I went there almost every single day for more than five years, and it was definitely my favorite community. The programming is excellent, and the people really meant a lot to me, It was really hard to leave.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I am really enjoying being a member of Break Ground Fitness. Owners Bryan and Erin do a fantastic job keeping the gym clean, programming challenging and varied workouts, and making sure members have options when a movement needs to be scaled. They genuinely care about their members and are always willing to help.The coaches are also knowledgeable, encouraging, and great at helping you get the most out of each workout.I’ll admit, I don’t always feel like going to the gym, but I’m always glad I went. I leave feeling stronger, accomplished, and with a much more positive attitude than when I walked in. That says a lot about the kind of environment Bryan, Erin, and their coaching team have created.Highly recommend Break Ground Fitness to anyone looking for a supportive, well-run gym with great people!

Fitness should be challenging, rewarding, and fun. Break Ground offers a mix of strength, cardio, skill, and conditioning in a group setting with members of all fitness levels. If you have trouble finding motivation working out on your own, training with a group and knowledgeable coaches may be just what you need!See you in class!

The programming at Break Ground Fitness is thoughtful and has a purpose. Bryan and Erin are amazingly involved in all aspects of the gym and hold themselves and the gym to a high standard.I started coming here three years ago 3x a week, not knowing I would soon be coming daily, nor that it was going to change my life and lead to life long friendships. At 40 years old I am without a doubt in the best shape of my life and I get to start my day with a group of like minded people just trying to better themselves. Break Ground Fitness is a huge part of my life and I couldn't imagine my life without this community.

63 yo female review: I’ve been a gym member for 6 mos now and am really impressed with the owners, staff, facilities and other members. Everyone has been very supportive! I was a 10 yr couch potato so at the beginning, I was worried that I couldn’t perform the days workout schedule and the owners and staff make sure I’m comfortable with a workout scaled to my abilities. The other members have been terrific! I’m getting stronger and having a good time! Come on, try it!

Break Ground Fitness is amazing! Brian and Erin truly want the best for every member. They take the time to care, correct your form, and ensure you’re using proper alignment so you can stay safe and become stronger. They also offer fun challenges that help us level up our health and get the most out of our training. I’m so grateful to be part of this supportive gym community! 💪❤️🔥

I’ve been a member of this gym for 9 years now. Over those years, it has become so much more than just a place I go to work out. It’s become a really important part of my life.The people and the community are, without a doubt, my favorite part. Over the years, I’ve made some really great friendships and met so many people who have pushed me, supported me, and made coming to the gym something I genuinely look forward to. There’s a really great sense of community here, and that’s something Erin and Bryan have done such a great job creating.I also really love the programming. It’s challenging, there’s always something different, and there’s a great mix of strength, conditioning, and skill work. As someone who has been a member for a long time and is also a coach, I’ve gotten to see how much goes into the programming and how well it can work for people at so many different levels.One of the coolest parts is getting to raise my son in this gym and watch him grow up around the same people who have been such a big part of my life. He knows the coaches, knows the members, and feels right at home here. It’s pretty special to get to share this place with him.Nine years later, I still feel really lucky to be here. I’m grateful for the people, the community, and the fact that I get to start my day here every day!

I can't say enough good things about this gym. Since I started a little over a year ago, it’s been my go-to outlet to destress and take care of my own physical and mental health. Lately, it’s become even more special because I’ve started getting my young kids involved. The coaches, members and environment are incredibly welcoming to all fitness levels and support growth. It’s amazing to have a space where I can look after myself while setting a healthy, active example for my kids. 10/10 recommend.

My teens have enjoyed the classes at Break Ground Fitness. As a mom, I appreciate that there is an instructor helping to guide them while they develop their skills for using the equipment safely and creating an effective workout routine.

It takes a special group of people to welcome a middle aged mid fit newcomer into the 5 a.m. class. The programming is great as are the coaches. They have this special way of seeing each person for their capability and bringing it out of them in a safe and positive way. I think picking up the phone to text for information may have been the best thing I could possibly do for my current and future self. I would recommend Break Ground to anyone, even parents looking for an incredibly healthy and supportive activity for their kids. My 9 year old has been celebrated for his strength and included in a way no other activities or sports have. This is a life foundation that I truly believe everyone should be doing. None of my botox, fresh claws, or salon appointments have ever made me feel this good about myself.

So, I think i have written 1 review in my entire life....so i will give this a shot but you know....This gym is fantastic! I started with a push/voluntold from my wife. I started at a 0500 class in Jan 2023. Honestly, the class was overwhelming for a newbie given the class seem to know the movements, were lifting a decent amount of weight, and knew each other. Especially overwhelming as the ladies were all doing well. Despite the overwhelming feeling, One person said just keep coming....then another....so...I kept coming.After a few months, i am now hooked and continue to today where i pretty much go every day (during the week generally at 0500 and weekend at 0900) and feel bad when i cant/dont. It sets me up for the day for sure!. I believe in balance in life. Despite being a newbie....crossfit if you do it right has an awful lot of balance to it (stretching for first 10-15 min, then strength, then cardio'ish). To compliment the class balance, the community is really hard to beat anywhere in Connecticut or in the USA. The community of support....community of getting better and working form & not necessarily the weight...a community that feels like home daily that you don't want to leave (some linger - ok i do sometimes :))....a special place bar none.The programming from Bryan is the best in the state and probably broader, the coaches, and the community that Bryan and Erin have created keeps me coming back to achieve fitness goals + be part of something...a community. Hard to beat ....really hard....here in Connecticut or elsewhere.Like shawn said - I have also seen myself get better/transform...(example: I started at like 100# deadlift and within a year increased safely up to ~300#...deadlifts are so good for you....admittedly so tough for us tall people as it is a long way to go). The community has me wanting to be there every day and well i generally am. Beyond me, my wife + 2 kids also go multiple times a week (that is right kids too!). This community is so special that it is a family that is so so welcoming to kids with kids classes 2-3X a week, incredible. Well done by Erin and Bryan!I also, highly recommend this community for anyone. It is all about getting better no matter your age / concerns / etc.#Sweetheat (Rich Sykes)

Since the first day I started at CrossFit Playground, I've had nothing but great things to say about it. The coaches work to help each person meet their individual goals, and all the members of this gym are so friendly, and instantly become like family. I've achieved more than I ever thought possible, and I owe it all to CFPG!

2024-03-16T16:33:36.808Z

Incredibly welcoming gym that supports any ability level. The community aspect encourages me to come as frequently as possible and work as hard as possible. This is the most fun, engaging, and challenging activity I have ever encountered.

2024-03-16T16:23:00.204Z

Our kiddos love the Cross fit kid program! Each week is something new and Coach Erin is wonderful with them!! We really enjoy going each week to see how confident and strong each of our children become! We highly recommend this program!

Amazing owners, great coaching, and very friendly and helpful members.

2023-06-22T23:23:25.680Z

This gym is fantastic! The community that Erin and Bryan have created has me keeping up with all my fitness goals. The athletes here are committed, friendly, and work so hard! I'll be honest, I was extremely hesitant to join a CrossFit gym, but everyone here is focused on safety and proper form as priority. This along with how incredibly welcoming everyone is, really made me feel like this was home for me. I have now been at the gym for 1.5 years and have seen my body transform and my strength increase significantly. The coaches have worked to improve my form on lifts as well as gymnastics. This community has me wanting to be there every day, so I know I will continue to push my fitness goals. I highly recommend anyone thinking about joining a gym to stop in and see Erin and Bryan!

The two people who run this gym are amazing as well as all of the coaches. It doesn’t matter if you have been doing CrossFit for 10 years or 10 days, everyone gets treated the same. They are very positive and always push you to better yourself. They support any and all fitness goals you have, whether it is to become a CrossFit Champion or look and feel good about yourself. Hands down the best gym to be apart of.

I just celebrated my 60th birthday. I have been working out for 40+ years at various bodybuilding gyms, long and middle distance , running biking and racquet sports. I am in my fourth year of working out a CrossFit Ground and I am in the best shape of my life thanks to Bryan , Erin, all the coaches and fellow members that have helped me get to where I am today !

Erin and Bryan have created the most welcoming environment to explore and expand your fitness- no matter what level you begin at! All the coaches are so encouraging, and make working out so positive. The crossfit playground community is the best!

2023-03-20T23:59:51.110Z

I am so grateful for CFPG! I was so nervous and so out of shape when I started here…now CFPG is an integral part of my mental and physical health. I am so much stronger and more confident in my physical abilities thanks to the programming and coaching. My kids love CrossFit Kids too! The gym is a community that my entire family enjoys and benefits from. If you join; you will not regret it!

2023-03-20T22:42:25.223Z

I joined CrossFit Playground 3 years ago when I was completely bored with my workout routine. I had been a runner for years but just couldn't sustain the motivation any longer to keep up my running routine. I finally took the plunge and joined with a push from some friends who had been members for years. Each day is a new workout, a new experience and a new chance to become stronger and fitter. The members and coaches are encouraging, motivating and are always pushing me to move beyond my comfort zone. I love this gym and my only regret is not starting this fitness journey sooner!

2023-03-20T22:36:10.320Z

I’ve been working out at CrossFit Playground for about 18 months and my fitness has been transformed. The programming is so good - I (and so many other members) continue to make regular gains. Also form and skill breakthroughs due to the excellent coaching. And a fun social atmosphere. Can’t say enough about our gym!

2023-03-20T21:42:02.446Z

Incredible community asset. These folks are amazing and put the time and energy and good spirit into the community. Well done good people .

2023-03-20T21:28:30.299Z

Been doing CrossFit for 6 years. Playground is my 3rd gym (and visited out of state ones too). By far the best. Coaching tailored to each person’s abilities and goals whether general fitness or competitive. Re facility: plenty of equipment, cleanest gym and great people. All ages and abilities welcomed. Hate to miss my workouts.
