I joined just looking for a place to get a bootcamp type workout. I couldn't find any decently priced bootcamp classes so CrossFit was my last resort. I had all the hesitations of CrossFit as anyone else, I'll get injured, everyone will be grunting and throwing weights around, I won't understand anything etc. I said I'd give it a month and if I hated it, I'd leave. Almost two years later I had to leave only due to a job relo and I miss OCCF! Clearly they've got something great going on here. Pros: -Mike is welcoming to all levels of fitness and isn't afraid to push you to get the most out of every workout. No he's not screaming in your face, he's encouraging you to put every ounce of effort you have into your workout. -they are sticklers on form. I was coached on my form at nearly every workout. They don't want you doing it the wrong way. -the box is incredibly clean, and the equipment is top of the line. I only appreciate that now as other CrossFit's I am checking out in my new town are nowhere near the quality of OCCF. -all the coaches know your name. You are not member 4774 at Globo gym. They know you, what your working on and this holds you accountable for when you feel like you want to skip a day, but you know they'll ask where you've been. :-) -other members are incredibly welcoming and non judgmental of your fitness level. -they customize workout programs focused on your goals. They also use an app so you can track your progress and encourage (and get encouragement) on your workout from other members. -you can always make it into classes, I can't recall being capped out of a class due to capacity - which is so nice compared to other gyms where you have to 'commit' 24 hours in advance Cons -you will be sore but in a 'I worked my butt off and it feels good sore' so is it really a con? Try out a class. It's welcoming, it's challenging, you'll be addicted, and you'll see results. read more

First, I want to express our appreciation for all the effort Old Colony CrossFit shows to all their members. The community events, such as the park workouts, Brew Bus tour, and parties (Halloween, prom, & holiday parties), enhances the gym's sense of camaraderie. We also recognize and appreciate the excellent coaching we receive !!! read more

Old Colony CrossFit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Old colony is an amazing gym with amazing coaches and members. Coach Kelly is always inspired me by her always getting new prs.

The best CrossFit gym in Rhode Island. Knowledgable trainers, and a super welcoming community.

I've been a member at a couple of crossfit places and none of them come close to OCCF. They are the most reasonably priced crossfit box and offer a number of discount options. The coaches care about your form and giving it your all. They also cheer you on when you need it. I appreciate the care that goes into keeping the facility clean too, members wipe down things they use and the owner is meticulous when it comes to cleaning the floor. The workouts are a good mix of Olympic movements and things I don't like: rowing, running, burpees... the trend being I don't like cardio. I keep coming back because it's the only place that'll get me to do it. They do community based events or challenges and host a number of competitions too. Basically, if you are looking for a challenging workout with supportive people then check out OCCF! read more

So how do it put this I was judgmental about people that do cross fit I heard it was dangerous and a waste of money. But I am here to tell you these allegations are false! I came here because one of the owners also owns a consignment shop. I have my herbalife pin on so we start talking fitness of course so I said hey why not I'll give it a try. I registered online so I had to go no backing out.! I pull up to the box and it was extremely clean and welcoming with the doors wide open :) I went in and Jackie (owner/coach) was writing the work out of the day. She was very informative she taught me every exercise in its proper form then we went on to do the circuit. She was there beside me the whole time watching in making sure I was doing exercise right also she's very encouraging and kept me pushing through. I love this place and I will be back:) Price wise just use the money you use to eat out and you can afford this. And bring your spouse you get a discount ;) read more

Old Colony CrossFit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

The absolute best! It has taken me a long time to find something that I could stick with to help me reach my goals. And the reason I have come as far as I have is the coaches, members and programming at Old Colony Crossfit. The gym is always clean and being improved upon. Suggestions by members are always considered and changes are made accordingly to make it convenient for everyone. Not only have I learned proper form and done things I never thought I would be able to; I have made a group of friends within the community that I can count on for support and motivation both inside and outside the gym. There are so many good things to be said for Old Colony Crossfit but I suggest just trying it out for yourself! Come to a free into class and see what we are all about. read more

For the past 10 years I had been doing more traditional body building. I was in search for something different. Something that would challenge me and push me to the next level. I decided to give CrossFit a shot. I would be lying if I said I was not hesitant based on how it's "branded". My first class was with Danny. I was hooked. What really grabbed my attention (aside from the workout and how accommodating he was for it being my first time) was the comradery of everyone taking the class. Everyone was extremely welcoming and supportive. CrossFit IS NOT what a majority of people (like myself) think it is. It is easy to scale movements based on your individual fitness level. I had plans to try out other CrossFit gyms in the area but Old Colony gave me such a good feeling after my first visit I pulled the trigger. Also, don't think you'll be going into this blind! They have a "On Ramp" program where you will meet 4 times with a coach to make sure you know the terms and feel comfortable with the movement. They do a great job of promoting proper form and SAFETY. I met with Michael for my first session. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail. I also met with Michelle who's background is in Olympic Lifts. By the end of that session I was extremely confident in an area I never thought I would even try. I encourage anyone who may be hesitant or has been thinking about trying CrossFit to give it a go! You'll be pleasantly surprised at what you can do with proper coaching, a beautiful facility, and structured workouts. The "Brand" that I mentioned earlier is really not what CrossFit is about. It's so much more. You'll feel like your part of something which in turn will hold you accountable and skyrocket your fitness to the next level! See for yourself and make sure you give Old Colony CrossFit a try. read more

Updated review for 2018- are more stars available because OCCF deserves a few more! They moved to a new location this past fall-the space is HUGE- two lifting rigs, and open gym space, a lounge area and a patio that has yet to reach its full potential! Mike hired more coaches and added OLY classes on Wednesdays and Saturdays- and as always the community continues to be loving and supportive- and fun!!! if you left for whatever reason, come back and visit- if you're floundering in your fitness routines, drop in for a wod! You have nothing to regret and everything to gain! __________________________________________________________ I actually found Old Colony Crossfit while searching yelp for crossfit boxes! Obviously, it would be pretty funny if I found them searching for donut shops! I had no idea they were practically across the street! But convenience aside, this is a great supportive community that you should definitely check out, especially if you are looking for well-rounded wods, a regular "tailored to you" lifting program and fun times outside the regularly scheduled wods. You will reach your goals... you just need to show up! And the coaches get after you when you don't! Because they care. They also regularly host really fun crossfit competitions! Very well run and organized- Gerry and Juvies is going down in May! Check it out! read more

If you are looking for a place to start your crossfit journey or looking for a change from your existing box, Old Colony Crossfit is the place to be! They have a very informative and supportive staff of coaches who know how to work with not only different skill levels but different age groups. Hours of accessibility are designed to fit all schedules and to top it off they have a brand new facility with plenty of new equipment. With what I like to consider "The Breakfast Club" of athletes, you will definitely fit in. The community and setting is exactly what I need to work towards my individual fitness goals. read more

Mike knows his stuff and is a good motivaor. Would love to see two or even three classes on the weekend and an oly lifting class.

OCCF has an amazing community. I can't think of enough positive things to say. Everyone feels welcomed no matter what your fitness level is! Michael does an excellent job with the programming and is constantly thinking about ways to improve things around the box. I can't think of another place I'd rather be! read more

The community, coaches, cleanliness. It just doesn't get any better than Old Colony Crossfit!!
