Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great supportive atmosphere even for someone just learning like me. Each class can be modified and everyone is cheering each other on. John & Tracy are incredible coaches who really care about each person. This is the best community & unlike any other gym I’ve tried in the area (Lifetime, Orange Theory, Gold’s Gym).

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to CrossFit Toy Box for just over 6 months now and have been absolutely loving it. The workouts and programming are excellent. All the exercises can be modified depending on your fitness level, which was helpful when I first started. The owner, John, as well as the other coaches, are all knowledgeable and friendly. The gym also has a wonderful community, as all the members are welcoming and supportive. What I've loved most, is that I've been able to push myself each workout without getting hurt, as the coaches and seasoned members have consistently helped me with my form. Before coming to the gym, I had been experiencing lower back pain due to working a desk job and a poor exercise routine. A couple weeks after joining and coming 3x per week, I noticed that my lower back pain was gone, as I began to strengthen the surrounding muscles. And it has felt great ever since! I would highly recommend CrossFit Toy Box to anyone, at all fitness levels. You'll get stronger, look and feel better, and will have fun while doing it!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Toy Box is a great place for the workout. The entire group (both coaches and members) are amazing and give warm welcome to all new members. I never felt like a newbie here. All the coaches are excellent and give personal attention to every member during the classes to get the form right. I feel very positive after the workouts. Strongly recommend this place for anyone who would like to try out crossfit.

Fantastic experience: CFTB is a great environment to Get After It. Great community and camaraderie; no egos and everyone just works hard. The programming is fantastic and the trainers are incredibly helpful and encouraging.

Mariaconcetta Natale 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son started a trial class and loved it. We signed up for the first three months and so far so good. We did sign-up during the funnest time of year (Christmas) and were welcomed with open arms by the owner John as well as the Toy Box Kids trainer. She is great with the kids, friendly as well as encouraging. Definitely recommend trying it out. I jumped right into a class and it has been a while since I've done some any type of workout. My form was corrected as to not hurt myself as well as encouraged when I modified (had wrist surgery).

Elizabeth Huth 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Came to try it out because I happened to win a free trial, ended up staying because the community and the workouts are beyond awesome! I’m so happy to have found a place I can get to the next level at, both mentally and physically.

Prasaadi Dangolla 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at CrossFit Toybox for almost a year now. Everyone is welcoming, supportive and understanding of everyone's else's fitness levels. During the pandemic specifically, the entire staff was deligent and provided all members with online workouts and kept everyone motivated. Now that gyms are open and the box is allowed to operate at a limited capacity, the staff has made sure to go above and beyond to make sure everyone stays safe and more than 6ft apart during workouts. Everyone gets an assigned "pod"-a taped off area where each member will perform the workout. Masks are required for entry, sanitizer is provided and required before entering the gym. Masks are required to be worn at all times other than when a person is in their pod. Wipes and disinfectant spray are provided to wipe down quipment after every workout. Members also mop their respective pods after working out. I feel completely safe going back to the box and working out with the other members at a safe distance. I would encourage anyone having doubts to come visit the facility themselves!

Syed Naseruddin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I decided to do something different from what I have done during the past 30 years or so as far as physical training, hardcore bodybuilding workouts. CrossFit Toybox offered me an outlet to do something different. Having ended up in a wheelchair 3 years ago and 4 months of therapy got me back on my feet but I didn’t let that stop me. I kept working out but we got hit with a pandemic which forced gyms to close, not good for the mental state of someone like myself who had been working out for the past 30 years. Once CFTB opened for outdoor training I reached out to my friend Donna who owns the facility and said sign me up. There was no hesitation from me, the type of training offered is exactly what I needed to get out of my comfort zone and try something different. The instructors are very knowledgeable and care about their members’ progress. The workouts were tailored to fit my needs to get me back to fitness. With the option of pre-scheduling classes I held myself accountable for showing up for class every day that I scheduled it. Showing up to every class I was committed to getting back in shape at the age of 50. I’m not done yet. If you are looking to get in shape no matter the age, no matter the level of fitness, if you can commit to taking care of yourself in a well equipped facility with a caring staff then you really need to check out CFTB in Raritan, NJ.

BW Lax Dad 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training in various capacities with Donna and her staff for over 8 years. I am one of the original members at CFTB. Donna is hands down the best coach in the area, offering much more than the Crossfit mantra. In fact she has trained many of the coaches in this area of Central NJ. She works with each member individually, fixes and tweaks their performance. If you go to her with an injury whether it be from sports or just getting old, she gets you back on the right track safely and with the knowledge to reduce injury in the future. She has since day 1 trained her staff the same way. CFTB was the first box in the area. There is a saying " Being the oldest doesn't make you the best, being the best makes you the oldest" and it is true with CFTB. I recommend CFTB to anyone looking to better their life. I am anxious to get my kids training there son!!

Dianne Henderson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at the Toy Box for almost six years, and I have loved everything about it! I never thought I would be able to do a CrossFit style work out, but I quickly learned that with the right coaching and all of the inherent support, people of all ages and abilities can participate and flourish. I have gained not only physical benefits from working out at the Toy Box, but have also learned about nutrition and an overall healthy lifestyle. And, I have made wonderful, likeminded friends there. Most recently, I have been quite impressed with all of the initiatives that the staff has undertaken to keep the clients safe and healthy during our national health situation - from virtual classes to equipment lending to strict sanitizing and social distancing protocols. Highly recommended.

Zoe Nelson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Toybox is fantastic. I agree with the other reviews about professionalism and cleanliness and friendliness. There is a whole body focus that I have not expirenced previously. We work out hard. Form is important as is safety. I recently started personal training and it is phenomenal. CrossFit Toybox is the greatest workout in the state of NJ. We do hero WODs every Friday and Saturday is a community day where all are welcome for a free class. CrossFit Toybox is unique because an older, less fit person like me can work out alongside a Marine and we both have a super tough rewarding g workout and say great job” to eachother at the end,

CrossFit Toy Box

Zoe you're crazy & we love you! I'm so glad we get to have you in class and help you work towards your goals. collectively we hope to help you dream bigger & see what we see - that you are a strong and truly amazing woman capable of more than you ever realized!

Erica Stanoch 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Over the years I have been going to CrossFit Toy Box and I am consistently impressed with the professionalism of the coaches, the focus on proper form, and the friendliness of all the participants. Given my work schedule I'm not the most consistent member but I've never felt pressure to be there more often other than the fact people genuinely miss you. The coaches do a great job explaining things; even though I will have done a move many times before they are always happy to re-explain how to do it properly - in other words the coaches at this box don't assume everyone knows how to do everything properly, even with consistent members. I feel very comfortable at this box!

CrossFit Toy Box

Erica you're just a pleasure to have around and we are happy to explain whatever you need... always! So happy to have you back!

Carol Lippai 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to CrossFit Toy Box for over 7 years. I started going 3 times a week and now go 5/6 days a week. It is the best way to start my day. Prior to joining my only form of exercise was walking, now I enjoy running, lifting , kettlebells, rowing . While I may not be able to perform all the movements Donna and the coaches always have a modification. I feel safe and know that Donna has my best interest at heart.The community and encouragement from other athletes is exceptional. Give it a try , you won’t be disappointed.

CrossFit Toy Box

Carol, you're a legend at Toy Box! Your progress over the years has inspired everyone who sets foot in the door. I'm so grateful for your trust and impressed with the new level of fitness & confidence you've been able to achieve. xoxo

Daniel Tassitino 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I work in consulting and was a member of this gym community for about 2 months while on a project. Everyone welcomed me and truly met me where I was at. The coaches always emphasized that we all have our own unique journeys of fitness and truly made a welcoming environment. This is a great gym and community and you will grow here with your form and strength. Will miss going here for sure.

CrossFit Toy Box

Daniel - hope all is well in your neck of the woods. If your work ever brings you back this way we'd love to see you again! Meantime, you're always welcome to join us for a virtual workout!

Nate Darling 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I walked into CrossFit Toy Box almost two years for a free Saturday class and I haven't looked back. Between the extremely knowledgeable coaches and the fun workouts, I have transformed my physical appearance as well as my mental attitude. I had been going to a gym for years with little to no direction...I can walk into CFTB and know that the coaches will have a great hour of work setup I don't have to think about anything.

CrossFit Toy Box

You're doing amazing things Nate & it's been awesome watching you continue to get stronger. Keep it up!

matt grisham 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is one of my favorite gyms i have been to across the country. The coaches are patient and willing to put in The time with individuals that need help. They truly care about their gym and classes and what the people attending are getting out of the class. I cant wait to go back.

CrossFit Toy Box

Matt it's always a pleasure seeing you. Thank you for trusting us with your fitness while you're in town! Looking forward to the next time you're here!

Fantastic experience: This is a great box! I’ve dropped in twice, and each time the workouts have been excellent, and the coaches have been great. Coach Donna was super welcoming and ran a great class that totally smoked me. I’ve dropped in at a lot of places over the years and CrossFit Toy Box is legit, I recommend it if you’re in the area.

Maria Magsalin 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over a year. A great community of coaches and members who support each other to reach their goals. There is a "friendly competitiveness" among the group that motivates everyone to work harder. The genuine camaraderie in this box is what makes it a great place to work out, hang out and get stronger.

Sheryl Ann 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Small and personal gym with the feel of a larger gym. The trainers and owner are all really nice, supportive and inclusive. Crossfit always gets a bad wrap for injuries but the trainers care more about form and working out safely than manhandling weight.

Kalinda Solomon 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had been working with a personal trainer for 4 years when he suddenly wasn't at my gym anymore and I was lost. Crossfit Toybox was super welcoming from day one, and every coach is absolutely amazing! They make sure movements are performed correctly and safely, and I always look forward to class!

CrossFit Toy Box

I'm so happy you found us! Your work ethic, consistency & focus on constant improvement always impress - xoxo!

Tracy Fennimore 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Update: 9 months later. Cannot believe the definition I have all over. I love my arms! They look amazing In sleeveless tops and dresses. My abs are getting so much better too! My functional fitness is awesome! I can carry in all the groceries on my arms and hoisting the case of water in Costco is child's play! I highly recommend Crossfit Toy box to anyone at any fitness level. They can work with you and your personal goals! Love the personal touch that the trainer's give. They watch for proper form and adapt workouts as needed. I joined after I completed the 8 week challenge. I am amazed at the changes I am seeing in my 50 + year old body!
