This is an unbelievable experience. The coaches/ owners are simply amazing. They take so much care and time to help everyone at their own fitness level. Most importantly, the gym is just a pool of positivity. Constant engagement and encouragement throughout the workouts are super important if you are learning the fundamentals. Also, the workouts are awesome, tough…. Sometimes very tough, but you want to come back for more.If you do an on ramp, you really cannot do better than coach lydia- I really appreciated her style and care as I emerged from over a year quarantined with little movement. That said, everyone there is absolutely top notch.

I've been going to Novem Bootcamp for over a year and loved everything about it! The space is clean, instructors are professional, fun, and keep you motivated, and the community is welcoming! I love that there is a different workout everyday and have seen great results and an increase in my overall strength.

There's no place like Novem. The coaches are knowledgable, caring and willing to accommodate around specific needs. Joe and Lesha created a community unlike any other I have experienced.

Best gym I’ve been to, hands down. Such an incredibly welcoming community! Joe and Lesha have created a positive, safe space to work out no matter your skill level. Coaches always go above and beyond to help me with modifications when needed; you will be supported at NovemFit no matter where you are in your fitness journey!

NovemFit is not just a gym. Owners Joe and Lesha have created an amazing community for people with all levels of fitness and background. I’ve been a member for 8+ years. I love the competitive, but supportive atmosphere. Best gym in Philadelphia!!

I came into Novem never having done this style of exercise before, yet the staff and members made my integration absolutely seamless. The coaches are personable, knowledgeable, committed to safety, and adjust workouts to everyone’s unique body and needs. The sense of community and support that have been fostered in this completely judgement free zone is unbelievable. This is not just a place for fitness, this is also a place to feel that you belong.

The best gym decision I ever made. Doesn't get better than Crossfit Novem's community and coaches. Been a loyal member for the last 4.5 years, starting with their Bootcamp classes and after about 7 months switching over to traditional Crossfit classes.

Trainers/coaches are awesome

I stopped going to Novem in November 2017 due to one of their trainers (who I had never met before and who didn't know anything about me) almost injuring me and the owners not seeming to care about it, except to say that was "his training style". No apology, no nothing. I stupidly choose to give them a second chance, but Novem continued to use unqualified people to coach their classes (the owners by this time were mostly absentee-owners, very rarely in the gym, too busy with their "side hustles", so they had very little idea what was going on). As such, I found myself going less and less (even though I paid, in advance, for 3 classes a week (12 a month)), as it was a chore to find classes that I could fit into my schedule with qualified coaches). So, I stopped going. Novem suffers from the same problem that a lot of crossfit gyms suffer from: (1) just because someone took a level 1 coaching class doesn't mean they are qualified to coach (CF HQ will certify anyone who has a pulse) and (2) just because someone is a "nice person" and "good at crossfit" doesn't mean that they are qualified to coach people safely. In the many years that I went to Novem, I talked to a lot of people who had bad experiences with a particular coach and would avoid them due to them being unsafe. Novem used to get feedback on its coaches, then abruptly stopped - I guess because they didn't like to hear that they were hiring bad coaches. It's sad, as there are a lot of great people who went to Novem and I made a lot of good friendships, but my safety must come first.

Highly impressed with knowledge of all CrossFit instructors and coaches. They take the time to work with each individual to make sure form is correct and weight is within reason. You are in good hands at CrossFit Novem!
