This is one of THE best crossfit gyms I have ever experienced, actually gyms period!!Staff are so experienced and full of useful knowledge that they share professionally but with a friendly manner. There is such a welcoming environment and its not about competing with everyone (unless that does float your boat) it's about being the best version of you, I love that focus.Equipment is great, small class sizes and time slots across the day.Love it.

Dropped in for a couple days. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and the facility was clean and well equipped.

I've been doing crossfit for ten years and I have my Level 1 and 2 coaching certificates. I move around often for work and have had the pleasure of being a member at 5 different yet amazing gyms over the years. Unfortunately, this is the first gym that I am writing a negative review for. There were several red flags along the way as I was doing my research but I chose to ignore them (one small example, you can drop into a CrossFit gym and try it out with no charge before spending several hundred dollars on a membership, not the case at Norwottuck). At the heart of it, I believe that they care more about making a dollar than about their athletes. They run classes with programming that is not CrossFit programming (the first four workouts I did the first week were all 40 plus minutes long...). The rail trail is right out their door, and yet in my time there, there was only one workout that included running (the rest of the members chose to use a machine inside, I was the only one running outside in the beautiful weather). They are still attempting 'social distancing' and athletes are sequestered to their small area with the coach trying to yell loudly enough for everyone to hear. They attempt to run two separate (non CrossFit) programs at the same time, so the gym is not a cohesive group moving together and the coach has their work cut out for them-trying to run two separate workouts at the same time leads to-no fault of the coach-poor coaching for everyone. The prices are competitive with the area, aka expensive, but good luck if you have to move last minute-they will keep all of your money with no apology. This Amherst/Belchertown area is dying for someone to come in and run a quality no frills CrossFit gym.

Amazing coaches and community. So welcoming to all, including those new to CrossFit or lifting/working out. They meet you where you are, take time to teach form, offer modifications, and get to know everyone at the gym. Significantly improved my strength while I was doing college athletics :)

Amazing community and people. I have been hitting all my fitness goals since I started going here. What I like the most is the small fast talking sessions that we do before class, as they offer a great way to meet everyone and hear new thoughts and great advises!The coaches give great small tips that helped me a lot to become better!

This is the place you want to be if you are looking for a good community of like-minded people who aren't trying to be the World's Greatest CrossFit Athlete. Each workout has two options: performance and fitness. Fitness is the lower-intensity option for people who want to work on fitness but don't necessarily dream of doing handstand pushups or rope climbs. Rob is an outstanding person and leader and he meets people where they are in terms of their fitness goals. I never feel pressured to do anything that I don't feel comfortable doing.

Started going to this gym post-COVID. It’s been a joy to be getting back in shape. My favorite part of this gym is the coaching- there’s lots of education on injury prevention and working around existing pain points. I love CrossFit and this is a place that fosters long term membership.

Norwottuck is a great crossfit gym. Sure, it's not the cheapest, but the community, the attention to programming, and the personalized coaching to help you achieve your goals makes it worth it.

Norwottuck has been and continues to be an excellent CrossFit gym in the sense that when you come here there is no intimidation from coaches or other participants. Everyone from day one has been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and encouraging. The coaches are very active in making sure that you are able to get the most out of your time here. For example if you are struggling with a movement, a coach will quickly show you another movement so that you aren’t wasting time floundering and are able to get a good workout in. Highly recommend for all skill levels.
