I started at Silk City six weeks ago, and I’ve found the perfect place for me to get, and stay, fit. Coach Jason is awesome and takes the time to show me the correct way to do things. The other members are great too and have shown me a lot of support, which really helps! It’s a simple program that only requires one thing: showing up. Simple, but not easy and that’s okay. Glad I found this place.

I’ve been a member at Silk City Fit for a year and a half, and my 12-year-old daughter participates in the CrossFit Teens program. We both absolutely love it! The coaches are positive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping every athlete improve. My 9 a.m. coach, Liza, has been incredible from day one. She’s a patient, tireless teacher who knows exactly when to challenge me and when to fine-tune my form.
Sara and Cory have created such a welcoming and motivating community that feels like home, and makes you want to show up and work hard.

Great sense of community and culture. A lot of events outside of just your normal CrossFit as well. Coaches and programming are exceptional - nothing is rushed and everything has a purpose. This is the type of gym that puts its members first. From beginner to expert, this is a gym you want to be a part of.

Recently, I had the opportunity to come spend a couple months with lifelong friends of mine (both members of Silk City Fit). Although I had been involved with sports and competition my entire life, I had never tried CrossFit before. I decided to join the gym and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! The coaches and fellow members are extremely welcoming, making me instantly feel right at home. Silk City Fit does a fantastic job of fostering an environment that promotes competition, friendship, health, community, gym safety, and pride. I could not be more happy with my experience and look forward to going to class each and every day!

After 15 years of not working out and feeling frustrated with the same routine of work, eat and sleep, I finally was convinced to give Silk City Fit a try.
From the moment I walked in I was welcomed with open arms and adjustments made to the workouts to meet my fitness level. Sara and Cory are an amazing team and the entire coaching staff are encouraging and kind.
If you are on the fence about giving it a shot, don’t be. Silk City Fit is an amazing place!

I’ve never had a better experience than I’ve had at Silk City Fit! I’m incredibly impressed with how kind everyone is. For a couple of days after my first day the coaches were following up with me outside of classes to see how I was doing, if there was anything they could do to help me, and encourage me. All the coaches are extremely kind, funny, and provide the BEST feedback. If you’re even slightly considering starting CrossFit, this is the place. Without a doubt.

Three weeks ago, I walked into Silk City as a recently 'retired' college athlete looking to fill a competitive void with little to no idea on how to approach fitness outside of soccer. Now, it is hard to imagine a morning without my new Silk City family - credit to Sara, Cory, and the rest of the staff for cultivating an environment that is so welcoming. I cannot recommend this place enough!

This is more than just a gym, its a community! Just started a couple weeks ago at Silk City. The coaches, the athletes... everyone is fantastic. Welcoming, positive and motivating. Everyone encourages you to do the best you can do, regardless of modifications needed. They really embody the philosophy that CrossFit is for everyone!

I purchased a 10 class punch card. I have attended mostly 5:30am and Saturday classes. Classes started promptly and coaches make great use of the class time, maximize time actually workout during the 1 hour. Coaches are very energetic, knowledgeable, and interactive. I travel a lot for work and get to experience many drop-ins, Silk City has been one of the better experiences.

I went for a drop in class at 10am on Saturday. It was my first time at this crossfit gym. I was immediately greeted by the owner/coach who were very friendly and welcoming. There was a good warmup focusing on the movements of the workout and mobility. The coach explained the workout, and answer all the questions we had before start the WOD. The energy, the music and the people were awesome. Also the gym is very clean too. I’ll definitely be back, and definitely recommend this gym.

Everybody at Silk City Fit makes you feel welcome and supported! I attended my first CrossFit class here and I loved it. It was amazing to have everyone motivating me throughout the whole workout and also being supervised by the coaches to make sure I was doing everything correct to not hurt myself. You won't regret meeting everyone and most importantly, get out of your comfort zone to accomplish something that sometimes we think we can't do. It's an excellent place to workout and meet new friends!

I came to Silk City having never done CrossFit and being out of most sports for years due to an injury. I couldn’t be happier with the staff, always attentive to needs and willing to help with any issues- it’s truly like having a personal trainer every day each with different specialties. There are staff dieticians that helped me fix my diet and elevate my workout experience. Every member of the gym is a smiling face and a motivational assist, making sure everyone is getting the most out of the workouts and having a good time in a positive environment- People from every skill level helping to elevate each other. I would suggest this gym to anyone with any fitness or diet goals or to someone traveling to stop in an meet some happy folks.

So grateful for my CrossFit community! Silk City Fit is a place you can call home. No matter your age, size, or skill level, you are welcomed at Silk City Fit. The owners, coaches, and members are so supportive, kind, and everyone looks out for each other.

I just started Cross Fit a few years ago and I was so happy to find out that you can truly come as you are!

Cross Fit feels like adult recess! I just did a 5:30am workout this morning and I felt ready to conquer the day afterwards - I gained lots of energy, positivity, and confidence through the workout; especially with the great community that Silk City Fit offers!

Thank you, Silk City Fit, for continuing to be a part of my fitness journey - and for being more than just a gym!

Walking into this gym for the first time, like all new places, can feel like a bit nerve racking. I stepped in and owner and coach Cory met me with a warm welcome and helped me through my first class. They pay specific attention to every individual. Silk city provides exhilarating motivation, and direct coaching. For someone like me, who is competitive, likes working on a team, loves a challenge, and feeling like part of something, this was and is the perfect fit. A year later when my schedule allowed me, I never forgot that feeling and went back to get a membership. I have been a member for over a year now and it doesn't get old. The owners and coaches celebrate holidays by throwing parties after cooking up a holiday workout. We watch the crossfit games together, and know everyone in a first name basis. The class size never exceeds more that 15 people, and there's plenty of equipment to make sure everyone has a great workout. Best workout experience of my life. Quote me lol.

Dont usually leave reviews but figured this one might help make a difference in someone's life. I've been working out all my life but hit a very dry spell since moving to Connecticut and starting a new job and life! (Pretty sure many of us have been there) I started the challenge as a way to make progress physically and emotionally. Not easy when you leave everything behind to start fresh on your own. The stress of work and just being alone can lead to serious changes in weight. I stopped fitting into all my clothes again and it just lead me to being even more upset than I was. Week 4 of being a part of the cross fit team and I can say this is the happiest I've ever been with my results. I've made progress in the past weeks that I havent seen or felt in years. After 3 weeks, my clothes are fitting me, I'm running more than I've ever run, and lifting more than I ever have! All thanks to the motivation of the coaches here. Let me tell you, I was going to bail out at first because I didn't want to make a fool out of my self. But from the very first day, the coaches here have been NOTHING but friendly and motivational to a point where it made me look forward to coming to classes. I definitely found a new direction in life and I cant thank you guys enough for restoring the confidence back in my life. Can't wait to make this a part of my life going forward. :)
