Excellent local gym with great equipment and best in class staff. I went in with an injured back and the level of personalized support I've seen has been remarkable. Highly recommend.
I’ve been working out at Norwottuck CrossFit for one year now, so decided it was time to write them a review. I walked into this gym for the first time with zero CrossFit experience and no expectations, and today my only regret is that I hadn’t started down this path sooner. The gym is always clean and well equipped, and classes and workouts are challenging and well planned, regardless of your fitness level. The best part, however, is the coaches. The coaches don’t ever seem to have a bad day, as they are ALWAYS helpful, friendly and accommodating. They have offered me invaluable advice and encouragement over the past year, and I am very happy with the results. I’d like to personally thank them for helping me recover from chronic shoulder pain; my shoulders haven’t felt this good in years! I’m grateful for having Norwottuck CrossFit in our community, and if you’re looking for a gym, this is the one!
What a great box! The coach was fun, the WOD was even more fun! Clean and bright gym with great staff! A definite drop-in if you're in the area!
Joining Norwottuck CrossFit was the best decision I’ve made in years!! I LOVE this place and can’t speak highly enough of it. The expert coaches are Incredibly informed and they meet you at your level (from beginner to advanced). They modify and scaffold for your specific needs on the spot. Amazing community where true warmth and care are felt and expressed.
This is one of THE best crossfit gyms I have ever experienced, actually gyms period!! Staff are so experienced and full of useful knowledge that they share professionally but with a friendly manner. There is such a welcoming environment and its not about competing with everyone (unless that does float your boat) it's about being the best version of you, I love that focus. Equipment is great, small class sizes and time slots across the day. Love it.
I've been doing crossfit for ten years and I have my Level 1 and 2 coaching certificates. I move around often for work and have had the pleasure of being a member at 5 different yet amazing gyms over the years. Unfortunately, this is the first gym that I am writing a negative review for. There were several red flags along the way as I was doing my research but I chose to ignore them (one small example, you can drop into a CrossFit gym and try it out with no charge before spending several hundred dollars on a membership, not the case at Norwottuck). At the heart of it, I believe that they care more about making a dollar than about their athletes. They run classes with programming that is not CrossFit programming (the first four workouts I did the first week were all 40 plus minutes long...). The rail trail is right out their door, and yet in my time there, there was only one workout that included running (the rest of the members chose to use a machine inside, I was the only one running outside in the beautiful weather). They are still attempting 'social distancing' and athletes are sequestered to their small area with the coach trying to yell loudly enough for everyone to hear. They attempt to run two separate (non CrossFit) programs at the same time, so the gym is not a cohesive group moving together and the coach has their work cut out for them-trying to run two separate workouts at the same time leads to-no fault of the coach-poor coaching for everyone. The prices are competitive with the area, aka expensive, but good luck if you have to move last minute-they will keep all of your money with no apology. This Amherst/Belchertown area is dying for someone to come in and run a quality no frills CrossFit gym.
Amazing community and people. I have been hitting all my fitness goals since I started going here. What I like the most is the small fast talking sessions that we do before class, as they offer a great way to meet everyone and hear new thoughts and great advises! The coaches give great small tips that helped me a lot to become better!
Norwottuck has been and continues to be an excellent CrossFit gym in the sense that when you come here there is no intimidation from coaches or other participants. Everyone from day one has been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and encouraging. The coaches are very active in making sure that you are able to get the most out of your time here. For example if you are struggling with a movement, a coach will quickly show you another movement so that you aren’t wasting time floundering and are able to get a good workout in. Highly recommend for all skill levels.
Dropped in for a couple days. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and the facility was clean and well equipped.
10/10
Incredible community, fantastic coaches and always a ton of fun. Norwottuck has the knowledge and experience to help you achieve your goals, whether they be nutrition, performance, lifestyle, and anything you can think of regarding fitness.
If youre looking for a gym that makes you feel like home, this is the place to be.... From the coaches to the community owners Rob & Heather have created, there is truly nothing like this gym anywhere else in the world. No matter where I go, I will be coming home to Norwottuck!
Currently doing the online program. I couldn t be happier with the workouts and, moreover, the attention of the coaches!
CrossFit for all! This gym is so welcoming to all levels of fitness. The trainers are knowledgeable and supportive. The members are friendly and fun.
Amazing coaches with a sharp eye for correcting form and keeping everyone safe. With workouts for beginner to professional-level athletes, the programming will constantly challenge you no matter your fitness level!
This is the place you want to be if you are looking for a good community of like-minded people who arent trying to be the Worlds Greatest CrossFit Athlete. Each workout has two options: performance and fitness. Fitness is the lower-intensity option for people who want to work on fitness but dont necessarily dream of doing handstand pushups or rope climbs. Rob is an outstanding person and leader and he meets people where they are in terms of their fitness goals. I never feel pressured to do anything that I dont feel comfortable doing.
Started going to this gym post-COVID. It s been a joy to be getting back in shape. My favorite part of this gym is the coaching- there s lots of education on injury prevention and working around existing pain points. I love CrossFit and this is a place that fosters long term membership.
Norwottuck is a great crossfit gym. Sure, its not the cheapest, but the community, the attention to programming, and the personalized coaching to help you achieve your goals makes it worth it.
Love coming here. The coaching staff and programming is top notch, if youre looking to get fit / stronger, this is the place.
Amazing coaches and community. So welcoming to all, including those new to CrossFit or lifting/working out. They meet you where you are, take time to teach form, offer modifications, and get to know everyone at the gym. Significantly improved my strength while I was doing college athletics :)
Rating was supposed to be 5
An incredible gym with knowledgeable and caring coaches who are available inside and outside of the gym to answer questions and offer help. This place has changed my life and the community within it is like no other. I have been dealing with a back injury and never once had to miss a workout because Coach Rob and Coach Heather spend the time to reprogram a workout for me with options that are completely pain-free. So thankful for this gym and would recommend it to anyone of any fitness level!
Fantastic place!
Love Norwottuck CrossFit! I am appreciate they do offer the 5:30am class, which could give me enough time for my school schedule. Love Heather! She is professional and patient. The other coaches are very nice too! Recommended~~~

Excellent CrossFit gym!! Coaches are wonderful. They are so knowledgeable, patient and friendly. No matter your age or skill level, you ll feel comfortable at this gym.
Been with Norwottuck for past one year. I started out because I injured my knee and wanted to strengthen my quads and overall strength. There are lot of negative spots lights on CrossFit due to the high intensity workout which if done wrong might lead to injury. I was definitely skeptical before joining. But after joining norwottuck realized the only reason people get injured is because they do not have the right coach to guide them. Rob, Heather, Dan and other coaches are extremely knowledgable and you can always rely on them. They monitor each and everyone at the gym and also tell you beforehand if it is a heavy set to call them so they can monitor you close and help you out. They alter my workout if I have pain in the knee. They will definitely ask to push yourself but only that far that you do no break anything in our body. Norwottuck also offers a great community of people. You instantly feel the comfort as you enter the gym and they are also constant feed of encouragement. At end of gym session you feel worn out but highly contended and satisfied. If anyone wants to join CrossFit but is skeptical as I was I can vouch for Norwottuck. Highly recommended!
Love this place. Would give it six stars if I could!
