Beast River Fitness - CrossFit^® East River

Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit at Beast River with zero experience and was welcomed into the community right away. The best part of my day is coming into the box and working out with fellow BR members: sharing film recommendations and travel plans as we stretch; cheering on others as we finish the WOD; and encouraging one another after a great workout. The supportive community at Beast River motivates me to challenge myself to get stronger and makes me anticipate going to the gym for a WOD. I never thought I’d love class-based workouts until I joined BR. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. The gym has great equipment, and belts available to help you get that PR ????, and the tight-knit community is what will keep you coming back! BR is a fun, inclusive environment. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: I can't tell you how much I loved Beast River while I was a member there for 5+ years. Beast River is a lovely community, where the members & staff are friendly and genuinely care about one another. It's a real 'locals' gym where people know your name and will say hi when you run into them in the streets. It's one of the reasons I stayed living in the neighborhood for so long. From a fitness and skills perspective, I progressed considerably at Beast River. The coaches are attentive and will give you good cues and progression recommendations so you can build your skills. I started not being able to do a pull up and left being able to do bar muscle ups, handstand push ups, double unders (even got one or two triples!) and all sorts of other fun party tricks. My cardio fitness improved greatly and I never felt (or looked) better while going there. Whether you're visiting and need a friendly gym to drop into, or looking to explore new avenues for fitness, Beast River is a great choice. Enjoy!

Fantastic experience: 2021 marks my 6th year as a member and I’ve never been more impressed with the team at Beast River than in the last year. From the high level of safety precautions around Covid-19, to the adapted workouts outdoors and with limited equipment, the coaches and staff kept it going for all of us. And now that we’re back in the gym, face masks and small classes with lots of space and cleaning are the name of the game. It’s always been a part of our culture to look out for one another and during the pandemic, even more so. So grateful for the gym, coaches, staff, and community!

Fantastic experience: Beast River fitness is the place that introduced me to CrossFit. I was a person who never would have tried it - absolutely no CrossFit for me. However, a friend brought me one morning and I’ve come almost every day since then. It was important to me that it is clean, covid-safe, and that the coaches are knowledgeable & helpful. It consistently hits every single marker! The coaches know what they’re talking about, they’ll scale every exercise for you if you need it, and it is CLEAN! 100/10 would recommend - thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Beast River has been a staple of my New York community since I moved here over two years ago. I have been a daily attendee since my first week here. The gym was incredibly adaptable during COVID while also ensuring we had a safe environment. The team and community is the best! can’t recommend highly enough.
