weren't doing my figure any favors. In the past, I've been one of those people who gets bored easily with one type of exercise- I had done a couch to 5k program, only to promptly revert to couch potato status after completing it. Considering my husband once jokingly said that one of my favorite hobbies is sleeping, motivating myself to stick to a class that meets 3 times a week at 6 AM, rain or shine, seemed pretty unlikely. But there was a Yelp deal, so I figured that I'd give it a go. Surprisingly, I'm going into my 3rd month of Evolve Bootcamp, and I don't want to quit. Shelley is a creative and knowledgeable coach, and I find that I am never bored thanks to the wide variety of exercises that she incorporates into the classes. And the workouts are effective and will get you results. My cardiovascular fitness and strength have noticeably improved. I feel less sluggish and more alert at work. My family has remarked that they've seen a positive change in the way my body looks, and that feels awesome! The classes are small enough where everyone gets personal attention. Shelley will correct your form if needed so that you stay safe, and she will definitely provide modifications if it looks like you're not being challenged enough (nobody gets off easy). The fellow bootcampers are laid back, and unlike upscale fitness studios, nobody cares what you're wearing, how old or young you are, or whether you're a gal or a guy. If you're considering attending, DO IT! Logistical notes: 1) There is a place where you can safely store a small bag (ie: change of clothes) if needed. I have to go to work immediately after the morning sessions, so not being able to bring a bag would be a dealbreaker for me. 2) Be prepared to get very sweaty and possibly dirty. 3) Prices, especially for returning bootcampers, are excellent compared to other area bootcamps.

She mixes up the exercises and really focuses on movements that provide equivalent results to workouts I have done using machines or weights at the gym. I felt and saw results after just a few classes. Shelley really pays attention to form and demonstrates each movement and gives tips on how to do the workouts safely. I cannot think of a better way to get to know the green spaces in Boston than working out with Shelley and fellow bootcampers!

Finally, Kathryn is just such a very warm and friendly person all around.

I have never met 3 individuals who care so much about the success of their members as these 3. The time that they invest into the programming, the facility and the future of the gym is incredible. I have taken several Olympic lifting sessions over the years, and the one at Mass MVMNT coached by Pat Hanley has been truly exceptional. Pat's attention to detail and dedication to the sport and to his athletes is second to none. When I first started this Oly session, I was unable to squat, like at all. With Pat's help & unwavering support, I can now squat below parallel, with no pain. It's hard for me to describe what kind of gains I've had in this class, because they are so incredible. My body just moves better and my thought process regarding these lifts is so much healthier. I can't thank Pat enough for igniting a fire in me to become a better athlete, and take this sport more seriously. He has the patience of an angel (not kidding! Our class certainly gave him a run for his money) & so much knowledge. The staff, the community, everyone gives off such a great vibe & I look forward to showing up to class each day. If you haven't taken a class yet, I urge you to give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
