After almost six years competing in CrossFit, I started transitioning into Olympic weightlifting,…read moreand found a new home at Requisite Fitness in the fall of 2016. I needed a gym that would give me the chance to take CrossFit classes if I wanted to, but primarily, I needed a gym with a strong barbell club, a strong coach, and a supportive community as I explored a new-to-me sport. I started dropping in at Requisite when the gym was still located on Ridge Ave. The barbell club space was on the smaller side, but there was always plenty of equipment available. The new space on Scotts Lane is amazing - bright, open, and with plenty of space and equipment to have three separate groups - competition training, CrossFit classes, and a barbell club - running at the same time. It's clear the gym invests in and regularly updates equipment to help the athletes learn and try new things, and to ensure no one's ever waiting for anything. Micah coached me through my first meet before I'd fully committed to weightlifting with Kilodelphia, later took me on as a new barbell club athlete with programming designed to help me get better, and helped me become a contributing member of a new team. His flexibility, openness, and general desire to see me be improve has been wonderful. The barbell athletes made me feel welcomed, supported, and I've developed valuable friendships in what feels like an incredibly short time! Having an experienced coaching staff watching me every day, a coaching staff that knows me and how I move, has been wonderful, and it's helped me get better. I'm also able to rely on both Micah and Perrin for CrossFit coaching and support, which was important leading up to the CrossFit Games Open in 2017. Though I don't spend much time away from the platforms, I've really enjoyed the CrossFit classes I've taken at Requisite. Though it's not always convenient for me to make the drive from Center City to East Falls to work out, it's worth it to me to go to a gym where I feel supported, equipped to improve, where I get the oly coaching while having the flexibility to dabble in CrossFit when I feel the itch!

Best CrossFit gym in Philadelphia. From the coaches to the…read moreprogramming to the equipment, everything is of the highest quality. Moreover, even if the class is full they make sure to touch base with everyone and coach them, which really helps improving! In addition, the community is inclusive and welcoming, and will make you feel welcome whether it is your 1st or 100th workout.

If I were to put myself in a box, I'd say I'm typically a yogi who periodically thinks "ok, let's…read morebe open minded about other options" and dabbles in other fitness, and then in this case immediately regrets dabbling when she is sore for the next five (FIVE!) days. But the good kind of sore? I took Emily's 7:30 am boot camp class and while the playlist was straight fire, my thighs were also on fire. We were a small group, so we were able to all get personal attention on form. Emily had laid out what we were going to do and made use of the timers, so I didn't have to count down the seconds myself. We used lots of different equipment (kettlebells, weights, jump ropes, ergs) and it made the 45 minutes go by a lot faster than I usually find at these types of classes. The space is huge, literally an open box, with lots of equipment. It seems some people just stop by and use the equipment, and they also have classes. 10 packs come out to $14 a class and 20 packs $12. They also have a 21 days for $49 pack for new members (which is a great deal) and other student and military discounts. 3x a week is $90 and (this is how they get you at the Movie theater with popcorn sizes) for only an extra $15 you can get unlimited (with 6 month commitment). For a bit extra you can get all access passes. But before you box Open Box into the Crossfit box, check out the upstairs yoga studio! Unlike many gyms where the yoga class is in the same room and its very difficult to feel zen, the yoga studio here is set off, sound proofed, painted a calming color, and has great manduka mats and blocks. I did a private workshop with Emily here and my friends and I had such a good time, she's great at teaching inversions and super encouraging! Open up your mind (and wallet) to Open Box, and you may just open up your heart to them, along with, probably, your hips.

I looked around at the options in the Fairmount area and decided to try Fight Club Philadelphia. It is a kickboxing gym on Broad Street near the Met, that is not fancy, but is clean and provided exactly the environment I was looking for. The 45 minute classes are virtually non-stop and provide a mix of kickboxing bag work, strength-building and conditioning. The coaches are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the programming is well thought out, and the music selection is great. Starting at a new gym with no martial arts experience and being twice the age of most other participants is not easy. Fortunately, the coaches and other members have been very welcoming and highly supportive, helping to make my first 6 weeks at the gym a great experience. While my kickboxing journey has just begun, I know I made the right decision to begin it here. The most important thing I look for in a workout program is one that keeps me coming back, day after day, week after week. I have found that at Fight Club Philadelphia.

I've been a member of Urban Athlete for almost a year now. I love this gym and highly recommend it!…read moreI live in Mount Airy, and enjoy having a small local gym that I can jog to. The classes are more boot camp style than crossfit. Pamela, the owner, develops a daily workout that each of the Urban Athlete classes does the same that day. Each class includes a 10 minute warm up, 5 minutes of instruction, followed by 30-35 minutes of work. We use a lot of hand weights, kettle bells, and occasionally barbells. There are also plenty of body weight exercise like burpees, pushups, pull ups, and planks. The instructors are my favorite part. They show us how to do each exercise, cheer us on, and give pointers to help your form. Class sizes typically range from 5-12 people. The workouts are for most fitness levels and ages, but not all, as they are hard and meant to push you. The members feed off each other for motivation. If you have serious physical limitations, personal training sessions might be a better way to start.

[CF "VET" maybe not quite a vet...]...STILL LOVE IT HERE! I hope that my enthusiasm is coming across. I have talked to many people about their box and it's scary out there! All of our coaches, George, Dave, Henry, Gina, Rich... all of them are really amazing! They push you to do your best but always have your best in mind. If you have an injury there are modifications and you will push your limits, but safely. The coaches are very focused on form and ensuring that you are not sacrificing form for weight. If you want to try something new they will take time out to help and coach you through it so you can practice. They also celebrate success with you...I stopped and screamed mid-wod when I got my first double under and every clapped....it was magical. The people here....I mean it's the community that makes the box in my opinion and the community here is better than I ever expected. Everyone is supportive and will help you along the way and answer any questions. We always have fun, work hard - play hard. If you are the last one (as I usually am especially with burpees) everyone comes over and cheers you on and will even start doing additional burpees with you to help you finish (shout out to @EricS)...if you have every done a burpee you know what it means to do additional burpees just to help your fellow CF'er through. I can't even consider ever leaving this box and I hope if you are new or experienced that you come down and check it out, trust me, you will get hooked too! _________________________________________________________________ [CF NEWBIE REVIEW}...yep I am in love with this place! I have been going here for almost 2 weeks now and I have had nothing short of the BEST "gym" experience ever! If you have never tried Crossfit before (like me) or you are looking for a more local place to go....you will love Crossfit2st! So we have all been there...gotten that Living Social deal and then had the worst experience ever - BUT NOT HERE! From the moment of purchasing the voucher, everyone has been so patient and accommodating to scheduling. Working with Ana to schedule me and my 3 other friends into the On Ramp course was a great experience...attending the On Ramp course was a great learning experience...and coming to do the WOD's has been an AWESOME experience. The On Ramp course was about 2 hours and we learned about all of the movements, some of the terminology, and learned and practiced the form for the movements. We had plenty of time to ask questions and didn't get rushed in any way. Coming to the first class is always filled with anxiety...I didn't know any of the moves, I didn't want to hold anyone back (obviously I didn't know anything about crossfit before I started) and was pretty "soft" after the holidays - oh you know what I mean. The first class was amazing! The coaches in the evening sessions - George and Clay - are freaking awesome! They knew we were new and paid special attention to our form and helping up through any moves and working the level 1 modifications so we didn't kill ourselves. They make everything look so easy (they are professionals) and it's great to have such great roll models to aspire to. The following days have been just as awesome...the workouts change up every day and anything that you need modified they help you through it. I am so impressed with their knowledge and patience with all of the new people (uhhmmm...me!) and I will absolutely be here as much as humanly possible! Whoop Whoop!

It is also often a well oiled machine as most of us need to get in and get out so we can be on time for work. At night I am there coaching. As a newer box we have a lot of new faces coming in all of the time and I love that they seem to stick around. We must be doing something right! I love teaching a new to CrossFit athlete proper form, you can just see it on their face when it clicks. Usually the first thing that say is "wow, that felt so much easier". Then from there it is the pr's as they finally get into the colored weight plates, enter into the 100lb club, lifting their own body weight, etc. Every pr is time for a celebration in my book! We have a lot of fun at 2 Street and we get a lot of hard work done at the same time. I think it is that balance that keeps the athletes coming back and looking forward to what we have planned for them each class, even the burpees!

Unacceptable Experience at Philly Fitness (2077 Ridge Avenue)…read more I'm a Wellhub member, and Philly Fitness is listed as one of their partner gyms. Today, I visited the Ridge Avenue location and had one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a fitness facility. Upon arrival, I was denied access, even after presenting the app properly. The staff was completely unprepared and uninformed about how the Wellhub system works. They looked confused, showed zero professionalism, and made me feel extremely unwelcome. Then, they called the manager, who was shockingly rude and told me to leave immediately with no clear explanation. I was publicly embarrassed, treated with disrespect, and made to feel as if I was trying to sneak in without permission -- even though I had every right to be there as a Wellhub member. Not only was I denied a service I pay for, but I was also humiliated in front of others due to the total lack of training and professionalism of the entire team. This gym should not be listed on Wellhub if they're not prepared to treat members with basic respect. Absolutely unacceptable.
