CrossFit Union Square

Great box in the heart of union square! I’ve been coming here for almost a year now and I’ve been cross fitting for almost 3 years so I know a good box when I see one. There’s a reebok store upstairs which is super convenient and the programming here is very good. You get a wide range of movements from oly, power lifting, long and short metcons, and gymnastics movements.
The people and community here are supportive and there are a lot of us but there are also a lot of classes so no one class is super huge.
The coaches here are all super nice and skilled so you will be in good hands!

This is the second Crossfit gym I’ve belonged to, so I have some means of comparison in the Crossfit world…
The gym and equipment itself is top notch. Everything seems well cared for, and up to date. The trainers are all fantastic, and give me as much 1:1 time as they can. I feel like I’m truly working to improve my form, not just the amount of weight I can push.
Cons of this gym. Way. Too. Crowded. The class sizes are outrageous, and truly get in the way of my workouts. They need to instate some sort of cap or something because it truly is daunting. Also, the locker rooms are TINY. It’s always a game of «let’s not touch someone’s junk while I change».
Overall, I love my gym and there’s a reason I keep going.

This box is recently opened (three weeks at the time of this review) and conveniently located close to our favorite NYC hotel. We were in town for a long weekend and decided to drop-​in.
COST
$ 35 pp for a drop-​in class — on par with other NYC boxes.
TRAINING
World class, literally. Chris E. «Supple Leopard» was our coach Friday morning and he was fantastic. He took us through some great pre-​WOD warm-​ups and static holds to fire up our shoulders in advance of the day’s WOD. Programming at CrossFit Union Square is two-​time female CrossFit Games champion, Annie Thorisdottor. You really can’t ask for much higher up the CF food chain.
The equipment is top notch and the facilities are great. I would suspect this will continue since this box is tied to Reebok. If I lived in NYC, I would definitely contemplate joining this box and calling it home.
If you are in NYC and need a place to drop-​in, definitely checkout CrossFit Union Square!
