My experience returning to CrossFit after a 4-5 year hiatus was wonderful. I was anxious at first about taking a class but was warmly welcomed and enjoyed my time there just as much as when I first started. Chaya was as helpful and awesome as I remembered. She helped me catch up and perform the moves I had forgotten.

Really personable coaches and great workout programming. Thorough coaching even for someone who's been going to CF for over a decade like myself. The space is awesome with plenty of equipment and a great rig. The members help make it a great fitness community to be a part of too! Whether you've been at this a while or looking to get started this is a great place to belong to.

I had a great experience training with coach Chaya. She is very professional, patient, and attentive. She helped me refine my snatch technique with very accurate corrections and made sure to give personal attention to every person in the class. You can really feel that she cares about each athlete’s progress. Highly recommended!

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the workout, but Coach Chaya provided modifications that were challenging yet made me feel strong. The sense of community in the class made me feel welcomed and encouraged me to come back👍🏻

CrossFit Rockland is a fantastic gym with even better coaching. The programming is smart the atmosphere is friendly and the coaching is amazing. Each coach goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels confident safe and challenged. I'm so glad I joined.

Was a drop in for the day and I have to say coach Rommel was awesome. I was prepared to take it easy and go through the motions. However, he had other plans. He corrected my form, pushed me on weights and gave me the motivation to kick some ass. Great class.

Today’s class at CrossFit Rockland was a retest of a workout we did earlier this year, and I was nervous to see if I’d improve or even come close to my previous performance. With Chaya’s thorough warm-up, along with her clear performance tips and cues - like reminding me to engage my core and keep my pace steady - I was able to improve my score this go around.She constantly walked around the room, noticing small details in form and offering adjustments that made a real difference. Chaya knows how to keep the class engaged through her encouraging tone and by tailoring motivation to each athlete’s individual skills and limitations. It felt like she was coaching just for me, even in a group setting. Thanks for a great class as usual!

I really enjoyed my CrossFit session with Coach Chaya! It’s been a while since I’ve done a class, but she made me feel so welcomed and encouraged. Great workout and awesome atmosphere!

Took my first class this past week and the coach and fellow class members could not be better. Very unassuming, everyone had varying levels of fitness, super friendly and fun place to work out. Looking forward to making it a regular part of my workout routine.

Training with Coach Rommel has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health and fitness. From day one, he created a supportive and motivating environment that pushed me to become stronger, more confident, and more disciplined.Coach Rommel is incredibly knowledgeable, not just about workouts and technique, but also about mindset, recovery, and nutrition. He pays close attention to form and always explains the why behind every movement. Whether it’s strength training, conditioning, or mobility work, he knows how to tailor each session to match your goals and fitness level.What I appreciate most is his patience, encouragement, and consistency. He challenges you without ever making you feel judged or overwhelmed. Thanks to his coaching, I’ve seen real results, not just in my body, but in my attitude and energy levels too.

Chaya is ….Excellent…. Engaging clear, audible communication…. Attentive and circulating the whole gym, assessing each person’s movements. And a high motivator with encouragement.

Thank Chaya for doing what you do! You’re training and passion for the gym is top notch and such an inspiration for me and many others👍🏻🙌🏼💪🏻

Incredible coach!! Super helpful and patient in teaching proper form and supportive. Amazing. Was visiting from out of town and felt as if I was at my home !

Coach Rommel is an exceptional CrossFit coach—deeply knowledgeable, incredibly skilled, and genuinely invested in our success. He creates an atmosphere that feels both supportive and empowering, making it easy to push limits and take risks safely. His coaching strikes the perfect balance between challenge and encouragement, and it’s clear he truly cares about helping each of us grow stronger—physically and mentally. I’m so grateful to be coached by someone as passionate as Rommel.

I love Crossfit Rockland! I also drop in when Im visiting my parents back in Rockland and everyone is also so kind and welcoming. The coaching is amazing and its so great to have a place I can call a crossfit home while away from my usual gym. This place is a true gem!

Rommel is great at motivating especially so early in the morning

2025-06-08T11:32:59.350Z

Rommel is a coach that brings his “everything” to the gym each day. No matter your skill level, he trains and challenges you to reach the next level of progression, while maintaining a focus on safety and skill.

Tim is an excellent coach. He gives great advice and cues to help me perform my movements properly. I enjoyed my class.

2025-05-05T23:19:00.495Z

The coaches consistently offer easily understandable work out explanations, helpful corrections on form/technique, and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for newcomers, experienced athletes, and everyone in between.

Great coaches make all the difference and CrossFit Rockland is loaded with them. Any one of them could be singled out, whether it’s Rom’s motivation and work ethic or Chaya’s encouragement and insane positivity. Rob and company have really built a something special around fitness and camaraderie.I credit CrossFit and this box in particular for my weight loss, increased strength, and frankly feeling as well as I have since my early twenties.Keep it up team!

After trialing a class taught by Chaya last week, I decided to try a month at Crossfit Rockland.I signed up for the beginner month that includes three 1-on-1 personal training sessions. While initially i thought I didn't need the personal training, it has been really beneficial for me and I'm glad it's offered as part of the first month! Crossfit is a totally different way of exercising than standard weight training so a tutorial in the different moves and how to maintain proper form is essential!This week, Rommel has kicked my butt in the best possible way while being super patient and knowledgeable. Every session has started out with a quick overview of basic crossfit moves followed by a 10 minute strenuous sweat session. It felt so good to finally sweat and be challenged after a year and a half of being cooped up due to the pandemic. I also am feeling so much more confident and capable.Regarding Covid and once again working out with other people: The space is well ventilated since they leave the garage-type door open and everyone is respectful of personal space (which i really like) so no concerns there :)I'm not sure if Crossfit aligns with my lifestyle but I'm glad i'm giving it a try and would like to commend Crossfit Rockland for being understanding and encouraging while I explore this new fitness journey.Looking forward to what the month entails and a BIG Kudos to the team for a welcoming me so warmly.Thank you!***6 month update*** thanks to CFR I’m stronger and leaner. I go 5-6 times a week and LOVE it!**** few years later**** I’m back at CrossFit after a small hiatus after realizing that I love the community and consistency it brings me. I’m over 40 and in my best shape ever thanks to CFR! So much so that i motivated my husband to join! Don’t wait! Start your fitness journey now at CFR!
