Knowledgeable and caring coaching staff and an amazing facility! I'm the director of an organization that provides adaptive and inclusive fitness training for coaches and medical professionals. CrossFit Casco Bay was a host for our seminar and would be my choice of gyms if I lived in the Portland, Maine area. The gym facility is well equipped with just about any type of training aid you could ever hope for.  The gym is clean, organized, and is very spacious for a functional fitness style facility.  There's showers and plenty of parking out front.  The space used to be a garage and so it has these amazing garage doors that let in a ton of natural light and open up to allow fresh air flow. These people just get it!  They're caring and easily connect with their clients.  They also are highly educated in fitness training and continue to pursue more knowledge to enable them to pass that onto their members.  This is the gym I use when traveling to the area and if I lived anywhere near Portland, I would definitely be a member!  Go check them out! read more

Crossfit Casco Bay - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Portland, Maine

It is only within the last month than I have begun coming here. As a mother of 2 special needs kids, my time is limited to say the least... Add to that the fact that I have a genuine spinal condition as well as a need for routine pain medications and you would think something like crossfit is out of my league. However all of the instruction and all of the coaches have been amazingly clear, concise, helpful... and every coach there has been encouraging and friendly! I'm starting out more than 300 pounds. And they are doing everything they can to show me how to make it easier until I'm ready to do it the more challenging way. Many of the members I met were talking about activities they do together outside of the gym! It is LGBTQ IA community friendly and many members, including myself were happily discussing our families and same gendered spouses. I am really looking forward to the changes this exercise and community environment can bring to my every day life. read more

Wasn't the best welcome anyone in my group has ever received dropping into another gym. Our welcome, after we declared we were dropping in, was "I can see that". From there, it was nothing but a series of shaming, despite our efforts to reach out to the gym ahead of time. 1. It is not our fault your website is misleading. We filled out the "drop in" form, but nothing populated from it. 2. It is not our fault you don't have paper waivers on hand. 3. We could have happily tended to the waiver and payment at the end of class. 4. Had you looked like you were open, we wouldn't have sat in the car for 10 minutes prior to coming in. 5. People showed up after us, who were happily welcomed in, though I assume they were members. Despite, being timely shouldn't be selective. We never caught the name of the coach, because she didn't take the time to introduce herself. As a coach myself, this is poor PR. First impressions are everything; and had I not been eager for a workout, I would have turned around and left. I will be seeking alternative gyms next time I come to town. Despite these flaws, the workout was a good one and there were a handful of members that made the effort to interact with my group and myself. Community is everything, and if nothing else, they seem like they have a good one going. read more

Very friendly and awesome coaches. I stopped in when I was home for break. You really never know what you'll get walking into a new Crossfit gym. It can go one of two ways: awesome OR you feel like the new kid on the bus with no friends. CF Casco Bay was a great, friendly and fun space. Highly recommend dropping in if you're in the area. Taking off one star because I wish the music had been louder and the workout was set up to be a bit more competitive (but it might have just been the WOD I dropped in on). read more

*Update* I just did my last class with these guys as I'm moving up to Bath as getting down to Portland daily is a trek. Since the last review, I'm went down weight wise from 210 to 175 as I paired it with keto. I feel like I'm in much better shape and have a lot more energy for sure. These guys have great instruction and do amazing work. If looking for a box, check these guys out. You won't regret it. As for me, I'll be continuing my crossfit with a local spot in Bath, but I'm glad I got some good training from the coaches a CFCB. read more

Come for the workout, stay for the community... I joined this gym as a way to compliment my running addiction. I've been a 4-5 times a week member now for almost two years because the coaches are knowledgeable and the members are supportive. I've seen HUGE progress in my General Physical Preparedness... read more

Awesome spot to drop in at on vacation to Portland. Super friendly coaches and very knowledgeable about CrossFit.

CrossFit Casco Bay was my first real introduction to CrossFit. I joined the gym about a month ago with some long distance running experience but very little weightlifting experience. Beginners go through three one-on-one foundations classes to get them up-to-speed on key movements. Overall, CrossFit Casco Bay is a great place to develop holistic fitness whether you're a beginner or an experienced CrossFit athlete. Coaches and other members are very helpful and attentive, always keeping your physical safety as their main priority. Definitely would recommend giving it a try! First class is FREE!!! read more

Came for a drop in and the place is so friendly and welcoming! The trainer was quick to help and explain new movements. Truly a lovely experience and will definitely go back if I'm in the area again. read more

Fantastic visit at Crossfit Casco Bay. Friendly and welcoming. The owner/coach was helpful, interactive and encouraging. Loved the skill work we did. We would definitely come back! read more

Crossfit Casco bay is the best Crossfit hands down. I joined after going to a standard gym and working out alone which was not working for me. The Crossfit Casco bay coaches helped me work on my form and taught me how to work out correctly all while having fun! You won't regret joining or dropping in. read more

Everyone there is friendly, great atmosphere, and the coaches have a wealth of knowledge about proper lifting form and exercise habits!

CFCB changed my life! I was always the one who didn't do sports and hated going to the gym. Well, that WAS me until I found Crossfit Casco Bay. I literally started at zero with no endurance or strength but Sam, Nick and all the other great coaches welcomed me with open arms - and so did the members of the CFCB community. The classes are never crowded, which gives the coaches time to work with each athlete individually. You're not ready to do a pull up or push up? No worries - the coaches will give you scaling options so you will work your way to your goals and still feel more than accomplished after each workout. At CFCB you are part of a community and not just a member of a gym. Everyone knows you by name. I am excited to go back everyday! read more

Nick and Sam are so friendly and welcoming. The hours are fantastic and there is open gym the whole time they are own, which works perfectly for me bc I don't actually do crossfit anymore- I just lift. These guys could not have been more accommodating. Large space for the gym with ample bathrooms. Also, the members here seem less cliquey than a previous cf in Portland I went to. also, they have Greg Panora, who is an excellent resource for all things strong! All around, a great place to be at! read more

I started crossfit this summer. The intro classes were really awesome and it's something you don't find too often (3 private/semi-private classes to get you started). I recently switched to Power Hour with Greg Panora and I feel like this class is a huge benefit and asset to training at CFCB. It's been such a fun and beneficial workout--I've already seen pretty amazing results in just a few months! And, and unexpected bonus is the awesome people and community I've started to become a part of. Thank you! read more

I was incredibly nervous to try CrossFit, but the folks at CrossFit Casco Bay were encouraging and patient. The environment is welcoming and light. I highly recommend them! read more

Crossfit Casco Bay is an outstanding gym for many reasons. The owners, Nick and Sam have created highly professional programs and a community atmosphere like no other gym. The coaches are knowledgeable and very skilled at creating individualized programs for participants. If anyone wonders if CrossFit is made for them, come and try it out. I can guarantee you'll join and never turn back! read more

Hands down the best gym in Maine. The coaching can help you improve your fitness no matter what level you are at - from beginner to advanced. If you want to work on your mobility and flexibility, there is someone there to help you. If you prefer to train with world class athletes (literally) there are coaches at CFCB that can get you there. Most importantly, the ownership is professional - the gym is always open and there are no personalities to deal with. Just go in, have some fun and watch the results. read more

CFCB is a great crossfit gym! The people are great and it feels like everyone here really wants you to succeed and reach your fitness goals. From knowledgable coaches to the fellow athletes, everyone is positive and respectful! I have learned through my time here that Crossfit is really for anyone and everyone. Give CFCB a try, you'll be glad you did! read more
