After trying out several CrossFit boxes in the nearby Piscataway, New Brunswick, Princeton areas, I stumbled upon this gem in Middlesex, NJ. Just to give you an idea of the quality of the coaches and their kindness, I went for a free class on Valentine's Day and had after the final class of the day. They ended up sticking around long enough to run me through an orientation about CrossFit, run through some basic movements, and a WOD. That memory has stuck with me and was a glimpse into just the kind of positive experience one gets from Endorphin CrossFit. I've been a member of Endorphin CrossFit for three months and I've enjoyed every minute of it. The coaches (Matt, Ian, and Bonnie, with Pat as an honorary coach) are incredibly dedicated and well-versed. Their knowledge on the topic of fitness comes through in how they work with each of us and in the passion with which they talk about it. I also greatly appreciate their open-minded approach towards learning - as they pick up on new concepts and ideas, they test and evaluate then share it with us. You can't ask more from a coach or trainer then what you get with these four folks. Additionally, the other athletes of Endorphin are some of the most welcoming and warm people. They immediately made me feel like a member of the community and the motivation that they spread to one another during WODs is overwhelming. Each workout feels more like a partnership than a competition. As for results, I can happily say that I have seen great progress in just three months. I used to strength train about 4-5 times a week at a regular gym and considered myself to be relatively strong. I've definitely made gains in strength and my lifts have become much more efficient and utilize more of the right muscle groups than they used to. I also used to be heavily dependent on an inhaler for my exercise-induced asthma but have seen improvements in my endurance. The coaches have also provided information on lifestyle changes in regard to eating, so coupling that with coming to the box 5 or 6 times a week, I've lost close to 20 pounds in the last two months. Definitely highly recommend this box and encourage you all to give it a try! The first class is free after all. read more

I've been going to this gym for about two months now and there are so many great things about this place I'm not sure I will have enough room to list them all. First and foremost, Crossfit has had a stigma attached to it as being "unsafe". I know there are some bad gyms out there where injuries do occur due to improper coaching (I.e going too heavy too soon and not learning proper form for complicated Olympic lifts). I can assure you, this is where Endorphin Crossfit sets itself apart. The coaches and owners want nothing but for everyone to succeed, be fit and to stay as far away from injury as possible. whether you can deadlift 100 or 500 lbs, They all work with you and add progressions to each work out pending on what you can handle. I consider myself a pretty strong and fit guy, having a strong background general weightlifting, am an avid obstacle course racer (Spartan race) and walked in there thinking I could pick up things pretty quickly. Well my ego was definitely "checked at the door" and they helped correct form on foundation lifts that I had been doing wrong for years! Not only that, my conditioning has gone up (24 min 5k to sub 21), my mobility and strength has skyrocketed. Ask me to do a muscle up on a set of gymnastic rings two months ago...forget it. Now, due to their programming and coaching I'm able to do them with ease. There's so much more I could write but I will finish off with this, if you're looking for a SAFE way to get really fit with a family like atmosphere (we all hang out outside of the gym as well which in my opinion makes things that much better with a sense of belonging) then this is the place for you. Yeah, crossfit is expensive, but you get top notch training, personal training (you'd normally pay over 100 anyways a week for PT at a commercial gym) and a great sense of community and motivation that is often lacking at other fitness establishments. Try it out, I promise you won't regret it! read more

Endorphin CrossFit is about bringing together people from all different backgrounds with all different fitness levels. If you have not "CrossFitted" before, do not be scared. The hardest part is walking through the door for the first time. After you have met the community and understand that they are non threatening and as supportive as can be, you will understand why there is nothing to be scared of. Workouts can be performed by anybody at any age and any fitness level because they are custom tailored to the individual. If you are an experienced CrossFitter, this is also the place for you. Although it is often overlooked, the number one differentiator from Regional and Games competitors to the average athlete is actually their strength and muscular endurance. Sure, skill work is necessary to get to the upper echelon of the sport but the reality is that if you are strong, you can perform a muscle up or a heavy snatch without an issue. Without strength, even with the best technique, you are left behind. Strength makes lifts (and wins competitions), technique saves lifts (and is the tie breaker in competitions when strength levels are similar or equal). Endorphin CrossFit's dedicated, progressive strength program and MetCon programming will get you the strength and skills that you need to compete at a high level. Trainers are constantly improving themselves by attending competitions and seminars like Jon North's Attitude Nation, Kendrick Farris's Bless the Gym, Juggernaut Training Systems powerlifting seminar, USA Weightlifting Seminars, CrossFit Seminars, yoga seminars, and many more. read more

After being diagnosed with Diabetes at the begining of this year, I was getting desperate to get fit, lose some pounds and bring my numbers to normal. I always have had a membership to a Gym without real motivation to go to one and showing no results all these years. I went to Endorphin in July after getting a Groupon for 6 classes...let me tell you after Class One I was sold. Endorphin Crossfit box is awesome...for the first 4 classes Ian spent one on one time patiently explaining the form and various exercises and most importantly the right nutrition. I am a regular at this box and all the coaches (Ian, Bonnie, Matt, Pat & Pip) are freaking awesome. They constantly work with you on the form and motivate you to bring the best out of you. All of them have worked real hard to create a genuine atmosphere at the box where everybody encourages and helps each other. To join Endorphin Crossfit has been the best decision of my life. After 3 months, I have never been as fit in my entire life (still have a long way to go)...my diabetes numbers are down to normal level. Do yourself a favor and make one trip to Endorphin, it will change your life and guaranteed it will not be the last trip! I am proud to be a part ot Endorphin Crossfit Family.. read more

I joined up at Endorphin Crossfit late in the summer this year. The coaches at Endorhphin are what sold me on this box. Not only are they very well versed in all the movements associated with the daily workouts, but they also take time to properly make sure their athletes are warmed up prior and cooled down after each workout. Coming off a major surgery this past september, the coaches took their time to learn about my injury, what my limitations were and they helped me each day with substituting movements that were functional and safe for me to perform while injured. Being almost 2 months out from surgery i can honestly say i feel amazing and alot of my thanks goes to my coaches at Endorphin. Ian,Bonnie,Matt,Pat,Pip are great coaches and good people. If you are thinking about trying Crossfit, come check out this box.. You will be instructed/coached and made to feel very comfortable with the existing members.. read more

This is an amazing CrossFit in Middlesex! I learned more in the first few months as a member, than I ever learned on my own from working out for 10+ years. In my short time at this Fitness Center, I have seen the numbers of my main lifts (Deadlift, Squat, Bench, etc) increase at a steady pace- as well as doing things I never dreamed of before (handstands, handstand pushups, etc.). I can definitely tell that I am more fit, and leaner in my short time here, than when I was working out by myself. ALL of the coaches care about each athlete, both at the Gym and outside of it. They stress correct form on every single movement, and if you cannot do it, they will happily suggest modifications. I have been to other CrossFits, and this one by far is the best. It is more than just a Gym! Plus, we do fun things like Rope Climbs, Tire Flips, and Tug of War :) read more

My husband and I just started working out a month ago at Endorphin CrossFit and we are hooked! The first day we walked through the door we were both terribly out of shape and a bit nervous if we would be able to keep up. The trainers were amazing, helping us with every move, making sure we were doing each workout correctly and most importantly safely. Every member of the gym is beyond friendly and more than happy to stop and lend a helping hand whenever is needed, cheer you on, and help push you to that next level. It truly has a family feel. A month in and we have both improved drastically, and cannot wait to see how far we can go! The added energy and improved mood has also been a welcome benefit! Highly recommend this box read more

I'm so glad I stumbled across this place. I was nervous about joining crossfit because I've never even been to a gym before and I was scared of getting hurt, because I heard some horror stories. The trainers at Endorphin really care about your form, and teaching you techniques safely. They've taken the time to scale my workouts, so they never have me do something I CAN'T do, but I still get an AMAZING workout. They even took the time to go over nutrition with me. I've only been going a few weeks and I all ready feel stronger, and I'm finally starting to break a weightloss plateau I've been on forever. This place was just what I needed. It's now my favorite part of the day. Please just come you won't regret it! read more

With a past in gymnastics and ballet, I was looking for a new type of workout that would challenge me more than my local gym. Starting Crossfit has changed my life and the best decision I made was joining with Endorphin of Middlesex. I have been a loyal member for about 5 months now and I'm in the best shape I have ever been in! Comfortable atmosphere, dedicated coaches (Bonnie, Ian, Pat, Pip, Eric.) The coaches go above and beyond to help you reach your personal goals. Extremely satisfied and well worth a try! read more

Awesome box. Take all the complaints about CrossFit and throw them out. The team here is professional and attentive. They stress form first, and after 6 months I'm showing results. There's a great balance of weight training, met-cons and skill development to keep you getting better. I learn every day. It sucks because my pants don't fit, my suits are baggy, and I have tons of energy. Guess I need a new wardrobe. read more

First time trying crossfit was when this place opened back in November, and I've been hooked ever since! Amazing trainers, great location, and everyone who works out there is just really supportive and motivating - you'll push yourself and start to see amazing results pretty quickly! read more

We visited this gym on a trip to nj. Ian is really knowledgable and spends time with everybody. I would advise writing an email before popping in, but they will be happy to see you. Plan to be a little longer than an hour, and to get your butt kicked. read more

Endorphin Crossfit is great. They teach you first then train you. I am in great shape now. Thanks Bonnie and staff!

Ian & Bonnie are professional and knowledgeable, creating a great environment along with an amazing workout
