Awesome gym! I initially was intimidated by cross fit but this gym is the most welcoming and inclusive community. All skill levels welcome and they really help you learn the fundamentals and excel, regardless of your experience. As someone who works from home getting out of the house for a workout is critical, and I always leave the gym with a smile on my face thanks to the coaches and community.

Override North is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to! The environment here is incredibly supportive, with coaches and members alike creating a true sense of camaraderie. Every workout feels like a team effort where everyone cheers each other on, pushing you to reach your best.

Coach Eric is fantastic—always smiling and checking in to make sure you’re on track. His positivity is contagious! Coach Dee brings so much energy and encouragement; her bubbly personality is matched with a drive to challenge you just right. Coach Steph always knows the perfect thing to say to keep you motivated and pushing yourself, even when you’re ready to quit!

My friends and family love joining for Bring a Friend Week, and Murph is always a highlight here—there’s something about that event that really brings everyone together! Every so often, we also gather in Thomaston at the original box, where we get the chance to meet other athletes and their families, building an even stronger community across locations.

Override North’s newsletters keep me informed and motivated, with updates on the gym, athlete highlights, and tips that add to the experience. The location is super convenient, right off Route 44, making it easy to get to from anywhere nearby.

If you’re looking for a place that’s not just a gym but a community, I can’t recommend Override North enough. They truly care about each member’s progress, and it shows every time I step through the doors! I encourage you to follow us on Instagram for a peek!

Such a great place! I’ve never committed to a gym in my life even though I wanted to, but never felt connected to the workouts. I actually look forward to attending classes and all of the coaches are truly special in their own way. Override provides such a great sense of community and everyone is always so supportive and kind. Love this place!

Absolutely love Override North!!! I had been “bopping” between gyms for over 3 years trying to find the right fit for me. Override is it! From the second I walked in the door I felt at home. This gym has such a great community of people. We just recently completed a nutrition challenge, which was so informative and extremely motivating. The coaches really care and are always there to answer any questions and push you. I am so happy I found Override North!

I’ve been training at this CrossFit gym for a while now, and I can’t recommend it enough. The coaches are truly fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and always ready to offer support and guidance. They really focus on helping each member reach their individual goals.

The programming is well thought out, ensuring that every workout is challenging yet accessible. There are plenty of scaling options available, so everyone, regardless of fitness level, can participate and push themselves.

What really stands out is the sense of community. Everyone here is supportive and encouraging, making it a welcoming environment for both newcomers and seasoned athletes. It’s a great place to work hard and grow together.

TL;DR - If you're looking for a fun group fitness class, a challenging/rewarding workout program, or just an inspiring community, come here - it's all of that and more.

The long version - I started coming here a little under two years ago as I had just gotten bored with working out and wanted to meet some new people. I didn't know anything about CrossFit but through a google search I found this gym in the area so I dropped in for an intro. I've never looked back.

The coaches are incredibly supportive to you as an individual, making you feel like a valued member and not just a client. You'll get as much detailed instruction and support as you want to help you achieve not just your fitness goals, but your personal ones too. Everyone in the community is here to support you and make you feel like you belong and that you can surpass your own expectations.

I'm so grateful to have found this place, not only has my fitness now exceeded my high school athlete/college powerlifting days, but I've come a long way in handling a lot of personal baggage I've been carrying. If you happen to be reading this, If you're considering joining I hope you give this place a try and have the same experience.
