EVF Performance & CrossFit Upper East Side - New York, New York

Gracie Almeida

This was my first CrossFit gym and let me tell you, my review is not going to be short because I can't describe or rate this gym with a few words.  My son found this gym for me near my old apartment in NYC and he lives in Brazil, think about it lol.. When I first started, I will never forget the ones who welcomed me as I really felt out of place. Time went by and to my surprise I felt like home, like family at this gym. The community is awesome and the coaches are amazing. They will walk through the WOD, they will help you when you need it, especially for the beginners, and they take CrossFit seriously. The CrossFit program at this gym is great, you can never get tired of it. Is a place where you can grow as an athlete and be supported by the coaches and other members. They are big on proper form and mobility which is a must to stay injury free and continue to develop your athletic skill set.  There are classes from 5:30AM to 6:30PM Monday through Friday and some days last class at 7:30. Opens on Saturdays which are my favorite WODs. and yes, opens on SUNDAYS, there are no excuses for you to keep your yourself healthier, stronger and fitter. I recommend this gym One million times. Miss you guys, I heart EVF big time!!!

My first time doing CrossFit. I had so much during the class, very good instructor and people are nice. The gym is clean and got enough space. I also do private training with Colin which I can say the best coach I ever had!

Been going to EVF for about a year now and it has been a great decision. The coaches are super dedicated to helping you improve on your weaknesses and build strength, there are new challenges and exercises you can learn that are fun, and the community is the best part. Being able to lift heavy weights and hearing everyone cheer each other is a great testament to the awesome atmosphere at EVF. Highly recommend

As a dedicated member for nearly two years, EVF Performance has been an outstanding community and gym membership. The gym's diverse class offerings and flexible time slots accommodate my crazy and sporadic schedule. The standout feature is the exceptional coaching team, knowledgeable in CrossFit and dynamic in EVF 360 classes. Their friendliness creates a motivating and supportive atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned CrossFit enthusiast or new to the game, this gym caters to all levels. It's a top recommendation for those seeking a welcoming community, growth, and a five-star fitness experience. Grateful to be part of this exceptional journey!

Heard about this CrossFit gym from my friend, so went in for a tour and a free class. Really good vibe and got a amazing workout. Not pretentious and doesn't feel intimidating at all. Signed up for a membership; trying to go 2-3x after work, as they have classes in the morning and in the evening. The owner who is a personal trainer there is also really nice and down to earth. Definitely would recommend anyone that is into CrossFit or ever been interested to go check it out.

Worst excuse for a human being, being a Yoga instructor, I was at a private corner doing some big stretches together with weights when a guy who appears to work there walk down to the corner where i was stretching, meanwhile 'he has being working out this entire time clogging up his ''dense brain'' from his workout asked if I can please stop stretching and wear my shoe because of hygiene reasons otherwise he will call the police to which I responded please go ahead.

Firstly, like everyone else, my shoes as you can imagine has been all of the city, unlike my feets, a pathetic excuse to to piss me off, even the guy that was right next to me on a different bench press was like " who really care's'' (like most poor excuse for a human being, this guy in question was projecting and again, from first impression, I thought he was very dense)

Now, the important point is besides being a person whom has come to workout, I did not aggravate this guy and neither did he approach me kindly, should he had approach me differently then I am certain I would have a different perspective of him and the reason I choose to leave was simply because I cannot allow another person to project their emotions into my day or maybe I don't get it, maybe he was projecting racially‍♂️

Should the police arrive, are was he going to say that '' he called because I wasn't wearing my shoes while stretching'' rather laughable, yet very dense.

What is the point of this review? why is it important? It's simply because this was my unbiased experience of this place, so choose wisely.

#1 HIIT class! I have been going to EVF 360 classes for around 10 years, they are my absolute favorite workout class. As a former gymnast and track athlete, it is the best way to stay fit, and have fun in one workout. The EVF 360 class is a great mix of muscular endurance, strength training, and dynamic cardio. Each class is a completely new workout so it never gets old or predictable and there is always a new challenge. The community is awesome and everyone is super friendly and supportive during the classes. The coaches are very attentive and will help correct your form and motivate you throughout the session! Could not recommend this class more, best way to keep you body moving, get a little sweaty, and have a blast!
