CrossFit Manayunk

I have had an awesome opportunity to visit CrossFit Manayunk twice: 8/2016 and 4/2019. I’ve always been welcomed kindly by the coaches and owner. I’m an athlete that requires scaling and the guidance the coaches provide is outstanding. Additionally I always walk away learning something new!

When I started CrossFit three months ago, I didn't know much about it. I thought it was glorified boot camp classes. I was so wrong. I emailed one of the coaches about an introductory session and heard back immediately. From the first day that I started, I knew that I had come to the right place. There's great energy here that only comes from people who are both passionate about their training and have a great attitude. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, the support is there. I've learned so much about CrossFit from the coaches and they have been excellent, patient teachers. When I started the program, I wanted to shed the extra fat that had been creeping on over the past few years despite regular running and cycling. It's only been three months, but I'm seeing great results. I'm leaner and stronger. I have new fitness goals because the people here have motivated me to reach higher. Manayunk Athletics feels like family and I can't imagine training anywhere else.

My husband and I joined CFMY about 6 months ago and it has quickly become our second home. You can find us there almost every night of the week - even if we’re not working out! The community is so friendly and supportive and the coaches are the best Philly has to offer. They really listen to each athletes goals and put in the time to help you achieve them. After going to a bunch of CrossFit gyms in the area, it was obvious that CFMY was the best place to be for not only the programming but the people as well. 10/10 would recommend!

I started going to CrossFit Manayunk almost a year ago. Before joining, I tried a few different CrossFit gyms in the area but this one truly feels like home. Not only do they offer customized programming and workouts tailored to your level, the community is amazing! Everyone is so supportive and encouraging- and not just when it comes to CrossFit. I’ve made some great friends while getting fitter- that’s a win win!

Seriously one of the best gyms I’ve been to! The community is so supportive and welcoming and helps each other through all the tough workouts! The owner Dave and his coaches really take pride in paying attention to everyone’s needs and abilities as they make sure you get a great workout no matter your skill level! The programming is just plain awesome and will always leave you feeling so accomplished once you’ve finished! A great space that never takes themselves too seriously and always makes sure everyone is having fun!

There aren’t many things I can say that others haven’t already said. This place is an amazing and supportive atmosphere where you can reach your fitness goals. My short time here has come with so much progress that I only regret not having started sooner. Prior to joining I was doing standard dieting and cardio with some weights in between and I have not progressed nearly as much as I have in the 3 months at CrossFit Manayunk. The workouts are challenging and effective. The coaching is phenomenal and help you scale to your level. Class options are great. And the community is super supportive.

I joined CFMY a little over a year and a half ago and it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The coaches here are second-to-none and have helped me to be the strongest I've ever been! In addition to the amazing coaches and programming, you'll find an awesome community here as well. Everyone is so welcoming and willing to help no matter who you are. If you're on the fence about joining, don't be, you'll be in capable hands!

I came to Manayunk Athletics as a total beginner to CrossFit. The gym, the coaches, and the members are what made me fall in love with CrossFit and the CrossFit community. They always pushed me to my limits and made me want to strive to be my best self. I was so sad to have moved and left this CrossFit family but I am forever grateful to Dave, and all of the coaches, for changing the way I look at fitness. Join this gym! You won’t regret it!

I have never been to a Crossfit box that has pushed me both mentally and physically as much as Manayunk Athletics. Our coaches are incredible at meeting people where they at with respect to fitness level and making them better athletes at an astounding rate. We are a huge family and super serious about fitness but still so silly and fun! I can definitely say I've had both some of the best workouts and the best laughs of my life here. It's definitely like a second home.

I've had a great experience with Manayunk Athletics/ Crossfit Manayunk. I started from absolute zero workout experience and with the help of the coaches there have gotten to a more comfortable level over the past couple of months since I started. The coaches are great to every level of participant, can help with every exercise motion regardless of how well you can perform it. The gym is full of other athletes willing to help newer people such as myself with whatever I could ask about, and are friendly and helpful. A lot of the exercises stressed here can be tough for someone who hasn't done them before, but with practice in class and out of class I've seen significant improvement with double unders, all forms of barbell work, and technical lifting. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in town, or anyone out of town looking to check it out, it really is a great atmosphere that is hard to come by.
