Dropped in on Tuesday 7/13 for 6am class...Great WOD and really nice coach.Hope to be back next time I am in town

This gym is definitely a special place. Shane and Angie are awesome at helping you find where youre at and getting you where you want to be. All you have to do is show up consistently and go all in.Also they keep this place very clean which these days is more important than ever.

This place and the people will change your life. Top notch coaching. Supportive and friendly environment. Youll make lifetime physical and mental changes and walk away with a few new friends too

I was visiting here to cheer up my friends participating in a completion. The gym is way bigger than where I workout. Setup is perfect. Loved the space. The couch who runs the store is incredible. I was super impressed the way completion was organized.

Come. To. This. Gym. Sometimes the name CrossFit can be a bit daunting but there’s no better place to see that it’s accessible and fun as all hell for anybody excited by the thought of a challenge / power hour of fitness. LThey offer a couple different types of classes and I highly recommend coming in for the earliest ones. They do a free first session for newbs. Definitely check it out

An amazing facility with even more amazing members and staff! Everyone is very welcoming, workouts are intense but fun! The staff are truly committed to helping you achieve your goals and creating plans to stay on track.

I dropped in with a friend for a weekend- boot camp and wod. I’ve dropped in to a lot of gyms across the country and this one is by far my favorite! The coaches are so encouraging and give amazing feedback. The people are welcoming and friendly. The space is huge and full of clean, top notch equipment. Programming was challenging in a good way. Shane, the owner is the nicest and full of energy! I miss this gym even when I’m home. If I could give it 500 stars I would!

A very friendly atmosphere.Coaches are very thorough when explaining the movements and they always mention scaled versions for each of the movements for beginners. They check everyone during the workout to make sure movements are done properly. This all means zero risk of injury, which is a big plus especially for beginners.

The BEST crossfit gym in the 518! Want to feel at home and part of the family the second you walk in the door? this is the place. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE is friendly and accepting whether you are a drop in, a regular, or a new member. The Coaches are attentive and classes are structured and scheduled in the best way. Always a great workout and great time!

Great drop in experience! Messaged this business the evening before my drop in and Shane replied within minutes. Workout included a warmup, mobility/technique work, and 2 wods. Shane gave me some great feedback on my snatch form. Thanks Shane!

I am a college student and ended up doing my on ramp 101 elsewhere. My very first CrossFit class was at Shatter. Honestly, leaving this gym when I graduated was such a loss. I dont think I will find another owner who is as dedicated to his gym and its members as Shane. He makes everyone feel as if they are meant to be there. The atmosphere is great. The workouts kick butt. Shatter taught me to love CrossFit. I hope to find a gym half as good as Shatter in the future.

I have been here for only a few weeks and I can tell you one thing, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Shane and Lucille are experienced, helpful and really care about your fitness goals. I have also never seen a team environment as I have seen here. Everyone wants everyone else to succeed. I highly recommend CrossFit Shatter for everyone.

Crossfit Shatter is a great place to workout. I was never really athletic or very strong and when I started there I could barely use the 15lb training bar. Now I can back squat 115lbs! The encouragement from the coaches and the other members is incredible! I love the supportive atmosphere and actually look forward to going to the gym. No matter what your fitness level you can feel welcome.

Best crossfit gym. Knowledgeable and fun trainers that are always making me laugh. A warm and welcoming place for anyone who wants to get fit and have fun. The trainers explain all the movements at every class and make sure you are performing them with the correct form so you dont get injured, unlike my experience at crossfit 518.

If youre dropping in, this is the gym to go to in Albany. Others in the city dont come close.Equipment is equipment; space is space; no matter where you go- but Shatter has a perfect example of Crossfit: Instant sense of community, and coaches who are exceptional.

I dropped in for a class a couple months ago, and when I went back this morning Shane immediately recognized me and welcomed me back. Unfortunately, I showed up for a class that was cancelled for the summer, but Shane told me to stay and work out anyway...and then he ended up doing the WOD with me! If that isnt someone who loves what he does and cares about his business, I dont know what is. Everyone else Ive met there has also been really nice, and there seems to be a good mix of experience levels, so dont feel intimidated about dropping in. I think its safe to say that this is now my go-to box when Im in Albany.

This is the best gym have ever been to, by a long margin. This has got many barbells, lots of plates, many heavy dumbbells, tires, rowers, assault bikes, skiers, etc. But I guess, so does many other good gyms/boxes. What makes this the best is its people. Angie, Kyle, Zak, Seamus, and Shane are the best trainers I have ever met. They will hammer on proper form till you get it right, and that there is always an exercise for you whatever you current fitness level is. They fill the atmosphere with a level of enthusiasm that will push you through those WODs. The crossfitters here are one of the most welcoming and encouraging bunch of people I have ever come across. All of this accumulate into an experience that is thoroughly enjoyable and, often, cathartic. I wish I had found this before.

After trying many gyms in the Albany area, I became a member at Shatter because of the great workouts and incredible community!

The coaches invest in your development. The people invest in your social welfare. The community drives consistent progression in everything it touches. One of my favourite places in New York.

Great environment, great staff, great workout! Really happy I found this place.

I travel to a few different boxes from time to time. This one is at the top of the list when it comes to proper form and execution. Zack goes over the moves very clearly before the wod starts. This is perfect for those of us who need a quick refresher before it all starts. Crossfit can be challenging and a review is always helpful. You will be challenged !I will return to crossfit Shatter.

Coaches are amazing motivators and have extensive knowledge, shatter community is very warm and welcoming

Solid gym with a bunch of solid people. Glad I joined

Crossfit can be scary, but with staff like Shatters, it is only fun. I am a current member there and have also avoided gyms and routine exercise (which made me overweight and out of shape) most of my life. Deciding to join crossfit can be a radical change from exercise you have tried before, but Shatter is for everyone! The athlete, the teacher, the high schooler, the mom....Shatter represents everything from the hardcore crossfitters to the beginners and everything in between. I owe my new love for fitness to Shane (owner) and the staff at Shatter for never giving up on us and always pushing us through.

My favorite box when I visit Albany. Great people!!

Amazing atmosphere and coaching staff!

Excellent
