CrossFit WindRose, Johnston RI

My teenage son started going and I was driving him and waiting in the car and then I started to think why am I not just doing these classes with him. Why? Because I scared, I was afraid I wouldn’t fit in and that I wouldn’t be able to do any of the exercises and would be embarrassed. Well I signed up and haven’t looked back. The coaches here are amazing and this is 100% a NO JUDGMENT ZONE.it’s a place where everyone is family and encourages you to do your best to help you succeed in your goals. If you’re on the fence about trying I highly recommend you just do it. Contact Dave. Oh bonus it’s baby and dog friendly!

Needed to find a new CrossFit gym after moving, and this one was the exact vibe I was looking for. You aren't going to see any Games Athletes here, but you'll find a bunch of everyday people working to stay fit, healthy and strong. Programming is a great mix of strength, cardio and skill work, while also getting plenty of prehab and mobility as well.

Everyone is welcoming and friendly, classes are fairly small and the coaches are great. If you're looking for a place to get fit and strong for life, this is a great community to join.

Fun environment, knowledgable and helpful coaching staff, and just an overall great community to be part of. Windrose has become a second home. Not only has it helped me get more fit, but I’ve made some great friends along the way.

This place is great for everyone. It has a great community and the coaches and other people are there to encourage you and to help you along your journey. You could be just starting or have experience. The coaches will push you and help you accomplish or acceed your goals. It is an all around amazing gym and perfect for anyone wanting to get into fitness.

I am still active duty in the Army living in KY. Was visiting family for the week during the week of the 4th of July. Dave and his team were super professional and accommodating for the time I was in town. Will definitely come back when I’m in the area. If you are looking for a great place to workout and community this place is it.

Needed a new CrossFit place and our neighbor suggested this and we haven’t second guessed coming here once. Great community and workouts are always changing and challenging. Very good flow to get back into CrossFit after a long break from it. Dave’s great and comes up with fun events for all the members.

Windrose is by far the best! They always have us stretch before and after a workout which is so important! They explain and demonstrate every movement before we do any kind of lifting. Very family and pet friendly, always doing different classes for kids/teens! Very knowledgeable and supportive! Everyone there is super friendly and will cheer you on! Very friendly and family oriented! Always helps you and will keep you motivate to reach whatever goal your reaching! If your thinking about doing crossfit stop thinking and talk to Dave, you will not be disappointed! I never thought I would enjoy going to a gym. Now, I look forward to each and every workout!

I only wish I had started CrossFit sooner. The staff at windrose always makes me feel welcome even though I’m not nearly in the shape that most of their members are in. They always make you feel like family. Dave, Whitney, Niki, jeff, and krista are awesome!

Love the community, coaching and overall vibe. The coaches bring a ton of expertise and the programming is well done. There’s a good chance you will be hanging out with some gym dogs. Overall Crossfit Windrose makes fitness enjoyable.

This is the best gym in RI. Fun and supportive environment with coaches who are knowledgeable and can help you achieve your goals!

I started going to CrossFit windrose in August. I am not super athletic and I am overweight. I have to say from the moment I walked in I felt so comfortable. Dave is amazing at what he does and breaks down everything for you. I had never done CrossFit before and didn’t know much about it, I watched it on television and that was the extent of my knowledge. It doesn’t matter where you are on your journey you can learn how to do this. They teach you the correct movements and modify everything so that it fits where you at and your first couple of classes the coach is there pretty much holding your hand through it. I still ask questions and need help and it’s okay they are there for you every step of the way. You aren’t thrown to the wolves. Honestly the nicest most welcoming gym I’ve ever been too. Everyone is so supportive. I love it here.

Windrose is simply put the best gym in RI. All the Coaches are super friendly and really take the time to teach you proper technique, allow you to take the time to learn it and help you get better. It is a place where you go and always feel welcome and they foster an environment of inclusion no matter what. I have learned so much since starting and continue to look forward to each work out. Big plus that there is always fun extras going on too, not just standard classes - teen and kids programs, OCR Training, gymnastics and other special clinics, beer miles, slip and slides, and movie nights to name a few! Bring your kids and doggies too! If you wanted to try Crossfit, or have been doing it and want a new gym - this is the place, and you definitely should come say hello!

Crossfit Windrose provided me with an outlet during the COVID shutdown through online classes, challenges, and fb community group. There are a variety of opportunities to assist a healthy lifestyle from nutrition assistance and plans, body scans, small group clinics, one on one training, crossfit classes with a supportive community, ocr classes, outings, and local team events like road races, Backyard Games, just to name a few. Once you step through the doors you’ll be hooked!

The best experience I’ve ever had creating a fitness routine (it’s been over a year and I’ve actually stuck with it)! The owner Dave is super and always coming up with new ways to keep his members motivated on their Fitness journeys. Throughout COVID the environment at CF windrose has been kept clean, safe, and modified to keep up with the regulations. The programmed workouts are always fun and rewarding even if they are challenging. My favorite part about being a member at CrossFit windrose aside from the gym dogs and the awesome people:), is that the workouts can be modified to any skill level and the coaches do a great job making sure the members understand whatever it is they need to do. This experience is similar to having a personal trainer (which they also offer, as well as nutrition guidance) in a socially distanced group setting. Come check them out- you will love it there!

Highly recommend CrossFit Windrose! Trying CrossFit for the first time I was a little nervous but felt extremely welcomed from the first time I walked in the door. From other members to all the coaches. The owner Dave takes the time to consult and discuss goals as well as explaining all you need to know for the classes! The environment is very encouraging and I love that no matter what level you come in at Dave and the other coaches make you feel comfortable with the movements and modify if needed. Definitely hooked and enjoy working out more than I ever have before!

I started at CrossFit Windrose after my gym shut down permanently during the pandemic. I was unsure of starting somewhere new but everyone at Windrose made me feel welcome and I immediately felt like I was a part of their community. Dave is an awesome owner. Super professional and helpful. The other coaches are amazing as well and always want to put in extra time to help you with your weaknesses. The gym is clean and equipment is taken care of. I’m so glad I found a new place to call home.

I just started my CrossFit Journey. So far it’s been a great experience thus far! Over the top knowledgeable, friendly and safe program. And Also offers nutrition guidance. Every day is a different posted program explaining WOD, demo and offering QA before hand. Each workout pushing you to do your best the correct way! I totally recommend checking it out! It’s COVID-19 SAFE!
