This is my second week. I considered myself in decent shape. This gym has shown me that I have so much more. The classes are intense. I go 3 days a week and find on my off days that I want to go. Josh is great, I do not know a lot of the positions. He is so patient and make me feel like I am doing great and part of the process is learning. He is genuinely a really great guy. I was nervous about being judged… Well at least when I go it’s complete opposite, many have been going for a while and are great at it. They are so motivational and always let me know I’ve done a great job. I never got that from another gym. Even though I’m a newbie no one there has ever made me feel like that at all. I recommend this gym for anyone. I’m still new I know in order to get better I need to do the work.

I'm a new member (just going into my 4th week) and so far I am LOVING it!! The coaches are amazing and the people are so friendly and encouraging. I'm older and was afraid I was getting into something I couldn't do. Every single coach seems to know when I'm struggling immediately and coaches me on proper form or gives me alternatives to the move. I am feeling great!!!! I intend on being in this box for a very long time!!

Dropped in to do the Open workout. Josh and his team were super friendly and the gym is a great space, very clean and has just about every piece of equipment you’d need. Would definitely come back!

Love this place! Joined over 5 years ago, and it's changed my life! It makes working out fun and challenging. It's never boring because the workout is always changing. It's more like an organized sport than a workout.

From the first day i walked in and met the owner Josh i knew this was the gym for me. The over all positivity and the encouragement from the coaches and other members is amazing. I'm the kind of person that needs and welcomes the type of push they give you, just when you think you cant do anymore they find that extra in you. This is a world class gym with great coaches and members who i now call friends! I've been a member for over 4 yours now and even though i commute longer now i would never want to go to another gym.Do your self a favor and check it out for yourself you wont be disappointed!!

CFEP is by far the best gym I’ve been a member of. The coaches, other members and all around atmosphere in the gym is welcoming and encouraging. Group classes and weights had always been intimidating before but they make it a safe space and work with you to help you meet your goals - including the owner and other coaches going above and beyond to help you out when you need it. I’ve made some amazing friendships at this gym which is also a bonus when you get to class. I would highly recommend CFEP!

I have been a member @ CFEP for 3 years and it is my home away from home. I moved back to RI after living out of state 20 years and didn’t have many friends still living here. Nearly my entire friend base now is fellow gym members. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the environment is family friendly. I have never been a morning person but I now make it to the 5am class due to the quality of coaching and the chance to see my friends on a daily basis. The owner also plans social events from time to time so we can all spend time together outside the gym. I would recommend this box without reservation. At CFEP you will find a safe place to workout free from judgement and full of support to help you to live your best life

I have been a member of CFEP for 3 years now. I honestly never thought I would try CrossFit, but the gym was such a welcoming space I was hooked after two classes. The community of people is amazing, and so supportive, not just in cheering each other on during workouts but also in everyday life. CrossFit and the community at CFEP is what got me through the toughest days of my life after my husband passed away. Owner Joshua Medeiros is an amazing coach who really pushes you to utilize your potential. He always makes sure you are performing the techniques correctly to avoid injuries. He has helped me immensely with optimizing my performance through nutrition and I’ve even done some private lessons to work on skills that I have been lacking in. CFEP is my safe space. I know I can always get in a great workout with awesome people which helps keep both my mental and physical health in check.

Owner, Josh, misled me about being a weightlifting gym as well as a CrossFit. He swore up one side and down the other he was a weightlifting gym. He doubled down on it even after the Weightlifting coach advised me to go to another gym to receive what I wanted/ was paying for from training. Coach said there is not enough interest at CFEP for a barbell club and that it is too much work. Asked owner several times for a refund. Asked owner for copies of any and all signed documents and agreements with regards to memebership. Josh ignored all requests. He provided some documentation rather swiftly when I reported him to the Better Business Bureau. Why not provide them to me? He has an unsafe environment with over crowded conditions. Equipment in disrepair. Children and animals running throughout while members are exercising. Children losing control of sports equipment endangering people. Save yourself a load of bs and go elsewhere!

One of the best CrossFit gyms I have ever been affiliated with and been doing CrossFit for ten years, the owner is very engaging and provides a service to all his members. He makes time for everyone based on their skill and level to ensure they hit the core value of what CrossFit is. Despite any negative reviews, I have been there for about two years now and never seen anything that would promote a negative experience. Five star service and integrity.

I have been a member of CFEP for over a year, and my fiancé over two years. The community that the owner fosters is unparalleled, and I’ve never experienced actually wanting to go to the gym until I joined here. I joined to get myself healthy again, and stayed for the people. I’ve made lifelong friends here, and have done things I never imagined I could. I ran my first 10 mile road race this year and am currently training for a marathon as well. I would have laughed if someone told me a year ago that this is where I’d be. Between my fiancé and I, we have lost ~160 lbs. I recommend CFEP to everyone and will continue to do so. What are you waiting for??!

Supremely disappointed. Was a mostly satisfied member in past, but just didn’t feel like this was the place for me anymore. Owner refused to accept that I was genuinely not happy with the product. Also, truly poor environment. One coach gave me a method to practice and owner kept saying I have a hitch without realizing he was contradicting another coach's advice. My skills definitely deteriorated with the conflicting and uninformed coaching. Inconsistency with coaching knowledge, lack of communication and tolerance of clowns ruining classes for other paying members are all contributing factors to an over all poor experience. I will stand up for myself when members make violent threats. When I raised concerns about it I was completely written off. Sad to say this place has become just about money and not about the quality of product or experience. I tried over several months to reasonably communicate with the owner, and make it work but just kept coming up completely dissatisfied. The owner knew of my on going unhappiness and concerns, but completely lacks empathy or care. Grossly the emphasis is on being thin rather than having proper, technical skills. Great skills are necessary and sustainable while fad gimmicks to get skinny won't last. Do not waste your money. Owner robbed me with promises and bull shiz. He'd rather burn a bridge than preserve a connection all for money. Do your homework. Trust your instincts and go elsewhere.
