CrossFit NYC UWS

I have been a member for over a year and I absolutely love it! Since joining I lost 50 pounds and I am the strongest I have ever been in my life. The staff is friendly and the coaches are fun and helpful! By far my favorite box in the city!

I have been a member here for over 2 years and I absolutely love it. From the booking process to the friendly and extremely knowledgeable instructors (Coach David is the man)...this place has it all. I travel a lot and frequently drop in at different boxes , and I think the programing here is second to none. The proof is in the results and I have seen a lot of those over these past 2 years. It has fundamentally changed my idea of working out - I look forward to it now - and made me much more fit in the process. I highly recommend checking it out, and for visitors, it is a must on the drop in list!

Staff was very nice and the box itself was very clean. My issue was with the programming and how slow it was. I signed up for the "Experienced WOD" hoping for more. They gave about 30min (7 sets of 3 rep squats and 10 second handstand hold with a 10 second rest in between sets) to complete a very easy workout that should have taken no more than 8 min to complete. When I finished my first WOD and asked if I can move on to the second one I was told I should wait because we should do the second one with a partner to help us count to 90. It was a simple series of WB and C2B pull-ups. There was no energy in the class and I was expecting some pacing to come from the coach but it never happened. I ended up getting frustrated and leaving before the partner workout. I am used to fast pace and energy from the coach and I was expecting a more intense class for the Experienced WOD. Again, the staff was great, location was good, but the programming was lacking.

Was a little intimidated to go to a box in NYC only being into crossfit for a couple months, but Blackbox was amazingly welcoming and all my intimidation quickly went away. From the first person I met walking into the box to the trainer to the members everyone was encouraging and helpful. Will be coming back to Blackbox next time in town maybe to their larger 28th street location.

Only gripe is $36 does not include a t-shirt or even a discount on a shirt! Where is the cross gym love!
