Had another great and fun class with Michelle!! I really enjoy her coaching — she makes every class feel like something that you really want to do, and do well!! That ability to bring the best out of people is the foundational trait of a fantastic coach, and Michelle definitely checks that box and all the other ones too! I have an injury that I sometimes need to be mindful of, and also really appreciate that she (and all the coaches) proactively offers modifications, and/or spot checks the ones that I make to ensure they’re appropriate. Michelle’s friendly and positive personality and coaching style make the gym somewhere you want to be. Thanks to Michelle and all the great coaches for making Newtown CrossFit my happy place!

I've been to several gyms over the years, but Newtown CrossFit stands out in every way possible. What truly sets this gym apart, though, is the coaching. The coaches are nothing short of phenomenal. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to break down every movement and ensuring proper technique, which is essential for both performance and injury prevention. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, they help you to tailor the workouts to your individual level and are always nearby with tips and encouragement.

Christian did exactly what I am looking for in a coach. He offered sound advice on the right weights and approach to the workout. He also did my most appreciated thing, which is to correct my form DURING the workout. This gives me the chance to "try" to correct right then. So far I am really enjoying the classes and coaches.

I started at CrossFit Newtown a few months ago and I’m loving the experience! The coaches and owner are kind and empathetic. The classes are well planned and the coaches are considerate of every member and their skill level and limitations. What struck me the most was the kindness of the other members - everyone is so encouraging. No matter what modifications you choose to do, you really feel like everyone is achieving the class TOGETHER. I came here to build strength and lose weight…but I think I found a community as well. A fitness journey can be hard enough, why do it alone? Definitely would recommend it.

I love CrossFit but always feel a little nervous when I drop in someone other than my home gym. Michelle immediately introduced herself when I walked in and explained what we were doing. She helped on my form in both snatches and pull ups. She pointed out the bathroom and the water fountain immediately which maybe is a small thing but both things I usually always have to hunt out when I drop in at other gyms. I don’t love snatches and I managed to rip my hand two sets from the end of the workout but my experience was a ten out of ten and I can’t wait to drop in when I’m back in town!

The Crossfit Kids program was the perfect off season activity for my son. Lacking some confidence in his natural ability, he needed a program to stay active that was well organized and structured but also super fun, and we found exactly that in the kids Saturday class. As a fitness professional myself, it was important to me that my son stayed engaged and looked forward to going every week. The energy level of the sessions was impressive and something I haven’t seen in other kids programs. The kids worked super hard but were also smiling the whole time. We are busy with sports right now but will absolutely be back when things slow down!

If you’re looking for a CrossFit gym then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been in and out of CrossFit since 2011 and have worked out all over the world. I can honestly say that this is the best and most technically proficient gym I’ve been to with the friendliest atmosphere.
Classes are extremely organized and you can tell all the coaches have the right training and take their job very seriously. The atmosphere isn’t as competitive as a traditional CrossFit gym which is completely fine and works extremely well. It’s really health and fitness over competition.
You can tell Matt the owner cares a lot about your individual experience. He spends lot of time making sure things are running smoothly and that everyone feels appreciated and taken care of.
Again, I highly recommend CrossFit Newtown. You won’t be disappointed joining one bit.

After weightlifting for most of my adult life and recently switching to HIIT style workouts, I decided that I wanted to switch up my exercise routine. I found CrossFit Newtown because it’s close to where I work. I had always been nervous to try CrossFit, but knew that it was something I would enjoy. Matt made me feel comfortable explaining the CrossFit process, and Carrie did an excellent job with my onboarding sessions to make sure I was able to do the basic movements. I have been doing CrossFit since December, and I absolutely love it. I look forward to every class. If I lived closer, I would be here every day. Carrie, Michelle, Janice, and Kayla have been great coaches. The workouts are tough and challenging, but the ability to modify when necessary makes the workouts a little less daunting. The members have been super welcoming, and I can see why this box has a great community. Highly recommended.

My journey into CF Newtown began with small group classes along with one-on-one sessions with a coach to help me develop both my skills and my comfort level. I quickly discovered that the only thing that was holding me back was my own flawed thinking that I wouldn't be able to keep up. I have been taking the full classes for about three months and I can't say enough about: 1) the coaches being supportive, welcoming, and helpful in suggesting modifications as necessary; 2) the members being welcoming, helpful, and supportive every day; and 3) the growth I've made has been amazing, and while I may still modify some skills, I don't feel awkward or embarrassed in doing so because everyone works at their own skill level and still makes growth. Thank you to everyone for welcoming me and helping me find a love of fitness.

This is a GEM of a training facility.
It's a very friendly and warm community culture from Day 1. All the coaches are incredibly talented, passionate, and have an effortless knack for making tough workouts fun. The lead coach is everywhere at once supporting you during classes so it feels quite individualized even in a group environment, and there's often a coach or two on the floor taking classes alongside you, which is cool! It's clear they have rigorous technical standards they're teaching to, and are well-prepared to offer a modification to fit any fitness level/situation.
I had 1-1 onboarding training with a stellar CrossFit coach-athlete: Ms. Kayla Freeman. Kayla was super attentive and regularly adapted to push me ("to go dark") when I seemed too comfortable or to let up and make sure I don't overextend and burnout during a workout. She knew me better than I knew myself in this training environment and I have much respect for the level of expertise required to teach as flawlessly as she did!
Many thanks to Matt for running a strong ship here and all the other coaches (Carrie, Christian, Curt, Janice, Michelle, Kayla!!!) for giving CrossFit a great name.

When our 11-year old asked us to find him a training option so he could get stronger, faster, and more agile for his lacrosse game, CrossFit Newtown was an natural choice for us. Matt and Kayla are responsive and detailed in explaining training options, and finally getting us connected with our son's trainer, Curt Cothran. Curt is AWESOME! His energy level, passion for training, positivity, flexibility customize each work out to our son's desire, commitment, and just being an overall great human being, have sparked an energy in our son, that we hadn't seen before. He ends each session dripping with sweat, and a smile almost as big as Curt's.
If you want tree trunk legs and enormous bi-ceps, there are other options. If you want to create positive fitness habits, using proper techniques, overall fitness progression, and community, CrossFit Newtown is worth a look.

Signed up my 14yo son for one-on-one with a trainer once a week then added a teen group semi-private session once a week, just so he could start feeling more comfortable engaging in fitness activities, gain strength and understanding how his body moves. And while exercise may still not be his most favorite thing, he understands the importance and is committed to learning and putting in effort so he can excel at it. The coaches and trainers are a big part of that because they motivate positively and practically.

When I moved to the area and was looking for a gym, I didn't have anything specific in mind. I stumbled across CrossFit Newtown on Google Maps and, despite being apprehensive about it, decided to see what it had to offer. That was nearly a year ago now, and I'm still so glad I gave CrossFit Newtown a chance! Prior to joining, I had never been part of a CrossFit gym before and had only limited, self-taught barbell experience. I worried I would be too inexperienced to either keep up with everyone else or get enough out of the workouts. What's more, I was worried I'd be just another number taking up space in a class and left to fend for myself without personalized instruction - an experience I'd had before in other class workouts. But this gym is nothing like that, and it was very clear from my first 1-on-1 meeting with Matt, where we got to talk about not only the structure of the classes and what to expect as a member but also about my fitness experience, injuries, and any weaknesses or pain in my body. This information fed into a more personalized onboarding experience with a coach. I had the pleasure of working with Coach Janice, who first assessed my mobility and then taught me all the common CrossFit movements, from burpees and kettlebell swings to pull ups and Olympic lifts. For any movements that were too challenging for me or flared up some recurring knee pain, Janice gave me alternative workouts I could do. Janice was extremely patient and attentive with me, remarking on my form and helping me improve my technique. This level of care is not restricted to the onboarding either! Each class, the coach always starts with breaking down each movement in the warm up and workout. I've found this extremely helpful as I don't have to be stressed before class about forgetting cues or how to do certain skills. Breaking down movements before we do them has helped me to build confidence, improve my form, and feel safe as I work out. Additionally, throughout each class, the coach will provide individual feedback on ways to improve and/or provide progressions to more challenging skills. For that, I can't praise CrossFit Newtown enough!
CrossFit Newtown meets you where you're at. Whether you've never set foot in a gym before or are a seasoned athlete, you will always be met with a challenge appropriate to your skill level. The coaches are attentive and passionate about what they do. They even know everyone by name! The coaches at CrossFit Newtown really care about each person performing at his or her own personal best, and they each strive to help every member get to the next level in his or her personal fitness journey.
Last but not least, the community (members and coaches!) is extremely warm, inspirational, and supportive. It's been wonderful to see familiar faces at class each week and to make friendships within the gym that carry outside. No one cares about points or comparing each other, and there is no intimidating leader board in the class. The focus is really on being active, challenging yourself, and having fun. I couldn't be happier with choosing to join this gym!

I would highly recommend Newtown CrossFit to anyone, especially those newer to CrossFit like myself! I’ve been working with Coach Janice who knew how to adapt to my level of beginner, and ensured that each session was both challenging and fun. My fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my skills since joining!

I’m not an elite athlete, but I’ve been been doing CrossFit on/off for around 12 years, and have trained at a number of different facilities. While all had their plusses/minuses, the last three gyms I trained at ultimately closed. My point is that many CrossFit boxes will come and go, but there are those handful that are successful, even in spite of challenges such as the COVID outbreak. CrossFit Newtown is such an example. They have excellent, FULL TIME professional coaches who keep you challenged and engaged. They really want you to succeed in your goals and will work with you regardless of your condition. The community is awesome, and it inspires me to get to the gym! Over the past 9 months since I joined, I’ve regained some (but not all) of basic gymnastic/strength movements I let slip, and also increased my VO max from 38 to 41 mL/kg/min (numbers don’t lie). It’s been a great journey, and I highly recommend CFN!

Come for the workouts and equipment, stay for the people. I’ve been a member at CrossFit Newtown for almost 6 years, and I can’t say enough good things about this gym and its people. They’ve created a culture where you feel supported and comfortable working exactly where you are on any given day. The coaches are incredible. They’re knowledgeable, patient, kind, and are able to recommend appropriate movements regardless of your skill level, experience, age, or injury status. Between the coaches and members, the gym is filled with all around good people.

Newtown Crossfit has been my home for almost a year. The knowledge and expertise is the best in the area. Often times, people leave boxes due to a lack of quality coaches. Newtown will not disappoint. The coaches are invested in your goals and pick you up—when you’re not having a stellar workout. Michelle is a ray of sunshine @ 6:30 in the morning.

I can’t say enough about this place. My first class was a few weeks ago The coaches are great the people are great. I was welcomed with open arms by everyone. The workouts are challenging but tailored to you because the coaches are all stars.
I have Been a CrossFitter for a decade and have dropped into hundreds of gyms across the country. This includes big name gyms and CrossFit Newtown is up at the top. Matt is a great owner and it shows, good leadership starts at the top and his team shows it everyday.

I have been going to CrossFit Newtown for a year now and I have to say it is hands down the best community I’ve been a part of. I first came across CFN when I went to cheer my husband on at one of their competitions. I didn’t know anyone but still went and was instantly greeted and welcomed by everyone. The coaches and the community were so welcoming that I signed up on the spot to join. I knew this was the gym and community I was looking go after moving to Newtown from NYC. I’m beyond grateful for this gym, the coaches, and people that make up CFN. Being new to Crossfit I felt completely prepared after my onboarding with Janice and felt like I had a proper foundation before jumping into classes. They really take the time to properly demonstrate the workouts with a focus on safety and have a range of movements accessible for all levels. I have also worked with Janice for Nutrition and have seen incredible results. The coaches do an amazing job of pushing us to be our best all while bringing people together to create the stellar community that is CrossFit Newtown.

This is a great Crossfit gym. I came as a 1-session drop-in while traveling in the area; it was easy to schedule and set up. Big, clean facility and lots of easy parking, with attentive coaching and a friendly and welcoming environment. The workout was intense! I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

I love CFN! I’ve been a member for 1.5 years and it’s been amazing!
The gym space is great and keeps evolving to be better utilized and provide the best experience for members.
The even better part of the gym are the coaches and owner. They are so knowledgeable with what they coach and do a great job explaining/ demonstrating and help you in any way needed throughout the workout. The owner works so hard to provide the members the best possible experience by helping build a strong community that helps make going to the gym fun, easy, and very rewarding.
The workouts themselves are fun, challenging, and accessible for all. At first I wasn’t able to complete all the movements from the workouts (and still can’t do all of them), but with the coaches giving the proper guidance during class, and giving modifications for movements, it means that you’ll always be able to get a great workout in regardless of your ability.
If you’re looking for a gym that provides a great workout experience and is fun at the same time, CFN is the place for you because of the great gym space, amazing coaches & owner, and strong community within the members.

I dropped in CrossFit Newtown for the second time and it has always been a very positive experience. The community seems to be a healthy and friendly one, and the coaches do a great job in paying attention to all athletes, running comprehensive warmups and giving scaling options for every movement. The facility is in great condition and every equipment needed for CrossFit is there. I recommend dropping in if you’re in town or considering looking at the membership options!

CFN is a very welcoming community and the coaches are great, particularly Carrie and Michelle. They focus on proper form and safety first. They push you to challenge yourself, but in a safe manner. They will always help you to scale or work on progressing with a particular movement. I’ve been a member for 7 years and I’ve tried just about every training regimen, and the workouts at CFN have been the most challenging I’ve ever done. They’ve also delivered the best results of any program I’ve ever done. I’ve introduced my son to it and have him working with Carrie.

CrossFit Newtown is a highly professional organization that has really helped me improve my overall fitness, strength, health and nutrition. I participate in a small group exercise class that specializes in back issues. I would say that in a non stressful environment this experience has changed my quality of life for the better. The exercise coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful. I have also participated in one on one nutrition services and have learned so much. I would highly recommend them!

I have been a member of Crossfit Newtown for as long as I can remember. I started with kids crossfit with Matt around age 10 and began training personally with Carrie since my freshman year of high school. Now as a Division 1 track and field athlete, I still cannot wait for the summers I get to take classes and train with carrie and my training partner Maddy. I felt extremely prepared for my college training after working with carrie for so long and taking classes with the rest of the coaches. The gym atmosphere is kind, welcoming, and energetic which i believe starts with the coaching. All of them have great energy and knowledge. I may be biased but carrie is the most knowledgeable and helpful trainer i’ve had in all my years as an athlete but also so kindhearted and truly cares about her athletes. So blessed to have been a member in this community for over a decade!

I have been with Crossfit Newtown since my freshman year of high school, and am now entering my junior year at American University playing D1 lacrosse. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience here, and it starts with the people. I have had the same training partner all my years and the same trainer. Carrie is incredibly focused when it comes to designing the best plan for us as athletes, but is the most genuine and kind person you will meet. Her care for us as people and athletes is what has helped Kayli and I succeed at such high levels in our sports. She along with the other staff members have made me feel welcome each and every time I walk in and push me to find new limits. My own progress from the start of my journey to now is so rewarding to see how far I have come in not only my abilities as an athlete but also how much I have learned about fitness, nutrition and my body. I am so grateful to have joined this community when I did, and I look forward to more years as an athlete working with Crossfit Newtown.

Matt and his team of coaches go above and beyond. They continuously maintain a safe and fun environment which allows one to feel accomplish upon finishing a workout. The gym etiquette is top notch and the support received from the coaches keeps me coming back at 5:30am (lol). Prior to starting my CrossFit journey, never once have I trained with a barbell. During my onboarding process, Coach Carrie progressively assisted with my fears and today I am grateful for her patience. Thank you to all the coaches - you are all very talented and its a pleasure being amongst the best of the best.

CrossFit Newtown is an awesome community with professional, knowledgeable and encouraging coaches. I joined 9 months ago with a hip injury and Carrie, Janice and Curt worked with me to modify each workout. Following surgery, they helped me ease back into my workout routine, continuing those modifications as needed. Carrie has been a tremendous part of my recovery and her expertise has allowed me to jump back in without being too far behind. She is also working with my teenage son who is recovering from an injury and has very specific training goals. The community is friendly and happy, equipment is clean and updated and the workouts are varied and challenging. It is clear that Matt is invested in his business and cares about his staff and members. My favorite aspect of CrossFit Newtown is that it truly is a place for anyone at any fitness level. The staff will meet you where you are and help you achieve your goals. Come join us!

I’ve been a member at Newtown CrossFit for over 2 years now, participating in the MyZone classes. It’s not a traditional CrossFit class but incorporates components of HIIT, cardio, tabata, core, agility & strength training, providing a great full body workout. The coaches are awesome! They are well trained & knowledgeable & will help you reach your full potential but are also excellent at providing modifications for anyone who needs them. Between the staff & members (MyZone and CrossFit) it’s an awesome environment- challenging workout, good music & fun!

I’ve been a member for 18 months, and have never had a more positive, cohesive, or transformative gym experience. The gym aspect alone is very well planned and coached, and floor space and access to equipment is easy – I appreciate it very much. Then add in their fantastic coaching staff! I had an injury last year and received great support and oversight from all the coaches [to modify movements] making sure I stayed safe during my recovery. And while every single one of the coaches are exceptional, the next part of this glowing review is for my experience with Coach Janice in the nutritional program. Being able to work with a great coach who knows you, knows how you work out, and has the nutritional training to pull everything together has been a game changer for me. So far, I’ve lost over 15 pounds that I know is gone forever, and I look and feel better than I have in a very long time. Janice has, and continues to be, very supportive and I appreciate her guidance and expertise in both Crossfit and nutrition! Can’t say enough about this gym and all the amazing people in it – before I came here, friends talked about how everyone here was ‘family’, and it really is true. Matt has built a very special place, and I’m very glad to have found it!
