CrossFit Floyd Bennett Field

This place use to be the greatest box in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, that was interrupted by owners and their unprofessional way of dismissing a great head coach. The gym is no longer a Crossfit gym bc they fired head coach! New trainers (emphasis on trainer not crossfit coach) there are very young and inexperienced. They have no affiliate as well but say they will continue to do crossfit (which seems a little bit off because you’re not suppose to do that). Beware of singing up here and doing «crossfit» with individuals who cannot use the name-​must be a reason right?
Crossfit is an amazing sport but you really want to make sure you’re getting proper instruction from an experienced/​trained coach. Having a L1 certificate from a Saturday training might not lend itself to coaching experienced athletes or those trying to get started. In addition, it’s clear that Aviator doesn’t necessarily care about customers or their experience because they will fire a coach without letting them say goodbye or inform the customers about transition. Mind you… the whole sport of crossfit is reliant upon your connection to your coach, community, and learning movements.
Last comment, it’s interesting to me that many of the members quit after the change of management that took place. There were no efforts made to sustain those memberships… in fact it almost seemed as though the new management wanted that to happen. Either way its everyone’s right to work out where they want but know this — -THIS ISN’T A CROSSFIT GYM with COACHES… THEY HAVE NO AFFILIATE… choose wisely folks.

The gym was perfect until they fired the head coach.
They fired him to put the Owner of Aviator stepson who know nothing about CrossFit.
They did Steve dirty, ALL members quit the same day.
The management of Aviator is a complete disgrace. Shame on them for ruining something perfect.
Fools.

Having been to a dozen or so Crossfit boxes around the area, I can honestly say that Crossfit Floyd Bennett Field is second to none! The facility itself is optimal for crossfit, including 20′ ceilings, huge open floor space, and multi-​levels. The equipment is all up to date and well-​maintained. A massive parking lot provides many spots even at peak hours. Scheduling (extensive class times and open gym for hours every day), knowledgeable and experienced coaches, punctuality (classes always start and end on time) all contribute to making this particular Crossfit affiliate extremely appealing to someone either looking to begin the journey or compete at a high level.

Used to be great gym but not any more. They fired the amazing head coach. Hired the GM’s 23yr old stepson with no experience. Lost there Crossfit affiliate status for life. I would recommend playing patty cake before training here. BEWARE!!!

I have a friend that would not shut up about this place for 1 solid year and so I finally bite the bullet and tried it out. I been going here for about 9 months now and really like it. My main goal was to lose weight and that goal was achieved in 4 without doing any special dieting. My new goals now are to clean up my forms & techniques. It can get pretty addicting, especially if your a goal driven person. The head coach Steve & other coaches here are very sophisticated with all the activities we do and you can tell that they always want you to get better. The parking & location here is great. The members here are very nice and basically have the same goals as everyone that joins.

I’ve been a regular here for almost two years. I never thought that I’ll be going to any gym 5 times a week and wanting to go even more.
Thanks to the coaches knowledge and dedication I have completely transformed my body and have done it all injury free.
Thanks coach Steve and the FBF Crossfit family!

Best Crossfit gym around! Community and coaches are awesome! The programming is phenomenal. The programmer and the head coach are both games athletes that produce great athletes and results!

Upgrade is getting there but everything about Brooklyn is changing and soon I wonder what will become of Brooklyn because change is fast.

Awesome box and awesome coaches! !!

I’ve been a member for almost two months now and I cannot imagine my life without Crossfit in general but Crossfit Floyd Bennett Field specifically. The coaches, Steve and Laura are fantastic, smart, and inspiring! The other members are so welcoming and supportive. Our Box is huge and well equipped with everything we need for great Crossfit workouts. The programing is well rounded and well thought out. Parking is free and plentiful. I really can’t say enough about this place… I look forward to going every day and you will too.

Just finished the introductory elements classes and 1 week into my first regular classes. My body feels an amazing difference. These workouts and exercises are well planned and thought out. Instructors know what they are doing. I aim to work as hard as possible to see where this takes me.
