All the trainers and owners were really friendly (most of them knew me by name) which was surprising and a great atmosphere to be in. I tried several classes as well as participated in personal training for a couple months before I moved back to Boston. The classes were challenging and they definitely accommodated all types of fitness levels especially the spin classes. Kickboxing wasn't my favorite but that probably because I'm coordination-challenged. The other people in class were nice and overall it was just a great atmosphere to work out in, and the instructors were incredibly motivating - cheering on individuals as they work harder. Your hard work won't go unnoticed. The personal trainer that I got to work with was Jamie who was chosen because his schedule worked nicely with mine. Jamie is an outstanding trainer and overall amazing person to spend time with. I had so much fun training with Jamie, he was funny, optimistic, smart, and he definitely challenged me every time I came in. Additionally, he was super accommodating to my changing schedule, and personal needs from a trainer. Even when I wasn't in the mood to work out or was having an awful day/week - training with Jamie always helped to turn things around. And beyond the gym and my physical well being, this guy helped me a lot mentally and with situations that had nothing to do with my body. I really can't say enough good things about this guy. I feel blessed that I got the opportunity to meet such a great guy and sorry that I had to leave Western Mass.

I am 70+ year-old woman who never loved going to the gym, but I do want to be active. Three years ago, while skiing with my family, I was trailing far (very far) behind. When I returned to Western Massachusetts, I signed up for a membership. I now keep up with my adult children on the slopes (well most all of the day!) but even more importantly, I feel strong and confident to get through my daily routines all year long, from doing chores in and around my house, traveling, walking my dog, playing tennis, to going for hikes. Drew, and all of the trainers at TFL, are enthusiastic, encouraging and knowledgeable. They meet you where you are and cheer you on as you build strength at your pace. Joining TFL was one of the best decisions I've made.

The staff, the workouts, the culture, the facility is now FRESHLY RENOVATED......everything is top notch. Workouts can be tailored to meet everyone's needs while delivering a positive and motivating experience. The coach to member ratio is excellent and coaches are constantly ensuring you are executing the exercise properly to help prevent injury. Regardless of your skill or experience level, If you're looking to get moving, get stronger, and/or more active, there is no better spot and no better group of people to do it with. I could go on and on about TFL but trust me....Give them a chance and you'll be happy!

Being a really aggressive, type A personality, I have felt the urge to maul someone at least once a…read moreday since I was 4. Since middle school until the end of college I tried lifting weights, running competitively, dancing, cycling, hiking, every kind of yoga available in the valley (and that's a lot of yoga!), and a myriad of other group exercise classes including spinning, boot camps, kickboxing, step aerobics, and interval training, (sometimes attending 2-3 different classes per day), in attempt to take my edge off and feel normal. The result was: I got in moderately good shape, had a nice toned, lean body, learned about a lot of different facilities in the area, and even learned new moves and techniques that served me well, and still do from time to time. However, I was never able to use any of these outlets to push myself to the extent that I wanted to. I often became bored, and uninterested. I would leave my workouts feeling winded and sweaty, but unfulfilled, irritated, and still bubbling over with a fiery type of energy that made me want to crawl out of my skin. I would spend the rest of the day picking fights with everyone around me, and sometimes even throwing inanimate objects around my house. It wasn't until I joined PVCF, and started attending at least 3-4 workouts a week that this behaviour subsided. Now, not only are there less broken things, and cops showing up at my house, but I am stronger, leaner, and more nimble than I have ever been. I am learning new things, and improving a little more each day. Just yesterday, I was finally able to coordinate my feet well enough to climb a rope. A few weeks before that, something else clicked, and I got a little better at double-unders. For most, attending first WODs at PVCF is a new social situation where you don't know anyone, most of the moves and techniques are completely new to you, very challenging, and you have to perform in front of a room of beautiful, healthy strangers. Fortunately, self-confidence and humility you didn't even know you had will emerge from this experience, and make you a better person. Additionally, having to say "hi" to people you don't know on a daily basis, and learning their names will expand your social skills and community network. Learning where all of the equipment is, how to use it, how to efficiently set it up, and put it back will increase your assertiveness (as you have to ask those around you for tips and info, etc.) Going through the sometimes painstaking process of learning your numbers (the amount of weight you're lifting) keeping track of all of this and writing it down, knowing your reps, is all part of an empowering self indulgent experience that will be unlike any other part of your life. This is where you gain drive, motivation, and competitiveness that you might not have found within yourself before. As you can see, it's really a holistic fitness experience that rivals any other I've experienced here in the five college area. Not to mention there's convenient parking, gorgeous bathrooms and showers, plenty of equipment, room to put your stuff, and access to nutritional support. The management is constantly tailoring the schedule to fit members needs, and rearranging things to improve the space. Also, there are crazy stereotypes running around out there that crossfitters and crossfit trainers are just a bunch of jocks who think that crossfit is the be all end all of the world. This isn't true. Crossfitters are a diverse group of people including kids, tweens, artists, veterans, first responders, colleges students, and people of all shapes and sizes, and all fitness levels. If you are looking for a gym, definitely give it a try before automatically going up the street to BigBox Globo-Fitness, and bring a friend!

Pioneer Valley Crossfit is hands down the best gym I've ever worked out at. It my nine months at…read morePVCF I've added 220 lbs to my deadlift, 55 lbs to my squat, learned a number of new skills (olympic lifts, ring work), and can still run a mile in under seven minutes. Crossfit is many things. It's technical definition is "constantly varied, if not randomized, functional movements performed at high intensity." When I'm asked what crossfit is, I usually tell people it's a mixture of sprint work, gymnastics, and weightlifting. More than that though, it's a community. It's a group of people who are consciously saying no to plodding away on a treadmill at some globo-gym, never seeing the results they so desire. It's about finding within yourself the ability to do hard things and to relish in overcoming obstacles. It's a great gym, full of good, motivated, and supportive people.

None of this sign up and your first week is free bull, just sign the waiver and start your trial. This is the best of both worlds in that it is NOT a single class run by an "instructor". With everyone doing the same thing for an hour. It is a circuits based workout that rotates through a 3 day schedule with 3 different full body workouts. The next month all the circuits change up again and the rotation continues. No way to plateau or get bored in this scheme. It is fun, challenging and truly works your whole body. Time flies by. The staff are all certified trainers and not just fitness enthusiasts. They are monitoring and course correcting all the participants to be sure everyone is getting focus on doing the exercise properly. For me it's like having a personal trainer but within a group environment. I was spotted doing something wrong and it was very quickly (like within the first 30s) noticed and of course I got more out of the exercise because of it. Strength, Cardio and Core are in every workout. Don't worry about the intensity, they have that covered too. The small group workout is easy on the joints, and the intensity is up to you. The large group workout is by design a tougher and higher impact workout so you get to choose. They call you by name when you come in and greet you in a welcoming way. As a newbie I was looked after and everyone asked how my workout went at the end. Very engaged staff. If you have been putting off signing up for a way to get fit and healthy, try the 7 day free trial and you'll probably love it. I did and plan to sign up for real.
