The instructors are kind, genuine and helpful, especially if you are just getting into this style of workouts.

The people that workout here and the community that this place builds is extremely friendly and welcoming, which is not the case in many group/studio classes I’ve attended.

Facility is nice, equipment is well cared for.

Workouts are killer in the best way.

Great coaches and challenging workouts. I haven't worked out this hard in a CrossFit class in years. Within just two weeks I already see my body changing with positive gains!

PHL is a fantastic place to get in great shape. We train for everyday functional fitness, CrossFit competitions, triathlons, running, and Olympic lifting. I typically do their CrossFit / strength and conditioning workouts. I also use their boot camp classes when I feel I need that style work. I swim sometimes at the pool on 8th n Reed as well. The people are always friendly. The owners are the best. The coaches are always prepared and ready to help. You can’t go wrong joining the PHL family!

I wouldn't recommend this gym if you are African American the culture of this gym is NOT welcoming. The 1st instructor for the 1st class ignored me most of the time, but in his defense he also stood around not interacting with any other student for the majority of the class. The other students were all regulars and experienced so I wasn't sure if perhaps I came on an off night or what and we had a pleasant conversation AFTER the class concluded. So I decided to give the gym another chance. During my 2nd class with the 2nd instructor, about 10 seconds before the class was about to start, the 2nd Instructor said to me "Are you okay" that was the only thing he said to me during the entire class. To figure out what was going to happen, I spoke to the other students in the class who were again regulars and experienced. If I hadn't then I wouldn't have known what to do (i.e., grab some weights, go to a station, grab a box for your station) until 10 seconds before the series was to begin--I know the seconds because the instructor started the countdown clock). There was plenty of time before the clock started for the Instructor to speak to me, he simply decided to ignore my presence. The final straw came during the 3rd class with the 2nd instructor when 30 minutes into the class the instructor still had not spoken to me. He only spoke to me after I abandoned my attempt to work out--I left the rack, walked to the locker space, dressed in my jacket, hat, gloves, etc. and turned to walk out. Then, he finally approached me and wanted to talk. During our discussion he told me that he thought I looked okay. This class was supposed to be a partner class and I didn't have a partner (but I guess I looked okay), I didn't know you were supposed to warm up on your own doing the warm up on the white board (the last class was not like that) so I stood around thinking the class hadn't started yet (but I guess I looked okay), after warm up he said to the entire class that it was a partner class (I didn't have a partner but I guess I looked okay) and that you were supposed to choose a weight based on your progress over some previous classes (he had been my instructor twice so he was well aware I was new, but I guess I looked okay), I stood around at the rack not doing anything for 20 minutes waiting for him to approach me and offer some guidance (but I guess I looked okay). He spent his time (before I walked out after 20 minutes into the workout) helping the other newbie (who was not African American) and providing guidance to the other experienced students that had injuries who also were not African American. Again, this is not a safe or welcoming space for non-white attendees.

This gym is filled with inconsiderate people. They yell at each other up and down the sidewalk at six o'clock in the morning. About half a dozen of them ran past me without masks, almost close enough to bump shoulders with me. There's really not enough room to social distance on the narrow sidewalks, so it's worrisome that they won't wear masks. Also one of the members threw up on my porch. When my sister went to see if he was ok, he just bolted like a frightened deer.

Great facility, equipment and workout areas are very clean. I feel comfortable working out here since Covid because everyone sanatizes their equipment before returning it. Workout programs are very effective. I've noticed Great gains and endurance since I joined. Trainers are unbelievable and help you with anything you need. I like the bootcamp classes. I also like strength/conditioning-AKA "crossfit"

I've been a member at this gym for about 3 years now. I am going to use the cliché Google review statement of "If I could give more than 5 stars I would". However, I say that because its entirely true!
The coaches sincerely care about you and what your goals are. My goals are not necessarily in CrossFit, but all the work I put in at the gym makes me 110% ready for the competitions I do outside the gym.
It's a family atmosphere. Hands down. I moved out of the city and I STILL go here. I wouldn't go to any other gym because I sincerely believe PHL has the best CrossFit experience one could ask for any level of fitness.

I had a 1-on-1 session with coach Jack Brennan. He was clearly very knowledgeable on a variety of different exercises and offered incredible support. He did a great job of pushing me and kept me engaged throughout the session. It was a great balanced/organized workout -- can't wait to get back there.

Great community & excellent coaches! The new facility is great : lots of space for larger classes, bathrooms with showers in cade you need to get to work right away. The training program is challenging, but the coaches work with you if you need to modify any movements.
