I’ve been a CrossFit member at CrossFit East Providence for almost 5 years, and let me tell you, it was a life change for me !! I could never motivate myself to stick with weight training of any sort until I found this. It has helped me build and maintain strength, and its really fun. I met amazing people!! Each class feels like such an accomplishment. The Coaches are very encouraging and caring . Every class has a coach and they help you until the end of the class.CrossFit East providence is a fun place to workout, clean box and great people. Coach Josh welcomes all levels, he’s also willing to work with you at you needs .Drop in and try it out ! The best place to be !!!
One of the best CrossFit gyms I have ever been affiliated with and been doing CrossFit for ten years, the owner is very engaging and provides a service to all his members. He makes time for everyone based on their skill and level to ensure they hit the core value of what CrossFit is. Despite any negative reviews, I have been there for about two years now and never seen anything that would promote a negative experience. Five star service and integrity.
I have been a member of CFEP for over a year, and my fiancé over two years. The community that the owner fosters is unparalleled, and I’ve never experienced actually wanting to go to the gym until I joined here. I joined to get myself healthy again, and stayed for the people. I’ve made lifelong friends here, and have done things I never imagined I could. I ran my first 10 mile road race this year and am currently training for a marathon as well. I would have laughed if someone told me a year ago that this is where I’d be. Between my fiancé and I, we have lost ~160 lbs. I recommend CFEP to everyone and will continue to do so. What are you waiting for??!
Supremely disappointed. Was a mostly satisfied member in past, but just didn’t feel like this was the place for me anymore. Owner refused to accept that I was genuinely not happy with the product. Also, truly poor environment. Oly coach advised me and two others to get 10 class punch cards at another gym “to have another set of eyes on us”…. It was going to cost me more for the coaching I want and was already paying for. One coach gave me a method to practice and owner kept saying I have a hitch without realizing he was contradicting another coachs advice. My skills definitely deteriorated with the conflicting and uninformed coaching. Inconsistency with coaching knowledge, lack of communication and tolerance of clowns ruining classes for other paying members are all contributing factors to an over all poor experience. I will stand up for myself when members make violent threats. When I raised concerns about it I was completely written off. Sad to say this place has become just about money and not about the quality of product or experience. I tried over several months to reasonably communicate with the owner, and make it work but just kept coming up completely dissatisfied. The owner knew of my on going unhappiness and concerns, but completely lacks empathy or care. Grossly the emphasis is on being thin rather than having proper, technical skills. Great skills are necessary and sustainable while fad gimmicks to get skinny wont last. Do not waste your money. Owner robbed me with promises and bull shiz. Hed rather burn a bridge than preserve a connection all for money. Do your homework. Trust your instincts and go elsewhere.
Great food friendly people.
Awesome place!The coaches are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Theyre always aware of what youre doing and that the form is proper so that you dont get injured.Zero intimidation and I recommend this place for anyone that wants to make a positive change in their life.
With the new management this box has come a long way. . The new owners are on point, coaching is superb. 10AM class is the best class to attend because is only a few of us although i have a feeling it will start filling up . The afternoon classes are very popular. If you are starting out the 10am class is the best time to attend, and for me 10am is just very convenient as well.No traffic! Coach Joshua def is there TO push you to be your best! I never thought of doing an open competition until i was motivated by Coach Joshua to enter, I am glad I did. I have been attending three times a week non-stop for almost two months, i am getting stronger and my movements are getting better, and having all the girls supporting each other as well as the coaches is really a great motivator to continue on and improve. I def recommend this box!
Love the owners & staff. Very attentive to individual needs. Feels like family!
Crossfit East Providence is a great facility! As soon as I walk in, the music and energy pumps me up and gets me ready for a workout. Every movement can be modified to ensure you work up a sweat and achieve your goals while strengthening your whole body. The coaches are there to teach, motivate, and reinforce safety while pushing you to get better and stronger every single workout!
Has an awesome atmosphere. Very helpful and motivating. A great group to train with.
The coaches at EP Cross-fit are motivating and inspiring. Every exercise can be scaled according to your ability so each person feels like they have a personal trainer even though it is a class environment.
Awesome CrossFit box. Best coaches ever!
Good, intense workout, and friendly atmosphere! Very welcoming to beginners and experienced alike.
Staff very helpful can’t go wrong
Cool
I have been a member @ CFEP for 3 years and it is my home away from home. I moved back to RI after living out of state 20 years and didn’t have many friends still living here. Nearly my entire friend base now is fellow gym members. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the environment is family friendly. I have never been a morning person but I now make it to the 5am class due to the quality of coaching and the chance to see my friends on a daily basis. The owner also plans social events from time to time so we can all spend time together outside the gym. I would recommend this box without reservation. At CFEP you will find a safe place to workout free from judgement and full of support to help you to live your best life
I want a refund of membership fees totaling $1600.00 from Crossfit East Providence (CFEP)/Joshua Medeiros. I have a copy of the cashed check payable to Joshua Medeiros, owner of CFEP, on April 8, 2021 in the amount of $1600.00. There was no written membership agreement.I was misled to join CFEP by owner Joshua Medeiros during a meeting at CFEP on Wednesday, January 27th 2021. Mr. Medioros promised that CFEP was a CrossFit & Weightlifting gym, and I relied on these promises. Based on these promises I paid Mr. Medioros and CFEP $1,600 for a one year membership. Upon realizing I had been misled about the weightlifting: coaching, services and space CFEP offered I immediately requested a refund of my membership fee. At no point was I informed that the fee was non-refundable, nor was there any written membership agreement. In addition to the material misrepresentation, CFEP did not offer a safe training environment. The services and spaces that were offered posed a danger to myself and other members of CFEP, and I did not feel safe. Specifically, the following safety issues existed with the services offered at CFEP:*Has no organized OLY Barbell Club and no plans to create one*No designated weightlifting platforms*No dedicated weightlifting space*Olympic Weights: in disrepair, missing, thrown out. No plans to buy new ones*Unsafe environment with children and animals running throughout the gym where people are trying to workout*Soccer balls and other equipment out of children’s control endangering exercising members*Hostile environment where members make violent threats tolerated by ownership*Concerns about the environment are unaddressed*Unprofessional environment where members habitually complain about foundational OLY skill development being too difficult*Programming quality was reduced to meet Crossfit style preferences rather than maintain true Oly accessory work*Non weightlifting certified staff coaching weightlifting class*Certified weightlifting coaches declining to coach weightlifting classes because it’s CrossFit and not a Barbell Club*Classes cancelled last minute with little to no warning when we members have already paid*Oly class timing made to accommodate owner and not his members*Oly coach advised me to go to another gym for higher caliber coachingI requested a refund of my membership fees from CFEP from Mr. Medeiros on 3 separate occasions: Saturday, April 16th 2021, Monday, May 31st 2021 and Thursday, August 5th 2021. I also sought to resolve this situation amicably multiple times, however, all attempts at resolution have been ignored!
Gooooood
