Reebok CrossFit 5th Ave

It’s a small store, but they carry a surprisingly large inventory. When I went, there was a large sale, so we got some good deals. The back wall is full of Reebok sneakers. The employees were really helpful and were super nice and funny. They seemed genuinely wanting to help, and weren’t pushy about people buying stuff.
The only downside is that they have one dressing room only, so you may have to wait a while.
If you’re part of Crossfit, you get a 15% discount, which is awesome. Also, no sales tax in New York.

I dropped in while on a business trip and ponied up the $ 30 for the class. The box was larger than I expected for a gym in the city. It was clean and the equipment was in good order. The staff at the front desk was welcoming and the instructors were attentive. I was there for a 6:30pm class and it was pretty packed.

Best crossfit box I’ve been to in the world. Friendly people, great coaches and challenging workouts that’ll give you good pain. I’ve been going for three months… and if I decide to stay in NY, I’ll definitely keep going. If you eat right and follow these WODs… you’ll be fit in no time.

This review is for the reebok store (shopping only)
Stopped by with my friend after our pon de flo class to look for very specific work out pants. They didn’t have her size on display, so one of the very handsome sales associates checked the stock room to see if they had any in inventory. Unfortunately they didnt have anyin stock and the sales associate offered to call another store to see if they had it. He was was able to get the other crossfit to hold the pants for my friend. Karl was also very great and most professional.
He was telling us about a competition that they do every month and the top winner gets a $ 25 gift card at the end of the month (I don’t know if the prizes change each month).
Bottom line great store great employees!

In town for work so I dropped in this week, Bobby and the crew here are great, good programming, solid form critique and an overall good energy from everyone. When in town, this is my box moving forward.

There are the usual complaints about crossfit. Instructors aren’t skilled enough, they don’t give you enough attention which may lead to injury, overly expensive.
Enter RCF5TH ave where you get none of that nonsense. All the instructors, and I mean every single one of them are so attentive, are masters at what they do, and really care about your progress and your safety. Each WOD they walk around extremely attentive to what you’re doing and they provide the right type of information, motiviation, when you need it.
They create a great sense of community. What I particularly enjoy is how they inject fun and humor into WODs. Give it a try — you won’t be disappointed.

I ended up having to leave because it was getting way too crowded and the locker room is tiny without enough storage or showers. Also, they started charging $ 3 per towel use which just seems absurd to me. There are some great coaches here (Bobby and Meghan are awesome) but some are a bit disinterested at times and the size of the classes makes it hard to reap the benefits of the good coaches.

Having had a not-​so-​great experience dropping in to another NYC CrossFit gym a few years before, I have been insanely skeptical of the gyms in Manhattan. Some overcharge you, some program workouts that aren’t that great, and some are just straight rude. In any case, my experience at 5^th was absolutely none of that. Coaches Bobby and Lauren were insanely nice to me, made sure I had all of things I needed for the workout (even replaced some plates for me mid-​workout that had cracked!), and were patient in showing me some of their warm up drills. I can’t recommend dropping in here enough, my only regret was that I didn’t come in more!

I’ve been doing Crossfit for a few years now, but never done a drop in. What better place than Reebok Crossfit 5^th Ave. I emailed them to find out their drop in process and received a response almost immediately. When I arrived, the staff was extremely friendly and, again, walked me through the process and how to jump into the program. I was impressed with the size of the box considering it’s in the heart of the city. The trainers introduced me to the group and the group was extremely welcoming. We had a strength portion followed by the Metcon. During both parts, the trainers were also helpful and encouraging, even being a drop-​in like me. Overall, I was very happy and plan to drop in again the next time I’m in town.

This crossfit is great! It is right next to the reebok store and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. I didnt have time to workout but a coach gave me a tour and told me i am always welcome! I definitely plan on working out here one day

I’ve been a member of this gym for a little over a year now and I continue to have nothing but great experiences.
The facilities are excellent with respect to space and equipment. Everything is plentiful and well maintained. The few times I’ve found a piece of equipment near the point of failure the staff always took it out of circulation and dealt with it.
Speaking of the staff, they’re great. Everybody I’ve met has been both extremely friendly and very helpful. They are always welcoming of both regulars and drop in members.
The workouts are always clearly explained and all questions (no matter how silly) are answered.
I’ve visited a couple of other gyms while traveling and so far nothing has been able to stack up to this place. I will continue giving them my money with a smile on my face.

This box is large and impressive, and the trainers are very helpful, motivational and educated/​experienced. I started here after not having worked out for about 5 years, and they are very attentive to my needs — giving me suggestions on not over-​doing it and how to improve in every way. I am very happy I joined.

I was in town for vacation, but needed to finish my last open workout so I searched for a box to do my workout in. I emailed them to ask when they would be running the open workouts and if I could drop-​in for the workout. They emailed back in a day or two and said just to stop on by on Friday when they would do the open workout all day.
The drop-​in fee is a bit steep at $ 30 dollars. But I guess that’s what you have to do when you’re on 5^th ave and affiliated with Reebok. The street level is a retail store and the box itself is downstairs in a basement. They have neon green accents and it looks like something out of the Ninja Turtles. I let the coaches know I was visiting from out of town and they were happy to welcome visitors. Liz and Jared were running the classes.
The class I was in was pretty large. I would say about 20 plus? There were two heats so there was almost enough room for everyone. Doing burpees over the bar were a bit cramped, but nothing I couldn’t get around. Everyone was encouraging and helpful.
One thing I didn’t like though, was the floor wasn’t quite stable. Probably from wear and tear and dropping bars, there were some uneveness in the flooring and quite squishy. Just be careful where you stand when doing oly lifts.

5 Stars!!! You couldn’t ask for a more Centric, Friendlier, or better equipped Box. Within walking distance from Grand Central Terminal — and major NYC Tourist Attractions. The Staff were all Great, they were welcoming and enthusiastic about getting all of us that were visiting in the best shape! I’m in love with this place, and will Return every chance I get! Everything I’ve heard from others who have visited before was on Point — if you’re into Crossfit and want to find a home to train while you’re in NYC, this is your Place ! =)

The good: Excellent trainers. Fun members. The bad: Way too crowded. Both on the floor and in the very small locker rooms. The facility is a victim of their own success. I went there for three months. I really wanted to continue, but just too crowded. When spending over $ 200/​month, you would hope that a towel would be included. Even upscale gym Equinox — a full service gym, has more to offer for the price. I want to come back, but you need to work on the bugs of overcrowding.

— I emailed them through their website three weeks ago and have not received a response.
— Their website does not reflect cancellations of the Intro Class when special events are going on. I attempted to go today (¹⁰⁄₁₂) and when I arrived they informed me there was no class. Their schedule on their website is static. It does not update daily/​weekly to reflect changes. Unfortunately, there was nothing on the front page to highlight this cancellation for potential, new members eager to get started!
— The Flexible Membership Freeze Plan in the contract differs greatly from what you’re told in-​person. It’s much more flexible according to the reps at the front desk, but the contract is very limited in comparison. It’s a huge enough discrepancy to warrant concern when signing a contract.
Overall, I don’t feel like I received the customer service I was expecting from them. I received conflicting or a lack of information when reaching out to them and with the amount of money being paid, I was hoping for something more structured and responsive in the least.
I look forward to updating this review when I can finally attend class and sign-​up!

Not all Crossfit gyms are alike and everyone has a different appeal to different people. Reebok Crossfit 5^th ave. did not appeal to me. It’s a big well equipped gym with seemingly excellent trainers although to my taste not my place to work out. Its dark, below ground level and there is no natural light or fresh air. The athletes I met are very serious and a little intimidating. These guys are serious and a little more serious than I am. I have been doing Crossfit for over a year, I’m not that competitive and I don’t expect to get big muscles and ultra conditioned; my expectations are just not as high as the athletes I met here.
I think it’s a great place, it’s just not for me.

Small store but in a prime location. Had to stop in because I’m a CrossFit junky. Have to give it some props for having different gear then from both Reebok online and the CrossFit store. Hard to come by CrossFit gear nowadays so let’s give this place some business so we can get a few more stores popping up places!

Crossfit when it was first birthed was always a grassroots, «belongs to the people» thing. Run by «moms and pops» and each gym in different region has their own unique culture.
So when Reebok opened a few of them in the U.S. I was a little leery of them. How can a big corporation decide to open a Crossfit gym?
But was I pleasantly surprised. Our class was run by Bo and Meg. They ran us through warm ups and went through the movements. I wished they gave us a little bit more time to work with the weights because we were doing a «Hero» wod. The trainers were high energy, funny and kept the classes fun. Kind of like you are doing a soul cycle class.
The space here is beautiful and spacious. They have plenty of equipment. This boxes colors are green. So you see a very cool association with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which gets bonus points for it. Then they also have a reebok store with Crossfit Reebok apparel. I liked and I can see myself going back to them whenever I’m in the city,

Crossfit training style speaks for itself!
Great open training facility! Huge space with a lot of equipment and different areas. Really great and knowledgeable trainers! A large array of timings and open gym!
The only problem I have is paying a registration fee. I don’t get it if you commit for a long term why would you have to pay such an arbitrary fee.
