CrossFit Newark

Great class today at CrossFit Newark! The coach was attentive throughout, carefully watching our form and stepping in to correct even the smallest details to minimize injury risk. He gave clear tips on how to move more efficiently, breaking down each movement so it felt manageable but effective. I also appreciated how he guided us on pacing, helping me find a rhythm that challenged me without burning out too quickly. The energy of the gym is amazing - there’s a buzz in the air that motivates everyone to push a little harder. I left feeling both exhausted and energized, looking forward to coming back.

Great first class at the gym! Edgard was very helpful during my first experience with CrossFit.

I dropped in to the noon class today. Simone was attentive and thoughtful with her warm ups. The community was kind and inviting. I appreciate the hospitality!

Its always a pleasure!! Amazing

How has your coach helped you improve your strength?" My coach at CrossFit Newark has helped me improve my strength by providing clear guidance on proper form and technique. They personalize workouts to focus on my weak areas and consistently motivate me to push beyond my limits. Their feedback is constructive and timely, which helps me make steady progress without risking injury.

As always, Joe delivered a great session today.

My first day at this new CrossFit gym was an awesome experience, thanks to Coach Edgard L. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. Edgard took the time to explain the workout, corrected my form, and made sure I felt confident and safe throughout the class. The energy of the gym is great, and the coaching is truly top-notch. Highly recommend this place for anyone, whether you’re new to CrossFit or experienced!

Angela is very enthusiastic about cross fit, and she provides loud prompts throughout. This makes it easy to follow the workouts precisely as prescribed.

Coach Edgard is one of the best !! Has a way to keep us pushing and next thing you know the class is over ! Very knowledgeable, personable and amazing all around. Thanks coach

Wil was awesome! Elaborate, patient, and gave me good tips

I appreciate the energy you bring to the class. It really helps me learn. Thank you for your dedication.

Always his classes for me are very motivating and he follows up in each of the movements. Additional has a higher level of demand and that for me is the most motivating of his classes.

Love the classes with Will!!!

I'm usually really single minded and i'm not the most talkative person. When I'm at the gym, I'm usually laser focused on whatever the workout is - whether it’s a heavy bench press or some high intensity cardio workout. But that doesn’t mean I don’t care about my surroundings, and I’m really picky about the communities I join. That said, I do care deeply about things like community and people having each other’s backs - feeling like you belong and can push yourself to be the best that you can be. The thing I like about the Cedar Grove coaches like Angela, Sue, and the other coaches at Cedar Grove CrossFit is that they know exactly how to do that. They actively cultivate a culture that promotes a positive environment where everyone can thrive. They notice when someone’s struggling with form during class and step in to adjust, they check in with you if you seem off that day or just to have a quick chat. It’s clear they care about more than just getting a class to the finish line.That kind of atmosphere makes every session feel meaningful. It feels like i'm headed in the right direction. The coaches here should be very proud of what they've built!

Amazing class today!!! Coach will rocks

First 5AM class of 2026. Struggled to wake up… but felt great after class!!! Always a blast with coach Wil.

Sue Mignone Great class / time management Very good use of cues to meet athletes where they are at

Simone is always amazing. Very caring and attentive to everyone. Thank you

best coach in Newark! It’s been a therapy going to crossfit because of her. Thank you, coach!

Class was great this morning. Juan was very helpful and informative. I look forward to continuing to come to the 5 am class. Juan gave lots of encouragement on my technique and how I was progressing through the workout.

Thank you to the cedar grove coaches. In particular Angela and Alexa for always pushing me and beating me up just enough so that I keep coming back for more. Also, thanks to the community members for making it a fun place to come.

What’s one way this gym has changed your fitness journey?" CrossFit Newark has helped me build consistency in my workouts. The community keeps me accountable, and the coaches provide personalized guidance that fits my goals. I’ve noticed real progress in my strength and endurance since joining. The variety in programming also keeps things interesting and challenging.

I am so grateful for all the coaches at the gym. Thank you for creating an inclusive and welcoming community. I don’t think I would have stuck around if the coaches weren’t so great. Love you guys ❤️

I enjoyed my first class- They made me feel very comfortable to go at my own pace. Sean also explained how to do each workout and was very patient. I like the fact that the coach’s go around encouraging us and giving us tips during the workout. I definitely had a great first time experience and look forward to continuing.

Thank you so much for being there to support us.

Coach Wil is a pro! Wil is knowledgeable, helpful, positive, supportive.

She was awesome 👏 it was my first class and I loved .she was there all the time helping me 💯 recommend

Love Monday evenings with Edgard. He’s expertise in TECHNIQUE.

Brennan is a great coach. He provides great warm-ups to prepare for the workout and provides helpful technique adjustments to help me improve my form and to help me be more efficient in my lifts. Thank you!

Great experience.

The classes are great always with a lot of energy and provide you with all the instruments you need. The coach is incredible always aware that you do not make a wrong move, clarifying doubts and very well explaining her classes with examples. We love coach Simone..!

This feedback is for Alexa S. Unfortunately, her name is not on the coach name drop menu. Taking Alexa’s classes at CrossFit Newark throughout the years has been a great experience. What sets her apart is not just her deep knowledge of CrossFit techniques and programming, but also her genuine empathy for members who have physical limitations. She pays close attention during classes, noticing when someone struggles with a movement and then personalizing modifications to fit their needs. Alexa’s approach makes every workout challenging yet accessible, and she always encourages you without pushing beyond what you can handle. Her ability to balance expertise with understanding creates a supportive atmosphere that motivates you to keep coming back and improving.

Coach Simone will push you to go harder even when you don’t believe you can! She’s firm when needs to be & has a great, bubbly personality! ♥️♥️

I’m so grateful to be a member of this CrossFit community. It feels amazing to share one purpose with everyone: to be better than we were yesterday — the best version of ourselves. I’m so happy with all the coaches; you’re all incredible. Simon has been checking in on me even when I wasn’t around — thank you. And Sean… wow, another level 🫢🫢🫢 Sometimes I even dream that he’s yelling, “Yasmin, get your ass over here!” 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you to all the members for the constant push. You all make this feel like one big family. Nobody gets left behind. 💪❤️

Coach Simoe is great. Knowledgeable, patient and she brings a positive energy to the class ❤️

Angela was amazing!

Alexa is a smart coach. She excels at scaling at the right level making workouts challenging and at the right level. She isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and I enjoy the class every time she is coaching even when the WOD is hard.

From the start of my drop in to the end was a solid experience. The people were welcoming and loved the workout. If your ever in the area it's a 10/10 👍

Really great ! I was well instructed.

Wilmot was awesome and coached me through with ease on my first CrossFit training. I did not know what to expect, but many exercises were familiar and some on the bench were new. I tested my own strength and Wilmot was very encouraging in testing my limits. Highly recommended and looking forward to the next one.

It was very motivating from start to finish. She teaches really well, breaking down each movement clearly and making sure everyone understands proper form. During the workout, she noticed when I struggled with certain exercises and offered helpful adjustments that made a big difference. I loved how she kept the energy high without making it overwhelming, which kept me pushing through every set. This kind of coaching makes the whole experience feel rewarding and leaves me looking forward to coming back. CrossFit Newark has that motivating vibe that really helps you stay committed.

Great class with coach Alexa. Very knowledgeable, helpful and always motivating. Thank you!

Simone’s Sunday Hyrox class is the absolute worst addiction I’ve ever had. -I walk in all excited, thinking, “Yeah, I got this!” -Then see the workout and immediately regret every life choice. -Halfway, I’m mentally writing my will. -After, I promise myself I’m not doing this again. -And then the next Sunday rolls around and I’m like, “LFG!” If anyone knows of Hyrox group counseling or support group, please let me know. 😅

It was a great first time experience. Sebastian’s directions were clear and easy to follow. Would most definitely be coming back.

Great warm up, explains WOD very clearly! Encouraging call outs during workout! Great atmosphere!

Angela is a great coach! Keeps class on track and was helpful with form and helping me ease back in after a break!

Great class, clear and thorough!

Wil helped me adjust workouts despite having a sprained left hip! Also my posture needed correction which he caught right away, love that he pays attention to detail and fixes workouts/positions right away! Looking forward to more of his coaching!

Great! Beautiful way of getting back on the CrossFit road. Helpful and understanding about the situation with my wife who was in the class too. (she had an accident recently)

Renata was great today!! Informative, supportive, and timely! 🫶🏻

So good 🤩

Cienne was the coach today and it was my first time to try crossfit ever. I felt intimidated for sure as I walked in but once she guided me through the process and warmed up, I felt better about my movement! I’m glad she taught me proper body mechanics and corrected my form. She’s great!

Excellent. Great instruction. Incredible wod

Coach Pete is very positive and encouraging. It sure makes a lot easier to show up to CrossFit on a Monday at 5 am!

Pete you do a good job every class.

Akiko was great! She really knows her stuff and made me feel welcome. I learned a lot on my first time there. I can't wait to come back!

Ali is an amazing coach! Good with techniques and an impeccable teaching approach for all levels!

Foi a minha primeira experiência, muito grata a ela, me senti exclusiva. Obrigada 😘😘😘

I thought the class was excellent! I don't understand much English and he was super attentive in his explanations, 1000 out of 10! Thank you.

Michelle is by far my favorite coach. She gives me the motivation to get my butt to the gym

Es la Mejor😘😘

Great coach, explained all the exercises very well, told my girlfriend and I how to execute it properly. Super recommend

My coach was Sue Mignone. It was my first class and she was super nice and helpful! Definitely going back next class! Thank you

After 5 years without doing any exercise I finally had my first class today. Thank you for the amazing class, the attention, and for respecting our limits, what made all the difference

Great class! Ali is the best.

Coach Simone is the best! She challenges us, makes working out enjoyable, and overall motivates us on another level.

Today I worked out with Sue she was very articulate showing form of the movements and was helpful in the weight I was lifting. We did snatches which with the wide hand position and I was struggling on which weight I could do. I tried to push it but Sue helped me to take some off and find that balance to not sacrifice form. Very helpful. Thank you Sue

The class is super dynamic and lively, the teacher explains each movement and is always very attentive!! I highly recommend it!

Friendly and patient coach ✅

Coach Pete was excellent, assisting those who needed help and pushing everyone to reach their personal best.

Alexa was great. Always great, motivating us to do our best. Always enjoy her class to push me to my limits.

It was a great class, very informative and helpful w/ the tips on keep chest upright when coming up from squat.

Coach Simone was awsome today. She is very attentive to every member in the class. She makes sure everyone is safe and doing the proper technique. Motivates and pushes everyone to keep going.

Great I love the energy I will def come back

Very interactive session!

Great class. Good culture and coaching.

Sebastian absolutely made the difference !! He made me feel a lot more confident by helping me with a new routine !! I was finally able to finish by myself !💪great class today and always !! Thank you for your outstanding care towards your trainees 🙏!

I loved the class, coach Simone is very attentive and gave a great class. I already want to come back again.

I loved the class and I intend to keep going, They are very attentive and that is very important. That's what I loved 💪🏼

My first class was really cool. I haven't exercised in years and I intend to continue training.

I felt very comfortable with her

Pete was great! It was my first time and he made sure to explain everything to me and motivated me to finish all the exercises.

Alexa is one of my favorite coaches at Cross Fit Cedar Grove. She knows the athletes levels well, and calibrates her coaching to each individual and knows exactly how to push them. Her personalized approach is so helpful, and when she says “good job!” You know she really means it. She’s also funny and makes classes very fun.

I think Brennan is a great coach. He gives a lot of helpful advice but my sense is that he also doesn’t want you to get too much in your head about it

Today was my first class with Coach Sebastian, and I’m really impressed! He took the time to understand my fitness goals and made sure I was comfortable with each movement while still pushing me to challenge myself. His energy is motivating, his instructions are clear, and he creates a very supportive environment. Looking forward to the next sessions!

Today I had Joe at cedar Grove.. What I loved was.. He didn't over coach.. He recognized our skill level.. And knew what small tips would improve our performance... Put me in a better position twice

Today’s session was exactly what I needed — challenging, well-structured, and motivating. Angela brought great energy from the start and kept it consistent throughout the workout. What stood out most was Angela’s attention to form and safety. She offered me clear cues and personalized corrections, which helped me push myself without risking injury. Angela did an amazing job keeping everyone moving and motivated. I especially appreciated the encouragement during the final round and it made a difference. Always a great session with Angela’s consistent energy, smart coaching, and just a great vibe overall.

Justin has helped so much with getting stronger and technically better with the lifts. I would not have progressed as quickly or even at all without his help.

Cienne is always helpful without being pushy-great coach!

Ali was awesome! Very welcoming and encouraging! Look forward to coming back!

Coach helped me with my split jerks❤️

Fantastic. Great attention to everyone and motivational when needed. Definitely will become a fixture in her class.

Hi Sebastian! Appreciated the step by step for how to set up the power snatch; working with the barbell is new to me so the breakdown was helpful. Overall great coaching!

Simone did an amazing job in making me feel welcomed, she assured me if there was anything I needed not to hesitate.

It was amazing I’ll look forward to continuing going to her class I love it

It was my first time and she made me feel very comfortable. She walked me through the exercises and motivated me to keep going.

Wilmot was excellent today. I appreciate his feedback during exercises and encouragement to keep pushing even when it was tough.

She’s amazing !!!! 🤩

She is an excellent coach💪 and a good person 🤝

It was an amazing experience, and the coach was very attentive and patient. He taught me everything in a very detailed and caring way.

Coach Edgard should coach the Jets! 💪 awesome work!

Eu amei a Simone, explicou muito bem tudo.

Wilmot has been patient and attentive to me since I started classes, I was scared because it’s my first time doing CrossFit and he made it so easy for me to attend future classes by teaching how to work out properly and safely. Excellent instructor and thanks for your help.

Wilmot was very helpful,

Amazing. Coaches me on form and helped get me through the emom

Very good class

Simone was very approachable and attentive to making sure I knew what was happening in the class. Overall everyone was very friendly, and I would definitely return back!

Coach Sebastian is hands on all the way! He will try to find ways to accommodate the workout to your fitness levels. As well as push you and give you the confidence to complete the workouts or specific skills

He’s a great professional — I always learn a lot from him! His classes are excellent.

As always, Wil is super engaged, enthusiastic, and prepared. Brings great energy every time and knows how to push you the right way. Makes workouts fun and effective... I can’t ask for more in a coach.

Sean is an outstanding coach, very caring, attentive and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed his class!

Coach Sean is hands down one of the best CrossFit coaches I’ve ever had! I absolutely love his dry, sarcastic humor — it somehow makes the toughest workouts feel a little more bearable (and even fun). He has a gift for making you feel comfortable and welcome, no matter your fitness level, while still pushing you to your absolute limit. Every class with him feels like a perfect mix of challenge, progress, and a good laugh. Highly recommend Coach Sean if you want to grow stronger and enjoy the process!

Ali is always great. Makes the class energetic and motivates you to finish strong. Always ensures that you understand each movement of the workout and corrects if form isn’t right.

I've been doing CrossFit for a few years now, and Coach Ali is hands-down one of the best coaches I’ve trained with. Their ability to break down complex gymnastics movements like muscle-ups, handstand walks, and toes-to-bar is incredible — every cue is clear, and they always have helpful progressions no matter your skill level. They also run classes with impressive consistency and structure — everything flows smoothly, and no one is left guessing what's next. Even when the class size fluctuates, Ali does a fantastic job adjusting the WOD or equipment setup so that everyone gets a great workout without feeling rushed or overcrowded. You can tell they genuinely care about the athletes and are invested in helping each person improve. Whether you're new to gymnastics or working on refining your skills, Ali is the coach you want in your corner!

Coach Simone Her motivational skills are remarkable; she inspires athletes to push their limits while fostering a positive and encouraging environment. Simone is always attentive to form and technique, ensuring that everyone practices safely and effectively. Moreover, her ability to build a strong community among her crossfit family makes training not just about fitness but also about camaraderie and support. Simone is a great coach, combining motivation, and a genuine passion for helping others achieve their goals.

Simone is an excellent coach during group classes. She will pop out of nowhere to correct my posture (when I am wrong) or motivate me to squeeze that last few reps in however she shines the most in my opinion during her gymnastics class. I learnt to do 10 unbroken kipping pull ups from half; can manage 5 T2B from 0 and improved my handstand push ups..Her skillful methods makes you 1 degree better every class and before you know it, the aha moment comes..

Coach Simone is one of a kind. She has been an incredible support throughout my (still short) crossfit journey. She is always pushing me to do better while guiding me with patience and clarity. Super approachable, easygoing, and someone who genuinely cares about helping me improve! 100% makes crossfit workouts super enjoyable!

If you're lucky enough to have Coach Simone lead your class, you know you're in for something special. She’s the perfect balance of encouraging, tough, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable — everything you’d want in a great coach. She has this amazing ability to push you beyond what you thought you could do, all while making you feel completely supported and confident along the way. Whether you're brand new or experienced, she meets you where you are and somehow manages to bring out your best every time. Her energy is contagious, her cues are always spot-on, and her attention to detail makes every class feel purposeful and safe. She creates an environment that challenges you physically while nurturing your mindset — and that’s a rare gift. Every time she coaches, the class feels like a win. Truly one of the best!

Simone was great! Coach was very detailed and made me comfortable for my first time attending.

Coach was great! Awesome instructions and coaching through out. Kept class motivated and push us towards better results!

Coach Simone was attentive, informative, and welcoming. They’ve fostered a great community at Crossfit Newark and the gym is clean and organized. Will definitely be back!
