WHAT Philadelphia LOCALS ARE SAYING...

The Best gym near me in Philadelphia !

I joined Novem shortly after moving to Philly and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I had always been decently fit and active, but wanted to try barbell lifting as a new personal challenge. Not only do the coaches train me on my movement, but offer lots of tips, techniques, and scaling options for a novice like me. But what’s surprised me most hasn’t been my notably improved strength or the friendly, welcoming environment (which are certainly major perks!) but the incredible community and friends I’ve made during my time with the gym. If you’re looking for a new home and a supportive space to get better and be yourself, Novem can’t be beat!

I’ve been coming to Novem for nearly three years, and it’s hands down the best CrossFit gym I’ve experienced! The coaches are incredible, the community is so supportive and friendly, and because of that I’ve been able to push myself more than ever before. If you want real progress and real people, Novem is it. Highly recommend at least giving it a try!

NovemFit is the best gym I’ve ever been to. I’ve worked out my whole life, but I’ve gotten into the best shape of my life here. The Bootcamp classes are so fun, super challenging in a good way, and every single day is different so it never gets boring. The coaches are amazing and really know what they’re doing, but they’re also kind, patient, and encouraging. You can start here as a total beginner or come in more advanced, and they always find a way to meet you where you are and push you safely. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely supportive, which makes it way less intimidating than other gyms. I actually look forward to my workouts now. If you want a fun, supportive place to get seriously fit, this is it.

Novem is so much more than a gym, it’s an important part of the fishtown/kensington community! I’ve been a member since around 2021 and have no plans of leaving. The coaches are highly knowledgeable and genuinely supportive, the workouts are challenging both mentally and physically. The members consistently encourage one another, creating a welcoming environment with zero gym intimidation. People of all fitness levels can easily succeed! I would highly recommend Novem for anyone who’s looking to improve fitness and make new friends.

I’ve been training at this gym for a while now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best fitness communities I’ve ever been part of. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping every athlete—whether you’re brand new or experienced—reach your goals safely and effectively. The workouts strike a perfect balance between challenge and variety. No two days feel the same, and I’ve noticed real progress in my strength, endurance, and overall confidence. The atmosphere is always energetic and positive, and the members make you feel welcome from day one. If you’re looking for a supportive place to get stronger, push your limits, and join an amazing community, this gym is the place to be. Highly recommended!
