The culture at Prime is both fun and inspiring, with a welcoming staff and members. Everyone’s fitness level and journey are accepted and supported. The workouts are diverse, challenging, and enjoyable, led by knowledgeable and caring coaches.
When I first joined Prime, I was dealing with several small aches and soreness from daily activities and golf. I started by working 1-1 with Coach Rylee who prepared me over the course of a year to then start group classes. The group classes are filled with inspiring, friendly and encouraging people crushing it to all of Rylee's awesome playlists. Over the course of two years, I’ve gained strength, improved my mobility, and feel better in everyday life. Plus, my golf game has improved—and I’m no longer sore after 18 holes! Thank you, Anthony, Rylee and all of the coaches for your knowledge and encouragement!

I’m closing in on 8 years at Prime. I still remember walking into the old CrossFit Utica on Campbell Ave. That November afternoon I met a ripped coach Nick Woodman who guided me through all the movements and was ever so patient and encouraging. I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of having dozens of conversations with the gym members. Many have a similar story. When they first walked into the gym they were intimidated and felt out of place. However, because of the welcoming community and coaches attention to detail those thoughts quickly faded as you did the work. Anthony has backed up his vision by putting his heart and soul into Prime, which is a spacious gym with the best equipment. Beside Anthony I’d like to thank some of the coaches, Nick W, Nick A, Julie, Sam, Christina, Adam and Rylee for keeping me encouraged and motivated throughout my years at Prime. Finally, I can’t think of a nicer group of people and gym classmates that are the backbone that makes Prime the best gym I’ve ever been a part of.

I’ve been a Prime member for two years now and I’ve gained significant muscle mass and made some incredible friends. I’ve also had running injuries, and the coaches have always been incredibly helpful in modifying my movements to prevent further damage. I never get bored because each class is a unique and exciting experience. The classes are designed to be at your own pace, so you can work at your own level. I absolutely love the excitement of tackling a challenge with others in a group fitness class, and this gym is just the place for me!

Dropped in at Prime Movement for multiple sessions while staying in the area for an extended period, and I'm so grateful to have found such a welcoming, well equipped gym.

The programming is excellent - a mix of strength and conditioning - that scales to what works for you. The coaches are friendly and supportive along with its members. If I lived here, I'd join!

I started at Prime in 2018 with such anxiety that I wouldn’t be able to do anything. Or that I was to old - only to surprise myself 🙌 and with that came bonuses of how good I felt both mentally and physically!
They really work with you and modify movements to where you’re working and strengthening muscles - making it comfortable and gradually getting you to where it’s a comfortable challenge. Feels great!
I love this gym 🫶🏻

Prime has been a massive catalyst in my fitness journey. From starting out as a runner who was then attending a HIIT boot camp I was looking for a strength program. After my friend attended one class she was convinced this was the place. Once I started the free trial, I immediately knew this was a professionally programmed gym with the expertise to back it up. The owner is an accomplished coach and athlete in traditional sports and CrossFit. The coaching staff consists of similar suited professionals which includ a high level ranking CrossFit athlete. Over the course of the past year I have attended I have progressed heavily and fell in love with the sport of CrossFit and functional fitness. The atmosphere is friendly and fellow gym members are all willing to share their knowledge and experience. I Couldn't recommend a better gym to grow and learn in the field function fitness.

Mindset is everything. I never thought that I could “do” a CrossFit workout. After being in a terrible rut with working out, I decided I needed a change. We all know that change can be scary; however, if we want to better ourselves, placing ourselves in uncomfortable situations might just be what we need to do. After hearing about Prime from several friends, I decided to sign up for a trial in June. Well, 11 weeks later, 55 classes in, I can say that I CAN do CrossFit. Anthony, Rylee, and the rest of the team at Prime are knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful; adding to this, they care—-about your health, your goals, and YOU, in and out of the gym. In joining Prime, I have surrounded myself with other members who possess these traits as well. Physically, I have never felt stronger; I am not where others are on their fitness journey, but I have learned that I CAN do this…I AM doing this. I love the physical and mental transformation that has taken place so far; I am grateful that I am challenged each time I walk into the gym; I feel healthier; and I am so excited for this new journey thanks to Prime.

Strongly recommend. Walking into PRIME will be one of the best fitness decisions you make, no matter where you are in the journey. The coaches are knowledgable, supportive and want you to succeed, the space is always clean and welcoming and the people are encouraging and friendly. The class sizes are small so there is a lot of instruction and the times are perfect for working parents. I’ve seen great results since joining PRIME. My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner.

Here we go! I initially joined Prime in order to minimize the amount of pain I was in on a daily basis (lower back, hips, etc.) 20 years of strict ballet training had done me in and I was in desperate need of relief. Through friends within the community I learned about Prime and started my journey through my first ever real attempt at "fitness." Initially I was stuck in my old ways of stretching and had not worked out consistently in ~4 years however, within months of joining Prime I learned an immense amount about my body, exercise and most importantly nutrition. I started to immediately see results (mostly with reduction in pain) once I started the Prime ID program. Individualized training created just for me and my injuries. I've been working one on one with my coach for ~10 months now and have not had any large issues with pain and have noticed a positive change in my day to day life. I went from "throwing" my back out every other month, to minimal pain related to old injuries. I've learned that injuries may never fully go away however, now if they are triggered, the healing process is less than 24 hours as opposed to a week. The Prime ID program gives you the opportunity to work out in the gym on your own, with specific instructions and open communication with your coach for questions and concerns. I've had nothing but amazing experiences working out with the awesome community at Prime. I've met lifelong friends here and am forever grateful.

Prime is the best gym in the area if you want to see results. No fads here. There is a complete lifestyle focus: fitness, nutrition, and daily lifestyle choices. The staff is knowledgable and invested in the success of each member. The small class sizes allow for a lot of individual instruction. The other members are an amazing group of people--all ages and ability levels, and always encouraging each other. Prime is awesome! I'm constantly learning and growing, which positively impacts all areas of my life.

I have been a member of this crossfit facility for almost 3 years as of this May, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. The global gyms that offer those low monthly fees never worked for me and never gave me the initiative or motivation to accomplish my personal goals. This gym has not only transformed me physically since I started but has given me new friends and motivation with like minded people. When people think of crossfit it's so easy to be intimidated by the workouts but every workout is structured around your own personal goals. The past few years at this gym, there have been some amazing new programs implemented that are oriented towards all levels of fitness. The coaches and the environment are a step above the rest. When it comes to focusing on the development of any individual in the fitness world the owner Anthony has the knowledge and/or direction to get anyone to their personal goals.

I started at Crossfit Utica, now Prime, three years ago with one of my closest friends. I won’t lie, I had to be talked into it. I was scared to allow my body to tell me what I wasn’t ready to hear, which was that needed to get in shape. But after joining, I was amazed how empowered I felt! I enjoyed the community, environment, structure, and guidance each box jump of the way! Honestly, how I think about living a healthier lifestyle has changed because I decided to give this a shot. I haven’t always been able to be consistent due to my own life challenges, but I always find my way back and know that I am welcomed.

When I recommend people to crossfit, the concerns are that it’s too pricey or that they aren’t “fit” enough (whatever that means), but when you step out of your comfort zone and commit to it, it’s worth it. The only expectation is that you give it your all. If you are struggling, don’t worry! Anthony’s got your back! Literally, he is probably watching your form to make sure you don’t injure yourself.

Since rebranding to Prime, Anthony has implemented other programs in to better fit the needs of people. He is always working on trying to help you be a better you. You just have to experience it for yourself!

I’ve been going to Prime for two years and I can honestly say this is the best decision I’ve ever made. The facility has plenty of new equipment and is extremely clean and spacious. The coaches are wonderful- always positive and encouraging- and knowledgeable when it comes to form and movement. The owner Anthony genuinely loves good health and fitness! He always goes above and beyond to ensure that every athlete regardless of age, gender or skill level gets the most out of every workout. I’ve reached so many goals and have developed so many friendships- I would recommend Prime to everyone!!

CFU is amazeballs. There’s a strong sense of community, fostered by the coaches and the CFU events and challenges. The workouts are varied, tempered, and motivating, and while you work out you’re supported and encouraged by the coaches and the other athletes. It’s addictive. I go almost every day because it’s my Me Time, and I love the way I feel after the workouts! I would recommend it to everyone!! For realzzzz

I was nervous to try crossfit but this box is so welcoming and everyone is so nice. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and make sure that you know what you are doing before you life any weights. I was appreciative of this because I had been nervous about the negative association often given to crossfit. It really is all dependent on coaching and the coaches at Crosfit Utica are absolutely wonderful.

I can't say enough good things about this place! You get to workout in a truly judgement free place where you can focus on getting stronger and healthier surrounded by people that want nothing more than to see you succeed and be a part of their "family." In this gym you’re a name, not a number. Every single movement and exercise is scalable to work for anyone no matter where you’re starting skill/strength wise. The coaches are all awesome and the owner is involved in the gym day in and day out and is constantly working to make things better and offer more. I could go on and on and not have a single bad thing to say. If you’re questioning if CrossFit is for you, stop in CrossFit Utica and give it a try! You’ll be hooked once you step in the door.

“Grams are gained in the Gym, Kilos lost in the Kitchen.” I believe there are perhaps 5 CrossFit gyms in our area, and while I cannot say I've been to any of the others, I truly enjoy being a member at Utica CrossFit. Their gym space is a bit small, but so are the class sizes. They’re moving soon to a bigger space which will be nice but I rarely find myself “crammed.” All the coaches are knowledgeable, helpful and involved. It may be expensive compared to a normal gym, but you get the results.
