Really liked today’s session — it was hard though it looked simple . The mix of push ups and running was exhausting . I liked how coach Nick helps customize the workout based on an individual capability but always push to do more. He kept the energy up the whole time.
My legs are dead 😀but I actually had a lot of fun — great class!

It's only been a few months but since day one I've been loving CFA! I'm not new to Crossfit workouts but what a difference great coaching makes! Coach/owner John and Coach Kristen spend quality time on the workout description and goals and most importantly, spend lots of time on the movement progressions. The coaches break down the movements into smaller components, slowly and safely warming us up and practicing correct form. Fun environment, friendly members.

Terrific coaches and fun atmosphere. I have learned so much since I started taking classes here! I feel energized and motivated to keep going. As a 55 yr old female who can get intimidated with trying new things, the coaches here know exactly how to modify exercises when necessary but to also encourage you along your journey. If you are thinking of trying CrossFit, come to CrossFit Ares!!!! Update as of Aug 12 2025- still at it and love the instruction and community at CFA!

My experience at CrossFit Ares when I first walked through the door I didn’t know what to expect I wasn’t one to exercise I started to do the classes and found the coaches to be extremely supportive seeing I have MS and arthritis. I have been going now for three years and my arthritis pain has subsided my bone density went up 2% and my balance and all with the MS has improved. The community and coaches I couldn’t asked for more helpful and friendly people.

Coach Kyle customizes a plan for you and ensures you perform each movement as it is meant to be while educating you why these movements promote life's movements. As you expect, he is tough, like a typical coach would be, pushing you to be your best, but Kyle has an amazing persona motivating you to come back for more. Although he empathizes as you discuss what's ailing you, he doesn't dwell on them, and encourages you to move through them with the remark, "we can fix that." If you don't have the opportunity to work with Coach Kyle, you are truly missing out.

CFA is the best gym I’ve ever been part of! I joined about three years ago but took some time away when I was pregnant with my first baby. However, as soon as she was born I was itching to get back and join Coach Johns Fitness Through Motherhood (ftm) program! It runs over 6 weeks, babies are certainly welcome and workouts are designed specifically to support us as we recover postpartum, with coaches who are eager to help you adapt the workout as you need. I can’t praise this program enough! It’s a great workout, great coaches, and great people.

It’s a really good gym and a lot of great members. I visited after a few years being away and here is what I realize:

1. The space is still pretty neat and clean with plenty of parking.
2. Coaches are still attentive.
3. Everyone participating in class is honestly trying to build a healthy lifestyle.
4. If you don’t know what to do for a workout, come here and take a class. There is a workout of the day that you get to do with everyone with the supervision of a coach.

I am out of shape so it’s great to be with people getting a workout done and wanting better for themself.

Always great! Can’t remember a bad class to be honest. Something that really helped me early on and still reinforces me today is just knowing that some of the movements are hard even for the coaches. I really appreciate that Kristin will demonstrate movements that she is not a superstar in as it reminds me “yeah that is hard” and also shows the camaraderie and humility of our coaches to not be perfect or the best at everything all the time

I joined this CrossFit Ares a year ago after not working out for a long time, and it’s been a game changer. Coach John and his team prioritize health, nutrition, and movement. They have workouts adjusted to your ability, ensuring you still move and improve. The coaches provide world-class instruction, breaking down every workout to make sure everyone understands, whether you’re a beginner or experienced. The supportive community and dedicated coaching make every class enjoyable. If you’re looking for a great gym, give them a call or email!

I can't express how much I love this place. I could write a novel on what this place personally means to me and how it has made a positive impact on my life, but all I'll say here and now is that you will not find a better coaching staff and community in this area. There is a CrossFit box that was a 10 min WALK from where I lived , but I would make the drive 30 mins out of Boston to come here. Some may say/think that is inconvenient, but I say it is SO. DANG. WORTH. IT. You need to check this place out ASAP!

I’ve tried a lot of different types of workouts including your standard open gym, boxing, jiu jitsu, different types of group classes, etc and I’ve never felt at home until I found Crossfit Ares. I was terrified to start, feeling out of shape and having not had any form of physical activity for months. Coach John encouraged me to give it one week before I wrote it off and I’m so glad I did! The classes are different every day and can be scaled to a level that feels more attainable but is still a challenge to your individual ability. They have plenty of class times to choose from and a clean facility but what really drives it home for me is the people. The coaches and other members are kind, patient, and encouraging while pushing you and keeping you accountable. I used to dread going to the gym, at times literally be sick to my stomach just thinking about going the next day, driving there questioning why I was doing this to myself. Not anymore. I have never felt more comfortable, challenged, and feeling like I’m really going to hit my stride in physical and mental health thanks to Crossfit Ares. If I can do it, anyone can. Come try it, you won’t regret it!

First class I had with Kyle as the coach. Kyle was awesome. First thing he did when I arrived this morning, he introduced himself. He then listened to all my excuses as to why this crossfit stuff is hard for me to do, he smiled and told me no need to worry, and I believed him! He was very clear with his instructions on what the workout would be. For me he was the perfect amount of checking on me to make sure my technique is correct, cheerleading and pushing to reach my full potential. Great coach! Great workout ! Great gym!

I came to CrossFit Ares looking for a new gym as I was new to the area. The first class at CFA, as I was hooked! The Coach John made sure my form looked good on new movements and movements I already had experience with. Coach Kristin was also great and so enthusiastic making morning classes something to get out of bed for.
The community is also hands down one of the best I have experienced. Moving to a new area, everyone at CFA has welcomed me with open arms has given me a group of friends in the area.
I cannot recommend CrossFit Ares enough. Thank you for all that you do!

I have had a fundamental shift in the way I look at my health since joining CrossFit Ares. I no longer focus on the number on the scale, but on how I feel and what I am able to do. When I joined, basic workouts were hard for me but after doing couple of months of personal training with Coach John - I've seen a dramatic increase in my strength and overall fitness. Coach John is among one of the most positive people I have come across. He will work with you to set realistic fitness goals, continuously motivate you, hold you accountable and is equally happy when you achieve your goals. Lastly, the community at CrossFit Ares is welcoming and supportive no matter your skill level or abilities.

I came to CrossFit Ares based on reading other Google reviews - which were all 5 stars. Coach John (and the other great coaches!) are beyond welcoming, professional, and personable. They take the time to teach you the movements and push you to be your best every day. My wife and I had never done CrossFit before joining so we were hesitant and nervous, but that quickly went away after meeting w Coach John and attending our first class. The community CrossFit Ares has created is something special. People of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds show up every day to get a little sweat and have some fun. Can’t recommend this place enough. Drop in and say hello, you won’t regret it.

I wish I was smart enough to have taken a before picture. I am just over 100 days since joining Crossfit Ares, and I feel great! I needed an early class so I could get to work after. Cross fit was not my first choice, as I was terrified of the word and what I would see on TV, I was pretty convinced if I tried it, I would die shortly after starting. However, despite my fears, Coach John met with me, put me through an intro work out, that felt like I was going to die, but I did not. He worked one on one with me to get my confidence up more than anything and a little work on my body. Again a before video of my trying to put on sox in the am to me doing that now would have been awesome, this place is where miracles happen! The other crossFit ares in the class are super supportive, even when you are the guy slowing everyone down. I have a long way to go, I have not touched my toes since 6th grade, however, Coach John and Coach Kristen have me believing that in the not to distant future I will be able to touch my toes again! Highly recommend this Gym! If I can do it, you can too!!!!

I’ve lived all over the country and have worked out at several CrossFit gyms but I have never had such a great experience as I do at CFA. This isn’t just a regular CrossFit gym where they just want you to throw up as much weight as possible. Coaches John and Kristen care so much about our progress and success. We work on foundational movements every class to ensure safety of all the athletes but are still smoked after each WoD. The variety of workouts are amazing. The equipment is all well maintained. My workouts here are the highlight of my week. Just join. It will change your life.

Hands down, best choice I’ve made was joining CrossFit Ares. VERY friendly & welcoming coaches / community who make me actually want to go train. I had 0 experience with CrossFit but John genuinely cares about every person who steps foot in the gym and takes an interest in you no matter what fitness level you are at. The community here is unmatched and more of a second family. Its more than just your average gym. I will forever be thankful for coach John & Kristin and all they have done!

CrossFit Ares has been a great compliment to my fitness. I use it to keep my body in shape for my outside activities - skiing, surfing, windsurfing, and rock climbing. John, Kristin, and Kyle are awesome coaches. They provide the right amount of coaching and encouragement. I am happy to be part of the community.

CF Ares is a great gym. I've been a member now for just over 1 yr and compared to other CF gyms - this one is truly a standout. The coach:class size ratio is always great. The coaches are really nice, fun, and well educated in the sport. Highly recommend this for a quick drop in or lifelong membership

I was with Ares for a few months and due to my health problems I had to put the gym on hold. I am doing much better and when I am able to I am planning to start back up with Ares. The instructor John is so amazing. He love what he does and takes your health seriously. he make sure that your form is correct. he isn't afraid to walk over to you and correct it. He definitely take his time and gradually put weight instead of just throwing you into something that can hurt you. My favorite part of the class is the Question of the day!!! That just opening you up before the class start.
John always find time to check up on me after my health issue. He genuinely care about his clients. I miss working out. But the one thing I love is he will always welcome me back with open arms. Thanks Ares I'll see you soon!!! Family for life.

I’ve been a member at CrossFit Ares since the end of June & it has been an amazing experience! I was going to do personal training here when I became a member because I was intimated being in a group class doing something I have never done before but coach John encouraged me to try one & they have been awesome! I now attend classes 4-5 times a week. CrossFit Ares has awesome members & coaches! It truly is a great community!

I've had the best experience here. I've gotten stronger and more confident, made a lot of new friends and learned a lot. It's very inclusive of all athletic abilities and the coaches work with you to make sure you have the right scale when you need it. I highly recommend taking a class here to try it out, and then when you love it, go get a membership!

Fitness✅ Positive vibes ✅ Family✅ Supportive Community ✅. Hands down the best 60 minutes (47 minutes for me I’m always late) of the day. I have been with Coach John from day one of his ownership and watching him and the other coaches check off all the boxes is like watching your own kids grow up. John, Kristin and Kyle I personally thank you for what you do and putting up with me 😂.

Love this gym. I didn’t have any experience with CrossFit before joining the gym. But during classes, coaches would make sure we get the forms right and suggest variations when needed. Also love the podcasts! They are more than just about CrossFit.

Absolutely love this gym! The coaches are fantastic and the whole Ares community is just as great! I was a bit hesitant on joining CrossFit as I am not an athlete. But the coaching and teamwork keeps me coming back for more and getting me stronger and better in the process. If you’re looking for a welcoming gym that will challenge and encourage you all in one, join CrossFit Ares!

I was nervous to get back into CrossFit after being out of it for roughly 4-5 years. I had found myself in a massive slump and didn't know if I had it in me, mentally or physically, to get back in the swing. Even if I could get back in it, I was nervous about flaws with form and potentially hurting myself. John & Kristin have been extremely supportive and encouraging. Their attention to detail with each and every movement gives me confidence to keep going. After about a month of being back in a routine, I feel like a new person. I've noticed changes in a short time and already feel stronger. I can only hope to keep the momentum going & feel great knowing I have their support! This is a great place to challenge yourself and have fun while doing so.

Joining CrossFit Ares has been a gamechanger for me. The owner, John, takes the time to get to know you and to discuss your personal goals. He and the other coaches ensure during every workout that you are pushing yourself, while also teaching you the correct form and modifying the workout to meet your needs. Joining CrossFit Ares also comes with the benefit of joining a fun, supportive community in which members cheer each other on for big wins and small ones. I honestly can say I love working out now and am grateful to have joined CrossFit Ares.

I've been going to Ares since June of 2019. I've trained at several CrossFit gyms and Ares' culture and programming is by far the best I've encountered. The workouts all have dynamic warmup and prep, strength component, WOD, and post workout mobility and extra work for those that want it. The coaches are really knowledgeable and genuinely want you to succeed. What's really refreshing, there isn't a level of elitism amount the RX athletes and scaled. Everyone is just trying to get better together! All around just a good group of people who lift hard and have fun doing it!

This place is great! It really is a community gym where you get to know everyone and it makes it a super fun environment. The coaches are encouraging and take an interest in your personal fitness, so you're always pushed towards your achievable goals, which is super motivating. Everything can be scaled down or up, so if you're in great shape or not, you can do CrossFit. I've never been prouder of my personal fitness or more motivated to keep consistent with it since joining

I love this place! Everyone is so supportive. The instructors make sure to go over good form before we perform any weight lifting movements and will always explain any exercise you don't know how to do. I have bad knees and the instructors have all been happy to give me alternative exercises. I'm still a crossfit newbie, but I am absolutely loving it here and I love the fact that there will always be a new challenge down the road and tons of variety to keep it interesting along the way. I checked out Ares because it was close, but I feel very lucky because the community here is all about support and encouragement with absolutely no judgement! This is exactly what I was hoping for and more! I would highly recommend checking Crossfit Ares out!

I have been curious about CrossFit for years. One day, as I was sitting on my couch eating pizza, I kid you not, an ad popped up on my Facebook for CrossFit Ares. On a whim I went to the gym, met with Amber, and decided to sign up for the 6 week challenge, it took minimal to NO convincing. Right away I was so glad I did it. In my mind CrossFit was going to be classes full of super tough people who would judge my ability, or lack thereof, to lift, run, do burpees, etc. Instead, I found that CrossFit Ares is just a place where people go for a work out that will kick their ass, in a community of nice people. I am on week 4 of my 6 week challenge and I am feeling great! The work outs still KILL ME, there are many WODs I don't make it all the way through. However, I am seeing so much difference in my energy and stamina. Also, I weighed myself (a no no 3 weeks in, but I couldn't help it) and I'm down 10lbs. I also already see muscle definition in places that I didn't know I could have muscle definition. My clothes are fitting better and I actually LIKE waking up at 5am to get to the 5:45am class. If you are curious about CrossFit I recommend trying out CrossFit Ares. I can't speak for all CrossFits, but I feel welcomed, supported, and so pumped that Facebook's algorithim plopped the challenge ad on my NewsFeed.

I cannot even put into words the love that I have for Crossfit Ares. Not only are the people amazing but the coaches are really what push you to be a better you. You do not find many places that the members actually care about one another and form such strong bonds. It does not matter if Emily or Jeremy are coaching your WOD, the end result will always be the same. You will leave there sweaty, exhausted, and proud. You can always count on high fives at the end of each class!

I had been doing Crossfit at another facility for about a year when I joined The CrossFit Ares team last month. I am so happy I made that decision. The coaches are awesome! They are encouraging and very knowledgeable. All of the people that work out at CrossFit Ares are great too. People are always cheering each other on and rooting for one another. I highly recommend CrossFit areas to anyone who's looking to try CrossFit for the first time or who was been doing it for a while.

I am the type of person that tries to work out regularly. I have to admit, I was a bit of a sceptic when I heard about Crossfit. I thought that the workouts would be more than I could handle. I am happy to say, I was wrong. I cannot speak enough about the CrossFit Ares program. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient and precise in every aspect of the WOD'S. I have been pleasantly surprised with the levels of strength and fitness that I have achieved under the tutelage of the staff at Crossfit Ares. Emily and Jeremy are an asset to the CrossFit Ares program. I would recommend this particular CrossFit gym to people of every level as the staff have the understanding and knowledge to bring each person to their personal best in a supportive environment.
