I’ve been a member for almost a year now and I just love this place. No matter what day or time I go, I always look forward to my workout because all the coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help you progress. The community of members are all inspiring and supportive. I am my fittest and healthiest I have ever been and I credit improvements in other aspects of my life with my experiences here at Crossfit the Rack. More...

Today I celebrate my third year anniversary with CrossFit The Rack and I can't help but put a huge smile on my face as I look back at the amazing journey these coaches have come with me on as well as all the lifetime friends I have made. Each day is different and they offer something for everyone. As of this post I am even doing an individual design program that has helped me move on from a small lag and reaching more of my goals. For those that are nervous about taking that first step, just take a leap of faith, you wont regret it! More...

I came across CrossFit the Rack, while working out at Gold’s Gym. As an observer on the sidelines, I was a bit skeptical of CrossFit, and then I started training one-on-one and gradually joined the group WODs (Workout of the Day). I learned about the benefits of functional training (which is the heart of CrossFit), strengthened my core, and improved my flexibility. The group WODs are scalable and challenging, but the camaraderie amongst the CrossFit the Rack athletes makes the difference. The coaches are dedicated to supporting your fitness goals, and the equipment is clean, of good quality, and well maintained. More...

If you live in northern NJ, I'd recommend getting yourself over to Crossfit The Rack for 3 reasons: everyone is welcomed regardless of your age or fitness level; you will always get encouraged to keep at it by the community here; and you will usually leave a little sore, but often with a smile! The coaches have 50+ years of combined fitness experience to help you regardless of the shape you are in, your age, your injuries or your goals. Probably the worst thing you can do is to read this and then do nothing so ... meet with one of the great coaches at CFTR and get started. More...

The Rack saved my life. Nothing feels better than, or is more gratifying, than a CrossFit workout. It's not a gym, it's a second home. I've worked out all over Bergen County and even worked one on one with trainers...paying an arm and a leg more often than not. This is the first time I felt like I was getting MORE than I paid for. Try it, I promise you'll love it! More...

Everyone is a critic.  There are gyms that look the part that have nothing to contribute.  To each their own, if your choices are elsewhere. Dan is a very knowledge coach.  I'm glad to have found this gym, and have gained nothing but progress and knowledge from their instruction.  The programming is sound, and you can decide if it is what is for you as it is listed on their website, just as many other affiliates do.  The facility is perfect and well equipped.  Location is ideal.  The coaches exhibit their sincere interests in helping people find progress in their fitness, whatever their goals may be.  From what I've heard of Crossfit, I had different expectations, and find that these coaches do it correctly.  Every affiliate is different, and everyone's needs may follow.  For me, Crossfit The Rack serves my ambitions well, as I witness, everyone else who is a part of this family.

Before coming to "Crossfit The Rack", I was just doing traditional weight training and cardio. I would get to the gym and begin my cardio, while reading on my Kindle. Don't get me wrong, I read more books than I have ever read, while sweating. I needed to find a way to incorporate both the physical and mental stimulation into my workouts.  This is where "The Rack" comes into play.        I have been at "The Rack" now for over two years. Since joining, I have become faster, stronger, and do not hate running as much. The owners Dan and Pat are very knowledgeable in the Crossfit realm. The other coaches they employ are wonderful, too. Jody, Dan D., Mike, and Sue are always cheering you on, or helping you in your form.       Not only will you get a mental and physical workout at "The Rack", but you will also have a great time doing it. At times, you may say to yourself "what was I thinking," or "I pay to be treated like this?" But, at the end, you'll be thankful that you accomplished such a challenging workout. You may go home tired, hungry, and sweaty, but you will a better person for it.       You also get to workout with other great people. They will push you, as you are pushing yourself. You are not just joining to make yourself better, but you are also joining a community of people who will become your friends. "Crossfit The Rack" is the place where you will get both the physical and mental stimulation you are looking for in a workout.       Come to "The Rack" and see for yourself how much fun exercise can be. After awhile, you will come to the notion you made the right decision. I know I did. More...

As of the date of this review, I have been coming to CFTR for about 2 months and could not be happier with my experience. CrossFit is challenging and gratifying, and the environment at CFTR makes it a perfect place to work out . The owners, Dan, Pat, and Justin have created a community that is welcoming of all CrossFit skill levels. Their coaching style is hands on and supportive, which helps a ton when you're trying to squeeze out 50 or 75 burpees or learn handstand push-ups. The fact that CFTR is located in a Gold's Gym is a major plus in that, as a CFTR member, you are entitled to use certain of Gold's facilities, including the showers (a rarity for most CrossFit boxes). This place is nothing short of top rate. More...
