5 Towns CrossFit in Inwood, New York shows 4.9/5 from 16 reviews, and its five written reviews, all from late 2019 and early 2020, consistently describe a knowledgeable, welcoming coaching staff and a genuine sense of community.
A Detailed Account of a Year of Consistent Results
Anton Greenberg's review is the most detailed here: "It's been almost exactly a year since I joined. I couldn't be happier with the box. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable, experienced and attentive - it's not common to get a hit on all 3. Even if you are not as serious about your fitness as they are, you will still see results. Just show up. The gym members are extremely friendly and positive. They help create a real sense of community. If you are currently wasting money on a gym you see the inside of maybe 4 times a month, stop by, try out a class and you will not be looking back." I'd flag that knowledgeable-experienced-attentive framing directly, since he specifically notes it's rare to find a coaching staff that hits all three at once.
An Additional Account of Motivating, Mood-Changing Classes
Marilyn Estrada's review keeps things concise: "Best workout. Classes really push me to get the most out of my workout. I can't wait till my next class. Really changes my day." I'd treat that day-changing framing as a genuine, specific claim about the class experience rather than generic enthusiasm.
An Additional Account of Coaching Attentiveness
Sasha Tsakh's review reinforces the same theme from a different angle: "Great CrossFit box! All the members are super friendly. The coaches are very knowledgeable and pay close attention to the members." I'd note that repeated, independent emphasis on close attention from coaches as a meaningful pattern across separate reviewers rather than a coincidence.
Additional Brief Accounts of Cleanliness and Technique Coaching
Dennis Thompson's review reads "I love this gym! Very clean and organized and plenty of machines to chose from. Definitely recommended," while Marcus Watkins's review credits the coaches specifically for a good eye on proper technique: "Coaches are truly knowledgeable and have a great eye on proper technique."
What's Missing
No review states class pricing or specific schedules. Nothing here confirms current coaching staff, since every written review here dates from late 2019 or early 2020.
Who It's Not For
Anyone who needs current, up-to-date confirmation of coaching staff or pricing before joining, since every written review here predates 2021. Anyone looking for a traditional open-floor weight room rather than programmed CrossFit-style group training, since every review here describes the latter specifically.
