I just started here and while ballet is *crazy* hard i have already learned a few things. A big plus for me is the smaller class sizes which aren't intimidating and you are given individual attention from the teacher. No special clothes required and men dance here too. Bring a water bottle and give it a shot!

Coach Geoff (otherwise known as the General) goes above and beyond for every person that walks in the door.

[CF "VET" maybe not quite a vet...]...STILL LOVE IT HERE! I hope that my enthusiasm is coming across. I have talked to many people about their box and it's scary out there! All of our coaches, George, Dave, Henry, Gina, Rich... all of them are really amazing! They push you to do your best but always have your best in mind. If you have an injury there are modifications and you will push your limits, but safely. The coaches are very focused on form and ensuring that you are not sacrificing form for weight. If you want to try something new they will take time out to help and coach you through it so you can practice. They also celebrate success with you...I stopped and screamed mid-wod when I got my first double under and every clapped....it was magical. The people here....I mean it's the community that makes the box in my opinion and the community here is better than I ever expected. Everyone is supportive and will help you along the way and answer any questions. We always have fun, work hard - play hard. If you are the last one (as I usually am especially with burpees) everyone comes over and cheers you on and will even start doing additional burpees with you to help you finish (shout out to @EricS)...if you have every done a burpee you know what it means to do additional burpees just to help your fellow CF'er through. I can't even consider ever leaving this box and I hope if you are new or experienced that you come down and check it out, trust me, you will get hooked too! _________________________________________________________________ [CF NEWBIE REVIEW}...yep I am in love with this place! I have been going here for almost 2 weeks now and I have had nothing short of the BEST "gym" experience ever! If you have never tried Crossfit before (like me) or you are looking for a more local place to go....you will love Crossfit2st! So we have all been there...gotten that Living Social deal and then had the worst experience ever - BUT NOT HERE! From the moment of purchasing the voucher, everyone has been so patient and accommodating to scheduling. Working with Ana to schedule me and my 3 other friends into the On Ramp course was a great experience...attending the On Ramp course was a great learning experience...and coming to do the WOD's has been an AWESOME experience. The On Ramp course was about 2 hours and we learned about all of the movements, some of the terminology, and learned and practiced the form for the movements. We had plenty of time to ask questions and didn't get rushed in any way. Coming to the first class is always filled with anxiety...I didn't know any of the moves, I didn't want to hold anyone back (obviously I didn't know anything about crossfit before I started) and was pretty "soft" after the holidays - oh you know what I mean. The first class was amazing! The coaches in the evening sessions - George and Clay - are freaking awesome! They knew we were new and paid special attention to our form and helping up through any moves and working the level 1 modifications so we didn't kill ourselves. They make everything look so easy (they are professionals) and it's great to have such great roll models to aspire to. The following days have been just as awesome...the workouts change up every day and anything that you need modified they help you through it. I am so impressed with their knowledge and patience with all of the new people (uhhmmm...me!) and I will absolutely be here as much as humanly possible! Whoop Whoop!

Most…read moremornings I am there getting my workout in with the super welcoming, crazy awake for 6am morning crew. It is a fun crew, who work hard and celebrate pr's all before breakfast. It is also often a well oiled machine as most of us need to get in and get out so we can be on time for work. At night I am there coaching. As a newer box we have a lot of new faces coming in all of the time and I love that they seem to stick around. We must be doing something right! I love teaching a new to CrossFit athlete proper form, you can just see it on their face when it clicks. Usually the first thing that say is "wow, that felt so much easier". Then from there it is the pr's as they finally get into the colored weight plates, enter into the 100lb club, lifting their own body weight, etc. Every pr is time for a celebration in my book! We have a lot of fun at 2 Street and we get a lot of hard work done at the same time. I think it is that balance that keeps the athletes coming back and looking forward to what we have planned for them each class, even the burpees!

TLDR - Good variety of sports, decent officials... but do it for the excuse to get out and have…read moredrinking friends! I've been in PSN leagues for about 3 years now. I've done Coed softball, dodgeball, and bowling leagues, all of which were a casual level of competitiveness. Great for New-to-Towners - When I first started, it was at a time when I'd moved to the city and knew few enough people, so I signed up as a free agent in dodgeball, which launched me into a decent set of Thursday night drinking friends; I continued to play with them for 2 more seasons. This was a fantastic sport, with decent and fair refs, and the 12th street gym staff was always super friendly to us. Also super conviniently located near Irish pub where we get PSN drink specials! Great for groups - My second year in town, I found out some work buddies had a softball team going, and so I joined up with them, and lo and behold, I now had Sunday afternoon drinking friends! I always got a crack out of our ump, who was admittedly only half-interested in regulating our games, but he was a good sport (he played catcher for us in some low-attendance situations) and had enough stubborness to satisfy my desires in an ump (it's not a position for the weak of character). Great for couples - I did the bowling league as a weekly double-date type of deal with another couple. Unfortunately, that league went til about 10pm, and there was no drinking afterward. PSYCHE! There's totally drink service at your lane, and bowling is a great sport for having a few beers. Lucky Strikes is a fine place to bowl; though I don't think I'd frequent there of my own accord, it made for a good night out for the duration of the season. In the end, this catered to exactly what i was looking for - namely an excuse to get out of my apartment, do just enough athletic activity to trick myself into thinking I was being fit (and at a pretty reasonable price)... and, most importantly, going out for drinks afterward.
