CrossFit^® 617 - Dorchester

Fantastic experience: CF617 has been a truly amazing experience! If you are looking for a diverse, inclusive community of fitness-minded people, this is your place, no matter what your current level of fitness is. To understand why CF617 is so much better and different than a 'gym", consider the well-known phenomenon of people making New Years' resolutions to get in shape. They join a gym in January and start off strong but most have quit by Spring. Why? They walk into a room with hundreds of pieces of equipment and have no idea where to start, or what to do every day. They fall into a routine of a bit of weight-lifting and then some cardio on a treadmill or bike. BORING. No coaching. No improvement. So they give up. It is TOTALLY different at CF 617. You show up for an hour 3-5 times a week for HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). It is a structured class with an instructor. The instructor guides the class through a routine of warm up, stretching, technique, and then there is usually a strength piece followed by the WOD (workout of the day). Although each class follows the same general format, in 9 months every single class has been different. And every single class builds on the classes that have come before. In each class you may have CF veterans who have been doing it for years mixed in with brand new members. All of the workouts and exercises are "scalable" so that everyone can do them. And before you even start your first group class, everyone goes through Elements: a 1:1 introduction to CF. I am 61 years old, have run the Boston Marathon and played collegiate rugby. 9 months into CF and I am far stronger, fitter and more flexible than I have ever been in my life. The motto of CF617 is "Be Kind. Be Humble. Be Strong". The coaches and the community are incredibly supportive. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
