Strength Academy

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to 3E crossfit for roughly 3 months now. Now mind you, this is the first time I have ever signed up for a gym membership, so needless to say I was nervous, anxious, but mostly intimidated. Not sure if I would fit in. And not sure I would be any good at crossfit. Coach Ed does a fantastic job! He is personal, down to earth and ultimately and most sincerely, just wants to see you become a stronger and healthier you. He tailors all workouts to your specific needs, and will take the time to show you the correct movements, proper body form and individualize any specific exercise to your current body strength. And that's exactly what I needed. The gym (or box as crossfit calls it) is roomy, the facility is kept organized and clean, and most folks that go there have such a wonderful attitude, it was easy for me to become their friend right away. They are competitive, but in such an encouraging way. The camaraderie has been great, I have made some friends and I enjoy going there tremendously. I also admire coach Ed's passion for what he does, the patience he has shown me and mostly for cultivating such a welcoming environment and fantastic facility in Cheshire for me to become a part of. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: AMAZING!!! If that sums it up accurately...First I will say that I am not an avid Cross fit mogul nor am I a lover of the gym or a workout in general. But I absolutely LOVE 3E Cross Fit. I knew I needed to improve my overall health and well being as my habits were not the healthiest. I was struggling with being consistent on my own but value the importance of my health. I have paid personal trainers for hourly sessions, I was a member local YMCA and another local gym, I had a "workout buddy" and surprise, surprise I still couldn't "get it together". I just wasn't motivated with my hectic work schedule and lifestyle. I heard of Cross Fit and thought it would be "cool" if I could do something like that. Yet, when I looked around at local Cross Fit arenas I knew I would NEVER make it with their expectations, it was quite scary to watch. One lucky day I came across 3E on Google and researched the site. I called in and spoke with Matt who was really friendly, professional and inviting. He asked me questions pertaining to my workout needs and told me to come visit. When I did visit, he recalled our phone conversation and spoke as if we had known each other forever, I was impressed but still unsure. I observed the workout and then met the coach, that was it! I met Coach Ed who's knowledge far surpasses that of ANY trainer I have ever met (and I know quite a few) and his credentials put him in the upper spectrum on those in his field from nutrition to injuries and everything in between. In any given session you can see numerous individuals working doing regimens catered to their needs based on athletic and physical abilities all simultaneously. But don't be fooled, it is still very hard work. I wouldn't believe it if I did not see it myself. The service of the 3E crew, Ed, Terri and Matt exudes enthusiasm, excellence, motivation and dedication. After a few short months I am able to do things I NEVER thought I would be able to do because of the motivation of Coach Ed. I have back, knee and elbow complications and have always dreaded going to workout. I now look forward to going as often as I can and getting my "butt kicked" as coach teaches me ways to make my body strong without further increasing my injuries but instead healing them. Everyone I know hears my stories about the great 3E in Cheshire. I had one friend join and I am working to get others to make the same positive choice. It is such a well rounded atmosphere, its a one stop shop for all of your health and wellness needs. Everyone there is so friendly and inviting and the 3E crew always makes times for any and all questions. I will never stop working out at 3E Cross Fit,(remember I hate the gym). I have now incorporated it into my lifestyle.If I could shout if from the rooftops I would..The 3E Crew is the best that there is, Ed, Terri and Matt are first class. I feel great and am so motivated, excited and driven now that I must say thank you so very much Coach Ed, thank you 3E Cross Fit!!!!

Fantastic experience: I had always hated going to the gym and working out. I hardly ever went to the gym and when I did, I would never push myself. I had no clue what to do. I use to do gymnastics, so I was a custom to getting coached and pushed hard but going to just any gym didn't have that. BUT when you go to 3E Crossfit you get that coaching and you are pushed to work harder and do better. You are not only pushed by the coaches but also by the people working out with you. I started going to 3ECrossfit about 3 months ago and I LOVE IT. Right as I walked in I felt very welcome. Everyone is super friendly and cheers you on during your workout. I never lifted weights before so I was a little nervous at first but after Ed showed me how to do the different types of lifts I was no longer nervous. Throughout your whole workout Ed is walking around to make sure that you are doing everything correctly. When it comes to lifting, he makes sure that you are doing the lift correctly with the right form. From there he has you slowly build up with the weight that is appropriate for you.

Fantastic experience: Training at 3E Crossfit with Ed has enhanced my fitness training and brought me to new levels! I've worked out most of my life and "thought" I was fairly adept in regards to movements and training properly. After being coached by Ed for 7 months now, my strength numbers are higher than they've ever been and I know this is only the beginning. I'm moving well and while I used to hurt myself in the gym every other week, I've been injury free at 3E. The community is filled with lots of positive people that push me harder and hold me accountable for showing up and training to the best of my ability. Classes have all ages ranging from 12-80 and all ability levels but every one is after the same goal which is being a better version of themselves.

Fantastic experience: After the first time training at 3E Crossfit I felt like I was part of the family. Coach Ed and all the athletes are very welcoming and supportive. You never finish a WOD alone at 3E because everyone is there cheering you on at the end. Coach Ed has some of the best knowledge in the field of exercise physiology that I have ever trained with and it shows through his fundamental programing, which fit all skill levels. If you want great coaching or just to improve your life, the three E’s (Excellence, Empowerment and Enlightenment) is for you!
