Nothing like a heavy barbell workout (the best kind of workout, obv) to ease the new-kid-in-class jitters. TJ made me feel so welcome, and Kelsey both challenged me and made things 'frictionless' in what turned out to be a surprise partner workout. Looking forward to coming back tomorrow (and the next day...and the next...).

I realized I'd never written a review and now that we're moving it felt like the right time.I joined Orchard Valley CrossFit in Newburgh during a pretty big weight loss journey because I knew I needed to add strength training, but I was so intimidated. I'd never thought of myself as athletic, and the idea of walking into a gym full of people who looked like they knew exactly what they were doing was terrifying.I couldn't have been more wrong.From my very first class everyone was so kind. The coaches, the other cross fitters, everybody. Every coach has their own style but every single one of them is so encouraging, patient, and always willing to meet you where you are. They scaled workouts when I needed it, never made me feel like a burden, challenged me when I was ready, and taught me so much along the way.The people here make this place special. People are so helpful, celebrate every little win and somehow make you feel like you belong.I'll never forget getting my first fist bump after a workout. It was such a small thing, but it made me feel like I was in the cool kids group!I'm pretty introverted and awkward and honestly a bit of a weirdo, but I always felt comfortable being myself here.I also want to mention the Pride flag hanging in the gym. It meant a lot to know I was in a place where the people I love the most would be welcomed and accepted.I'm leaving stronger and more confident than when I first walked in and I'm so grateful for everything the coaches and this community have taught me. I’ll definitely be finding a new CrossFit gym in our new home and continuing CrossFit there.If you've been putting off trying CrossFit because you don't think you're fit enough or athletic enough, I was that person too. Go for it!Thank you for everything, OVCF. I'll really miss this place.

If you’re thinking of joining CrossFit this is the gym. Every one was so welcoming and patient with me being a first timer

Super easy to get started, super friendly and supportive community. Facilities are clean and organized, plenty of natural sunlight, and comfortable. Would definitely drop-in again.

Wonderful community, excellent coaching, and a very comfortable environment. My favorite gym.

2026-04-03T14:02:13.199Z

The coaches are so helpful! Everyone there is very encouraging which makes working out really fun. I’m new to cross fit and everyone had made me feel welcome.

I did the free crossfit class. I went for my first time and i enjoyed it. My instructor joe made sure I understood everything and demonstrated every workout. Everyone was welcoming and what I loved most was that Joe pushed me which is what I needed. After this class, I can say I have never felt this good After a work out.

Incredible place, amazing staff that takes into consideration all types of people. The workouts are great and I have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.

2026-03-05T22:11:07.053Z

Great coaching all around, and awesome community. As someone who is new to CrossFit, but not to training, I consider myself highly coachable. I really appreciate the in-depth instruction and support from Orchard Valley coaches.

2026-02-03T16:40:30.246Z

It was my first time in crossfit class. Really helpful for improving my upper body strength. Erin is very nice.

2026-01-16T21:19:01.017Z

really enjoy working out at Orchard Valley CrossFit! The coached classes are fantastic—coaches always check your form, encourage you throughout the workout, and offer helpful modifications if needed. The community here is super friendly and welcoming, which makes every session even better. Highly recommend!

2026-01-14T23:38:53.968Z

Joe is the best! I'm still a CrossFit beginner and he always takes the time to show me modifications that I can handle. He's quick to correct my form and has helped me improve so much already. I really appreciate his patience and his ability to push me to achieve more than what I usually think is possible.

2026-01-07T02:54:17.318Z

I love Bill’s warm ups because they allow me to really stretch before class. He’s always super helpful in sticking to good form. He’s always so encouraging during the workout. He definitely brings a great atmosphere and has the best playlists !

This gym has been an amazing find. Every coach here is fantastic.I’m completely new to CrossFit, and Katie has been incredible—she really takes the time to make sure my form is right and explains everything clearly. Even in classes with around 15 people, she still gives genuine one-on-one attention and scales movements to where you’re at, which makes a huge difference.Honestly, this is one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. And it’s not just Katie — all of the coaches are top-notch and truly invested in helping you improve. I’m really grateful I found this place and can’t recommend it enough.

Great experience with the team at Orchard Valley! Definitely an open community vibe and a place where you can be pushed to grow at any level. It's been the perfect place to get back into my fitness journey and really build back strength. The instructors are knowledgable and just awesome people!

2025-12-15T16:06:59.625Z

Awesome gym, great coaches and welcoming members

2025-12-12T18:06:07.234Z

This is the fourth Crossfit box that I’ve been a member of. This is by far the best one. Nick and Penny created an awesome fitness community here. The coaches, like Joe, are enthusiastic, helpful, and good teachers. The workout programming is exceptional. This has helped me reach PRs and stay motivated. Thanks Orchard Valley!

2025-12-01T22:50:28.726Z

The coach was good, she gave me tips on deadlift that I never knew before. Fun workout.

2025-12-01T15:45:33.190Z

I’ve trained at/dropped into over 20+ CrossFit gyms across the country and this gym is top tier. I was impressed with Coach Joe’s coaching, the programming, and the overall gym atmosphere. This is one of those rare CrossFit gyms where you can get a great workout whether it’s day 1 or year 10 of your CrossFit journey. Absolute hidden gym in the Hudson Valley. I would recommend to everyone!

2025-11-17T15:48:30.306Z

Everyone at OVCF is fantastic! I get all the encouragement and support I need

2025-10-11T18:05:25.921Z

Coach Penny is amazing! She always keeps class fun and the warm-ups are never boring. She explains everything clearly and pays attention to the small details that make a big difference in how you move. You can tell she really cares about everyone getting better. Plus, she’s hilarious, her sense of humor keeps the energy up even during the hardest workouts. I always look forward to her classes!

2025-09-16T15:22:23.573Z

Becky is always positive and supportive while also helping me to push myself safely. I truly appreciate the great energy she brings to every class!

2025-08-12T21:07:05.467Z

Great workouts, knowledgeable coaches and very friendly atmosphere

2025-08-12T15:23:21.715Z

Erin always does such a wonderful job! She’s supportive, knowledgeable and brings a great program together every time for StrongHer. So happy to have her as our coach ❤️

2025-07-24T23:35:55.338Z

This was my first time in an official CrossFit gym. Bill was very approachable, helpful, and he had good tips on movement/form. Would do again

2025-07-10T17:42:18.352Z

Erin is super supportive and motivating. She makes sure to find movements that everyone can do and encourages us to move and lift at our best for the day.

2025-07-10T03:46:06.246Z

OVCF is operating on another echelon of fitness establishments. A supreme gym. Fitness fanatics of all abilities are welcomed and trained by the finest coaching staff in the greater Tri-State area. I encourage everyone interested or mildly intrigued to come and be a part of the movement!

2025-07-04T15:02:45.891Z

If you're looking for a positive and motivating Crossfit gym, look no further. The gym is large and well-equipped. The coaches are very knowledgable and welcoming. Newburgh couldn't ask for a better addition to their business community.
