CrossFit Renaissance

I started at Crossfit Renaissance in May 2016 and could not be happier with joining. The coaches take each workout and make it suitable for everyone from beginners to elite athletes. I enjoy the challenge of every new workout, and seeing my progress firsthand when a workout I’ve done before comes around again. It is one of the most amazing gyms I’ve ever been to, with an inclusive and encouraging atmosphere that keeps you coming back. I’ve even encouraged my husband to join and my son attends the youth program. The owners truly care about all of their members like family and have created an incredible community that I’m proud to be a part of. More...

CrossFit Renaissance is one of the best choices I ever made in my life. I knew I needed a gym that could provide support from both trainers and as well as members which is exactly what I found at CrossFit Renaissance. They offer a variety of classes in nutrition, crossfit, boot camps and even have a Renaissance Youth program for kids and teenagers. Bill and all the coaches have in-depth knowledge in Crossfit, weight/cardio training and have the expertise to help one reach all their fitness and personal goals. All the coaches take the time out to point if your not doing something correctly and how to address it and also recognize when your exceling at something. Also if you are a parent you can bring your little kids as there is a play area and TV to entertain them. The gym is clean and in a pretty convenient location right off of I-95. There is always something interested going on whether it is monthly contests or house competitions. If your looking to get back in shape or need a change, I highly recommend CrossFit Renaissance.

The community atmosphere is unbeatable, the 'Cheers' feeling everyone gives you when you just walk thru the door is phenomenal. From day one, there has not been one day that I wasn't greeted in a truly caring and authentic way from just walking in the door, isn't that the very definition of community? More...

I’ve recently started training at CrossFit Renaissance. I began my journey on my quest to find inner peace. I have recently lost a loved one and struggled to find happiness.

Found myself at CFR while losing weight and inches. Realized that I can do these things that I thought I couldn't. Having coaches and classmates who motivated, supported, encouraged and inspired me, kept me going when I didn't think I had anything left. I've gained confidence in myself. Most importantly, I have met some of my closest friends here! In the 2.5 years that I have been training here, I have met the most awesome people! The Crossfit community is amazing! More...

Update: It's been over a year now and I am NEVER GOING BACK! I have seen such an improvement in my strength & endurance. I still do 'scaled' workouts but I am getting stronger every day, working out with some amazing peopleI have been at CFR for about 6 months. Everyone has been so welcoming & all workouts are scaled to my fitness level. So, although some people have been there for years, we’re doing the same workouts, without the burnout. More...

Best decision I’ve ever made, only regret is not signing up sooner!! I was always under the impression I had to get my butt in shape BEFORE stepping foot in a Crossfit gym and I couldn’t have been more wrong. All works out are scaled to your level but still a challenge and the sense of accomplishment once you’re done will keep you coming back for more! Coaches are super knowledgeable and truly care about you and your goals and the members are second to none. Highly recommend scheduling a “No Sweat Intro” if you’re even slightly curious.. you won’t regret it! More...

CrossFit Renaissance is by far the best gym I've ever been to. Struggling to maintain the motivation to continue to work out, and to come up with new and effective ways to increase my physicality and strength was was a huge factor in why I decided to ditch the tradotional gym. Choosing a CrossFit gym was a scary concept initially, but only because I had misguided notions of what CrossFit truly was. It's been over a year now, and I could not be happier with my decision to join. The constant reassurance, the ever-changing workouts, and the extremely positive atmosphere make CFR a great gym to work out at, and fun environment to be a part of. More...

It doesn't matter what shape you're in, what age you are, everyone is welcomed with open arms.

In January, I decided I needed to do something about my weight. I am not getting any younger and I am the biggest I have ever been in my life. I found myself getting out of breath just walking from the parking lot to my office and I couldn't motivate myself to do anything about it. I was always kind of a loner when it came to working out, so I was reluctant to visit the gym.

After my first meeting I decided to join the 6 week new you challenge. I still wasn't sure I would fit in and I almost left before I even started the first night. I am so glad I didn't leave!

I completed the challenge and feel better than I have in years. Do not misunderstand, I hurt after the workouts, but the more I workout the quicker I recuperate. I am slowly losing weight and getting in shape and for the first time in my life, I am actually losing weight the right way, by eating healthy and exercising.

I attend classes several times a week. The staff is awesome! They are knowledgeable and patient. The encouragement you get from everyone, staff and members alike, is second to none. It truly feels like a family! I cannot believe I actually cannot wait to go to the gym! I recommend anyone wanting to get in shape or just find a welcoming place to be challenged and to workout, CFR is the place! #cfrfamily #cfrstrong More...

I’ve been here for 7 years now!! CFR is challenging in a good way. I was tired of boring running and gyms. Now every workout is different. Some may not repeat for months so your body is always challenged. The staff at CFR works hard and can scale a workout for anyone and anything. Warm, welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable.
Results i have seen: stronger and more conditioned. I feel healthier.

By far the best CrossFit gym ever! When I first moved to Philly i decided I wanted to try out CrossFit, so after doing a couple of "beginner" classes in a few gyms around the city i stumbled upon CrossFit Renaissance, lucky me! The coaches were super helpful and very encouraging. CrossFit was just something I was going to do for a couple of months until I got into a routine and figured out a gym schedule for myself, but it was so hard not to come back, two years later here i am! The members at the gym have been very encouraging and super welcoming since day one, seriously... If you want to get a good work out, need motivation or new to working out... this is where you need to go! More...

It's never easy to get back into a work out regime and it's hard for me to stay focused and wanting to go. After a decision to quit smoking and to better myself and talking to a buddy of mine who attends the gym as well I joined and have no regrets on it. It more than a gym it's more like a family the trainers take time to work with you answer questions and help with what is needed. I'm currently doing group classes and it's awesome how everyone sticks together and encourages one another. The only regret is not starting sooner if your looking to get back into shape with a awesome environment and great people look no further. More...

Joining Crossfit Renaissance was the best decision I ever made! It was the first time I had ever joined any gym or exercise program without a friend or family member. I was terrified. I had no intentions of staying after the six week New You challenge. My results were amazing after just five weeks!!! The coaches are phenomenal. The other members are supportive and encouraging. The workouts are never the same and never boring. You work hard. But the results are worth it. I'm doing things I never thought I could do! I go three times a week and I'm about to join unlimited. The workouts, the people, the atmosphere are all what keep me coming back. I never knew working out could be so much fun! And I never in a million years would have thought I'd be upset and disappointed to miss a class. Your fitness level doesn't matter!!! They will teach you and coach you and won't let you fail! When you reach a goal, a milestone or complete a movement you've feared doing, they celebrate your success with you! If you want results, fun and amazing people....CFR is the to go.First time doing CrossFit and this challenge is awesome! I've discovered I can do a lot of things I thought I could never do thanks to my fantastic coaches, Bill and Ed! They push us to realize that our limits are far beyond what we expect. A great place to learn if you're a beginner.

Nine months in and I could not be happier!!! My jeans are four sizes smaller. I have more energy. I hate missing classes. This is the only program I have done where I am consistently showing up and seeing results. The coaches are phenomenal! The classmates are supportive and encouraging. It's a family atmosphere. The only person you compete with is yourself!! No work out is ever the same. Every workout is tough and challenging. I never thought I would be able to do crossfit. But here I am; loving it and getting better every class. You won't find a better group of coaches than the CFR coaches! Looking for something new that works? Come to Crossfit Renaissance! More...
