CrossFit Maelstrom

I have been a member of CFM for 6 months at the writing of this review. Simply stated, this place is awesome. In 6 months I've set and hit major goals: muscle up by year end, check, deadlift 300 pounds (315 actually), check, increase front and back squat by 20%, check. Don't know what any of that stuff is? Then no worries, because CFM has the most supportive, welcoming and knowledgeable staff (coaches) I have come across. They are motivating without yelling at you, instructive without talking down too you and ALWAYS keep your safety as the first priority. If you are afraid of injury or just intimidated by Crossfit but want to try it, this is the place to do it. From the experienced Crossfitter to the newbies, everyone is super friendly and genuinely having fun. Yes, it's fun. As a side note, I am a Chiropractor with a multi-discipline sports practice with physical therapy and rehabilitation therapists. We treat athletic injuries daily and I can really appreciate the attention to detail Dan and his coaches have for injury prevention.

CrossFit Maelstrom is not like other gyms. In around an hour you will get an unbelievable workout combing all the elements of CrossFit and strength training. The coaching staff is first rate and is super focused on safety and proper movements by their athletes. If you are looking to get into the best shape of your life and are in the Millburn/Short Hills/Livingston area, check out CrossFit Maelstrom.

Top-notch coaching. Since I have started doing CrossFit at CrossFit Maelstrom, I have continually hit new PR's in weight lifting (some by almost 100#), due to coaching on technique and a dedicated strength program. Further, I have added gymnastics skills that I didn't know I had in me (butterfly pull ups, handstand walks, muscle ups).
