This is my first time participating in a Crossfit program and I am very happy to say the least! I have taken a few classes with different coaches and all of them are absolutely wonderful!! Yes, they will kick your butt but they will also motivate you to keep pushing AND also correct your form to avoid injury! This to me is very important, the fact that they go around to each person in the class to make sure everyone is doing the move correctly sealed the deal for me. The atmosphere is bubbling with positive energy. The space is clean. The location is perfect. I will continue to attend classes here for as long as I am able to!!!! Thanks to everyone at CrossFit SPOT for the motivation and encouragement :)

I have had such a positive experience at CrossFit Spot! The RX coaches are very friendly and motivating and help you get the most out of your workout while you re there. Great, high-energy workout environment with great music to train to.

I was really nervous with the idea of starting crossfit but the staff makes it so fun. Some moves can be tricky but it's so worth it. I feel stronger and I can finally use the free weights at my local gym without feeling awkward because I know what to do now. The staff is so friendly and helpful and they actually take the time to learn your name.

I came to CF Spot with some lifting experience looking for challenging CrossFit classes in a welcoming environment, and I found exactly that. This is the best CrossFit gym I ve lifted at, and I am proud to be a part of it.

So much personal attention, but not in a hovering way. I ve never done the same workout and each trainer has a unique style. Really great, 100% recommend. One more thing.. I ve been to a few CrossFit/bootcamp type places in the city and this one feels the most homey.

Love this place! The coaches are professional and knowledgeable and the members are supporting and motivating. There is a good mix of men and women, older and younger. There is also a smoothie bar inside which is nice to swing by post-workout on your way to the office.

I found this CrossFit place through a deal I found Online. I wanted to give CrossFit a try to see what this sport is all about. Before stepping into this this spot (no pun intended) I was feeling a bit intimidated, but the coaches as super relax and want to help you get to the next steps. I've taken a couple of beginner classes and you see all ranges of experience and it's really helpful to have that. Great place!

I'm new to CrossFit SPOT and I'm loving it. The RX classes are really challenging, but doable. You can push yourself as much or as little as you want. The coaches I've had so far are motivating and knowledgeable. This is my second week, and already I am noticing I have more energy during the day. There's even some abdominal definition happening. All in all, it's been a great experience.

At first I was hesitant to try this place out, but its such a great community of coaches who continuously motivate you. They really try to get to know you, and are open to questions at the end of each class. The RX classes are really intense but its nothing you can't do! love how open everyone is and their shakes are a plus! so delicious.

My experience with CrossFit SPOT has been amazing since day 1. I m new to CrossFit so I was nervous to join but the coach and staff made me feel very welcomed. The box / facilities are new and very clean which makes it an even more enjoyable experience. Coach Billy and Coach Eric have been there every step of the way giving me direction, feedback and more importantly encouragement. I m now always looking forward to next class!

Bought a 10 pack of classes for a really good price on Groupon and I ve really enjoyed the classes. The instructors are attentive and make sure you have proper form which is really important and don t always find in CrossFit. I love the format- generally it s the first 20 minutes or so working on a particular move, like a snatch, clean and jerk etc, and the second half of the class will often be a partner AMRAP workout which usually has a good mix of cardio and strength. My only dislike is that they don t always start on time, and they don t incorporate stretching into the workout, tho they do encourage you to stay and stretch.

I've taken multiple RX class (really intense cardio/strength/metcon with medicine balls, TRX, kettlebells, dumbbells, battle ropes, assault bikes, etc) and they have been some of the most challenging workouts I've ever done. As a former gymnast, I love the team aspect (before the class starts you go around and introduce yourself and answer an ice breaker question) and the environment in general is really encouraging and motivating.There are always modifications so the RX class is suited for many fitness levels. The instructors stress form and safety, which is surprisingly hard to find at many gyms in the city. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a challenging, intense workout!

After seeing such great reviews, I signed up for 2 Crossfit classes through classpass and yesterday was first one. I was excited to find another crossfit gym that was also offering their crossfit class on classpass even though this is a trek.

Once I arrived to check-in, I was immediately grilled on whether I've done crossfit before, how many times I've done, how much can I lift, do I know what's a clean and jerk or push press. Albeit I'm no pro and I'm a novice at best who's looking to improve but needless to say after being interrogated in a demeaning manor I felt extremely unwelcomed. Only after saying I'm just going to leave, did his attitude change and allowed me to take the class.

While attending the class everyone was nice and encouraging exactly what I would have expected crossfit class. The WOD was Angie, since my pull ups and kipping is my weakest the couch was attentive in assisting in improving my kipping swing.

The facilities is clean and well maintained. The equipment are new and adequate.

Overall the class experience was good, but what really left a bad taste in my mouth was how I was interrogated to a point where I felt unwelcomed and had to leave what made it worse was that I was making this trek on one if the hottest days so far to get to that location. Needless to say, I have since cancelled the second class. If their intentions are to have pros in their crossfit class then they shouldn't offer it at all on classpass. Since they are offering it, then they should be more welcoming to those who are novice's looking to improve in getting better and stronger.

I ve been a crossfit member from another NYC gym and switched to the new location at 33 West End since they opened July 4th. A quick address update- the gym entrance is actually located on Freedom Place which is between Riverside Blvd and West End Ave. The classes are intense but well programmed and all the instructors have a strong passion to make sure members (new or seasoned) are doing the moves with correct form and performance. It s a great atmosphere of socializing and working out. this new gym in NYC has plenty of sunlight and near the west side area for outdoor programming. I ve already bought my annual membership and great to see the owner working out with us also.

Crossfit can seem intimidating for newbies... and it is! But at Crossfit Spot I found a very accessible "box", where coaches help you master crossfit (including olympic lifting ) technique in a fun, friendly environment and where all skill levels are welcome ... For me, two sessions per week at Crossfit Spot is a great way to supplement my running sessions. After the month-long intro classes, you'll be ready for the famous "Workout of the Day" (WOD) !

I've only been attending the classes at SPOT for a few weeks now, but so far I'm loving it! I feel as if the workouts have a good variety and definitely challenge you. The gym is very clean and welcoming (some Crossfit gyms can come across as intimidating.) It's not a very big space, but the staff does a great job at utilizing what they have and not making the classes feel too crowded. The coaches are also very friendly and helpful!

I received a groupon as a gift for some classes at CrossFit Spot for my birthday, and I really enjoyed taking classes at this gym. The space is clean and well equipped. The classes are challenging and well programmed for all levels. The instructors are friendly but firm and are thorough in their explanations of, and the proper form for each movement of the workout. Each instructor takes the time to learn everyone s names and any injuries at the beginning of class, which I think is a very nice touch, especially as a newcomer. Regardless if the class is four people or sixteen, instructors take the time to visit each student multiple times to either encourage or correct form, which I really appreciate. And most importantly, overall, the atmosphere of the gym, from the owners, to the staff, to the students is so welcoming, friendly and encouraging/supportive. This location is a bit out of the way, especially if you live in the outer boroughs like me, but I think it s absolutely worth the trek and I highly recommend everyone wanting to try out CrossFit to give CrossFit Spot a visit. I will most certainly be coming for more classes in the future.

After 2 years of not exercising I finally decided to try out CrossFit Spot, I find the classes challenging and fun by the time you re done your sweaty and exhausted but you feel accomplished.

Great facility with an even more amazing staff. I have been working out here for a couple months and have yet to be disappointed. Every coach is very experienced and knows how to push you to your limits while also creating a safe and enjoyable atmosphere (well as enjoyable as a crossfit workout can be). Limits on class sizes make every workout more personal and allows them to really make sure you're doing exercises properly. Highly recommend!

The coaches are super friendly! The classes are a bit intense, but it s a good feeling to make it through them. I like that each time I go, it s a different circuit. Space is a bit limited. But I think they are working on this.... Overall, I d recommend to a friend.

I got a Groupon and decided to try the RX classes. I had a great experience overall - the instructors were all very nice and encouraging while the workouts were challenging. It's also nice that the class sizes are rather small - more personal attention and you start to see the same people again and again. The receptionists (and from that, the organization) were friendly, even giving me free water bottles the few times I had forgotten to bring me own!

Conveniently located just a few blocks away from Columbus circle, this gym provides a great opportunity for city dwellers to stay in the heart of the city for a workout and avoid crowds of tourists at the same time. At their new space, there is everything a strength athlete of any level might need: all sorts of bars, kettlebells, dumbbells, and other toys that I have yet to try. They offer multiple classes throughout the day and have open gym hours every day of the week, which is a nice change from some of my previous gyms that had open gym only on certain days. The regulars and the coaches are approachable and willing to give an advice if asked. It is clean and spacious too!

I joined 2 months ago and now I m hooked! I was not sure I was convinced about CrossFit, but the sessions I ve attended proved otherwise. Initially, my body required a week to recuperate, but am now able to sustain 3x per week.

The variety in workouts ensure all your muscles are targeted at different times. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and instructors take the time to emphasize form.

I stumbled upon crossfit SPOT through a free trial and instantly liked the gym's atmosphere. Having never done crossfit before, I was pleasantly surprised by how much much coaching you receive! The variety of classes is great - between RX (more hiit style) and your traditional cross fit classes. I quickly joined after my first class and have been loving it. Feel stronger already!

my first crossfit experience and loving it so far. i started with the olympic lifting for beginners classes and benefited a lot. the regular classes are also in high quality and you get a lot of attention and help from the instructors. the coaches are really friendly and helpful. every day the workout is different and that makes things more fun. working out in a group also makes tough work more tolerable! highly recommend this location!

CrossFit Spot is a great "box" for beginners to crossfit as I was. It is a very welcoming fitness space for all level of crossfit experience. I highly recommend Eric Rivera as he is a very knowledgeable coach. He makes sure every attendant feel comfortable and belonged in the class. I like how they structure the beginners class, where the first 30 minutes of class is about learning common crossfit movement and exercises. This is very critical to new comers as the crossfit terminology is was something new for me. The last 30 minutes consists on "workout of the day" WOD. It is very intense and it really make you sweat - so be ready.

I really enjoy the community at CrossFit SPOT. I joined two weeks ago and after not working out consistently for almost a year, I've been to 8 classes and that's only because I am traveling out of town for most of the second week. I feel great! The accountability and encouragement you get from the coaches are phenomenal! I would certainly recommend CrossFit SPOT to newbies who want to get fit while having fun and doing it safely, as well as to expert lifters. Everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace while also pushing yourself to see results:-)

I signed up for Crossfit so I would have a group to workout with, and feel more motivated. The classes are enjoyable, and the staff are thorough and attentive, even if you are a beginner. I feel very accomplished when I finish a workout, and I love that I feel like I am becoming stronger when I go continuously. I have taken a friend who is an absolute beginner, and they were very patient and helped her learn the movements while still focusing on the rest of the class.
