Invictus Boston - Park Square 116 Providence Street, Boston, MA 02116

"Dropped in yesterday and had a great workout. I’ve dropped in here a few times previously while traveling, and there are always great coaching and programming and a welcoming community."

"This is Invictus “overflow” facility and as such it’s really small, with limited equipment. Their Columbus location is much better."

"I drop in at Invictus almost every time I visit Boston and I know I’ll get a great workout with solid coaching staff. Thanks, guys! FYI - it seems the entrance is now in the alley."

"Invictus is a legendary name in the world of CrossFit, especially in 2023 when Team Invictus took the top spot at the CrossFit Games. They have a couple of locations in Boston, and even though I used to live and work in the area, I never had the opportunity to drop-in with them. I recently got back into CrossFit this past May after many years away and have been working at going 3x a week. Well, I was going to be back in Boston for a couple of days, and if I wanted to be consistent, I needed to find a gym. Invictus in Park Square was within a 15 minute walk from my hotel (Omni Parker House). I took in a 7am class. I got there about 15 minutes and the previous class was still in action, so I got a preview of what I was in for as far as the programming. Coach Molly caught sight of me and told me there was another room I could warm up and stretch in while I waited for my class to start. When it was time to start and I went to see the space in full for the first time, it was a little smaller than I was expecting. being long and narrow and relatively shorter ceilings where I wouldn't feel comfortable doing jerks or snatches, but apart from the heigh they make really good use of the space. It was a full class, but no one was in anyone else's way. Coach Molly was welcoming throughout. She gave clear instruction to the class. Even though she didn't know a whole lot about my time with CF (apart from the fact that I go to a gym in NH and have been going since May), she made sure to let me know where I can find equipment or personal dry erase boards, and she had a keen eye in how she observed my form and gave good feedback. That's important to me, because the last thing I want is to do something wrong and get hurt because of it. The strength programming just so happened to involve a movement I haven't had the opportunity to do yet at my home gym (sumo deadlifts), and between Molly's instruction and her advice on a minor adjustment, I felt completely at ease with the movement. The programming for the metcon was a beast, in my eyes. In the best way. Sometimes, I like to feel like a workout has kicked my butt, particularly if I go in the morning (I'm ordinarily a lunchtime or after work guy). This didn't disappoint. Lots of power cleans, lots of wall balls, lots of rowing. The other athletes that were there were pretty cool. I tend to keep to myself when I'm in an unfamiliar place, but CrossFit gyms can feel familiar because everyone is sharing a similar mindset. I was cranking out the last of my rowing calories and some of the other athletes that were there—people who don't know me, and in all likelihood will never even see me again—rallied around me to push me to finish the rowing. That's the kind of stuff I love about CF, and it's good to see a big name in the industry still has that sense of community. tl;dr - Although smaller than the average gym, they make great use of the space. Coach Molly was a great all-around instructor, the programming was challenging in a good way, and the other athletes share that sense of community that CrossFit is known for."

"I have been a member of this gym for about 5 years now and I love it. The quality of the coaching is excellent. The coaches take you through a warm up before each class, and they demonstrate each movement beforehand. They also coach you if they see you are doing a movement incorrectly. I would usually rather sit on the couch than work out, but once I am there, it is actually fun! Fun people and nice coaches. I believe my fitness has improved quite a bit. If you are feeling intimidated by CrossFit, don't worry, you can "scale" the exercises in any workout to your current abilities."
