I contacted Factory Athletics to ask if my wife and I could try some of their equipment while we considered a membership. They were courteous and accommodating. When we arrived Mike showed us around and answered all our questions. They seem like a top-notch facility!

I've been at Factory Athletics for about a month. While working out is not new to me, CrossFit is. Any concerns that I had about joining a CrossFit gym were eased the moment I asked for a tour. During the tour, Lindsey and Mike spent over an hour with me, responding to all of my questions and concerns. I enjoy the workouts and in the month that I have been participating, I have noticed that my strength and endurance have improved. I'm able to access, on average, about 65-70% of the prescribed workout but I also believe I am benefiting form each workout. I've worked with a variety of the coaches (Mike, Ellie, Brandon) and they all provide me alternatives to the either the volume of work or types of movement when I request it, in order to accommodate my current body mechanics and limitations. Coaches also provide specific feedback on the Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics, both of which are new to me. While most, if not all, of the athletes participating in the workouts are stronger than I am, I find the clientele to be welcoming, inviting, and encouraging. Each of the coaches works with me to ensure that I get the most from each workout.

Factory Athletics and Wellness offers it all from CrossFit to the Fitness Center to Pound and Zumba there is something for everyone. The coaches are very knowledgeable and will make modifications to the workout if needed. The members are very supportive and will cheer you on until you finish the workout. I have been a member for 6 1/2 years and this is the best gym that I have been a part of.

Would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the southington area. Whether youβve never lifted a weight in your life or have been working out for years, CrossFit will push your fitness to the next level. Aside from having the best equipment and always being squeaky clean, their staff and community is truly unmatched. The owners and coaches have been treating my wife and I like family since day one.

This is by far my favorite gym in all the places I have frequented throughout the years. The community moves the bar so much higher than could possibly be met easily, elsewhere. If you go here for workouts you will have accountability, friendly faces, fist bumps, your name known throughout by all the coaches, and, yes, you will be in the best shape of your life. Everyone genuinely cares and it is such an amazing family! Go here!!

I came to Factory Athletics a little over a year ago because I was doing HIIT classes and wanted something a little more challenging, and Iβm glad I did! The owners and coaches, Mike and Mike are knowledgeable, passionate, and motivating. The classes are challenging, but the coaches will meet you where you are, ensuring you always feel capable of achieving your goals. I highly recommend this gym if you want to be in the best shape of your life, be part of a supportive and encouraging group of men and women, or if you want to maintain your fitness level and be part of a welcoming fitness community.

Simply put, the BEST. Coming from basically no background in working out, everything from the on-ramp course with Lindsey and Mike to the now day to day CrossFit classes with all of the coaches, has been best experience. The coaches truly care and take the time to explain/teach. The community here is unparalleled and truly welcoming! All thanks to Factory, I have fallen in love with working out! If youβre thinking about joining, do it!!! 100/10 recommend and wish I did it sooner!

Factory Athletics is the best community I have ever been a part of. I do their CrossFit classes 5x a week and have fallen in love with it. Having never done CrossFit before joining, I was timid to begin with. Once I did my first class, I was hooked. The coaches are encouraging, patient and understanding. Equipment is well maintained and the gym is kept clean. I recommend this gym to anyone and everyone looking to try somewhere new. I love my Factory Family!

Factory athletics is an amazing gym and community! I joined the gym about 3 years ago not having ever really done true CrossFit but the coaches and members are so welcoming and work with you for any workout modifications needed. The equipment at the gym is great and allows you to meet your workout goals. 10 out of 10 recommend this gym to anyone in the market for a new place to continue or start their fitness journey!

Imagine a place where you can walk in and get greeted with a smile and someone who knows your name. Thereβs always a decorative seasonal tree for every occasion. The workouts are intense but everyone there from the owners, coaches and members are helpful, friendly and want to help you be successful. I highly recommend checking into this wonderful crossfit/gym.

I joined this CrossFit gym last year and have enjoyed every minute of it. Lovely people, great community, ongoing community events. Personally, the summer BBQs are the best. Members are very engaged. Great mix of competitors and people that just want to get a workout in. Truly a big part of my life.

I came as a drop-in for a few days and felt very welcomed and integrated during my time at FA. I will most definitely be coming back here when I come back to town - it's hard to find a crossfit gym that is accessible and approachable, especially to drop-ins. The hours are great, and though I didn't get a chance to participate in their olympic lifting class - I have a feeling based on the direction of the coaches during their Xfit classes that it is well-organized and informative. This is a crossfit gym with solid programming, helpful coaches, responsive management, and great resources for its members. In addition to offering tons of classes and a wide open gym window, this box has so much space and equipment for its members to pursue fitness in how every way they want to. In addition to the main crossfit space, which is spacious and full of good quality equipment, there is a whole other end of the building that splits into both a cardio machine center and weightlifting hub (in addition to the stationary bikes, ergs, dumbbells, barbells, etc. provided in the main crossfit space).

I am new to crossfit and i was intimidated to join crossfit, but I found this place and I couldn't have found a better place for me. From day one I felt welcome. The owners and coaches are motivating and encouraging and also making sure that I am using proper form. It is a very positive environment and I am looking forward to taking my fitness to the next level. I truly found my crossfit home here.

I live in Chicago and my family lives in Meriden, Connecticut. I come every summer to see my family and one of my friends is a member at Factory Athletics. The owner allowed my wife and I to join for the week and even extended our week a couple extra days. The owner and the members along with the coaches are fantastic. The owner would come over after each class I was there to say hello and chit chat with me. He even gave my wife and I recommendations for things to do for our visit at Block Island. When we come back next summer my wife and I will come back to Factory Athletics mainly for the great ownership, great coaches, and wonderful people at the gym. Thank-you for opening your doors to my wife and I! Shout out to Mark Mooney our friend for recommending us your gym and especially Bobby Vargo the owner! for opening up your gym to us

The application to the United States Military Academy consists of three parts: academics, leadership, and the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA). This assessment consists of push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, a basketball throw, a shuttle run, and a 1 mile run. Out of each applicant who takes the CFA, almost 50% fail. In January of 2017, I met with Mr. Bobby Vargo at CrossFit Factory Square to discuss training for the CFA and took a baseline assessment. At this time, I was able to do 3 pullups, 25 pushups, and 40 situps. Over the next 6 months, Mr. Vargo and his team of coaches helped to mentor and train me to not only pass this exam, but to excel at it. Mr. Vargo also aided me to improve my diet, which led to a notable improvement in my daily attitude and my academics. Mr. Vargo, his team, and the CrossFit community helped push me beyond what I thought I was capable of, so that when June came and I took my CFA, I nearly tripled my score baseline in almost every event, reaching 11 pullups, 54 pushups, and 95 situps. On January 21st of 2018, I accepted my appointment to USMA. Without the help of Mr. Vargo and CrossFit Factory Square, I can confidently say that I would not be where I am today, and if I could go back in time, I would have joined CrossFit long before I did.

How many gyms can you walk into where you have a handful of coaches willing to work technique with you, even if they're "off duty"? I am so thankful for our coaches at CrossFit Factory Square. Despite what Crossfit critics say, these guys are proof that proper form is #1 and they're willing to spend their own time helping all of us out. Thanks Mike, Tony, Bobby and James! I'm determined to improve my row time!

There are few things I look forward to more during my day then the time I get to spend at Factory Square. The owners and coaches are the best around. The care and respect that each of them has for every individual is what makes this place special. I can't imagine too many places that has a community like this. Its why I go and why I push myself more than I thought I ever could.
