Motivating and knowledgeable professional trainers. Strong sense of empowering individuals to achieve goals. Iris is an amazing fitness expert who provides you with a foundation to build upon. Derek has created an environment in this gym that is priceless!!! Highly recommend Hardbat Athletics!!

Hardbat is so much more than a gym. Their classes are top notch. I get more out of the hour class than if I were working out on my own. The coaches are so enthusiast and knowledgeable. Most importantly, they make the effort to get to know you, know your goals, and they push you when you need it. They want you to improve but let you grow safely. I look forward to all the classes and cant wait to see what I can do after a year of classes!

If you are thinking about joining a CrossFit gym Then I would highly recommend Hardbat because all the coaches care it’s not just a job it’s their passion. Every movement for the class is broken down into simplicity for very easy steps making the most challenging move understandable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GYMHARDBAT IS TRULY A JUDGMENT FREE ZONE

The fact that this is Dereks (owner) career says a lot about the gym and his commitment, in addition to the fact that he has full time staff at the gym. As a result, theres all day open gym access which allows for flexible workouts (and minimal human interaction during these COVID times if desired). But it also means that theyre fully invested in the gym and its members. As an S&C coach and exercise physiologist Ive always been picky about gyms, especially CrossFit (e.g., the snake oil salesman crossfit coach, you must eat keto, etc.), but Hardbat is not that. Evidenced based and great programming too.

The staff at this gym are the best. They are knowledgeable and experienced. Unlike other gyms they take an interest in you and your needs so that they can improve your overall skill and fitness. It is very personalized the coaches are extremely dedicated. I love this gym.

Such a great atmosphere of personal improvement. I highly recommend joining this box if you are looking for a community that strives to be better. It will uncover your potential as an individual and as a member in not just strength but also health and well-being.

I did a drop in at CrossFit Hardbat, and I really loved it. The coach, Jarvis, was knowledgeable and gave great feedback. The members were incredibly sweet. One of them even offered me a ride because I was standing in the rain waiting for a taxi to arrive. Ill definitely drop in again when Im in town!

Hardbat is hands-down the best gym in the area. I cannot express how this gym, its coaches, and its members have changed my life. I am a better athlete, person, and friend because of this community. Hardbat coaches are extremely knowledgable, approachable, helpful, and friendly. Classes are well-structured, fun, and safe. Aside from my progress as an athlete, Hardbat has helped me grow as a person. This community is encouraging, supportive, and welcoming, both in and out of the gym. I would recommend dropping in for a class... it could be the best decision you ever make!

My 10 year old son loves the kids class!!! The instructors are great with the kids! It’s a great workout while having fun!! Definitely recommend this class for your child!

Hardbat is a great crossfit and weightlifting gym. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. There is a clear sense of community and inclusion where members of all ages can get a great workout. I started two years ago and I can honestly say that I look forward to going to Hardbat every day. The coaches provide instruction and dynamic workouts that keep things interesting.

No matter what your fitness goals, these coaches can can formulate specific, challenging, fun, and safe training regiments. Try it out, if youre looking for improvement in functional and/or dynamic strength. Or, if you just want to live a healthier lifestyle, come join the team and invest in yourself! :)

Ive only been at this box for 3 months. Its the only box I know and I love it. Everyone has been great. The coaches are very helpful and encouraging. I will be working out here for a long time!

To say that I just come here to work out everyday is an understatement. This CrossFit facility and its coaches has assisted in helping me become the person I want to be everyday. The supportive coaches and my fellow gym members motivate me everyday to be better and keep going. There are no stereotypes or cliques, everyone is awesome and friendly; and its so much different than a normal gym (Crossfit in general). I love this place so much, its like my second home.

Just started going to Hardbat, it is awesome !! I loved it, the people there are so welcoming and the coaches are even better they really take the time to help you and take you step by step with each move. Dont be scared to drop by you will love it. Just like I did.

The atmosphere is great not to mention the trainers are world class and carry with them an effusively positive attitude. I went in for a free trial and had such a great experience I signed up that same day and have been attending classes ever since.

Knowledgeable, caring, community based, fun, encouraging, and motivational - these are the things Hardbat CrossFit is all about. If you are looking for a chance to improve your quality of life, overall fitness, and meet some amazing people, this is the place for you.Hardbat specializes in CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. The coaches understand the importance of technique and how to instruct it while pushing you to better yourself everyday.

Whenever Im in the area, I make a point of dropping in at Hardbat Crossfit, where I am sure to get a fantastic workout! The coaches are outstanding -- their instruction focuses on proper form and technique, while motivating everyone to work hard. Tell them your goals and they will help you reach and exceed them! Even though the workouts are intense, they are also fun and rewarding. Youll have a true sense of accomplishment every time you finish one. The community is super friendly -- a wonderful, supportive, positive vibe. I definitely recommend Hardbat to anyone and everyone in the Newark area, as well as visitors who are looking for a great place to get fit while passing through.

I started back in June and love it! The trainers are very knowledgeable and take the time to help you with your mechanics to ensure that you do not get injured with any of the workouts. The facility is awesome with plenty of space which creates the flexibility of incorporating different kinds of workouts without interference of any sort. Its definitely challenging to the mind and body everyday, every workout, which has been producing awesome results to my lifestyle as well as my physical fitness. Also, everyone who goes there is super friendly and always encourages/congratulates your efforts. Its been a blast being there.. totally worth the time and money.

Best gym in the area for serious competitors. Surrounded with like-minded, goal-driven individuals and an environment that makes the tough training fun. If youre serious about fitness, this is the place to be.

I went for my free class to check out this gym on 1/16/17 and I must say the staff was amazing. Each member of the staff takes the time to get to know you and find out what you are looking to get out of the classes. Jarvis was my instructor and really took the time to break down each workout to make sure I wasperforming each one properly and safely. I really felt like they cared about my safety which is really important to me. At the end of the night I became a member of the gym. Looking forward to many more classes!

Great facility, great coaches, great community, great experience. Would recommend Hardbat to anyone looking to get into crossfit or just in better shape in general. Its definitely challenging which makes it even more rewarding and satisfying.

Great, welcoming, drop-in workout with Jarvis; super-brief coaching on DUs and I picked up a few more counts than usual. Good luck with the Open!

Amazing gym. Great workouts. And phenomenal coaches and gym members. Hardbat truly shows that Crossfit is for everyBODY and everyone can make progress. So glad I checked out a free class!!

I have been to many boxes from Virginia Beach, North Carolina and now my home box in Maryland outside of DC . This is by far one of the best boxes I have been to. The programing is high level true crossfit . The coaches are very, very knowledgable . Usually the more hard core a box is the less welcoming it can be and more intimidating for new people . It couldnt be more opposite here . They are a hard core gym but the coaches and athletes are very welcoming and the atmosphere it excellent !

The coaches are wonderful, people are welcoming and there is a great focus on technique. Love coming back each time!

Very patient and friendly staff. They have very good time management. your in and out .Workout complete

Great place to workout, the best coaches around. No matter what you always feel like your part of the community.

Love Hardbat! All workouts can be modified to make you feel successful and help you progress no matter what level of fitness you currently are.

I cant say enough good words about HB. The coaches are awesome, extremely helpful and always excited to see you make improvements. The members all motivate each other and its truly a great community to be apart of. If youre considering giving HB a try, do it, you wont regret it!

Love they gym and community! All walks of life here at HB coming together to get more fit :-)

Very clean facility, great coaching staff that keeps workouts fun!

Hardbat is an amazing crossfit gym! The members and coaches are all like family. I have seen so much growth in myself over the last 3 years! I highly recommend Hardbat Crossfit!

Hands down, the best crossfit gym in the area! Knowledgeable and caring staff, amazing atmosphere and sense of community. I absolutely love being a part of the hardbat family!

Great place to work out at. The trainers, as well as others working out with you are friendly and incouraging. If you want something that will challenge you and help you improve this is where you want to be. Hardbat Crossfit is worth both your time and your money.

A team of coaches that know their Crossfit and push you to the last minute! With great coaches and awesome programming youre guaranteed to get results, highly recommended! I had been doing crossfit for about a year prior to coming to hardbat, and I am continuing to learn and grow as an athlete everyday! You wont be disappointed, Hardbat is amazing!

Hardbat is a great place to begin or enhance your fitness lifestyle. The crossfit classes are well instructed by great coaches who focus on movement techniques. The coaches make sure everyone understands and is comfortable with the movements for the WODs by thoroughly reviewing them before beginning the WOD. The importance of maintaining proper body mechanics is emphasized.There is also a great opportunity to focus on lifting techniques in the hardbat barbell club. The programming can be used in addition to regular crossfit WODs. Derek does a great job analyzing my lifts and the programming has helped me improve my strength and form dramatically.I would recommend and encourage anyone to try hardbat.

Great Crossfit box with innovative programming.

The best gym and coaches around.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
