This has been my Crossfit gym for about 2 and a half years. What I love about Crossfit is that you show up and do the work of the day (WOD) it kicks your a$$ for an hour and then you go home. You don't have to think or get creative; they do it for you. It works different muscle groups and never gets boring. This gym has some really great coaches, Glenn and Tobi are my favorites. They don't push you to a breaking point, or bark at you like a drill sargent. They will come up with all sorts or modifications based on what medical conditions you may be dealing with (knee problems, back problems, recovering from surgery etc...) class size ranges from 3 people to 20 depending on peak times of the year. Classes are avialable 5am, 6am, 7am then 430pm, 530, 630 pm Monday - Friday . Limited morning classes on the weekends 9 and 10am. The actual times vary slightly based on the day of the week. The downside is I don't really like to exercise so I usually go once or twice a week. My husband goes 4 to 6 times a week and he has blown past me in his progress. The gym is kept clean and the owner is continually working to improve and upgrade aspects like the new ski-machines, assault bikes and flooring, the bathrooms and the kids area etc. My least favorite thing is that some of the loyal-every day members have their kids running all around the gym space. This is despite the owners attempts to post on our group Facebook that this shouldn't be happening. I worry one of them will get hurt and they will turn around and sue the gym. I can't speak for other Cross fit "boxes" places but I hear from other long time crossfitters that this gym is something really special. read more

CrossFit 033 - Getting ready to snatch [lift] - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

Although I have only had my first official "check in" today" I have been a member of this "Box" since November and I freaking love it! Part of the Relentless Nation (there are 3 other locations in West Hartford, South Windsor, and Higganum) - my Box has become a place for me to develop strength that I have not seen in a while. At first I was not sure what to expect. I, like many, had heard the stories of "crazy crossfitters" lifting heavy sh*t with their sexualized lingo (WOD, snatch, double unders) and not feeling like they got a good workout in unless they puked. WHAT?? As a runner by passion - I know pain and discomfort and if you ask Mark C - I am a bit crazy so since I was looking to switch things up during my "off season" I thought I would give it a go. Worst case scenario - I hated it or worse pulled something and that would be the end of my Crossfit experience. Plus I had heard that Crossfit had helped runners increase their speed - and I am all for that! I sent an e mail to the owner to ask about 033 and we set up a time for me to come a try it out. When I arrived I was warmly greeted by Patryk, signed a waiver and basically "thrown in" with the others :) Honestly it was better than that - I was introduced and then we got down to business - warm up, modalities, strength, WOD and cool down were explained and then we were off. I know some other Boxes have newbies go through a fundamentals class but I did not. The first day I was like a fish out of water but the instructor scaled my workout and the other participants were friendly and offered advice. I went home and the next morning I woke up sore in places I had not been in a while - and I went back for more! The instructors have been great and always are there for a spot, provide some extra instruction and sometimes just yell when you might want to give up during a WOD. My consistency has paid off as now I have a routine and the instructors have come to expect me on certain days. I also have to say that everyone I have met - from the new newbies to the veterans could not be nicer. At first I was a little intimidated but this has helped to push me and dare I say look up You Tube videos at night so that I have some clue as to what we are doing the next day in class. That is another great thing about is that one of the owners posts the next day's workout on their Facebook page - its been a great way to psych myself up (and You Tube) for what lies ahead. I have been a member for about 2 months now and am so glad I signed up. It has provided me with a challenge not only to my muscles but to my mind as well. My conversation with Mark C still includes running but now he has to learn all this new lingo - much of which I am still learning myself. But its been a learning experience - and a path I have been happy (and sore) to embark on! read more

Tobi is running a great gym. He ensures strong COVID protections with masks, safe distancing, clean equipment, temperature taking and appropriate exercises to keep distancing. AND, he ensures we have a thorough workout, warm up according to muscles that we will use in WOD and diverse workouts to ensure we don't just work on one set of muscles. He is also a really supportive and helpful coach. He helps you from where you are and given what you can do. Never pushing you beyond what you are capable of...but really encouraging of every one of us. Thanks Tobi! read more

Very nice gym. Stopped in on the second leg of a long road trip. Drive 4.5 hours and walked right into a WOD. The coach was very knowledgeable and motivating. We burned through the workout, it was a good one too. I bought a 033 shirt to take back with me and wear at my local gym. read more

I've been a member of 033 since July 2011. Joining has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made - and far and away the best exercise routine I've ever done. If you're sick and tired of seeing no results from the same old gym routine, consider stopping in to see what CrossFit is all about. The coaches at 033 are incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. They take the time needed to explain the movements, check your form, and cheer you on during the workouts. The community of members is second to none - friendly, supportive and inspirational. And the programming can't be beat - the coaches have decades of combined fitness experience and it shows. The results you'll see will speak for themselves. When I started I saw people 10 years older than me doing things I couldn't do - things I had NEVER been able to do. I'm now 37, and am in far better shape than I was at 27 (and honestly, probably in better shape than I was at 17). That is 100% attributable to the coaches and programming at 033. If you're looking to get in the best shape of your life, look no further! read more

As a recent CrossFit recruit, CF033 has really enlightened my workout routine. The coaches are excellent with class sizes at any time, whether morning or afternoon, to be fairly small. The coaches are very proactive about making sure that you have the proper form to eliminate the potential for injury. However, my biggest beef is that communication regarding any clinics or announcements are only made on a member only Facebook page where you have to friend request the owner in order to post a question. For those of us who are not glued to Facebook, this really diminishes the quality of customer service you expect from a service provider you are paying a boat load of money to every month. I do not want to be "friends" with the owner. I am NOT his friend, I am his CLIENT. And it is even more galling to be told that "I need to work for it" to be added to the Facebook page. Last time I looked, I was the CLIENT and the only time I need to work for it is during a WOD. There is a perfectly good website. I suggest that they use it to communicate with their clients rather than keep us apprised of all the new locations they are opening. read more

My journey into the world of CrossFit began five months ago - well actually, more like 15 months ago.  I had heard of all of these crazy people getting into insane shape with CrossFit through Olympic lifting, running, rowing and doing other "unnatural" things (what's a burpee???).  I saw a Living Social offer in September 2012 and thought, this is what I need to give me a jump start.  I'd give it a month and be on my way.  I was a "gym rat" back in my 20's and could do a decent bench press but hadn't consistently seen the inside of a gym in the past ten years.  Oh I've paid my $10/month "Fat Guy Tax" to a number of GloboGyms but felt that I had to get in better shape before I could show my face there. So after work one evening, I pulled up to CrossFit 033 with my Living Social coupon in hand and must have caught the class in mid-WOD.  I watched from outside as people lifted and dropped what seemed like massive amounts of weight, jumped up on boxes over and over and then dropped to the floor doing the aforementioned "burpees" and I got cold feet.  I thought, "No way is this chubby guy going in there!"  Again I figured that I'd have to get in a little better shape before I headed back there!  Fast forward 9 or 10 months and another Living Social offer popped up.  After going through vacation photos and finding my dust covered P90X DVDs in the basement I decided that it was time for a change.  Being 41 years old with poor eating/sleeping habits and still paying my unused "Fat Guy Tax", I knew that I needed to do this.  I convinced my wife Nicole to join me (using the unused LS Coupon) and we walked into 033 together on July 25th of this year.  We again saw those "Crazies" lifting and jumping and doing burpees but we stayed.  We met Coach Tim and it turned out that we had a private beginner's class.  He ran us through the baseline WOD and I quickly realized how out of shape I was.  Tim thoroughly explained the program and stressed form and safety over speed.  We left a little shaky but I knew we were hooked!  They say it takes 21 days to form a habit.  This was definitely the case in jump-starting my journey with 033.  Some days the drive to the Box was tough, not knowing what was in store - but in each class the coaches explained and broke down the WODs, scaled our weight appropriately and coached us on form and safety.  The Team Spirit and camaraderie was like nothing I'd seen before at a gym.  When was the last time you saw an entire gym cheer you on when you come in last place?  They all make you feel like a champion in every class!  What this does for your self-confidence is amazing and keeps you coming back for more.  Five months later, we both have seen unimaginable results!  We have met some amazing people of all ages, fitness levels and all walks of life and the Coaches are first rate.  The anticipation of getting to the Box each day makes me feel like a kid again.  It's definitely one of the highlights of my day!  And while we are there, it is an hour to unplug from everything and focus on true fitness.  In just five months I feel stronger, more confident and my clothes don't fit anymore - definitely a good problem! I can honestly say that I haven't been in this good of shape since my early twenties. And I know the best is yet to come! I can't say enough about Coaches Tim, Patryk, Dave "Ski" and Merle.  Thank you for welcoming us into the fold and for guiding us through this journey.  I look forward to what 2014 will bring! So for those of you who are watching from outside - debating about whether or not to start, don't hesitate to jump in!  Walk through the door and I can almost guarantee that CrossFit 033 (and the rest of the Relentless Nation) will be one of the best decisions of your life - the CrossFit Relentless family is hands down the best place to start your journey! read more

I am so thrilled that I found 033 and the Relentless Nation (033 + 4 other 'boxes' in the Hartford area)! My husband pretty much dragged me into this place. He wanted to try it and rather than spend extra time apart I figured it was a good idea to do something healthy together. The only time I ever lifted weights in my life was using Nautilus machines in college and I've never been able to do a push up or pull up. (Though I can dance my booty off and get a great cardio workout with a good Zumba class. Haha). I was so intimidated watching these awesome people lifting weights and jumping on boxes and doing all these other crazy things I thought I would never do, yet everyone is so friendly and encouraging. And now I'm one of those 'crazy' people. From day one, the coaches immediately put me at ease. They scale workouts and ensure you learn proper form. They make sure to correct you (nicely) when there's room to improve, especially to avoid injury. They cheer you on and suggest when its time to up the weight or lose an assist band. They remember when you've been out sick or when you pull a muscle and check up on you to make sure you're okay. It's just that kind of place, the kind of place that you love going to, a place where you can check out of your problems or stress for an hour and just get in the zone. Best of all, it's good for your health. And guess what... I started in late July 2013 and I can now do unassisted push ups. Still need an assist band on pull-ups but I'll get there! I would highly recommend 033, REGARDLESS OF YOUR CURRENT FITNESS LEVEL. You will get addicted. read more

For many years I participated in running events /sprint triathlons. I trained independently - but not consistently. I was in a place in which I began to get bored and needed to spark my program. There was a "boot camp" in town that was fun, but I knew I wanted more of a challenge. As I began to get complacent, I stumbled on a video posted by CrossFit Relentless that immediately captured my interest! I got the courage to try one class and immediately I was hooked!! In consideration of my background, my initial thought was that I would "transition" well - little did I know how much I was about to learn! Nearly three years later, I am still grateful I stumbled on that video. The program has made an amazing impact on my life - not only inside but outside my workouts. The Coaches are amazing as their focus is on safety and form and helping you to set/achieve goals. The sense of community in this program is simply amazing. No one leaves the floor until everyone has completed their workout ... every WOD is an event in itself in which we all walk away feeling an amazing sense of accomplishment. That excitement keeps all of us coming back for more! Over time, this has become a way of life for me. Everyday stress can take its toll, but I know once i am at the gym and I hear 3-2-1 - go ! all the stress turns into the positive energy I need to erase it all. I walk away feeling stronger, more focused and ready for what comes my way next! With a new year upon us, now is the perfect time to invest in your health and yourself by coming to join us in a class at 033! read more

I am so glad I started Crossfit at 033 in Glastonbury. Box jumps, doubleunders and deadlifts were not in this suburban housewife's vocabulary. It was intimidating at first, but this isn't just a boys club. There are many women of all ages lifting barbells and swinging kettlebells here. I was eased into it by the great coaching staff and warmly welcomed by the amazing 033 members. The knowledgeable coaches helped guide me through the array of exercises and equipment and taught me to workout beyond what I ever thought my body was capable of doing. Crossfit is an empowering and amazing fitness program. You will see results. You will get stronger. You will get faster. You will set fitness goals and you will reach them. If you are looking to try Crossfit you need to look no further than 033 in Glastonbury. read more

Just wanted to share a thank you to the relentless nation family...I have been to a lot of different gyms/facilities and on a lot of teams in my day. I played soccer & ran track before and after college and rugby during college (yes, for real I had a little more weight on me then). None of these gyms or teams have challenged me or made me feel as rewarded and accomplished like crossfit has. I've been with the relentless family for about 9 months now and it's made a tremendous impact on my life. I am stronger physically and emotionally and continue to grow in both. I appreciate all the continuous improvements too! You guys do so much to keep upgrading each box. Coming from a corporate day job, I admire how quickly you can implement change!! Thanks for all you guys do! read more

CrossFit 033 is one of five boxes in the CrossFit Relentless Nation. I have been a member at CrossFit South Windsor location for 3 months and recently had the opportunity to start taking classes at CF033. The first that struck me when I walked into CF033 is the friendly feel and welcoming atmosphere. The coaches and the members alike introduce themselves make you feel right at home. The second thing that I notice is the quality of the instruction provided by every coach I have met in the CF Relentless Nation and CrossFit 033 is no exception. It is obvious that the coaches know their stuff and go out of their way to make sure you are working safely. Often times newbies (like myself) are working on athletic moves that are unfamiliar or awkward. The coaches guide you on the proper technique or a scaled down version that provide you the building blocks to eventually progress to that first muscle up or hand stand push up. If you have been interested in CrossFit and never given it a try, check out CrossFit 033. It is a great box, full of great people (coaches and members). You've gotten nothing to lose (except maybe a little un-wanted weight) and everything to gain (like a bunch of new friends and a stronger, healthier you). read more
