J3 Athletics: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great local gym/classes hidden just off hope street. Supportive and welcoming environment!
Fantastic experience: I was encouraged by my chiropractor who is also a member to check out J3fitness, and I’m so glad I did! I've been a member since January 2024, and from day one, the experience has exceeded my expectations. The other members were immediately welcoming and encouraging, which made stepping into something new feel a lot less intimidating. The trainers are knowledgeable, supportive, and help create the positive, inclusive environment that makes J3 so special. One of the things I appreciate most is the wide range of ages and abilities among members — everyone is there to do their personal best, and the support from the group is what makes me keep showing up. The small class sizes are perfect, allowing for personal attention and a real sense of community. I had never lifted a barbell before joining, and now I’m completely hooked. J3fitness has helped me build confidence, strength, and a genuine love for working out. Highly recommend!
We’re so glad you came in, too, Dana! From day 1 you’ve been a great addition to the gym. Your attitude to accept challenges and coaching has led to where you are now…reigning most improved member.
Keep at it and the results are limitless
Fantastic experience: Top notch training paired with top notch coaches equals awesome results! The coaches work with all fitness levels and encourage everyone to push hard no matter their fitness background. The atmosphere here is high vibe and totally contagious; you will leave here with a smile on your face. J3 Athletics is my home away from home!
Thanks for the awesome review, Kelly! You're a big part of that vibe you mention so keep up being awesome :)
Fantastic experience: J3 Athletics changed my life during a very tough time. For two years, I stopped having the motivation to go to the gym or do anything involving physical activity. I did my daily task such as going to work, coming home and eating out which left me feeling worse. Since joining J3 Athletics, my mental health has improved drastically, I feel more confident in how I look and overall my eating habits have changed, due to the accountability I received on every level. James, the owner is so phenomenal with holding you accountable on an individual basis regarding your food, health and fitness choices. The fitness trainers are all well educated, meet you where you are with zero judgment and the environment in general is very uplifting and motivating. As an introvert, I felt very comfortable in the space and appreciate the space being inviting, focused, nonjudgmental and being able to go at my own pace while adjusting accordingly. For me, just going to the gym on my own never last for long and it’s amazing to have a community pushing you constantly on those days you’re just not feeling it. As someone who used to go to the gym regularly and had three personal trainers, for the very first time I learned what proper form is with different weights and strength training techniques. The consistency of the program allows you to develop lifetime habits for a healthy lifestyle rather than a quick fix. So my only advice is just do it! You won’t regret it.
Ayana, you’ve been an integral part of J3 with your commitment to being a little better every day.
Stick with it and you’ll be surprised where the journey will take you!
Fantastic experience: James is the coolest trainer ever! I’ve never been more excited to go to a gym and workout. Great conversations and jokes along the workout journey! He has an awesome workout playlist as well! His workouts are well planned and organized and I noticed results after two weeks of working with him! Coolest trainer ever! Join!! He also doesn’t judge me when I use “dates” the fruit as a motivation to work out. The last session I had with him for each push up I would say “dates” and that motivated me to workout because after that workout I went to home goods and got myself some good dates. ( best snack ever after a workout ). Totally try it. Also totally join the gym. Worth the money. No excuse not to join. Just do it.
Irene, those dates can be a great motivator to push harder in the workouts!
Thanks for the kind words, I'm so happy you decided to work with me. Your balance has taken great strides and your movements are looking like you know what you're doing now. I can't wait to see how much improvement you make in the next few months. Keep up with effort and consistency.
Fantastic experience: A hidden gem! After more than 12 years without any exercise, the idea of getting back into it felt both overwhelming and intimidating. My stamina was non-existent, and being significantly overweight made the thought of working out in front of others feel downright embarrassing. But I decided to embark on this journey—even with all my fears staring me in the face—and I’m so glad I did. I’ve found incredible support from both the coaches and fellow members. The classes are small, so the personal attention is awesome. I’ve have already started to notice improvements just a month in: I have more energy throughout the day, no longer feel groggy, my headaches have nearly disappeared, and I’m sleeping so much better! Be not afraid and give J3 a shot, you won’t regret it!
Blanca! Thanks for the kind words. You’ve been such a great addition to the gym and your consistency the first month has proven out with the improvements in your health.
I am excited to see how far this journey past your comfort zone can bring you.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to J3 for the last month. The effects of being part of this community are immediate. Not only do I already feel stronger physically, I have begun to realize how capable I am of growth. I've never weight-trained before, but both the coaches and the members offer endless help on how to get started and how to push yourself safely. I think the most powerful part of being part of J3 is that there is a real community between all the people in the gym. It matters that you show up every day not just for your personal well-being, but also because everyone cares that you are there working hard. I have gotten both my brother and my husband to join because I think this place is so worth the investment in time, effort and money.
Missy! You’ve been an amazing addition to the crew and it’s been so fun watching you improve and push yourself to be better.
The sky’s the limit to your potential with the mentality you bring.
And thanks for making this a family affair! :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of the J3 community since the beginning of March. It’s been a long time since I was a member of any gym and after some encouragement from a friend who’s a long-time member, I decided to check it out and I’m so glad I did! The people are great and very welcoming. I also really like that the class sizes are small so I’m able to get additional instruction from the coaches on doing the moves correctly and improving my form, especially since I’m new to a lot of the exercises. I also enjoy the variety of workouts and that you’re able to preview and book them on the app! If you’re looking to join a gym in the area, I highly recommend checking out J3!! :)
Jackie! So happy you’re loving it here.
Keep learning and keep consistent and amazing results will come your way.
Fantastic experience: Been at the Gym for about 2months now. James and the team really push the accountability aspect of the gym and for me that has always been the hardest part so the extra nudge is appreciated. Thank you for everything you and the team do James.
Ant, you're very welcome. It's been a blast having you in the gym. We love helping people stay consistent and motivated (read: accountability). Without that, you won't find success and that's what we're in the business for.
You've been putting in the work and reaping the rewards, so keep up the effort and we'll keep you coming in.
Fantastic experience: Enjoying my classes and the support.
Thanks Adriana! Glad ypu made it back to us. I love watching you push yourself to be better. Hope the workouts are helping you with all the other fitness ventures you do.
Fantastic experience: I became a member of J3 a few months and I am so happy I did. As soon as you step into the gym for your first workout you are welcomed with open arms from your coach as well as the other members. James is so knowledgeable and really is passionate about what he does. He takes the time to help you with any modifications you need to make your workout successful as well as the Coaches Liz and Oscar. Top notch facility and I highly recommend it. Best decision I have made for myself!!
Thanks for the kind words, Nikki! We absolutely love having you and your big energy in class. I look forward to when your knees are 100% and we can see your true potential. The ceiling is high!
Fantastic experience: J3 Athletics is an amazing gym with a fantastic environment for working out, no matter your fitness level. I have tried bunch of places in Stamford but felt right at home with this one. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, you'll feel right at home here. The community is supportive and friendly, and the trainers are knowledgeable, helping you achieve your goals safely and effectively. The gym is well-equipped, clean, and offers a wide variety of classes and training options, so there's always something new to try. James is an amazing trainer and he has this amazing knack of pushing people in the right way. If you're looking for a place to push your limits and surround yourself with great people, J3 Athletics is the place to be!
Ali, thanks for the great review! We love having you as part of the gym and love your dedication to improving your overall health as well as your cricket game. Even with your crazy work schedule you still make the time to prioritize your health.
Keep up the momentum!
Fantastic experience: Great environment to get a workout in and it’s for both highly experienced and inexperienced athletes. Very nice and great customer service as well.
Michal, thanks for the 5 stars! I would love for you to update and share your story as it's one of the better ones we've ever had. Can't wait to keep working with you and get you back to dancing like you used to.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with good trainers, no classes are the same which is brilliant for core strength
Brian! Thanks for the review. We love the fact that you’re committed to improving your health and fitness, showing up early for classes to get your stretching in.
Keep up the awesome work!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to J3 Athletics for over 5 years. The mix of caring and knowledgeable couches, challenging (but flexible) workouts with variety, and supportive peers keeps me going back.
Snakey! I can't believe I never responded to you. It's been over 2 years now and you're still going strong. We love having you around and love seeing you improve all the time. Your confidence is so much higher than when you first started!
Fantastic experience: I’m 56 years old and have been consistently working out at the gym for years. Throughout this time, I’ve tried many different programs, but J3 has made the biggest impact on me. I’ve been a member for over 3 years now, and I absolutely love it. The progress I’ve made in my physical condition here is by far the most significant I’ve ever experienced compared to any other program.
Ofir, you don't look a day over 40! Must be the a side effect of our program :)
Thank you for being a loyal member. I get excited to keep pushing you every class and watch the continued progress you make even after so many years.
Onward and upward!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for just a month, and in that short time, I’ve already noticed incredible gains in strength—especially in muscles I didn’t even know I had! The coaches here are amazing; they take the time to teach proper technique, ensuring every workout is effective and safe. James does a great job of holding you accountable while keeping you motivated to push past your limits. This place isn’t just a gym—it’s a supportive, inspiring community that I’m so proud to be a part of. Joining was one of the best decisions I’ve made!
Siobhan! Thank you for the kind words. We're all so happy you decided to make a change with us. You've gone all in with being a little better every day and that dedication is going to pay great dividends faster than you think. See you in class!
Fantastic experience: J3 is the absolute best!! I’ve been a member for over a year and a half. In the past and with other gyms I belonged to, it was always so hard to get motivated to go to the gym, but there is something about this place that is special!!! The coaches make you feel so comfortable and give you so much confidence! The atmosphere with all the members is so special like we are all one family!! The coaches modify any of the movements to your ability. I just can’t say enough about J3. Thank you James, Timmy and Liz!!❤️ BEST GYM IN STAMFORD!!
Janine, you’re amazing! Thank you for the kind words and we’re so happy you love it here because we love having you. You’re always smiling and happy when you’re in class. We can’t wait to see your progress over the next year!
Fantastic experience: What makes J3 the best gym in Stamford? Awesome coaches to keep you motivated and safe. Workouts that are fun and can be scaled to any fitness level. Members who are supportive of one another with zero judgement, just encouragement. Come see for yourself!
Jen, Thanks for sharing your experience. You've made such amazing strides with your fitness and your confidence since you first walked into the gym. It's so amazing to watch and I can't wait to see where you're at a year from now.
Fantastic experience: James and the crew at J3 make it easier to wake up at 4:30am than I thought was possible. So happy to have found J3 this year!
Hey Lauren! 4:30am is a tough wakeup on many days, but I'm happy to hear you love us enough to make the sacrifice! You'll certainly be rewarded for it in the long run.
Fantastic experience: Great workouts, great music, great coaches. What's not to love about J3?!
That's a great question, Erin! Personally, I think we're the best gym in Stamford and you pointed out a few of things that make that true. Don't forget the great people like yourself! We love having you in class and can't wait to see you keep progressing.
Fantastic experience: Very good atmosphere, friendly and caring trainers. I haven't been a member for a long time, but I'm sure this is a place where they know their job professionally.
We definitely care a lot about our members, like you! We want to see you reach your goals. You haven't been around too long but we're sure that will change as we love having you in classes!
Fantastic experience: James is an excellent trainer providing a well structured and fun class routine. He is genuinely interested in everyone’s fitness goals and takes personal interest in helping each member achieve their goals. He is very knowledgeable about body fitness science and has a great facility with a wide range of equipment. He keeps it interesting and challenging every week with variations that are well thought out.
Nikhil, so happy you love the gym and the workouts.
You keep up the effort level and we’ll keep making it challenging and fun.
Fantastic experience: James and team are great! Incredible community and great, varied, workouts. Cant say enough good things about J3!
Thanks John! You and Gillian are amazing additions to the community and a big part of what makes us the best gym in Stamford.
Your efforts in the workouts and personality in class add great value to what we’re building.
Fantastic experience: This workout is quick and hits muscles I didn’t even know I had. The classes are filled with people of all ages, shapes and sizes and what I like is that everyone goes at their own pace and does their own thing but doing it as a group. Very supportive environment. And huge results in a short amount of time. I just feel better.
Amy! Thanks for the awesome review. We love having you in class because you always push yourself, and that motivates the others. Looking forward to seeing the progress you make with that effort in the next few months!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in stamford! I came to j3 after working out at commercial gyms for 2 years. Trying to figure out workout for myself. Coaches at J3 have workouts planned for week and each workout is well designed and performed by coach himself before actual training which helps them to push us during workouts. J3 has been game changer for me on my health journey!! Thanks J3
Bhushan, we appreciate the kind words and saying we’re the best gym in Stamford! That means a lot considering you’ve been to other gyms for years.
Keep up the awesome work and the results will come.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of J3 Athletics for 2 months now and wish I made the decision to join sooner. I had previously been doing group fitness classes, but nothing like the style of classes offered at J3. Cross fit sounded intimidating to me so it was not something I sought out before. The difference with J3 has been the personal direction from the coaches, teaching me each and every move, providing modifications to make each move possible for me, and making sure I am keeping correct form so I don’t injure myself. I love that each day is a different, the exercises in the classes are challenging and fun and the class sizes are small. The community is so close knit and supportive and there are monthly challenges to get involved in. J3 has definitely met me where I am at and pushes me to do more each class. I feel stronger already and am excited to see how far J3 can take me!
Michaela! Thanks so much for the nice words. So happy you did find us and even more happy you enjoy it here. You fit in from day 1 and it’s awesome watching you push yourself every workout, even after a long shift.
Keep up the effort and the rewards will come.
Fantastic experience: A year ago I decided to joined J3 athletics. Coach James is the best his workouts help you with strength and mobility of your body . A year a ago I didn’t even know what a hand stand was , now I know how to do a hand stand!
Yes, Blanca! Yes you do :)
So proud of the effort you've put in and the consistency you have found here. You're part of what makes us the best gym in Stamford with your constant smile and willingness to push your limits to set new ones.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Stamford! J3 truly stands out, unique and motivating workouts, a vibrant and inclusive community, and dedicated staff who make every workout a positive experience. It's a fitness haven worth every enthusiastic recommendation!
JB, thanks for the kind words! So happy you love it here. You being a great energy to the classes and it’s been fun watching your progress.
Fantastic experience: I joined J3 when they first opened. The workouts complement my active lifestyle both at work and during my downtime. The coaches have always been willing to adjust workouts depending on where I am on my fitness journey. Pushing me and encouraging me as needed. The support and camaraderie of my fellows at 5:15 am always gives me a fun and energizing start to the day :-) Update- The coaches continue to work on optimizing the workout experience by adding facets to the classes like bullet-proof segments to help with mobility, strength, and injury reduction. Workouts are also individualized so that you can work on strength, speed, or stamina depending on your lifestyle needs.
Z, it's been awesome having the privilege to coach you through your journey over the years, even before J3 opened its doors. You show up consistently and are never afraid to put in the work, which is all we can ever ask of someone. Thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers! this feels like more than just a regular gym.
Chris, thanks for the review. So happy you’re enjoying the gym. Looking forward to seeing the strength gains you make with the consistency with which you’ve been coming so far!
Fantastic experience: I've been a J3 member for 5+ years and continue to enjoy every minute of it. J3 coaches are both personable and knowledgeable. They find new ways to keep me motivated and challenged.....best Crossfit gym in Stamford.
Jazz! We're what you needed, and you're what we need! You keep consistent and put in the work needed to hit your goals. Exactly the type of member we want around here.
Fantastic experience: I never worked out before, so I was a little nervous joining a gym, but the coaches at J3 made me feel like I can do anything! My son joined with me, and he loves it! The classes are great, everyone is friendly and very supportive, including the other members! Going on 3rd month of regular classes, and feeling so much better, physically and mentally! Come join me!!
Maria, you and Eric have been amazing since day 1. Always willing to learn and put in the work. I can't wait to see where this journey leads you.
Fantastic experience: This place is simply amazing. Getting on a fitness program was a long overdue goal for me. I tried multiple gyms but repeatedly quit. At J3 I not only found the perfect workout, but also an encouraging community and a place full of good vibes. Every day is different and coaching is top notch. I am full of energy and always look forward to my next workout!
Thanks, Juan! We're so happy you love it here. You've been crushing it since Day 1 and we already see your goal of getting stronger coming to fruition. Keep up the awesome work and consistency.
Fantastic experience: Classes are small, fun, and challenging. Alternative options are given so all ability levels can get their best workout. Staff is friendly and gym is clean. Checks the boxes!
Amy! Thanks so much for the kind review. We're quite happy you love it at J3. We love the energy and personality you add to the classes. We can't wait to see the progress you'll make in the coming months and beyond, then the rower will be your friend :)
Fantastic experience: The best. Get you going. Great people and results.
Thanks for the nice review!
Fantastic experience: Great owners give the gym a family feeling!
Thanks for the review l, John! So happy you enjoy the gym. We love having you in class and watching you improve.
Fantastic experience: J3 is a fast paced, effective and efficient workout and every day is different. It’s a great community that is encouraging and supportive. Each workout feels harder than the last. I’m getting stronger because of it!
Gillian, thanks so much for the kind words. We love having you in class and watching you push through new heights. We look forward to seeing your progress after a year, it should be amazing!
Fantastic experience: The workouts are fantastic and no two workouts are the same. Timmy, Liz and James push you to work harder but know your abilities. The community is encouraging, friendly and fun. I’m always happy after I leave my evening workout. Well worth it !!
Carolyn, thanks for the review! We’re so happy you leave with a smile every time. That’s really what it’s all about. The fitness is like an added bonus ;)
Fantastic experience: I look forward to my workouts at J3 Athletics because they are always challenging and there is variety every time. The instructors are encouraging and willing to help me modify if needed. The atmosphere is positive and friendly!
Thanks for the kind review, Diane! We love having you in the gym and you are always down to try things, even if they are brand new to you. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: J3 is a gym that offers great workouts. The trainers are very friendly and accommodate your needs. It is a fun worth trying if you are looking for a well rounded program.
Susan, it’s been awesome having you around for the past few months. You show up and put in the effort and that’s what really matters.
Thanks for the kind words. See you in class!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place and coaches
Thanks Namrata! Glad you still love the gym being a member for so long!
Fantastic experience: J3 Athletics is everything you need to accomplish for fitness and nutritional goals. It has a great atmosphere, and the staff is really warming and helpful. The workouts are awesome, challenging and fun. I've been part of the J3 community for three years and every day I enjoy going there. I totally love our J3 family.
Thanks for the review, Wendy! We're quite happy you're happy here. Proof that even after 3 years we're still warming and helpful :)
We appreciate you sticking it out with us and really enjoy having you in class. Here's to many more years!
Fantastic experience: J3 is the best, coach timmy is a great programmer and always happy and encouraging!
Thanks for the review, Brandy! He does put together some awesome workouts that can be modified for any ability. We’re glad you like it here.
Fantastic experience: J3 is the best! I'm getting in better shape every time I go. I started as a beginner and was nervous about keeping up but the trainers got me up to speed in no time! James, Tim, and Liz are great at teaching techniques, constantly encouraging everyone, and best of all they keep every workout fun! Highly recommend!
John, thanks for the kind words! It's been great having you as part of the gym and the progress you've made in such a short time is a testament to the effort you put in each and every class. That's all we can ask of you. Effort equals results.
Fantastic experience: I avoided these types of gyms in the past cuz I had it in my mind that it was a certain way but quickly learned it wasn’t what I was thinking. They give you 3 weeks trial for $30 so there is no reason not to give it a try. I love having the workouts for the week listed ahead of time on Sunday and look forward to seeing what’s in store for the week. Even though some workouts seem tough the coaches still make em fun and let you go at your own pace and scale of each movement. Membership may seem costly but it’s worth it because each class really feels like a one on one personal training session, and I don’t think there has been a repeat of workouts so each session is fresh and doesn’t get boring so it keeps you motivated to keep going back. Classes are small too so it really helps everyone to push each other I highly recommend if you are looking for a gym or place to sweat for an hour no matter age or experience level
Geoff, thanks so much for the great review. We're so happy you took the first step to try us out. We pride ourselves on being a bit unique in the HIIT fitness world and making every ability level feel welcomed. Keep up the great work my man!
Fantastic experience: J3 has been my home for over a year now. Once I started I haven’t looked back for a place to go for a great workout, quality coaching and a fun place to train while meeting new people. The community is so welcoming and the workouts are well thought out and can be scaled up or down based on what your fitness level may be. I highly recommend this facility. You see changes to your body immediately.
Thanks for the review! So happy you're loving it at J3 and seeing the results. When you find a fitness program that you enjoy doing you stay committed and the results just seem to happen faster.
Fantastic experience: I started at J3 this past summer of 2021. I’ve seen a big difference in my fitness having increased strength and conditioning.. The coaching is top notch and the different workouts everyday make the programming a lot of fun. The gym is clean and organized with covid kept in mind so everyone has their own space (pod). The classes are kept tight so you get a lot of attention by the coaches which is a plus. It’s a very upbeat atmosphere with a lot of community events which makes J3 a special place.
Jen, thanks for the awesome review! We're so happy you love it here and you provide great energy to the classes, always coming in with a smile. Can't wait to see the progress you make over the next 6 months doing classes and privates.
Fantastic experience: Great place, great coaching, great community! Totally recommend this gym for all fitness levels! Hands on coaching that cares.
Brian, thanks for the recommendation! It's been great having you in the gym cheating on your other forms of fitness. You help push others in class and keep showing improvement. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: J3 is one of the best around! The workouts are so fun, and are all class-led by personal trainers who give hands on feedback. The trainers AND members are motivating, friendly & encouraging. There is no pressure ever! The atmosphere is great and the gym is spotless! Plus there are plenty of classes during the day to choose from. You will not do the same workout twice & you will see results!
Jen, thanks for the awesome review! You've been around since Day 1 and we very much appreciate that. It's always a good time and good conversation when you're in class, making the vibes that much better. Thanks for being a big part of J3.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to J3 for 3+ years now. James, Timmy B, and Liz genuinely care for you and are there to help you reach maximum potential. Classes are challenging, but fun! Much more engaging than going to gym on your own. I can’t ever go back to doing that. Members are motivational and are supportive. When you first start, it can be a humbling experience. If you put in the time and effort, going consistently leads to increased physical and mental well being. I’m proud to be a member and tell anyone. I highly recommended J3.
JK! thanks for the review. We love having you in the gym and love that you find the workouts challenging and fun…that’s what a workout should be like. See you in class soon!
Fantastic experience: I've met amazing people at J3, and I've never been fitter. The coaches/owners are encouraging and clearly care about you and your safety, and are proud of their work. The gym is clean, and the workouts are always varied, and planned well – easily scaled up or down for your level of comfort. Working from home can feel isolating at times, but J3 feels like a big group of friends that happen to like lifting heavy things too! I recommend this place every chance I get.
Leslie, thanks so much for the kind words! We love having your positive energy in the gym as much as you love us. Everyone can tel when you show up because you bring such an awesome attitude about everything.
Thanks for being a big part of what we’ve built.
Fantastic experience: James and Timmy do a great job programming workouts that are both challenging but accessible for everyone.
Thanks for the review, Craig! We love having you in the gym. It's all about showing up and putting in the effort to be better, no matter where you're at in your fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: J3... what can I say! I was always a person who thought lifting weights made you “bulky....” I couldn’t be happier to be wrong. J3 isn’t just “crossfit” gym. It’s a community that likes to workout together. I have made friends and gotten stronger at the same time at j3. The coaches and members alike encourage you to try your best, no matter what. It’s truly an inspiring place. You don’t slip through the cracks here. The gym itself has everything you need. COLD TOWELS IN THE SUMMER?! Come on. Amazing. It’s always clean, has showers, and I love having Kettlebell Kitchen delivered right to the gym. What else do you need?!
Liz, thanks for the review. The energy you bring to the 5:30pm class is awesome and it rubs off on the other members making it a better experience for everyone involved, even the sometimes boring coaches :)
Fantastic experience: Love my J3 community!
Thanks Kelly! We love you too :)
Fantastic experience: J3 is a wonderful business with seriously incredible employees. If you want to join a gym where people actually care about you- then this is the spot. J3 helped me achieve my goals for a fitness test within weeks. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Molly, thanks for the review! We were so excited when you said you’d passed your test! Our program was just a part of it. Your dedication to showing up and putting in the work was the other.
We love having you around and can’t wait to see you crush more goals.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym every one is so nice and welcoming
Thanks Joanna! Glad you love it here. We love seeing you progress as well!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a solid , high intensity workout but are worried about getting injured you should check out J3 Athletics. The coaching staff is very hands on and attentive to insure you are not only using weight you can handle but also doing the movement properly. It is a great family / team atmosphere to get yourself back in shape. Would recommend to any age group or level of fitness experience. Go check them out !!!!!
Cass! Thanks so much for the kind words. We loved having you around and wish you the best in your new adventures. We’ll miss having you in class.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a great full body workout, Crossfit style, then talked to James & Tim at J3! What a fun place to workout, with great people and a serious variety of routines! It's never boring and the results will speak for themselves!
Kevin, thanks for the awesome review. The results are certainly due in part to the effort you put in and the consistency at which you come.
We love having you around and happy you swung by that first day.
Fantastic experience: J3 is great! I look forward to going to the gym not only for the workout but also for the nice group of people who always make me feel welcome. With years of experience, James, Timmy and Liz will scale any workout to your ability so don't hesitate to come in and try J3, you won't regret it.
Thanks for the review, Pam. We love having you around and you always put in the effort every class.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym highly recommend. 3 things I love (although there are many more). 1) never bored, these guys constantly mix up the workouts and keep things exciting 2) workouts can be as intense as you want them to be, everything scales. Trainers will push you just the right amount. 3) these guys are super passionate about what they do and it shows. I never get there and feel they’re just trying to get through a class, trainers are super engaged and want you to succeed.
Dov, thanks for the nice words. Given that “giving a shit” is one of our core values, these top 3 make us super happy!
We love having you in the gym. You’re always pushing that little extra to be better everyday. Effort pays off. Keep up the awesome work.
Fantastic experience: J3 is fantastic! Very knowledgeable, super supportive, and what a great community. Programming is tailored to members, everything is scalable up or down, you’re gonna get a great workout no matter what. I love the coaches!!
Leigh Anne, thanks for your kind words. We're so happy you found your way to us, especially Liz (long lost sisters?). We pride ourselves on making this place supportive and encouraging so we're happy you feel that way.
Fantastic experience: Best gym and cleanest I’ve ever been to! I’ve been training there just over a year, and the great coaching (even modified for injuries) and the sense of community have kept me more consistent then ever before in a gym. I’ve seen great improvements in my fitness level! It’s actually fun working out!
Tracy, so happy you love it here and the fact that the culture has you coming in more consistent than ever puts a big smile on our face. Keep up the awesome work and there's only more improvement to come.
Fantastic experience: High energy,I laugh and have a good time while working out!Cleanest gym environment I have ever experienced.It’s like a second family,all members are totally chill and Timmy and James make it fun.They totally get my crazy!Love
Haha! Shannon, we love your crazy! So happy you found us and love it here. Now we just need to get your kids school to stay open so you can not have to home school all the time!
Fantastic experience: I've bounced around other HIIT gyms for the last couple of years. Never feeling the same "community" thing that I sort of had at two other places that are no longer around (or changed management). One place had a great community. The other had great programming. J3 is like those two gyms merged and produced this type of place. A place where everyone is welcoming, the workouts are challenging, and there's no drama. The owners of J3 also actually care about their members. To the point that they check up on you if you tend to disappear for a week, which is sometimes needed as we all tend to just slip from time to time. However, they also push you out of your comfort zone for each workout. If you think you're going to skate by with an easier scale, it's not going to happen. The coaches will notice and "fix" your weights and scalings. And, people like me need that push. It's why I go. It's why I mix this in with home workouts and my boxing. Because working out at home is fine, but it will rarely ever get me to push myself to the next level. J3 will always push me to be better. To do better. The place is also super clean thanks to the owners and to each member being responsible for sanitizing their spot and equipment once done.
La, so glad you found us. We love having members willing to take the coaching and guidance knowing we have your best interest in mind. It’s really all we ask here. Be friendly, have a good attitude and put in the effort to be 1% better everyday.
Thanks for the great review, so happy you love J3!
Fantastic experience: J3 has all the ingredients to make the gym-going experience exceptional: top-notch coaching; a welcoming community of members; a bright, super-clean, functional facility; creative workouts that are scalable for all fitness levels; plenty of class scheduling options; and a flexible membership program that offers a wide variety of pricing plans to meet every budget and time commitment level. If you are looking for a fun group fitness experience, I recommend J3 without hesitation. Check it out!
John, thanks for the great review! While we control some of those factors, it’s members like you that make the culture what it is. Always having a smile on your face, being social and putting in the effort during the workout. Thanks for being a great part of J3.
Fantastic experience: Love working out here; workouts are never the same so there’s no room for boredom! I love the sense of community and engagement of the members which is encouraged by our experienced and charismatic coaches! I’ve been training here for over 7 months and I love it!
Carlos, you’ve made such strides in your fitness we can’t believe it’s only been 7 months (not including the covid shut down). We love having you around. Thanks for being a part of J3!
Fantastic experience: I personally do not attend the gym, however my mother does religiously. She often comes home excited after a tough workout. I can tell how hard she worked by the few words she is able to share with me post workout. Additionally, the family community tagged alone with the individual attention J3 athletics provides, pulls together a tight knit community here in Springdale that pushes outside of the gym as friendships are established and relationships grow. In a pandemic it is hard to find highlights in such a troubled time, but J3 is a bright spot in my moms day as she continues to get in better shape day in and day out.
So happy your mom loves it here. She’s a highlight every day with her contagious energy and smile. She puts in the effort and will soon see the reward!
Fantastic experience: Walking into J3 was one of the best decisions I have ever made! James, Tim & Liz are fantastic coaches who push us to be 1% better everyday. I highly recommend J3 for anyone serious about feeling good & having a great time while doing it.
Thanks for the kind words, Steve! Glad I was there when you first walked in to the gym. Was so great having you around and we hope you can find a gym you love just as much in your new town.
Fantastic experience: Great coaching, WOD’s and community! With COVID-19 restrictions lifting, J3 is a great place to re-engage your workout needs!
Thanks for the kind words Dave! We’re doing our best to keep everyone safe while improving their overall health
Fantastic experience: I have been at J3 for the past month (what an awesome find on GroupOn) and I have to say, I have never felt more fit or athletic in years! Its been great learning how to use weights and barbells the proper way, and with no judgement when I had no idea what I was doing. The atmosphere is such a teamwork/community vibe, with social events and always being cheered on by others to finish a challenging workout. Even if you don't feel like you're up to heavy weights or can't do certain moves, the trainers here help with either modifying the exercise or finding something else to do instead! If I am back in the area after graduating school, I will definitely make this my regular gym. James, Tim & Liz, thanks for being awesome coaches!
Allison, so happy you found us! It was great having you around while you were home! Thank you for the kind words. I hope you land somewhere you want for your residency!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend J3 - The workouts are dynamic and challenging for any skill set! The community is outstanding - we are supportive and we push each other to improve! It’s such a wonderful environment and had so many amazing friendships blossom from becoming a member! Coaches are wonderful - Everything can be modify and they help you reach whatever goals you have set - whether it’s lifting heavier, getting an unassisted pull up or double unders etc... Since I’ve been at J3, I’ve worked out while pregnant with my second child and a broken hand. There’s no limitations of what you can do here!
Val, thanks for the awesome words. We love having you and Anthony around. You guys being such a happy vibe to every class and workout.
Fantastic experience: I am a traveling x-day tech and was only in the Stamford area for 3 months. During these 3 months I decided I needed to make a change. I walked into J3 with no prior experience in CrossFit, they were able to educate me and tailor each workout to my fitness level. The atmosphere was fun to be in and not only the coaches but my fellow classmates were always pushing me to do my best! Whether you are new to CrossFit like me, or are very experienced J3 is the place for you!
Mandi, thanks for the kind words! We were happy you found us and sad that you couldn't stay longer. We hope that you're loving the traveling life and welcome you back anytime you're in the area!
Fantastic experience: My girlfriend and I joined this year in August and have zero regrets. I have always been a lifter but had shied away from CrossFit out of fear of injury. J3 has completely changed my perspective on it because of their holistic approach that ensures we take care of our muscles and joints, both pre- and post- workout. I look forward to the workouts and have the motivation to get to the gym much more often than I did on my own. I’m grateful that there’s a place like this, where I get workouts that make me want to dig deep and feel like I get the attention I need from the trainers to make sure my movements are healthy. I highly recommend J3 to anyone looking to switch up their workout routine, start over after some time off, or is just serious about fitness! I’m hooked!
Kirsten, you (and Leslie) have been an awesome addition to our gym. Your positive vibe and energy is contagious and it’s fun as hell to watch you push your limits, while not shying away from the coaches advice. Thank you for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place that is not your typical gym, then this is the place for you. You will get fit here, but also be part of a special community. The coaches care about each person, no matter what level you are starting at and they will help you achieve your goals. J3 is such a fun and positive place and having other members root for you will keep you motivated. This is the best part of my day.
Thanks J! The last line made our fricken week, month and year! We’re so happy you love it here. You’re a great addition to the 9am class and the gym as a whole. Can’t wait to see your progress over the next year :)
Fantastic experience: The team at J3 always has the best workouts and creates a fun an energetic environment with different workouts everyday. They personalize the workout to each persons skill level, while pushing everyone to be challenged.
Thanks for the awesome feedback, Kevin! We love having you as part of our 6:30am class and love how you’re always pushing yourself to get better. Can’t wait to see what goals you reach in 2020!
Fantastic experience: J3 is the most welcoming gym I’ve been apart of. The programming and coaching are top notch, and they’ll always scale to your needs and abilities, from beginner to expert. The community they’ve developed is friendly and inviting. I look forward to my daily workout not only for the workout but for the people there. I highly recommend J3 Athletics!
Chris, thanks for the kind words! It’s awesome having you around. You bring good vibes to the 9am class. We need more members like you!
Fantastic experience: J3 is awesome. Great well experienced coaches, fun and respectful teammates (members), and solid all around variety of workouts.
Jeff, thanks for leaving a review! So happy you’ve enjoyed your time so far. You’ve been showing awesome progress and can’t wait to see what the next several months lead to. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with an awesome community of people from all walks of life. Experienced and friendly coach staff who will scale workouts to be as challenging as you need them to be and will push you to your best. Clean facility with all new equipment. J3 is a fun place to sweat it out with good people!
Thanks, Henry! It's awesome having you as part of our group as well. Such happy vibes coming from you all the time, it's infectious. Keep up the awesomeness!
Fantastic experience: I joined J3 in January when I felt I had gotten all I could from a traditional gym and I’ve never looked back. The small class sizes allow for more personal attention. No 2 classes have been the same. Everyday is a new and challenging work out. There is no feeling of competition except with yourself. James, Tim, and now Liz are awesome at guiding and motivating you through every work out. They and all the members are so welcoming and supportive. I’m so lucky to be part of J3.
Alexza, thanks for your review, it means a lot. So happy you came in, you’ve made so much progress and we love that you always have a smile on your face. Others should look up to you with how hard you push yourself to be better. Can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of J3 since they first openend their doors - and was so excited for them to open because I'd been coached by James and Timmy in the past. Since J3 opened my all round athletic ability has improved; I'm more mobile, stronger and fitter. The coaches will push you to be your best but the workouts are always scalable so if you're having a bad day or are injured they'll help you work through that too. J3 is such a positive place and every single member is truly awseome, encouraging and friendly.
Sally, We've known you for a long time and we've never seen you work so hard or be so committed to being better every single day you set foot in the gym. Finally getting a handstand and being comfortable upside down was awesome to watch. Muscle-ups are close!
Fantastic experience: J3 is awesome. The atmosphere is what I need on a week day or a weekend, on a good day or a bad day ( because yes I am just human and I have bad days). The members are friendly and always smiling. But more importantly the coaches at J3 are very attentive. Every class I feel like I’m getting a private session. There’s no question of what I’m getting out of my membership. I get to work out, improve my fitness and feel good. I Highly recommend j3 if you are someone that is looking for Your workout place to be a welcoming and friendly place and a place that will care about your success in your personal goals as it relates to your health and fitness.
Thanks Georgeta! We're so happy you feel comfortable here and recognize the improvements you've made. Keep up the awesome work!
Fantastic experience: This is a great, super clean local Box equipped with lots of care & passion on behalf on the owners. The WODs were tough but manageable, which is a winning combination of CrossFit :). Everyone was more than welcoming and James -in particular- gives the place a nice shine! Easy to recommend. Joe & Lu
Luminita, thanks for dropping in all the way from Romania! I hope you guys enjoyed your stay and got home safe. Keep up the awesome work with CrossFit.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been at J3 for roughly 2 months, after having taken an 8 year workout hiatus. From day one, James and Tim made me feel welcomed, unashamed of being so out of shape, and motivated to reestablish healthy routines. After 2 months, and more healthy eating habits, I’ve dropped almost 10 pounds and can already feel my lungs, muscles, and motivation coming back. I’m super thankful to J3 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a gym in the Stamford area - particularly those who like the idea of CrossFit but are put off by the sometimes intimidating nature of it. -Sean Cribbin
Sean, sorry for the late reply but thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Always finding a time to come in even with a new baby at home! We love you always pushing the pace. Others in class always push a little harder when you're around.
Fantastic experience: James and Timmy are incredibly knowledgeable on exercising. Additionally, they can scale workouts down to accommodate anyone from a seasoned CrossFitter to a beginner trying to learn the ropes. I have been helped immensely as a direct result of their expertise and encouragement. I highly recommend joining J3.
Tom, glad we could help you finally reach your goal of becoming an FBI agent! You have a great career in front of you!
Fantastic experience: First of all, cleanest gym in town! The owners and athletes that train there obviously take great pride. This place offers intense workouts scalable to any fitness level. The people are fun, down-to-earth and very supportive of one another — it’s a true community. I love it
Julie, thanks for the kind words. We're so happy you get up every morning and come workout here. Your smile is contagious in the morning and brings everyone's mood up. You're always pushing yourself and continue to improve your fitness level. Never stop improving!
Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers, great workouts, and great community-feel. James is very thorough and knowledgeable on proper body mechanics. Tim brings loads of energy and fun into workouts. 100% recommend!
Natalie, we're long overdue to a reply to this, but really hope you're doing well in the City. Thanks for being a great part of the start of J3
Fantastic experience: I am no athlete ... but, I feel like one after each workout at J3. That’s because of knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced coaching and an inspiring, motivating, and supportive community. The workouts are varied and achievable — it’s not just about lifting weights, but it’s all about #breakingyourlimits!
T, you're more of an athlete than you think. Over the past year you've done so much that you didn't think you could do. Don't doubt yourself. Just keep pushing forward. Thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and atmosphere! Super clean gym and James & Timmy are so knowledgeable! Everyone makes you feel welcome also :)
C-bo, thanks for the review, WAY back in the day when we first opened. Means a lot that you were here to support us. Was great to see you a couple months back at the niner.
Fantastic experience: The WODs are always strong, Tim and James are great instructors, the gym is in a great spot and I like the class times.
