New Species CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: My experience at New Species CrossFit has been nothing short of phenomenal. As a lifetime “bro” lifter I needed to get out of my self-programmed rut and find a better way. Joining NSCF four years ago is one of the best decisions I’ve made health-wise.The community here is incredibly welcoming and supportive. The camaraderie is off the charts. It's easy to make friends and find workout partners who motivate you to push your limits. If you're looking for a place to challenge yourself and achieve your fitness goals, I highly recommend New Species CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: After the close by gym closed its doors, i scrambled for several months jumping between boxes trying to find the best programming, coaching and most importantly the community, then I found New Species. I was reluctant to go there at the beginning because it's relatively far (20 minutes drive each way without construction). Now it's part of my daily routine. Josh and Marcella really created something special here, besides the amazing programming, workouts & coaching, when you walk in the door you feel you're part of the tribe. New Species CrossFit helps you to be the best version of yourself physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: What Josh and Marcella have built at CrossFit New Species is nothing short of exceptional. The value here is truly unmatched. Having visited over a dozen boxes in different states, I can confidently say this is the biggest gym I’ve been to, with the best hours, programming, and culture. I joined during a tough time in my life, and this gym became the perfect place to blow off steam. The space is massive, with enough equipment and room to easily run a class of 25-30 people, while still leaving space for others to do their own thing. Normandy Park and its trails across the street add an extra element for outdoor training, especially in the summer. The best part? The people here are incredibly friendly. Quick to offer a fist bump in passing between class times or a word of encouragement while fighting for those last reps of a chipper... I love the diversity of skill level, age, gender, and race that thrives here. Oh, and did I mention they offer Strongman, GoRuck, Olympic Lifting, and Yoga classes?

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great coaching staff. Got a chance to connect with the owner who is a Games athlete and get some feedback. 10/10 would run it back again. In fact, I go every time I visit!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Love the people.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Coaching is unbeatable, and the programming is old school CrossFit. Huge space for classes, open gym, yoga, strong man classes, and multiple platforms for olympic weight lifting classes. The amount of equipment and all the various machines is incredible. Outdoor right setup as well. Great community of members too. This gym will become your family!

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my decision to join this gym! Such great staff members who were kind, caring, and willing to help me get back in shape!

Fantastic experience: Family oriented gym! Definitely the perfect gym for bringing the little one.

Fantastic experience: Great environment great venue and the best coaches 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: Great community of people. So much more than a crossfit gym! Josh & Marcella are as good of coaches AND people anyone could ask for. Grateful to be a part of this gym and hope this finds someone considering!

Fantastic experience: Best training I have ever had. CrossFit is very difficult but New Species has done a great job at fostering a positive and welcoming environment that is conducive to everyone’s fitness levels. That being said, be prepared to get after it when you walk in the door.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in at New Species while I was in town for a week. The coaches and members made me feel welcome and it was so nice to have a place that felt a little bit like home. The entire community was friendly and supportive. I loved the warm-ups and programming, and their facility has everything you could need. I highly recommend this CrossFit gym, whether you are a new or experienced athlete. Thank you Marcella, Jake, Josh, and all the members who took a minute to say hello :)

Fantastic experience: Family owned biz, plenty of classes, great equipment, good people. I bring my son to kids CrossFit, he loves it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at a traditional gym for years, and my workouts had gotten stale, so I wanted to try CrossFit. I was a bit nervous and hesitated to do it for a long time but I’m happy to have started at new species CrossFit. I think this is the perfect place to start the owners/coaches are young, friendly, and eager to help and get people started. Although I had no idea what I was doing, they got me up to speed and into workouts right away. They also got my girlfriend who hates working out to start coming to CrossFit and now she is hooked and gets angry if we miss it. As I said, I worked out a lot in the past, but these workouts have improved my cardiovascular endurance, immensely in the short time since I’ve joined. I’m getting consistently incredible workouts, and never leave the gym without being drenched in sweat and with a smile on my face. In addition to regular CrossFit classes, they also offer kids classes, gymnastics, and yoga. And other alternatives like something called ruck, which is like an outdoor exercise regimen. They have a lot of offerings for classes like 4 classes in the morning one at noon then like 5 at night so there is availability to go before after or even during work and if the classes don’t align with your schedule you’re able to go do the workout of the day on your own time. The owners and coaches really make this an incredible experience and the diverse age range and levels of fitness in participants makes sure everyone will fit in no matter their prior experience. If you’re hesitant I highly recommend dropping in for a class and giving it a go.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible trainers. From beginner to advanced, they all have a great angle and advice to get trained correctly. I have recommended multiple people to New Species and all have agreed it is the best box in the area by far. Keep up the great work Josh and crew!

Fantastic experience: High energy atmosphere with good music, excellent coaching, motivation, and instruction. Lots of fun here and lots of people to meet. Everyone brings something from their own background. It all comes together and everyone picks up a new adventure. I picked up running, triathlons, and rucking(I _never_ ran before I joined crossfit). Some friends do marathons, some Tough Mudder, some play football, etc. The place has excellent equipment that is always in proper working condition. Ropes, sleds, racks, Olympic bars for men and women as well as practice bars, tons of bumper plates, steel plates, benches, safety spotter arms, dip belts, rowing machines, CHALK etc... It's kept clean. The bathroom is very clean and professional +1 can of Febreeze. Some place to store you coat, shoes, and keys etc. when you arrive. As long as I have been here the gym has been growing. Improved coaching, added equipment, seminars, special classes, yoga, open gym. Almost all of the additions have been free of charge. If you haven't tried crossfit, don't wait. Very encouraging environment where you get the help and attention you need to continue to perform at YOUR highest. I look forward to every class.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while in town for a hockey tournament. Members were welcoming and coaches know their stuff; heard one even say "Burpees will make you a better person." ;-)

Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit box you will come by! Coaching, programming, comraderie amongst athletes. This place is where you want to workout! Whether you are a newbie to exercise or a professional athlete you will have your butt kicked (in a good way) at New Species Crossfit!

Fantastic experience: The coaching and atmosphere is great!! Highly recommend this box to anyone looking!

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome gym with knowledgable and friendly staff. If you're looking for the best CrossFit gym in Michigan - this is it!

Fantastic experience: Great box. Josh and his dog (love a gym dog!) ran great class and on time. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Literally obsessed with this gym! The owners are badass, ran by an incredible couple! The crew that works out there is amazing. Lots of class times throughout the gym. They saved my life. I am so grateful for my time there as I went from flab to less flab in just a few weeks!!!

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best crossfit gym around.

Fantastic experience: Best box in the country

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! The coaches are always helpful and really push you to perform at your best regardless of skill/experience level.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff

Fantastic experience: I've moved quite a bit and have been a member of several CrossFit gyms in Michigan, and this one has been by far my favorite of them all.

Fantastic experience: I travel back and forth, and New Species has been an excellent gym to work out at when I am not at my home gym. The instructors are friendly and greet noobies such as myself with open arms. And will scale the work outs for any fitness level. Customer service and facilities are second to none. Look forward to going back next time I am in town.

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM EVER! Absolutely love this place. The coaches are amazing and will teach you everything you need to know, so don’t be afraid to join if you’re a rookie! Josh and Marcella (the owners) are absolute savages and they’re also the nicest people ever and will make you feel very welcome. Would recommend to anyone no matter what fitness level you’re at!

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM EVER! I recently swapped gyms because I didn’t feel I wasn’t being pushed enough. On the first day, they give you a free workout session. Very intense! The trainers are awesome and very hype during the workouts. They let you choose any weight you want but also make sure to watch your form and let you know if you need to drop down a weight because your form might be wrong. I started going their during the COVID pandemic, they do a great job with making sure everyone cleans the equipment after they’ve used it.

Fantastic experience: Great box, ran by awesome people. Came here fairly new to Crossfit and felt at home right away. Quite a spectrum of athletes as it should be.

Fantastic experience: That's what I call CrossFit box. Awesome energy!

Fantastic experience: Excellent equipment. Workouts are tough, plenty of support from coaches if needed. Happy to be here!

Fantastic experience: I have been part of this tribe for going on 6 years and words cannot express the sense of community Josh and Marcella give and the appreciation I have for this box. I drive 30 minutes at 5 am, just to come to this box and will continue to do so! When I started I had never touched a barbell, let alone pushed sleds or climbed ropes. I was nervous that I would fail and was worried I would not fit in. What I learned was that no matter an athlete's ability, their strengths or weakness, Josh always has a spot for them at New Species Crossfit. Josh and Marcella's attention to each athlete and their needs are spot on. As someone who has been through a broken foot, orthopedic surgery, and a pregnancy with these two, the programming was always modifiable to my needs. Josh and Marcella- Thanks for an amazing, inclusive place filled with amazing coaches!

Fantastic experience: Coming from no athletic background and lower back pain , I was super nervous about joining Crossfit. But the way all the coaches in New Species Crossfit helped me with everything, I felt so comfortable learning and pushing myself. Everybody in the community is supper welcoming and help you learn something new all the time.

Fantastic experience: Did some work in here the other day super clean lots of equipment saw some serious stuff going down

Fantastic experience: Joshua and all his staff are super friendly

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Such a great, empowering, and positive environment! Marcella, Josh, Meaghan, Liz, and Gretchen are all phenomenal motivators! We cannot wait to go back, and our girls are looking forward to becoming official "little dragons".

Fantastic experience: Great place! I've been part of it maybe for 2 years now, when a friend came to workout with me for a drop in, the first thing he said was "this place is bad a**"! Good people, great coaches and the 5:30am class rocks.

Fantastic experience: This is a BIG crossfit gym with a lot to offer anyone

Fantastic experience: Outstanding crew with a great CrossFit gym

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this box for a while now and can say that the owner Josh, Marcella and the coaches and its members are all awesome. Clean facility, accessible location and most importantly, a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend it for CrossFitters of any level. The programs and people are great and the coaches are supportive, respectful, and most importantly careful with training. I have had great results. I'd recommend this experience to anyone looking for something that will actually transform their fitness.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with great trainers.

Fantastic experience: A serious gym with some of the best athletes Michigan has to offer.

Positive experience: Good place nice facilities!

Fantastic experience: I've tried out a lot of boxes, and most of the boxes in the area. I can say without a doubt that this one is the best that I've ever been to. All the trainers are incredibly dedicated. A lot of the people who go here aren't your typical gym goers. The people here have big goals that they want to achieve, and they all want each other to achieve those goals as well. This is a place to go not only for phenomenal workouts but to also learn and become a better athlete. Josh Hunnicutt is the owner and runs a good portion of the classes. His motivation is unmatched. I've shown up completely dead and this guys energy is just contagious. Stop looking at other boxes. Go here.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a workout. I dropped in on the Saturday morning ruck work out when in town with a friend. The staff was friendly and at the end of the workout I was pretty smoked!

Fantastic experience: Heather was awesome!! We dropped in on a class and she let us in without any issues. She explained the movements thoroughly and it was a hard workout!
