CrossFit Boston Iron & Grit in West Roxbury

Friendly, well-equipped gym with great coaching and a strong sense of community. I really enjoyed my drop-ins.

I’m fairly new so I can only speak about the Body Sculpting class for women, but it’s been great learning and building strength alongside the other incredible women. The gym is always clean and organized and everyone is friendly and encouraging, which helps when you lack hand-and-eye-coordination 🙋🏽‍♀️. I really appreciate the small group classes. Plus, Tina is a great coach! She’s encouraging, warm, and inspiring…Somehow, she always finds a way to make us all feel like empowered, badass women.

The Body Sculpting and Powerlifting class is a great alternative to a full CrossFit WOD. We start with a half hour of fitness movements with weights and then a half hour to work on a barbell Olympic movement increasing weight with each set of reps. Tina (owner/coach) thoroughly goes over each movement, watches our form, and encourages us to do as much as we can. It's truly a no-judgement gym with friendly, supportive people.

Giving a huge shout-out to Tina Ramos at CrossFit Boston Iron & Grit, who has changed my approach to working out. Tina's powerlifting and sculpting class builds muscles and creates community among women of all ages, abilities, and body types- it's incredibility empowering.

I needed something different to get back in shape. I scheduled a few 1-on-1 training sessions with Tina (owner), which were GREAT! Tina is super professional, friendly, helpful and encouraging, and the sessions with her prepared me well for group classes, while being a great workout by themselves! I only had the chance to join a couple group classes with Brian and they were great as well! Everyone is super nice and friendly, and Brian gave me extra attention being the newbie that I am, making sure I’m doing the exercises correctly, providing encouragement as well as alternative exercises when needed. The place is big and spacious and super clean! Looking forward to a successful journey at Boston CrossFit Iron&Grit!

I realized the importance of fitness later in my life, starting in earnest at age 45. I was introduced to CrossFit and have been committed to training regularly for the past 13 years. When I first discovered BIG in 2017 I knew right away this is a special place. The facility is spacious and well-equipped, but the secret sauce is Tina and her team of Coaches. They have created a real community around health and fitness, with a driven, positive vibe that drew me in and has sustained me since I joined. Coaches spend time getting to know each of us personally, adapting workouts as appropriate while celebrating our progress. I have been continually challenged and encouraged in pursuit of my goals, and am in the best shape of my life thanks to BIG. I’m proud to be a member of this community, and strongly recommend that anyone looking for a place to train come check it out.

I have been going to CrossFit BIG for about a year now. I started at the gym about 4 months after having my daughter, and have had an excellent experience getting back into shape. I have been to several CrossFit gyms in Boston (and in other parts of the country), and this is one of my favorite boxes. The facilities are good (gym equipment, separate bathrooms/showers, individual cubbies for each athlete), parking is easy, and the owners have taken COVID precautions very seriously. All levels are welcomed and adjustments are easily made for top athletes and newbies alike. I have found it challenging to get motivated to do significant workouts on my own at home - BIG has made it much easier for me to get through COVID isolation. The gym has a friendly community atmosphere, but participating in the social aspect is not needed to feel included.

I can’t say enough about this gym. Amazing coaches, clean and very well maintained facility, great class offerings and schedules, and the best community of members anywhere! I’ve been doing CrossFit for over 5 years now - the only time I’ve stuck with any kind of routine my whole life - and much of that credit goes to CrossFit BIG, its owner, Tina, and her incredible team of coaches. Tina goes above and beyond by continually investing in her team and members - from new equipment, continuing education and training for the coaches, and giving back to the community and to causes near to her heart. Favorites: Olympic Lifting - Saturday mornings with coach Miguel. This move-at-your-own-pace class is focused on proper form and technique. Miguel is truly amazing. Sweat - Tuesday, Thursday (Tina) and Sunday (Brian) mornings. A nice change of pace from the high intensity of CrossFit, and a great supplementary class in my routine. Whether your focus is injury prevention, improved movement and form, or recovery, this is an incredible option. 💚💚💚💚💚
