CrossFit® For The People: Opinions

Fantastic experience: A great box. Well equipped and super coaches. Friendly and helpful atmosphere. Im new to CrossFit and dropped in as I was visiting the area. They made me feel very welcome. Thanks Kayla and team.
Thanks so much for the kind words, and for coming in to visit us, Jonathan! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to welcome you for your first ever CrossFit class!
Looking forward to having you drop in again.☺️
Fantastic experience: Kayla @ CF For The People was great! Very welcoming group and solid coaching! CFHQ would be proud. Thanks for letting me hangout and hopefully I can stop by again soon.
Thank you for the very kind review, and for coming in to see us, Brett! We can’t wait to have you back again soon. :)
Fantastic experience: I was a member at CrossFit For The People for about two years before moving out of state. The gym itself is super clean and organized, with new Rogue equipment. What really sets CFTP apart, though, is the community and how the classes are run. Everyone was always on time (or early) and respectful. Every class starts with a 'question of the day' to break the ice and get people talking, which makes it easy to get to know everyone. The coaches take the time to make sure you’re properly warmed up and walk through all the lifts or technical parts of the workout so you feel confident and know what you’re doing (I definitely miss this at my current gym).
Thank you for the kind review, Lauren! We really take every piece of feedback/review to heart, and are so glad you’ve always enjoyed and appreciated your time at CFTP! It’s people like you, being part of our community, that makes us unique and a community of like-minded, awesome humans! We can’t wait to have you back in town again. :)
Fantastic experience: Great experience!
Thanks Scott!
Fantastic experience: I'm plan check out this place this weeks fir first time.
Fantastic experience: Kayla and her team are just awesome! I have had a great experience here. Everyone encourages each other regardless of fitness level. This is the best place for physical and mental self-improvement.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon, Joe!
Fantastic experience: Recently went to CrossFit for the first time ever and it was an amazing experience. It is definitely better than just going to the gym and plugging away with headphones, which I normally do. Coach Kayla organized the class so efficiently whether it be the structure of the class or tips on exercises. She made it extremely easy for me to understand everything. It was my first class, but I did feel a sense of community with everyone. Everyone was very nice and welcoming which made the experience what it was. However, I wish I had a fair chance with guessing the songs at the beginning.. Iykyk.. I want my revenge. I am looking forward to coming back next time I’m in the area which should be hopefully soon! Thanks again Coach Kayla and CrossFit For the People !!
Liam! It was such a pleasure to have you in class! Thank you for the kind words, we can’t wait to have you back again!
Fantastic experience: I've been to more than 50 CrossFit boxes as I travel, and this is one of the best. Dropped in for a 5:15am class. Joe was coaching, and he was terrific. All the members introduced themselves and were super nice. Facility is clean and the equipment is well-maintained. If I still lived in the area, this would be my home box!
Thank you for the feedback, and for dropping in with us! It was a pleasure to have you in class, and we look forward to having you visit us again. :)
Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a few classes. It is a great place to work out. Great community. Just love it.
Jhimit! Thank you so much for the kind review; we have so loved having you drop in for classes at CFTP, and certainly hope we get to see you again soon when you’re in town. ☺️
Fantastic experience: Well organized, clean, big, and great people. Coach Kayla was very thorough, and helpful pointing out improvements in movements without being pushy. Solid equipment - I saw a lot of Rogue, very good condition barbells, weights, rowers, bikes, etc. Dumbbells and weight plates are very well organized - it makes a difference!! Came for a drop-in workout, and will come again next time I'm in town. highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Hubert! We’re so glad you made it in, and look forward to having your drop in again! :)
Fantastic experience: I attended a noon class as a drop-in, and was more than pleased with every aspect (cleanliness, layout, ease of finding equipment) of the gym, as well as the welcome I received from coach Melissa and the seven FTP members who were part of this class. There was just a very positive overall vibe, and were I attending as a CF "newbie" doing a first trial, I would be impressed and encouraged by what seems to be a cohesive and supportive community. I will also mention that in inquiring about doing a drop-in, I received a very enthusiastic welcome from owner Kayla, who generously helped me navigate the online drop-in registration process. Wonderful experience all around, to be sure, and I visit For The People again in a heartbeat!
We are so glad you loved your class today and thanks for visiting us while you were in town!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Awesome community
Thank you Dan, for being part of it all for almost 5 years now!
Negative experience: No changes... neighbors still in need of a sound dampening/arresting barrier. * Warning: cross fit exercise does not automatically make you a good human. Care about someone other than yourself!
We care very much for our members and the community.
Fantastic experience: A truly exceptional CrossFit location with incredible coaches and a welcoming community!
Thank you for letting us know your appreciation for our community, Jack!
Fantastic experience: If there was a place that should be a six star, it’d here. Why?? Clean. Stocked. Vibe is amazing. Owner and coaching staff is knowledgeable, nice, motivating and driven. Just go.
We are so glad you love everything at CFTP and thank you for the great review!
Fantastic experience: CFTP has excellent programming… coaching that is second to none. I drive by three other CrossFit locations in order to come here, and it is so worth it.
Our community wouldn’t be the same without you, Heather! The fact that you choose us, means so much to us and we don’t take it lightly!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! Great coaches who are knowledgeable and attentive to everyone on the class. Great community that is always welcoming to new members!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Jane! So grateful to call you part of the CFTP family, always! :)
Fantastic experience: I did a drop in class at Crossfit For The People and it was fantastic! The space is nice, the equipment is great but the best part was the community. Everyone was super friendly, supportive and the owner Kayla is the best. I had some back pain (prior to going to her gym), and she texted me suggestions and helped me work through a plan.
This is so nice to see and we are so glad you love being part of our community at CFTP. Thanks for the terrific review!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. The facility is well equipped and the trainers are great. No matter your skill level, the coaches will ensure you have a great workout. The sense of community is strong and everyone here is very friendly and they make you feel welcomed. I actually look forward to working out now!
Joey! Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so grateful that you are enjoying your experience, and that you trust us with your journey! We are so excited to see what comes next.
Fantastic experience: CFTP was my introduction to CrossFit, and it FOREVER changed my relationship with myself and my body. CFTP isn’t simply a gym. It is a catalyst to and a community for your BEST self. The founding coach, Coach Kayla, and EVERY coach on her team is not just an amazing trainer; they are amazing HUMANS who will equip, encourage and empower you on every step of your journey. Whether you are an awkward teen or an aging senior, a new mom struggling to restore your body or someone recovering from a surgery seeking to regain your mobility, a recovering couch potato or an Olympic grade athlete, there is a place for you at CFTP. I truly cannot recommend CFTP enough. They are the G.O.A.T.!
Christina, we appreciate your kind and genuine words, And your presence in our community. Everything you mentioned is everything we strive to be, and we’re so glad you feel we’ve hit the mark! Thank you again. We look forward to continuing to work with you. :)
Fantastic experience: I was introduced to CrossFit in August of 2018 @ the age of 55 by the owner of CFTP Kayla Tote. I had never done anything like it before so while I excited, I was also very nervous and, honestly, very intimated. I quickly realized that I had nothing to fear. Just by walking in those doors, I found amazing coaches that were there for me for every moment of successes and failures providing guidance, technic and most importantly, scaling option for everything that led to many goals I never thought I would reach. There is also a tremendous sense of Community with the people at this gym. Every one is there cheering you on no mattter what. Fast forward 5 years later and I’m still doing CrossFit at CFTP. I’m stronger, both physically and mentally. I’m so grateful for Kayla, her coaching staff and the awesome community that they have created. Just walk through the doors and see for yourself!!
Tina, thank you so much for choosing us, and for sharing your experience so that others can see, they can do it too! Your commitment and persistence inspires us all, and we can’t wait to see what the next 5 years have in store. :)
Fantastic experience: CFTP is more than just a gym. The community is what makes this place special. Everyone is friendly, encouraging, and supportive. The coaches are very knowledgeable and provide scaling options that are accessible to everyone. The facility is super clean and well equipped. I never thought I was “fit” enough for CrossFit, but after my first class I realized that you don’t need to be an athlete to participate! This place has changed my life for the better. Not only have I become physically stronger and healthier, but mentally has well.
Thank you for your review, Kayla! We’re so glad you made the big scary leap to try CrossFit.. and that you’ve stuck with it ever since! Stronger everyday! :)
Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit for the People about 5 years ago with no prior CrossFit experience. I was nervous and hesistant until I met the owner Kayla and the other members. The community that has been built within the gym is like no other. I have made lifelong friends from joining this gym! Besides the great community, Kayla and the other coaches are extremely knowledgeable. They are always providing different modifications for movements so that everyone in the room can have a great workout and still be safe doing so! CrossFit for the People has made such a positive impact on my life, I highly recommend trying a class! Best Hour of My Day
Natalie, we are so so forever grateful that you walked through our doors, and continue to choose us and trust us to be part of your journey. :) thank you for playing a significant role in making us, who we are!
Fantastic experience: This gym caters to individuals of all backgrounds, whether it's your initial venture into a Crossfit gym or you're a seasoned regular. The dedicated coaches genuinely prioritize your physical and mental well-being, customizing workouts to suit your current fitness level and accommodating any injuries. The welcoming members make it easy to connect, greeting everyone with warm smiles. The facility boasts excellent equipment, impeccable cleanliness, and engaging environment for an awesome workout.
We are so glad you love CFTP and thanks for this amazing 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: An amazing gym full of coaches and community members who care about you as a person. Joining CFTP was one of the best decisions I have made, and I continue to be grateful for this gym and community every day. Becoming stronger and overall healthier inside of this space has allowed me to lead a more fulfilled life full of adventures outside of the gym.
We thank our lucky stars to have you as part of our community and team everyday, Kelsey! Thank you for choosing CFTP! ☺️
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of CFTP since 2019 and consider it my home away from home. Beyond the extensive knowledge each coach has and the feeling you get after a great workout, the community aspect and the relationships formed make this gym a great place for any and all skill levels. Come check it out, you wont regret it!
Thank you for your feedback and kind words, Melissa! We appreciate knowing that you love our CFTP community just as much as we appreciate having you as a part of it!
Fantastic experience: If you think you can't do crossfit , you've never been here. Coaches are the best ,the work is scaled to challage you and help you grow. All members and coaches treat you like family. If you don't start you won't finish. Do something for you , you won't be disappoint.
Thanks for the great review of CrossFit For The People. We are so glad you love our coaches and enjoy working out with us. Thanks for being part of our community!
Fantastic experience: Great people and an amazing workout!
Thanks for this amazing review of crossfit for the people! We appreciate you being part of our community.
Fantastic experience: This is a great place to work out. The coaches are exceptional; they're knowledgeable in crossfit as well as body mechanics. They teach slowly and deliberately in order to focus on form. They are always able to accommodate any issues you may be having- at 60, crossfit always presents a challenge. This community is phenomenal- supportive and always ready to cheer you on. They are a great group of people from a variety of professions. Credit for this vibe should be given to the owner who pushes everyone to be better both inside and outside the gym. They are also hyper-vigilant regarding disinfection, distancing and masks. The safety of the members is evident here as well. Equipment is current and well maintained.
Thank you Patti! We love knowing you appreciate our community, and are so grateful you continue to choose us.
Fantastic experience: Mop
Thanks for the perfect 5 star rating of CFTP!
Fantastic experience: I dropped in to CrossFit for the People while in town for work and had an awesome experience! The coach and programming was great and everyone was so friendly. I will definitely be coming back whenever I am in town. Highly recommend trying this box out when you’re in the area!
Thank you for your kind words Lindsey ! We hope to have you back again !
Fantastic experience: I've dropped in here several times and have always had a great experience. The coaches are thorough and attentive. The workouts are well thought out and challenging. The facility is in excellent condition. People here are very nice. This is a go-to place for me when I'm in town.
We are so glad you enjoy working out with us at CrossFit For The People and we appreciate the perfect 5 star review. We look forward to seeing you the next time you visit the area!
Negative experience: Just wanna say thank you for being so considerate of your neighbors by waking me up every morning at the crack off dawn by dropping weights and shaking my house. Guess you really don't care about everyone's health and well being unless they are paying you
Thanks for the review, Paul. We actually don't drop weights at our gym and we make every effort to be mindful of our neighbors (like installing thick floor mats, keeping the windows closed so music can't be heard outside, etc.) so we can positively impact our community. We look forward to meeting you one day if you ever decide to visit our gym and try a class.
Fantastic experience: CFTP is the most welcoming, fun, and inviting gym you could imagine! They truly care about helping their members improve not only their health and fitness, but their overall lives in the process. I am so grateful to be part of the CFTP community!
You rock, Jen! Thank you so much for the kind review, and for being a positive person and part of our community! We look forward to where we’re growing, and for you to be part of it all!
Fantastic experience: Great workouts!
Thanks for the great review, Karen. We love having you as part of our community at CrossFit For The People!
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and make the workouts fun! The programming is challenging but in the best way possible! This place will push you to your limits while having a ton of fun doing it! Super pumped to have a space and environment like this to workout in!
We are so glad you are enjoying your time at CFTP, Shannon! And we are so grateful to have you in the community and CFTP fam! We look forward to growing together in the coming months and years!
Fantastic experience: I am not the type of person who enjoys working out. However, I do very much enjoy eating so here I am ! I had this unrealistic fear that I could never do Crossfit and since joining CFTP I actually look forward to working out! One might go as far as to say I'm addicted! The positive energy, comrodary, accountability keeps me motivated to come back. This experience has definitely taken me out of my comfort zone and I love it! I'm also starting to see my body change and I couldn't be happier!
This is too funny and thanks for the great review and being part of our community.
Fantastic experience: Kayla and her new gym are THE BEST addition to this community! No judgement, friendly knowledgeable coaches, and an owner who is present every day and sharing her love of fitness with everyone that walks thru her doors. I love Cross Fit For the People!!
Thank you so much for the kind words Lynn!!! We are SO happy to have you in the community!!!
Fantastic experience: Being new to crossfit, i definitely was feeling a bit intimidated! However, from the moment I reached out to the beautiful owner on a few questions, I immediately felt like family! Such an incredible workout, fantastic community, and a true pleasure to watch someone change lives, and do it with such heart, and passion!! I'm hooked... #❤️CFTP
Denise, we are SO GRATEFUL that you reached out and made the brave leap to jump in, and we look forward to more years of health, happiness, and goal crushing inside the walls of CFTP, together! :)
Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great community, and great workouts! I had never tried CrossFit until this place opened, because I was so intimidated by it, but Kayla and Joe are such amazing coaches, so welcoming, nurturing, and attentive, that it's made the whole experience a million times more accessible for me. So much more than just a gym; walking through those doors always feels like being reunited with friends.
Thank you so much for the 5 star review and kind words Fatima ! We are so glad you chose to start your CrossFit journey with us!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing CrossFit for 6 years and this is the most positive environment I’ve had the pleasure of calling “home.” The coaches are knowledgeable and energetic. They know how to work the room and coach EVERYONE. Whether you’re new or “know what you’re doing” - you’ll feel comfortable and get better. The programming is great! We all leave like a sweaty mess. Whether you’re new and nervous of seasoned and ready, this is a great place for everyone. The energy, the members, the coaching, the programming... it’s all great. I love walking in every morning and I feel so accomplished when I leave. I HIGHLY recommend you stop by :-)
Thank you so much for the kind review, Michelle !! We LOVE seeing your smiling face walk through the garage doors every morning, and are so grateful for what you contribute to the community! Thank YOU!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good about CFTP. The coaches are amazing at what they do & they care deeply about every person that walks through their doors. I’ve been there for about a month & it’s awesome to see the strong values rooted in community and kindness that the owner (who is a yoga teacher on top of a crossfit coach) brings to the space on a daily basis. I can’t wait to see the gym grow & meet all the new people that com— I’ve already made so many new friends at the space. If you have your doubts about crossfit, just come and check it out, there’s something for everyone & the coaches make all the classes safe and inclusive. CFTP is 100% an asset to the community. It’s way more than just a gym!
Thank you so so much for the incredibly kind words Natalie!! Our community has grown so much and into such a great space because of the amazing people walking through our doors every day, and we thank you for that!! Looking forward to so much growth on the journey ahead !!
Fantastic experience: Great coaching and great community support at CFTP. Location convienence is a plus. Well run small business.
We are so glad you are part of our gym at CFTP and thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: I always have fun and get a great workout when I’m at Crossfit for the people!
Thanks so much for the review Mike !! We love that you’re enjoying the workouts !
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about CFTP! I just finished my first month and I’m so glad that I joined this community. I decided to try CrossFit because I wanted to get onto better shape and to get into a better fitness routine overall. I knew that I needed the structure of set classes with great coaches to teach me the correct technique and movements, as well as challenge me to go out of my comfort zone. I knew absolutely nothing about CrossFit prior, but was familiar with Kayla through the yoga, and I felt really comfortable (and not intimidated) getting started here. I felt so welcomed right away at CFTP and I’m so thankful that I decided to give this a try. I can’t wait to continue to learn and grow with everyone in this new growing community!
Thank you for trusting us on this new journey, and for being such a positive and great addition to our community Riana! We are so glad that you chose to start your CrossFit journey with us, and look forward to watching you grow. :)
Fantastic experience: Best trainer/coach in the capital district, awesome facility, an amazing community for athletes of all levels.
Thank you for your kind review and contribution to the community, Sally! Looking forward to many workouts to come !
Fantastic experience: Such a great place for a workout! The coaches are amazing and the community that has been created within the walls of this gym has been exactly what I need in this time in my life! If you want a great workout and to add extended family this is the exact place for you! CrossFit for the People owner is truly for the People.
Thank you so much for your kind words and review Deshaya!!! We love having you in our community as we grow, and are so grateful for your commitment to, and trust in, our mission! Looking forward to many years of fitness and community, together!
