CrossFit 845 - Poughkeepsie

Coach Art goes above and beyond to make sure everyone can participate safely. He always offers thoughtful modifications and never makes you feel behind. His coaching has helped me stay consistent and confident in class. Thank you for accommodating my injury and providing safe, effective alternatives. Your guidance has helped me stay consistent while recovering.

After not taking a CrossFit class in years, today was a fun, and spicy, one to come back to. Thank you, Gabby, for helping me with my double unders.

Jon is an inspiration to all a great motivator

What’s one change you’ve noticed since joining CrossFit 845 - Poughkeepsie? I really noticed that my whole body is getting stronger. I really appreciate the diversity of exercises and the coaching has been excellent from Maggie to Vicky to Ashley and Gabby. Everyone has been great.

Maggie is great! She knows so much about every movement and always takes the time to explain proper form and technique, which helps prevent injury and makes the workouts more effective. During my sessions at CrossFit 845 - Poughkeepsie, she pays close attention to how I’m doing and offers encouragement or modifies exercises when needed, so I never feel overwhelmed. Her support makes a big difference, especially on days when I’m feeling tired or unmotivated. It’s clear she cares about each person’s progress and creates a positive, motivating atmosphere. That kind of coaching makes coming to CrossFit 845 - Poughkeepsie something I look forward to every time.

Hum for Chip.

Second class back after years of not working out. Chaz was very good about not pushing me too hard but giving pointers to keep me safe coming back. He carefully watched my form during each movement, gently correcting my posture and suggesting modifications when needed to prevent any strain. There was lots of energy in the room at CrossFit 845 - Poughkeepsie - people encouraging each other, upbeat music, and a lively pace that kept me motivated without feeling overwhelmed. Chaz made me feel very welcome from the moment I walked in, checking in on how I was doing throughout the class and making sure I stayed comfortable while still getting a solid workout. It was the perfect balance of support and challenge for someone easing back into fitness.

I like here very much

Art was very helpful and took time to explain the exercises. I definitely feel stronger overall since joining CrossFit 845. Thanks!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 A wonderfully kind and supportive CrossFit coach. encouraging, clear with instruction, and great at creating a positive, comfortable training environment. Truly a great coach to work with

I had a class with Dave this morning at CrossFit 845 PK and I’m so glad I went! I injured myself last week and was nervous about coming back, but Dave was incredible — he adapted the workout so I could move safely and still get a great sweat in. I had no pain and, even better, I overcame my fear of getting back to it after an injury. Feeling grateful for the support and encouragement!

Get Moving Class in Poughkeepsie, Jon McKenna, coach: Awesome session! Moving right along with weight training, isometrics, balance cardio and endurance exercises. Very knowledgable, encouraging, attention to detail, in form, technique, and monitoring ability, always suggesting alternatives when necessary. Keep it going, Jon, Crossfit 845!

Today’s class was tough, but Art kept encouraging and motivating me the whole time. Thanks to his support, I pushed through and finished strong. Taking these classes has really boosted my confidence and strength 😊

He is very kind and patient. He always look for all of to be safe as we work out.

Chaz was very friendly and knows his craft. He was super helpful in giving me feedback on my techniques. He was encouraging and at the same time giving me space. Thank you!

Loved starting with a good strength training routine. The workout was set up great. Finishing off with a back and arm pump workout was awesome. Genuinely happy with my first CrossFit workout!

Maggie is a great coach. Always in a good mood and encouraging. Feel like she gives a gentle push to challenge the class. Love Monday evenings!

Art is great!!

Coach did great!

Ashley was terrific— I needed some serious modifications for rope climbing, and she came through for me. I love working with her.

Always a good time! 🤙

Chaz is very patient and provides excellent explanation of activities/exercises and how they will benefit you!

Chaz lead a great class this morning! He gave lots of feedback and adjustments when necessary. The gym was super clean, organized and easy to get to. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Awesome way to start the day! James brings a great energy to the 5am class. Does an excellent job explaining and aiding positioning!

Super fun WOD. Coach was welcoming and gym was well equipped. Thanks!!

I absolutely love CrossFit845! The energy, community, and support here are unmatched. Every coach brings something special to the workouts, and they all truly care about helping you reach your goals. A huge shoutout to James who I personally have the privilege of coaching me every week. He is an incredible trainer who pushes you to do your best while keeping things fun and motivating. He’s always paying attention to form and technique, making sure you’re training safely and effectively. My favorite part of seeing James weekly are the motivational fist pumps! 👊🏽 The entire team at CrossFit845 makes the gym feel like family. No matter your fitness level, they meet you where you are and help you become stronger every day. I can’t recommend this place enough! 💪🔥

Art was awesome! Encouraged me and kept me motivated till the end. Thanks Art. Can’t wait till next time!

It was my first CrossFit class. Maggie was supportive and really helped me by going over the workout and breaking down the exercises. It helped me to work on my form and encouraged me to keep going!

Great ATG class. Very interesting and helpful to someone who has knee issues/pain. Thanks for the extra lifting pointers on the cleans.

James is always on point and brings a positive energy to every class! He loves what he does and it shows!

Arts a great coach. It’s always good to see him there! Watching him grow as a coach is awesome as well! Keep up the great work!

Chaz is a fun and enthusiastic coach, who is attentive to each members needs while focusing on safety and technique. I am personally new to the CF world and really enjoying his classes!

Dave is a fantastic coach and gives really great form correction and constructive feedback. He is positive, upbeat, and incredibly encouraging. Thanks Dave for taking the extra time to check in and make sure I was doing well. I really appreciate it.

James was great! He had Artie demo all the movements and then kept the class pumped and going for the AMRAP. My favorite thing was his music selection of Rock/Metal. Definitely kept me motivated as well as my team of 3! Loved working out with Artie and Jenna! They kicked ass.

Gabby was very thorough explaining and demonstrating the workout! She gave off positive energy and made sure we were all completing the moves correctly:)

Excellent! A solid workout in less than an hour! Cant get that at Planet Fitness!

She was very attentive, informative, and kind throughout the whole thing ! I loved working with her !

Felt nervous at first, but the coach’s discipline, encouragement, and energy put me at ease right away.

This was my first time working with Chaz and this type of class. and let me say it will deff not be my last. Not only did all the stretching we did feel amazing but after we did some olympic weightlifting and I was able to lift weight easily that I used to struggle getting up. This guys knows his stuff but also keeps it fun . Highly recommend checking him out !!

Fantastic coaching. Super encouraging and relates to all different levels of abilities. Our class which is geared towards more “mature” age group doesn’t hold back on challenges. Today we did rope climbs! Not everyone was able to do them but modifications were available for all levels. We were all challenged to give it a go and give it all we got. And doing it with the carefull and competent guidance of Jon. Everybody finished with sweat on their foreheads and a great workout in the books.

Excellent! Explains everything well. Encouraging and supportive.

Art brings a calm confidence to every class. Encouraging everyone to grow but not to overdo it.

Chaz’s classes are one of the best we attend. He always ensures your lifting properly and explains the technique and adjustments needed to ensure your form is on point. It’s a great atmosphere for anyone to feel comfortable to be a member!

James is such a great, motivating, positive coach! He listens, helps me understand all the workouts and always has a smile on his face! Thanks James!!

Very good and professional

Outstanding Coaching and Class! Very welcoming and great energy!

Chaz made me feel stronger and help me keep being a better athlete

Vicki is so inspiring

He has the programming and coaching down very precisely. Super appreciative of the detail to form and technicality of lifts. The time spent on form alone allowed for significant increase in strength in the areas focused.

Gabby is great. She explains the movements very well and breaks everything down to make it easy to follow. She also offers great support during the workout. Hearing her enthusiastic support and encouragement helped me finished today’s workout just in time.

I am so thankful for Jon’s unlimited patience and guidance as I continue to learn and understand the various movements. His instruction regarding bench presses was brought to my level to both position and form.

Art always gives great feedback on form

Gabby was great! Clearly explained the workout. She kept us motivated and gave suggestions as needed.

Positive coaching and I felt great after class!

Jon is always very patient and educating, I feel like I always learn something, or a lot, whenever he coaches. He really puts an effort in giving you the best tips and techniques for you to succeed. He cares about form more than weight or repetition and I think that is very important. He’s very humble and he keeps things simple for you to understand. Also, I don’t feel embarrassed to ask anything or if I don’t remember something that he already had explained, he never makes you feel like you bother him. Honestly, I’m thankful he’s one of the coaches and I truly appreciate his help, input and professionalism.

Art did great! He's always helping me and making sure I am doing the workouts correctly. I greatly appreciate it him! Thanks ART!!

Art was great making sure my form was correct and encouraging me throughout the workout.

Art was very encouraging as usual. He showed us the proper form. He’s easy on the eyes too.

James is an excellent coach. Really knows his stuff. I always look forward to taking James class and I learn something new each time. He’s also super funny. Thanks James!! Today was my first drop in to pk and wow the members and vibe there is great! Definitely an extension of the amazing community in wapp.

very thorough and knowledgeable! very fun!

Jon was able to help me have a safe workout today!

Amazing!

Dave was very knowledgeable, professional and answered all my questions.I felt really comfortable and had an overall positive first impression of the gym routine and work out. Thank you !

Great class. Such a good vibe! =) thank you!

Vicki was amazing! Did a wonderful job explaining all the movements and great job motivating us.

Jon is very patient with teaching you the techniques of each exercise so that you will not cause your body any harm.

He is the man

Vicki was so great! She was mindful of what I needed individually and made great suggestions for me! I would highly recommend her class 😀

Came in for bring a friend week. Dave and the members were very welcoming and supportive . Great energy and environment!

Today was my first class at CrossFit 845 & it was great! I look forward to attending another. The coach Dave is very attentive to helping make sure your form is good & that you’re doing the workouts correctly. I noticed that he took the time out to circle around to check on & coach members individually where it was needed.. I really appreciate that in a coach, so thank you Dave!! Also the gym is very nice, the other members were very supportive & kind. I definitely felt like I’ve belonged to the gym for some time that’s how welcoming everyone was 😊

James was welcoming and encouraging.

he was great! I really appreciated his input on my back squat.

Art is a kind, supportive and knowledgeable coach. He makes certain everyone understands the movements and proper technique to avoid injuries and sets you up for success. He happily scales the WOD to meet each persons needs. I highly recommend him!!

Vicki’s classes are fantastic. She frequently provides feedback during the WOD. I appreciate that very much.

Gabby is amazing. Great coaching, enthusiasm and passion in teaching techniques

Extremely helpful and encouraging!

Was so awesome and patient with me today! Very motivation coach!

Vicki is one of my favorite coaches at CrossFit845-PK. Her classes are well organized and I appreciate that she demonstrates the movements, and actively walks around the gym to correct, encourage, and assist others. She is approachable, fun, and knowledgeable. Looking forward to many more classes with Vicki!

Great coach, great energy. Best way to start of the beginning of the week

Tough workout but a great coach and great community feeling!

Vicki is positive, motivating, and focused on the specific things each member needs. Her attention to details as a coach means solid and immediate feedback. Always happy when she’s coaching!

The class was great. Gabby encouraged us as she always does and corrected us as needed.

Maggie was awesome today 👍👍! She encouraged us all to help select moves for the team workout. She then demonstrated the scaled options. I needed a bit of guidance to be more efficient in my rowing which Maggie provided. She checked back to see if I was able to adjust my rowing. Always upbeat and kind- I enjoyed the class.

I really believe in this class. The workout was tough and challenging, between the 100% back squats and those wall balls, but with enough variation to keep it from getting boring.

Jon always has excellent instructions for both RX and scale workouts. John is consistently making sure my form is correct.

Great coaching !!!

LOVED IT!

Art coaches a fantastic class! Spent time helping everyone and was really encouraging!

I enjoyed today very much. The smaller classes are great which, lends to more feedback on form which, is really helpful and appreciated. Art definitely roams the classes watching and correcting members individually where and as needed; again, something I very much appreciate. CF845 PK still very much has “new car” smell. Thank you for having me!

Maggie is awesome. Really good at explaining the movements & super encouraging!

Maggie is great. Explains the workout thoroughly, shows you how to do it right, understanding when I have to modify, but also wants me to push myself. And cheers me on. (Everyone).
