CrossFit 516 - Mineola Tom OBeirne: I joined CrossFit 516 exactly one year ago, and Ive gained so much more than I expected. The coaches, the people, and the atmosphere make it so much more than just a gym you go to before or after work. Its a place you look forward to returning to every time you leave.
After feeling like I had reached the limit of what I could achieve on my own at a chain gym, I joined Crossfit516 after doing research into CF. After training at CrossFit 516 for the past 12 months, Im confident it was the right decision.
Many members have been here for over a decade, and its not uncommon to meet people who have left other CrossFit locations to train here.
One of the best parts for newcomers is the intro program, which is perfect for easing into the workouts. The coaches are experts and genuinely care about your progress. The workouts are intense but scalable, making them accessible to all fitness levels.
I joined at 39, and there are members younger and older, so neither your age nor current fitness level should hold you back from checking out CrossFit516.
One-on-one coaching is available, and training with Coach Ellen has been one of the best decisions Ive made (and Ive made a lot of great decisions).
Initially, I planned to do a few sessions to learn more about Olympic lifting, avoid bad habits, and perform better in class, but Im going into week 24 and its far exceeded the goals and expectations I initially set. Its rare to get more out of something than you hope for, but that has defined my experience here. Theres always something new to learn in CrossFit, and its also a lot of fun.
Whether youre in class next to someone training for the Open or "just" staying in shape, everyone is welcoming. If youre looking for a place to redefine your limits, achieve your fitness goals, and be part of an amazing community, CrossFit 516 wont let you down.
The longevity of Crossfit516 speaks for itself. The coaches are incredible, and their love of CF makes training here nothing but a great experience.
