Today was a great introduction to Cross Fit! Jimmy did a fantastic job introducing me to the curriculum, explaining the technique, and showing me how to make modifications for my skill level. The class was challenging, but it was a welcoming atmosphere. At the end, people came up to me and gave me a fist bump telling me I did well! People are so kind and encouraging here-- it made for a great start to my day!

Just started up at the Swamp about a month ago, and have super impressed with the coaching and workouts. It is truly a 'community' and fosters all the great aspects of the crossfit experience, without any of the "bro" culture that dominates other gyms. If you are looking to get your fitness to the next level, I highly recommend checking out the Swamp!

I moved to the area couple years ago and was so excited to find a CrossFit box right around the corner from my house. I was even more excited as I started to attend classes and work with the amazing coaches. The gym itself has everything you need to pursue a life of fitness to your full potential. Great community events and a great way to meet some new friends. Its clear the owners, coach, and community at large really care about this place!

The Swamp, in my opinion, is hands down the best community gym in Swampscott, and quite possibly, the entire North Shore. The heart and soul of the gym is the coaching staff. They have established a fitness culture that makes it comfortable for CrossFit newbies to learn advanced lifts in a safe and controlled environment. The coaching staff also does an amazing job of differentiating workouts to individual athletes needs. For example, I had severe shin splints for a few months and the coaches always modified the program to accommodate my injury - but don’t be fooled - differentiating doesn’t make the workout easier.The community aspect is also a key component of this gym. When I first joined, I struggled to complete the workouts and I was usually timed out. I think that some people would get upset or embarrassed by this, but it’s not an issue at The Swamp. Everyone supports everyone else. Even though I was last, and everyone else finished, gym members that I didn’t even know (yet) came up along side me and started doing the workout again just so I would not be alone. If that doesn’t scream community, I don’t know what does. In another example, Coach Mike D. always has people introduce themselves to someone new at the beginning of class - which naturally builds the community feel.I love working out with the coaches and members of this gym. If you are looking to get into shape or just want to challenge yourself, come work out with us.Lastly, I want to give a special shout out to all the coaches at The Swamp, especially Coach Paddie and Coach Nick. I appreciate everything you all put into the gym and into your coaching. Thank you for caring.

Amazing place if you’re looking to improve your overall fitness and don’t know how to start. I’ve worked with Mike, Paddy and Colleen so far and they’re all amazing and super professional coaches. Also, everyone is very nice and supportive.

I’ve started going to the swamp around mid march after driving passed it for years going to the Salem planet fitness and I can say that it’s the best/ fun experience I’ve ever had. Sadly I did move to another city but if I was still local I’d be going almost everyday. The people are friendly and the coaches make going to the swamp worth it. All you gotta do is just show up ?

The Swamp is the best. Coaches are helpful and encouraging and push you to be better everyday. They walk you through and breakdown all of the movements and modify and scale workouts as needed. It is an awesome community to be a part of and I highly recommend it.
