Just one of the best equipped CrossFit facilities I’ve ever been. The 24/7 open gym idea it’s genius.

Got my personal training course from Hayden. Hes an experienced coach who also worked in healthcare industry (so he know lots of medical stuff). Also hes not that kind of salesmen coach who only think about selling more courses, actually he care about you learning something and make improvements.

Great Body PM class, motivating instructor, effective workout. Amenities & locker room were great, huge gym downstairs in the basement. Studio is a lot bigger than it looks from the street

Really nice gym for CrossFit, powerlifting, and olympic lifting. Ton of bars, platforms, plates, collars, and racks. Gym was clean too. No one was there when we went on Sunday morning, so its not clear how crowded they get during peak hours.

Dropped in for a workout here while in NYC. Change room and showers are top notch and we’re the nicest I’ve seen in any box. The box is small but it’s Manhattan so I’d say it was actually not too bad at all. Programming was great and the coach was welcoming and they pushed pretty hard. If you don’t have CF experience I’d go elsewhere but if you do, go and enjoy, I did and loved it.

I trained at Solace for 8 months before moving out of NYC last week. To put it simply, Ive gotten into the best shape of my life over that time. The facility is top-notch, the coaches are tremendous, and the programming is always varied and challenging. The membership base has a good mix from beginners all the way to elite competitors, and everyone is very friendly. Overall great experience!

Really happy I joined this gym. Was intimidated to join at first but caught on pretty quickly with the help of the coaches. Only gym I’ve gone too consistently!

I started looking to get back to a box and heard about Solace, and couldnt be happier to call this place a second home. The coaches know what theyre doing and are incredibly helpful with all movements. The owners are always there making sure the facility and equipment stays in top shape (which is the best there is), but truly care about the members. Honestly, wish there were a way to give it more than 5 stars!

Best place to work out in NYC. PREMIUM services,High quality diverse staff and hot members. Tons of different classes, you will find yourself spending a serious amount of time here. Plus the sign has some Witty jokes that always make me pause and ponder the big things in life. You can also purchase a fit aid here as well.

The company I work for, 300 Entertainment, allowed us to open a corporate health and wellness program with CrossFit Solace. As the main handler of HR Operations within the company, I feel that this has been such an amazing decision weve made for our employees and have seen both team morale and general company health skyrocket since. The classes are great, the coaches are the right motivators for success, and Id highly recommend other companies looking into Solace as a component to health and wellness benefits offerings.

Highly recommend it for the sculpt class. Nina is by far one of the most advanced instructors out there who knows what the female body should work on and is a very cute and positive gal! I just go for her class!

Review №18

Solace has a little of everything in the class offerings - conditioning, HIIT, Crossfit, yoga, mobility, endurance, open gym, barbell, and more. I mainly do the classes which are incredible. The culture here is supportive and part of a team. Everyone helps each other in different ways, and I recommend this gym to everyone I know (not exaggerating). Lockers have showers, towels, blow dryers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hair elastics.

Upstairs is a CrossFit box and downstairs there’s even more space and toys and that’s where my class was held. Great space, fun class, clean locker rooms, Malin + Goetz toiletries!

I visit lots of boxes as I travel almost every week. This place is great. The facilities are great and equipment is awesome but best part were the people and coaching. Definitely worth a visit.

The place is great. I come into the city for a few days every month and this is the only place Ill come to. The facility is great, the staff are knowledgeable and actually care about proper form, the place is immaculate and the overall vibe is awesome! Highly recommended.

Ive been a Crossfiter for over 4 years now and I will have to call this my 3rd home box. Ive probably dropped into over 20 boxes over the years so needless to say Ive been to my share of places. This, by far, is the best built and most comfortable to get things done. Yes, the typical box is a just that, a box. Four walls and a roof. Those places are great, but this takes it to the next level. All about the best here. Not to be missed.

Review №30

Pretty cool looking gym, good equipment, bit disappointed when visiting that a drop in to use open gym with no coaching was $40, the same price to do a class with a coach assisting you, not sure how that works but hopefully they look into that as it’s is always cheaper to do open gym than a class in every other Crossfit gym on the planet.

Hands down best CrossFit box in the city.The space is unlike anything you have ever seen. Two huge floors of new and clean equipment. This means you can stretch after class without being in the way. Spacious locker rooms with high end amenities, luxe showers, hairdryers AND flatirons ladies.The programming is amazing and keeps you wanting to come back every single day. With CrossFit not being the only option, its very easy to do just that. They offer yoga, freestyle, mobility, and barbell club too. The coaches are amazing, intelligent and very, very helpful no matter if youre a veteran or first timer. They put the stigma of CrossFit being intimidating away. You really take away something different each class by training with each individual coach.The culture at Solace is something the owners definitely hold a high standard to. It is an encouraging, motivating and friendly environment for everyone. The coaches try and learn everyones names. The members try to get to know one another. The owners are always there out in the open getting to know their members, get feedback and are willing to help in any way possible.I could go on and on but really you should just go try it out for yourself!

Wish I could give this place a better review, but we were denied going to class due to not having 3 months of crossfit experience. Honestly would have wished for a warning or a suggestion when booking the class online. We were offered another class in alternative, which was a plus.Please warn your customers that they WILL GET REJECTED AT THE FRONT DESK for crossfit, if they havent done crossfit for 3 months.

Think twice and long enough before you decide to join this gym or you will regret it later.This is luxury gym of Manhattan, a.k.a they expect all members to be super rich so they can keep digging your money and treat you like a walking ATM with load of cash. If you have lot of money to spend, go here. If not, there are plenty of other amazing crossfit gym in NYC with similar price range and less stiff rules. At the end of the day, this is just a business for them and you are the source of their revenue.Crossfit program: 1/5Worst program ever! Most of the times, you workout the same area of your muscle for few days in a row. For example: Monday T2B(9/11), Tuesday push press(9/12), Wed Pullup(9/13), Friday another Pullup(9/15), Saturday Snatch(9/16) and Sunday Kettlebell Snatch (9/17). If you are not careful enough to choose which day to workout, you will get injured a lot! Who would come up with such clever programming??System: 1/5Frankly, this is the most chaotic gym Ive been to. At the peak hours, 3 classes are running and staggering at the same time. For new member like me, you will be like a lost child in the crowded park. For example on Thursday I took barbell class at 7PM. There were 3 coaches (1 not working) there and three of them gave me different answers when I asked where the barbell class is. I dont even know where I should warm up and stretch too. Wallball target for RX is on top of barbell area. If you fail to hit the target, you will smack others by their heads or faces. Have fun!There are times when you feel sore 1 day or 2 days after the workout. Front desk told me the day after that I have to cancel 12 hours before,after I get charged $10.45. That to say if you feel sore the next day and you have registered the class, you either keep going and get injured or lose $10. Also, if you are late, you will get charge for another $10. In the end, they will try to get as much money as they could from you.Membership: -5/5The most inflexible system and this is the reason why you should think hard before joining. As I said before, they treat you like an ATM than as a member. Out of desperation for finding new box, I chose Solace and joined on 9/5, because Colby can waive my sign up fee. Although apparently, there is no sign up fee until end of September. Frankly, I wont join if I know there is no sign up fee until end of the month!! Sneaky business! On 9/14, I was informed that my old box is finally back to business so I requested Colby if she can upgrade my membership to 1 month. I am not taking the advantage as circumstance has changed and its not like Ive been in Solace for more than 1 month. I kindly asked her to upgrade my membership and I will pay the remaining balance for that month. She refuses. And yes, the cancellation fee is $500. That to say, my 1 month trial becomes $787 and not including the day I felt sore for another workout session. This is the part that you have to think hard If your life circumstance has unexpectedly changed. She said cancellation fee is standard for everyone, which is a total lie. As per Term and Condition # 9, it is said: UPGRADING MEMBERSHIP: A Member may upgrade his or her membership with the prior consent of management; provided Member/Buyer will be responsible for paying an upgrade fee and for the ongoing payment of any additional monthly fees associated with such upgrade. That to say, Solace actually can upgrade my membership but they refused to do so for an easy $500So, yes I have wasted $500 for cancellation fee and yes I have paid $798 for one month membership. I hope you guys got the best out of that easy money.Overall: Stay away from this crossfit! There are plenty of great boxes in NYC where you are treated like a part of the community, instead of ATM machine.

Crossfit Solace has basically become a second home for me.They have an amazing facility, a good variety of classes (Crossfit, Yoga, Olympic Lifting and Freestyle), awesome coaches and a solid community.You can find every weightlifting toy you could want here and youre allowed to drop weights on the lower level. Its probably also the only place in the city where you can hang out after a workout and do indoor dog sled races.The owners are very friendly, actively involved in running classes and making sure all the members are happy. Overall, this is by far my favorite Crossfit box in the city.

This place is amazing. I am new to crossfit having joined October 28th, 2014 and I love it. Much has to do with the coaches, the environment they create, and the facility itself. I will note that I have been a member of three gyms in the city and it takes me a while to adapt to each place (like 2 months), however, here I felt comfortable in just a two weeks.The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and really listen to differences as required by each person. It is not a one-size fits all approach - they work with your individual needs. I have received valuable pointers and instruction when it comes to form, technique, eating, and more. Further, the encouragement from both coaches and other people in the class makes it even more enjoyable. I cannot say enough good things about the coaching and people here.The facility is wonderful. Everything is brand new. I have only gone to two other places in the city, one time each, and in my humble opinion this by far the nicest space. The dressing rooms are amazing - i go during my lunch break so I shower there and they have everything you need.Overall, the environment that they have created is very much like a community. It is nothing that I have experienced at other places I have been and that is what makes this place stand out from the rest.As a side note, they are affiliated with some great companies - for example, they have Kettlebell Kitchen delivered here which I have been ordering from for the past 2 months. Makes picking up much easier.

I was a member at Solace for 6 months (until I moved out of the neighborhood). Having previously been a member at Reebok Crossfit 5th Ave and a drop-in at other boxes around the country, I can unequivocally say Solace tops them all.They get pretty much everything right:-incomparable facility -- exceedingly clean and modern locker rooms, and great space/equipment setup; impossible to find elsewhere in NYC-great instructors -- I found all the instructors to be friendly and helpful-intelligent programming -- loved the mix of Crossfit, Freestlye (gymnastics-based workout), and Mobility class optionsIf youre looking to improve your physical fitness and/or body composition, cant imagine a better place to do it than at Solace.

I am new to crossfit, so I have no experience with any other boxes, but I have been a member of other fitness gyms and boutique fitness places for many years and this place ROCKS! I have now been a member for a month and am really enjoying my experience. As a newbie to crossfit I was nervous about what I was getting myself into, but after my first class those nerves subsided a little (I still get nervous when I see the WOD). Staring with the foundations classes, everyone was super friendly and super helpful. The coaches are great and are always paying attention and available to help you. The classes are small, so you always get the attention you need, especially if you are a newbie like me. The owners and entire staff have been AMAZING...caring, helpful and super nice. The locker room and amenities are beyond ridiculous! Give Crossfit Solace a try, you will not be disappointed, in fact you will fall in love with the place & crossfit!

Solace is the real deal. You can tell countless hours have been spent on every detail of this place. From the diversified programming (CrossFit, freestyle, oly, mobility, yoga) to the well-appointed locker rooms to offerings from Paleo Pack, Kettlebell Kitchen, FitAid and Progenex - the brains behind Solace have put together an amazing combination of fitness resources in a beautiful, well-executed space.The coaching staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The owners are a constant presence around the gym, making every effort to know each persons name and addressing any concerns asap. I have been CrossFitting for over a year, and this is most professionally run CrossFit operation that I have come across. I would recommend a drop in here without hesitation. You will not regret it!
