I was on the fence between continuing my fitness at Orange Theory or trying something new with CrossFit. I took a leap of faith & could not have picked a better place. It is intimidating at first but between the coaches & the other classmates they will help you. Plenty of modification for all athletic abilities or physical limitations. After your first class, you'll wish you started yesterday. read more

Have been going here for 2 months. Best fitness experience I have had. Coaches are awesome. Trainer is amazing. Results are encouraging. You are encouraged to go at your own pace while still maxing out. It is a real family community. read more

9 month update: The owner has put so much care and attention into the facilities; the quality of the coaching continues to exceed my expectations, and the creativity in the daily programming is equally as exciting and fun as it is challenging. My number one fear in starting crossfit was that I would hurt myself. I was very skeptical of the idea of crossfit. I can say the attentive and informed coaching here has taught me the proper way to lift and keep myself safe and injury free - and that has done so much for my confidence. 9 months into it, not only am I healthy and pain free but I'm also a hell of a lot stronger. For example, in my 14 years of snowboarding, for the first time this season I was able to ride really hard all day long without any muscle soreness the next day. I'm also busting out pullups and lifting heavy barbells - two examples of things that I never would have imagined I'd EVER be able to do, let alone that I'd come to LOVE doing! I'm still SO excited to show up to class. I've made tons of really meaningful friendships here and have enjoyed welcoming all the newcomers in. Watching people overcome their fears and weaknesses, seeing them setting goals and crushing them, and having the heart to keep the effort in all the way through to the end of the workout -- the positive energy is just amazing energy here, it's contagious and inspiring and it keeps me going.... just one of the many things that makes this place so fantastic. Looking forward to another year of awesomeness at Crossfit Prowess!! read more

Best trainers and friendly environment. One place to achieve all your nutrition and fitness goals.

Coaches are great. Lots of individualized attention and adaptations! Progress is measured and rewarded! Great place to get a good workout!

For most of my life, I fell into the "weightlifting is for boys" and "the thinner the better" mindset. I tried running for a while and the second my pants got tighter (obviously from going from zero muscles to actually having one or two), I quit. GETTING BIGGER IS BAD, right?? That's what is ingrained in women from the time they're able to turn on the TV. So, I just decided to stay "skinny fat". Safer that way... Until you realize that you need your husband to lift everything for you and open all of the damn jars of jelly that you swear MUST be glued shut. Enter: CrossFit Prowess. I decided that I was sick of being skinny fat and wanted to do something about it. I had been doing Pilates and yoga for a while (and still do, I love it and it's very complimentary to CF), but you can only get so strong without weight training. One of my good friends had started CrossFit a few months prior and she kept telling me I would love it. Love what exactly??!!?? Lifting heavy dirty bars, people making weird noises and then ending up on the floor in a puddle of their own sweat and tears?? Nah, I'm good. I'll just chill over here in my comfort zone. My husband started at Prowess the week before I did and told me the same "you'll love it" story. Ughhhhh, fine. I'll give it ONE MONTH. I'm pretty sure I told the owner of Prowess, Jason, the day I signed up that he would be responsible for buying me a new wardrobe if I got big from lifting weights. And I'm pretty sure he wanted to tell me to eff off but he didn't... Not out loud anyway... My first WOD was terrible. It was 8.5 minutes long and I literally thought I was going to die. But, as any good CrossFitter will tell you, you'll pass out before you die, so keep going. I refused to actually throw up at the box in front of Jason so I walked out and got in my car so that I could puke around the corner with no witnesses. Then I went home and laid in the bed for the rest of the day wondering why that was so hard. Anything that makes you feel THAT BAD can't be good for you, right?? I went back the next day though. And the next day, and the day after that. Let me be clear: throwing weights over your head feels freaking AWESOME. Climbing your first 15 ft rope while all of your fellow Crossfitters stop what their doing to cheer you on feels AWESOME. Looking at the bruises, cuts, blisters and scrapes on your body from what you accomplished at the box that day is gratifying as hell. One of my fellow Prowess members said it best "what we do in the box is a very primal, raw thing". And she's right. Nothing that we do as adults breaks you down and builds you back up as a better you like CrossFit. You'll get to the bottom of that ugly ass basement in your mind and learn things about yourself you never knew. You have to be ready for that. So, here we are, 9 months later. I have gained 10 lbs., my pants are tighter than they used to be, my ass is bigger than it used to be. My calves and arms are too. But guess what... I'm a better version of myself than I've ever been. I could pick all 5 of my children up and carry them out of a burning building if I needed to, I can carry all of my groceries in without getting tired, I can rearrange my furniture without help, I'm surrounded by the best community of people that I sweat with every week. And I can open my own damn jar of non-Paleo jelly, thank you VERY much. So yes, you should sign up. Tell Jason I sent you read more

Great gym! My husband has been doing CrossFit for over 4 years now, starting in DC, then continuing in Miami, and now in Rhode Island (the joys of being a military family - we move a LOT!). This is definitely the best 'box' he's been to - the owner Jason is really into making sure his clients are doing things correctly, to their own fitness level, and that it's a great experience for everyone. Even after 4 years of experience, Jason was able to help improve my husband's technique and form, which has stopped his chronic back pain (which was, in my opinion, caused by lousy form and rushing through movements in the competitive but inattentive atmosphere of the Miami CrossFit box). If you're considering doing CrossFit, this is a good place to give it a try. I took a few classes, though CrossFit has never been my thing, but there's lots of women in the classes and they're all in great shape. read more

This place has a great atmosphere. Jason, the owner, really wants to get to know you and help you reach your fitness goals. He is will to push you but willing to understand your limitations. I've been to other gyms before and he is really focused on form, safety and an encouraging environment. I feel that my skills have improved a lot here in just a few weeks. The work outs are a good variety, intense and push you in different ways. They do a lot of community events and fundraisers to try and allow cross work-out group communities to build. I travel for work every 3 months and found this place to be one of the better ones, I felt welcomed and part of the group very quickly. Great times for classes and weekend workouts! read more
