About Us

                                                         
CrossFit New England is a strength and conditioning facility that develops individuals, athletes, and teams to reach elite levels of fitness through constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity. We are located at 15 Tech Circle, Natick MA in a 5,000 square foot warehouse gym that is 100% CrossFit.  Our training methods produce undisputed, tangible results for all levels of fitness; from children to elite athletes, and everything in between.

Our program efficiently combines the most effective training methods of Weightlifting, Gymnastics, and High Intensity Cardio. There isn't a strength and conditioning program anywhere that works with a greater diversity of tools, modalities, and drills. 

At CrossFit we train incredibly hard; harder than most thought they were capable of.  Everyday our athletes break down barriers and set new standards for themselves.  Our training is intense, and it creates a bond among our members that can't be faked or manufactured.  Together we sweat, we bleed, we expose weaknesses and we get stronger...together.  The community aspect of CrossFit is our greatest strength.  At CrossFit there are no ego's, no room for bad attitudes.  Those type of people just don't last here.  We are supportive, we are competitive, we are strong, we are humble, we are athletes....we are CrossFit.
                                   
Lisa Ray of CrossFit Flagstaff says it all... 
"Why do we love CrossFit so much?  Because it works.  We work damn hard for every bit of success we get from it, but we have been provided an amazing platform from which to work off of, created through the brilliance and vision of Greg and Lauren Glassman. 

Before that, you had Globo gym, where you went in every day, either wandering around the gym trying to decide what to do for a workout that day, or you went into the back of a room in a group class and moved through the motions.  You got bored of that, you weren't pushing yourself or being pushed enough to get the results you wanted or needed, and you went looking for something better.  CrossFit has answered that call for many people.

When you choose to train at a CrossFit gym, you make the commitment towork hard, to be open to learning new movements, to training your weaknesses and making them your strengths, to be a part of a community of people with high levels of integrity and work ethic.  You come in every day and meet challenges you never thought were possible for you.  You go there with that expectation and it's our job, as CrossFit trainers and gym owners, to provide that training, that platform, to carry on what Greg and Lauren started, to push the margins of your experience and help you grow and become stronger - both mentally and physically.

We follow the WOD on the main site primarily, because that programming IS the art and essence of CrossFit.  Some days we aren't going to like the choice of the workout because we are afraid of it, it's uncomfortable in some way, or we don't feel like we are very good at it, but that is the beauty of it.  We become better at those things by doing them.  Every day is programmed.  It seems random, and it is to some extent, but there is a reason behind the choice, and over the long run, that choice works well with the next day and the next.

When you skip it or choose not to do it because you just don't like it, you are only defeating yourself in your overall training.  Come in every day prepared to face whatever the workout of the day is.  Put everything you have into it, no matter if you like the workout or not.  Make it your goal to take it on and learn from it in some way.  That's what it is meant for.  If that isn't what you are looking for, CrossFit isn't for you, and that is ok.  It doesn't have to be.  But if you want to train here, that
is what we do.  CrossFit."
