Love this community gym! Inclusive, convenient, friendly people and coaches. Have been going since January and have built strength and endurance. Small classes have helped me get personalized feedback and meet other gym goers.

I am so grateful to have discovered this place! I am only in the area for a few weeks and needed a place to exercise and stay active and I felt very welcomed, attended classes with knowledgeable and supportive trainers. People are kind and welcoming and I felt so comfortable even though I didn’t know anyone. This is a hidden gem and if I lived closer, I would definitely continue attending. Definitely worth checking it out! Nothing pretentious, welcoming and inclusive environment, great people; what more could you want. Thank you Rocket Community Fitness!

Just started going to Rocket in Jan 2024 and it was the best decision ever. The coaches are amazing and provide guidance, encouragement and feedback that is really helpful. The community is supportive, friendly and accepting. I appreciate the variety of offerings like yoga and kettlebells. It doesn't get any better!

In the Venn diagram of wise, kind, progressive, and punk, Rocket is right in the middle, next to Henry Rollins. A warm, welcoming gym for those who might feel out of place in other fitness spaces. No matter what your relationship to movement has been, you can find support & encouragement for your journey here.

Rocket is the best! Been a member for almost 7 years and the community, coaches, philosophy of inclusivity, and overall great vibes keep me coming back. That and the invigorating sore-in-a-good-way and I-can't-believe-I-did-that feelings. Truly an awesome gym.

I have been a member at Rocket since Oct 2022 and have never loved a gym like I love this place! The coaches are awesome, the members are awesome, and the owners have worked hard to create a culture that's welcoming and supportive. I especially feel that as a queer person and as someone who never thought of herself as an athlete before but who does now. Super grateful for this place and for the people who make it the community that it is.

Love Rocket-I've been a member for almost 10 years and it is the most fun, supportive place to work out. At Rocket you can reach your goals whether you want to be competitive or just want get in some movement in every day. The programming is varied, so you don't get bored. And it is convenient so you don't have an excuse- there are times to work out at all times of the day and on the weekends.

As someone with many chronic physical limitations, I praise Rocket for normalizing getting stronger in whatever body you have and ensuring that the coaches support this mission and are able to tailor each workout so that I hit the stimuli without causing myself further damage. Ignore the trolls. I come here to support my body’s longevity and sweat with people I love.

Love the people here! Rocket provides both functional fitness and accessory work with experienced coaches and ownership who deeply care about members and those dropping in. They also have Kettle bell and Olympic lifting classes taught by coaches in the competitive space. Coaches do a great job teaching how to properly scale and modify movements, promoting safety and inclusivity within and outside the gym.

You like gyms with nice people and good scheduling? Well, can't do much better than Rocket. Not super competitive (which COULD be a downside for some young guns 😉), but a great place to establish a consistent, enjoyable crossfit'esque routine. Instructors are great, peeps are great-er-est.

I’ve been a gym member of some sort of gym since I was 18 years old and this is only the second gym I’ve felt welcomed at. The other one closed in covid. I love the workouts, the owner, and the members. They are up to date on the best and safe practices in Olympic weightlifting, kettlebell, and yoga. They also are inclusive. As a queer person, this matters. If you want a gym that knows what the hell they are doing with workouts and with humans, this is your place.

Rocket Fitness is my favorite gym I’ve ever worked out at. Alyssa (one of the co-owners) was welcoming and positive right from the start. They are really doing something right here — the classes are well-designed, the instructors are clear and motivating, and the community is made up of genuinely good people. I consistently recommend Rocket Fitness to everyone in the area. You won’t regret checking it out.

Rocket is a third space for me - it has the best supportive community and allows me to feel strong and stay active all year. The classes are small, the teachers are great, and it is so inclusive of different identities and workout levels. It’s the first gym i’ve been a part of and I feel like I belong, not to mention feeling very strong. The teachers always tailor the workouts for you. You can also just come in and use the gym equipment too. Yay rocket!

If the owner were concerned about health, they wouldn't placate to mental illnesses, and would instead encourage a healthy mind and body. Just another part of the larger problem. Let me guess, next I will be accused of "never setting foot in the gym", as is their blanket response to anyone who might take an issue.

I almost never write reviews, but after being a member at Rocket for just under a year now, I can say with absolute confidence that this place deserves all the 5 stars! I’ve often felt unwelcome or out of place at other gyms, but never Rocket. The workouts are hard, but the coaches are always encouraging and offer great scaling options but also help push you when they know you can do it. I’ve also been able to make some great friends through Rocket and am grateful that they create opportunities to get to know other members and really build community. All of this, along with feeling way stronger and better in my body, makes Rocket a place that I actually want to keep coming back to - a rarity for me in the fitness world.

Love Rocket. Workouts are hard but completely scalable. Tons of variety in the classes, as well as opportunities to really dig into certain things like weightlifting, HIIT, or kettlebells. I really appreciate Rocket's focus on listening to your body/where you're at on a given day, and not pushing/shaming everyone to some arbitrary one-size-fits-all goal for a workout. This has helped me avoid injury (I don't have time for that!), get stronger, and feel comfortable trying things I never thought I'd try (rope climb, I'm looking at you!). Great gym, great community!

I’ve been attending this gym for about 10 years. Rockets members and the coaching staff are family! It’s an honor to be apart of a community that shows up for one another as athletes and as humans. The Rocket Team has forever operated in a way to shape shift to the needs of the members, first and foremost. Show up as you are- sweating and dancing encouraged!

Have been a member for 3 years. Joined during COVID times, when this gym had online classes whenever regulations did not allow in-person classes. Just one example of how the coaches adapt to meet the needs of members. This is a body positive, age affirming, gender inclusive community. The classes are challenging, AND totally adaptable. The goal is meeting your individual goals, not comparing yourself to others.

I've been a member at Rocket for 2.5 years now and absolutely love it! Workouts are CrossFit style and highly varied... one day you'll find your 1 rep max clean & jerk, the next day you'll be jumping and running and rowing, and then next day you'll try out some new gymnastics skills, all with the support and encouragement of your wonderful coach and fellow athletes. For me personally, as a former collegiate athlete and someone who did CrossFit at 2 other gyms before finding Rocket, I have grown so much stronger and improved the mechanics of my lifts and skills because of the incredible coaches at Rocket (shout out to Jen!) and the unique culture of this gym. The elimination of CrossFit labeling (RX weights and heights, gendered bars, etc.) has actually nudged me to listen to my own body more, pushing myself on days when I feel able to do it, and scaling back when I need to. This has allowed me to stay safe and injury free, get stronger than I have ever been before, and feel so much more able to do the usual fitness-y things required in daily life (like deadlifting a tantruming child off of the floor). The Rocket community is incredibly welcoming and supportive for all levels and ages!

Been doing CrossFit and CrossFit style workouts for 12 years. I’ve done comps and also been a casual fitness-er. Rocket is full of folks that just want to get better, be healthier, and do it in an environment that is safe and supportive of all folks regardless of gender or ability level. Coaches are very experienced and well trained to adapt workouts to accommodate for injuries and fitness goals. If you live locally, join us. If you are in town, drop in. Everybody else—Use the barbell that you want to use and stop hating on a gym that you’ve never been to just because you disagree with the way we do things. Be better, or just come to Rocket and we will help you get there.
