OpenBox Athletics | Functional Fitness Training, CrossFit, Boot Camp, Small Group Fitness Gym - Gym in Philadelphia - 1931 Washington Ave, USA

I did an OBA class (drop-in) while visiting Philadelphia in January. I read some comments here that they're not "drop-in friendly", but that's not my experience at all! Signing up was very easy. At the reception I was asked what my fitness level (ok, regular gym goer), and experience with cross fit was (limited, I'm fairly new to cross fit). In general, I felt very well taken care of. They definitely make sure you perform all the exercises correctly - the coaches kept an eye on my form all the time. The gym itself is nice. Lots of space and good equipment. Clean. If I had to find something to complain about it's that they have no showers, but that was a minor issue for me at the time. Overall I had a good experience.

Best CrossFit gym in Philadelphia. From the coaches to the programming to the equipment, everything is of the highest quality. Moreover, even if the class is full they make sure to touch base with everyone and coach them, which really helps improving! In addition, the community is inclusive and welcoming, and will make you feel welcome whether it is your 1st or 100th workout.

Open Box is an excellent gym for both fitness newbies and elite athletes. Great coaches make sure the programming is accessible and effective for athletes at all levels and the community is inclusive and welcoming. I have significant experience dropping-in at Crossfits and OBA is best-in-class.

Any of the members (new and old) will tell you that OBA isn't just a gym, it's a community. Not only is it a GREAT place (physically, logistically) for functional fitness, the coaching staff is top notch!

Came here today for the first time. Super helpful coach (Mel) with great instruction. Always made sure us newbies knew what we were doing, and doing it right. Welcoming group, friendly people and a good, community atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!

This coaches at this gym are professional and know their stuff. The gym is clean, the equipment is in good shape and the classes are very challenging. Also, I appreciate that they have a bike rack inside. One thing to note: this is one of the stronger gyms I've been to, so expect WODs that are a little more challenging than the average.

I needed to start focusing on myself after five years off from exercising while I was busy having three kids and found Open Box had the times I wanted for the classes I was interested in. I’m so glad I chose this gym. It’s only been a few weeks, but I love it! Everyone is so welcoming and the coaches help make sure you’re feeling comfortable while also pushing yourself.

From my first class at OBA I knew I entered one of the greatest gyms in Philly! The coach, Joey, was immediately welcoming and made me feel comfortable (so much so that I joined on the spot!). For the next 2 years, my classes at OBA remained the highlight of my days. Every coach I met was knowledgeable, motivating, and supportive of all their member’s goals. The programming was challenging (in the best way) and the facility was always clean! The community fostered in OBA helped me meet some amazing friends who made “going to the gym” so much fun! I only left because I moved out of state and I cannot wait to return when I am back visiting Philly!
