My husband and I decided to drop in earlier this week. To be honest, I was a bit intimidated to…read moretake a class here since Invictus is known for having great competitive athletes. I was pleasantly surprised with all the friendly and encouraging members, and the fun and challenging WOD. I struggle with snatches, but Coach Heidi was super helpful in providing feedback about my form. I highly recommend Crossfit Invictus. We hope to stop by whenever we're in Boston!

There are a lot of great things about this gym, but I think my favorite thing is the people.

I worked out for a year here and was sad to leave as I was moving out of the area. I had been doing…read morecrossfit for a year before then, and for my year at Commonwealth my technique improved immensely. The coaches like Brian, Larry and Abby are sticklers for technique, but as a result help you build safer foundations for movements. For example, I hadn't realized that I was basically throwing myself at the wall for handstand pushups when there was a much safer way of getting up on the wall, which then later allowed me to complete hand stand walks! People at this gym are great as well, laid back and relaxed. It's a great place to work out!

Crossfit 617 has everything you want in a box - great coaching, vtight knit community, loads of…read moreequipment, solid programming, and plenty of space. After spending COVID working out in my garage, I was missed having a community to keep me motivated in my workouts and 617 really delivered after I dropped in to check them out. I especially appreciate the programming at 617. Unlike other boxes that are geared towards advanced athletes, I find 617 to have a nice mix of movements with reps and weights that scale well across a broad spectrum of people. More emphasis on cardio as well. Other notes. It's easy to miss the building if you are visiting for the first time so look for the blue warehouse looking building sitting below the road. Also during busy classes, usually the morning ones, the parking lot can get quite busy and not fit enough cars. There is a lot in the park next door you can use and walk over.

I recently had a behind-the-scenes tour of CrossFit 617, and it had all the makings of an amazing…read moreplace to work out. The high ceiling lends itself to an open, airy and inviting atmosphere to work out in. The equipment itself - from free weights, to medicine balls, to bikes, are all in excellent shape. There's even an outdoor section, complete with rope climbs, tire flips, peg climbs, and other cool things I can only dream about watching on Ninja Warrior. However, as someone who's been to countless gyms in the past, what really makes or breaks a gym is its people - both the owners/management and the clientele. By this same token, what sets CrossFit 617 apart is its people. I had a chance to sit in on a class the following day - the sense of community and camaraderie between the instructors and clients was evident from the start. Everyone goes out of their way to make each other feel part of the family so to speak, and that goes a long way.

Interesting experience but great workout. My friend and I…read moredo lots of drop in fitness classes. I'd say we are both pretty fit. She is a personal trainer and I am signed up for two different fitness classes throughout the week so the pace of the class worked well for us and was a great challenge. While it was a great workout, I can't even tell you what was going on in that 50 minutes. The music was unbearably loud. The instructor's mic was even louder and all any of it sounded like was noise. The coach was fine, but he didn't really coach? Everyone was expected to be doing the same thing, which is unrealistic. From my perspective, if you don't run, there's no point in taking the class because Barry's coaches the treadmill for runners only? The most unique part of our Barry's journey was the fact that no one wiped down equipment... no one wiped down their treadmill after we switched to the floor and I understood this until the END. I assumed we all would wipe EVERYTHING down at the end. Nope. Everyone just walked out. My friend and I stayed after to change and freshen up, but I never saw anyone go in and wipe any equipment down. That's kind of gross but what do I know? We should we wiping down equipment throughout class just to be safe rather than sorry. I know I would be open to taking another class, but still would love to know how these classes are formatted because it feels like the coach is just shouting random things and you kinda have to keep up or you're screwed.

After months of stalling I finally joined 1 September. The only thing I can say is that I wish I…read morehad joined much sooner. The coaches are top notch and the people who train here are incredible. I honestly was taken a back at first by the support everyone gives to one another during a workout. You obviously don't get this at your typical gym so it takes some getting used to but the results it produces are incredible. I would strongly recommend CFE to anyone looking to give it try. If you're dragging your feet, stop, and get after it. You won't regret it.

White Wolf is the best! I joined in August and am so happy I did. The group strength classes are…read morechallenging but manageable and the trainers are always there to provide feedback and corrections. Joe, the owner, is almost always around and the trainers he hires are knowledgable, supportive, and friendly. I started weight lifting at home with some dumbbells during the pandemic and was a little nervous about joining a 'real' gym but I didn't need to be - I really appreciated how welcoming everyone was and how it really feels like a community, even when you're brand new. I also worked with one of the trainers, Theresa, specifically on nutrition. She rocks as well!

Food and fitness is not always a harmonious marriage, but they go hand in hand. For the last month,…read moreI've been an official member of White wolf gym in Salem. After giving birth to burrito last year Phil and I rediscovered our love for food on the Northshore. We realized we were eating out almost every day and decided to capitalize on it by documenting our meals and experiences. The more restaurants we visited and reviewed, the more we wanted to share with our friends and family. This quickly became part of our routine. After doing this for several months, I realized this was supper counterproductive to losing the baby weight and overall health. I started going for 30min walks every day, and when that became super boring, I signed up for planet fitness, and when that didn't yield any results, I started taking yoga classes sporadically. I wasn't able to keep up with any of these for one reason or another, so I decided to move on to something new. As our blog grew and the length of time I spent on Instagram increased, I started to notice this gym pop up on friends' pages or in my feed sometimes in other friends' stories. White wolf seemed to be sending me subliminal messages. I spent weeks creeping and basically stalking their content before I finally decided to DM Joe, the owner. He invited me in to do a 2-week, and the rest is history. Phil and I are still working out some kinks in our routine, and the struggle to attend classes consistently is still there. But there's nothing like taking one of Joe's classes. This gym is the embodiment of Cross training. And Joe always keeps it interesting. I have yet to be bored or come out of a class feeling like I wish I never came. What does happen is your motivation is ignited. I'm continually hearing other members talk about how much stronger they are since coming here or sharing words of encouragement to stick with it and be consistent results will occur. When something in your life is changing you for the better, I feel like you have to share it!

That location featured coaches who competed in the CrossFit games, which was very cool, but would be cooler if my skill level was higher. I have been to RBP for 3 weeks and have received more personal attention in the classes, the clientele is more diverse in fitness level and everyone is disarmingly friendly. The owner is frequently there and takes time to speak to almost everyone it seems. It also feels like the programming is able to be scaled to my fitness level really easily without feeling like the move is useless or impossible.
