I dropped in the for the week, while in NYC for work. The owner, and coaches were awesome. The classes were welcoming and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this spot for a home gym, or a drop in if you're visiting.

New owner is amazing - courteous and helpful. Great atmosphere with a city vibe. All of the necessary equipment is there with the option for a weight workout on the lower level. As a DropIn you have access for the entire day, beyond your CrossFit class

Tom was very welcoming made it easy to do a drop in. Workout was great and the drop-in pass allowed full day access to the gym for which he has a basement area that includes more racks and machines and you can work out while other classes are going on. Will be back in November!

Met the new owner Tom who is the nicest and most knowledgeable guy. He was so welcoming and accommodating with letting me get my programming in. So happy I chose here to drop in and would again in the future. Thanks Tom!

Great experience at older CrossFit affiliate in Hells Kitchen under newer ownership. Really great coaching, environment, and nice expand basement facility. Highly recommend. Favorite spot in NYC for Xfit.

Super friendly people, equipment well taken care of, well organized class, nice place to drop in when in NYC

There is a new owner since the start of 2024 (or around there). I can't speak to some of the old reviews, but we dropped in after a long day of travel and the owner/coach, Tom, was very welcoming and accommodating. He and his staff are enthusiastic about the place and working hard to make the place better than he found it. They have lots of drop-ins, so creating a good culture there has got to be tough (compared to a box where the regulars outnumber the visitors), but I thought the place was great. Lots of equipment options. Far from pristine like some newer gyms, but this has a garage gym feel. We're going back for another class (at least) before we leave. Thanks Tom!

As a Crossfit newbie, I signed up for an intro class which was led by Coach/owner Anthony. I found Anthony to be down to earth, a first rate coach, and an expert in his field. With Anthony's assistance, I performed gymnastics moves I'd only ever seen on TV!

A great CF box/community in the city. Check your ego at the door and follow the program that Anthony laid out for you. He will keep you extra motivated with daily reminder... # of days left till the start of summer. Coaches are super friendly/knowledgeable. I certainly enjoyed my time here and will miss the challenging WODs and fellow CFers.

My first crossfit experience and crossfit home. This place was my 2nd home. I was with CFHK for about 3-1/2 years. When i first started at CFHK, i was flesh and bones. This place was the start of my muscle journey! I felt stronger physically and also mentally. Not only did my muscles grow but so did my confidence. There was a year I was attending the 9:15pm class due to my long work hours. That 9:15pm class was a saving grace. Despite my long work hours, i was still able to get my wod. The best part was spending that hour with my 9:15pm CFHK fam. I was there for pretty much every holiday to workout with the fam. Including Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Memorial Day, etc. The community is authentic, down to earth and so friendly. It was truly an incredible experience. The programming is based on outlaw. Expect lots of lifting, pull ups, progress and laughs. If you put in the work, you will see results. Enjoy!

First review of 2018 goes to CFHK, my new home and substitute for a social life. All kinds of people go to this box, including young, old, skinny, rotund, shiny beginners, seasoned members. So ignore the other reviewer who wrote that she was treated poorly because of how she looked/was dressed. *EYE ROLL* *SIT DOWN YELP BITCH BE HUMBLE* It's been five months now, and I've loved it here since day one. It's something you come to look forward to daily, and yes, I realize how masochistic that sounds. Whether you want to lose weight, get lean, build muscle, become better at CrossFit, or meet hot guys, this is where you do it at. What makes HK different from other boxes I've tried, including ones in California and Asia, is that each class is split into two thirty-minute long segments: Strength, in which you work on strength training, and Metcon, in which you do some sort of ab workout, and then a WOD (workout of the day). The coach, either Anthony himself or one of the part-time coaches, explains each move at the beginning of class, and then you make the magic happen. The coaches give it to you straight, no BS, and answer all the questions I bug them with. They introduce out-of-towners or new members at the beginning. Most workouts are intense, and you build up from the bottom, and scale down if you need. There's a program called Wodify that you use to track your progress, available in class or on mobile, along with heart rate monitors you can wear to track heart rate and burned calories. Honorable mention goes to Saturday classes, which are partner workouts, my fave. There's a small gym section upstairs, where you may stretch, socialize, or do extra work, along with locker rooms, which include two showers. Shower products aren't consistent, but they do have some sort of universal hair/body wash concoction. Bring your own everything else. Unrelated to this box, but what I love about CrossFit is that: 1- you have a personal trainer every single class 2- you learn about form and technique. Over and over and over again. No really, it doesn't stop. 3- it affects your entire life, like diet, nutrition, water intake, posture, basic real-world movements (I can climb a rope now holla!), etc 4- it's quality over quantity (a class is an hour, and the program is done for you, whereas most people who go to gyms meander about for a few hours and have no idea what they're doing UGH FOR SHAME) 5- you join a community (or a cult, a really fit and sexy cult) of very interesting, friendly, ambitious, and accomplished people 6- you're able to track progress in a concrete and qualitative way, which is something you don't do in Tonehouse, spinning, boxing, or zumba (sorry not sorry, bye) 7- your only competition is yourself (cliché but true) No, it's not any more dangerous than any other physical activity, no, women won't one day wake up looking bulky, and no, you're not too young, old, weak, or strong to try it. Peep the Groupon deal they have to give it a shot. Then, come find me in class and let's get better-looking naked together (no really, I need a squat partner, come find me).

While I was in NYC I have visited this CrossFit and was very satisfied with their warm hospitality especially by the owner Anthony Preischel.

2017-08-26T00:00:00.000Z

Camaraderie at its best! I love Crossfit for this reason. There's nothing like feeling like you are part of a positive team environment. The coaches are supportive, patient and encouraging. Even beginners won't feel left out and you can take your time getting used to the Olympic Lifts. Once you get the hang of Olympic Lifts you will see major improvements in your total body fitness.

2017-08-03T00:00:00.000Z

The best Crossfit place in the city. Eric and Anthony are just phenomenal coaches I ever met.

2017-05-17T00:00:00.000Z

I joined recently via a Groupon and had a really great experience so far! I usually don't write reviews unless I felt like I have received a service that was either really disappointing or really above my expectations. Many places don't treat their Groupon customers that well but Anthony is really friendly and so accommodating to everyone. I can tell that he does care about each of the members at the box and is far from one of those money hungry owners that try to squeeze every dime out of the people. The regular coach Eric is also really good. He's very helpful and attentive to everyone in the class. This all means a lot to a new member who is just starting crossfit!

2017-04-12T00:00:00.000Z

I just dropped in here today for the 5:30/6:00 Barbell/Metcon classes. They totally accommodated me even though the metcon class was full. I even received a "Hey everyone, this is Jeff from LA and he's dropping in today....That's always welcome when you're a stranger from out of town. Thanks Crossfit Hell's Kitchen for giving me a great and welcome workout!!

2017-01-25T00:00:00.000Z

Excellent NYC CrossFit. Coach/Owner Anthony is professional, skilled and helpful. Full 1 Hr classes with Skill or strength work + WOD or 30 Min classes aimed at strength (Strength) or Cardio (Metcon). Nice facility w Men and women's locker rooms. Use Bio Feedback w heart rate monitors which is an awesome addition! Would definitely recommend if you're in town and want a drop in!

2016-10-01T00:00:00.000Z

Dropped in for open gym to do the Wodapalooza '17 WOD 5. Anthony, the owner, was very hospitable, and the coaches and members were very friendly. Good equipment, clean facility. I definitely recommend dropping in when you are visiting New York city.

2016-09-06T00:00:00.000Z

anthony's really knowledgable and his classes can be very engaging. i way preferred working out and learning at CrossFit Hell's Kitchen to CrossFit NYC (Flatiron). i'll definitely be back.
