    Excellent CrossFit community - when you walk in here people will know your name and look forward to seeing you in the gym. Coaching is top notch and programming is approachable for all age ranges and abilities. Not only will you feel better and move better, but you will also learn about how to take care of your body outside of the gym.

    Great gym that is very accomdating for age, abilities and goals! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We are all athletes at AP. Tom, Sheila and Frank are the best! I work mostly with Sam and Cayleigh for Personal Training--they are knowledgeable and so encouraging! I am older and trust me--you don't need to be scared. It is for everyone!

    The best CrossFit gym in Buffalo, NY! The staff is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. The athletes here are all wonderful & welcoming people. My life truly changed for the better after starting CrossFit and I can't thank Absolute Performance enough!!

    This is far more than “just a gym.” I love the instant feeling of belonging the moment I walked through the door and met Tom. If you are looking for a program that will help you reach your goals AP is the place to go. CrossFit is said to be a community and I can definitely understand why that is said. You feel like you are part of the family.

    I have taken both a boys baseball team and girls softball team for training and both teams had a lot of fun. Some of the girls liked it enough that they wanted to continue the workouts after the team training ended. Tom and his instructors make it and challenging and fun for the teams. He also allows the coaches to work out too so they can see how much is really being done first hand.

    Great family atmosphere which makes you feel comfortable training no matter where you're starting from. I have a heart condition and the coaches took the time to learn about it so they can properly and effectively modify my workouts so i still get a great workout! They are FANTASTIC and the coaches are very knowledgeable. Recommend to any and everyone!

    Can't say enough good things about this gym! Motivating community, competent coaches, brutal (but fun!) workouts, and a group of people - coaches and members, alike - that are willing to bend over backwards to help you meet your goals. After 2 years with AP, I am still continually impressed with how much every member of this gym is willing to help me, support me, and motivate me. It is so much more than a gym, it's a family.

    I have been a member for 3 years. The best trainers. Best workouts. Best gym experience. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, encouraging and most of all - we’re all happy for everyone’s successes - no matter how big or small. If you’re looking for a gym, like meeting new people, like working out/challenging yourself...come give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!!

    I have been blessed to work with Tom and the entire AP staff for several years now. Tom has helped me transform both physically and mentally. From high school to college and post college career. The culture this place provides cannot be beat. It is something special you won’t find at any other gym. Truly a team atmosphere where everyone is there to help and push each other to new heights. No matter what skill level or background. Accountability is huge both inside and outside the gym. The coaches have a sincere passion to see all of their athletes succeed and achieve their goals. Its a privilege to train with coaches who have an immense amount of knowledge and experience. They are the best in Western New York. However I’m forever grateful for all the memories and good times here.

    I wanted to get moving again after a two-year hiatus from working out. I just completed my first week of CrossFit and I have to say the coaches at Absolute Performance are amazing! The classes are the perfect size, and there are multiple classes to accommodate almost any schedule. The coaches are great!

    Absolute Performance is the Absolute Best🤘🏽 I originally was looking for 1-on-1 training, of the usual set lifting schedule (three days a week, main lifts like bench, squat, deadlifting, etc) as that was I had been used to throughout my collegiate career. After talking with the staff here and attending an introduction class to see how it was structured, I immediately knew this was the place to be. No matter your fitness background, no matter your age, they keep you involved in your journey in a way that allows you to feel in control of how you are progressing as they challenge you. They are well versed with working around injuries(whether they are old ones flaring up or new ones sprouting), and the other members of the class are always supportive and helpful as well. I can easily say working out is not something I find myself dreading anymore in my day. It's packed full of great music, great people, and a shared experience of getting better together, no matter each members starting level. All can participate and all can be great together!

    If you’re considering trying Crossfit and feel like you’re not fit enough please schedule a tour at AP. That was me and I now wish I would’ve joined years ago. This is an amazing group of people who personalize every workout and make working out fun!!

    I’m 57 years old and not a gym person typically. I usually dread going & will more often than not talk myself out of going. I am not very confident in myself but this has become my favorite time of day. I absolutely love it. They are so encouraging, accepting and supportive with no judgment. They make you feel like you can do anything and modify the workouts to your abilities. They are like a second family. So glad my son took me to their friends & family week. I wish I knew about this great place years ago !

    When I moved back to NY from SC 6 years ago, I left my cross family behind. After years of spending time with a community that was my second home, I felt a little lost and honestly didn’t think I’d be able to find a place like that. I finally took the step 2 weeks ago and trusted my gut , took a chance, and set up an initial meeting with Tom and Frank. That day forward, I knew this is where I wanted to be. The coaching staff has made me feel comfortable, capable and powerful. The positivity illuminates in the gym. The sense of community is all inclusive and a reminder that there still are amazing people in this world in a time we need it most.

    My son recently turned 13, is in 8th grade, and had never worked out before. He played modified football this year and started, but he isn't ready to play JV. After just one month with Tom and his team, we have seen significant improvement in his athletic performance. He nearly doubled his vertical jump, increased his broad jump, and decreased his times on the 10/20 yard dashes and 15 yard agility drill. The program is age-appropriate and challenging to get results, but also fun and keeps him engaged. It has only been one month, but I highly recommend AP to anyone looking to help their high school athlete.

    I highly recommend Absolute Performance! The community is super friendly and welcoming, and the trainers have been amazing in helping me start smoothly. The staff is not only knowledgeable, but they also ensure you understand every aspect of your training. I can genuinely say that it's the highlight of my day, and despite being group classes, they follow up on everyone's progress individually. With my history of injuries, they make sure to adjust the workouts, allowing me to get the most out of each session. Overall, this place is great for ALL ages!
