At around 5 in the morning most days a week I drive from the upper west side to Grit City in the Bronx passing well over 100 gyms. Why - a rational person would ask? Because after extensive diligence its 100% certain that there is no better fitness program then what comes out of the brilliant (and at times maniacal) mind of Sean Wright at Grit City. No matter what your fitness goal, level or weakness you may be battling, he will personalize programming and push your limits making you greater then what you ever fathomed possible. If you want to be better tomorrow then you are today - Go Here!Sheara Fredman
I can’t recommend this gym enough. I’ve been doing classes as well as 1:1 training and it’s perfect for all levels from beginner to pro.I’ve trained with some of the best strength & conditioning coaches in the world and this is the only gym in NYC I’ve found that has that level of excellence. Professional, effective, and fun. Great vibes, great people, great coaches, great equipment, and most of all… great results.
Ive joined so many gyms and tried different classes to find a challenge and a place where I didnt plateau in a couple months AND THIS IS IT! As Im writing this review, my shoulders and arms are sore beyond belief from yesterdays soul crushing work out. Im still surprised whenever it happens ... last week was my legs =) Ive been a member since 2017 and the work outs are always cleverly programmed, fun and demanding. Yes I said fun! =) The coaches and members are all welcoming and motivating to be around. Sean Wright the owner and one of the coaches there has the best strength and conditioning program ever. If you consistently come to class, YOU WILL see the results. If you dont believe it, I seriously recommend trying a class to see for yourself. You dont need to know everything, you just have to show up and the coaches will handle it from there. Everyone truly wants you to success and pushes each other to be the best version of themselves here and that energy and inspiration will spill into your everyday life. This community will be your 2nd family. The only regret you will have is not finding this place sooner. Im telling you just come see what all the fuss is about!! Youll thank yourself (and me) later!!
Concrete Jungle Grit Strength is more than a gym, it is an experience. Sean the head coach is highly professional and attentive to all students in the class. The classes are challenging and rewarding and you will never feel lost even if you are a beginner. The ambience is healthy and everyone is friendly. The location is convenient, since the 4, 5, and 2 train are only 1 block away as well as busses. My overall experience was very satisfying and I personally signed up for unlimited classes. I will recommend this crossfit location to anyone in the area or coming from the borough. Also, you will never feel crowded because this location is massive.#health #weight #crossfit #jungle #art
I went for a free class, having done strength and conditioning in the past. The trainer Q was awesome, super friendly, and helpful with workout and getting us familiar where things are located in the gym. I had the opportunity to speak to Shaun the owner as well, who also very polite and provided some tips on how I can reach my workout goals. Going back soon! The atmosphere overall is open, friendly and rewarding. Definitely come visit.
Best Coaches and Community! There is no place where you will get stronger and fitter. You will be pushed to your personal limit (the bar moves up every week). Just be willing to work! On your first day you are welcomed into the community #fitfamily . It’s my happy place and trust me it’s worth the hike! 😃 💪
Grit city is the perfect example of how many different people from all walks of life can support cheer and motivate each other the its really a great community. The programing is tough but great and the coaches are super passionate they will modify for all levels of fitness
Ive had the pleasure of going to various CrossFit and Strength & Conditioning gyms in NYC over the years, yet I was totally blown away when I walked into Grit City last night. Its a massive space, might be the largest CF gym Ive been to before, and this allows them to have a ton of equipment available (Barbells, kettlebells, stones, sandbags), and even an indoor basketball court.I took a free trial class with the owner, Sean, and he did a wonderful job of making me feel welcome and leading my class through a full-body warm-up, technique, strength piece (back squats) and a ten minute conditioning (cardio) workout to finish things off.The class was great, workout was tough (but manageable), and the other members were very welcoming. I can tell they have a great community that are very motivating and friendly with each other. Long story short, if youre in the area (Bronx, East Harlem, UES), I cant recommend Grit City enough. Whether youre a long time athlete or someone looking to begin their fitness journey, you wont find a better gym in the area to workout and get fit.
I spent 3 months last year on classpass, trying all sorts of gyms in nyc.Then I found grit city, and here i am a year and a half later, still coming. Its welcoming, effective and offers a path to fitness to everyone. The coaches are great, its a good community, and the facility is ever expanding. Do recommend!

2022-05-02This gym is by far the best one I’ve ever been a member of. Every coach is impeccable. The classes are challenging but not overwhelming. The members are welcoming, hard-working and fun. Sean Wright is without a doubt the GOAT of coaches (and dancers) 😬 who creates a sense of community & comaraderie within his gym. You haven’t trained until you’ve worked out here!

2022-03-19Grit City is the best gym in the world. The workouts are super tough and rewarding at the same time. The coaches are amazing - Coach Megan is the best and she’s also my best friend!! Also, 1:1 training sessions with Sean are by far the most challenging I’ve experienced. If you want a gym that’s challenging, different and full of love then this one is for you. The community you get with Grit City makes this gym the total package. Get ready to work though!!

2022-06-26Amazing coaches, community, and gym. I can’t say enough. Sean the owner is amazing and sets the tone. Coaches care about your personal progress. The members are welcoming and share a strong sense of community. And the space is huge. Being a member is life changing. And its walkable from the 2, 4, 5, and 6 (coming from E86th street in Manhattan isnt bad).

2022-03-19Grit City has been my second home for over 8 years. I wanted a gym that had group classes and the sense of community blew me away. Not only have I hit milestones that I never thought possible when it comes to strength and conditioning, I’ve also made life long friends here. Grit City has the best coaches and the classes are second to none.

2022-03-23I have now been working with Sean and Grit City for almost 6 years! I tried multiple gyms and classes when I moved to the city years ago and the first time I stepped foot into Grit City, I knew it was home! I have worked with Sean both in a group setting and most recently one on one. You will not find someone more dedicated or knowledgeable in their craft who truly cares about the people! I cannot recommend Grit City enough!

2022-03-19Love this place, it has change my fitness mindset. The workouts are crazy but hard and it will get you stronger physically and mentally. I have seen results a lot faster than other gyms I have been apart of in the past. I wish I would joined this gym a lot sooner rather than later.

2022-02-27I’m not an athlete, I’d never lifted weights, and I was intimidated by the thought of even trying CrossFit. I’ve been going to Grit City for about 8 months and it’s been the most challenging and personally rewarding experience of my life. Sean and the Grit City team will push you beyond the limits of your own mind. I am stronger physically and mentally for being a part of this gym. If you need coaching and support along your fitness journey you’ll get it here.
