CrossFit^® Bench

Negative experience: poor business acumen, but I guess the boss can do what they want, they can build what ever culture they want - for the price the equipment is lacking

Fantastic experience: What an amazing gym! Michelle is incredibly supportive. Great space, clean gym and amazing coaches. Would recommend to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: THE most awesome gym to workout at! For years now, Michelle is always so accommodating of my injuries and always makes me feel included and welcomed with how she scales the workout for me. The babies and barbells class I was part of last year was amazing.. the programming felt thoughtfully curated for me as a postpartum momma. I will always recommend bench crossfit to anyone looking for somewhere to work out - the motivating yet chill atmosphere makes bench crossfit the place to be :)

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Bench is the best gym in the Niagara area. It recently moved to a beautiful facility in Beamsville with tons of equipment, plenty of daily class times (plus open gym) and very knowledgeable coaches. This which make it easy for people of all fitness levels to not only get to the gym, but meet and exceed your gym goals, big or small. This is truly a community gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending CrossFit Bench for over 2 years now and I love it! It has a real sense of community that will challenge you to better yourself. All of the coaches instruct proper movement through each workout and scale it to your level of experience, so don’t be intimidated! Come try it out!

Fantastic experience: First class facility! Michelle and the rest of her coaching staff make you feel welcome and provide quality instruction and training to support fitness goals, no matter what your level of fitness ability may be. So happy to be a part of the Bench CrossFit community!

Fantastic experience: I love everything about CF Bench. From the first time I corresponded with Michelle, she was the most welcoming, friendly person. All of the coaches are so wonderful and knowledgeable. I am so grateful for such an incredible community to get fitter with.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Bench is the best gym I have ever been to. The coaching roster is amazing, the community is great, and the gym itself is so clean and welcoming. What more do you need?

Fantastic experience: Michelle’s approach to coaching is perfect for me; there is no pushing to lift more, go faster, do things you’re not comfortable with and/or you know your body can’t handle. She takes into consideration your short term and lifelong injuries and tailors her coaching and substitutions specifically to you; this is how CrossFit was meant to be. She does not pressure people to compete and does not singularly focus on athletes whose only focus IS competing. She focuses equally on all gym members. That’s what keeps me coming back!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Bench is a gym for everyone of all ages and abilities! I had spent most of my 50+ years living an unhealthy lifestyle. After an accident, I needed to find a healthier way. I tried going to a regular gym and after a year of aimlessly working out and constantly waiting for equipment to be available, I knew I needed to find a better way. I joined Crossfit Bench during the pandemic. Initially I jointed becauseI liked the innovated and creative ways Crossfit Bench developed to keep members safe while working on their fitness. The big surprise was the supportive community at Crossfit Bench. With amazing (and patient) coaching, great community support from my fellow athletes and a Healthy Habits program , I have achieved a fitness level I have never seen before in my life.

Fantastic experience: Joining Crossfit Bench has been the best choice I have made! I look forward to going every day. Each workout and movement is tailored and scaled to your skill level as the coaches are very knowledgeable and take the time to help perfect skills, form and cheer you on. The community is amazing, fun, inclusive and motivated! The space is also very clean, inviting, with lots of space and equipment. If you’re looking for a new gym, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I'm a women in her early 40s and I was extremely nervous to try CrossFit thinking I was too late to the game, but also knew I needed to try something different and get out of my comfort zone. I'm so glad I took the first step by reaching out to Coach/owner Michelle and booking my first session. Some CrossFit movements can be intimidating, but Michelle breaks down these movements into small steps making it easier to execute. For those movements that are outside of your current skill level, a scaled version is always offered. Michelle pays close attention to your form and makes corrections when needed. The community feeling, positive attitudes and encouragement you receive from fellow team members also make this a fun and rewarding experience. Lots of laughs to be had at Bench! Highly recommend checking out CrossFit Bench!

Fantastic experience: The environment, community and experience at CrossFit Bench in beyond phenomenal. Owner Michelle's dedication to her members is unrivalled. Having been a member at several crossfit gyms over the years and being a physiotherapist who's very focused on form, I can say Michelle is by far the most competent coach I've worked with. Her coaching staff is great at modifying workouts as needed, pushing athletes when they're able, and creating a welcoming environment. The gym space is gorgeous with lots of space to workout, even in a full class. I cannot recommend this gym, and Michelle enough! Check out a Saturday Social class and fall in love with this gym.

Fantastic experience: Hands down, CrossFit Bench is the best local gym. Coach Michelle and the team are very friendly and provide such a welcoming community. The workouts are fun, challenging and I always look forward to walking through the doors . All the coaches really care and go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals and push you in the right way. I highly recommend checking this unreal gym out!

Fantastic experience: My first day at CrossFit Bench was incredibly welcoming. Everyone was super supportive and I truly loved how at the end everyone comes over to tell you what a good job you’ve done. The first day experience was so great I signed up to continue. I’ve been to 7-8 classes now and everyone is still supportive and cheers you on near the end of the workout. I wouldn’t change my decision to join CrossFit Bench and have been spreading the word on how great the CrossFit Bench Community is!!

Fantastic experience: Michelle and the team at C.F bench have been amazing. The environment and people are all very encouraging and supportive of individual goals. Michelle and her staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and always have lots of scaling options to ensure everyone gets a great workout. My fitness level and olympic lifting has gone to the next level since joining C.F Bench and I can't wait to see how far I can push myself.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Bench is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to! Beautiful facility with challenging workouts and trainers that are extremely knowledgeable, encouraging and friendly. The members are so supportive and there is an amazing sense of community. It has been life changing for both my physical and mental health, and truly is my Happy Place!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never had a better gym experience than what I’ve experienced at CrossFit Bench! The community of members and coaches is so welcoming and positive it makes going to the gym fun. The coaches are so knowledgeable in their training and focus strongly on technique to ensure movements are done correctly. With consistency you will see huge results! I would recommend CrossFit Bench to anyone at any fitness level!

Fantastic experience: If you’re thinking about trying CrossFit, don’t let the hype scare you. I have been a member at CrossFit Bench since it’s opening and have watched the gym grow into a wonderful community. At CrossFit Bench under the watchful eye of coach Michelle it’s all about technique first. Personally I am someone who needs a positive workout environment. I am not looking to compete with anyone but me. At Bench I am encouraged to listen to my body and modify when I need to. Going to Bench weekday mornings I get to do some of my favourite things like pick up a barbell and also do some of my least favourite things like burpees. But either way it’s a great way to move my body with others that encourage each other. Lastly the facilities are fantastic, with tons of parking, large washroom/change rooms and showers and the actual gym floor, beautiful and spacious.

Fantastic experience: Dropped into Crossfit Bench. It is a great box for all levels and abilities. Their workouts are fun and challenging. The community is friendly and welcoming. Owner and coach, Michelle, runs a great program. Highly recommend joining a class if you are in the area. The new facility is very spacious with high ceilings. Congrats on the move! Thanks for letting me join in the class! Ray

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best drop in experience I have ever had ! My partner Chris and I came to visit for a week from Calgary, and Michelle was so welcoming and an incredibly kind hearted person. She is so knowledgeable in training with her kinesiology + psychology degree. Her coaching is outstanding. Her facility is beautiful. The programming was strategic and very well broken down for comprehension. BEST Crossfit facility in Niagara!!!

Fantastic experience: All coaches are fantastic! They’re kind and adapt the workouts to your level and needs. Something I also really like about this CrossFit gym is the fact that nobody is competing to the extreme of pushing you out of the gym way, you’re there to do better and be better.
