CrossFit takeoff helped me find my fitness routine again after Covid. The members and coaches are so welcoming and helpful. I am happy to say I have found my new fitness home there for the past 2 years and have found so many inspiring and helpful people.

I have been coming to CrossFit Takeoff (“CFTO”) for almost 4 years.I never thought I could do CrossFit, but decided to give it a try after talking with some friends that convinced me that it is in fact, for everyone. I was born with my left arm extending only to my elbow, so I wasn’t sure if I fit into that “everyone” bucket. I have also never found a type of exercise that I have stuck with for long periods of time, so I was not really “fit” when I first walked through the door. I can tell you with complete confidence and through my experience, that CrossFit Takeoff is for EVERYONE.CFTO is the most welcoming, helpful, supportive and caring environment imaginable. You’ll often hear “just show up” and I feel like some days, that is all I do, but consistency is key. I’m consistently moving and getting stronger. I have seen results, would consider myself much more fit and always look forward to this hour of my day.The coaches are amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. Workouts can always be scaled as needed and coaches work to ensure what is done is safe and effective. Scaling is normal. Coaches and members alike, push and encourage each other, offer suggestions and cheer successes.CFTO is such an incredible community and I have made so many wonderful friends here. We have fun both in and out of the gym. I work from home, so getting out and working out in this environment with a great group of people is the best way to start my day.Special thanks to Rich for his patience with me (my talking, singing/dancing and inability to comprehend movement names) and for always helping me to believe that I can do more than I thought possible. You all should be so proud of this amazing community and environment that you have built. Thank you!!I honestly, can’t recommend CFTO enough. Try it. Trust me, you’ll love it.If I can do it, you can do it.

My home away from home with friends that are like family! This place will celebrate you at your best and lift you up and support you through your worst. Coaches have modifications for every skill level and everyone is welcoming and nonjudgmental. Class times spread throughout the day to fit your schedule and memberships to fit every budget. Leave feeling better every time. Joining a couple years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I can tell you, for years after hearing about crossfit- I never wanted to do it. The connotation of throwing weights around or it being dangerous on your body or feeling like you are joining this cult-like group is some of the craziest rumors I had heard. I have been a member at Crossfit Takeoff for just over 3 years now. My neighbors had asked over and over to join them, " I would be good at it, I would love it" just sounded like a ploy. One day I finally caved, I took an on ramp class with one of the owners at Takeoff, Rich. He explained movements, different workout words, touched upon the idea that no one cares how much you are lifting, its just about being better for you. A few classes later and I was hooked. No, there were no immediate results, thats nearly impossible. But what got me, was how attentive and careful each coach was towards warming up, working on movements, guaging the proper weights, regardless if you were brand new or a fellow coach working out. They made sure you were working out to the best of your ability, making sure you were confortable - and no one noticed or cared how much was actually on my barbell. The best part about Takeoff, is my happiness. I am much stronger, healthier and keep working towards a better me. I have found life long friends here and truely love this gym.

From the day I walked into Crossfit Takeoff I knew I was home. It is a place of pure positivity. The people are friendly welcoming and non-judgmental. They come from all places, paths, and fitness levels. The coaches are fantastic and instruct you as an individual, helping you to improve in every little way. I have never felt intimidated or discouraged leaving a workout. They are always encouraging and guiding you towards your next gain. #pushingthepositiveinfitness

CFTO has been life changing for me. I walked through the doors not knowing what crossfit was 2 years ago and the teaching, training and welcoming of the coaches/ fellow members was remarkable. Specifically, the Takeoff coaches take the time to make sure you have every movement down and form is correct along with striving to keep you on the right track and push you when needed. You can't ask for a better gym or group of people overall. Drop in sometime and see for yourself!

One of the best CrossFit TakeOff - Kingston MA I have visited, and I travel all year. Staff was very welcoming to out of town guests, clean locker rooms and plenty of new equipment.

In a time where businesses have to be highly critical of their operations(for fear of losing them) , CrossFit Takeoff has exceeded our expectations. They had a very thorough plan for their Phase3 opening and implemented it perfectly. Athletes and their equipment were spaced according to State guidelines. Each station had a basket with their own whiteboard, marker, chalk, disinfectant and sanitizer. Sign ups for classes are done online to ensure there is no overbooking and coaches and members are well informed of the daily activities and procedures to navigate this crazy time we are in. Thank you to all involved with keeping us healthy and sane!

I’ve been a member for about 6 months now - such an awesome gym to be a member of. All of the coaches are very helpful & enthusiastic. It’s obvious that they want to everyone reach their fitness goals no matter what they may be. Everyone (including fellow members) has been welcoming, which makes me want to go work out that much more.

I can’t say enough great things about CrossFit Takeoff. I wasn’t in great shape when I joined and I worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up but the coaches are awesome and the entire community is super welcoming, helpful and supportive. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and I actually enjoy working out for probably the first time ever. The coaches will modify the workouts to any ability level - I kept up with CrossFit throughout my pregnancy with twins, so honestly anyone can do it. If you are considering CrossFit, definitely give Takeoff a try.

I started with them a little over a year ago. They are the most laid back, fun, and knowledgeable group I’ve known. I’ve been to a few CrossFit gyms around the world and they top them all. No matter what age you are, you’ll fit right in. I’ve witnessed people new to CrossFit join and the coaches make it their priority to teach proper technique, make them feel welcome and are flexible with their schedules. Sometimes I think the coaches know me more than myself with My physical capabilities. They aren’t just a gym, they are my second family! Highly recommend. ☺️

This is a great gym to be a member of. All the coaches really pay attention during the workouts and provide instruction and encouragement precisely when it’s needed. And during this Covid crisis, they provided online classes so we didn’t have to stop working out while the gym has been closed. Hats off to Crossfit Takeoff!
