CrossFit Wall Street is an amazing place to work out. Class sizes are intentionally small--typically no more than 12 people--which means the knowledgeable coaches have time to provide individual feedback, suggest modifications when needed, and help everyone improve their form. I don't think you'll find this level of personal attention in a group fitness class anywhere else in Manhattan. Just as important, the community is incredibly welcoming and diverse. If you take a class, I encourage you to introduce yourself. The people here are friendly, down-to-earth, and genuinely kind. If you decide to join, you may even find yourself making a few new friends along the way. If you're looking for a challenging workout in a supportive, encouraging environment, I highly recommend giving CrossFit Wall Street a try. read more

If you are looking for a good workout and great community you can't beat Crossfit Wall Street. The facility is top notch with the best equipment and the coaches are all extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The best gym in the financial district area by far! read more

CrossFit Wall Street - Murph at CFWS - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - New York, New York

One of the saddest days I experienced recently was saying goodbye to my coaches, friends, sweaty workout partners, newcomers etc at CrossFit WallStreet. This gym did two amazing things for me. It kept me fit and healthy and happy and it introduced me to some of my closest friends in New York. It was indeed with a heavy heart I departed (for work purposes) to Switzerland. I've found a box CrossFit Kreis9, but as good as it is it doesn't come close to CFWS. Let me tell you why: First off like most things in this world its the people that make things awesome. And CFWS has lots of amazing people. Both current and former coaches are all amazing people. Sarah, Lola, Natalie, Keith, Somerton, Chris, Libby the list goes on and on. The people in the class kick ass too. They challenge you and support you as you lift heavier, row faster, kip better and of course look sexier!! The classes are the perfect size, the equipment is great and the workouts are so well planned and organised. I miss this gym every day and I especially miss all the wonderful people I met in the gym every day. They are my family and will remain my family no matter the distance. I can't wait to come back and drop in and workout with them again. To finish up, if you want to give CrossFit a go, you will not be disappointed by CFWS and you shouldn't be scared about giving CrossFit a try when you come to CFWS. They will take care of you. read more

What's behind everything that makes this box great is that the owner, Keith, is anything but complacent and actually gives a sh*t about his clients, his box, and his business with how clean the facility is, the great shape of the gear (all of the equipment is regularly & professionally serviced), and his attention to detail during workouts. But he's not the only one; the other coaches I regularly see - Libby, Rebecca, and Daniel - all bring individual style to their classes, but share a common amount of effort, patience, attention, and professionalism. The programming is challenging, but Keith and the others have been very good at squeezing every last bit of effort out of me without driving me into the wall. The community has been a big part of why I've quickly settled in here - have yet to meet any meatheads or a**holes - and everybody has been really friendly and welcoming. I've been coming for 4-5 months to the 5am class, and looking forward to seeing the friends I've made gives me a push to get out of bed and go on days when I'd rather just sleep. And that's important because sometimes a workout won't go exactly as I'd hoped, but I'm always happy in the end that I got up and went and challenged myself. And the endorphin rush at the finish is always a nice way to start the day. Fully recommend. If you read this and take the 5am, be sure to say hello. read more

I've been both a member and coach at a number of different CrossFit gyms over the past 10 years and CFWS truly has an exceptional staff (especially the head coach Sarah) and a great community! The programming is thoughtfully designed to help everyone become a fitter version of themselves and the class environment is just the right amount of competitive without being intimidating. Regardless of where you are in your exercise journey you should stop by! read more

I've been training here for the better part of a year and it's changed my perspective on fitness. On top of all of this, the workouts never get monotonous. You'll never stop learning new movements and find yourself getting a little better every day at old ones. I'm in the best shape of my life and am excited to see how much better I can get every time I walk into class. This gym is particularly special because of the focused, but fun, community of members. The coaches are brilliant and prepared to elaborate on fitness philosophy if you're curious. Everyone is friendly, but nobody will let you sink into your comfort zone when you "don't feel like it". read more

Got a chance to observe a class and talk to the people that work there. Everyone is super nice and highly knowledgeable. This is not a place for the faint of heart or casual gym rat. It's intense and requires a big commitment. My son has transformed his physique in five months and is in incredible shape. Vary small and personal classes. read more

I've had the chance to workout in several different CrossFit gyms and CrossFit Wall Street is top notch. Kieth, the owner, really knows what he is doing when it comes to programming, coaching, etc.. the class size are perfect for each member to get one on one coaching and queues throughout the workout. All the members are very nice and there's a solid atmosphere. Feel free to drop in and see for yourself-- it's a very welcoming gym. read more

Having visited a number box's in the city, I must say that CFWS has not only met, but exceeded my expectations. I wasn't sure if CrossFit was for me, but after completing the foundations course, I knew this was the sport for me. For anyone who feels hesitant about CF, trust, that it is for everyone. The coaches (Keith, Libby, Chris, & Somerton) are absolutely amazing! The community/culture they've created is diverse and athletes athletic abilities range (there's always someone you can relate to or someone you aspire to be like). Class size of eight was a big deal for me. You get a good amount of individual attention (you cannot hide lol). If you're ready transform your physique and become mentally tough, then get after it! See you in class. read more

I joined CrossFit Wall Street 3 weeks ago. And i have nothing bad to say about this box. I am a personal trainer, someone who is technically already physically fit and every class i feel like i am being pushed to the next level. Not only that but every class is extremely educational. We don't just do workout we learn why we doing it. What the purpose of it is and how it will benefit the body in the process. Absolutely would recommend it. The classes are the perfect size, filled with people of all levels, the instructors remember your name, and are extremely knowledgeable about what they are doing. Absolutely worth the it. read more

I joined CrossFit Wall Street a month ago and was immediately welcomed into the gym. The coaching has been excellent -- each coach has customized workouts to my ability, but also pushed me past where I thought my own limits were. The classes are very small and have given me a sense of community that I haven't found in other gyms in the area. I am beyond amazed at how the other members are so willing to help me out and offer advice. Additionally, the number of class options is key. Plenty to choose from and easy to find a spot. I would highly recommend CFWS to anyone looking for a program they can stick to. read more

I have done crossfit before for about 3 years then took a year break. Found this gem which is conveniently located close to work. The Box is very clean - which offers stand alone showers (body wash, shampoo, conditioner, towels & lockers that you can rent for $25/mo). The class size is max'd at 8 per class which is a perfect class size. All Coaches Keith, Libby, Sommerton & Chris are extremely knowledgeable, very experienced and fun! They pay close attention to movements & WODs and there to correct your form and push to the next level. I have learned so much more in this box since I started CFWS in May compared to the other boxes I have been to. The people are friendly and super fun to WOD with! I highly recommend CFWS!!! Come visit us. read more

I've had so many friends hop onto the xfit bandwagon and I'm happy to say I have as well! Joined up with Crossfit WS as my main box. I was happy to learn the basics from Paul and I was glad to see that he cared to ensure that his gym members knew what correct form was before handing them over to a real barbell. The class sizes are nice and small and you truly do get to know people that join up. I'll admit that the freebie trial class is a bit salesy, but that's to be expected. I can honestly say that each workout will push you to the max and you'll leave absolutely torn up, but satisfied! read more

I've been a member of CrossFit Wall Street for about 2 months. For years, I have been doing strength classes at great gyms in the city and cardio at soul cycle, but I felt like I was plateauing and I was looking for an additional workout program. I was skeptical of CrossFit in general - due to many friends that have been injured. But, CFWS is a breed apart. Classes are maxed at 8 per instructor. They take their time and insure that you are doing the technique correclty for your skill level. The classes are always challenging and always leave you with a smile on your face. The tone is set by Paul, Keith and Andrew and the vibe is positive and welcoming. In short, killer workouts with top level coaching wrapped in an inclusive and friendly vibe. This is truly is as good as it gets. read more

I really love going to CrossFit wall street. I've been going for about a year and it's definitely the best box I've ever been to. All of the coaches have their own style, so when you come consistently you really benefit from having different people helping you with your weaknesses. I went from being stuck with a lot of movements to PR'ing my movements every few weeks. I love the smaller class sizes because it allows you to really get to know the coaches and the people in your class if you have a preferred time that you go to consistently. Though the classes are small, I've never had trouble getting to go to the time that I wanted. I've been to bigger gyms with the same amount of people where everyone felt more on top of each other at CFWS. Since it's a small space, everyone knows to be respectful of the people around them and to not throw things around wildly. I drop into other gyms when I travel, but even if they're bigger or fancier they never feel as welcoming as when I come back to CFWS. read more

The coaching staff at Crossfit Wall Street is amazing. Libby, Keith, Chris and Somerton are all extremely attentive and bring boundless energy and enthusiasm to each class. I was new to crossfit when I joined five months ago but they quickly taught me the ropes and made me feel welcome. Glad I found them! read more

I recently started CrossFit Wall Street (having never done CrossFit before). I was concerned before doing CrossFit as I read a lot of general negative reviews of CrossFit that coaches tend to be focused solely on pushing you hard, don't know how to correct poor form, and are of general low quality. While I can't speak to anyone else's experiences at other CrossFit gyms, I can tell you from my experience, the coaches here are very high caliber. One complaint might be that the gym is too small and sometimes you're stepping over people, but I think it's actually a blessing in disguise as it forces classes to be no more than 8 people, so you get more personal attention. The coaches are very focused on constantly giving suggestions to tweak your form, and while you'll be pushed hard, they are very long term goal oriented and will slow you down to make sure you're getting proper form. This was my biggest concern with joining a CrossFit gym, but from my experience, this CrossFit Wall Street is top notch in this respect. read more

Super nice and hospitable! Probably the cleanest, neatest crossfit gym I've ever stepped foot in! Even the plates were still shiny and everything was brand new condition! We were wowed by the facility. read more

All they care about is money no sense of community at all, wouldn't recommend it! Owners are curt and bottom line is the dollar which is understood in a business but the simple lack of empathy towards individual progression is just obsolete Some of the coaches are great but from an ownership perspective.... the Trumps of CrossFit just looking to turn a profit and that's it Would give 0 stars if I could they just nickel and dime you read more

I went to CrossFit Wall Street for about six weeks, during which time I spent $790 ($265 of which was refunded), injured myself in three places, and then was kicked out of the gym via email for having a "bad attitude," which, from my perspective, involved my holding back on certain movements and workouts when I was worried I might seriously injure myself. I am a 34 year old woman in pretty good shape for a regular person, which means terrible shape for a Crossfitter. In Jan 2013, I went to a free beginner's class with Keith, one of the two coaches. I didn't particularly like being told to put my whole front down on a dirty gym floor, but I get it, we're going to be hardcore. I signed up for Foundations (3-4 sessions of basics). At the end of our workout, the other coach, Paul, shouted something about how we weren't really working out, because there wasn't any "sweat on the floor." After Foundations, I joined regular classes. Keith said you needed to come three times a week, maybe four, to see results. I came four times a week for about three weeks. I now realize that recommending this to beginners is potentially very dangerous. Classes with Keith were okay, except for when I ended up hurting myself. There was also a theme week called "The Nasty Girls of Crossfit." To Keith's credit, he said he's not sure why they're called girls, since they're accomplished adult women. But, of course, calling something "Nasty Girls" just opens it up for all kinds of offhand jokes ("I like nasty girls, heh heh," etc.) Paul was not encouraging to me at all. His tone was often mocking. But I kept coming and working hard. I started getting injuries. I bought this kind of elastic brace for my elbow. My shoulder started to do weird stuff. One day, I did 250 squats (bodyweight only), where they put a medicine ball under you and your butt is supposed to touch the ball. After, my hip joint was on fire. I really hadn't expected to feel that until I was maybe 70 years old (Oy vey, my hip!) But they really police you to make sure you go down far enough on your squats, so if you're like, "Oh, that hurts, maybe I won't go down quite as far," you get a "Get your butt down on that ball!" I made an appointment with a physical therapist to look at, now, the elbow, the shoulder, and the hip. I figured I'd take a few days off Crossfit, see what the physical therapist says, then get back into it. I went to one more workout, on Friday March 1. We would be running outdoors and then squatting. My quads were still shot from the squatting we had done earlier in the week. We did some warmup sets, and I'm thinking, "Wow, just these warmup sets are kind of a lot. I'd better conserve my strength." I sat one out. This made Paul angry. He refused to acknowledge me for the rest of the workout. The next day, I get an email saying they've terminated my membership and refunded my last payment. Whoa. And: mortifying! I was in the neighborhood, so I walked over and asked why they kicked me out. Keith refused to tell me, but set up a meeting with Paul for Monday. When I arrived at the "meeting", Paul just gave me a blank staredown and didn't say anything. So, they made me stand in the doorway and ask them questions. Paul said he didn't like my attitude (ironic!) I told him that I was frequently being asked to do things that were not possible for me or that were injuring me. I asked, "Don't you think it's reasonable for an adult to decide what to do with their own body, and to adapt whatever's going on to avoid getting hurt?" Answer: That's "not how we do it." So, wow. I thought people only got kicked out of gyms for threatening others or serious offenses. They kicked me out because it's more important that I obey Paul than take care of my own body so I don't get hurt? Really? I was also accused of "giving dirty looks," which I'm pretty sure is just the face I make when I'm trying to visualize and steel myself for doing a complicated multi-step lift. What kind of business kicks you out because of your facial expressions? My final crime was that I "complained about running." Considering that it's been about 30 degrees out, it seems likely that I did indeed complain about running outdoors (and did it anyway, just like everybody else). But, LOTS of dudes complain about the workout ("Oh man, more squats!"), almost as a way of building camaraderie by acknowledging that we are all about to do something hard. I'm pretty sure the last guy who said, "Oh man, this is gonna suck!" didn't get kicked out. Finally, you know what really sucks? When you do an intense workout program, you're letting people see you at your worst. There you are, sweaty and panting and in pain and trying to get those last few reps in and failing again and grunting and finally crumpling with exertion. So getting kicked out and told off by a coach after that is really having someone kick you when you're down. read more

I've been attending classes at crossfit Wall Street for four months now and highly recommend it for anyone looking to change their lifestyle and get in shape. I think that it is wise to enter crossfit with the correct mindset, the idea is to find out where your physical limit is, and work past it. This provides an incredible experience and the atmosphere at Wall Street is very supportive as you push beyond your limitations. Paul and Keith provide a great program that will keep you on your toes and your body guessing. Expect them to try to help you reach your limits similar to any athletic coach would, telling you to push more or try harder is just the way the support system is in crossfit. It is true that pushing yourself this hard opens the door to injuries, that's why the coaches stress form above all else. I've heard Paul say countless times "take weight off and do it right". Be careful and listen to these guys, you'll love the results and find some great friends in the process. read more

I've been to a number of Crossfit boxes/gyms and this one is fantastic. This was my home gym for a year until I had to move out of the city. The personal attention from the two owners (Paul and Keith) is great as are all of the other members of the gym. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that's serious about trying CF or is looking for a new home gym. P.S. -- the 1-star rating by Jennifer is entirely off base. These are criticisms of Crossfit in general (CF isn't for her) and have zero reflection on this specific gym. read more

I came to CrossFit Wall Street not knowing anything about weight training, lifting, etc. Fear and intimidation is what kept me from trying it out. From jump, Keith, Libby, Chris, and Somerton made the transition seamless and took the fear out of fit! The small class size coupled with each of their extensive knowledge and experience are what make Cross Fit Wall Street a success. The sense of community I found has been extraordinary, not to mention the individual attention they give to beginners like me. It doesn't get better than CFWS! read more

I was very skeptical coming into CrossFit at first. I had been working with a personal trainer for years and loved the one on one attention but hated the cost. I was welcomed into the CFWS family with open arms. The coaches are amazing - super supportive, helpful, encouraging and truly let you work at your own pace without feeling uncomfortable. The small classes give the same benefits as personal training at a fraction of the cost. I have been a member for 1.5 years and am in the best shape of my life. I enjoy coming to class to see friendly faces, get a great workout and even have some fun in the process. Would highly recommend it!!! read more

Wanted to put in a good word with these guys - I had a great experience at CF Wall Street. Unfortunately I had to cut my training short due to back issues but I fully recommend this place to anyone who can manage to get in there. Paul and Keith were both great and super knowledgeable and encouraging. The small class sizes are a huge plus. I have had experience with bigger boxes and classes of 25+ people where its easy to get lost in the crowd. Here you get personal attention and most importantly a watchful eye to help prevent incorrect movements and injuries. In short these guys are awesome - can't recommend here enough. read more

I've been a member of the New Street box since day one and I'm in the best shape of my life!! I love that each WOD is mentally and physically challenging with a warmup and skill supporting the WOD. A big plus is the small class size (8 peeps) which allows the coaches to provide individual feedback on technique and monitor form. The vibe of the box is supportive, inclusive and high energy. All I can say is 3 - 2 - 1 - GO read more

I've been shopping around for the right gym since I moved to the financial district a few months ago and I've finally found it! Started at Crossfit Wall Street about two weeks ago with my boyfriend. Great emphasis on form. Awesome trainers. High rec! read more

I have been a member of CrossFit Wall Street for about 9 months now and thoroughly enjoyed it. The coaches are great - Paul and Keith know their stuff and are attentive, clear and encouraging. Classes are small enough that the coaches can really help you work on your own individual issues. And the programming is varied and has a better balance between strength and cardio than any other gym i've been part of. Love it! read more

I have trained at several CrossFit "boxes" in NYC over the past 5 years, but CrossFit Wall Street is definitely my favorite. The small class size (they limit class size to 8 people maximum) is a huge value add, as it allows the coaches to ensure everyone is doing all of the movements properly and safely. I have only been going for about 3 months, but the program has been excellent thus far, and I am definitely seeing/feeling positive results. The coaching staff is fabulous, and it is apparent that they actually care about each member's progress. I would recommend CrossFit WS to both beginners and experienced CF athletes. It is undoubtedly a great place to workout with the added benefits of an awesome group of athletes and a great sense of community. read more

i feel the need to un-do the 1-star rating. keith and paul are fantastic--they are knowledgable, patient, and attentive to form, as to prevent injury. all in all, crossfit is my favorite part of the day (even when my lungs are hating me). read more
