What can I say about CrossFit Valkyrie but that it is not only a place to workout with VERY attentive coaches, but it is also a home full of wonderful people that will quickly become your friends and family! I have a very busy schedule between work and Spartan races and last year I wasn’t training properly, if at all – Spartan races EVERY weekend were my workouts and I thought that was enough – until I got injured and needed knee surgery at the end of the year. After that I went into a downward slump and felt pretty lost! It wasn’t until I walked through the doors at CrossFit Valkyrie in January that everything fell into place. I found myself again. Not once was I made to feel like I didn’t belong there. The coaches are all very caring and do everything to make sure that you don’t get injured or further any injury you may have. I have to say I had a lot of setbacks with my knee until then, but I was taught what I should and shouldn’t be doing – when to push myself and when to rest. They are all very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with CrossFit (which can be very daunting for some!) from Day One, listening to every question I had, every concern and anxiety as I geared up for my very first race since surgery just last year. I wouldn’t say I’m the easiest person to work with as I’m pretty stubborn and headstrong in the things I want to do and accomplish but at CrossFit Valkyrie it’s not just about the workout, it’s about preparing you for life. They will put you through workouts and make them fun and challenging – never making you feel like you can’t finish what you started. In addition to the CrossFit, there are Boot Camp workouts, ruck training and just good old-fashioned fun! Anyone who does a Spartan race, or any OCR for that matter, knows that it’s more mental toughness than physical – your body will quit before your mind does. I was both physically and mentally ready for my first race – this time everything felt different and my body reacted differently and quickly adapted to what I was putting it through – and I had only been with CrossFit Valkyrie for 2 months! If that isn’t a testament on how their methods get to progress quickly I don’t know what is! Hard work and dedication goes both ways – my medals are “Always Earned, Never Given” – and this year all my medals go to CrossFit Valkyrie because as far as I’m concerned if it wasn’t for my coaches I wouldn’t be where I am today to be able to finish a race – so I’m giving them what they’ve earned – and anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about racing and how much I love my medals! It’s all about striving for what you think you can’t do – “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can do what others can’t” – and CrossFit Valkyrie has taught me just that…I can do anything I put my mind and body to. “You’ve been afraid, you’ve been exhausted, you’ve wanted to quit more times than you can remember. You just didn’t” – words from my coach just before my first race when I semi-panicked that I wasn’t ready and he told me I was – I don’t think there’s any other place where you can get motivation like that. I know that even if I’m not feeling well or don’t really feel like working out, I will still go to CrossFit Valkyrie and immediately feel that motivation from the coaches and others around me. Had it been any other gym, I may have just skipped working out all together. I’m not only a Spartan but I’m also a Valkyrie and it is very comforting to know that as I wander from race to race I am no longer lost, I always have a home to come back to! So take a chance…walk on in, meet the coaches, meet the family…and never look back…that’s what I did and my life has been changed forever! :)

I have been through so many fitness programs in my life and none of them come close to the program at CrossFit Valkyrie. One of my favorite parts about it is that it is impossible to get bored there. Every day the workouts are different, the only thing that is the same about every workout is that they will ALL thoroughly kick your butt into shape! Each workout will challenge you and push you to do things you never thought you could. That does not mean you need to be a lifetime athlete to join this gym. Even if you have never exercised a day in your life you will be welcomed at Valkyrie and supported by the coaches and your fellow members every step of the way. Let’s forget about the workouts completely for a minute because as amazing as they are the workouts are not what makes Valkyrie truly amazing. What makes Valkyrie truly amazing is the sense of community you will feel from your first day at the box on. If you walk into Valkyrie on any given day what you will see is support and guidance. You will see members helping each other power through an intense workout. You will see coaches providing motivation and monitoring form to make sure everyone is performing the movements safely. You will see a group of people who care about each other. Safety and form is a priority at Valkyrie. Each member receives extensive instruction on proper form and technique. Modifications are made available to anyone who may need them, so, if it is an injury that is stopping you from joining CrossFit don’t let it stop you from joining CrossFit Valkyrie. Each class there is a significant amount of time spent on mobility in order to get your body moving more fluidly and prevent injury. CrossFit Valkyrie will make you stronger, faster and more importantly it will provide you with the opportunity to form relationships that are equally as strong, if not stronger, than your body will be after training at CrossFit Valkyrie!

Walking into this gym was one of the best decisions I have made. This gym not only offers top of the line equipment, a clean facility, coaches that are certified and knowledgeable in all aspects of physical fitness, but also offers a strong community of support. No matter what level of fitness you are at ( former athlete, current athlete, trying to get back in shape, new to fitness) you are welcome at this gym. The coaches focus on personal fitness and will correct you immediately if you are doing something wrong to prevent injury. If you are injured they will work with you to make adjustments without further injury. Class times are offered throughout the day making it easy to find the time to make your workout. Classes are varied with new workouts each day, you will never be bored. The location is easy to get to and has plenty of parking. There are parks near the gym that allow you to complete workouts safely away from traffic while also having a great view of the Hudson River. The community of the gym is supportive and encouraging. It will push you past boundaries you didnt think you would be able to accomplish. If you are looking for a gym to become a member of and not just a "membership" this is your place.

I joined Crossfit Valkyrie about 3 months ago. Never having done any form of Crossfit before, I wasnt really sure what to expect. In short, Im blown away... Ive been working out in gyms/healthclubs on and off for more then half of my life, so naturally I thought I was in pretty decent shape. That was, at least, until I did my first WOD lol. Its ok, now I know where I stand, have new goals, and the motivation to achieve them. That motivation by the way, is due in large part to the phenomenal group of people that I am fortunate enough to get to work out with and the awesome instructors who teach the classes. The environment here is always encouraging and always supportive. The instructors are all highly skilled and highly professional! Ive worked with Mike, Martin, Dennis, Kent, Scarlette, and Lucas and I can honesty say that they are all pretty damn awesome. Listen, if you are serious about getting into shape, becoming a better version of yourself, pushing beyond your mental barriers, and having a little fun in the meantime, then Crossfit Valkyrie is the way to go.
