I joined OBA back in early 2019, completely new to the CrossFit fitness world. I knew I needed some structure to help me get back in shape and OBA provided just that and much more. The coaches are all awesome, down to earth people who are extremely knowledgeable about all things fitness. From Day 1, I never felt that I was alone in my journey to becoming a better athlete. The coaches, especially Kory, Melody, and Joey, helped make sure that I was doing things safely and correctly while also pushing me to continue to become better each day. I have since moved away from the area, but cannot speak enough to how great both the gym and the community of people that attend the gym are. Without my time here, I would not have renewed my passion for fitness and gotten to where I am today. Highly recommend this place for anyone who has a passion for fitness (or wants to) as youll really enjoy the workouts and sense of community.

You wont find a gym with coaches as dedicated, invested, and supportive as Open Box Athletics. Its the friendliest, most community driven gym Ive ever been to. And yes, while I am getting fitter daily, they dont JUST focus on fitness. There is an emphasis on the mind-body connection, nutrition, community etc. Its the whole package- I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Place is great. Best equipment I’ve ever seen at a cross fit gym. Instructors explain each workout very clearly and work hard to make sure each athlete is performing workouts with proper form and safely. As a beginner in CrossFit I highly recommend OBA At any level of experience

The coaches are great and friendly, the gym is very clean, and everyone is so supportive. I was definitely nervous about joining a gym like this, having no CrossFit experience. The coaches meet you where you are and work with you so that you get the results that you want.

Great box. Everyone is super friendly. Great staff. Clean place. Extra points: great dog.

OBA is truly a community! The beautiful humans I have met and the genuine goodness of this experience is unlike any other gym. OBA is rooted in honesty and integrity, and I am truly so grateful to be a part of this community.

Open box Athletics has a consistent goodness about it. Day after day and from the owners to the coaches to the members working out next to you. This gym took everything this last year threw at it and not only didn’t quit but took care of each other throughout.If you are like I was ...starting with almost no level of exercise besides walking the dog...don’t think you need to get better before you come. You are more than welcome here and the coaches will help you scale movements to safely challenge you. I learned to show up and trust the process. Along the way I’ve become measurably stronger and found myself belonging to something I’m grateful for every day. I’m hoping you will too.

Attentive and knowledgeable coaches, excellent programming, supportive community. This is the first CrossFit style gym I’ve ever joined and I feel super fortunate to have ended up here.

Great ownership, fantastic coaches, and the equipment is brand new and well maintained. Can not ask for a better crossfit gym!

The space is nice, the programming is great, and everyone is so welcoming! Love OBA.

This place is awesome if youre looking for a friendly environment and great people to be around this is definitely the spot. Ive done CrossFit before but I had to take a break but when I got back into it I was dealing with some health issues and my confidence was completely shot I was even thinking about giving up but people like Coach Joey always kept pushing me and Coach Melody always worked with me to make sure I stay in the fight. I even managed to get one of my best friends to join this box so if anybody is looking for a place to call home look no further this is it.

This gym provides great programming and supportive and knowledgeable coaches. I am new to this style of fitness and every class I get helpful tips to be able to exercise in a safe and efficient manner. As a nurse I was looking to find a gym that I felt comfortable with who took COVID precautions seriously and I’ve never felt unsafe at any time during classes. Every interaction with staff that I have had has been pleasant and professional!

OBA has an amazing ownership and coaching team. They genuinely care about the members and are constantly seeking to better the gym. The programming is solid and will help you to be a well-rounded athlete. In addition to improving your fitness, this gym offers an awesome sense of community.

Staff highly professional and knowledgeable, and creates a great atmosphere in which they run a demanding program, encouraging all athletes to constantly improve strength, endurance, agility and skill. Constructively accommodate programs to bring members along, build their abilities and raise their level of performance. Great box, great people

Fortunate to have a gym of this caliber in the neighborhood, with excellent coaches and staff, smart and thoughtful programming, and great equipment. A welcoming place for anyone, of any fitness level, to learn, set and meet fitness goals, and spend time with their neighbors. Id recommend to anyone nearby or dropping in.

OBA is a true gem! The owners, coaches, and members are passionate about providing a place that supports fitness and community. The gym is clean and spacious, with a variety of class options (in-person and virtual) to chose from. The coaches are patient and extremely knowledgeable, and will encourage you to be the best version of yourself. I highly recommend OBA, regardless of where you are in your fitness journey. I’ve been a member for 3 years and I love this place!

Before joining CrossFit I had the impression that it wasn’t for me and that it was intimidating. Openbox definitely proved me wrong. I absolutely love this gym. The trainers and the other members really make an effort to get to know one another and it makes going even more enjoyable. The trainers really care about your growth and make sure that your form is perfect. I always recommend friends to this gym and will keep doing that.

I love this gym. There’s something for everyone. Experienced, stable coaching staff is one of the strengths of this gym. Personalized attention and a welcoming community regardless of background.

Hands-down the best gym around. The coaches are genuine, kind people there to help you succeed and keep you safe. Cant recommend them enough!

Welcoming environment and great coaches! Classes are challenging, but fun, and can be scaled for any fitness level. Awesome community gym.

Really great gym—instructors are best around, space is very clean and equipment is well maintained.

OpenBox Athletics is amazing gym and community. I have been doing CrossFit here for over two years and absolutely love it; the progress Ive made here is outstanding. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and experienced and spend time working with you on your goals. The programming is tough yet scalable for all levels and focuses on a range of movements in weightlifting, Olympic lifting, conditioning/cardio and gymnastics. I also love Emily Smiths Olympic weightlifting class on Sundays that focuses on form for the more technical lifts. This gym also offers boot camp and yoga as well which is an added bonus :)The best part of OBA is the community - its fun and welcoming and everyone is supportive of each others goals, which makes this more than just a gym. I highly recommend this gym to all!!

Open Box is a great experience all around.

Love being a member of OBA. The coaches are amazing, the workouts are well programed and the community at this gym is so awesome. No better place to be if youre in the Grad Hospital/Point Breeze/South Center City area!

I have belonged here for 2 years and have had nothing but a great experience. The staff is amazing and accommodating, theyre always pushing you to do the best that you can. They have community events, fun competitions, and really make it feel like a family from the moment you either pop in or are a full time member. Highly recommend

Love the programming, space, and coaches here! I joined right before the pandemic hit and they have bent over backwards to consistently provide fitness to our community.

One of the nicer gyms I have been to! Bright, roomy and great workouts. Dog friendly gym. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

What makes Openbox and Kite and Key a great place is its excellent ownership and management as their clients care is a focal point in their business. In their coaching, they bring many aspects of physiology, nutrition and fitness but they have great care for their community. Ive been to many athletics based gyms and this is top notch.

Amazing gym family!!! People of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, ability, etc come together for intense (but fun) workouts and community events. Great coaches and everyone helps one another. Highly recommend for beginners to advanced crossfitters. They also offer amazing yoga, boot camp, and other classes so there is something for everyone. Brand new equipment and facilities a plus!

OBA is amazing! I had never tried CrossFit prior to January (and wasn’t exercising much in general) but that was no issue here. Coaches help you scale to your ability level while still giving you an effective work out. You won’t regret trying it out!

Wonderful community, great coaches!

Very large facility with brand new equipment. Great staff and many options available. Hours are great and the community is great. 10/10 highly recommend

Love this gym and community

Friendly coaches, great community and awesomely clean!!

I absolutely love the Studio at Openbox! They offer a huge variety of classes, which is great as I enjoy both yoga and HIIT style exercising. The Studio has helped strengthen and tone my postpartum body. I have enjoyed every instructor Ive had here. Openbox is an awesome and affordable place to get in shape and stay that way!

Best gym in Philly

HUGE space. Friendly staff. Well run classes.

Great space, friendly people, great programming
