Granite Forged CrossFit

I started taking Nicole’s Saturday class at Granite Forged CrossFit to mix up my workouts and really get challenged, and this class delivers on both fronts. The exercises push me to my limits with a tough blend of strength and cardio that leaves me exhausted but energized afterward. Nicole is great at noticing when someone’s form is slipping or when a weight needs adjusting, and she makes sure everyone is working safely but hard. Plus, everyone in class is supportive and encouraging, which makes a big difference when you’re pushing yourself. Walking into a new space and trying a new class can feel intimidating or unwelcoming, but here the good vibes and fun people create an atmosphere that makes the workout feel less brutal and more like a shared challenge. The mix of challenging movements and positive energy keeps me coming back every week. AND she plays some throwback bangers!!!

Amy really brought the energy today with a killer WOD and banging playlist. The WOD was very challenging and she scaled everyone’s movements to their ability.

Kris is great!

Class with Michelle is always fun! She's great at motivating and helping to push you when she knows you can do more. I really enjoy her coaching style.

It’s the first week of the nutrition challenge. It’s going well so far. It was good to have Kris to bounce food guidance.

Always helpful. Makes sure im doing good. cares! I love learning all the different exercises.

Kris is a great coach who brings a positive energy that really sets the tone for the whole workout. The atmosphere she creates at Granite Forged CrossFit makes the gym feel welcoming and motivating, which helps me push through even the toughest parts. She watches the group and steps in to help modify moves when needed, making sure the exercises fit current abilities without losing their effectiveness. Kris also takes the time to show proper form and technique, explaining exactly how to position your body and engage the right muscles. That attention not only keeps me safe but also makes me feel confident and capable during the workout. Her guidance turns what could be a routine workout into something I look forward to because I know I’m learning and improving every time.

Kris is awesome. She is always engaged with everyone and pushing you safely outside your comfort zone.

Kris is amazing. She checks in with everyone, corrects you if you aren’t doing something properly, and genuinely interested in helping me improve from where I’m at.

The variety of classes at Granite Forged CrossFit is always fun and keeps me excited to show up. Each workout challenges different muscle groups and skills, from strength training to high-intensity cardio, which keeps things fresh and enjoyable. Working out alongside like-minded people creates a motivating energy that pushes me to do my best every session. It’s not just me who feels this - my daughter shares the same enthusiasm, and seeing us both thrive here makes it even more special. Beyond the workouts, what really stands out is the warm, friendly community the members and owners have built. It feels like more than just a gym - it’s a true “family” where everyone supports each other, celebrates progress, and creates a welcoming space you look forward to being part of every day.

Haylea did a great job of making me feel welcome and helping me modify so I could make it through my first class. It's been nearly a decade since I worked out and I look forward to the next one

I’ve noticed improvements in my strength, endurance, sleep and nutrition. Apparently it just takes showing up regularly and not living on processed foods. Kris is top-notch when it comes to guidance and encouragement. She’s always there with positive reinforcement just as I’m questioning my life decisions. I could not be happier now that I’ve found my people at GFF because nothing is more bonding than everyone dying a little bit inside for an hour but leaving saying “That wasn’t so bad. See ya tomorrow.”

Nicole was a warm and attentive instructor. She demonstrated each movement well and was very patient with all the students. If I was a full time resident I’d be inclined to join the gym because of her instruction.

Kris did a great job checking in, providing modifications to any moves, and supporting classmates throughout the session. It was a lot of fun!

It was my first class and totally kicked my butt! The environment was motivating and the support from the coach and others in the classes was what I needed to continue. Definitely what I need on a Saturday morning!

Great instruction, insight, and modeling.

Nicole is a great coach who brings a lot of energy to every session. She constantly encourages you, whether it’s during a tough set of squats or a fast-paced circuit, making it easier to push through when you want to quit. She pays close attention to your form and offers helpful tips without making you feel self-conscious. Working with her at Granite Forged CrossFit, I felt motivated and supported, which made the workout more enjoyable and effective. That kind of positive energy really sets Granite Forged CrossFit apart and keeps me coming back.

I like that you did introductions and stretches with us. Thanks, Gail

Kris was so helpful as I am new to CrossFit! I love how she shows me and motivates me!

Justina isn’t in the dropdown but she was the coach for my first class. She was great about helping me get comfortable and challenging me to try hard things (well, things that are hard right now).

Appreciated the gentle encouragement and friendly chat!

Great classes, awesome coaches! I really enjoy coming to this gym!

Amy as a coach is both professional and caring. She consistently supports me throughout the workouts by offering clear, practical tips on how to perform each movement correctly. I appreciate how she watches my form closely, gently correcting my posture or adjusting my technique to keep me safe and prevent injury. Her guidance makes me feel confident and secure, even when trying new or challenging exercises. Knowing she is there, focused on both my progress and my well-being, creates a workout environment at Granite Forged CrossFit where I can push myself without hesitation. This balance of encouragement and careful attention is exactly what makes training there so rewarding.

Haylea is an awesome coach! She is great at adapting the exercises as needed and is always super encouraging!

What did you accomplish today? Kris always does a great job explaining the routine and will always remind us if our form is off or we are performing an exercise incorrectly. I enjoy the routines when we buddy up. I always leave there feeling good about myself

Kris is encouraging and welcoming and makes GFF such a great place to workout!

Haylea was patient, kind, and supportive the entire workout. She took the time to explain each movement clearly and made sure my form was solid before increasing the weight. Whenever I struggled with a particular exercise, she encouraged me without pressure, making the whole session feel manageable but still challenging. Her positive attitude kept me motivated, and I left feeling confident and accomplished. It’s rare to find a coach who balances pushing you just enough while making sure you feel supported the whole time. This kind of experience is exactly why Granite Forged CrossFit stands out from other gyms.

The classes are always great! From the warm up to the workout the structure gets your body ready for the activity! Amy is very helpful throughout the class especially making sure everyone has proper form and hyping up everyone!

Thanks for the hip snap tip, Coach!

Awesome. I am really out of shape. I have not really moved for the last 10 years. Everything today was great. Good pace and weight. Thank you!

Kris is the best! She has always encouraged and gently pushed me. Thanks for all your support!

Haylea is great! She takes great care of her class. She’s encouraging, friendly and kind.

You do a great job giving me alternative options and showing me what to do! Thank you!

Great music! Nice and loud! Thank you Amy!!

Awesome explanation of the workout very friendly. She was constantly watching for correct form. Would.highly recommend this box.

Very patient and kind to work with me at my slow pace

Very fun and explained the workout well.

I am unable to do deadlifts because of a lumbar surgery so today Kris helped me do strict presses on the rack for the first time. She made sure I was safe and had proper form.

Hayley made me feel very welcome today. She modeled each exercise, and clearly explained what we were going to do. It was a great class! I look forward to returning soon!

The coach did a great job! She was welcoming and ensured everyone had their equipment and area to get their workout of choice in. It was nice to do the 30 min emom to just move while I was on vacation.

Thanks Kris! I enjoyed todays workout even though it was a tough one! I also liked the modification you showed me for pullups. It's great to be back in the gym.

Great! Very engaging and enthusiastic.

Great class! Everyone was really welcoming, and the programming was solid. We will definitely be coming back!

Kris was awesome! Energy and vibes were on point, and left feeling I like I just put in a good effort!

Amy was great, and so welcoming on my first day! I can't wait to go back!

My first class was everything I had hoped for. A great workout with no judgement. Kris was very patient with me and took the time to show me all the different moves and equipment we were using. I am certainly looking forward to the next one!

The class today was hard but fun. Huge class today-such great atmosphere!!

Kris was great at welcoming and explaining things to me! I’m not a gym newbie per se but I am a CrossFit newbie so I appreciate her showing me the ropes and letting me come to GFF while I am in NH for the month!

Kris is always so helpful and motivational!

Great programming. Flexibility in the programming which helps to fit everyone’s fitness level.

Josh is approachable, knowledgeable, helpful and above all encouraging

Great coach! Great morning class!

Justina did great. It was my first time doing a lot of the movements and I felt well supported. It was also my first time doing a work out like this, and it sucked but in a good way! Great experience, would recommend.

Amy creates a comfortable and motivating environment, and hosts a fun class!!

Amy, Kris and Josh are always an absolute pleasure to workout with! Wonderful coaches and are able to modify any workout to your specific needs. They also are not afraid to push you if you need some encouragement. Love Forged in Granite!

If you are looking to try a new fitness group you will feel welcomed and cared for. Kris is very good about supporting each participant with a pleasant and easy energy. It’s a great workout. I left feeling like I’m going to have a kick ass day. Today was my first class. I’ll be back

Kris is so uplifting! She makes you feel welcome. There is no bad question. She makes sure you are doing things safely and effectively! You couldn’t have a better coach.

Kris is always exceptional and motivating! She helps me with any necessary modifications!

I dropped into Granite Forge Fitness and had such a positive experience! From the moment I walked in, Kris—our coach—was incredibly welcoming and attentive. She took the time to show me around, make sure I felt comfortable, and explain everything clearly. It made all the difference. The class itself was a fantastic workout—challenging, energizing, and well-structured. The gym had a great atmosphere with plenty of people, yet it still felt personal thanks to the encouraging community. Everyone I met was super friendly and supportive, which made the session all the more enjoyable. If you're looking for a place that combines expert coaching with an awesome vibe, Granite Forge is a top pick!

A really well-rounded class that was equally challenging and motivating - left feeling sweaty and strong!

Excellent

Great! Helpful at explaining workouts and encouraging

Haylea was great! She was very supportive and attentive to everyone. She made me feel like it mattered to her that I succeeded in my goals and she was there to do what she could to make it happen.

Amy was incredibly helpful as an instructor. She is friendly, attentive, and engaging in class. I have been coming to GFF for a few months now and while I am improving, I still have some limitations. Amy was able to provide clear and useful instruction how to modify the class routine so I was able to gain the maximum benefit of the workout. I really enjoyed having her as an instructor and look forward to having class with her in the future.

I thought it was a great class with Kris! Given my limitations and knowing that I am starting from point zero with room for much improvement, I felt very supported not only by her instruction but with the other class participants. It felt very comfortable! The vibe and personalities of the other participants was great! Much less intimidating than I expected or have experienced in other gyms. I am feeling excited to explore the options and how Granite Forged can help me on my new fitness journey!

Josh is a great coach who will motivate you in a comfortable and easy way to meet your fitness goals. I recommend him and granite forged fitness to anyone looking to get back in shape. Thank you.

Kris was great, my first time at GFCF, can’t wait to go back!

Kris is a great coach with high expectations of what you can do for yourself. She’s always positive and gives you the feedback that you need to get better!

He was welcoming and greeted me with enthusiasm. He explained and demonstrated each move well and was able to show me an alternative way to accomplish the movement if needed to accommodate limitations. He was encouraging and kept checking in with me the whole class.

Kris is great. I did not know what I was doing in my first class, she was very patient & helpful.

Kris is a wonderful teacher. So eager to help and takes the time to make sure you know what you are doing and are comfortable throughout the class.

I loved the class today. Kris tailored everything to my current abilities and I had an absolute blast.

It was my first class and Kris was super friendly and explained everything out for me if i was confused. Though everything was hard and fast paced she was super willing to work with me and help me with form and all the starting out stuff. Am definitely coming again!

I’ve been training with Kris for over a year now and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s incredibly caring, always checking in to make sure you’re feeling good and moving safely, but also knows exactly when to push you to give you that little bit more

I’m new and I have no idea what I am doing, Amy did a great job showing me the different exercises and good instructions.

Good, I just need

Great job leading and directing class and keeping the momentum going!

I appreciate the motivation and the help when I need it. The workouts have been great. I feel real improvement. Thanks!

Kris was very professional and accommodating to the first timers. I didn't feel too lost or overwhelmed. She was able to answer all my questions and was very welcoming.

Excellent, my first class felt totally supported and customized to my needs

This class was so much fun, I brought my mom as a guest and she had a great time too! Perfect for all levels.

Both Amy and Josh were fabulous today! Their instructions were clear and they were very encouraging as I am a beginner. :) will be back for sure

Fab class. 10/10 would barbell here again

Awesome encouragement

Kris always takes the time to explain and help if you need to make adjustments in any of the workouts. Love the weight lifting option at the end.

I appreciate that Kris appreciate all my broken-ness and helps me go at my pace! I’m glad to be back!

it was great, thank you so much! appreciated the modifications as someone getting back into things

Loved it!

After 1 year of not working out, I met with Haylea to discuss class options and fitness goals. She recommended I try FIIT. I was a little nervous since I was so out of shape and still healing from past injuries, but I tried out my first class today and it was AMAZING! Everyone in class was so welcoming and helpful. I got a great workout and never once felt pressured. I am so excited for the next class!!

Attentive and knowledgeable coach!

It was great.. my first day and I felt very welcome

Such a great gym!! Kris and everyone I met were very welcoming, friendly and super helpful! Spent extra time with me discussing nutrition as well. Workout was fantastic- I loved it! Able to modify based on fitness level which is super inclusive! Thank you to all at Granite Forge Fitness! I’ve joined up for Saturday classes in addition to my weekday routine!

Fantastic as always!

Hard but fun!

Great workout, I am just starting out & feel totally comfortable in the full range of of attendees🤗

Granite Forged Fitness is a welcoming gym and, as a physical therapist, Kris is attentive to good form. She is great at modifying exercises for injuries and meets you where you are.

I’m about as far from a gym rat as could be, but Josh took his time and showed me what to do and best methods to do it. It kicked my butt and I actually enjoyed it! If only I didn’t forget my shoes there….my old guy memory got me again.

Amy was great. We are still learning all of the movements exercises and she is super helpful and encouraging.

Class was awesome! Amy is very supportive, and the fellow members are always super friendly and welcoming! 5 STARS!!!!!!

If you’re searching for a gym that truly prioritizes its clients, Granite Forged is the perfect choice. Kris is exceptionally knowledgeable, supportive, and professional. In just three short months, my strength and confidence have transformed significantly. - Mary

Kris is a great coach! I always look forward to her classes

Today was my first time ever doing a class like this and it could not have gone better. Kris and the other members immediately made me feel welcome and like a long time member!! Thank you for that!!

Everyone was welcoming and gave very welcomed advice. It was fun too!

I enjoyed the class very much! Hayley was great and I definitely got my sweat on!

Great coaching and great programming.

Great work out!

Another great class! Kris is always so positive and helpful. Best place to be and the end of the work day!!

For a newbie it was so welcoming and fun!

This was a great class- very non intimidating and comfortable for a newcomer. Kris kept it fun, and was very attentive to each person, making sure that we were all doing the exercises correctly. All in all, a good workout with nice people, and a class I’ll definitely go back to.

I love this gym space. While I now go for open gym, but the people and place are really inviting and supportive.

Amy is the absolute best hands down. GFF is extremely welcoming to all levels and ages. The environment is not intimidating and they are will work with you to scale as needed. The hour of class is the best hour of my day by far. I would recommend them to everyone. So happy to be part of the GFF family.

Hayley is great. She’s patient and takes the time to show you the moves and also helps you to perfect the move during class!

Amy is very knowledgeable and helped me with modifying the class to my level.

Awesome

Great! I really appreciated the warm welcome, tour of the gym and opportunity to do the class or my own thing. Everyone was friendly.

Great team workout. Great atmosphere, even though i was dropping in from Mass, it felt like home.

Class was amazing! Everyone was so kind and Josh was so encouraging!

Amy is a great coach.

Haylea was awesome and incredibly encouraging to everyone and the variety of levels in the class. She also did a great job correctly my for in one of the exercises which then allowed me to have a better range of motion.

Kris welcomed me warmly and explained all the activities as we progressed so that I could follow the steps. Enjoyed day one and signed up for membership!
