What are people saying about CrossFit New England?

"CrossFit is everything I am looking for in a workout.  It provides both strength training and a cardio workout in one.  The classes are organized in a way that each individual can challenge themselves and work to their intensity and level of fitness.  Camp is diversified and each class is very different yet equally challenging.  I have never done the same circuit twice which keeps the hour interesting.  Ben's knowledge of fitness and nutrition make CrossFit New England better than any other fitness program I have tried."

"At 41, moderately athletic and very active for all of my adult life, I have sought to be more 'lean' and 'functionally strong' for years.  On my own and with other trainers, I was not able to really progress.  Working with Ben for 2 years, he has guided my workouts and eating to help me achieve my goals.  I lost 20 lbs and in the process really redefined my body in the past 4 months by following Ben's plan and committing myself to the goal of being strong and healthy. The greatest satisfaction for me is the self confidence I have in my physical condition - I can say that at 41 years old I am in the best shape of my life."

"Working out with Heather is like nothing you've ever done before...it's like a total tidal wave of physical exertion! First, the exercises themselves are unique, yet simple, and as you are completing them she's right there with you...cheering you on and encouraging you to do more, to give it more. And for Heather you want to! Second, I always have complete confidence that she'll keep an eye on my form...not only to avoid any injuries, but also to make sure that I'm getting the best conditioning from that particular muscle group that is being used (usually she finds ways for your WHOLE BODY to be working all at once!) And third, in the CrossFit program each workout is a complete and total body workout - by the end of the hour you are in a state of complete exhaustion - and feeling on top of the world! Where else would a group of people pull heavily loaded 'tire sleds' across the lawn one minute, and then push a Jeep around the outside of the building another?!? There is nothing like the feeling of knowing you have taken your body through the cycle of organized and active stretching, a well-planned and exciting boot camp cycle with stations and innovative exercises, and then completed the hour with conversation and stretching again - finishing with a huge smile on your face. It's an addictive kind of 'healthy high, and I feel so lucky to be a part of it."

"CrossFit New England has been just the kick that I needed to realize my “healthy living” goals.  I am 41 years old and have been practicing some form of physical fitness on a regular basis since the age of 15.  Personally, I feel better  than ever since I joined the ranks of CrossFit. Although I am not a very competitive athlete,  I push myself to new limits every time I attend a session.  Ben’s extensive knowledge about fitness and nutrition, is not only impressive, it is inspiring.  He practices what he preaches and is a great  example to his new and old clients.  Thanks to Ben’s training and quiet encouragement,  I was able to complete my first marathon this past November.  While I did not break any records, I will never forget the “high” that I experienced when I crossed the finish line.
I can honestly say that I am hooked on clean living and have never felt better in my life. 
Thanks Ben!"

"CrossFit New England has shown me measurable physical improvements. A leaner physique, increased flexibility, and aerobic endurance are just some of the benefits. Before I tried CF, I was stuck in a weight lifting routine at the local gym, not making many strength gains.  Now I get a more efficient workout from a 1 hour CrossFit class than I did from 3 sessions at my old gym.
Ben is adept at keeping the classes focused and the people motivated so that every session is unique, productive and fun. Ben also included a realistic plan for healthy eating habits to keep me on track between training sessions. If you want an intense mixture of aerobic fitness and unique weight training in a world-class training facility, then you have come to the right place. "

"One of my New Year's resolutions was to be stronger at the end of the year as compared to the beginning of the year. To help accomplish this goal, I started training with Ben and Heather at their CrossFit New England in January and I have seen great results in only a short period of time. For example, last year when road bike training outdoors with my friends I was always towards the back of the pack struggling to keep up. This year I am leading the way! CFNE is a great mix of strength and cardio benefiting the whole body. I feel great physically and mentally, and have so much more energy throughout the day as well. Others can see the results as friends and family have all commented on how much stronger I look.
Ben and Heather are great instructors who keep the classes interesting by constantly mixing up the routines.  They provide positive energy while helping each individual accomplish their personal goals. Their knowledge in the area is extensive as shown by thier incisive explanations to the questions asked by other participants.
And on top of it all, they are great people who make the classes fun.  What more can you ask? - enjoying yourself while getting healthier and stronger!"

I am a 45yr-old mother of four, and I began working out with Ben almost 3 years ago because I wanted to improve my strength and balance on the ski slopes. Well, let me just say that I've attained those goals, but so much more. Not only can I keep up with the rest of my family on the slopes, but I've participated in two triathlons as well. The encouragement, guidance, and training provided by Ben is of the highest caliber and it's rare that I meet someone so dedicated to his work and mission. My energy level is at an all time high and I feel a sort of physical confidence when I dress. What more could a woman approaching middle age ask for?! !"

"... what differentiates this work out from other fitness classes is that it targets cardio and strength training that is both challenging and fun.  The classes are very intense, yet you can work at your own level so that whatever your fitness goal is, you can achieve it.  One of the best things for me is that no 2 classes are ever the same- they are literally different every single day - you never get bored!  One day you may be doing an obstacle course followed by relay races, other days you may be running laps outside followed by weight training.  Ben knows his stuff and knows how to keep you motivated!"

"My experience with Ben has been fantastic. He has custom-designed a workout routine that is challenging, yet fits my busy lifestyle. Since I have been working with Ben, my body has completely changed for the better. I have more energy and I am in the best shape of my life - at age 47!" -

"Heather is one of the nicest, most generous, fun, energetic, and encouraging people I've ever met. If anyone can make working out and being healthy fun, it is her. She is very well educated on not only the exercises themselves, but also health, fitness, and well-being in general. Her classes can speak to any and all fitness levels, and I promise you, even a person in great shape will be challenged by her classes. Her exercises are simple, yet extremely effective, and nearly all of them involve more than one body part. After years of athletics, running, exercise classes and weight training, her classes are by far the most effective, and the most challenging. She is always there to provide encouragement, support and advice on how to take your fitness to the next level. After each workout with her, I feel great, and truly feel like I've done something great for my body. She just has a great way about her-- and really has the ability to make exercising a part of your healthy lifestyle. I have compete confidence in her„and would trust any recommendation she gave me. Heather Rocks!" -

"I am a mother of three daughters. I was a competitive athlete and I am a coach. Like many parents I easily lost sight of my goals in order to take care of my family. Over two years ago an accomplished athlete and wonderful friend inspired me to train with Ben. Out of shape, over weight and self conscious, Ben helped me overcome my insecurities and set a plan in motion for my work outs and eating habits. Since then, and now with CrossFit, I am proud to say I have dropped four sizes and I am more confident, healthier, stronger and happier. BenÕs CFNE provides a challenging hour of great training in a motivating, fun environment. His positive attitude and sense of humor are incredibly contagious. I suggest to any one who would like to better themselves to join CrossFit New England, Its never too late! " -
