CrossFit City Line is the second box that I have belonged to since starting CrossFit in 2017. I came to City Line after a 10-month hiatus due to COVID shutting down my old box, and sustaining a sprained ankle and foot injury while running that put me in a compression boot. After the boot came off, I was hesitant to get back in the game. A good friend of mine encouraged me to join CFCL. He spoke highly of the coaching and knowledge that's in-house. I'm not a natural athlete. In my mid-forties, I came to take my fitness more seriously. The coaches were all well aware of my injury from day one. They kept me in my lane with scaled exercises as I slowly regained my strength and fully rehabbed my leg. Within a few months, I was back to running and doing box jumps. CrossFit City Line has been the perfect spot for me because I can work out alongside some true athletes and continue to challenge myself. It's no frills, no egos, and a very supportive community of coaches and classmates who want to take better care of themselves. Even on the days when I dread the workouts, I’m happy and thankful to be there.

I came to City Line five years ago on the advice of my physical therapist who said it was the best CrossFit gym in the area. Now that I’m here, I can’t imagine a better place! If you’re a beginner, you can’t be any more so than I was: the kid who was always last to be picked in gym class but now just older! I had only run to keep in shape and hadn’t recently. I’m here to assure you that if CFCL coaches could bring me along, they can coach anyone! Seriously, CrossFit may have a reputation as intense, but what I’ve found intense here – beyond the friendly welcome - is an emphasis on learning how to exercise with proper technique. I feel safe. The coaches are excellent at teaching how to lift and carry out gymnastic moves. Even in a class of more than a dozen, they watch carefully and give individual advice. I’ve been amazed how often they notice something and have just the piece of advice that allows me to make a correction. They listen to my questions, encourage me to listen to my body (something new for me and important since it recovers more slowly now), and have modifications when I need them. If you are a seasoned athlete, rest assured you will have plenty of company doing handstand push-ups and lifting a barbell that bends under the weight you put on it! The coaches also set the tone for building real community, wherever any of us are in our health and fitness journey, and even during my year of taking the Zoom class option. Classmates are helpful and friendly! At first, I was intimidated by the top athletes, but that was short-lived because they reach out with encouragement just as often as anyone else. It doesn’t matter that I’m lifting less or getting in fewer rounds, I feel like I belong. That feeling of belonging has helped me come in and work my hardest at each WOD. When I first started, the warm-up felt like a workout in itself … I have loved feeling like my body can do more now than ever before!

I started my CrossFit journey by attending "bring a friend" day at CFCL. Little did I know that I would fall in love with both CrossFit as well as CFCL. The programming is fantastic whether you go every day, a couple times a week, or just as a drop in. The coaches are so good at scaling and modifying movements to accommodate for any injuries or fitness levels. They provide clear and consistent instructions during class and great tips on form during WODs. It's also a very welcoming and friendly community of athletes and you can always find a friend in class or someone to do something with outside of class if that's what you're looking for. They also hold extra events to focus on specific skills, build community, or address specific fitness needs. By going to CFCL over the past 4 years I've gained muscle, lost weight, built cardio endurance and have become an all-around better person! Basically I can't say enough good things about CFCL and would encourage anyone who is remotely interested to give it a try - you won't be sorry!

When my fiance and I wanted to start CrossFit, we decided to try as many gyms around the Newton/Watertown area as we could find. While there are a lot of good gyms in the area, this one was the best. The coaches are friendly and attentive, and you really get the sense that they're invested in your success. The facility is large and well-organized with plenty of equipment. The other folks in the classes are great, and there's a real sense of community. We've been going for over a year now, and we've both seen a lot of improvement in our strength and endurance. We feel motivated to work hard in the classes and to keep coming back. The classes are larger than they might be at other gyms, but the coaches are able to handle it while still giving everyone individual attention. They're great about offering scaling options for everyone and accommodating people with injuries. We are very happy with this gym and intend to keep going here as long as possible.

This place is 5 out of 5. If I could give it more stars I would. CrossFit can be intimidating but the staff here is extremely welcoming and warm. They will correct you if your form needs adjustments and will really encourage you throughout the class. I loved the culture where you have a circuit and if you finish earlier than your peers you cheer them on until they finish. I also want to give a special shout out to Coach Laurel who introduced me in the beginning of class to give me a warm welcome. She remembered that I was visiting from Long Beach and was here for the week in Boston and traveling to Vermont. I highly recommend to anyone who is interested in CrossFit. I loved it so much I even bought a t-shirt.

I joined City Line 6(!) years ago, and I genuinely mean it when I say it was one of the top 3 best life decisions I've ever made. I was so intimidated when I first started as I didn't have a background playing sports, but I knew I wanted to maintain the active lifestyle I'd built over time and wanted to learn more about weightlifting. I'd become bored with the "regular" gym, and I wanted to learn more from experienced coaches about proper form and mechanics. I was also seeking a gym or coach that could provide programming as I knew that cobbling something together on my own wasn't going to get me very far. I'm still here six years later because I've experienced all of these things and so much more. The coaches at City Line care about their athletes and each member's goals, growth, and wellness, and they consistently provide helpful movement cues, instruction, and modifications. I've seen and experienced steady, consistent progress throughout the years I've been a member, and it's thanks largely to such mindful coaching. I've also done numerous personal training sessions and have always walked away having had a TON of fun *and* with steps for how to work toward the next level of a movement. And the cherry on top of all of this has been meeting so many great people and building friendships with other members who care about investing in themself and genuinely cheer on others in the process. I've learned so much about myself and grown so much thanks to City Line! If you're looking for a great workout no matter your fitness experience or background, you've found that place. Prepare to experience that and so much more!

I can't say enough great things about City Line! I debated a while with which box in the area I wanted to go after moving from PA to MA. The location is perfect. It's 15 minutes from home and 15 minutes from work. There's a true sense of community the minute you walk into the building. The facility is large and always clean. I was impressed by the size of the box as soon as I walked in. I've never seen a box as nice as this location. The staff is knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive. I recommend City Line to everyone!

CrossFit Cityline was such a gem to find and I can’t say enough good things about it. The community and coaches are all extremely welcoming. From the moment you step foot inside everyone is friendly. On top of that, the space is outstanding. It is spacious and has all of the equipment you would expect from a CrossFit and then some. If you are looking for great coaches, classes and a great community, I highly recommend stopping in.

We love this gym! My kid was lucky enough to have Kenny as his coach in the junior program. Kenny is masterful at making workouts fun and effective. It was impressive how much time and care he put into teaching the kids the proper techniques and fundamentals. The culture in this gym could not be more warm, encouraging and welcoming to people of any experience level. Great gym!!!

Excellent gym for anyone [un]knowingly making excuses to not go to the gym. It can be difficult getting to the gym, but City Line's flexible schedule, tough workouts, and supportive members and staff make it all worth it. Coaches are very knowledgeable in all aspects of weightlifting, CrossFit movements, and nutrition. The coaches maintain a very clean, organized, safe, well-equipped, and fun facility and environment. If you're looking to improve your fitness regardless of your current abilities, I would highly recommend swinging by City Line.

I can’t say enough great things about CrossFit City Line. I’ve been doing CrossFit for four years and have never experienced a gym quite like this one. The staff truly care about each and every person who walks into the gym. The classes are organized and structured to make the most of your time. The facility is spacious and clean, with updated and well kept equipment. The coaches are very knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions or give extra help. They make it easy for everyone to participate at a capacity they are comfortable with, but are always encouraging you to push yourself to do your best. I am currently 6 months into my pregnancy and the coaches have been immensely supportive, checking in before, during, and after class. They give advice and make available the proper modifications for my changing needs. From great CrossFit programming, to enthusiastic coaches and a friendly community atmosphere, the experience is nothing but pleasant and fun. With fitness and health at the forefront, the owners and staff are dedicated to helping those who walk in, walk out a little better. It has become my home away from home and I strongly recommend stopping in to see for yourselves, you’ll be hooked!

Crossfit City Line is amazing. I have been attending classes there for the last 5 years on and off through college and I could not be happier. The coaching staff is amazing and keep you motivated and accountable for your health and fitness. The community is great as well, you always feel welcomed and included. As someone who does not enjoy working out much, and finds it hard to stay motivated at a traditional gym, Crossfit City Line is the perfect place that I actually enjoy going and getting a workout in. Highly recommend!
