CrossFit Union Square - New York, New York

Tessa Borbridge

Had my first CrossFit class ever six months ago when I joined CrossFit Union Square, and while I was fairly certain I was going to hate it, I decided to keep an open mind and give it a month. As a total newbie to the world of weightlifting, hook grips, overhead squats, and CrossFit lingo, I was worried about keeping up, but the excellent instruction and approachability of the coaches put any of my fears to rest. My fellow class members are also super encouraging and helpful, and I am inspired by them every time I go to class. The workouts are the real deal, and push you no matter your fitness level. I still have a lot to learn, but I definitely feel stronger and more confident every day, thanks to the terrific coaches (especially my regulars Amanda, Chris, Ross, Elyssa and Jay!) and the whole CrossFit Union Square family.

Such a friendly gym, coaches are very welcoming and front desk is super helpful. Workouts are what you’d expect from CrossFit, in an encouraging environment!

Morning classes tend to fill up in advance, I’d recommend reaching out in advance to get set up into their system (Wodify).

Dropped in for a morning class which was the best start of the day. Thank you to Ross for coaching and Amanda for helping with setup, setup was a breeze.
The community is great! It was a treat to be a part of the community this morning. I’ll be back next time I’m in NY

I take no pleasure in writing a negative review of a CrossFit box, but this was by far the most unfriendly affiliate I’ve ever visited. When someone from the community makes the effort to drop in at a box outside their home city, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to expect a basic welcome and courtesies. It’s no secret that CrossFit is a declining sport, and with staff like this, it’s easy to see why. Do better team!

CrossFit Union Square is the best. Incredibly welcoming people, tons of classes, and the coaches are truly top notch. They take the time to get to know you, always walk through the moves & strategy behind them, and offer up suggestions for how to scale the workout whenever you need. Thanks for being awesome!

Did a drop in, unfortunately, not the best experience at a crossfit gym. It might have been the trainer that day reading other reviews but the front desk personnel was more welcoming than the trainer itself. Throughout the session there was zero attention to technique or improvement, felt more like our trainer was hyping everyone (yes also important) than actually giving tips to improve on technique. And yes the entrance is the door with no signage next to the Reebok store.

I’m still very new to CFUS, having just moved to NYC leaving my gym of 3 years. In the 4 classes I’ve taken so far, all I can say is that I am so happy to have found this community. The coaching and programming is top notch and while I miss the gyms I called home, I am really grateful and excited to build my little life here in NYC with CFUS close to the center of it. I hope you drop in and feel what I felt after my first class, and decide to stay too.

And the off-peak membership is ?

Great CrossFit gym. Terrific instructors with some of the best programming I have ever seen. I love the basement vibes and the fact that there is a PT on staff. Truly an iconic gym in a great location.
