AMAZING!!! If that sums it up accurately...First I will say that I am not an avid Cross fit mogul nor am I a lover of the gym or a workout in general. But I absolutely LOVE 3E Cross Fit. I knew I needed to improve my overall health and well being as my habits were not the healthiest. I was struggling with being consistent on my own but value the importance of my health. I have paid personal trainers for hourly sessions, I was a member local YMCA and another local gym, I had a "workout buddy" and surprise, surprise I still couldnt "get it together". I just wasnt motivated with my hectic work schedule and lifestyle. I heard of Cross Fit and thought it would be "cool" if I could do something like that. Yet, when I looked around at local Cross Fit arenas I knew I would NEVER make it with their expectations, it was quite scary to watch. One lucky day I came across 3E on Google and researched the site. I called in and spoke with Matt who was really friendly, professional and inviting. He asked me questions pertaining to my workout needs and told me to come visit. When I did visit, he recalled our phone conversation and spoke as if we had known each other forever, I was impressed but still unsure. I observed the workout and then met the coach, that was it! I met Coach Ed whos knowledge far surpasses that of ANY trainer I have ever met (and I know quite a few) and his credentials put him in the upper spectrum on those in his field from nutrition to injuries and everything in between. In any given session you can see numerous individuals working doing regimens catered to their needs based on athletic and physical abilities all simultaneously. But dont be fooled, it is still very hard work. I wouldnt believe it if I did not see it myself. The service of the 3E crew, Ed, Terri and Matt exudes enthusiasm, excellence, motivation and dedication. After a few short months I am able to do things I NEVER thought I would be able to do because of the motivation of Coach Ed. I have back, knee and elbow complications and have always dreaded going to workout. I now look forward to going as often as I can and getting my "butt kicked" as coach teaches me ways to make my body strong without further increasing my injuries but instead healing them. Everyone I know hears my stories about the great 3E in Cheshire. I had one friend join and I am working to get others to make the same positive choice. It is such a well rounded atmosphere, its a one stop shop for all of your health and wellness needs. Everyone there is so friendly and inviting and the 3E crew always makes times for any and all questions. I will never stop working out at 3E Cross Fit,(remember I hate the gym). I have now incorporated it into my lifestyle.If I could shout if from the rooftops I would..The 3E Crew is the best that there is, Ed, Terri and Matt are first class. I feel great and am so motivated, excited and driven now that I must say thank you so very much Coach Ed, thank you 3E Cross Fit!!!!

Lets start off with there is a reason why all these reviews are 5 out of 5 stars. 3E Crossfit is by far the best gym that I have gone to. I have always wanted to get in better shape but hated going to the gym. I was skeptical if i would go so i bought a 3 times per week membership. I wish I new how much I like going here, because I would have bought unlimited times a week. Ed, the trainer, and the rest of the 3E staff are very friendly and helpful. Ed coaches each class and will give you one on one time, if needed, to help you develop proper lifting techniques. If he doesnt feel like you have the form correct he will not let you put weight on. At first, i was discouraged by this. However, after going here for a few months I am glad he did this. I try to push myself each day and without proper technique I can see how it would be easy to get hurt, however i have not seen anyone hurt themselves. The 3E family is friendly and also willing to help. If you need someone to spot you speak up and they will be there in a heartbeat. If you have a question about form they will be more then willing to answer your question. A lot of people when they go to normal gym they feel self conscious about what they are lifting or how they are doing their excersizes. I felt like this. At first when I joined Crossfit i felt like this too. Not because people made comments or were staring at me but because i made this a habit when i went to the gym (which is probably why I never went to the normal gym). After a few classes this went away because i noticed no one was staring, people were concentrating on their own lifting, and if you were struggling weather you are benching 200 pounds or just the bar people will cheer you on. Crossfit is for anyone and everyone. Whether your 18 and in perfect shape to 60 and have a gut. Ed will adapt the workout to you. No doubt a 5 out of 5 stars for 3E Crossfit and worth every penny. As long as i can afford it i will go to 3E Crossfit.

As a former college athlete, PE/Health teacher and high school coach I was looking for some time of exercise program that would keep me motivated and something enjoyable I could do to meet new people. I was introduced to CrossFit by my fiancee and was still skeptical on the concept until I went to the grand opening of 3e CrossFit in Cheshire. Ed, Terri, and Matt thoroughly impressed me with their personalities, professionalism and knowledge. I immediately fell in love with these people and they welcomed me with open arms like a family member. I signed up on a trial basis to leave myself the opportunity to back out if necessary, but I was quite the opposite. I am now a full fledged member and have been since the grand opening. I make coming to the gym my goal everyday even though life can get in the way. I have met so many nice people in a wide range of ages that I now consider my family. I enjoy coming to the gym and bouncing coaching ideas off Ed because his knowledge is overwhelming. No matter injuries, age, abilities or experience you will get a good challenging workout with just the right test of your mental and physical toughness but never compromise your health. Ed is the real deal not just in the CrossFit world but in the health and wellness world. I am now arguably the strongest I have ever been, performing well in all my sporting activities, eating healthier and have recently lost a significant amount of weight with ease due to the supportive staff and family I have obtained through 3e CrossFit. Please do yourselves all a favor and just come down to 3E and meet Ed, you wont be disappointed. Try a class once and you will become a family member for life.

I have been coming to 3E crossfit for roughly 3 months now. Now mind you, this is the first time I have ever signed up for a gym membership, so needless to say I was nervous, anxious, but mostly intimidated. Not sure if I would fit in. And not sure I would be any good at crossfit. Coach Ed does a fantastic job! He is personal, down to earth and ultimately and most sincerely, just wants to see you become a stronger and healthier you. He tailors all workouts to your specific needs, and will take the time to show you the correct movements, proper body form and individualize any specific exercise to your current body strength. And thats exactly what I needed. The gym (or box as crossfit calls it) is roomy, the facility is kept organized and clean, and most folks that go there have such a wonderful attitude, it was easy for me to become their friend right away. They are competitive, but in such an encouraging way. The camaraderie has been great, I have made some friends and I enjoy going there tremendously. I also admire coach Eds passion for what he does, the patience he has shown me and mostly for cultivating such a welcoming environment and fantastic facility in Cheshire for me to become a part of. Thank you!
