EVF Performance & CrossFit Upper East Side

EVF performance is hands-down one of the best gyms I’ve ever experienced. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed not only by the incredible staff but also by the amazing community of members. The atmosphere is unlike any other gym I’ve tried. The coaches and management are personable, caring, and genuinely invested in helping you achieve your goals while prioritizing safety and proper form. Before joining EVF, I tried a few other gyms, but none of them could match the sense of community I was looking for. EVF is more than just a place to work out; it’s a supportive and connected community where you feel valued and appreciated. The coaching team is amazing! Chris is an incredible coach with unmatched charisma and a genuine interest in helping you succeed, both in and out of the gym. Wayne has a heart of gold and takes the time to ensure your form is spot-on during every workout. Christina is encouraging and pushes you to go beyond your comfort zone, and I love that about her! Colin is always attentive, ensuring we have everything we need and answering any questions we may have. His passion for his work is truly remarkable. The sense of community and the quality of coaching at EVF are rare and truly special. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be challenged, supported, and inspired, EVF Performance is it. I’m so grateful to be part of this incredible gym!

The best CrossFit gym I’ve joined! CrossFit can be intimidating and overly technical for beginners, but don’t worry, the coaches at EVF Performance have got you covered! Classes have a good balance of people and space, so the coaches always make time to correct your performance and help you improve your posture. They’re also great at breaking down the steps to getting movements right.

Incredible experience! Awesome coaches and great gym community. Coaches thoroughly explain movements and help modify to everyone’s abilities. All the participants are extremely supportive. Everyone is cheering each other on. My fitness has improved so much since participating in EVF CrossFit classes, highly recommend!

I visited EVF four times through ClassPass and was hooked on their 360 class. It's a great experience. The class formats are engaging and very fun. The classes are also smaller so you're not overwhelmed. The instructors are very helpful, walking us through a variety of modifications for people at different skill levels and explaining new terms to me when I was just getting started. The community is supportive and welcoming as well. I also appreciate that the gym is clean and well-maintained. This is a great spot for people at any age and any skill level.

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!!!
