I'm a returning member who came back specifically for the Legends 55+ Fitness program, and I'm glad I did. After a long gap away — and at 62, dealing with asthma and a fitness level that needed rebuilding from the ground up — I knew I needed a program with a gentler touch and coaches who actually understood where older adults are starting from. That's exactly what I found. Instructors Ali and Alyssa are patient, encouraging, and always ready with modifications when the prescribed movement is more than you can handle that day. There's no pressure, no judgment — just steady, thoughtful progression that meets you where you are. I'm only two weeks back in, but I already feel a difference in my confidence, and I know the physical changes are coming. The Legends program blends strength, mobility, and cardiovascular conditioning specifically designed for adults 55+ who want to stay strong and active for the long haul. If you're on the fence about whether a place like this is "for you," trust me — it is.

I recently joined the crossfit workout at MetroEast. It has been a great fit for me. Great instructors and the atmosphere is very supportive.

This wonderful place has changed my life so much. The coaches are top notch and the people you encounter here are AMAZING!! I feel better and I look better! What are you waiting for, give them a call and come work out with us!

Love the Legends (55 years of age and up) group classes!! On days when I have to talk myself into going, I'm so glad I did at the end! Everyone is sooo encouraging!

I’ve been a member here for 4 years now and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. The legends class for people who are over 50 is just what we all need to keep us moving & able to take care of ourselves & others. The trainers are top notch & keep things fun & informative! Love this place!

I love the atmosphere and the coaches here! No judgement zone, lots of encouragement, and celebrations for even the smallest accomplishments. The coaches are always able to help me modify movements to my ability and there is a wide variety of athletes in each class!

What’s changed in your life since you joined CrossFit MetroEast? My life has changed quite a bit, I came her depressed, not caring about myself, I had lost my Dad and was stuck in sadness. It took courage to show up here so out of shape but I did it and everyone here is nice and super helpful so it made it easy. I now look forward to coming to class everyday, a little nervous about the workout but the feeling you get when you complete it is why I show up!! It’s an incredible feeling to make it through the workout, no matter how you showed up that day, it gets better!! The coaches here are all great and Alli as my nutrition coach has helped me drop quite a bit of weight since starting. I now meal prep and feed my body to workout, my confidence has increased dramatically and it helps in all aspects of my life, definitely at work and even at home! I feel more like myself and I am excited to keep improving!! No limit soldier lol!! 😊

My name is Rick Schmidt, I’m 78 years old, and I’ve been coming to MetroEast Health & Fitness for a little while now. Since joining, I’ve noticed big improvements in my balance, strength, and even muscle mass. I feel stronger and more confident in my day-to-day life. The coaches are encouraging and make sure I’m doing things safely, but they also push me to keep improving. The community here is welcoming, and I always feel supported when I walk in the door. At my age, it’s easy to think gains aren’t possible anymore, but MetroEast Health & Fitness has shown me otherwise. It’s been a real benefit to my health and my life, and I’m grateful for it. — Rick Schmidt Sr.

I’ve been a member of MetroEast Health & Fitness for nearly eight months, and it’s easily one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. From day one, the coaching team has been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. Ali, Dawnella, Lindsey, Traci, Kole, and Craig do an amazing job leading the group classes. They explain what to expect each day, demo every movement with clarity, and always take the time to scale exercises based on individual abilities. Throughout the workout, they provide valuable guidance and encouragement, which keeps you pushing yourself. Alyssa’s nutritional programming has also been a game changer. Her approach is science-based yet practical and sustainable, helping me build better habits without feeling overwhelmed or restricted. I've seen real results because of her guidance. Josh’s positive energy truly stands out as well. Whether it’s a quick word of encouragement during warm-ups, cheering you on mid-WOD, creating insightful content, or simply greeting you as you walk in, his leadership and attitude make a huge difference in the gym’s atmosphere. Lastly, my favorite part of MetroEast Health & Fitness is the community. The group classes foster a sense of camaraderie where everyone is focused on their own goals but also supporting one another. No matter what's going on outside the gym, you always leave class with a feeling of accomplishment—both for yourself and the entire group. Overall, this gym is more than just a place to work out. It’s a community of coaches and members who genuinely care about helping you be your best. I highly recommend it!

Super professional staff and supportive of my goals!
