Excellent workout every time! Everyone is so welcoming and instructors modify the workout to your ability but push you to be your best! The music and people make it so fun!
Mike and his coaches are knowledgeable, motivating and design intense workouts! I love coming to class!
Great coaches, well equipped. Nice community.
Super friendly and welcoming as well as professional and definitely knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness. The community here is amazing and I’m glad I found this gym.
Factory Athletics and Wellness offers it all from CrossFit to the Fitness Center to Pound and Zumba there is something for everyone. The coaches are very knowledgeable and will make modifications to the workout if needed. The members are very supportive and will cheer you on until you finish the workout. I have been a member for 6 1/2 years and this is the best gym that I have been a part of.
Great gym. Family atmosphere.
Awesome gym with awesome people super motivating environment
Factory Square is an inviting and encouraging workout atmosphere, excellent for achieving your goals, whatever they might be! The workouts are diverse and challenging and the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and provide excellent cues to level up your form/performance! Highly recommend!
Factory is so fantastic. I’ve been a member for about 2 years now and it was the best decision! The coaches are all INCREDIBLE, the facility has everything you need and more, and it’s right on the trail so it’s the perfect place to run. Truly a warm, welcoming environment full of knowledgeable professionals who want to help you be the best you can be.
This is by far my favorite gym in all the places I have frequented throughout the years. The community moves the bar so much higher than could possibly be met easily, elsewhere. If you go here for workouts you will have accountability, friendly faces, fist bumps, your name known throughout by all the coaches, and, yes, you will be in the best shape of your life. Everyone genuinely cares and it is... More

Fantastic gym! Top-notch coaches who will push you in the best way possible. The community welcomes all fitness levels and the workouts are perfectly designed to challenge you, no matter if you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out.
I LOVE THIS GYM! Incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I tried out a few other gyms in the area and none compare to Factory. Absolutely must join. The box is huge and equipment is well maintained! MUST JOIN!

I've been at Factory Athletics for about a month. While working out is not new to me, CrossFit is. Any concerns that I had about joining a CrossFit gym were eased the moment I asked for a tour. During the tour, Lindsey and Mike spent over an hour with me, responding to all of my questions and concerns. I enjoy the workouts and in the month that I have been participating, I have noticed that my strength and endurance have improved. I'm able to access, on average, about 65-70% of the prescribed workout but I also believe I am benefiting form each workout. I've worked with a variety of the coaches (Mike, Ellie, Brandon) and they all provide me alternatives to the either the volume of work or types of movement when I request it, in order to accommodate my current body mechanics and limitations. Coaches also provide specific feedback on the Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics, both of which are new to me. While most, if not all, of the athletes participating in the workouts are stronger than I am, I find the clientele to be welcoming, inviting, and encouraging. Each of the coaches works with me to ensure that I get the most from each workout. Less
Simply put, the BEST. Coming from basically no background in working out, everything from the on-ramp course with Lindsey and Mike to the now day to day CrossFit classes with all of the coaches, has been best experience. The coaches truly care and take the time to explain/teach. The community here is unparalleled and truly welcoming! All thanks to Factory, I have fallen in love with working out! ... More

I love this place. I’ve worked out my whole life but got tired of doing the same stuff all the time. This place changed the way I’ll work out for the rest of my life no matter where I go. Great people and great ownership!
Crossfit Factory is a true community, committed to your fitness goals with a genuine approach. The coaches are experienced, kind, patient and full of ideas to help anyone at any level. I've been to almost every class time, although I'm usually a 6am'er, and each class has great vibes and people. I highly recommend this gym!!
Great coaches, great gym.
Good people, good vibes 😎 👍🏼👍🏼
Join now! I’ve been doing CrossFit for 10 years and the energy at this gym is unmatched! The coaches are fantastic, the programming is challenging and inclusive, and the members are the best. Seriously, what are you waiting for?!?

I’ve been a member for 7 years. So many great people and excellent coaches that have helped me become a better person mentally and physically. If you want a positive change n your life . Come check factory athletics out.
Excellent coaching staff and a wonderful community of people! I have been a member for 4 years now and the workouts are challenging and all coaches and members push you to be your best every class. I love this place!

It’s not just a gym. It’s a family!
Imagine a place where you can walk in and get greeted with a smile and someone who knows your name. There’s always a decorative seasonal tree for every occasion. The workouts are intense but everyone there from the owners, coaches and members are helpful, friendly and want to help you be successful. I highly recommend checking into this wonderful crossfit/gym.
I joined this CrossFit gym last year and have enjoyed every minute of it. Lovely people, great community, ongoing community events. Personally, the summer BBQs are the best. Members are very engaged. Great mix of competitors and people that just want to get a workout in. Truly a big part of my life.
Great gym very clean and very friendly love this place
Awesome gym with amazing coaches!
Awesome community and coaches.
Great gym owned by great people😌
Dropped In while in town for business and was welcomed at CrossFit Factory Square. Great facility, great coaching. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the area.
Una oportunidad exelente para dar a conocer nuevos negocios
Very welcoming staff. Dropped in for a workout expecting to pay and they didn't charge me. Great facility. Look forward to going back the next time I'm in Southington.
I came as a drop-in for a few days and felt very welcomed and integrated during my time at FA. I will most definitely be coming back here when I come back to town - it's hard to find a crossfit gym that is accessible and approachable, especially to drop-ins.

I came as a drop-in for a few days and felt very welcomed and integrated during my time at FA. I will most definitely be coming back here when I come back to town - it's hard to find a crossfit gym that is accessible and approachable, especially to drop-ins. The hours are great, and though I didn't get a chance to participate in their olympic lifting class - I have a feeling based on the direction of the coaches during their Xfit classes that it is well-organized and informative. This is a crossfit gym with solid programming, helpful coaches, responsive management, and great resources for its members. In addition to offering tons of classes and a wide open gym window, this box has so much space and equipment for its members to pursue fitness in how every way they want to. In addition to the main crossfit space, which is spacious and full of good quality equipment, there is a whole other end of the building that splits into both a cardio machine center and weightlifting hub (in addition to the stationary bikes, ergs, dumbbells, barbells, etc. provided in the main crossfit space).

The owner would come over after each class I was there to say hello and chit chat with me. He even gave my wife and I recommendations for things to do for our visit at Block Island. When we come back next summer my wife and I will come back to Factory Athletics mainly for the great ownership, great coaches, and wonderful people at the gym. Thank-you for opening your doors to my wife and I! Shout out to Mark Mooney our friend for recommending us your gym and especially Bobby Vargo the owner! for opening up your gym to us Less
I have been a member of this amazing gym for a year and a half and truly enjoy coming to this gym everyday. The coaches are always encouraging and motivating so that you can be the best athlete. The owners are always there and truly care about their members. The facility is always clean and neat and welcome everyone of all abilities.
Greatest gym ever. It is never about the equipment, which is all brand new, it is about the atmosphere and community. step in on your first day or your thousand and first day treated like family.
I have been going to Factory Athletics and Wellness for a year now and all of the coaches are great. The atmosphere is great and all levels are welcome. The facility is always clean and neat. They have something for everyone from the Kids class to spinning to the FIT class and of course CrossFit. They even offer a space where you can come and use free weights or even do circuit training.
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly coaches, trainers, and staff. The community wellness focus is second to none, programming is solid, equipment is in great shape, and facilities are clean.
Great box, lots of equipment, Metcons are always a challenge. Coaches are super helpful. Love dropping in here when I am in town.
The application to the United States Military Academy consists of three parts: academics, leadership, and the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA).

The application to the United States Military Academy consists of three parts: academics, leadership, and the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA). This assessment consists of push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, a basketball throw, a shuttle run, and a 1 mile run. Out of each applicant who takes the CFA, almost 50% fail. In January of 2017, I met with Mr. Bobby Vargo at CrossFit Factory Square to discuss training for the CFA and took a baseline assessment. At this time, I was able to do 3 pullups, 25 pushups, and 40 situps. Over the next 6 months, Mr. Vargo and his team of coaches helped to mentor and train me to not only pass this exam, but to excel at it. Mr. Vargo also aided me to improve my diet, which led to a notable improvement in my daily attitude and my academics. Mr. Vargo, his team, and the CrossFit community helped push me beyond what I thought I was capable of, so that when June came and I took my CFA, I nearly tripled my score baseline in almost every event, reaching 11 pullups, 54 pushups, and 95 situps. On January 21st of 2018, I accepted my appointment to USMA. Without the help of Mr. Vargo and CrossFit Factory Square, I can confidently say that I would not be where I am today, and if I could go back in time, I would have joined CrossFit long before I did.

This place is excellent in so many ways. Possibly the best of which is the sense of community they have and the friends you will make.
♡ the 5am crew! And the Box Bistro Peanut Butter Bites!
It's a great place with great people their. They really make you feel comfortable to be their like one of the family. My hope is to achieve my goals by continuing going their consistently. And the owner Bobby vargo is absolutely great.
just started a few months ago and i know 1000% more than i used too, great trainers
Awesome support, always encouraged and motivated to push myself!!

Going from bodybuilding to crossfit has been a game changer. Haven't pushed myself this hard since high school sports. When you feel like letting up, there's someone beside you who is still pushing hard. Great environment in so many ways.
Amazing, supportive group of people. When you want to quit and somebody next to you isn't!! AND they're pushing you! Loving it!
Dropped in at Factory Square today and couldnt have asked for a better experience. I was welcomed by the owner as soon as I walked in and every person I met was super nice and accommodating. Great WOD too. Hope to come back sometime soon! Thanks guys!
Luv it!!!
Somebody needs to figure out how to clone Factory Square, the coaches, and bring it to every community...

There's something for everyone at CrossFit Factory Square. All fitness levels can show up and receive coaching, support, and guidance toward their goals. Whether you want to become more athletic, feel healthier, lose some body fat, or just try something different from the normal gym routine, CrossFit Factory Square is where you want to be!
There are few things I look forward to more during my day then the time I get to spend at Factory Square. The owners and coaches are the best around. The care and respect that each of them has for every individual is what makes this place special. I can't imagine too many places that has a community like this. Its why I go and why I push myself more than I thought I ever could.
I've been going for a year strong now...and this place changed my life, no exaggeration. Great coaches and awesome people...that makes for an awesome combination , this place is my sanctuary. ..my happy place. I'm proud to be a part of it!!!
I want to sign up
