From the knowledgeable coaches to the sweetest community. From the programing to the results you can see. From the shared journeys to first bumps and personal records you hit along the way. ‘The Rack’ is the heart of what CrossFit is all about. They’re not pulling cars, there’s no ego lifting, there’s just love and support of your growth in fitness and life. My advice to beginners is if you’re feeling uneasy the first or second day in class give it time and be patient because the payoff is absolutely worth it. You don’t need to be super fit to start. Trust the staff, trust the process and let them guide you to where you want to be.

One of the best decisions and investments in myself I've made. I can't say enough great things about CFTR. From the coaches to the community everything about this gym is great. The coaches really care about helping you succeed and they know exactly how much to push you to better yourself and your form on any and all exercises. The community so far has been nothing but welcoming and encouraging. Don't hesitate take it from someone who's always been shy to try something new. You will not regret it! Thanks to all the coaches and the community for the support so far!

Where to start…got this as a Groupon deal back in 2019 and it continues to be the best $25 I’ve ever spent.As a clinician in the musculoskeletal space, the coaches here prioritize good technique and safety above all. They know they’re stuff and I would trust them without hesitation to train any of my family or close friends. I’ve been active most of my life, but nothing describes the high I get going to a CrossFit class. The facility is clean, shower nicer than some hotel showers, and they are stocked with quality high protein and recovery products. On top of being master technicians, the coaches are well versed in nutrition, ways to modify movements for any injury or condition, and always make sure everyone comes out with a good workout. At CFTR, I was able to safely continue doing CrossFit through to 38 weeks pregnant with my first child and shortly after being cleared postpartum found myself at open gym working with the coaches to rebuild my core and my relationship with the barbell. I will always be grateful to the coaches at CFTR for making sure I could continue to be an athlete at all life stages.Speaking of life. The second and probably biggest thing that keeps me coming back is the community. There is never any judgment or ill feelings towards anyone. People and athletes from all levels of fitness and walks of life united with the goal to keep themselves functional and active for as long as possible. I found my village here when I was going through some personal life challenges; and I will be grateful to that village for never letting me quit on myself. As a single mother, they made sure I still had “me time” at the gym. The community will become family, whether you meant it or not. :)All that said, I’m at the fittest I have ever been. I have the best relationship with food and the healthiest body image that I have ever had. I also know that I have an entire community to keep myself accountable and spiritually, physically, and mentally well.Come try a class. You won’t regret it.

Until starting at The Rack, the last time I consistently worked out was... high school? So I was more than a little nervous before showing up to the introductory session with Dmitriy and Kendra. The only thing I knew about "CrossFit" was that it got credit for making a few of my childhood friends into enormous men of muscles. Very few things could've been more intimidating. Still, I walked in because I trusted the friend who recommended that I give it a try.That was 3 months ago. Since then, I've been shocked by how much I enjoy it, enough to regularly attend 4 classes per week. The truly outstanding, supportive, knowledgeable coaches and wonderful fellow members deserve most of the credit for my consistent streak. In fact, the sense of community at the Rack was the biggest and nicest surprise. The secondary, also excellent surprise has been the results! I'm in better shape now than I've been in years and continue to improve my strength and fitness... and looking better in my clothes (except for a fair few that are now too big!!!) is a pretty great perk, too.I've recommended the Rack to everyone who will listen and am now putting it in writing. They are the best!

CrossFit the Rack is an excellent facility with one of the friendliest CrossFit communities that I have ever been to. All the coaches and members are very personable and have positive and encouraging attitudes that make working out at this gym a pleasure. The coaches are mindful of your fitness level and will provide feedback and tailor any of the workouts to help you perform your best and achieve your fitness goals. If you live in the area or are just visiting, I recommend dropping in for a good workout with good people.

Beginning my day at CrossFit The Rack sets me up for the best day possible. CFTR personalizes their coaching and the workouts to each member’s level of fitness and goals. Each member gets individualized attention while still enjoying the community of a group setting. The variety of class times offered work with any schedule whether you are commuting into the city, raising a young family, working from home or like to burn off steam after a stressful day. As a ‘master’ athlete, my goal is to keep my mind and body strong to help me age gracefully. At CFTR, the coaches work with me on whole-body health such as agility, strength and overall fitness, as well as nutrition. To top it off, the facility is clean and well equipped. Just show up with a good attitude and they take care of the rest.

CFTR is a super-friendly, family-oriented place where you or your kids can get a great workout using a variety of equipment to keep your body strong and healthy. I have quite a few friends there now, and I have seen everybody open up to new-comers and CrossFit veterans alike.

As a woman in her mid 40s, mother, full time in the corporate world, CFTR has been the place for me to mentally reset, de-stress and focus on myself and my fitness goals. When I first signed up at CFTR, 2 things stood out the most to me...First, as soon as you walk in the door you will find a very supportive and welcoming group of people. You will find that everyone is there for some of the same reasons you are - which may include goals to get through the workouts together, motivating each other or challenging themselves to ultimately become a healthier version of themselves.Second, the amazing coaches. They are all very knowledgeable and will guide you in scaling and/or performing the different workouts properly. You will constantly have that one on one interaction and can openly ask them any questions you may have.I would highly recommend anyone looking to start their fitness journey to try out CFTR!

A great environment from every aspect.I workout at The Rack 6 times a week. Most do not voluntarily go anywhere with that frequency without good reason.The coaches truly care about my fitness goals; they know me well, both my limitations and my capabilities. Their knowledge is exceptional.Come to this gym, you may never leave.

The Rack changed my life. It's a great gym with great programming, great people and great coaches. The individual attention and support is unparalleled. I have tried other Crossfit gyms in the area and they do not compare. If you're looking for a new gym in Northern Bergen County, this is the one.

If you’re looking for a place that is both welcoming and challenges you to be the fittest version of yourself, look no further. What makes CFTR special is that every fellow athlete I’ve met here comes with a different story, skill level, or goal. If you’ve always wanted to do a pull-up, run a marathon, lose body fat, build muscle, increase your Olympic lift PRs there is no end to the amount of support you’ll find here. The CFTR coaches emphasize form and technique above rankings on the leaderboard and are able to cater the daily programming so that everyone comes out feeling accomplished. Whether you’re new to CrossFit or a veteran, you will find a place here. And likely find yourself coming back every day after :)
