Awesome environment

I enjoyed my Saturday morning workout! As a drop-in, it’s always a bit nerve-wracking to visit an unfamiliar place, but Shay and my partner Davika made me feel welcome and helped make it a great experience.

Bridge will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary this fall, and I’m proud to have been part of this community for 7 years and counting. Thanks to the instruction of highly qualified and dedicated coaches, as well as the support of the membership, I’ve grown not only as an athlete, but also as a friend and a leader within a very special community. For me, Bridge isn’t a “gym.” It’s a place where I started my CrossFit journey and ended up finding so much more - rewarding challenges and the encouragement and support to face those challenges head on. Because at Bridge we don’t just do hard things — we do hard things together. ◡̈

Greg and Annie have not only created an inclusive and fun community, but also a space to seriously train and improve your fitness. I have several sports related injuries, and always believed the bad rap that CrossFit gets. 100% false. Each of the coaches ensure that your form is correct to prevent injuries, and you feel like you are the only one in the room with how attentive they are. As someone who was scared to lift anything heavier than a 15lb dumbbell a year ago, I assure you if you want to start lifting weights, but are scared, this is the gym to join. I have seen a significant increase in both my conditioning and strength that has carried over into not only my sport, but also my overall life.

Amazing classes and the best coaches. Love Bridge Athletics!

Juju should get a million stars, not just 5. She is an awesome coach, and working with her at Bridge Athletics (CrossFit) feels like being in a personal training class.Throughout every workout, she watches everyone's form, correcting my technique to make sure I’m doing each movement safely and effectively. Juju always encourages me, noticing when I’m hesitating and pushing me to reach beyond my comfort zone. Her energy and attention make each session challenging but rewarding, and I leave feeling stronger and more confident. It’s clear she cares about my and the others members progress in her class.Bridge Athletics are blessed to have her as a couch.

Bridge is a great place for all levels and all fitness goals. Always warm and welcoming.

Update: Four years later. Everything below still holds, along with great new coaches like Roy Rosado, who teaches a Strength 101 class on Sunday mornings. Check it out!Terrific ego-free, diverse community at Bridge Athletics, with great instructors who are all about helping every individual reach their potential through functional fitness. (AND in a brand new beautiful gym space with freshly unboxed equipment. Check it out!)

I had previously done Crossfit pre-pandemic but my fitness routine had fallen off for a number of years. I found Bridge in 2024 and was quickly drawn back in. Greg has done an amazing job of building a supportive community that is welcoming for people at all ages and fitness levels. I've been participating both individually and with my teenaged kids (13 &16) and the classes have been challenging and fulfilling. There is nothing like struggling through something hard with your kids and celebrating a shared success.On a more personal note I've seen real changes in my 51 year old body. More muscle and flexibility. Better endurance. I'm healthier than I've been in almost a decade. Recently I had a physical and my tests showed I had dropped 40 points in cholesterol and gained 6 lbs of lean muscle. While Crossfit wasn't the only factor (I made serious diet changes to) it certainly contributed to my improved health.Bridge has been a wonderful community to be a part of. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in improving their fitness in a healthy way.

Bridge is as good as it gets if you're looking for a supportive place to challenge yourself physically and mentally. Top notch coaching and good people make this truly a special place to train your mind and body.Every coach I've worked with at Bridge is damn good and takes their role seriously. I've been to too many gyms that write a WOD on a white board and send you on your way with little more than a few words of encouragement between glances at the cell phone. Bridge coaches are engaged throughout every class, encouraging and advising each athlete on how we can get just a little better with each lift, movement and WOD.Great people. Great value. Great place. 5 stars all the way!

I joined the Bridge Community in January 2024. My experience with Coach Jimmy Toppeta has been transformative!Jimmy encourages me to tap into my inner strength while building my physical capabilities. This holistic approach has led to lasting changes that go beyond just the gym.Investing in personal training has taken my fitness journey to new heights, allowing for a tailored approach that group classes didn’t provide. I realize now that the combination of physical and mental challenges I face are essential for growth. I am feeling stronger and more confident after each session.I look forward to continuing my journey with Jimmy & the Bridge Community!

The facilities are great but the best thing about Bridge are the coaches and the members! The environment is very safe, very caring , very careful and enthusiastic. I am in my early 60’s and never would have imagined that I would be doing this but I am really enjoying it so much and getting so much stronger. Their focus on me doing it right before doing more makes me feel like there is less chance I will hurt myself. I encourage you to try it out!!

I love BRidge for many reasons. Teachers make the workouts, interesting and varied. The accountability of being in a class brings out the best in me, in terms of putting in Max effort. I have made so many friends there. It’s a one stop shop for fitness and my social life:)Here is just a small example of what it’s done for me. As anyone familiar with CrossFit or now, we never run more than 1 mile at a time. By the way, I love the running parts of our workouts 200 m 300 m 400 m etc. On Saturday, I ran a 5K, with no preparation whatsoever. Running it and finishing it was pretty much a piece of cake, even though I didn’t train specifically for it. Being able to do that, gave me a real sense of how CrossFit contributes to my overall fitness and my personal sense of being able to take on whatever physical challenges might come my way. Love Bridge!

I joined Bridge Athletics (Crossfit), because it was easier to commute to. I started with personal training and with the push of my coach I joined the group classes. The coaches are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in helping each member reach their goals safely and effectively. The sense of community here has been very good for me; everyone supports and motivates each other through every workout, making even the toughest WODs feel achievable. Joining Bridge Athletics crossfit has been one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness journey! I highly recommend it.

Bridge is an exceptional CrossFit gym and community. Warm and welcoming to all levels. Before coming here I’d never done CrossFit, but the team made it feel hand-in-glove. Stronger than I’ve ever been now attending their classes that are available across the week and smoothly plan-able in their app. Even lets you log and track PRs as you work with their outstanding coaches. They’re a beacon in the community.

Bridge is a world class training facility. It is an incredibly professional environment in which the owners, coaches, and athletes are all really supportive and knowledgable. Whether you are looking to compete, get in better shape or feel better, this is the place to be. The coaches really take the time to work on your form and make incremental improvements. Since I have been going there, I have made significant strides in strength and have seen my resistance to injuries greatly improve. I would highly recommend everyone to give Bridge a try, you won’t go to another gym again!

Of all the CrossFit gyms in and around Montclair, Bridge Athletics stands out for being a highly professional yet close knit community that really cares for your development. Every one of the coaches are exceptional and deeply invested in the members. The group classes are amazing and it's something I most look forward to every day. There is never a dull day at Bridge Athletics.

2023-05-02T22:04:37.744Z

Bridge Athletics was my introduction to CrossFit. The owners, coaches, athletes all made the gym a welcoming environment. All of the coaches became as invested in my progress as me. They're encouraging and not pushy. I could openly discuss my fitness successes and failures without being judged. Bridge was built to be a community and it has totally succeeded. I'm lucky to have been a part of it!

2023-02-01T01:15:49.840Z

I’ll be honest, I decided to try going to Bridge because it is the closest gym to my house and I was lazy. Now, I may still be lazy, but I absolutely LOVE working out with the Bridge community — the encouragement from the coaches + other members is incredible, the workouts are fun, the atmosphere is communal and kind. I’ve never been a champion athlete (read: picked last for every dodgeball team in high school gym class) but I feel like a champ every time I get inspired to try something hard and surpass my own expectations at Bridge Athletics.

2022-12-12T20:41:54.675Z

I was brand new to CrossFit and slightly intimidated when seeing how strong and easy everyone made it looked. Everyone at Bridge Athletics was so welcoming, not only the coaches but the other members as well. It really is an amazing community where everyone cheers each other on and celebrates personal records. I love it!

2022-09-01T15:51:54.336Z

This place isn't for everyone. It is for those who regularly celebrate the progress of others, in addition to themselves. A space to push yourself beyond what you believe to be possible and learn to demand more of yourself. It is easily the best decision I've ever made to invest in myself and my health. If you are on the fence about improving your performance or just starting your journey, Bridge Athletics is something special. Well done Greg and team.

2022-05-16T20:22:32.346Z

Bridge Athletics is a terrific place to improve your fitness in a fun and supportive environment. The workouts can be extremely challenging but you can scale the workout to your level of fitness and the coaches and community are there to help and support you. A great gym.

2022-05-16T19:07:12.301Z

So happy to have found this community!! Worth every penny!

2022-05-02T18:04:32.697Z

Greg, Annie and all the coaches are amazing. Fernando helped me recover from a lower back injury, now I feel great and I’m able to do all of my workouts!

2022-01-25T02:29:55.549Z

Bridge is a great community of athletes and a special place to work on becoming a better version of yourself. It is not cliquey and everyone is super friendly, I felt like I was part of the team on day one. The coaches are ALL extremely knowledgeable and professional, and take the time to learn every member's name, strengths, goals, injuries or concerns, etc. All of the workouts are scalable and accessible to members of every experience level, while being fun, varied, and challenging. Can't recommend this place enough!

2021-12-23T20:07:32.803Z

Amazing staff and great facility. Highly recommend!

2021-11-25T16:38:47.675Z

Yooooooooo! Turkey day caloric justification workout in the books! Visiting from Denver, stopped in at the bridge for a high intensity session and had a GREAT lift! Are you looking for great coaches, high energy, and a solid group... you found it! Till next time, cheers BRIDGE

I was visiting family in town for the holiday and I can’t say enough about this gym! From the staff (we met Greg, Ryan and Fernando) to the everyone working out - the whole atmosphere made me feel at home! Whenever I travel I love to drop in a do a great workout and bridge athletics definitely pushed me to work (and within my level). I will definitely be coming back when I come back into town! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you again for the excellent workout!
