Wrote the following in October of last year and putting it on Yelp now. Everything I said still…read morestands. I'm leaving the city for a while and it makes me sad to leave them. TL;DR: NOT ALL CXF GYMS ARE MADE THE SAME. GET YOUR TUSH TO THIS GYM. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. Context: I waited about a month to write this review. I played rugby in college and had mild exposure to CXF. Two years later, in medical school, I find myself yearning to be physically fit and strong again. Sitting all day does not bode well for your body. I'm not a fitness junkie, but definitely try my best to fight sloth and lethargy. So, I was thrilled when this gem of a gym opened up just down the street from me. Here are the reasons why they simply are the best: I. THE COACHES. Seriously. They are fantastic, friendly, and phenomenal. Their personal records, dedication to the sport and fitness, and love for people really are a testament to how a gym can quickly start to feel like family. You'll know when they start making fun of you without hesitation. Just dish it right back. In addition, they are patient and are humble about being knowledgeable. They use terms you understand. They are attentive to you during your workout. They remember details about your life. They modify workouts for you, even if you're in a big class. They care. Basically, I love them. Did I also mention they have lives outside of CXF? Raising kids, dental school, chasing business goals, expanding gyms, just to name a few. No excuses. Make fitness a priority in your life; they'll help you achieve your goals and then some. II. THE PEOPLE. If you're new to the city, this is one of the best ways to make new friends. If you want to be around people who won't talk about things related to your 8-5 schedule, this is the place to be. And, the sense of camaraderie is tangible here. Your gym-mates are always cheering you on. Yeah there's that awkward first hello, but once you start going regularly, you start feeling thankful that you know these people. We laugh, we sweat, we grunt, we smile, we (feel like) throwing up, we ache, we roll, we dance... you get the idea. We do the WOD's. These humans are freakin' awesome. So, say hello. III. THE PATRIOTISM. You'll see the flags of our military branches hanging proudly in this gym. Google Travis Manion. Better yet, I've done it for you: http://www.travismanion.org. Come to Friday workouts because the WOD honors a soldier who has given everything for our freedom. Because you should subscribe to the notion that the best way to honor the fallen is by challenging the living. And, let Travis' infamous partying words infuse your life: "If not me, then who?" Take ownership of what you do, care for others, in small ways and in big ways. IV. THE SIMPLICITY. You don't have to be a nut about fitness, calorie counting, the in's and out's of CXF, etc in order to enjoy this gym and all it has to offer. Partake of what suits your fancy. Obviously, challenge yourself. Being in medical school has taught me that there are certain seasons where certain things take priority, but that doesn't mean that I can't still do things I enjoy, even if in small doses. So, do what you can and give it your all while doing so. And, don't compare. Comparison is the thief of joy. Joy + exercise rush = happy camper. V. THE PRICING. No but really, they are serious about helping out their students. If you actually make your three workouts a week, it's about 13 dollars a workout. That's probably what you spend on two Starbucks runs/study sessions. So, cut out the two trips and replace it with a workout. Choose a cheaper drink. I've definitely camped out at coffee shops for 8 hour study sessions after buying one iced coffee. Sorry I'm not sorry. Just make it work. Your body will thank you, and you'll be better energized to study/work. Win-win. If you're not a student strapped with loans, I don't want to hear your financial woes. VI. THE 6 AM. This workout slot holds a special place in my heart. I haven't heard of another CXF gym that opens that early. If I start clinic at 8AM, I can get to my workout, shower/breakfast, and bike to clinic right in the nick of time. If the gym opened half an hour later, I wouldn't be able to workout at all in the morning. I usually leave my phone at home. It's a time and space where no one can reach you. When you're done, you feel like you can take on the day - no sweat. So, I'm thankful. Like I said at the top of this post, not all CXF gyms are the same. So, choose well. And lastly, you probably have misconceptions about CXF; just talk to one of the coaches and clear it up. It's not just for gym rats, competitive athletes, etc. It's also for normal people with normal fitness goals. All in all, I think I've made it clear that this gym and its staff rock my world and have been a wonderful addition to my life. See you there!

CF UCity is still 5+ stars in my book. Since my last review over a year ago, I've joined the box…read moreand now go three times a week. I even competed in the Crossfit open this year, which was rather intimidating at first, but the coaches were very helpful, positive and encouraging, which made the experience fun and competitive. For anyone who is considering crossfit, UCity is a great place to begin. The coaches always take classes through a thorough warm-up and demonstrate proper form on all lifts. If it's your first time doing a particular lift or exercise, modifications are always made. There are many opportunities that help build community for members, such as: Paleo Challenges, WOD and wine nights, swim WODs in the summer, etc. Members are super friendly and encouraging and I look forward to seeing familiar faces each time I attend a class. After 10 months of working out consistently at UCity, I am certainly in the best shape of my life. Join this box, get some gainz, and have some fun!

Some of our classes are just a few people and the personalized instruction is something you can't get at most gyms without paying for personal training (now that's expensive). We were crossfit newbies and Jim went over the basis with us so we would be ready for class. Our first few weeks were tough and it continues to be but in just a short amount of time we can both feel the difference in our energy, stamina, and strength. Meg is an amazing coach and knows just how to push you to be your best. She cares about your success and health. When my bf hurt his back she ran to buy him a heat pack in the middle of class and sat by him for the rest of it. I can't say enough positive things about this box and am so happy we made the decision to start!

I'll admit, I begrudgingly went to the second class dreading the various cycles we had gone through the week before. I assumed that because the classes were free, they would be exactly the same. Wrong! Every single class has been different. Each has been painful in its own special way, but for me, not knowing what's next makes it easier to push through. This has kept me going back for more week after week. Although I already have a gym membership and pay for another boot camp in NJ, I am seriously considering looking into Platoon's programs.

As my Philly fitness tour continues, I found myself at Ranger training after some encouragement…read morefrom Katrina C. We had been taking some boot camp classes together and she kept saying I had to try ranger training. I actually used to walk by these crazy people at 6am in Rittenhouse when I walked to spin class, but with Versafit now defunct, and the sun rising too late to get in my morning run, I decided to become one of these people. I got a great deal from groupon and after returning from vacation finally gave the ranger training a try. My first experience was a positive one. There were about 8 people in the class, and we started right away with a few sets of jumping jacks. I pretty much didn't stop moving for the entire 45 minutes with running, push-ups, burpees, mountain climbers, tricep dips, and high knees all part of the routine. Sgt. Nate expects you to do what he says, but it doesn't seem like he would make you do anything you really can't do. He's also very firm with his instructions, and if you don't follow them expect to do some extra push-ups, but he's encouraging and didn't yell at anyone. He really seems committed to helping people get healthy. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing with it.

After 6 to 8 weeks of recovery pain* I'm now at a point where I feel only gentle "reminders." Bonus points & stars to Sgt. Nate because he always has the perfect stretch to alleviate my muscle woes. My results speak loud and clear - as amazing yelpers Christine B & Katrina C can also attest. When I started in the beginning of October I was not able to complete a full push up, I could do 23 rowers (situps) in 1 minute & run a mile in 7:47. Two months with Sgt. Nate and I can now do 20 real push-ups & 37 rowers in a minute as well as run a mile in 7:17. Thanks Sarg & all my fellow PTFers I couldn't have done it without you! *Note: I did NOT have a strict workout regimen before joining PTF, hence my blubbery muscles & associated recovery pain from Ranger Training workouts.

When…read moreI started, I was out of shape and felt like I couldn't do anything; lots of movements caused pain due to my surgery. The coaches at warhorse were super patient with me, adapted the workouts to what I could handle. Now I'm hitting all time PRs not just in bench press but also in deadlift and squat! Never thought I would be able to deadlift ever again, never mind hitting all time PRs on a regular basis! It's a very unique set up for a gym. Usually you have to choose between very expensive personal training or generic group classes if you don't want to go solo at the gym. Warhorse is the perfect balance, you get all the support you need when just starting out and when you get more comfortable you can be as independent as you want. The program always gives options to choose from to fit your goals or level. Trainer is always available to answer questions, help pick exercises from the program; help with form or give you a spot for a new PR. And all the trainers here are awesome!
