I've never really been a gym person, but my brother was raving about Novem for years so I decided to give it a shot. It has been a life changing experience -- not only in terms of getting in better shape, but actually enjoying the process.I can't say enough good things about Novem. From personalized on-boarding to amazing instructors and even kids classes, it truly is a gym for everyone.

Novem is more than a great gym. Sure, the coaches and staff offer excellent workouts that keep me engaged in my fitness journey, but it's really about the amazing community of people that go there. Being a member has brought me closer to neighbors, introduced me to new friends, and made me feel supported and seen. The environment is inclusive, and the down-to-earth coaches will give you modifications if you are just starting out or nursing an injury, while also encouraging you to challenge yourself when you need it. I'm so grateful we made the switch to Novem when we moved to Fishtown, both for the physical benefits -- I'm in the best shape of my life -- and for the people we've connected with and who will remain lifelong friends. Highly recommend this amazing place!

I have been a member for maybe 10 years? It's always a good experience at the gym. Every coach and member pushes you to do your best and even when you can't, they're still there to cheer you on. There's also community events like game nights, skill workshops, classes with your kiddos, etc. If you want a community experience then welcome to Novem. 💪🏾😊

The best gym! Novem was my gym for 10 years, and I felt so comfortable there as they have created an amazing, inclusive community. The workouts are challenging (in the best way) and the coaches are fantastic. They even guided me in scaling workouts during pregnancy and postpartum, and everyone is so supportive when you hit a big lift or crush a workout. You couldn't pick a better gym to be a part of in Philly

I’ve been a member at Novem for many years. The staff and management are great, the facility is spacious and equipment is constantly being updated. But more importantly the place has an open welcoming vibe. Beginner and advanced athletes can find a home here.

I’ve been a member of NovemFit since the early days at what is now 2 Robbers, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. The workouts are challenging, well-programmed, and scalable for all fitness levels. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in helping members improve. What truly sets NovemFit apart is the strong sense of community. Over the years, the owner has become a genuine friend, which speaks volumes about the culture they’ve built. The gym is welcoming, supportive, and never feels intimidating. As a parent, I especially appreciate the kids classes, which my children enjoy. NovemFit is a place where both individuals and families can thrive.

Going to class at Novem is consistently one of the highlights of my day. I’ve been regularly attending class here since September 2023, shortly after moving to Philadelphia. I’ve been a daily CrossFitter since 2017—this is the 6th gym that I’ve been a member of, and it is absolutely my favorite. The community here sets it above. The coaches and members keep you motivated and accountable.The knowledgeable coaches will scale the movements to meet you where you’re at, but the workout will still challenge you. Before every class, they cover the strength and workout movements, providing helpful tips. The fit programming includes a good mix of barbell strength training and cardio. If the barbells are intimidating, the bootcamp workouts provide a great mix of gymnastics movements, kettlebell/dumbbell strength training, and cardio. Beyond the CrossFit-style and Bootcamp classes, weekends include barbell and endurance classes. The gym has monthly Saturday classes focused on nutrition or specific movements like rowing or gymnastics. As if that wasn’t plenty, members of Novem have access to partner cycling, yoga, and Pilates studios. The gym even gets together for an occasional Novem Sips happy hour.Lately, numerous studies have touted the benefits of strength training. Come join our gym where you will actually stick to a routine that will better your health. The workouts are tough, but we are cheering each other on, laughing, and sometimes even dancing. Post workout, I typically am smiling, saying “that sucked” (it was challenging), and “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Come join this amazing community—you won’t regret it. Join me in the morning and I’ll be cheering you on throughout your workout!**Only available when not singing or drinking coffee

I have been a member of several CrossFit gyms now and Novem is by far my favorite. From the programing to the community, Joe runs an amazing gym and can't recommend it enough.

As a business owner in the fitness industry, I truly admire what Novem has built. The Boot Camp class was challenging (hello, glutes!), the facility is beautiful and impeccably clean, and the community is warm and welcoming. You can feel the intention behind everything they do.

This gym is a few doors down from me and has a real sense of community. People are kind, encouraging, and there’s plenty of laughter mixed in with the work. The flexible schedule and options between Boot Camp and CrossFit make it easy to keep showing up - for all levels

Highly recommend Novem for anyone looking for a CrossFit gym in the Philly area. As a former athlete trying to find a new outlet after my sports career, I was desperate for a new fitness community. Novem has been an incredible place for me and fiancé. People from all different walks of life are in there and it’s an awesome gym vibe. If you are looking for a place that will get you into great shape and have fun while doing it, Novem is the place.
