Bowery CrossFit

This is a small, lower-key Crossfit gym. My primary complaint is that after I moved away from NYC, they continued to charge me membership dues, despite me cancelling my membership online and discussing with them over the phone. As a PhD student, the monthly membership cost was material. It's a shame - I enjoyed going to the gym. But I consider charging people for services that they decline and cannot use to be an unethical business practice, hence my 1-star rating. Try making money by selling people a valuable service that they want to pay for, not through backdoor contract terms and charges.

I attended just one class cause I was in NYC for a brief holiday. The box is not too big but seems to have everything one needs, plus the coach is very nice and welcoming, and the WOD during the class I attended was very challenging and funny. I absolutely recommend to give it a try; if I lived in New York I would definitely go there.

OH YEAH! I was new to CrossFit so I took the 6 week Challenge to see if I liked it... Well, I lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks and beat the challenge, met great people, and increased my goals on every level!! The Coaches are great, the music is good, the staff is beyond cool and the location is awesome, a block from the train. Can't wait to get back in the box. The workouts are actually fun and not as scary when you just start doing them. Surprised myself and there is plenty of motivation to do Rx, even if you modify. Thanks WillyB

Honestly, cannot recommend this place enough. I participated in the 6 week challenge, and became a member after that. the foundations and HIIT classes were a great way to ramp up. All the trainers are really nice, well-versed, great at explaining the moves, and vigilant about coming around during the classes to motivate you and make sure your form is correct. I personally am not that athletic, I don't have an athletic background but everyone at the gym was super welcoming and accommodating, great way to improve your personal fitness and i never feel more energized than when at WillyB

I came in not knowing at all what to expect! I met Chris whom with the most welcoming style proposed a 6 week challenge....6 weeks later I surpassed the goal by 5lbs!!! This gym offered a great family like environment yet competitive vibe. The classes are great, the instructors motivated and patient with all the members. There are so many classes and at multiple locations so it was great. The amenities are a plus!! I really can’t say anything bad about WillyB and I tried all the boxes multiple times so it’s the same whichever box you go to. Week 1 - 186.2 lbs and 38.1% body fat Week 6 - 156 lbs and 31.1% body fat Lost 30.2 lbs and 7% body fat !!!!

Great experience. Skilled trainers, super friendly, challenging classes, and those showers! Definitely worth a shot!

This gym is amazing! Could not be more happy with my experience at Willy B Crossfit. I joined the 6 week challenge and I was super nervous about starting. After the first class I could not wait to come back. Most of my classes were with Jeff and Mark, who were both great motivators and helpers. Whether the classes were 12 people or 2 it always felt like I got the support I needed. Super grateful for the smiles and words of encouragement especially because I am introverted. I typically came to class after work and even though it was late at night I didn’t regret coming into the gym. It was hard work!! But fun and I got to do things I never thought I could do in my fitness journey so soon. Super pumped to continue my journey on my own and use everything I learned here. Thank you so much!!

Let’s start this out by saying I don’t work out. Not since high school and college anyway. I run sometimes and I’m a kayaker. But I was never motivated to work out and join a program. Willy B CrossFit changed all of that. I did the 6 week challenge and then joined. Why? I lost a lot of weight and body fat, but I stayed for the amazing instructors and for the community. I’ve met some really good people who keep me motivated to continue my fitness goals. It’s the best balance for me the intense work out I need to actually work hard and the caring community.

I highly recommend WillyB Crossfit! If you are looking to challenge yourself, to be/stay healthy and to be part of a community that motivates each other to do well, this is the right gym for you! I joined WillyB Crossfit and did the 6-week challenge. My goal was to lose 6% body fat, which seemed impossible at the time of the orientation. But I made it, thanks to all the awesome people I've met in this gym! I had a very helpful and encouraging fitness/nutrition coach, Chris. If you do the challenge, they will assign you a coach that will guide you through the whole journey. Along with that, the fitness coaches I've met through the Foundations, Crossfit and HIIT classes who I'm so grateful for. They make sure you are doing the work out safely and with the right form, but also that you are pushing and challenging yourself. The athletes/students who work out in the gym are also very friendly, and there is a sense of community that you just want to keep coming back and get stronger with everybody. I love this gym and I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

I came in to WillyB Crossfit to take their 6 week challenge and didn't really know what to expect. It turned out to an awesome experience. I lost 6 percent of my body fat in just 3 weeks I took all my HIIT classes with Chris, he makes the classes fun and at the same time pushes you to do your best. Jeff was the person I took most of my crossfit classes and I am amazed of knowledgable he is in just about everything. He teaches you proper techniques so you won't get hurt and shows steps on how you can gradually work towards doing all exercises to the fullest. The workout are tough but so much fun. I learned to do things I never would have attempted to do on my own going to the gym. The atmosphere is great and even the other member are friendly and supportive during class. They also have a few other locations in Brooklyn.
