I'm so happy to have found Override North. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Being new to cross fit, I was a little apprehensive but that feeling quickly vanished. This is definitely an all levels facility where they truly want to help you meet your goals, no matter what your starting point is. Eric is a knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging trainer.

They missed the appointment
I've been going to this CrossFit gym for a year now. I came from another gym that I had been at for at least 7 years. Changing gyms was very hard for me, but sometimes change is necessary. This gym is everything I hoped for in a CrossFit gym and community. When I first started CrossFit many years ago, I was coached by someone who was very deliberate and intentional with his programming. It... More
I've been going to this CrossFit gym for a year now. I came from another gym that I had been at for at least 7 years. Changing gyms was very hard for me, but sometimes change is necessary. This gym is everything I hoped for in a CrossFit gym and community. When I first started CrossFit many years ago, I was coached by someone who was very deliberate and intentional with his programming. It kept me injury free, fit and strong. Coming to this gym and seeing the programming for the past year, I can say that Override is also very intentional with their workouts. There are cycles and reasons for how they are programmed, which allows for results while having fun. Both the owners and coaches understand the stimulus of the workout and work hard to coach that to the class. They aren't afraid to push you when you need it, but also will hold you back to avoid injury. Each owner and coach here has their own personality, which makes every day different and fun. The owners and coaches are so aware of the importance of building a community. They participate in community and chartable events, fun events like Bring a Friend days, and even leaf catching in the fall (come in September and see what I mean!). They have nutrition challenges, but their nutrition coaching goes way beyond that to help their clients live a successful life around nutrition, not just during the challenge. They ask about your family, kids, work, etc. The owners and coaches also attract people like them to this gym, which makes it drama free and instead a place where everyone is happy to see each other, and everyone lifts each other up. It's an amazing environment, a place to grow and learn and belong. It took me a year to write this review because I needed to know for sure I found the place that was right for me, and I can say I have. Every time I walk out of the doors of this gym, I cannot wait for the next day to walk back through them! Thank you CF Override North! Less

If you're looking for a gym community that is friendly and welcoming with a fantastic CrossFit program, then this is the place for you!
Amazing box! Dropped into Override North for a week while visiting family and it quickly felt like I was part of the community (shoutout to the 9am club!).

Nick and Eric were extremely friendly and welcoming. The coaching, programming, skill breakdown, and scaling options offered were excellent. The coaches are inclusive and accommodating toward those new to CrossFit as well as more seasoned athletes. The box is also equipped with all the best material by brands like Rogue and Concept 2. Professionalism, high-level coaching, fun and friendly environment - Override North has everything you need to reach your fitness goals. If you’re considering joining, don’t think twice! Less
Love this gym. The programming is fantastic. The owners truly care about members. This is a gym for everyone.

One class was all it took to know that this was exactly where I needed – and wanted – to be. The coaches are so friendly and invested in not just your physical health, but your mental well-being as well. They take time to connect with each member and make you feel so welcome.

One class was all it took to know that this was exactly where I needed – and wanted – to be. The coaches are so friendly and invested in not just your physical health, but your mental well-being as well. They take time to connect with each member and make you feel so welcome. The programming is incredible too. So well thought out and adjusted for each member’s abilities. If you can’t do something, it’s no big deal, the coaches just find another great option for you – but they also know when you are ready to be challenged and pushed a bit out of your comfort zone in a safe way. My fitness had started feeling like it was stagnant and blah until I came to Override. After the first month, I felt more motivated and in all-around better shape which is what good CrossFit programming does. CrossFit isn’t just for young people. I am in my 50’s and love feeling like I’m getting stronger, fitter and more mobile every day. I also love the smaller class sizes that provide more individualized attention and that classes are the perfect mix of serious and fun. Plus, the gym is so clean and the community so friendly. Working out at CrossFit Override North is one of my favorite hours of the day (in fact, some days I’ve wanted to go twice just to have more fun!). CrossFit may sound scary, but it’s not at CrossFit Override. Take the leap of courage and join us. You won’t regret it! Less
I am so excited to have found Override North in Avon. It has completely upped my fitness game and improved my mental health, too.

I am so excited to have found Override North in Avon. It has completely upped my fitness game and improved my mental health, too. I wasn't exactly looking for a crossfit gym near me when I stumbled across the sign on my way home from work. I popped-in mostly out of curiosity, but within minutes I knew I had found my new fitness home. Eric sat down with me and discussed my fitness and nutrition goals in detail and he seemed as excited about my goals as I was! I left that introductory meeting feeling more motivated than I had in months, but I was still a bit nervous and intimidated about trying crossfit for the first time. I imagined myself sitting awkwardly in the corner without a clue of what to do during a class. I also feared that being new would not offer me a challenging-enough workout. If I couldn't do a handstand pushup (which I can't), what the heck would I do? My fears and nerves were put to rest on day one and I quickly learned that every exercise has a challenging modification for all fitness levels. I am always challenged and never feel like a crossfit newbie-- even though I am. I could not have comfortably walked in and tried crossfit just anywhere-- the owners and coaches at Override North were instrumental in easing my fears and helping me muster up the courage to try something new. They are a constant source of support, knowledge and motivation and they clearly love what they do. Good customer service is nearly impossible to find these days, but Override North does it best. They treate their members like VIP with every interaction. Override North offers an authentic community of supportive, energetic, athletic and kind people, who will motivate you on your worst days and cheer you on loudly on your best. I have tried every gym in a 30 mile radius and Override North is hand-down the best one out there. Less
I wish I could give more then 5 stars because Override in Thomaston and Override North in Avon are the absolute best!!!!!! If you’re feeling it’s time to push beyond your limits or just get started on your fitness journey then this is the place that will motivate, stimulate and transform you while you are feeling welcomed, supported and accepted no matter your performance level and/or ability. ...

I wish I could give more then 5 stars because Override in Thomaston and Override North in Avon are the absolute best!!!!!! If you’re feeling it’s time to push beyond your limits or just get started on your fitness journey then this is the place that will motivate, stimulate and transform you while you are feeling welcomed, supported and accepted no matter your performance level and/or ability. The owners, Eric, Nick & Marsh continue to make these the most outstanding places there are. They have built so much more than a gym and are constantly putting in the effort to bring us the very best because they truly care. They’ve created an inspiring community that’s not intimidating but challenging with an exceptional team of coaches that each bring a fundamental element to the table. They’re all positive, knowledgeable and even make the more intense workouts a lot of fun. Override provides all the necessary items: a big, clean, well-equipped environment with great programming, expertise in building strength, gymnastics and nutrition for our continued development. My personal favorite is Eric’s BUILD program. And, of course, I can’t forget the members...so many awesome people that I look forward to seeing and sweating it out with every time I walk through that door. There are time slots to work for most schedules for the groups at both gyms. They also “open gym” if that worked better for you. Another great perk, they have showers at both places if you’re heading somewhere right after a workout which comes in handy! Check out Override in Thomaston or Override North in Avon. I’m confident you won’t regret it. I haven’t. Less
Fantastic atmosphere for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals. The coaches are experienced, friendly, passionate, and helpful. Plus, their is a culture of encouragement and support for fellow members. If you're thinking about joining I would give it a try, I wish I did earlier.
Over 4 years going to the Thomaston location and have been going here once a week since it opened. The owners care about your fitness and total health not just workouts. Its fun for any fitness level and will transform your life. The community surrounding the gym is supportive and inclusive which is a direct result of the programs these guys run.
Invest in yourself and join this community. Can’t say enough about the coaches who changed my life. Highly skilled, patient and caring staff.
