Crossfit Newtown

Very good feedback correcting form and modifying workout for potential shoulder issues

This was my first class back postpartum and Janice checked in on my recovery and return. She offered modifications to help with some injuries I’m working through and made sure I was moving weights safely.

Tatum’s instructions were clear and precise and the class organized very efficiently - with individual input, guidance and encouragement as warranted.

Shaina is so very patient, encouraging, and tough in a kind way. At 55 and new to CrossFit, I was nervous about starting something so different, but Shaina’s calm guidance made all the difference. She carefully watches each movement, gently correcting my form when needed, and always encourages me to keep going. The way she balances pushing me hard without ever making me feel overwhelmed creates a workout that’s challenging yet completely doable. I am really glad I joined Crossfit Newtown.

How did today's class challenge you?

Janice is super knowledgeable and does a great job explaining even the most technical moves in a very relatable way. She breaks down complex movements into simple steps that make them feel doable, no matter your skill level. I love her classes at Crossfit Newtown because she’s always watching closely and offering tips on form. This gym has a great community and vibe. I can’t imagine not working out here!

Carrie is an outstanding coach who truly goes above and beyond. She is incredibly helpful and always shares valuable tips to improve our workouts. Carrie has a great eye for detail, ensuring everyone in class maintains proper form, and she does it in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Her ability to motivate us and make us feel good about ourselves creates such a positive environment. Outside of class, Carrie is just as amazing—she’s very responsive to my texts, always answering questions promptly and helping me resolve any issues with the app, like signing up for classes. Her dedication and care make a huge difference, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Carrie is the fucking best. She’s a great teacher and motivator. Love to see her coaching when I attend class.

First session in the books, great atmosphere and even if you think you’re in good shape the level of intensity you choose for each set will challenge all levels of fitness!

Tatum is clear about the class, speaks clearly and goes through everything like a machine.

Good class. Coach explained all things in detail.

Very inviting and fun group of people all around. Janice was great and would definitely recommend

First class was great. The class and coach were all very welcoming and the coaching was encouraging and attentive. Can’t wait to be back!

Carrie was great, picking up that I was favoring my right leg and I wasn’t squatting evenly. Also gave me things to do to help improve flexibility in my shoulders to help with the overhead squat.

Shaina is great coach. she helped me to rekindle my "love of crossfit " after retiring from it for some years. she is on the mark with form, technique and pace. she kept me focused and built my confidence

Janice was incredibly knowledgeable and explained each workout clearly. She was kind and welcoming, making a drop-in member feel at home. Her encouragement and expertise created a positive, motivating environment.

Shaina was great! She knew it was my first class and provided tons of tips and feedback throughout. She did a great job getting me more comfortable with my clean

Somedays, the stars align, and everything just clicks, today was one of those days. Thanks to the instruction from Coach Tatum, I had a challenging yet fulfilling class, one for the books... or at least worthy of recording my scores into push press. From our gymnastics skill work to our WOD, Coach Tatum gave all the right cues, helpful hints, and pacing instructions to have a meaningful, move-the-needle workout.

Good energy. Clear cues. May want to consider providing my explanation on ‘why’s

Janice is amazing! I took six sessions with her and she made me feel so comfortable. She had so many great suggestions and patience with me. She is super personable and just an overall great coach and role model. I am super excited about my CrossFit journey! I went to my first class today and I already feel as if it kicked my butt exactly the way I need. I feel as if class worked every party of my body. Looking forward to the next class!

This rating is for Molly H. Please note she is not on the list of coaches to provide feedback’s. It was a great class and Molly provided great support.

Molly was great!

Tatum is a lot of fun in class and keeps the energy going throughout.

Always the best when I get to see Michelle! Her coaching style is very concise yet playful and she always pushed us to be our best!

Good! Explained the workout, introduced himself.

Great coaching today as always. Very good tips and brought positive energy once again!

Janice Perry is a wonderful coach. She knows exactly what she is doing, very experienced and helpful. Definitely recommend her for anyone who wants a good coach, specifically for exercising.

Great class. Good mix of cardio & strength. I’d like to see some bicep & tricep specific exercises from time to time. Thanks!

Shaina was very welcoming and super helpful. She made me feel very welcomed. She assisted me with modifications when needed, and provided guidance if my form was off. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and her style.

She's very thorough with instructions and very helpful. Very good coach.

Janice is always amazing. Ready with any modifications. Knows how to turn a boring or hard workout into a great time. Leaving refreshed renewed revitalized glad I came always

I really enjoy coach Sara’s classes!

Saketh had a wonderful experience and enjoyed his session and he was very happy with Mrs Kochler

I did a drop in class today and it was wonderful. Great coaches and members, and most importantly, a great workout. I will definitely be back.

Coach Carrie always inspires us with her positive attitude! She works hard to see that we are all staying in proper form and it makes a difference as we get tired. We appreciate her sharing her skills!

Awesome warm up, demo’s on movements and work out.

Christian always does a great job leading the class and providing a fun and light atmosphere. He was helpful to me today giving me options for scaling the workout to my needs and skill level. It’s always great to have that flexibility and know that you’re still getting a great workout!! Thanks Christian for your great coaching and creating a fun atmosphere!!

Shaina is a wonderful and fun coach! She builds camaraderie among the class and brings smiles even if it is a grind of a workout. Today she reminded me to engage my core while doing push ups which really helped!

Thank you for being so welcoming. Janice had great energy and knowledge.

Janice always give clear direction and checks in with everyone throughout the workout to ensure everyone’s safety or to see how we’re feeling that day

I liked the fact that if there’s something I can’t do she modifies around it.

Janice brought a lot of clarity to nutrition without making it complicated.

I've only been doing CrossFit for a year but travel a ton so am always dropping in somewhere and your gym is top tier! The coach came right up to me, introduced himself and gave me a lay of the land, also corrected me during my snatch (which is excellent marker for coaching because I've been to places that couldn't care less about drop ins) and everyone was super friendly! Also, super clean, another key metric for me.

Carrie and the entire coaching staff is top notch. I have been to many CrossFit Gyms. I put them at the top.

Shaina is an excellent coach. She is always pushing me to strive more and correcting my posture. I will get there with her coaching style

Great class as always 😃

My son had a great time and was motivated. He usually is lazy when it comes to exercise but he loved this class and is motivated to continue with it.

Janice is an excellent and knowledgeable coach that is great at keeping the class engaged. She provides useful feedback for technique improvement that is helpful even for someone that has been cross fitting for many years.

Always helpful. The most knowledgeable trainers I’ve ever met.

Another great WO. Jump rope is going to be the death of me… 😄

Janice is amazing. I am working through a labral tear that began hurting again after I pushed myself a bit too hard and was forced to pause workouts for 1.5 weeks while it healed. I was worried about heading back to the gym and possibly setting things back again. Janice worked with me to find alternatives to the exercises that kept me in the game and helped me avoid further exacerbation of my hip pain. She's wonderful, and so knowledgeable and supportive.

Janice (and Carrie) were exceptional, as always. I’m injured, but they still found time and ways to help me. They are the best!

My husband and I dropped in on Shaina’s class, we are visiting friends for the long weekend and coming from NYC. I appreciate Shaina giving me feedback about my form, very helpful. She is very welcoming and creates great positive energy in the class. Great place.

Excellent class. Great and knowledgeable coach.

I always love Shaina’s class! She’s got a great coaching style that always makes everyone comfortable and motivated, and she’s just a great person to be around. Am looking forward to my next class with her!

Shaina is a great coach. Her attention to detail improves our performance immensely. Shaina’s classes are fun and our safety is paramount.

Michelle always pushes me to do my best despite my limitations! She's great at making you not embarrassed to put in real effort and facilitates a great workout environment

Janice is awesome! She makes a workout fun and pushes me to do my best without feeling pressured. Super encouraging, great at explaining movements, and always positive. I’ve gotten stronger and more confident since training with coach Janice.

Class was a lot of fun! Janice did a great job explaining the movement an and then giving me specific cues to improve my movements.

Great coaching , lovely class.

Shaina is always great about checking in and offering clear guidance when needed.

Earns a five star, compared to 30+ other Crossfits. Janice is a PRO, makes it look easy to be pleasant and personal, helping each with adaptions; while keeping still the whole group moving.

Carrie always does a great job keeping everyone motivated and explaining the workout and movements needed

Michele worked hard to keep the class focused and moving. Her positive energy helps us move through the workout. I really enjoyed the class today!

Janice is a great coach! While paying attention to detail she always keeps the class fun!! Her energy is high and helps when mine low she brings out the best of everyone!!!

Very informative and welcoming, Janice has the personality that was meant to coach.

Great class and great coaching as always!

I appreciate Carrie’s positive attitude and respectful manner.

I love the individual feedback and you are willingness to always help me to improve and work on my form.

I love working out with Shaina. I like her energy and engagement through out the entire class. She always check in with the athletes before, during and after class to see how we are doing and always has an array of modifications if we need some adjustments to the workout. She comes prepared and there is no down time in her class, however I newer feel rushed as long as I stay focused 😁

Great class, great coaches, great community!! Drop in if you are in the area!!

Shaina does awesome coaching class! She’s always attentive to form, encouraging and has a good sense of humor.

Janice is a top-tier coach :)

She was awesome helping me with my 1st class!

Wonderful

Coach Carrie was super supportive this morning when I was struggling with burpees. She quickly showed me an alternative that still kept the intensity up and worked the same muscles. I really appreciated her encouraging attitude and how she made sure I still got a great workout! Thank you Carrie!!!

Coach was great

Class was great as usual. Janice is very knowledgeable and pays attention to each person in the class offering suggestions as needed. I really enjoy her classes.

Very attentive to minute details, super organized, enthusiastic and makes everyone feel important.

Christian is amazing. Explains everything give you some tips and making sure your good with technique during the work out.

Carrie is always prepared to lead a great class. Clear with instruction and demonstration. She connects with each attendee to get to know how their body is feeling and makes suggestions for modifications accordingly. I’m returning from an injury so I particularly appreciate the modifications suggested to keep me safe!

This CrossFit gym is awesome. The programming is really effective and great. The coaches are also all amazing and so helpful! I usually take classes when Shaina is coaching and she is so great! She answers questions thoroughly and explains things really well. Thank you! Not to be cheesy, but CrossFit has changed many aspects of my life in a positive way and that I am grateful for.

Amazing class! I loved the work out and movements. Wasn’t to much or to little work. And the timing and breaks were perfect.

Shaina was very helpful, especially since this was my first class. She kept me in line with my weights and form, which was much appreciated!

She’s the best of the best 🎉

Janice is an amazing coach. She cares about her students and makes sure they're staying safe and working hard. I've seen tremendous improvement by following her advice for mobility training at home.

today was my first cross fit class - Shaina was the instructor and my 6 session on boarding coach. I felt very well prepared for the session and the instructions were clear. Shaina gave great guidance through out the session and helped 1) correct form 2) provide modifications. I also appreciated that she introduced me at the start of class. The workout was tough but doable and I was happy with how the first session went.

Janice takes the time to work with each participant and give feedback and tips on ways to improve form or just to provide encouragement. She meets people where they are and is super helpful in providing alternative movements and stretches for those with injuries or limitations, like myself . She cares and makes everyone feel welcome. It’s a good day when I can make it to one of her classes☺️

Janice is a great motivator and she always has a helpful tip on form!

Always positive, scales appropriately and always make sure I’m challenged.

Curtis was super supportive and encouraging today! It was my first class and he checked in just the right amount and went through modifications of everything we were doing in case any of is needed to scale things. It was a fantastic experience.

Coach Christian is very attentive and has great feed back to help with efficiency and strategy during the workouts. Love having Christian as a Coach!

Great class. Janice is motivating and positive. She makes me work harder than I ever would if I were by myself! She creates a fun & non-judgmental atmosphere.

Shaina was very thorough when going over the warm up and workout. She's always making sure everyone knows what they should be doing. Many options are always given for those of us that can't rx a specific movement.

Today was great. Great class.

Rich Dupell was great! He took time to explain everything to me and checked in throughout the class! I appreciate you Rich! It was my first class back after a three month recovery from a broken toe and you made it very enjoyable and worthwhile!

she is great

Shaina is passionate trainer. She focuses and customizes workoit as per individual when ever necessary

Janice is A-MA-ZING! The amount of knowledge she has is phenomenal. She has endless modifications for any and every affliction one can have.

Janice and the team always do an awesome job!!

First day back at CF in years & first time at CF Newtown. Class was great! Carrie was a great instructor. Definitely recommend 💪🏽

More than expected very happy and satisfied

Great class

First class was a lot of fun!

Class was challenging. I am very thankful for Janice’s energy. I have no had a workout like that in a long time. She not only reminded me of the necessary cues to proficiently perform each movement but checked in on me multiple times to make sure I was comfortable. She also introduced me to the class. Everyone made me feel very comfortable. I can not wait to come back :) next time I look forward to making time to stretc after the workout. Her warm up really helped warm up the necessary muscles as well!!

Rich was awesome. He only called me old once.

I really enjoyed class today. Shaina explained things clearly and gave me alternate exercises for the things I was not capable of doing yet.

Awesome first class. I really felt comfortable and welcome. Michelle was motivating and made sure I was doing things that matched my ability level.

This morning was a great class coached by Michelle. We started right on time, directions were clear and concise, demonstrations were helpful, and multiple modifications/scaling options were offered. We had time to foam roll after the workout which was helpful.

Crushed it

I know I can always count on Carrie to spot and correct imperfections in my form. This is what will have me improve faster.

Class was fun and Christian did a great job coaching how to execute the movements with proper form.

Michelle is absolutely amazing. She keeps the class exciting and pushes us to give our 100%. Love her energy !! Keep up with your great work. You get 10/10 for kicking A**

Chris loves coming to CrossFit! Thanks for making class fun and challenging!

1st class back after month and a half to rehab a back injury. As always Janice was accommodating and knowledgeable! 10/10 recommend.

Curtis was quick to welcome me as I walked in and helped get me set up with a partner. He was very friendly and kept the class moving and on schedule. Thanks for everything.

For me it was really good. It was great balance of strength and conditioning. I liked that Janice gave me an option to push myself ( added weight ) if I felt I could do more or stay with current if my body wasn’t ready for it all . The conditioning was really good. I was really got my heart rate up in a strong and healthy way. I don’t think I would push myself as hard on my own .

Kayla was great as always. The pace for the class was consistent and she did a good job making sure everyone was working hard in a safe manner.

Fantastic class. Janice is very helpful and encouraging!!

Great way to start back. Very encouraging.

Michelle is encouraging, uplifting, and matches the energy she expects from you. I always leave class invigorated.

Great instructor and class! Enjoyed very much

Fun, hard workout and he explained everything well!

Kayla is an amazing coach. She takes time to welcome everyone and make them feel at home. She does a great job outlining the movements and providing scale. I always enjoy my classes with Kayla

Kayla is awesome. She’s very patient and very encouraging.

Janice did a great job making everyone feel seen. The warm up was very thorough and technique driven. I felt ready to go by the time the wod started. Overall, great class!

Great class!! The class was kept on pace and coached well from start to finish.

Great class. Well run. I was greeted the moment I walked in and made to feel welcome. Members introduced themselves, showed me around, ñ helped me get set up, and invited me to join them for the strength training. Kayla did a great job explaining and demonstrating everything from the warmup to strength to the workout and cool down. She remained engaged with the class for every step. A plus. You have a great community. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to visit. There’s plenty of room and plenty of equipment.

Shaina at CrossFit Newtown is an exceptional coach who truly sets herself apart with her focus on form and technique. Her attention to detail ensures that every movement is performed safely and effectively, which has been invaluable in helping me progress while avoiding injury. Beyond her technical expertise, Shaina brings incredible energy and encouragement to every session, fostering an environment where you feel supported and challenged to push your limits. She genuinely cares about her athletes’ growth and success, making every workout a rewarding experience.

Janice was super attentive and helpful providing coaching to improve my form during the class. I will be able to take these learnings with me for the future. Thank you, Janice!

Carrie was fantastic through out the workout. She was not only encouraging but also corrected my form wherever needed. Felt confident doing those deadlifts especially when coming back to the gym after a few weeks…thanks Carrie!!

Shaina, I really enjoyed your class today. The intense workout was just what I needed to get these old bones moving again. I appreciate that you check in from time to time to see how I'm doing and to offer encouragement. Finally, I really like the stretch at the end of class. God bless. Mary Jane Larson

Shaina is awesome - she brings a good balance of knowledge, energy, and humor to class and keeps the class flowing efficiently. She gave me a cue to help improve my bar muscle-ups… I’ve never felt the “effortlessness” that I often admire about others’ bar muscle ups until I took the cue from Shaina to straighten my legs. We are lucky to have her at CFN!

I was very nervous for my first class! Michelle made me feel completely at ease and was such an awesome source of encouragement! She pushed me just the right amount and was an awesome cheer cheerleader! Feeling very grateful and ready to attack my next class!

Was a great class. Options for my shoulder issue and got a great workout. Challenging yet easy to follow. Carrie was super encouraging.

Great workout! Challenging and varied enough to be interesting...just what I'm looking for

Michelle was welcoming right from the start introducing herself, recognizing I was a drop in. Took time to ask where I was coming from amidst a packed class. She also spent time walking the room with coaching tips for all, spending time where needed and engaging members. The instruction provided was thorough and easy to follow. Appreciate you having me!

Janice is an amazing trainer. Focused on making sure your form is right and encouraging you the entire workout. Looking forward to the next class!

Great! Everything was clear and modifications were shared. Thank you!

Curtis is always great to have as a coach. He does a great job of explaining the various scaling options and helping everyone find the right movement choice.

Great class, high energy for an early morning class!

Christian was informative and active during the entire class.

Coach Michelle is friendly and professional, I always feel at home in the gym and learn something from her each time.

Kayla was a great leader & when needed she helped me make adjustments! With it being my first class she was super welcoming & checked in on me throughout the class!

Awesome workout last night! Kayla is very through in her explanation of each movement on the board and she is always quick to correct your format if you are doing the movement wrong.

Excellent coach. Challenges class in a realistic way. Very personable. Love class!

I like the EMOMs (letters?), it makes it feel like the session goes faster, lol. Kayla always provides modifications to meet everyone's individual needs. There's nothing better than hearing the 3 second countdown. Each session is challenging and Kayla is always supportive and encouraging everyone to do their best.

Amazing Place to workout. Carrie is an excellent coach, very friendly and truly cares about technique. Always motivating me to keep going!

Best ever

She is a terrific coach who kept everyone going but wasn't in your face.

Carrie is awesome! Coached me to push my knees out in my deadlift, which made a big difference. Explains every movement with just enough detail and demonstration.

Coaching was great. Corrected me on pulling early for hang. Is a bad habit I need to break, so being instructed to do two high pulls in our strength helped. Also liked that we were corrected during class. Still something to work on but appreciate the attention and help.

Class was challenging. Kayla demonstrated all the moves and made sure we were performing them correctly. She was motivating and provided encouragement to keep going.

I love CrossFit but always feel a little nervous when I drop in someone other than my home gym. Michelle immediately introduced herself when I walked in and explained what we were doing. She helped on my form in both snatches and pull ups. She pointed out the bathroom and the water fountain immediately which maybe is a small thing but both things I usually always have to hunt out when I drop in at other gyms. I don’t love snatches and I managed to rip my hand two sets from the end of the workout but my experience was a ten out of ten and I can’t wait to drop in when I’m back in town!

Carrie does a great job motivating everyone in a positive way plus provides clear instructions on each movement

Janice is always awesome

As L1 coach I learn so much every time I drop in and genuinely love the coaches! Members are alway friendly as well!! Top notch gym!!

Janice's class was awesome today! She's a great coach and teacher.

Christian is super thorough in explaining proper form and incredibly supportive of all the athletes throughout the workout. I felt very safe and welcome

Kayla was a really good coach. Explained the warmup and workout as well as had the movements demonstrated by herself or a class member. She kept the class moving through the different phases to start and end on time. During the warmup she worked through the class to give tips to different people. This is my second time dropping in and both times were great, if we lived in the area this would be our gym.

Kayla was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for the workout.

Great coach! Very energetic and informative 😊

This was an excellent first CrossFit experience! Carrie was extremely helpful and patient while teaching me the movements. I would definitely recommend her and CrossFit Newtown to anyone looking to get started with these kinds of workouts.

Janice is a fantastic coach . She motivates and supports you with realistic goals. I like that she encourages me to set stretch goals and provides guidance to achieve those goals. Most importantly Janice has a very friendly and approachable personality you can ask her anything and she either has the answers or researches and finds it for you. Couldn’t ask first a better coach. Thanks Janice !!!

Awesome workout. Coach pushes you to be your best and makes sure movements are done correctly so no injuries….so sore the next day!! No pain mo gain!

Great class! Kayla broke down all of the moves in an easy way!

Fun class today!!

Janice and all of the coaches at Newtown Crossfit are always supportive and encouraging, truly recommended for a great injury-free workout

Carrie 10/10. Very nice!

Great! Gave me some alternate exercises to do that helps with my pregnancy!

Janice was personable, friendly and led an effective class! I’ll be back!

Amazing!

Terrific coach!

Loved getting chiseled with Curt

Great coach, very motivating, makes accommodations for a personal touch

As always, a well rounded full body workout with encouragement to push yourself 😊

Pushed me to get more burpees and I did!

Kayla did great! 😊 Explained and demonstrated each movement. And corrected when needed

Michelle brings the best expertise and encouragement!

Kayla was great. She always brings her A game

Dropped in for a couple classes while visiting family. Gym was clean and everyone was very welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Janice was high energy as usual. She kept us all motivated to maintain our goals.

Love a Janice class! Janice gives options for everyone to be successful and the perfect amount of push to challenge ourselves! Always smiling and encouraging making class enjoyable. 😊

Co

Love the workout! It is perfect! Having a lot of fun!

Christian is a rockstar!
