I usually only like weight lifting, and was initially a little bit reluctant to try something new....but damn. This was one of the best decisions i've made lately. WillyB Crossfit was everything I was looking for in a crossfit class. The instructors all brought their own personal styles and knowledge to all of the classes which helped to shake things up and stop anyone from getting bored. Being completely new to the world of crossfit I also had some issues with being intimidated to all the new stuff I was going to have to learn, but everyone (instructors as well as other people in my classes) was very approachable and was quick to assist with any questions or concerns I had. Lastly, and most importantly, I am a person with a disability. One of my main concerns was not being integrated into the classes with other able bodied people. This ended up never being an issue because everyone at WillyB took the time to work with me personally to adapt our daily WOD's and warm-ups to something that was realistic but still challenging for my body. If you are on the fence about diving into the world of crossfit I can honestly think of no better place to start with than WillyB Crossfit. read more

Was here since the end of last year but now leaving because of moving. Overall I feel like I've got stronger than before, and have known more about how to make it most efficient of my energy and strength. The coaches were very encouraging and helpful. Some of my fav: Will (hilarious & every time was a good workout), Abbee (encouraging & help me challenge myself), Jeff(very professional & nice). Things that could be improved: showers (I didn't need it cuz I lived in the neighborhood), changing rooms, stronger AC Thank you all and wish you all the best! -Tammy read more

I've been a member here for over a year now, specifically for the barbell class, and it's the best in my opinion. Nick is one of the best and knowledgeable barbell coach you'll find (I folllowed him to L Train - it's pretty out of my way but it's worth it). I love how they have a separate oly lifting platform on the bottom floor and have pretty good equipment and weight. The programming is pretty awesome too as each barbell cycle is different and depending on the class, members, and what's been done, it's tailored to continue helping members improve. The thing I love most about the barbell class is that my technique has gotten tremendously better and it shows. As for the facility, it's what you'd expect from a box and they have nice options. They have a locker/changing/warm-up area on the top floor. The main floor is where the WODs happens while the bottom floor is for the oly lifting class. Come check it out - you won't be disappointed! read more

I might be biased because LTrain was my first "box" (anti-fancy Crossfit term for the gym), but this is as good as it gets. I fully credit them for taking me from very hesitant first timer to someone who'll push to "finish strong" every WOD. This is a great place to experience Crossfit for the first time. The coaches are super careful to ensure you use proper form, don't overload or do anything else that might hurt you. They always offer a scale of exercises so you can build up to the harder movements and do a great job with warm ups and stretching after the workout (this is *key*, and not every box does it properly.) Both of the boxes I frequented (Grand Ave and Meserole) had plenty of material, so it never felt cramped. Huge shout out to the coaches (Cavan, Josh, Steph, Abee, Megan... and anyone else I might forget) for being so friendly and attentive while still pushing for constant improvement. read more

This place is awesome. I was out of shape for several months before joining Ltrain, and was a bit self-conscious about starting up a workout routine that is notorious for being rigorous. The staff (shout out to Steph and Josh) couldn't be friendlier and more helpful with getting me started up - not only did they make me feel incredibly welcome (which only further encouraged me to come in as often as I could), they took a lot of time to walk us through new exercises. Crossfit is definitely rigorous, but the staff at Ltrain made it fun and the camaraderie with everybody else in the class made it feel like we were all in it together. In my first 6 weeks working out here, I dropped a ton of weight and started to look a lot more cut - albeit I did it with their suggested paleo diet (great combo to do with xfit!) Overall, it stinks that I'm moving out of NYC and will have to leave this gym, but honestly I couldn't heap on further praises for these guys - keep doing what you're doing! read more

So, I was instructed to come here for to interview for a FREE 6 week challenge. Not only is it not free, it's actually $500. So, please don't waste your time if you're coming for that purpose. Also, while waiting, I got to see one of the coaches in action and it's definitely not a place I'd want to be a part of. Also, you can get a $100 Groupon for CrossFit Hell's Kitchen for 30 days UNLIMITED. That's what I'll be doing! read more

The space is very dirty. Despite the presence of multiple staff members at the desk, there is no greeting upon entry; new visitors are left to figure out where stuff is on their own. I was directed to a bathroom to change in, despite the fact that the facility is supposed to have changing rooms and showers. The bathroom was cramped and filthy. Instructors were still milling about / talking 10 minutes after class was supposed to begin. Not recommended. read more

I can't believe I'm going to put this in writing but I love crossfit. Yes, I said love. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would enjoy such challenging but rewarding workouts in my life. The team at L Train is super knowledgeable, approachable, and actually care about their members and the community they are building. I was never one for group fitness classes but after attending crossfit classes for the past few months I am a changed woman. There are three floors, the main for crossfit / foundation classes, lockers and additional machines upstairs and a barbell (weightlifting) room in the basement, with a bathrooms on all three floors. I've been to a handful of other crossfit gyms and L Train is definitely the cleanest and the only one I've been to with an AC. Don't get me wrong these classes are hard work but I have never seen such positive results not only in my physical appearance but in my overall confidence. I've dropped two dress sizes and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in in my entire life. They also have monthly events for their members such as BBQs, charity walks, Spartan Races/other fitness events, and we just had our first Ladies' Night Out. It's a great place to challenge yourself, have some laughs, and meet some great people. I highly recommend! read more

It's been almost a year now since I started. WillyB is still my home for CrossFit. I love it more than ever, work harder than ever and I come here to do it. Great coaches, awesome support both in the gym and over the phone if needed. I never did gym stuff before but now I am in their 3x a week. More if possible. read more

Not crazy about this place. Wasn't clean and I was told we weren't allowed to drink water during the 20 minutes HIIT. I don't remember my instructors name but he left a sour taste in my mouth. read more

I feel sorry to leave a bad review here, but they have left us no choice. I have had the worst customer service I ever experience in many many years. Here is the story: Two months ago I booked two 10-times punch cards from them, one for me and the other one for my wife. We liked the training. But after my wife used her ten times, she didn't want to go anymore because she has a free gym at school and doesn't want to spend the extra money. So very naturally we thought we could just stop going because WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO AUTO-RENEW A PUNCH CARD. 2 weeks after, when I was checking back my billing history I found out that at the day my wife used up her 10times punch card, CrossFit auto-renewed her punchcard and charged us $225. Well, until this point I thought a refund is guaranteed, we haven't used the new card at all, and we were completely unaware of the auto-renew. It is just reasonable to refund a customer who didn't read through your excellent terms. But the shitty part came, they just refuse to refund us and kept telling us the terms are clear?! Excuse me, can you tell me when is the last time you read all the terms & conditions like you were reading a text book when you made a purchase? AND who the hell auto-renew a punch card? Isn't the purpose of buying a punch card instead of a monthly subscription to try out things instead of a full commitment? Anyways, the process of communication has been painful, and I just hope this won't happen to anyone anymore. If you do see this, please don't make punch-card auto-renew and save the trouble of other customers contacting you for cancellation. Thank you. read more

First time here! Had such a great experience the program and staff are amazing. Highly recommend it!

WillyB's 6 week program really helped me get back to the shape I wanted to be in. The coaches were quite helpful and their meal plan gave me some wonderful guidance. read more

Great coaches and community. Multiple location access provides a lot of variety and flexibility. My life has been bettered in many ways since joining this community read more

Before L-Train I was unmotivated to even think about working out. I was coming off of a two year long injury and needed to really get back in shape. Through a divine process, I stumbled upon this box. At first, and for someone being a life long athlete, I was intimidated. But, I took it easy and the team here really guided me through the process, and are very hands on. That was two years and 30lbs lost ago and I couldn't be happier to have stumbled into this amazing atmosphere of coaches and like minded people, motivated towards fitness. read more

Let's start from the top... the instructors are top notch and so educated it was refreshing and I felt so safe! The gym is clean, organized and just felt like home! Thank you for being such a great, effective and fun environment! read more

Don't waste your time because they'll waste yours! I had an appointment with Jared to meet at 6pm for a consultation on New Year's Day. I showed up for the 6pm appointment and the place was closed. When I followed up, I was told they had rescheduled my appointment same day through e-mail. Why would you not call to reschedule an appointment, especially if you're doing so only a few hours before the scheduled meeting? To make matters worse, he lied and said the gym was open until 6:20pm that day. I arrived well before that time and the place was already closed. When I finally found his e-mail asking to reschedule, he stated that the gym would be closing at 4:30pm that day. His behavior was totally unprofessional. After all that, he actually suggested I come in on another day for the consult! As if I would want to give him the opportunity to waste my time again. I suggested we do the consult over the phone instead and he never even bothered to respond. On another note, I made an appointment with Alex at the Soho Crossfit gym and she was so incredibly helpful. I recommend going to the Soho gym or another location over this one! read more

Initially, I saw this 6 wk challenge on Instagram. It kept popping up on my feed and one day I just decided to click on the link and sign up. Like many other people, I needed a lifestyle change. I wanted to feel good about my body again and also show myself that the change that I envision is obtainable. After filling out the form, I scheduled an interview with my personalized coach Cavan at 667 Grand Street. Cavan was very receptive to my concerns, my questions, what my goals were for myself in regards to living a healthier lifestyle, even if that meant reaching my ultimate goal of being on my favorite show, American Ninja Warrior!!! This interview felt warm and inviting unlike other gyms in which you feel like another number. The sincerity that Cavan presented was everything I needed to join! But, when I tell you I thought I knew what was about to happen, I did not have a clue. My first class I signed up for was a HIIT class and boy did it HIIT!! I didn't know my heart could beat so fast without popping out my chest. Knowing that your unfit vs actually working out and seeing tangible data of how unfit you are is kind of scary. I knew after that 1st class that I had no other choice but to commit. That was Week 1. As the weeks rolled by, I kept pushing. Each week, Cavan sent a text message to encourage and also inquire on how everything was going. Being so busy, I didn't respond back to every text..sorry lol..but it made me feel like I was apart of a community. All the instructors are great at what they do. They each have different personalities but they all have one goal in mind..to push you pass what is comfortable and I learned this. Their job to make me better, only encouraged me to be better. There are no pity parties during the 1hr of training, there are no I can't do it, there is no giving up, there is only the mindset of, "I can do one more rep, or I can run this last stretch or I can lift this weight." That is what I loved about WillyB Fit! At the end of Week 6, I reached my goal of losing 6% BODY fat!!!! I'm still in awe but I did it and it's because of the team I am connected to ( I definitely had to become a member!) So, this review is for the women (and men) who are not accepting things the way they are. If you want a change, with time and consistency and a good foundation, you can accomplish whatever you set out to do. Thank you again WillyB Crossfit!!! read more

Currently doing a 6 week challenge. Some of the best workouts. It's in a group setting the people come there to work! So if I need motivation all I have to do is look around. Jared means busines! He is awesome he teaches as well as trains. My best advice don't be late unless you like burpees! read more

Before I joined Ltrain Crossfit (last June), it had been almost 15 years since I trained at a gym, so of course I was quite intimidated the first day of my 6-week challenge. I'm not going to lie, my first couple of workouts were disastrous (on my part). After taking a week and a half off, I reluctantly returned and because of the amazing trainers and staff, I haven't stopped going. The owners, Coaches Jared and Grig, are always available to answer any questions I may have, no matter what time it is. They are very professional and encouraging. Now, not only do I take 3 classes a week religiously but I've also added one-on-one training sessions to my routine with Coach Josh and I could not be happier! I cannot thank them enough for helping me with reaching my personal goals. I would highly recommend Ltrain Xfit! read more

Best box in BK! Great classes. Knowledgable, tough coaches. Perfect place to start your CrossFit journey

I signed up for an interview for a 6 week "life-changing" program. A computer texted me in the morning confirming my appointment and then when I traveled to the gym it was closed and no one picked up the phone. Fortunately, I already exercise consistently but if I were someone who was trying to profoundly change my habits this would have been very discouraging. Definitely do not plan on going back! read more

This review is also regarding Jared, the same person mentioned in the other 1 star review. I purchased a 10 time membership and used 9 times. I loved all the trainers and classmates, all very friendly and helpful. There was one time I couldn't attend due to medical emergency. I received an email warning with a 5 dollar fine, which I thought was fair. When I tried booking my last(10th) class, the system automatically renewed me for another 10 time membership which I have no intention of purchasing. I emailed about the system mistake, and was informed by Jared that all sales are final this is what I deserved for one no-show. Truly disappointing client service. read more

I've shopped around for gyms in NYC for a while now and I have to say this is the first that I'm very satisfied with. The owners are both very personable and helpful. I had signed up for the six week challenge which is perfect if you're a beginner and you don't know where to get started with Crossfit. It's a group class, and you wind up getting to know the people you see there regularly which makes it more fun. The instructors (Jared and Matt) do a great job of explaining all the movements to you so you don't hurt yourself. However I would argue that Jared's class is definitely more challenging (sorry Matt! Still loved your class). This place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Leaving my review on this location because there are actually 3 locations under same business--Newel St, Meserole st, and Grand st. I signed up for the "free" 6-week challenge, which is only free (not e100% sure of this) if you meet their goal requirements. Just FYI, it's actually $500, then you do the challenge to meet their requirements (lose 25 lbs or 6% body fat in 6 wks) and they decide if you get your money back (Hopefully you do!). I had some sidetracks which derailed my challenge. So, here's what I have to say--I was pumped, and very motivated at first, and everyone is super supportive, and awesome...I did well up to 4 weeks into it, but then diagnosed with a knee issue that became painful, and a travel work assignment, so I did not finish the challenge. I am at a lower level with fitness, so most of the coaches were pretty great and sensitive to my needs, except JARED (the co-founder/head coach)--who "does not allow you to drink water during your workout" (I'm guessing he's a doctor ;-) )...so, my advice? If you're into dehydration, sign up for classes with him. All other coaches are great and into allowing water consumption--Cavan, Abbee, Will, Beau--all awesome, supportive, and patient. Also, Newel street location was not clean--floors, bathrooms, etc and also no AC, Grand St location had AC. read more
