Trained at Pioneer Valley CrossFit for three months when I was in Western MA. I found the gym, coaches and other members very welcoming and really enjoyed my time there. Looking forward to coming back when I’m in the area again.
Finally hit my one year anniversary here at PVCF and it’s time for an honest review. Going in, I had never attended a single CrossFit class ever before and had planned on trying a few different places before making my final decision. Please note I had some people telling me CF is amazing and the other half warning me not to get hurt. Getting hurt happens when you don’t listen to your body, push yourself too hard, too quickly and if you go against your coaches advice, that is if you have a well qualified coach. My first class was very welcoming and it seemed like I was VIP. As the coaches know all their members well enough to fully comprehend their skill level and me being new, it was like having my own personal session. The atmosphere, coaching and other members were so welcoming, positive and motivational that I stayed and didn’t need to check out anywhere else. I highly recommend PVCF, thank you so much for everything!
Liz and her staff are incredibly welcoming, constructive and patient. Highly recommend to those who aren't far on their fitness journey, those who are uncoordinated and shy. Really wonderful people and atmosphere.
I started at PVCF in Feb of 2020. I was interested in the Queer Barbell class so I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. I’ve been training with Coach Ayn (fitness) and Coach Liz E. (nutrition) continuously since April 2020. With both of their help I have survived this pandemic. Crossfit not only helps with your physical and nutritional goals but also your mental health! The coaches truly care about each client and give you 1000%. They start where you are and help you build from there. They have created a safe LGBTQ space as well! I highly recommend PVCF for anyone who wants to start their fitness journey! (They also have excellent COVID precautions in place!!!)
PVCF is an amazing community. Great coaches. Friendly members. Excellent facility. Expansive and innovative offerings for all levels of fitness and nutrition. It used to take so much discipline just getting to the gym or to yoga. It drained me. Now I can't wait to get to PVCF. I love the workouts and the people there, so now working out is the highlight of my day.
PVCF is my salvation on days when I just need one thing to concentrate on, an amazing coach to keep me safe and help me do it well, friends to support me in my effort and another place that feels like home. You should come here too- all you need to do is be honest with yourself and work hard.
I take classes most days of the week and at all different times. It’s great they have so many time to choose from so whenever I wrap up my work day I can head on over. Open gym area is really nice to work on any bonus stuff. PVCF have an amazing team if coaches and experts to much answer any fitness, nutrition, or general healthy habit questions I have. Thanks PCVF!
I dropped in for a few classes while I was in Northampton visiting family, and I was extremely impressed with PVCF. Both Sean and Ayn dedicated some time to giving me helpful pointers about technique, and I felt welcomed and very comfortable around all of the regular members. The workouts were tough, but the atmosphere made it a ton of fun. I can't recommend this place enough; I give it two thumbs way up!
Great people, great place, great sweat.
Best gym experience Ive ever had. Even if youre a beginner they give you the hands on training you need to succeed and progress. A true 5-star outfit.
Fantastic community of humans. Great coaches.
Great friendly welcoming and inclusive environment with safety and community at the forefront

When I moved to MA from CA, PVCF welcomed me with open arms, and made the transition so much easier. Im thankful for all the friends Ive made - in addition to staying in shape and constantly being challenged! The only way I like to start my day :) #6amcrew
Been going here over four years and couldn t think of going anywhere else. Great friends and community, amazing coaches, and a world class owner make the place a true home away from home.
I ve been a member since 2012 and PVCF is the Best part of my day!! Giving my all with good friends, music, and excellent coaching always leaves me feeling energized and grateful. Thank you PVCF!!

Pioneer Valley CrossFit offers members access to challenging and varied programming for all ability levels, knowledgeable coaches, and a welcoming community that truly has a place for everyone. As a former cardio addict, attending classes at PVCF has pushed me to try new things and made me a much more well-rounded athlete.
Friendly knowledgeable coaches, welcoming community of members, well kept facilities! PVCF has positivity impacted my life in more ways than just fitness!
Most favorite place to work out after a life of searching. I felt comfortable, safe and supported. Excellent programing, coaching and atmosphere.
PVCF is my second home! I ve been coming here for four years and I truly love the community and support I get every time I come in. I ve been able to accomplish some great fitness goals since being here, and look forward to crushing some more in the future.
Great coaches, friendly people. At 48 years old, Im in the best shape of my life thanks to this gym.
I joined PVCF as a stressed out, skinny, single mom who desperately needed something to lift me up. PVCF opened its arms to me and embraced me as another member of its family. The support, cheers, and smiles of the PVCF community lifted me up. I no longer feel like a skinny little girl. I am a strong woman, inside and out. I couldn t have made this journey with out all of you. Thank-you
Happy Wednesday, Shining Amy! I hope you are enjoying the sunshine! You replied such a beautiful message to Ayns post last week. Might you be willing to copy and paste it as a FB or Google review? It was super moving: Wow , it has changed my life, in so many unimaginable ways. From making me push to be a better person, to being inspired by SO many amazing loving humans. For once, it made me believe in myself and know and also confirm that I am truly never ever going to give up. I am thankful , everyday for finding the missing part of my life.
I joined PVCF just to cross train to be a better cyclist. I unexpectedly found a community and home that embraces me fully. And geez do I love folks at PVCF and humbled to be among just amazing inspiring and committed people. I ve developed confidence, doing movements and lifting weights I d never thought I could do. I learned patience and resilience through injuries and setbacks. I learned to love what my body can do and not what it looks like. PVCF showed me CrossFit is definitely a life-long value. Feelings over.
There are no words for what they do!!! It s impossible , said Pride. It s risky , said Experience. It s pointless , said Reason. Give it a try , whispered the Heart. I live this mantra every time I step into the building! I m learning myself. I m pushing past the limits of fear and unleashing potential. I climb, I jump, I kick up! I m doing way more in my 30 s than I ever did in my 20 s and it s all because of you guys!
The best hour of your day
PVCF has provided a very transformative experience for me over the past couple of years. I started CrossFit about two years ago after participating strictly in endurance sports for about a decade. I had no experience with weight lifting and I didnt know what a metcon was. The coaches at PVCF provide exceptional training. They also make all the members feel like family. Ive made some really wonderful friends and couldnt be happier to be part of this community. For anybody looking to better themselves I would recommend dropping in for a class or talking with one of the trainers.
Best gym experience
Amazing coaches. Great community.
Great place .... Start the new me....
As a middle aged , out of shape woman, seven weeks ago, I never thought I could do half of what the younger people are doing or actually stick with going to class regularly. I continually surprise myself when I am able to do a WOD with a less scaled version or with a better time. I certainly have a LONG way to go, but the Instructors are the best people I have ever seen. They push when you need pushing and root you on when you need encouragement. They believe in your ability to improve your skills and help you achieve your goals. But its not only them. The whole PVCF community encourages you so you wont give up. There is nothing like the feeling when you are thinking to yourself, I cant do this and suddenly an athlete from behind yells, Come on, you can do it, and you realize you are not alone. There is just nothing like knowing people wont let you fail. PVCF has truly changed my life. I cant imagine not going to class every day and meeting the newest challenge.
Fantastic coaching. Saying youll always get a good workout is a massive understatement.
AMAZING. SUPERSTAR COACHES, BEAUTIFUL FACILITIES, INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE...PVCF HAS CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE...INSIDE AND OUT.
Pioneer Valley CrossFit has been life changing for me, and I dont say that lightly. At 46, I was living a very sedentary life. Ive been doing CrossFit at Pioneer Valley CrossFit for 1.5 years now, and Ive had nothing but great experiences. I love the intensity of the training, and every single coach Ive worked with at Pioneer Valley CrossFit has been great - attentive with a ton of great feedback and suggestions on improvement. Ive dropped in at some other CrossFit gyms while traveling. Nothing could compare to the programming and coaching at Pioneer Valley CrossFit. Highly recommended!!
Two locations (Northampton and Hadley), both top notch. PVCF is a best of breed Crossfit gym -- every instructor is excellent. The owners pour their hearts into keeping it the best place to work out and really care about the community. Ive been going there for over two years, and Im in the best shape of my life because of their help.
