The team at PFT are amazing. I joined with a specific goal to compete in a competition. I started from nothing but basic Dad strength, and PFT turned me into something I never fathomed possible. I have muscles I didn't know existed. The team encouraged me along the way, knew how and when to push in order for me to achieve my goals, all in a no nonsense environment.

This review is 5 years overdue… I started my CrossFit journey at PFT. The coaches are incredibly supportive and always willing to tailor movements so you can participate and grow, no matter where you’re starting from (I started with zero athletic background).
I initially joined to lose a little weight, but as I got stronger and fitter, my entire mindset shifted. I’ve learned to appreciate what my body can do, and I feel so much better about myself mentally. The gym is amazing community to be part of!

PFT is a great gym and has a wonderful community. I'm updating my review, as I have been working out there for over 4 years now. All of the coaches are amazing, and will work with you to meet your goals. I've been working on building muscle and strength and my progress with PFT has been great...way better than walking with a weighted vest for sure :). As my kids are getting older, they have also gotten a ton of support in learning how to work out and how to lift properly. There really is no downside!

I have been a member of PFT for 9 years. My previous CF gym had closed and I was looking for a gym that not only had great programming but also a close community. PFT did not disappoint! I can truly say that the best part of my day is being at PFT - even on the days I really don’t want to work out. I’m 46 years old and am in better shape than I was at 26, and PFT has played a major role in that! The programming is so well planned. The coaching is detailed and tailored to your needs. The community is supportive, outgoing and fun. I love PFT!

This place is great. The coaches are all very knowledgeable and welcoming and there is a strong sense of community. Recognizing me as “the new guy”, multiple long time members went out of their way to welcome me and help me feel comfortable. Coming up on two months I’m definitely experiencing the physical and mental benefits of exercising regularly again. 10/10 recommend.

I’ve been going to PFT for a little over two months now, and I honestly wish I had joined sooner. I absolutely love the classes — they’re both challenging and incredibly rewarding. I always leave feeling stronger and more energized.
The instructors are fantastic. They’re not only super friendly, but they also go out of their way to make sure you’re doing the movements safely and correctly. You can tell they genuinely care about your progress and want to see everyone succeed.
The community at PFT has also been a huge plus. Everyone I've met has been welcoming and supportive, which makes the experience even better.
I’m really happy I joined and would absolutely recommend PFT to anyone looking for a fun, motivating, and results-driven gym!

Dropped in twice at Performance Factory Training while visiting family and was throughly impressed. I joined their Strength & Conditioning classes with Josh coaching — he’s personable, professional, and brings excellent knowledge and energy. His coaching was spot-on, with clear guidance throughout the workout and thoughtful modifications that made it accessible and effective for every fitness level. Several members and other coaches introduced themselves, making me feel instantly welcome. The workouts were challenging yet adaptable, the facility spotless and well-equipped, and the atmosphere truly inclusive. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend dropping in — you’ll leave stronger and glad you came. Thanks PFT!!!

I’m about a month in and it’s been good so far. I have never done cross fit before but all of the coaches are super helpful with form. I tried going to the gym on my own but I couldn’t keep myself accountable. PFT keeps me accountable and there’s enough variety in each workout that I don’t get bored. Definitely would refer friends to this gym.

I've been part of the PFT family for over 13 years, and I can say without hesitation that this place Is a second family. The sense of community is incredible—welcoming, supportive, and always pushing each other to be better. It's not just about the workouts (though the programming is top-notch and consistently challenging); it's about the people.
The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and truly care about your progress and well-being. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, you're treated like family from day one.
After all these years, PFT still motivates me to show up, work hard, and stay connected to an amazing group of people. I couldn't imagine training anywhere else.

Love this gym. I weighed 252 after COVID, lost about 20lbs on my own but couldn’t really get beyond that. So I joined PFT. After a year of going consistently I dropped from around 230 to 186 and I have a six pack. Coaches are fantastic. They guided me through multiple injuries (I’m 49) to make sure I could keep training safely when I wasn’t at my best. This isn’t your typical gym where you sign up and then you’re left to your own devices. Coaches are always there to help. Best decision I ever made.

Have had an outstanding relationship with Josh Tooley at PFI. He understands my physical limitations from medical issues and age and he’s kept me motivated without pushing to aggressively in my exercise sessions . He’s patient and encouraging , not demanding.

One of my first priorities after moving to the area was to find a gym, and PFT was on a list of several I planned to check out. The intention was to drop in to each and make a decision after a couple weeks. PFT was the first one I tried, but by the end of the first workout my search was complete. Highly recommend this place for many reasons: great coaching and programming, clean and very well taken care of facility and equipment, and of course most importantly, great people.

Love this place! Cannot recommend it enough!
I started doing CrossFIt at Performance Factory two years ago with my college aged son. We had both gained a lot of weight during Covid and wanted to get in shape (mentally and physically).
I was concerned about doing proper form and not getting hurt by overdoing it. The owners and trainers at PFT are very skilled and knowledgeable (and very funny and enthusiastic). They make sure all of their members are well taken care of!
I am 64 years old and my balance and strength and stamina have greatly improved. This is an Excellent gym/CrossFIt! Definitely come in and give it a go, you will gain confidence and a better outlook on life!

I’ve been a member at PFT since 2017 and we all know that going to a new gym (or place) can be intimidating, but not at PFT! All the members and coaches are kind and welcoming! The coaches pay attention to how you move and offer fantastic advise and suggestions to improve your lifting and/or movements. I’ve heard nothing but great things about the personal coaching offered, but haven’t done that myself, as I prefer group classes right now. The programming is more focused on fundamental functional movements that help no matter what age you are. I highly recommend checking PFT out if you’re looking to get movement in and gaining great friends!!

10 years ago I started working out at this gym having never done any weightlifting or total body workouts in my life. I also had been recently diagnosed with fatty liver disease. I had the liver of a morbidly obese person, although I was only mildly overweight. The coaches have given me the guidance and the community has helped me keep my drive for working out so that today I continue keeping myself healthy and my liver enzymes well within the normal range and functioning like a normal person’s with no medication - just good old-fashioned diet and exercise. I have also found strength that I never new I had, which has been a nice surprise and a testament to their methodical programming.

I have been going to PFT CrossFit gym, off and on, for over ten years now - life gets in the way sometimes and I have had to step away from time to time - but I ALWAYS come back.
I've tried other things/gyms in-between but nothing gives me the workout, the community and the energy that PFT does.
The coaches care about the members and make everyone feel like family and friends, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They are extremely knowledgeable in so many areas while consistently adapting and expanding their program to keep up with the standards in the industry and new fitness trends.
I've watched them grow from a grassroots gym with the basic CF offerings to a solid community of diverse classes and knowledge plus an awesome social network in the gym and online. It's great to be a part of a place that has friendly competition among it's peers, and encourages you to keep trying and to keep showing up no matter your age or skill/fitness level. It's a family feeling and I love it.

I was really nervous to stop in because I haven't consistently worked out in 8 years. I'm 30 lbs heavier than I was in my prime. I've had two kids and pelvic floor therapy. I'm tired, a lot. But Josh and Brian were incredibly hospitable, patient, helpful, and guiding - I felt like I was being encouraged and led by my brothers and their cool/low key/down to earth friends in high school. The cross fit workouts were challenging, but didn't kill me. Each workout is modified for strength. I was only sore after the first 1-2 classes. The pace is slow, compared to what I expected! Carrying two children and keeping up with house chores while running and racing around at home, etc was adequate preparation. I truly encourage anyone - especially mom's and older women - to take the chance and do something for yourself by visiting PFT. If this isnt enough to get you there, I just want to add that the people who work out there were so kind and encouraging to me as a rookie. I never felt looked down upon or left out. Im really excited to continue my journey toward health at PFT.

I’ve been a member of PFT for 4 years and very happy with the progress I’ve made and community I’ve joined. There are lots of options available depending on abilities and what you are comfortable with, and the events they have throughout the year are great at bringing everyone together for a great workout, a fun time or both!

PFT is one of the best gyms I’ve been a part of. I started going when I lived 10 minutes away. I now live 30 min away and still make the trip. It’s that hard to leave! Their CrossFit program in particular changed my life. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive. The workouts are challenging and therapeutic. The coaches are helpful and encouraging. If you want an atmosphere to foster your physical and mental growth then this is the gym to join!

I absolutely love PFT! The coaches are amazing. I started at PFT with absolutely zero knowledge of Olympic lifting. All the coaches took the time to teach me; they had incredible patience. I love it so much I decided to start personal training with Coach Zues. That community of athletes are also amazing. They are not hipsters, but rather super kind, welcoming, and supportive. I highly recommend PFT!!

I like this place. I’ve been to other CrossFit gyms in the north shore and I found that a lot of coaches would just chat or text during the workout. The coaches here pay attention to you, know what they’re talking about, also their dogs are nice.

I've dropped in twice s at PFT and definitely recommend it. Both times I've had Coach Brian for class, who is friendly and knowledgeable about how to move correctly. The facility is nice with plenty of room and all the equipment you would want.

The best gym in the area. Coaches/owners are HIGHLY skilled at what they do, and at maximizing everyone's strength and cardio potential. Have met a lot of great people here. Fun competitions and social events. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get serious about fitness and nutrition....while having a good time.

I can't say anything negative about PFT! I first started working out here in 2016, due to some other commitments, I stopped going for almost 2 years. Upon my return, the coaches all welcomed me back with open arms and pushed me harder than I ever could on my own. All of the coaches are super personable and take the time to answer questions you have. I always appreciate when they correct my form so I can get the most out of the workouts. I genuinely look forward to going to the bootcamp classes they offer because they are tough and you feel so accomplished after! If you're looking for a workout and team of coaches that pushes you and has great camaraderie, then look no further than PFT!

This is an excellent sized gym with plenty of space. I'm a taller man so I was happy to see so many pull up bars at a friendly height to also do muscle ups on. Highly recommended!
