Been reluctant to restart a workout routine. This place is great because it teaches replicable worouts. The coaches are all great but each has their own style which I like. You may just take classes with a few you like. Simple online interface. read more

I worked out for a year here and was sad to leave as I was moving out of the area. I had been doing crossfit for a year before then, and for my year at Commonwealth my technique improved immensely. The coaches like Brian, Larry and Abby are sticklers for technique, but as a result help you build safer foundations for movements. For example, I hadn't realized that I was basically throwing myself at the wall for handstand pushups when there was a much safer way of getting up on the wall, which then later allowed me to complete hand stand walks! People at this gym are great as well, laid back and relaxed. It's a great place to work out! read more

It looks like the people here are having a good time, but I've noticed that there is at least one coach dating a client. I'm looking for a professional establishment! (And not that kind of a good time lol) If this also gives you the ick, then maybe not the place for you. read more

I came to visit Boston in early October and having a typical addiction to crossfit which most folks do I had to find a place to work out! I had yelped a few spots and saw most spots had drop in fees but Brian was real cool and let me work out for 2 days. I did end up buying a tshirt on last day! Brian and the folks were all really cool. The place is big and spacious and even has its own showers! If your looking for a spot to do crossfit Id def hit this place up. Thanks again Commonwealth for letting me drop in! read more

Commonwealth Crossfit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

For context, I am an extremely inactive person (by profession and by nature), so I came to this from a very beginner's perspective. I did the 6-week onboarding challenge, and managed to achieve the goal of 20lbs weight loss, with a food plan they provided. That was due in no small part to the ongoing support of the coaches. I have since continued to go to classes 3x/week, which is unusual for someone with my aversion to strenuous activity. I was worried going in that I would be expected/pressured to push myself beyond what I was capable of doing, but I was relieved to find that the coaches were very good about scaling the exercises down to my level, and keeping an eye on me and telling me to reduce my work when they saw me struggling. The coaches (and the other members) are all very supportive. If you're like me, and have never done anything like this before, I'd encourage you to give it a shot. read more

Went here a few months back for a trial class. Totally sucked. The coach talked the whole time and hardly gave me a good work out. After going to CF Boston I feel like this place needs to UP ITS GAME hard core if it plans on ever having a business in Somerville/Cambridge area. I felt like the coach talked about how much weight he lost and it was like a fucking biography class instead of a work out. Also, didn't feel any sense of community with the gym. I will never ever ever come back here. If you want a real work out and are willing to drive just a tad bit further go to CF Boston at 114 Western Ave across from Harvard Business School. read more

I have been working with Commonwealth Crossfit for about a month now. The workouts are challenging and all the trainers really make sure that form comes before heavy weights. Although it is going to be a while before i can do handstand pushups, or even a pullup, i have never felt so supported in my workouts by both fellow members and the trainers. I would encourage anyone who is interested in trying Crossfit to join this gym. read more

You go to Starmarket and ask 24 pounds of beef. See how much meat the butcher is bringing. That is how much I reduced from my body during last 6 weeks through the program here. I have served as a soldier 10 years ago, and their program is indeed remind me training program I did in the military, which is much more funner way. Cheerful, helpful and encourage do the exercise more that you think you can do. Brian and Abby who are coaches in there vastly helpful to get my posture right and do more efficient work out. I highly recommend this place if you want to reduce your weight, more importantly, if you want turn your lifestyle to healthier style. read more

I actually have no clue how the place is..Every time I walk in there they'll be up to 20 people taking a class with somebody that's in charge of it. I'll stand there for five minutes I can't even get anybody to look me in the eye. I don't see any paperwork or anything to see what the club is about. Do you have to be part of some private club? I just started a work project around here and I'm looking for a place to train and maybe get a personal trainer like I had at any time fitness. read more

I've been CrossFitting for two years, training in half a dozen boxes. Commonwealth CrossFit is exceptional in terms of a) it's coaches (Brian's energy is contagious, b) the positive attitude among athletes, and c) the facilities. I live within a 5 minute walk of another long established Boston-area box, but still choose the 15 minute bike ride to train at CWCF. read more

I was pretty nervous about doing cross fit. I had not been working out for a while and was hesitant from all the hype I have heard. So, on my way home from work, I stopped in and met one of the trainers. She was so friendly and helpful. I then met Brian, the owner and instantly knew I wanted to join. I have been there now 3 weeks and have to say that the work outs are amazing. Intense! But amazing! What I love most about Commonwealth Cross fit is the comraderie amongst the members and the staff. Another great thing they have is the on-ramp. When you sign up, you are required to take the 6 class intro courses. It really teaches you the right moves preparing you for the regular classes. Awesome place with zero attitude. Just hard work and fun doing it! read more

CC has completely nailed how to build a positive community. Its one of those places where the trainers genuinely care about what they do and helping make you the best version of you. Before coming to CC, I was doing xfit for about 3 years at a "high-end" box in the area. While the equipment was good and the classes were well run, it felt very cliquy. It was hard to connect with the staff and there wasn't much in the way of community. At CC, the facilities are what you'd expect from any good gym; huge rig, plenty of space, fully rubberized floor, etc... but they make sure that you feel welcome and connect with your class. read more

CWCF is a great place to work out, have fun and meet great people. Just re-upped after 2 years fighting of injuries and was able to get big results. Worth checking out for sure. read more

I have been working out with Brian since before he opened the Gym (think CrossFit in a park with people watching you and thinking WTF????). Brian and all of the other coaches at CWCF are very skilled and always willing to help, coach and answer questions. There is a great community feel here with some great members. The on-ramp classes are great and really teach you the fundamentals of CrossFit and the daily WOD's are challenging. For a true challenge, the Saturday "team WOD" typically leaves me sore for days, in a good way :) Great box, great coaches, great people so overall HIGHLY recommended. read more

A great community of people, large open space with lots of equipment. The coaches and staff are also extremely accommodating with injuries, new members, existing members, and are always looking for ways to improve the space, experience, and community for its members. Also a great location (10 min from Porter red line T stop, and many bus lines that right outside that take you to Lechmere/Davis Square (87) and Central Square (83)) Also dog friendly, lots of hours and class times for any person (from 5:30 am to 7:30 pm) read more

I couldn't be more happy with my experience at Commonwealth Crossfit! I signed up as part of their Fitness Challenge, and after just a short 6 weeks time I had lost over 26lbs and just under 4% Body fat! Results obviously vary, but I guarantee if you put in the time & effort here you WILL see some serious results. The entire training staff is unbelievable, and the atmosphere is that of pure positivity & motivational support. If you're looking make your health and fitness a priority, I couldn't recommend anywhere more highly! read more

I'd been a long-distance runner for nearly 20 years. A running injury caused me to look for something new, and I'm really glad to have found CWCF. Having been an endurance athlete for so long, it is a refreshing change to add strength, power, agility, and so much more to my fitness plan. I've been working out with CWCF for about six months now. I've learned a lot about fitness and learned many new skills. Although I had done some free weights over the years, I had never lifted a barbell over my head while standing, done dips from rings, or thought about doing handstand pushups. Brian and the other instructors are fantastic about helping you learn to do these challenging workouts correctly and safely. CWCF is also a great community where everyone helps cheer on the others to push them to do their best. read more

Seems like it would have been good. We emailed again and again to sign up. We heard back once that we were signed up, then weeks went by without anymore info, so we went somewhere else. Too bad, Brian seems like a good guy. We did try to sign up in January, so maybe we got lost in the shuffle. read more

What an amazing Crossfit box! As local chiropractors, we have seen athletes from many gyms in the surrounding area and Commonwealth Crossfit encompasses what a great box should be. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and caring and the facility is top notch! If you are looking to join a crossfit box, look no further. We have been continually impressed by the coaches and athletes of this facility! read more

Haven't been at CC long but I'm really liking it. I had a "box" back home in Oregon where I first learned CrossFit, and that will always be my home. I tried a bunch of CrossFit places when i moved to Boston, looking for a replacement, but nothing was quite right. One I went to was a mess (no training, messy form, no concern for safety) and another was find but just not the right fit (seemingly only concerned about super advanced athletes, no outdoor space, cramped, too fancy). Commonwealth CrossFit has things that are important to me - an accessible feel, people of varying levels, nice coaches who care about form (shout out especially to Ming, who was a great Elements coach, and Cam who I just met but really appreciated), no epic waits to get into class (some gyms I had to sign up two weeks before!) and my personal love - a garage door that opens to the outside. I'm glad I found CC. read more

I broke my neck last year and had been on bed rest and doing PT for about 7 months before I decided to start training again. I had emailed the owner Brian and he was so nice and super helpful in getting me started. I began with private lessons and then moved into the OnRamp and it has been amazing. It is super tough, but also a lot of fun. I recently got my fiancé into it and she loves it too. It really is a big family. Everyone is super welcoming and it is the closest thing I have felt to a team since high school. I can honestly say that Brian and everyone at Commonwealth gave me my life back and are helping me not only get back to where I was, but even better than I could have imagined. read more

CWCF is great for everyone, there are some champion coaches and athletes as well as beginners mixed into almost every class. Safety was always stressed before anything else so the coaches go through every movement thoroughly. Dedicate yourself for just a couple months and you will see amazing physical changes. read more

The coaches at Commonwealth Crossfit are outstanding professionals. They provide the right balance of instruction, encouragement and humor. The website is kept up to date with the daily workouts and notes from the coaches. If you are interested in CrossFit, this is a great place to learn. read more

I was visiting from Western Mass and had a great workout as a drop in. Nice space. It was easy to set up the drop in, and there was great coaching for a fun workout. Thanks coach Larry! read more

Love this gym! The community is so supportive and positive, and workouts kick butt! All the coaches are really good at scaling the workouts, and really focus on safe movements. Just overall great energy! read more

CWCF has honestly changed my life. I walked in almost a year ago as an overweight middle-aged couch potato. Brian and the whole coaching team made me feel more welcome than I ever expected. After many pounds lost and many pounds lifted, I can say: the CWCF community is an environment where amazing things can happen! The coaches are knowledgeable and super supportive and the group spirit of the members is fabulous. Brian is always looking out for ways to make the CWCF experience even better, and he actively solicits feedback. CWCF is a place where athletes of all levels do their best and cheer each other on - there's nothing better! read more

As someone who hadn't worked out for a few years, Brian and Abby did a fantastic job at getting me on board, walking me through lifts and exercises, and checking in to ensure that I was attending regularly and eating properly. The entire staff is incredibly dedicated and don't think twice about staying after class to answer questions about our form, diet, etc. The whole gym has a positive atmosphere, with more advanced members encouraging new ones like me. After six weeks, I gained 8lbs while retaining the same body fat percentage, and my energy levels noticeably increased. For those who are new to working out or haven't done so for a while, I'd recommend Commonwealth Crossfit without hesitation. read more

a great gym for both new the new and initiated CrossFitter! classes are large enough to establish community but small enough to receive some individual coaching. coaches are fun, knowledgeable, and patient, and have your best interest in mind. diverse group of people, welcoming and fun! large space to accommodate various workouts. easily accessible by public transportation or driving (parking available). morning, afternoon, and evening classes; specialty classes and general workouts. membership costs are comparable if not slightly cheaper than surrounding CrossFit gyms. read more

It's a great place. I first started doing Crossfit two years ago in CT. I have experienced several different gyms. The coaches at Commonwealth are excellent because they pay close attention to all the people in the class. If you need to scale a workout, they give you a suggestion. This morning, Brian explained how to do the double-under jumprope technique in a way no one ever had done before. It showed how much he values educating his clients. I also love the people at Commonwealth. Everyone is very friendly. It is an excellent community. I strongly recommend this gym. read more

This is a wonderful crossfit community. I attended for a few years before recently moving. Compliments to the coaches for their attention to detail and inclusiveness. Brian is an exceptional owner and has an incredible way with people. read more

I joined Commonwealth Crossfit in late February. Was there for a few months and have to leave due to a move for work. Brian, the owner, was super helpful in getting me started and he brings a lot of strength & conditioning knowledge and positive energy to the gym. He and the cast of coaches are serious about safety and go through each movement thoroughly. Biggest compliment goes to the flexibility they have for athletes at various stages of their development. They put extra time into diversifying workouts for beginners all the way up to experts. A fun, healthy spirit of competition and comraderie exists but not many egos to be found. In 3 months, I made some huge gains in fitness and a big thanks to CWCF for the support and helpful instruction along the way. read more

Brian's a great WOD leader and coach. Super friendly community open to all ages and abilities. Highly recommend CrossFit to anyone interested in getting strong! read more
