Fitness By The Sea

Fantastic experience: This is a long overdue review, but I can speak volumes on why BTS is the ONLY gym you should be a member of in the shore. I have been a member of the gym for just over 10 years (despite several hiatuses for school related purposes) and will be a member for years to come. In 2014, I watched Jay, Ashley and Grant open the gym with a dream, and I don’t think they realized at the time how big that dream would eventually become and how many people it would involve. But that dream doesn’t become a reality without their hard work, their dedication, their selflessness, their inclusiveness and their ability to evolve. Each of them offers something unique when you take their individual classes, but one thing that never changes that they share in unison, is they genuinely care and pay attention to each members overall well-being, not just their physical. Similar to JAG, the other coaches (Aaron, Renee, Jess, Justin, etc.) emulate the vision that JAG has for the gym. Their energy and compassion are unmatched. They can push you beyond what you think you’re capable of but also have the ability to flip the switch and be patient with you as you challenge yourself. Because of them, the community that has developed behind this gym is one that is friendly, fun to work out with and welcoming beyond belief. Not only will you get in great shape, but you will make great friends while doing so.

Fantastic experience: BTS isn't just another place to work out or lift weights. Yes, it offers classes that focus on strength and others that focus on agility or mobility. Yes, it has CrossFit routines and HIIT classes. But can't you get that anywhere? Probably. What you cannot get anywhere, though, are the owners and coaches at BTS, who make this gym special. Each coach has a different approach to instruction, but each brings professionalism, care, and fun to a class - even ones where you might hate the movements. Whether is was a small ask like changing the Spotify playlist or a more serious request like guidance on exercise modifications due to injury, each coach is happy to oblige. And I think you'll be hard pressed to find another gym where so many members look forward to seeing each other both at the gym and then outside of it for a hockey game, a Christmas party, or bar crawl. I'm not sure how they've done it, but BTS has created a devoted following of members who come for the fitness, but stay for the family. Thank you for creating such a welcoming place for everyone to work on their fitness!

Fantastic experience: BTS is a gym like no other! There are various classes to choose from to fit your workout needs. The coaches are enthusiastic, friendly, and encouraging. The community is supportive and kind. Going to the BTS 60 class is hands down the best part of my day. If you are looking to get in shape, get strong, or improve your fitness BTS is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t ask for a better place to workout and feel like I’m getting the proper programming and support that I need. LOVE this place.

Fantastic experience: Lots of classes to choose from. Perfect size gym with great coaches. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve happily been a member here for many years, and will be for many more to come. I love the variety of class options as well as the thought out programming. The coaches are awesome, the gym is clean and organized, the other members are friendly, and there is always outside activities planned. It’s just a fun place to be, and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Welcoming, knowledgeable, and so much fun are the 3 words I would use to describe this special place! Regardless of your fitness goals or athletic ability, this is a space that really focuses on helping you to feel better and get stronger! I am in my 9th year as a member and can say unequivocally that my health and well being are directly influenced by my experience at Fitness by the Sea.

Fantastic experience: Best shape of my life thanks to coaches and their focus and getting to know each member both on a personal and physical level. Scaling is not frowned upon but encouraged. Pretty of time to warm up before classes start.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fitness By The Sea for almost 9 years and will never leave. It is my happy place that helps me stay in shape. If you are looking for a community to help you reach your fitness goals and find like-minded people, you need to come try it out :)

Fantastic experience: Great variety of classes in terms of time / skill / fitness level Great job continually hosting social / community events Great facility. Clean with plenty of equipment. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great staff. The workouts are intense (as per CrossFit standards), but you can always take a break and jump back in when you’re ready. No one’s forcing you to do anything. I liked the class I did.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a 4th of July WOD (which kicked my butt). The gym was clean and wide open. Plenty of room to work. The coaches were welcoming and thorough and my fellow athletes were all extremely friendly. A great place. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Fun environment with good programming.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to this place❤❤

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym about four months ago and I am absolutely pleased and love it here! They have all types of programs for all types of people, for those who are interested in different things.

With the most professional and friendly staff this place is a go to for fitness on the shore!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Dropped in for two classes during vacation and everyone was awesome. Such a welcoming atmosphere. Burn the Ships to By the Sea- BTS to BTS. Loved it!

Fantastic experience: Just THE BEST!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: THE GREATEST GYM EVER! Jay, Ashley, and Grant are always kind, attentive, and knowledgeable during the classes. Whenever you need a workout scaled or more clarification they are always super helpful and patient. Unlike other gyms I've been to, I don't feel intimidated and it is great for all skill levels. The rest of the staff and gym members are so friendly. The programming is always on point and the vibe in there is just awesome.

Fantastic experience: By far my favorite box !!! I’ll never forget the 1st time I walked in, Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. After trying many different types of workouts. Crossfit has got me hooked!! I look forward to 9pm every night. To see the next day workout . Don’t feel intimated just come try it! If you can’t do the workout the coaches will always have ways for you to scale it until you can achieve it. I’m in shock by my progress and excited to get better and better. Couldn’t do it without these awesome coaches !

Fantastic experience: Great coaches

Positive experience: So good

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Dropped in for two classes during vacation and everyone was awesome. Such a welcoming atmosphere. Burn the Ships to By the Sea- BTS to BTS. Loved it!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym where I've dropped in many times. Solid coaching, friendly members, large space and brand new equipment!

Fantastic experience: BTS workouts are something I look forward to each week. Throughout my pregnancy the coaches were supportive and helped me modify my workouts. Postpartum it’s been a savior not only for getting back into shape but for my mental health as well. I love working out here!

Fantastic experience: Great people and programming!

Fantastic experience: I truly found my gym home here. The coaches and atmosphere are fantastic. Whether your an all star or a beginner who is just looking to break a sweat all are welcome. I'm three years in and have never been happier. I love it here! #fitnessbythesea

Fantastic experience: Been here for over 2 years. I’ve never been stronger, better looking and have never felt happier just to workout! BTS has the best atmosphere, the best people and the best coaching I’ve seen! They push you to your limit and beyond. That’s what I love the most about it. You cannot continuously push yourself as far on your own. Trust me! I’ve tried for 7 years and BTS finally got me what I wanted.

Fantastic experience: Awesome environment

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility and dedicated coaches which will exceed your expectations by far! You don't want to go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit By The Sea is the best place I ever walked into. I joined two months ago not knowing anything about CrossFit. The coaches guide you through movements to perform them safely and push you so every day you perform better than yesterday.

Fantastic experience: Only one word describes this place...AMAZING. I have been fortunate to be apart of this family for over 2 and a half years and I have loved every second of it! Everything about CFBTS is top notch: from the owners to facilities and especially the MUSIC.

Fantastic experience: I was a nervous wreck walking into Crossfit by the Sea, basically because I could have given birth to the majority of members who were in attendance. My first class, I was the last one to finish wallballs and there was all this cheering going on - I realized everyone in class was cheering for me! I was stunned! That's the spirit of this gym. It has become my home away from home. I'm stronger and in better shape than I've probably been in my whole life, thanks to the superb coaching. They have supported and encouraged me all along the way. For that, I will be forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: I really struggle in gym environments. I'm one of those nerds that's great in research and study, not so great in physical arenas. At CrossFit by the Sea, they make me more and more comfortable every single day. They make me more comfortable because they use that "learning interest" nature I have to show me the techniques, and make sure I'm doing them correctly. In learning the techniques, I feel more comfortable. The people there are incredibly supportive. They may not know my name, but, they clap for me when I run by, or keep trying, even after they've finished. They do introduce themselves, they make conversation, and they make me feel like I belong there when before I really felt like I didn't (self-imposed.) The coaches take the time to listen to me. Some days, I'm really anxious, and they help get me in a place where I can focus. I can't explain how valuable this component is. Most importantly, since I've been really putting effort in, I've lost 15 pounds and still going. I'm starting to see visible changes in my body. And, I'm seeing huge changes in how much I'm capable of doing! I'm learning, growing, and doing it in an environment where safety is the top priority, followed very closely by fun and motivation. If you've ever considered joining a CrossFit gym, I couldn't recommend CrossFit by the Sea any more highly. Thank you, CFBTS!

Fantastic experience: BTS has the best CrossFit community I have ever experienced! The workouts, structure, and support have pushed me far beyond what I could have ever expected!!! CrossFit By The Sea is not only a home away from home, but a place where you can become the best possible you.

Fantastic experience: Very well-run, fun, friendly, and safe programming. Can be as challenging or as scaled as you need.

Fantastic experience: This is not the first CrossFit I have joined, but it is the last. The training, community, classes, and expertise found here are the best in the area. The results speak for themselves. I challenge anyone to come here and not see huge results and surprise themselves with what they can accomplish.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit By The Sea is a great gym, with a great atmosphere, members, and most importantly staff. I currently train MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the past 6 years, and I decided to give CrossFit a try to help with my conditioning and explosiveness. I used to lift weights avidly, and get terribly bored with it. And I was super skeptical about CrossFit. But after training for a little over a month, I can see why people love it. The atmosphere is awesome and the group training pushes you in your workouts. If I were to attempt these workouts on my own, I would not have the motivation. Everyone pushes each other at their own pace, and the staff is awesome and very knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone, regardless of their experience in fitness, to check out this gym.

Fantastic experience: Awesome people, great environment, fantastic workout.

Fantastic experience: Awesome community. Great people. Beginners through competitors will always feel comfortable

Fantastic experience: Great environment, amazing coaches, and awesome programming.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever belonged to, hands down. I'm a newcomer to crossfit and CFBTS converted me on day one. Phenomenal coaches, well structured classes, awesome workouts- and a community like no other.
