Swarm Fitness & Nutrition is pretty great, super flexible with changing plans and very clear safety measures. Plus, it's affordable! Coach Mary is awesome too.
Ally’s coaching is the best. Top tier in every way. Love the way she brings us through the workout and helps us stay motivated.
Difficult day, number 6 in a row which I do not usually do and hot, so hot. Mary is great with accommodations so you can finish the workout and feel great!
First time coming to Swarm and it was awesome. I felt really supported and also got a good workout. Really nice space.
Always clean and the coaches make sure our workout is safe! You get what you pay for and at Swarm it’s always worth the cost. Very safe, affordable, and very community-focused.
I'm new to the gym but felt completely comfortable and welcomed. Mary was right there with me for my first workout, and everyone is genuinely kind and motivating. The atmosphere at Swarm Fitness & Nutrition is awesome.
Absolutely! I get one-on-one attention from Brian at Swarm Fitness & Nutrition. He always makes sure I don’t do it incorrectly and hurt myself! It’s a wonderful family, and I think it’s great value. The gym is very community-focused and often participates in local events.
I love the early hours especially 6:15am 😁 very inclusive and welcoming community to all
This gym is perfect for everyone! Love the yoga too! Swarm Fitness & Nutrition is great for working professionals, especially with the monthly membership plan, and Coach Brian really knows his strength training classes.
Such a welcoming environment from day one. As someone new to CrossFit, they completely understood how awkward and intimidating some of the movements can feel and always made me feel comfortable learning. The atmosphere is supportive, motivating, and genuinely fun!!! I already feel so much stronger, healthier, and more confident since starting here. So thankful I took the leap!
Seth is great - calm, relaxed, witty coaching style. Can always get ya to smile :-)
Swarm Fitness & Nutrition has personal training available and is suitable for all levels. It’s a moderate price, which I think is pretty fair.
Swarm Fitness & Nutrition in Westfield is a great spot with good hours and lots of group classes, so there's always something to join. Coach IIdar is great—clear coaching, good energy, and always supportive, which really makes a difference. I've connected with people here and totally recommend it!
Open gym—it’s slightly above average but def. worth it. It’s quiet during peak hours, and I’ve made some friends here, which makes it even better. The moderate price point is just right for what you get.
Swarm Fitness & Nutrition is great! We do some running outside when it’s nice, and the outdoor workouts are part of seasonal programs. The coaches, , want you to meet your maximum potential and keep you motivated with tons of encouragement. Mornings are the busiest, but it’s always a good vibe. Personal training is available if you want that extra push.
Seth made a point to explain safety while benching today. He’s always available to help scale or provide safe strategy for WOD’s. I feel safe and supported during workouts, and I love that I can change plans as needed. Parking is good at Swarm Fitness & Nutrition in Westfield.
Swarm’s supportive community is unmatched!
Swarm Fitness & Nutrition is very safe, and I love that I can bring kids along with childcare. Plus, it’s affordable, which is a big plus. Coach Ally is great too!
Swarm Fitness & Nutrition feels very safe and is very community-focused, which I really like. Coach Ildar is great and makes it a welcoming place. It’s somewhat budget-friendly too.
Evening workouts are great. The business varies but there’s always room. Ildar does a great job motivating me to push myself.
She’s a very organized coach who gets straight to the point and makes every session effective. She has a great understanding of what each person needs and pays close attention to everyone’s form and progress. You can tell she truly cares about helping people improve. A really good coach who keeps you motivated and focused.
Michelle is an amazing coach. She’s helped me really see my progress over the past few months, especially with my weights. I remember when she would come over and point out how much I was improving and let me know it was time to go heavier. That meant a lot and gave me more confidence. She has such a great, humble personality and brings positive energy to every class. On smaller days, like Wednesdays, it almost feels like you have her all to yourself hehe because she checks in with everyone and gives genuine encouragement (like always l!) I absolutely love her and I’m so grateful to have her as a coach.
Had a fantastic first class with Coach Mary!! She is so welcoming and encouraging, can’t wait to try another class soon!
IT WAS AWESOME !!
Always a welcoming feeling, even when I have been away for 5 months, it’s like I never left 💚🌻
Swarm Fitness & Nutrition has been a great fit for me. Coaches like Ally are great at addressing individual needs during class, keeping everyone engaged, and encouraging me to stretch me out of my comfort zone to do things I don't always think I can do (but they do). Having a community to support and cheer for you makes a big difference. I’ve made some great connections and friends here.
I always feel safe during my workouts at Swarm Fitness & Nutrition, which is really important to me. Ally is great, and I feel very comfortable during classes here.
Please to work with Ildar. Great suggestions and attention to the form. Thanks Ildar!
Micheal is the coach for the majority of my classes. He takes the time for every individual regardless if they’ve been there for years or someone just starting. Micheal’s instructions are very clear and he expects the whole class to give their all. When there is an exercise someone can not do, Micheal has a scaled version for everyone. Most important, everyone has a good time! Thanks Micheal
“Brian is a fantastic coach! He explains everything clearly, keeps you motivated, and makes every workout feel productive and confidence-building.” 💪😊
Seth is a new coach at our gym, and he has already made a great impression. He is very professional, takes his role seriously, and demonstrates strong knowledge of the exercises and how to explain them clearly to clients. He is especially attentive to new gym members, making sure they use the correct techniques and taking time to answer their questions. Seth brings great energy to every class and interacts well with the group, which makes workouts more engaging and enjoyable. It is clear that he genuinely enjoys coaching and is passionate about helping others improve.
Great coach and amazing gym with a ton of energy!
I've been a member of this gym for about 9 months now, and it has truly been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. When I started, I couldn't hit full range of motion in my squats without using a box to make sure I was getting low enough. Since then, I've gained strength, improved my form, built endurance, and developed the confidence to take on workouts I never thought I could do, including signing up for the CrossFit Open under the encouragement of our coaches. The coaches here are exceptional. They are educated, intentional, and deeply invested in their members. They watch you closely, see your progress, and won't let you shrink yourself or downplay your growth. They support you through nerves, push you past doubt, and celebrate your wins, big and small. They truly see you. On your best days, your hard days, and everything in between. The facility is clean, organized, and professional. The environment is welcoming and encouraging. This is more than a gym, it's a community that helps you grow in ways that go far beyond fitness.
Brian’s great and makes sure I’m learning the ropes while giving me a healthy push!
Good energy and support.
I like how supportive and encouraging Coach Brain was. There was no judgement and he offered easier and harder options for each exercise which was great! He made me feel less intimidated and lost during the workout since it was a first time trying cross fit. I like the playlist as well along with the group of people I was with, they were all friendly and helpful
In typical fashion, great time. Hardest part about going to the gym is “getting to the gym”! But then we have these great coaches who keep us safe (form) and engaged. Ildar is one of those.
Coach Mary is truly amazing. She’s incredibly uplifting and empowering, and you can tell she genuinely cares about every person in the class. She always takes the time to teach and explain movements clearly, with so much patience, no matter your skill level. Her motivation and positive energy make you want to show up and give your best every time. Because of her, class feels welcoming, encouraging, and fun and that makes all the difference.
Michael was very understanding about my inability to do certain movements and changed the exercises so I could participate in class. He corrected my stances and movements with no judgment.
Hi Michael! Thank you for a great class today! You were very supportive and motivating, and I really appreciated how you explained the movements and checked on everyone’s form. The workout was challenging but fun — great coaching!
Mary Cook welcomed our 5 am class today with high energy and lots of smiles! It was so comforting to have Mary meticulously review the mechanics for our strength workout. 🏋️♂️ Mary is very I tune with each athlete’s skill level and helps them progress as they wish. She is encouraging and very disciplined herself which is very encouraging to me. Please join us at CrossFit Swarm. Come just as you are!
Mary is an excellent coach! She is authentic, warm and welcoming. She has an incredible amount of experience.
Brian is always great about giving options and scaling moves so everyone can participate at their level.
Mary helps me so much with my form, and it isn’t overwhelming at all. She makes small adjustments like gently correcting my posture or repositioning my grip just enough to make a difference without throwing me off. As I try these exercises that feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar, she stays right there, offering quiet encouragement and checking in to make sure I’m not pushing too hard. Her support makes those awkward moments feel manageable instead of discouraging, and I leave feeling more confident in what I’m doing rather than frustrated.
Ildar has always been a phenomenal coach but after having taken some time off I can see the strides he’s made in his confidence. He continues to provide excellent instruction, cheerful support, and appropriate encouragement, but now he does it with a swagger and seems like he’s having a great time. Always a pleasure to see him work and looking forward to seeing it more in the future.
Awesome small tweaks that really helped my toes to target. Felt and immediate shift, thanks so much!
Although I have only taken two classes so far, I absolutely love it! I was a little nervous because CrossFit is new to me, but I feel so incredibly welcomed by the staff! Mary has gone above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and teach me the techniques and correct form at a beginners pace. I’m looking forward to attending more classes!
I walked in today unsure if I’d be able to make a PR on my split jerk. Ildar helped me come up with a plan. When I tried to add 5 lbs to my last PR I got in my head and he gave me the reassurance I needed to make the lift. I was even able to add another few lbs making a 10 lb PR today. Thanks Ildar!
I thought the instruction was clear and the demonstrations made it easy to pick up on how to do the exercises.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement! The community you’ve created is absolutely incredible 💕
Great coach- very encouraging and constantly watching others to provide feedback and areas to push yourself or improve on a movement.
Michelle is an amazing coach. She provides clear guidance by breaking down each movement step-by-step, making sure I fully understand the proper form before I start. During workouts, she closely watches my technique and adjusts my weight or posture when needed to help me get the most out of every exercise. Michelle also has a great sense of timing - she knows exactly when I need to be pushed and isn’t afraid to challenge me to go beyond my usual limits. Because of that, my workouts at Swarm Fitness & Nutrition are not just routine but truly effective, leaving me feeling stronger and more accomplished each time. I appreciate her so much for helping me grow and for making every session feel both challenging and achievable.
Tara was great! Welcoming, inclusive , and informative. She tailored the movements and reps for each individual to make it work for them and where they’re at in their fitness journey ❤️
Tara did amazing today at class. She showed me the best way to do push-ups. The class overall was great.
Coach Edmund was great at scaling me. It’s been a year since I’ve stepped into a CF space. He really helped me move but at a safe level my first day back! Thank you!
Thanks Mary for improving my form during pike push ups by recommending I move my hands behind the target
Ildar has been the coach I most consistently train with. Ildar has been a key figure in my Swarm fitness journey. He provides valuable instruction every session, he knows when to encourage me to push through and challenge myself and also knows when to advise me to scale back and perfect my form with lighter weight and repetition. Ildar and I have developed a great working relationship that fosters positive growth in the gym. I'm always happy when I see that he is coaching during the time slot I have signed up for.
Ally is an awesome coach. She is so great about making sure she checks on every single person in class thruout all the workouts to be sure everyone is doing things correctly. I always appreciate when she notices I’m doing something that needs to be adjusted. And in general she makes class fun as an added bonus with her positive energy and enthusiasm.
Supper supportive overall and knowledgeable about any mods!
Fun class today, organized and great tips for the strength and workout.
Very kind and helpful.
Alyssa is a great coach. She provides clear instructions and demonstrations for the exercises we are doing during the workout. She makes sure our movements are safe and productive, and she is always encouraging the participants.
Edmund was welcoming, attentive, and patient while helping me learn the new workouts. He took the time to correct my form and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the class. I really appreciated his guidance and positive attitude!
Good crowd management
After dozens of workouts with Coach Eddie, happy to say he is always articulate, fun, flexible, friendly, knowledgeable ! The Swarm fam is so blessed with Coach Schram !
Brian was so encouraging and clear in his directions during class. He is a really positive and fun coach!
Ildar did amazing - extremely attentive, always ready to offer correction! 💪🏾
Eddie is a really awesome coach. He always finds ways to connect with athletes and really understands what they need to further their growth and development, or what isn’t working and how to modify. I appreciate that he is always coaching on what to work on, improve, or to further challenge myself. He’s also just super fun to be in a class with. 10/10!
Tara is amazing at coaching! She’s really makes sure you’re doing the workout correctly and makes it the best for yourself!
Mary is the most motivating coach! I love taking class when Mary is coach!
It was great to be back in class after about a year off. Coach Brian received me with open arms and that meant a lot. He worked with me and was able to scale the workout so that I would not injure myself. Thank you Brian I appreciate you. Keep up the great work.
Great job
Ed is fantastic! He is very motivating and demonstrates clear instructions along with great advice for scaling options.
Mary is an extremely knowledgable coach who shows she cares about her athletes in everything she says and does. She has a wonderful, encouraging attitude and is very friendly and welcoming.
Skyler gave effective scales for an injury and lead the class with enthusiasm and energy!
Alyssa is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging, making every class challenging and fun
Did great. Always helpful, informative and pushing you through
Skyler did a great job motivating not just me, but everyone else, making sure that everyone was pushing through, and was making sure everyone was doing the workout the right way.
Mary was a great coach, very energetic and encouraging!
Michael was very informative and accommodating. I have a tight schedule and busy home life and although I had to start my first class a few minutes late he was more than happy to get me right into the flow. He took his time showing proper form and ensuring that I had the tools necessary to train at my own pace.
Michael Welch is a great coach and very knowledgeable in CrossFit! He is definitely the guy to go to for form and how to execute the movements correctly! Definitely shouldn’t miss a Michael class!
It's always a great experience when it comes to CrossFit I'm a big fan. Mary Cook was fantastic: kind, passionate about fitness, and totally focused on her clients. You can tell she truly cares about helping people reach their goals.
Michael did an amazing job coaching tonight! He is extremely knowledgeable (as always) and explains things really well. For example, he explained to the class how far apart your hands should be for a sumo deadlift using the marks on the barbell. I still had my hands too far apart so he took the time to give me a new "trick" to remember the distance apart my hands should be. I like his classes because he's patient with you, even if you don't get it right away, and he makes sure to individualize feedback.
Mary coached the foundations class today. I found it very informative and well run. Mary brought knowledge, humor , and encouragement throughout the class. I felt very comfortable and appreciated her patience in taking the time to show me proper form . Excellent coaching done by Mary!
The training was very helpful
Edmund's class was dynamic and exciting. Coach Edmund smoothly guided the team in deciding how to split up the work out, which is very much needed for group workouts.
I wish it was more than 1 drop in but as always it was a great sweat session, with individualized feedback and so much positive energy! Mary is so approachable, caring and knowledgeable! Thanks Brian & Mary for creating such a safe space to grow!
Brian is a great instructor and provided very helpful feedback on proper form. The class was fun and upbeat!
Amazing, thank you for helping me modify, and encouraging me!
You guys did so awesome! So helpful, made me feel comfortable and encouraged even through workouts I wasn’t the most adapt to.
It was a great experience for the WOD today such an uplifting and positive environment!!
I always working out with Skyler! The class goes by fast with his support and the laughter throughout!
I had a great experience having class with Ildar looking forward to another class with him! He was very motivating and helpful!
Ally did awesome! I always like taking her class because even if I am tired she makes me push myself. I had twenty pound plates on today I haven't done that in a while since my shoulder injury.
Great class!
Very helpful and encouraging.
Skyler did and awesome job making that work out feel energizing
I had a shoulder injury and worried about what I could do with it. Ed did a wonderful job helping me scale everything to be able to get the most from the class and work around the injury and feel successful.
I love classes with Ed! He takes the time to check in with everyone and is so encouraging and supportive while also helping me challenge myself.
Edd is a great coach. Always makes sure everyone is comfortable with the movements before moving on.
Another exceptional class with Ed. He consistently demonstrates attentiveness and ensures we execute the moves correctly. This is particularly important for me given my injury. Ed provides outstanding motivation. Thank you Ed for always supporting us.
Ildar did great today! As a first timer in CrossFit, it was great to have an instructor who was encouraging and able to guide me on how to do the movements correctly.
He helped me out getting back into the gym by making some things easier to do so I was able to have success in finishing the workout
Alex did an amazing job teaching yoga!
I loved it! Pairing up with someone doing
She is so sweet. Very helpful with correcting form and gives very clear instructions on movements during workout. One of my favorite coaches!
Alyssa is an amazing coach. She breaks down all the complicated movements in a way that’s understandable to all. She’s energetic, makes class super fun, encourages everyone to do their best, and pushes us when we need it.
It was wonderful seeing him! I sure do miss having him coach. He is just another coach that makes sure that he comments to each individual and makes them feel like they're an important athlete
Eli always conducts the class with an energy and excitement that extends to everyone in the room!! Skillful and attentive instruction along with a fun vibe makes taking his class an absolute joy!
Yoga with Alex was the best ❤️ challenging, fun, and relaxing. 10/10 would flow again
It was a wonderful experience. The coach was very friendly, she made me feel welcome. There was no pressure to keep up with anyone. It was a comfortable environment.
Hi Brian, thank you for helping me fix my form today! super appreciative of the attention you gave me and cheering me on, always a pleasure to see you :)
CrossFit Swarm is more than just a gym—it’s a community that welcomes everyone, no matter their fitness level. Coach Brian is incredibly supportive, ensuring that every member feels challenged and encouraged at their own pace. The atmosphere at Swarm is unmatched, fostering motivation, camaraderie, and personal growth. If you’re looking for a gym that pushes you while making you feel at home, CrossFit Swarm is the place to be!
Mary is knowledgeable and very attentive. I felt so welcomed. 🙏
Tara was wonderful today, always does such a great job explaining each movement and making sure everyone is comfortable with what they're doing.
Did great at explaining movements making my first class go smoothly.
Always wonderful!
Great coach! Clear, precise, able to scale up or down as needed. Always supportive and aware of meeting you where you are at and is also able to push you if that’s what you need.
Edmund is always full of energy, so willing to help scale, dance or share a joke. Always a great workout when he’s coaching.
I love taking Eli’s classes. He encourages you to push yourself because he knows you are capable of so much. Really look forward to taking classes when Eli’s coaching.
Great
Only Mary can get a class rallied for 260+ squats the day after Xmas! 🎄 her energy is infectious while keeping us all honest on proper form and technique!
Excellent job as always!!
Ally is a great CF coach with plenty of energy good breakdown of movements and no microphone needed 😮
Ed’s great. He always brings the energy, even at the end of the day. He’s also very good about going over the different scaling options to cover everyone in his class so no one feels left out if they can’t do a particular exercise.
Class at Swarm is always a great time! You come in wondering what the day will bring and leave feeling like you’ve accomplished something big towards your health and fitness goals. Brian’s years of knowledge and coaching shine through, and he leads every group of athletes and coaches in a way that ensures safety and success.
Great class today! Ally had to modify my workout but it was still a challenge.
Today was my first day private training with Stacey and she is an awesome coach. I have not worked out for years and was living a very sedentary life, so I came to our first session feeling very intimidated. Stacey immediately put me at ease and was very motivating, skilled and upbeat. She explained how to modify workouts, which was my biggest fear…, afraid of not being able to participate because of my lack of fitness. I now feel confident that I can eventually start a class in the future and it felt wonderful to move my body! Thanks Stacey!
I am working out with an injury and when I arrived Coach Shelley and Coach Tara already had a scaled version of the workout ready for me ! I I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue working out at SWARM despite my injury. There is truly no better place to be. No matter what you are dealing with they will find a way to keep you going !?
Edmund was very helpful and it felt very welcoming. Can’t wait to do it again!
This was the first class I've taken with Michael. He was super motivating and gave great strategy for how to attack the workout which really helped. I performed this workout way better than I thought I would. He's a great coach!
She’s a great coach helped me alot!
Eli did very good for tonight’s class. Very well explained and demonstrated. It was a great time but I’ll be sore in the morning.
This was my first ever CrossFit class and it was absolutely amazing. Brian was super helpful and supportive!
The only way I can describe brian is a leader pushing people to be there best self. when I feel like I'm at my limit he's shows me I'm capable of more. He's jokes in class always keep the class engaging and fun. The kinda man you wanna earn the respect of very meticulous with his form of his students to make sure there healthy and reach there goal all around awesome dude
Michelle is great at helping me scale what I need to and also nudging me to try new things!!
Mary is encouraging and attentive. Thank you for your help modifying and with my form!
Michael is a great coach. He always has clear instructions beforehand and actionable tips during the workout.
Mary is an incredible instructor, and her energy is contagious and addictive. Her and Brian play off each other well from years of shared experience. Mary makes what would otherwise be intimidating material approachable and attainable for anyone by building a strong foundation in a supportive and disarming environment.
Great class and coaching today !
Simply the best!
Awesome as always, pushes me to do better without shaming me when I can’t do certain things yet
It was such a treat to join in the class today in Westfield. Alyssa and Edmund were incredibly welcoming as were all the teammates. I live in Quincy and regularly work out at CrossFit Factory Wood Road in Braintree, so CrossFit Swarm was a perfect home away from home. Thanks so much!
Perfect day with a huge crowd! Thank you!!
So positive, encouraging and instructional!
Thank you for great workout, the exercise was just perfect for my first day after long recovery. Can’t wait to come for second class.
Alyssa was motivating as well as very helpful. Class was great today.
Why did you scale back the workout today from the original 5 devils press and 10 C2B?! 😫
Good circuit training for all levels and pace. The class had a diverse age group and alternative exercises for different strength and endurance levels. Can't wait to try other classes this week.
Always great with friendly expert guidance and energy
Mary is such an amazing cheerleader and supporter of all levels of ability. Her enthusiasm is contagious and the environment is always upbeat when she’s around. ☺️
Coach Alyssa is great, she knows her stuff :). Always a great class with her, challenging but so much fun!
It was my first time meeting him today and he’s great! Thank you for helping me and the workout was great I needed it!
Michelle was so helpful. It was my first class and she made sure that I was using proper form and weight, as well as modified workouts so I could complete them more at my level. Super welcoming community!
She killed me! Great workout!
Alyssa was great and helpful. She help me due to shoulder and foot issues.
Class was great today! Eli is always a great coach- very good at describing the workouts and is always attentive and ready to help with adjustments. I always feel great after completing a WOD!
Michelle was knowledgeable, and took time out to assist my daughter, Who is New to CrossFit on her movements and positioning, and she was super kind! Really loved her Coach
Brian is an incredible coach. I myself am working through a knee injury, very limited mobility at the moment, and he was able to modify today's workout and give me things I could do so that I could feel successful. Sometimes you think, eh - I can just not go and that is ALWAYS the wrong answer. Always GO! I appreciate the experience and the knowledge of Swarm's coaching staff and their ability to help everyone achieve the intended stimulus regardless of ability and fitness level.
Michael is very knowledgeable and professional. Pushing us to do our best while having fun ! Always checking in and giving pointers to get the best results.
Ally is awesome! She provides great instruction and demonstration. She is upbeat, good energy and fun.
I enjoyed today’s class. Brian was very helpful with his feedback and encouragement. I am not a spring chicken but showing up for classes makes me feel good about myself and everyone is very welcoming!
Micheal did great he always does, he helped me get a better grip doing the barbell overhead so my wrist was less bent back, he’s always very helpful and informative.
Awesome coach! Encourages everyone at all levels. Give multiple options for all different level athletes. The gym itself is really up to date with great equipment. Overall SWARM is where it’s at!
Justin is a great coach. Explains workout well and helps correct form . Enjoyed class today.
Mary is always positive, motivating, and great at explaining and demonstrating every workout!
Peyton did an amazing job coaching a large class.
Ally is great! She brings energy to the room and gets everyone motivated!
Alyssa has great energy! She has a good feel for who’s in her class and tailors her style accordingly. She is encouraging and will push me to try the next weight/skill up.
She is an AMAZING coach. Great personality. Gives really good constructive advice. I really enjoyed her.
Eli is a great coach. He is engaging, positive and informative. He encourages you to be your best version of you! Since that “version” can change daily he helps you find different ways to keep challenging yourself.
Justin was very attentive as always making sure the movements were good.
As always another great class! First day after taking 2 weeks off due to illness and the energy in the gym was amazing! It was awesome to be back today.
Class was awesome. Always pushing me and keeping me motivated. First day back from from a lazy vacation. I'm still new and was worried about being able to keep up. Everyone including Edmund kept me focused on proper technique and staying safe. As always, I left feeling better than when I showed up.
Fantastic as always. Happy to have her coaching for my first session back.
Great first class today! Both the coach and members made me feel welcome. :)
I always enjoy his classes. He explains the workouts very clearly and always gives advice to tighten up the routine.
Alyssa was amazing and so helpful! As a drop in, it’s always nerve wracking to walk into a new gym but Alyssa and Mary were wonderful in making me feel at home and making sure I was good to go!!! I will definitely be dropping in again next time I’m in town visiting!!
Ally is an awesome coach! She’s excellent at demonstrating, and explaining the movements that she’s teaching. I love her encouragement, enthusiasm, and her positive energy that she brings to the gym.
Ally has great energy!
Mike is excellent- very patient with an out of shape newbie like myself- giving me guidance and modifications as I need them.
I had a great first experience! Everyone was super helpful, I really enjoyed this and will be returning.
Edmunds the absolute best! He’s supportive and helpful with my form. He’s gentle and effective in his couching. Plus he’s always got the best music!! His dance moves are a bonus!
The class was amazing. It was definitely a tough workout but it felt good. Mary kept touching base to make sure I was feeling okay. She is a super attentive coach. She listens to how you are feeling with your body and helps you work around it.
She did great keeping everyone motivated and there is always lots of energy in the 5am class that seems to make everyone want to push themselves to be the best they can be. Great job by the coach.
Another awesome class with Peyton! Great workout, and great instruction. She is so great about helping tweak anything in the program that just isn’t feeling good on any given day.
Ally is great! Awesome energy! Clear instructions!
Super energy- made me feel welcome. Great vibe in building.
Peyton was great and was able to explain the WOD in detail despite the large class size! It was a great time. Mary also made it very easy to drop in! Great people
Super nice motivating and knowledgeable
Coach Peyton is super attentive and helpful, even catching small details that can make a big difference (like a exercise bike seat hight setting adjustment). It's great having a coach like Peyton supporting us!
Ally is an amazing coach. She has lots of energy and is very encouraging. She is very knowledgeable and helps everyone not matter their skill level.
Ally is great at cheering everyone on, picks great playlist and can always count on her to help me with my form or give me feedback!
It was my first crossfit class and I had so much fun! The coaches were awesome and if Eli didn't say it was his first time coaching I wouldn't have even known! Everyone was wonderful and made me feel so welcome. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all especially since I didn't know alot of the techniques, they were all very attentive and super helpful!
Peyton is awesome! Haven’t been to the gym in a while and she helped me through a challenging workout. A true professional.
Managed a large class really well. Time management was good. He put away my 53 lb kb after the workout, so 5 stars for that. More coaches should follow this behavior cause no one wants to put away stuff after a workout.
Fantastic!
Great
Outstanding CrossFit coach! Expert, motivating, and tailored workouts. Results-driven, supportive. Highly recommended!"
Today was my first day of CrossFit, and I absolutely loved it! I was able to sweat and get a total body workout within the first 10-20 minutes. Payton helped me with my form, adjusted my pace, and pushed me to help me get the best out of my workout. Super friendly and informative! I had a great time, and can’t wait for tomorrow!
Great attention to students. Good workout. Loved the rowing!
Michelle, like all of the coaches at Swarm, is amazing. She checks in to see how you’re doing and cheers you on while you workout!
Great as usual… keeps me focused and corrects my form when it starts to fall apart. Also understands certain limitations I have and modifies my workout accordingly.
Peyton is an excellent coach!!! Her teaching techniques, experience, patience and dedication makes me feel welcome, comfortable and positive on my workouts. Thank you Peyton!!!!
Excellent! Everything went great for my first time back after surgery.
Great 👍 appreciated his observations and corrections of some of my movements.
Mike was great as always! I’ve been working on kipping pull-ups lately, so for the workout he challenged me to get half of the pull-ups done in this style.
Coach Micheal was great ! Very good at explaining each workout and supportive .
Coach P is seriously great. Provides understandable cues regardless of my level and performs a postmortem after the WOD with me where we discuss what went well, what didn’t, and how to approach the next WOD with the same moves. She was made for this.
Love the classes w Patrick. His suggestions and corrections are done w patience kindness and humor. Thanks for the support Patrick!
Brian is one of the tougher coaches, but he is very knowledgeable. He & the other coaches have helped me, over the past 3+ yrs. I’m in the best shape of my life. They push you to become a better version of yourself. God knows I wouldn’t do a damn burpee without them.
I always feel welcomed and encouraged in the group classes. All the coaches are really informative and helpful during the class. They all accommodate my strengths and shortcomings, along with anyone in the group, i.e. injuries and optional movements. I wish I started this 10 years ago. It really has turned back the clock for me. Just walking up a set of stairs without holding onto the handrail is big. Along with more energy and mobility. Remember…there is no magic pill.
Coach was very attentive and encouraging!
Brian was great, I liked how he explained each part of the workout and let you know when the transition was to the next step. His voice carried throughout the gym and was very clear.
Patrick is awesome and always takes time to teach us how to do everything correctly. He is very encouraging and a lot of fun!
I had Mary assur
Very friendly, good instructions and helpful to people who needed corrections to movements.
Great class. Lots of fun. High intensity.
It was awesome love it thanks for having me
Peyton is always phenomenal! I always feel comfortable asking her questions and never feel judged when I asked for help.
Mike always is there to help me with my form and push me in the workout. Today he really helped with my form for all the pull up variations.
Love the workout today! Ed did a great job explaining each move and how to do it correctly which was really helpful.
Great workout coach Michael! Thank you Mary and Brian for helping me get onboard and learn the exercises. Im looking forward to many more great workouts.
Excellent coach. Peyton continues to grow and keep class fun, sassy and challenging in a good way. She always encourages me to try new things and get better every day.
Wonderful workout! I loved the attention to form demonstrated by Patrick.
First week has been amazing so far. Prior to me signing up, I was under the impression that you had to be in a good shape, conditioned, and must have good stamina to join crossfit Swarm, However that is not the case. Anyone can start as long as they have the commitment and drive. Coaches Chris and Payton are super supportive, encouraging, motivating, knowledgeable and know you by your name. Both Chris and Payton made sure I was comfortable with the exercises, kept a keen eye on my form to ensure I am performing the exercise correctly, made sure I understood the assignment and rotation, and set me up with the equipments I needed (DB, Jump ropes, etc..)… if it wasn’t for the Coaches, I don’t think I would’ve been able to push myself harder. Can’t wait till the next class !
My session was super informational and supportive I had a blast in a positive and safe environment Patrick and Peyton helped create!
I believe Coach Erin was helpful today in adjusting my weights so that I don’t tire out, as well as giving understandable and clear instructions.
First
Fantastic- can’t wait for tomorrow- great demonstration of the exercises for a beginner - 10/10 :)
Today’s workout, my first, was great! Coach Chris checked in with me to be sure I had proper form and knew what I was doing. He was very encouraging throughout and picked an awesome playlist! 😜 I also super appreciated Coach Stacey’s guidance, welcoming enthusiasm, and that both she and Chris worked together to be sure I was okay to manage any adjustments I needed to make due to my joint hypermobility. Thanks so much! 😊
It’s was a great class after not doing CrossFit for almost 2 years. Peyton was thorough and so knowledgeable. I just joined!
Love to see Michelle in the morning. See is a bright light for me. Explain’s the workout and makes it seem fun. Love her!!!!
Amazing encouragement and Instruction/corrections!!
Mike makes everyone feel welcomed in the gym and guides everyone to their own goals for the workout. Highly recommended! Hardest step anyone will make is the first one. Walk through the doors and don’t look back. 3 classes and I already feel a difference how my body is feeling. Take that step! Don’t look back!
I really enjoyed my first day! Look forward to more classes with Michelle. Glad to be part of the Crew. See you soon.
Peyton always kn
My first workout. Thank you for being encouraging and patient. I can’t wait to get after this. Thank you.
She was great, very helpful!
Michelle is awesome!!
Erin was great! Very clear in her instructions, keeping us on time, and cheering us on.
Patrick is great, wonderful, professional. Great support, help and explanation. I had amazing experience.
Great workout today! Difficult but not impossible. The sweet spot 😁
Peyton is extremely attentive and gives great feedback when needed.
Patrick is amazing! Always energetic for class, is available when I have questions about the workouts, and keeps me motivated to go harder ! 💪💪💪💪
Best class of the week! Coach Patrick is loud,funny,and most of all a great coach he provides constant encouragement, motivation and knowledge to the individual and the class
Michelle is always so patent and an amazing help when you are unsure how far to push yourself. I love how she remembers how to check on me when I was concerned about a movement or a weight to see if it’s working out for me.
The coach was very nice and supportive.
I enjoy having him as a coach. He’s not overbearing and very informative. I try to pick a time period that he coaches in.
Today was my first day! Patrick was a great educator, coach, and support! I look forward to more classes with him!
Coaching was great with logical progression of the movements.
Coaching was excellent, very understanding and helpful in regards to workout modifications. Great support throughout the workout as well.
Edmund was super helpful and encouraging!
I'm very new to this, but the class was great. Everyone is very welcoming. That is really helpful for me to gain comfort and confidence.
I love coach Mike! He gives tough love but it's what I need to push through workouts!
Eddie, as well as all the coaches at Swarm, are supper supportive and give great direction. I've learned that you can pick up a piece of knowledge from each coach and combine all that knowledge together to help you get the best out of each class. Eddie has been very informative with proper instruction and has stopped me from potentially injuring myself and corrected my form. I highly recommended his class.
I have been a member at Swarm for a little over 3 years now. My regular class time is 6:30pm with Coach Mike. When I first started, I was the definition of novice when it came to all things fitness. The support I was given gave me confidence to stick with the programming not only in those beginning stages, but also through all 41 weeks of my pregnancy and through post-partum/recovery. Coach Mike's knowledge, advice, and patience has allowed me to push myself to become the athlete I am today.
This class was my hardest yet, but Peyton was great and kept things light and entertaining. She also gave great tips how to alter the workout slightly; pace ourselves so we could complete the workout before getting too fatigued. 👍
It was a great class! I only wish that my heart could keep up! “AED, please?!!!” -Vince
My first class was awesome! Super nervous stepping back into this environment. BUT coach Michael was so helpful, supportive and encouraging. He really took the time to go over the workout, help with form and overall support. Thank you!!!
Pat is my favorite coach! He takes time to explain everything and check in with individuals during the workout! He keeps the mood fun!
Always a great experience at Swarm! Coaches are patient with new members, appropriate/safe modifications during instructions and very motivating !
I love all of the coaches at swarm. Patrick is especially funny. I actually giggle a lot when I listen to him. The stuff that comes out of his mouth sometimes, is gold. lol! He’s great as he walks around the room and checks in with everybody to make sure we are performing the moves correctly and even just to say hi. I always enjoy having him as a coach!
Love Patrick’s coaching style- corrects and encourages with accountability. I have taken two classes with his so far and appreciate the help!!
Patrick’s enthusiasm for the group is infectious! He pushes the team to work together in WODs and takes the time to work with people 1 on 1 during the WOD. Great leader, great coach!
Patrick is the best. He always knows how to motivate and knows exactly how much to push people. I don’t live locally during the school year and it’s hard for me to get to Swarm as much as I would like, but every time I do get to a class it always feels like going home again.
Love it at Swarm!! Best community and fitness in the area!
Chris is very helpful and explains all the movements clearly. Enjoy his classes!!
Amazing.. encouraging.. knowledgeable.. and fun
I love working out with Coach Michelle. She does a great job explaining all the moves and assisting you with making modifications as needed. Michelle will also challenge you when she know you could do more!
Michelle, you always bring the right amount of energy for the 5am class! Don’t know if I could finish some of these workouts without you! I also learn something new every day! Thank you!
Michael always pushes me even when I complain. He also makes sure I’m maintaining proper form and guides me if necessary. He has taught me to challenge myself and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Very attentive and always making sure about doing the right performance. Always encourage to go for more when he notices that I can do better.
