JCFit Downtown

Fantastic experience: I have a great experience working out here. All coaches are very nice and I enjoyed all the classes and community. Would recommend anyone who wants to stay fit or get stronger to join

Fantastic experience: I’ve been really impressed with JCT—it’s an amazing place to train! The energy is always positive, and the workouts are consistently challenging and versatile, which keeps things fresh and motivating. Coaches Luis and Taylar are absolutely incredible. They both bring so much knowledge, encouragement, and attention to form. You can tell they genuinely care about your progress and push you to be your best. I’ve seen real results and actually look forward to every session. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches and an amazing CF community. For a first time cross fitter, they made me feel so welcome and I’ve learned so much!

Fantastic experience: I truly enjoy being a part of this CrossFit community. The environment is welcoming and supportive, with everyone treating each other with fairness and respect. The coaches are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping you improve. They take the time to understand your individual needs and guide you toward the exercises that are right for you. This has become my go-to place for personal time and self-improvement.

Fantastic experience: The gym is filled with incredibly supportive and helpful people that are invested in making sure you succeed in your fitness journey. Its a great environment all around.

Fantastic experience: It took me about two years of walking past “the ally” before I built up the courage to stop in and ask about memberships; my biggest mistake is not joining earlier! I felt my fitness levels weren’t yet ready for CrossFit but I could not have been more wrong. The programming is truly exceptional and caters to Athletes of all experience levels and walks of life. The Levelmethod provides me with actionable steps towards improvement as well as goals to work towards, the first several testing windows were eye opening to say the least. I cannot recommend enough. Since walking down the ally, I became a regular member for over five years with JCFIT being the primary activity on my weekly social and fitness calendar.

Fantastic experience: Joining the gym has truly transformed my life. I've become more resilient, stronger, and healthier overall. The coaches are fantastic, and I've not only improved my fitness but also built friendships along the way.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in at JCFIT with Coach Janine. She demonstrated power snatch, hang power snatch and high pulls in great detail and gave each person specific feedback. The JCFIT space is very well organized with good quality equipment (barbells, rig), go check it out!

Fantastic experience: Really wonderful gym. Can’t imagine for a better place to start a CrossFit journey. It’s not just the great techniques that they teach, it’s also the positive energy this place carries that lifts you out of your nihilistic daily routines. Coach Taylar is the best!

Fantastic experience: Had a great drop in session this morning, friendly class, good detailed coach.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend JCFit enough! From the moment I walked in, the owner, Russell, took the time to sit down with me personally. He really listened to my needs and goals, then created a customized CrossFit plan that fit my schedule and budget. It's rare to find someone so genuinely invested in helping new members – Russell's dedication truly sets this gym apart. The coaches at JCFit are fantastic as well. I had a different coach every day due to my schedule, but each one was just as awesome. They know how to make the workouts fun (even the tough ones!), but they're also serious about proper form and technique. They push you to your limits without letting you give up, which is exactly what I needed. Finally, a huge shoutout to Leo, one of the personal trainers! He's been incredibly supportive throughout my short time at JCFit. His encouragement and guidance have been invaluable. If you're looking for a CrossFit gym with a supportive community, knowledgeable coaches, and personalized plans, look no further than JCFit! You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Signing up for CrossFit at JCFit is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself! The group class format is so much fun, and the coaches make sure everyone gets personalized attention & support. It's a great workout and a wonderful community of people.

Fantastic experience: JCFit is truly a bright spot in a gloomy neighborhood. I was living in Journal Square for over a year before knowing about this place and my idea of the neighborhood and community was low. When I signed up for JCFIT, the opinion skyrocketed for the better almost instantly. The community at this gym is like none other as everyone is welcoming and kind. CrossFit has a reputation of people being superior to others, but JCFit it is nothing but welcoming vibes. No matter what race, gender, religion, ethnicity you are, you are welcomed and do not feel like an outsider. After being at this gym for over a year, it is so nice to know people when walking around the neighborhood and it is always smiles when you see one of the members. The coaches are what really make JCFit the experience. Most of the coaches look like they were chiseled out of stone but never make you feel that they are better than you. They are always pushing you to be perform better and make you believe you can get your health to its highest level. There is no such thing as a dumb question with the coaches as the workouts can be complex. If you are looking to join a gym, this may not be your place because you are joining a fitness community at JCFit. This place has my highest recommendation for anyone looking to sign up. If you think this is a bot, please reply with a time or number so I can FaceTime you to ensure this is a real review.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best CrossFit gym in the area! All the coaches are so knowledgeable, friendly and supportive, and the atmosphere is just wonderful. Workouts are varied and interesting. You've gotta listen to your body and be careful doing CrossFit - so you can push yourself, or scale to your heart's content, and either way you get full support from the coach, and get an excellent workout. In the 6 months of being a member here, I've never injured myself (vast improvement compared to my previous gym), I'm currently at my fittest in years, and I'm always motivated to come to another workout.

Fantastic experience: JCFIT is by far the best gym I have ever been a part of. The sense of community is unmatched. In gym competitions and events motivate you to work hard and have fun at the same time. The coaches are knowledgeable and patient and truly care about each person in class getting their best workout in and hitting new PRs. All of the members are welcoming and supportive since the very first day I dropped in to try a class. The workouts are easily modified to each persons level of fitness so there is never any pressure, judgement or missing out on a great sweat session!

Fantastic experience: I started Crossfit to reach my fit goals in addition I found great friends and we built a good community. If you thinking about joining Crossfit, give it a chance!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at JCFit for 2 1/2 years and I can’t say enough great things about this gym. The coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced in coaching CrossFit, and make proper technique a priority in every class. The members at the gym have created a great community that I’m happy to be part of. If you’re interested in learning about CrossFit and trying a new fitness program, look no further than JCFit.

Fantastic experience: I would never have imagined that going to the gym would be the one thing I would look forward to every day but JCFit made it possible.The community of peers and coaches are all super encouraging and helpful. Crossfit seemed intimidating at first but JCfit made it easy to start and progress quickly. Cant say enough wonderful things about JCFit.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to JCFit since 2019 and don't see ever stopping. In addition to feeling and looking better, the coaches always make me feel VERY welcome and at home! They are all knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic and generous with their time. Regardless of fitness level, they always provide sage advice and inspiration, while a friendly, diverse crowd is always there to cheer you on. I love this place and recommend it highly for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches and friendly environment to learn and get in great shape. CrossFit moves can be fairly complex. Good thing is that the coaches take the time to break down the movements in depth before jumping into the workout. I’ve been coming for a few years and I’m always learning something new in class.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and attentive coaches. Fun and effective workouts. Two convenient locations. Great community. I highly recommend JCFit to anyone that wants to improve their fitness.

Fantastic experience: JCFIT is an amazing place for anyone wanting to get fit and have fun! The coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful, the community is very supportive and welcoming, and you’ll always leave the gym feeling accomplished in your fitness journey. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I have been part of jcfit for more than 3 years now! The coaches are amazing and provided feedback and personal attention to everyone . The community is great too- made a lot of friends there who push you to achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my fundamentals program and coach Jules is absolutely fantastic! She challenged me but was also very respectful of my limits which helped earn trust right away. Everyone was very encouraging, friendly, and welcoming. Scheduling was a breeze. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Everything I didn't know I needed

Fantastic experience: As someone who has never done crossfit before, it was great coming into this with open arms. The coaches at JCFit are great, patient and will always be there if you need extra help with a workout. One of the first gyms i’ve been to who are openly inclusive of everyone. Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I moved to JC in July 2022 after living in NYC for 15 years. I have been to MANY gyms throughout the city, small boutiques and big corporate gyms. I have never had an experience like the one I have had at JCFIT. I was sad to have left the city but from the moment I stepped into the gym I felt welcome! JCFit really feels like family. Everyone is kind, caring and most of all encouraging! Highly recommend JCfit if you are new to the area or are feeling like you need community! Additionally, HIGHLY recommend the Nutrition coaching. I have been working with Jules on my nutrition since December and since then I have learned more about nutrition than ever before and have been able to set realistic goals! Jules is patient and knowledgable and I would 100% recommend working with her or any of the nutrition staff!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love JCFit and proud to call it my gym. The community here is fantastic and very supportive of each other. The coaches are very competent, kind and motivational while still pushing you beyond your 100%. The facilities are clean and well maintained and the over tech backbone supporting the experience makes it super-easy to sign up, change classes, see the WOD, track progress, give a high-five and more. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a CrossFit gym in JC.

Fantastic experience: Here to drop in couple days traveling from Puerto Rico as i dont like to skip training on vacations. Went and talked to coach Leo and he gave me a super cool welcome and orientation. Then he find me a spot for next day and coached that class. He is an excellent coach but mostly a great person and very dynamic and humble. And as a coach for 7 plus years as well, thats what you look for when you travel and drop. I enjoyed the class and will be back for 2 more days before i leave the city. Great gym if youre lookimg for a dropin.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Dropped in and they have excellent equipment, reasonable prices, and Leo is an amazing coach. He has tons of energy and is great a teaching the technical skills. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Positive and encouraging community, and great coaches. Challenging but fun environment to grow. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: As a first time CrossFit-er, I found JC Fit to be welcoming and a great gym to learn the fundamentals and grow into the sport. The ownership, coaches, and other members formed a real community. I had to leave the gym due to relocation but will always give the visit if I'm in the area. Highly recommend to first timers or others more experienced.

Fantastic experience: My favorite place

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, facility and workout. Appreciate you letting me drop in!

Fantastic experience: Dropped into this box while visiting from Alaska! I was super nervous about stepping into a new box due to taking a much needed break. I figured this would be a good opportunity to ease back into it. Super happy I did! The gym was absolutely beautiful and you can tell the equipment is in excellent condition. The community was super welcoming and Coach Jan was super inclusive and was able to give me some great pointers with my lifts! I could also tell that Coach Jan’s priority was safety. I could tell that everyone felt super comfortable no matter what variation of the WOD they were doing. If I didn’t live in Alaska - I definitely would sign up for this box in a heartbeat. Thanks for letting me drop in!

Fantastic experience: I see Leo for personal training here and have been really happy with the results up to this point. Would recommend Him as a personal CrossFit trainer to anyone looking to level up their regimen.

Fantastic experience: They keep the space clean and take preventative measures for Covid-19. I’ve had a great experience with my trading sessions hear, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Currently going through their Fundamental classes. Coach Clark is definitely passionate about his students progression.

Fantastic experience: It's weird that my gym is my happy place. I love the team at JCFit, coaches and members both. I would definitely recommend it to everyone considering CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: 100% would recommend this gym, Coach leo is fantastic and pushed me to my limits that I thought I could never do! The environment and friendliness is all positive energy for your fitness journey! I feel so accomplished after attending my sessions. If i still were to live in New Jersey, this would be my go to gym. All but positive things to say about this place. THANK YOU <3

Fantastic experience: The best thing that happened in my life. Love all the coaches!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly community. Coach Leo was very energetic and knowledgeable. Would definitely come back again when I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: Kid & Teen Approved! A great family-time well spent.

Fantastic experience: This CrossFit gym is my new favorite... and will probably be my second hom. The coach was amazing - bringing a celebratory and positive vibe to the workout while still pushing us all. I will absolutely come back again and again and again.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout! Coaches help you with technique and motivate you. Realistic goals and efficient workout! Great environment!

Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience from the start of fundamentals to moving to group classes. Group classes have been very motivating!!! I had great experience both in jsq and downtown locations

Fantastic experience: I'm so happy to have found JCFit right around the corner from my apartment, and even better that the owner, staff, coaches AND members are SO nice and welcoming!! The members will motivate you and cheer you on!

Fantastic experience: For many years, I have joined gyms, paid membership fees, but never cared to go after the first few weeks. JCFIT is different. So so different. I have been a member for almost three years now, and I still look forward to going there each and every morning to work out. Such a welcoming community. The coaches are so knowledgeable and professional, and everyone is so friendly. There is no place for judgement here. When I started, I was recovering from a bad back injury, and I was terrified of even touching a barbell. From there I have progressed to setting PRs for all my lifts. All thanks to JCFIT. Highly recommended. Can’t think of working out anywhere else now.

Fantastic experience: I have been at JCFIt for the past 3 years. 1 of those 3 years has been virtually and it's like I am still part of the crew. I still have not made it back to JCFit in person due to my work schedule, however, Janine (one of the coaches) has been keeping me up to speed with tailored workouts. I cannot wait to get back to JCFit as the environment is extremely welcoming and exercising is actually fun. I have made a lot of friends, made lifestyle adjustments, and learned a lot of my own potential. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning how to lift, increase the heart rate, and not be judged - try out JCFit

Fantastic experience: JCFit gave me the love of active life style, strength and a great community! Every time I walk into one of the two locations its a great feeling, everyone is always welcoming and I know the next hour is going to be the best hour of my day! The team is super amazing, they will make sure you are putting the work, they will modify it to your needs, and will always make sure you are having fun!

Fantastic experience: Great workout

Fantastic experience: My 2nd home. I love this community. Before I joined, I was intimidated by the gym and never really stayed consistent. Now, Staying consistent isn’t a problem because when I have a whole community behind me, supporting me, celebrating my gains with you, it just motivates me even more to continue!!! Thank you JCFit for being my second family!!!! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I recently joined JC CrossFit, and I must say it is one of the best decisions I made for myself. JC CrossFit is a great community of awesome trainers and people who push you to achieve your fitness goals and be a better version of yourself! Classes are hard but fun. There are also covid preventative measures (temp checks, sanitation stations, etc) that make me feel safe while working out.

Fantastic experience: I love it here! I can honestly say I have had a 100% positive experience. The gyms themselves are clean and well staged. Each coach brings their own individual flare to the workouts but they are all very attentive and motivational; you can tell that they really care and want to see you reach your goals. Classes are always well constructed and allow plenty of time for teaching and setting up without feeling pressured or being rushed. Despite covid and all the obstacles that came with it, they stayed dedicated to their members and went above and beyond to try and accommodate everyone according to their comfort level. If that’s not enough to convince you to make this the next stop on your fitness journey, their nutrition coach and meal plan connections are also excellent. Long story short, these guys are great :)

Fantastic experience: I dropped in at CFJC and CFJSQ for about 2 weeks while visiting family and really enjoyed myself. They made reservations/class signups easy and both facility were very clean. The coaches were both engaged and motivating, but still pushed us to work hard while maintaining safety. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best gym/CrossFit location I've ever been a part of. From the No Sweat Intro, Fundamentals Classes, to just being a regular gym go-er the coaches and community are with you every step of the way. They really care about your well being, focus on form, and push you to new levels of fitness. Drop the skepticism of CrossFit/functional fitness gyms and go in with an open mind and I guarantee you'll see results and make new friends.

Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit Box I've ever belong to. The family is so close, they are the only friends we have since we moved to NJ from the South!!!

Positive experience: I had a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great gym with great people. CrossFit gets a bad rep but based on this place it's pretty unwarranted. Workouts are all different and it's never boring. Coaches also tailor workouts to accommodate injuries or other movement limitations. I highly recommend it for anyone considering trying out CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: Great workout, coaches and community. I’m stronger and more defined than ever and I’ve only been a member for a few months! I’ve tried all of the fad gyms and studios and this drastically surpasses them all.

Fantastic experience: The Gym and Nutrition program was great Still learning and eating better due to Crossfit Jersey City Five stars baby

Fantastic experience: Great trainers!

Fantastic experience: My best gym experience so far. Coaches and staff are friendly and were always helpful in scaling options that would still push me to the limits.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are great, and the workouts are best-in-class. Some CrossFit gyms seem to offer all sorts of flavor-of-the-month classes and gimmicky programming, but this one has stayed true to what works, and it shows in how strong the community is and the progress that people are making. The facility is a perfect urban CrossFit box. Plenty of space for medium-size classes, with every piece of equipment you could want.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Excellent training and very friendly staff. A must try for every fitness enthusiast

Fantastic experience: Cool location, welcoming community, great workout... :)

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a class while I was in town. The gym was awesome! Everybody was super nice and welcoming, and the coach (Travis) was excellent. The workout was great and just the right amount of challenging. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area!

Fantastic experience: Great hospitality and coaching!

Fantastic experience: I was busy traveling and didn’t have the opportunity to do the last open workout (18.5) at my home box before my flight. CrossFit Jersey City was a few blocks away from where I was staying for the weekend, so I sent an email to them to see if I could do a drop in and have someone judge my workout, and within a couple hours I got a reply from Coach Russell. I stopped by during open gym hours and was welcomed like I was one of the box members. CF Jersey City was filled with energy and filled with some of the friendliest people. Although thousands of miles away from my home box, I got to do my last open workout for the open with a great group of people to push me and cap off the open season. Thanks CF Jersey City. -Thomas

Fantastic experience: Came here as a drop-in for two days. Great place! People were very friendly and welcoming. Instructors were knowledgeable and helpful. There's plenty of equipment, and they even offer In Body analysis. There's a nice community feel; members are clearly friends and have fun. They even cheered me on when I tried 18.3! The next time I'm visiting the area I'll be back

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and great community. I have been a member of many gyms and a few CrossFits....and this one tops them all by miles. Coaches are terrific and genuine plus the overall community is diverse, inclusive and welcoming. I am pretty picky about a lot of things...including gyms...and I am really happy I made the choice to join when I moved to JC a year ago.

Fantastic experience: So welcomed. Such a great group of people. It's a community.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches and a great CF community

Fantastic experience: Great local CF gym

Fantastic experience: Easy to find now

Fantastic experience: Awesome and supportive staff/coaches who keep the workout challenging and fun. Everyone here is welcoming and friendly. The gym itself may be easy to miss, though, if you've never been here before (it's located at the end of a small, unassuming alleyway).
