CrossFit SPOT has been an amazing experience so far. I'm in their RX Classes, bad the workouts are intense, and challenging, which is what I'm looking for. Coach India, and ad Coach Patch are supportive, and make the workouts fun, and attentive of form, and any modifications you might need because of an injury. I'm definitely coming back time and time again

This is a great place to get fit. The teachers are friendly and attentive, and the classes will whip you into shape. There are a ton of class options in the mornings and evenings, and they have mobility classes on the weekends (which, even though I can never get to them, are a good thing when you re lifting regularly). Spot is awesome!

Great experience at SPOT. Have tried several CrossFit venues nearby Colombus Circle and this one is my absolute number one. Friendly staff, patient and professional trainers, as well as family-like members make SPOT the spot. Highly recommended!

Fun and knowledgeable instructors for the RX classes with a variety of equipment in good condition. RX classes are done upstairs and the downstairs is like.. serious bodybuilder looking people doing stuff. (I haven t tried the CrossFit classes.)

The community is super welcoming, coaches are good at giving direction and making everyone in the class feel like they re working out hard for their fitness level.
Spent a week here and would gladly come back next time I m in town.

Amazing place. It is aways clean, coaches and staff are friendly and talkative. Workouts can be tough but the couches try to push you harder and take their time to make sure you are doing it correctly. I tried their trial month, I was very happy with the results. I can't afford their regular monthly prices right now. But I can't wait to go back!

Love it here! The coaches are extremely nice and motivating. They push you hard, but the reward is outstanding. I purchased a package from groupon. The redemption is easy and they offer classes daily to accommodate most schedules. The atmosphere is not at all intimidating.

I never thought I would go in a CrossFit place but never say never! I have done only RX so far and it's been a very good experience. Quite intense but even when I am not able to complete an exercise
I don't feel bad because the spirit is simply to give your best and coaches are here to help. Coaches are great. Serious place but not pretentious. Overall a positive vibe.

I joined the 6 Week New You Challenge and it was such an incredible program filled with amazing people! The coaches definitely knew that I was capable of more challenges and I enjoyed every aspect of it! Not only did they push you towards a greater physical state, but they were also very supportive and cool! They made the class environment very comfortable so judgments were NOT allowed! They helped you out with your form and encouraged you to do your best! The fellow challengers were also supportive and very friendly! Amazing workouts and would highly recommend this place!

Thoroughly enjoying the detailed instruction and energy of the class.

I ve been hard core cardio exerciser for a long time. It s refreshing to do a strengthening workout under professional instruction on my technique in a welcoming environment. I will keep it up and can only hope to be as strong as some of the other class participants one day!

I love the place. Great instructors, challenging classes and an all round supportive environment. I've been a member since they opened and I've always been challenged by the constantly changing programing. They also listen, strive to do better and just make it an overall great place to workout.

The small gym size is a negative, but it comes with one very nice advantage... small class sizes.
With smaller class sizes you can get better and more attentive coaching. The coaches know you by name because there s at most 12 people in one class.
6:30am classes can be difficult to get into as they fill up pretty fast with pre-work gym goers but for the most part it s easy to find your way into classes if you plan.

I personally have liked the smaller class sizes and more attentive coaches...

They are also moving the CrossFit gym soon, to expand the space.

The new location is really nice the wall of windows brings in a lot of natural light and faces a landscaped courtyard. Other boxes in the city are in basements or on loud and hectic streets, but this box has a great environment/feeling. The coaches mostly all do a good job of trying to learn your name, and whenever I have had a question, their tips have really helped.

CrossFit SPOT is exactly what I needed to restart my fitness regimen. All of the coaches are accommodating and extremely friendly. After a couple of classes, the coaches knew me by name and have been really supportive. If group classes are what you need to maintain a consistent work out regimen, I highly recommend coming to CrossFit SPOT!

Crossfit was once something I avoided due to the lack of knowledge and anxiety of not belonging. This gym has changed my whole perception when it comes to the workout. Each of their coaches are highly skilled and helpful when approaching new movements. I've learned a ton and look forward to pushing myself and improving here. Take the leap. Its more than worth it!

Crossfit SPOT is amazing! As someone who does various ClassPass a few times a week, this studio is one of my favorites. Full body workout, I'm sore for days following a class. Most Crossfit locations don't allow drop ins or people without membership but SPOT does! Coach India is great, her classes are super tough but she's always very clear in explaining the work outs before we get to it. They're fun too! Highly recommend this location.

I highly recommend anyone who is reading this to sign up at CrossFit Spot!
The classes are great! Working out with a group of people really motivates me and for sure will motivate you too. Danny and Eric (two of the coaches I've workout with) are truly amazing and always push you to the next level!

Overall a positive vibe.

Cool spot. Regularly go to this gym. I can't say something about "cheap price", but all that inside this place is definitely worth it. I talk about great, friendly and smart staff, professional and very helpful coaches, who's chanhing programs are amazing, and also about general atmosphere of this place. Definetly deserve 5 stars.

This is one of those places that, to the newbie thinking of embarking on a serious fitness program, can give the impression of being a very intimidating place. After all, some of the fittest people I've seen spend time here. My initial impression however, after taking a week of classes and observing everyone's interactions - there isn't an ounce of ego in the entire Box. The sense of community, where the coaches and members alike motivate and congratulate each other for a never-before-done weight on a deadlift or a snatch for example, is amazing. This is a family run operation, and from the top-down, each and every member is supported (and pushed hard) in moving closer to their purpose of being there - the only competition that exists is the one between your present self and the person you're committed to becoming. Yes, it's hard. And I question going to the next class when every single part of my body is in pain. But I go, because I know that at some point(s) in the future I'm going to be faced with really some tough life obstacles. And my deciding today to show up to a class that'll push me beyond my perceived limits, will give me the confidence to push through whatever life throws at me in the future, either by my doing or by something out of my control. I'll see you at the next class...

I've taken 5 RX classes so far and am enjoying the whole experience. The coaches are very welcoming and are genuinely invested in their clients which is always great to see. I always feel motivated to push as hard as possible when I'm there. Space is small for a crossfit gym but SO clean. Air conditioning is A+ and is a huge added bonus for a crossfit gym. I'm looking forward to working out in the new space. RX workouts are challenging but not too crazy. Haven't tried a crossfit class yet at spot but the programming looks great.

I started taking RX classes at CrossFit SPOT about 3 weeks ago and it's honestly the highlight of my week. Working out alone doesn't always work for me, so I decided to sign up for classes here to receive the extra push I needed to successfully work out. The coaches were very welcoming and quick to learn my name, and I like that every class has a specific agenda so that we stay on track. For someone who had never taken crossfit classes, I was a little nervous at first but everyone made me feel very welcome here and push me to reach my goals every class.

I am not a costumer at the place. But by knowing how the owner treated me, you can have a idea how you will be treated.(You can also look at the other review to get a feeling)

I was walking on the sidewalk a couple of days ago outside the business, and a group of trainees at the facility were running back and forth on the sidewalk(yes, they do this outside on the sidewalk, and they do it all the time). No surprise, one of them hit me, badly. Not even saying sorry, the trainee run away. I was fine at that time, but my phone dropped on the ground and the glass was broken. While I was checking my phone, the trainee is on her way back to the business and ran pass me again. I tried to stop her, and she just ignored me, went back to the business.

I have no other option but to get in the store to ask for my justices. The business owner answered me, in a very demeaning way. I asked for the replacement of my phone glass. The owner offered to meet me half way. Being a very reasonable and generally nice person, I didn't argue and agreed. I got my phone glass repaired today, it cost me 140 dollars. And I went back to the store to ask for half of the money he promised. You know what he said? He asks me to be a trainee at his facility for two weeks! Of course I said no. Then he refused to pay me what he promised. What a credible business it is! And remember, how demeaning the guy talks. I got furious and left after some argument. You know what happened next? The owner run out of the store, and hit me again! from the back! And it is a downhill! I could have been seriously injured! And this is how the business owner treats people. Be aware !

An excellent and efficient workout! I was nervous to go at first because I have only been running and haven't been doing anything weight lifting related, so I was afraid I'd be extremely out of place and weak compared to others. I was very mistaken! The coaches show you the movements and you scale them to your comfort. Everyone is so nice and open creating a good judgement free environment where everyone is pushing themselves and encouraging others to do the same. I always leave feeling so accomplished and proud of what my body can do!

Talk about SPOT-on! Having moved from Miami to New York I was looking for a new CrossFit box to call home. Community and programming were key for me and I'm super happy with my decision to join. Clean facility, friendly service and world class athletes and trainers to help you reach your fitness goals, I highly recommend it!

CrossFitspotNYC is a great little gym on a (really far) west side in Manhattan. You do have a couple Citibike stations and a bus line running nearby to get there. But still it s a bit of a walk from Columbus Circle with wind blowing from the Hudson... Their current location is new (has been open for just about half a year during my month of membership), but the community moved from their previous location on Amsterdam Ave. I found everything I needed for my workouts there (their open gym is in the mornings and afternoons between the classes). I found their staff very friendly and welcoming, and their classes were great and include Olympic lifting and beginner CrossFit among others. They publish WODs online and project them on the wall in the studio. Their premises are kept very clean with several showers available for you to wash off your sweat. All in all I highly recommended this

Purchased the Groupon to try this gym and have had a fantastic experience. Started with a few Rx classes and then transitioned into a mix of Crossfit and Rx. The coaching and the weightlifting for beginners classes on Sundays have definitely helped to make it a smooth transition. I have enjoyed the programing and also appreciate the warm up and mobility portion of each class. Great facilities and great staff - overall have loved this spot and plan to continue my membership.

I have greatly enjoyed my time at CrossFit Spot. All the coaches are incredible and push you to your limit. However, they also take injuries very seriously and always have alternatives so you can fully participate in every class without exacerbating any injuries. I would highly recommend everyone take at least one class at this gym!

The classes are fun and all trainers I have worked with are very pleasant. They always help you to modify an ex exercise, if needed. Either you are there for CrossFit or RX, both provide a good level of intensity. Facility is clean and never packed.

Amazing people, amazing coaches! The only downside is the price, but it's cheaper than most other xfit gyms in the city so I guess that's not really a downside. I have been part of 2 other gyms in the city (crunch and equinox) and this is the first that has a community (family) that keeps you going (inside and outside the gym).

Classes: Rx (conditioning), Crossfit, Bodyweight (similar to conditioning but works on exercises using your body - headstands, hand stands, hand stand pushups, toes to bar, muscle ups), Yoga, Spot Barbell (crossfit class to perfect (or learn) the Olympic lyfts, bench press, deadlift, etc )

They also have a bring a friend program where you get a discount if someone says you referred them!

CrossFit SPOT is an amazing place. I am beyond happy that I chose to join a 6 week challenge group. The owner took his time to actually sit down with me and ask me specifically what I wanted to do and told me how he would help me to do so. Every class that I went to had amazing coaches who were so supportive of the members. Every time I walk in there, I'm greeted by super friendly staff and I can feel that they care about me being there! I am really happy to continue my journey with SPOT and know that I will achieve my goals soon.

Love how kind and encouraging everyone is I m not the strongest or fastest in any class, but I always finish the workout and feel great. The trainers are highly professional, personable and in incredible shape. Makes you want to work harder and harder for every class. Facilties are clean and organized, but ladies locker room is very small so can be a bit hectic in the morning.

I am a beginner and have really appreciated working out at CrossFit SPOT. I ve been to a couple of other boxes and can say that I ve received more attention, coaching, direction, and encouragement here than anywhere else. The coaches I have worked with are passionate about giving a good workout and making sure you are doing it correctly, which I appreciate so much because it keeps me from getting hurt and helps me to get skills that I can build on as I continue to grow! I travel from 140th to work out here because it is so worth it to me - clean facilities, good work out, incredible coaches.

I tried CrossFit Spot after moving into Manhattan, and wasn't sure how a larger box would compare to my first CrossFit gym in the suburbs. The coaches were so friendly and attentive, and they still maintain the community atmosphere of a smaller gym. I received great feedback on some of my lifts and had some great workouts! Definitely plan to go back.

I'm completely new to crossfit or any type of heavy lifting, so it was confusing the first few classes but now I have the hang of it. The trainer and class is always extremely encouraging and crossfit spot makes me really enjoy crossfit as a newbie! The shower's under renovation so the back of the facility (changing area and walkways) are a little cramped, but nonetheless I recommend coming here for some really rigorous strength training/lifting.

Excellent Crossfit box and gym! Very nice facilities (locker room, shower, lockers, etc), very knowledgable and friendly coaches, and a great two level gym setup. Only opened about a month ago, so plenty of space in the classes. Only dropped in, but have seen a lot of gyms/boxes and this one is awesome! They also use heart rate monitors and project the info on the wall during the class, which is cool and adds something extra to the workout.

We did a Drop in at Spot during our Stay in NYC. The receptionist the day before was reall nice and friendly. Showed uS. around and booked the Class for the Next day.

The Receptionist the Next day was unfriendly. Not interested in us it seemed nerved of the situation. He directly asked us to pay 40 dollars each!! For one class. No shirt included. Yes it is NYC but this is not what CrossFit is about.

The class itself was really really good. The coach was great and he put all out of the small training area, which was clean and well equipped.

We would never drop in again as it was too expensive and with the second receptionist we did not feel very welcomed. But the coach was nice, friendly and did a great job!

I love this place. The groupon coupon helped me start for the first month at reasonable price with no commitment which really gave me time to get comfortable and make up my mind. I am very very happy with the workout I get from each class. Coaches are cool af. I push my limit every time. My biggest issue with gym has been staying motivated which is no issue at all here because of the timer and partner workout system.

This place is top notch in every single aspect. I could not be any more happier that I joined. The facility is brand-new and well-maintained, creating the perfect lab for athletes to grow . The coaches are all outstanding and truly passionate about their teachings. The programming is extremely detail-oriented, focusing on building the proper fundamentals through each phase of every Olympic lift. Most importantly, there is truly a sense of community amongst all of the athletes training, regardless of their level-- everybody supports one another through even the most challenging workouts.

Seriously, give this place a try.
