I'm going to be 57 years old soon, I am an avid runner and attended the gym faithfully four times per week, but I got to the point where I was just going through the motions. I knew I needed more, something different, and thanks so my son's encouragement to try Crossfit I've found it. Alicia and Brad, the owners at Crossfit Cut are wonderful, they get to know who you are and your personal goals so that they can encourage you to achieve them, and when you're ready to push beyond. You don't have to want to do it all or compete with others in the gym; it's all about the personal achievements you set for yourself and driving towards those goals. This weekend I'm competing in a Crossfit Challenge -- with 9 of my fellow gym members. I think you could say I'm hooked! I encourage everyone to try this gym; I know you won't be disappointed. CL

Wow! Not what I expected at all! I was overweight and…read moredesperately needed to get in shape. I had heard of Crossfit and saw all the videos of crazy athletes online and I knew that wasn't me. I also knew that I hated running and would get bored easily at a regular gym with eliptical and weight machines. I needed something new, so figured I would go to Crossfit one day, just to check it out, after all, it was free. Brad and Alicia had me do an intro session. They were extremely informative and seemed to understand when I needed encouragement and when I needed a breather. They teach and enforce proper safety, strategy, form and technique. They even taught me about proper nutrition and diet! Brad and Alicia are not only knowledgeable, but they are passionate at what they do. To this day, I'm not the fastest of the group and I'm certainly not the strongest, but I am 50 lbs lighter and much healthier than I was. I feel younger and am able to do things that I never thought I would be able to do again. Mission accomplished. Thank you Brad and Alicia!!

I had just enough stamina to make it from my desk to the closest vending machine and back. I was at my all time heaviest and needed a change, so I turned to Lauren Lauren's approach is gentle and encouraging. If you are looking for the kind of trainer who screams in your face and frightens you into compliance, look elsewhere. However, Lauren WILL challenge you. She WILL test your limits, but in a kind way. In my case, I would push myself extra because I didn't want to let her down. Lauren has her own studio. This is awesome because you don't have to worry about looking stupid in front of randos the way you would at a regular gym. I was able to really focus on exercising without feeling self conscious. The space is on the smallish side, but very well equipped, with everything needed for strength training, an exercise bike, treadmill, and a plethora of extras (balance board, bosu, stability balls, etc...) About 4 months after I initially started training, I was down 32 lbs and feeling good. My stamina and endurance had greatly improved. About 7 months after I started training, I was doing things in the gym that I thought I would never do--the kind of exercises that only "atheletes" could do. I also worked with Lauren throughout my ENTIRE pregnancy. She knew which exercises to modify and which to avoid. I was actually strength training with Lauren the very day my daughter was born. I truly believe that the training I had during my pregnancy helped me keep my strength and stamina up through labor and delivery. I don't get to train with her as much these days since I moved away from the area. However, she does provide written copies of workouts, so I still use those. If you are looking to make a change for your health, I highly recommend giving Lauren a call.

Miss Emily, Mr. Ross, and all the YMCA staff were especially helpful. Our 40" ventriloquist puppet sang "We are all here in Foxboro and we say thank you". After our Tennis Ball puppet sang our version of "Happy Happy Birthday", everyone joined in singing the traditional "Happy Birthday" to the young boy who will celebrate his birthday this month. Special thanks to the children who joined us on stage today to play our tambourines, maracas, and drumsticks in tempo with our music. Some even volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from our big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to say their first name into the microphone and try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice. We especially want to thank the male and female YMCA counselors who volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMIES, wear our male and female ventriloquist face masks, and help us sing our "No Bully Zone" (No, they did not sing at the same time... we're not that good!)

Came here for a quick workout and sauna because it's the closest Y to the Wrentham Outlet Mall,…read morewhere I dropped off my friend for her shopping expedition. What amazed me: 1. The staff member working in the fitness area (moderately sized but very nice quality equipment and lots of natural light) was actually DOING SOMETHING, i.e. walking around and putting stuff back in their proper places! Never seen that at any other Y I've been to, where staff just stand around, fiddle with their phones, and generally just use up oxygen---unless they are personal trainers working with a paying client. Not only that, the guy actually noticed that I was new and came up to me, introduced himself and offered help if I ever needed any! Absolutely flabberghasting staff behavior for a YMCA, lol! If only every Y were like this. 2. The fairly new, spacious, and coed sauna next to the pool area (there are no longer single sex saunas in the locker rooms, I was told) was actually heated to a decent temperature (190F according to the thermometer hanging on the wall at chest level) AND had two levels of seating so you could actually get a decent sweat on, as opposed to some Ys that for some boneheaded reason have only a single low bench which is completely useless because duh, heat RISES so why in the hell would you want to be sitting so low when it's already maxed out at some wimpy 150F? (Cough cough, Melrose and Framingham YMCAs.) The disadvantage of a poolside sauna though is that it's a pain to go back and forth back to the locker room shower for a cold rinse every 10-15 minutes, as opposed to a locker room sauna---but this is not a fatal flaw. 3. The treadmills were by a brand called Matrix I had never seen before and I got on one hoping that it wouldn't totally suck like the Precor treadmills---happily, it did not, though I was disappointed at how tiny the screens were after being spoiled by the huge 24" screens of the Life Fitness treadmills at my home Y in Cambridge. BUT it had one beautiful feature the big fancy LF treadmills lacked: a built in cooling fan at the top of the console, which was absolutely delightful! Wish this feature were standard on EVERY piece of gym cardio equipment, lol. Only a few minior gripes about this place: - Almost all the stationary bikes were the geriatric recumbent kind. No Keiser bikes, which are the only ones with decent ergonomics and that actually feel like you're pedaling a real bike. - Kettlebells are few and max out at 22kg, which is barely enough for one handed swings and presses, but much too light for loaded carries or two handed swings. - Oh and it'd be nice if they had some hanging boxing bags, or at least one. This is one of the things that sets the Cambridge Y apart: an abundance of free-hanging real boxing bags, not the useless water-base standing bags. This gym appears to have neither. Overall though, this is a very good Y and I will be sure to return next time I'm in the area!

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!

I like price is right for what you get. It isn't the low cost option but if you want to take classes it is a great place and a good value. The place is a typical suburban gym a mix of meatheads, highschooler, mothers, retirees, and middle aged parents. No one group dominate the place. You can see yourself when you go here. The one negative is the men's bathroom. While not the worst gym I've seen, it could use more frequent cleanings and more ventilation.
