Nick is amazing! He explains every movement very well and if anyone needs extra help he is more than willing to explain and demonstrate as many times as needed! And let’s not even talk about how motivating he is during the workouts! Top notch coach/leader and all around GREAT person! Same goes for every coach at CFA!

I was traveling back to the east coast and was looking for a place to workout, I came across CrossFit Ares and could not be happier! Extremely well versed and friendly coaches! I was welcomed and felt right at home after just one class! Clean and modern facilities as well! If you’re in the area and need a great place to workout CrossFit Ares is worth a look!

Totally enjoy this kind of workout. For me It is perfectly designed to fit my fitness goals and then some! Great staff and work out group! Glad I was introduced to the team!

Nick has filled the shoes of an experienced coach. Checks on everyone, concise with pointers and has the most positive attitude. He also manages and controls the room. Definitely a keeper.

Joined CrossFit Ares during my last semester at Merrimack College and I had a great experience! The coaches, programming, and facilities are nothing short of amazing. The coaches do a great job fully explaining the workout, take the time to review all movements, and provide individual feedback. The programming is also highly adaptable regardless of skill set. I cannot recommend CFA enough!

The quality of the exercises are top notch; but what really makes them work is the energy and the people there committed to you meeting your goals and helping you every step of the way. This place has both of those and more. I highly recommend going here.

Kristin is a fantastic coach! She is fully invested in each athlete’s performance at each class, offering guidance so that they can maximize the benefits of the workout. She does a great job making sure everyone feels part of the community.

Kristin always brings her A-Game. She’s very thorough when demonstrating each movement and she makes sure everyone in class is properly scaling to their ability for each workout. While doing this, she’s also always pushing you to improve. She brings the energy, and each class she teaches is fun, functional, and challenging all at the same time.

Fabulous gym and community. The coaches CARE a lot about your personal development, inside and outside the gym. Workouts can be scaled for any type of individual. You will not get bored here and are guaranteed to make friends, across all backgrounds and physical fitness levels.

John and the coaches at CrossFit Ares are exceptional! They provide motivation, tailor workouts, and ensure correct form to prevent Injury. The community they’ve cultivated extends beyond just a gym — it’s a supportive network! Highly highly recommend to anyone on the fence!

The class was wonderful. The coaches at CFA are all very friendly and patient. CrossFit can be really intimidating when you don’t know what’s going on. But the culture of this gym is very welcoming and helpful.

I've been here for a few months and it's been a fantastic experience!

3 years CrossFit experience and I can see no matter your skill level, you can tell all the coaches care very much about each of the members! The attention they give to each and every one in the class is evidence of that! These are two of the many reasons I joined CFA including the great level of coaching I get from the coaching crew!

I had another fantastic class today. Coach John helped with improving my push jerk movement. It made significant difference in my performance.

I’ve tried a lot of different types of workouts including your standard open gym, boxing, jiu jitsu, different types of group classes, etc and I’ve never felt at home until I found Crossfit Ares. I was terrified to start, feeling out of shape and having not had any form of physical activity for months. Coach John encouraged me to give it one week before I wrote it off and I’m so glad I did!

I’ve tried a lot of different types of workouts including your standard open gym, boxing, jiu jitsu, different types of group classes, etc and I’ve never felt at home until I found Crossfit Ares. I was terrified to start, feeling out of shape and having not had any form of physical activity for months. Coach John encouraged me to give it one week before I wrote it off and I’m so glad I did! The classes are different every day and can be scaled to a level that feels more attainable but is still a challenge to your individual ability. They have plenty of class times to choose from and a clean facility but what really drives it home for me is the people. The coaches and other members are kind, patient, and encouraging while pushing you and keeping you accountable. I used to dread going to the gym, at times literally be sick to my stomach just thinking about going the next day, driving there questioning why I was doing this to myself. Not anymore. I have never felt more comfortable, challenged, and feeling like I’m really going to hit my stride in physical and mental health thanks to Crossfit Ares. If I can do it, anyone can. Come try it, you won’t regret it! Less

Excellent class Kyle! Great instruction for the squat snatch!

Always helps with form and scaling. Little tips and tricks, like clearing arms in wall balls, always helpful to level up

First class I had with Kyle as the coach. Kyle was awesome. First thing he did when I arrived this morning, he introduced himself. He then listened to all my excuses as to why this crossfit stuff is hard for me to do, he smiled and told me no need to worry, and I believed him!

If a supportive community and excellent coaching are important to you then check out CrossFit Ares. I feel supported, seen and challenged in every workout at CFA. Every body and every level is welcome here. CFA all the way!

ANYONE can do CrossFit, and there is absolutely no better place to give it a try! You’ll get an incredible workout with world class coaches that actually genuinely care about you, but more importantly you’ll experience a community like no other. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Could not recommend this gym highly enough.

Good stuff, head coach rocks and is fierce

Great gym 💪

Been coming to CrossFit Ares for almost 2 years now and it is hands down the best gym around. From coaches, staff and amenities you won’t find a better gym with a better community. Come check this place out and I promise you won’t be let down!

Best crossfit in the area!

Amazing place with amazing people - an environment that provides the space needed to grow and foster a sense of community

Joining CrossFit Ares is the best decision I’ve ever made, and is always the best part of my day! Amazing coaches, lifelong friends and a supportive community!

You will not find a more genuine and engaged coaching staff. The entire community is invested in seeing you meet not only your goals within the gym but also your goals outside of it.

I’ve been going to CFA for about two years now…I can honestly say that this gym changed my life. I feel the strongest I’ve ever been, the fastest and mentally well.

Extremely knowledgeable and supportive coaching staff. No matter what your fitness level, you will be sure to find a work-out customized to meet your level. Options from a very competitive cross-fit level to scaled versions are always available. A very welcoming environment for all levels and ages.

Excellent facility, Great coaches! Great atmosphere.

CrossFit Area is a really special CrossFit gym. It’s a true community that genuinely cares about its clients and their fitness.

When I joined, basic workouts were hard for me but after doing couple of months of personal training with Coach John - I've seen a dramatic increase in my strength and overall fitness.

Lastly, the community at CrossFit Ares is welcoming and supportive no matter your skill level or abilities. Less

Great coaching and fun atmosphere!

The coaches are helpful and give different level versions of workouts for everyone to choose from and will accommodate you if you need it. They and many of the members are quite friendly.

CrossFit Ares is the best place to become the best version of yourself, inside and outside the gym. The coaches are by your side 100% of the way through your journey to help you succeed in your goals! While being surrounded by an amazing community of members with the same mindset.

Where to begin? I cannot say enough positive things about this gym. I was only a member for about 4-5 months before work had me back on the road, but it was incredible and I will be back. The coaches are always enthusiastic and attentive. The community of people there is fantastic. I have been a member of various crossfit gyms over the years, and Crossfit Ares is by far the best one.

Great place not knowing a lot about CrossFit. Staff were able to accommodate my level of fitness and subtly pointed out movements that would improve my form overall. I saw people of many different fitness levels and various ages. Will return again for a drop in when in town!

Have met great people who push me to continue even when I don’t feel I can. The guidance and patience from all the coaches is amazing.

Dropped in while on vacation. Great coaches, people, and facilities. Will visit again when I am back in town.

Great gym! Awesome community!

I moved to the area at the beginning of the year without a sense of community and friendship. I joined CrossFit Ares to push myself physically and mentally.

I wish I was smart enough to have taken a before picture. I am just over 100 days since joining Crossfit Ares, and I feel great! I needed an early class so I could get to work after. Cross fit was not my first choice, as I was terrified of the word and what I would see on TV, I was pretty convinced if I tried it, I would die shortly after starting. However, despite my fears, Coach John met with me, put me through an intro work out, that felt like I was going to die, but I did not. He worked one on one with me to get my confidence up more than anything and a little work on my body. Again a before video of my trying to put on sox in the am to me doing that now would have been awesome, this place is where miracles happen! The other crossFit ares in the class are super supportive, even when you are the guy slowing everyone down. I have a long way to go, I have not touched my toes since 6th grade, however, Coach John and Coach Kristen have me believing that in the not to distant future I will be able to touch my toes again! Highly recommend this Gym! If I can do it, you can too!!!! Less

Great coaching and community. Highly recommend.

The team and community as CrossFit Ares are fantastic. Helped me get back into shape after the pandemic and were always accomodating to any limitations I had. Overall a fun and vibrant area to work on your physical condition with world class coaches and the knowledge.

CF Ares has been excellent - John + his staff are very knowledgeable + helpful, other members have been great. I'd never been to a Cross Fit type gym before + for me personally it's been much better than a traditional gym

Coaches are very friendly and professionally. Good experiences!

Class today was great, as always. John did a good job giving feedback along the way to insure correct form. He and all the coaches are also great motivators which helped keep me going in the workout today.

The coaches are great, sharing their knowledge of nutrition and fitness on top of teaching the classes, showing everyone proper form and technique.

The best people, the best community, the best time!

Joined this gym a while back and had nothing but positive experiences. John and the other coaches are masters of their craft. This gym has such a welcoming community and is meant for all levels of fitness. Definitely a place to come if you are looking for a place that motivates you to challenge yourself with each workout!

Love CrossFit ares and working with coach John (and all the coaches at CrossFit)! I joined the gym about a year ago and it was the best decision ever!

The coaching is great and they teach to everyone no matter your age or fitness level. Anyone who is looking for an incredibly supportive environment with really good people should check out CrossFit Ares. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Amazing gym with amazing people.

John(the owner) great guy, let my girlfriend and myself drop in for the holidays while i was back home for open gym. Made it super easy to drop in and was very welcoming. Class act run gym and i will for sure be returning every single time when i come back to MA. Thank you!

Four months in and there’s no turning back! Awesome community, great coaches! Saturday partner workouts are great for meeting other members you normally don’t see during the week.

Coming from someone who had never tried CrossFit, this place makes you feel like home! Appreciate the coaches especially John for making each day worth going. The knowledge they have is unbelievable and professional. Best decision I took in 2022 was joining a CrossFit gym. Looking forward to be here all year!

Unbelievable coaches and community! I’ve been a part of different CrossFit gyms and this is by far the best. Everyone is very welcoming and everyone pushes each other to improve everyday. Cannot say enough about this gym.

Great place for anyone starting out into crossfit . Friendly staff and flexible class times .

CrossFit Ares has been a great compliment to my fitness. I use it to keep my body in shape for my outside activities - skiing, surfing, windsurfing, and rock climbing. John, Kristin, and Kyle are awesome coaches. They provide the right amount of coaching and encouragement. I am happy to be part of the community.

I had been at a great box (they closed) prior to finding CFA and joy in CF. I wanted that atmosphere again.

I am very happy with my decision and you will be too! Less

By far the best gym, not only the coaches, but the entire community The methods of coaching is tailored to meet everyone's needs and the other members of the gym are there for not only for support but friendship as well! truly amazing experience.

This isn't just a gym...this is the best investment you can make in your own wellbeing physically, mentally and emotionally. It is a community that supports you wherever you are in your pathway. John, Kristen and Kyle lead and engage at the highest levels. I have learned so much from them and feel stronger each and every day. Life changing......

Amazing coaches, great team. This is my best gym experience ever!

Great facility and even greater coaches! Becoming a member was like joining a second family!

CF Ares is a great gym. I've been a member now for just over 1 yr and compared to other CF gyms - this one is truly a standout. The coach:class size ratio is always great. The coaches are really nice, fun, and well educated in the sport. Highly recommend this for a quick drop in or lifelong membership

Awesome place! Great coaches and classes.

The absolute GOAT of all gyms! 3 of the best coaches you will ever find, who are ready to meet you wherever you are at right now! Coach John, Kristin & Kyle are not only great teachers & mentors, but amazing friends and role models too. Love this place so much❤️🔥

Its a great location with a family environment. All the workouts are enjoyable and I love being part of Crossfit Ares.

That just opening you up before the class start. John always find time to check up on me after my health issue. He genuinely care about his clients. I miss working out. But the one thing I love is he will always welcome me back with open arms. Thanks Ares I'll see you soon!!! Family for life. Less

All the coaches are absolutely amazing! I started out with personal training with John and shortly after I started joining the classes and absolutely love it! I feel great and started seeing results after the first month! I highly recommend for anyone!

I have had such great experiences here. The coaches are awesome and work with you so you're successful no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I've gotten stronger and more confident, made some great friends, and love going every morning...even at 5:45am! Give it a shot -- you won't regret it.

CrossFit Ares is amazing. Everyone there is so supportive of eachother and the coaches are incredibly encouraging and knowledgeable. The CFA community is a family

My second family .. coaches are amazing .. the best decision ever made was to join it.

CrossFit Ares changed my life! Highly highly recommend it. It has become my second family.

Great gym, great coaches and great group of people. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time since joining.

Love this gym. I didn’t have any experience with CrossFit before joining the gym. But during classes, coaches would make sure we get the forms right and suggest variations when needed. Also love the podcasts! They are more than just about CrossFit.

Great coaches ever and along with spacious place to workout. Feels great to be part of the community. 🙏

Absolutely love this gym! The coaches are fantastic and the whole Ares community is just as great! I was a bit hesitant on joining CrossFit as I am not an athlete. But the coaching and teamwork keeps me coming back for more and getting me stronger and better in the process. If you’re looking for a welcoming gym that will challenge and encourage you all in one, join CrossFit Ares!

awesome facility run by an owner and staff that really care

Come for the fitness & stay for the community. I was a night owl before joining and now I love waking up for the 5:45am class. There's so much energy and commitment it's contagious

Even if I could get back in it, I was nervous about flaws with form and potentially hurting myself. John & Kristin have been extremely supportive and encouraging. Their attention to detail with each and every movement gives me confidence to keep going. After about a month of being back in a routine, I feel like a new person. I've noticed changes in a short time and already feel stronger. I can only hope to keep the momentum going & feel great knowing I have their support! This is a great place to challenge yourself and have fun while doing so. Less

Coach/owner John and Coach Kristen spend quality time on the workout description and goals and most importantly, spend lots of time on the movement progressions.

I was very out of shape and nervous about doing CrossFit but John has been nothing but welcoming, inclusive, and understanding. He takes the time to demonstrate new exercises and walks you through everything step by step. I’m really happy I joined!

The coaches are amazing - clear in their demos and descriptions of what the workouts are and what they’re working on why each component positively impacts your fitness. They readily help modify anything for you so you can be challenged but still working safely - really important for anyone getting up there in years!

CrossFit Ares has given me great confidence both in Mind and in Body, turning seventy my balance was just about shot. I asked my son for help and twice Crossfit has taken me from bad to good, and back again to great. because thats how i feel after a work out Thank You Crossfit Ares Jack welz

I have been part of CFA off and on over the last 4 years and I LOVE it! Such an amazing community & the coaches genuinely care. It doesn’t matter what age you are, or where you are in your fitness journey, they are by your side every step of the way. Highly recommend checking it out!

Joining CrossFit Ares has been a gamechanger for me. The owner, John, takes the time to get to know you and to discuss your personal goals.

10/10 would recommend CrossFit Ares! The coaches are fantastic and personable. There's a great sense of community and everyone is very welcoming and encouraging.

Great space for an awesome workout! The coaches are the best. 🏋🏻‍♂️🏋🏻‍♂️🤜🤛👍

I've had the best experience here. I've gotten stronger and more confident, made a lot of new friends and learned a lot. It's very inclusive of all athletic abilities and the coaches work with you to make sure you have the right scale when you need it. I highly recommend taking a class here to try it out, and then when you love it, go get a membership!

10/10 would recommend making CrossFit Ares your new gym! The coaches are fantastic and the members are very welcoming. Great facilities

Great space for an awesome workout! The coaches are knowledgeable and great to work with. Definitely would recommend to any of my friends.

John, , the owner, is really dedicated to making every class the best hour of each members day.

This gym is the best!!!!!

Great gym, go try a class and find out

I've been going to Ares since June of 2019. I've trained at several CrossFit gyms and Ares' culture and programming is by far the best I've encountered. The workouts all have dynamic warmup and prep, strength component, WOD, and post workout mobility and extra work for those that want it.

Have been going here for over a year, the coaches are knowledgeable and are great motivators. The community is very supportive and friendly.

Amazing community! Fitness at CrossFit Ares is so geared towards helping people achieve their goals, whether long term health or athletic performance! CFA is a gym for everybody!

The community here is amazing! The people make this place special

A great group of people. The coaches are always making sure everyone is using good form and helping you improve and the work outs are always a challenge, no matter what your fitness level. I am so lucky to have found Crossfit Ares!

Fitness✅ Positive vibes ✅ Family✅ Supportive Community ✅. Hands down the best 60 minutes (47 minutes for me I’m always late) of the day. I have been with Coach John from day one of his ownership and watching him and the other coaches check off all the boxes is like watching your own kids grow up. John, Kristin and Kyle I personally thank you for what you do and putting up with me 😂.

Having never done CrossFit before, I was looking for some cross training to mix in with my running schedule. After a few classes, I very quickly got hooked! I’m loving the classes and I’m now at the point where I’m fitting running around my CrossFit schedule instead of the other way around. Thanks for making the workouts challenging and fun – and more importantly - a great atmosphere to work out... More

I love this place! Everyone is so supportive.

I have bad knees and the instructors have all been happy to give me alternative exercises. I'm still a crossfit newbie, but I am absolutely loving it here and I love the fact that there will always be a new challenge down the road and tons of variety to keep it interesting along the way. I checked out Ares because it was close, but I feel very lucky because the community here is all about support and encouragement with absolutely no judgement! This is exactly what I was hoping for and more! I would highly recommend checking Crossfit Ares out! Less

I have been curious about CrossFit for years. One day, as I was sitting on my couch eating pizza, I kid you not, an ad popped up on my Facebook for CrossFit Ares.

I have been curious about CrossFit for years. One day, as I was sitting on my couch eating pizza, I kid you not, an ad popped up on my Facebook for CrossFit Ares. On a whim I went to the gym, met with Amber, and decided to sign up for the 6 week challenge, it took minimal to NO convincing. Right away I was so glad I did it. In my mind CrossFit was going to be classes full of super tough people who would judge my ability, or lack thereof, to lift, run, do burpees, etc. Instead, I found that CrossFit Ares is just a place where people go for a work out that will kick their ass, in a community of nice people. I am on week 4 of my 6 week challenge and I am feeling great! The work outs still KILL ME, there are many WODs I don't make it all the way through. However, I am seeing so much difference in my energy and stamina. Also, I weighed myself (a no no 3 weeks in, but I couldn't help it) and I'm down 10lbs. I also already see muscle definition in places that I didn't know I could have muscle definition. My clothes are fitting better and I actually LIKE waking up at 5am to get to the 5:45am class. If you are curious about CrossFit I recommend trying out CrossFit Ares. I can't speak for all CrossFits, but I feel welcomed, supported, and so pumped that Facebook's algorithim plopped the challenge ad on my NewsFeed. Less

I just started yesterday but the Staff and coaches are really supportive. They took the time to explain everything to me and helped me feel at ease.

Great people honestly concerned with your health and fitness. Check them out!

I visited from another box in western mass and I must say the dynamic warm up was fun and applicable. The coaches and the members were super helpful and friendly. I felt very welcome there. The workout was fun, challenging, and rewarding! My 12 year old son tagged along for the workout. Training staff was very helpful and informative. I will train here again in the near future!

New coaches are not knowledgeable on technique. Might get hurt

Great coaching!! Clean facility! Awesome members! Highly recommended!

I cannot even put into words the love that I have for Crossfit Ares. Not only are the people amazing but the coaches are really what push you to be a better you.

I am the type of person that tries to work out regularly. I have to admit, I was a bit of a sceptic when I heard about Crossfit. I thought that the workouts would be more than I could handle.

Emily and Jeremy are an asset to the CrossFit Ares program. I would recommend this particular CrossFit gym to people of every level as the staff have the understanding and knowledge to bring each person to their personal best in a supportive environment.

Amazing place! great work outs, knowledgeable and professional coaching staff. Clean and well equipped facility. Scalable workouts for everyone one from the hardcore athlete to a beginner and the right atmosphere to push you to your next level of fitness!

I've been enrolled at CrossFit Ares for almost a year, and it has been a great experience! The coaches are personable and very knowledgeable, and the CrossFit community they've built is awesome. If you are considering taking up CrossFit, you should ABSOLUTELY check out CrossFit Ares!

Great coaches!! They help you scale to where you are yet challenge you too. They explain all the movements thoroughly and break it down so you can face down the WOD with confidence. I have conquered some things I wasn't so sure I could do because of them. Give Crossfit Ares a try!
