I've been going to this CrossFit gym for around 18 months now and I've really enjoyed my fitness…read morejourney here. Starting out I didn't know much about weightlifting forms and different movements, but I was eager to learn. The coaches at CFCC cater to all fitness and experience levels and always take the time during class to teach you the different movements and techniques. Since starting at CFCC I felt like I've learned so much about fitness and training, and I still learn something new to refine my technique each class! Looking back to where I started, I owe everything I know about fitness to CFCC now. The average class at CFCC starts with a strength portion of weightlifting where we all focus on technique as everyone lifts together. This is always my favorite part because I feel I am able to refine my skills to start seeing results in my lifts. The second part of the class is the conditioning WOD, what CrossFit is typically known for. These are always fun, yet challenging, to make sure everyone pushes themselves and reach their goal. The group setting is wonderful and I often find I push myself to get a better workout than I would on my own. Ending the class there is also usually a stretching/tabata/miscellaneous portion to finish up the workout. I am really glad I joined CFCC. The coaches and other athletes here are a great community that constantly help each other strive for their goals and the continuous improvement of ourselves.

I've been a CrossFit member at the Coolidge Corner (CFCC) location for almost 2 years. During this…read moretime, I have achieved several fitness goals that I set for myself including loosing weight, increasing muscle mass, improving overall health and wellness and learning new exercises and techniques. I was at another gym prior which was good enough but I was hitting a wall in terms or progress. My sister recommended CF as the way to take my fitness goals to the next level. She was right as rain and I've never looked back. CFCC is a fantastic gym with fantastic coaches, members and equipment. Below are a few meaningful highlights: Coaching - I've worked out in the mornings, evening and weekend classes, all of which are staffed by fantastic coaches. They are all attentive, knowledgable and are critical to the success of everyone who attends. They are extremely friendly, approachable and take the time to explain movements and techniques. They will also give personal attention to anyone who needs a little more explanation on something. Facilities - When I first joined CFCC, they were in a different location which has pretty good. In the last year, they moved down the street and now occupy a really cool, spacious location below the Brookline Teen Center. The space was custom built and is great to work out in. Most, if not all of the equipment is new or in great condition and there is plenty of parking for cars and bikes. There are also clean bathrooms, changing rooms and showers. Many times, our routines take us outside - the neighborhood is great and there are plenty of sidewalks to run on. Lastly, the location is only a 4 minute walk from the Brookline Village T Station and an 8 minute walk from the Coolidge Corner T Station. Programming - When I was leaving my last gym, they warned me that I would sustain injuries because CrossFit is a more intensive program...nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, CrossFit is a much higher intensity workout than most regular gyms but at the beginning of every class, the coaches take ample time and put lots of emphasis on the importance of warming up, stretching and other preventative techniques to make sure there are no injuries during the class. I have NEVER sustained an injury while at CFCC. The WODs are always super interesting and challenging. I've never been bored by a WOD since I've been there. Lastly, there are several CF-sanctioned events and competitions as well as improvement clinics. The last clinic I attended was on jump rope double unders..before the clinic, I could only do single unders....after I was starting to do double unders! Culture - CFCC has a great culture. Among members, there exists a great comradery - everyone is always encouraging each other to do their best and even sharing how they reached a goal that you might be working on. The coaches will always push you to work hard, but NOT in a way that you feel pressured to over exert yourself. I welcome it whenever a coach recommends that I should increase weight or try a different technique...that's how you get better. There are also lots of CFCC events both sanctioned and members based which does a good job of getting members together outside of the gym which is a nice way to make new friends or hang out with like-minded people. Once you become a member, there is a members Facebook site that's at the heart of communciations. Be involved as much or as little as you choose. If you're looking to take your health and fitness to the next level, do yourself a favor and sign up for a trial membership at CFCC. For $99, you can come as much as you want for an entire month. That's how I got my start...maybe this is how you'll get yours.

No one videoing themselves doing a push up which is also refreshing. If you live or work in the area, I highly recommend Bodyscapes. Hard to find gyms with this level of service anymore.

Something I love about this studio is it welcomes all ages and abilities. It can be very intimidating walking into a new place and this studio does a great job of welcoming all. I am excited to try all the different classes they have to offer! The only downside is since it is such a small studio, they do not have a ton of class times to choose from. But that being said, I have never had an issue getting into a class or finding one that fits my schedule. My favorites are the TRX Bootcamp with Alex and the Power BURN with Jonathan. I can not recommend this place enough if you are looking for a strength training workout!

I signed back up for ClassPass recently and was so thankful to be able to take BURN classes again, even during a pandemic. I've since gone back into the studio for in-person classes, which are masked and have limited capacity, but now prefer to take their classes online. My favorite classes have been Tabata Burn and Power Burn. Jonathan, who teaches both, is charismatic and makes the class feel engaging even through Zoom. I would say the classes are challenging, but suited for all skill levels, and they encourage you to modify the workouts for whatever feels good for you.

Conveniently located near the hotel, it was short walk and easy to find. The gym is a the typical box, gritty and the look of a hard workout is about to happen here. I was the first to arrive and immediately greeted by coach Eric. He quickly checked me in and I made them aware of needing modifications on certain movements. He gave me some stretches I can use. The class was composed of warm up/agility, stretching, strength training and finally the WOD. The coach did not assume I knew the movements which I appreciated and he showed us proper form for every movement. We used agility hurdles to warm up with burpee penalty for knocking down the hurdles, which is good practice in discipline. I felt warmed up after the hurdles having to fulfill burpee penalties twice. Then we used foam roller, kettle bell and racquet ball to warm up and shoulder mobility. We spent a good 20 minutes for warm up and mobility which is helpful and much needed. Strength training was another 20 minutes of push press. The coach was helpful in making sure our form was correct and efficient. I felt more accomplished in getting the form right and he made sure of that. Finally, our WOD was a challenging chipper with 3 movements at high reps. It was daunting at first and I was gassed but I got through it with the coach's encouragement. The coach was motivating without being militant. It is obvious the gym does well in providing top notch instuction. Limiting their class size provides the individualized attention needed to avoid poor form and injuries. CFF is great for any fitness level and makes crossfit an attainable activity for anyone.

I rang the bell for assistance, exactly as instructed on the posted sign, and politely asked the associate to refill my water bottle because I was wrapped in a towel. With male trainers present on the floor, this already felt uncomfortable for me due to prior trauma. The response I received felt dismissive and lacked basic courtesy. In a women-focused space, staff should understand and respect privacy concerns without making members feel awkward for asking for help. More concerning is locker room security. Items have been taken from my gym bag on three separate occasions, all on different days. In the most recent incident, my entire gym bag was taken and later abandoned once the person realized there was nothing valuable inside. This shows a pattern, not a one-off mistake. This gym charges premium prices, and repeated theft in the locker room is unacceptable. There needs to be stronger security, monitoring, and communication around this issue. Finally, there needs to be clarity and enforcement around the presence of male trainers in an all-female gym, especially near locker room areas. Many members choose women-only gyms specifically for safety, comfort, and privacy reasons. This expectation should be taken seriously, not minimized. I am asking management to: * Train staff to respond respectfully to reasonable requests. * Address ongoing locker room theft with real preventive measures. * Clearly communicate and enforce policies around access to women-only spaces. Until these issues are addressed, I cannot recommend this gym. I hope leadership takes this feedback seriously and makes changes that protect and respect its members.

There's mood lighting, upbeat music, and no more than 8 people a class really.
