CrossFit Torque is by far the best plae I have ever worked out at - I have worked out at many facilities all over the State - with & without personal trainers - crossFit torque combines the best of both worlds. The owners and coaches truly care about your well being and health! I have and will recommend CrossFit Torque every time!!

CROSSFIT sincerely cares about every person that walks in. The attention you receivce makes you feel like part of the family no matter what fitness level you are on. The coaches are superior. And what the work outs do for you body is truly AMAZING. I am 52 years old and saw/felt my body change in just a few visits. If you are skeptical & need validation, come in for a free visit you'll be hooked!

CrossFit Torque is by far the best place to work out in Foxboro, simply because CrossFit is absolutely the most superior fitness regimen available. I hate to see that WOW will most likely win this award simply because of the sheer size of their member base. CrossFit Torque offers a staff that truly cares about every single member's well-being. WOW in a conglomerate that only cares about their bottom line. Personal training comes with an extra charge. CrossFit Torque is family owned and operated and they operate soley to improve the lives of their members. The members at CrossFit Torque are fitter than anyone who will ever walk into or walk out of WOW, period. Proving that constantly varied, functional movements, performed at high intensity is the only way to obtain "elite fitness". The treadmill and bicep curls will never allow you to achieve fitness.

I have never been to Crossfit Torque but I have been to WOW. I am a member there. But I have to say, you are probably right. When I walk into wow they don’t give you the time of the day! Its all about getting members in there and then forgetting them. I have very poor flexiblity and two Knee replacements, but WOW doesnt really work with that, just showed me machines to use. If only I had known!

It is sad to see that in order to make your gym superior you will trash other gyms and their members. The best place to wokr out is the best place for you. Cross fit may be good for someone and not for others. WOW may be good for some and not for others. It is all personal preference and the bottom line is no matter where you work out if you do not put in the effort you will not see results. I would like to see some classier comments than ones that talk about members of other gyms not being as fit. What works for you does not work for everyone. Thats what makes the world go round and every business have a fighting chance in this world.

Kyle - I'm sorry to see that you're taking this so personally. Everything that is going on here is all about personal opinion. I am a CrossFit certified trainer myself and I know that it CAN work for everyone due to it's universal scalability. I'm not trying to trash anyone individually for working out. I think that physical activity, no matter what it is, is better than nothing. However, this is an award being handed out to the best place to work out in Foxboro, which I believe is CrossFit Torque. The owners and trainers are great at what they do, understand the needs of every individual client, and help everyone who walks in the door get the results they want. You don't seem to offer an opinion yourself but maybe you work for WOW or Gold's or wherever, but CrossFit torque offers a free trial class so I urge you to try it yourself before commenting on it's effectiveness. As you can see from the comments above, we have members who range from the ages of 18 to 62 who all come in with different backgrounds, ailments, limits, and physical preparedness and I've seen every one of them overcome seemingly impossible feats every single day. I have also seen many of them reverse back pain, knee and joint trouble, and even cure diabetes! That is why I am saying CrossFit Torque is the best place to work out. Every single one of our members has a success story which is something you don't find at your average conglomerate gym.

Great staff and trainers at WOW. I 've been back to the gym about a month training with Sean. I told him I had 6 months to get in shape before my daughters wedding in September. He pushes me twice as hard as I'd push myself during my hour workouts. He makes sure he changes the training routine to keep me engaged. I am
already feeling better and seeing results thanks to Sean.

Elite Dance Center, in Foxboro is the place to go for a different and fun kind of workout. Between Zumba, Hip-hop, Zumba toning, Tap and starting soon Piloxing it doesn't seem like your working out while having so much fun. The owner and teacher of this studio Lindsay Deneault is very knowledgeable at everything she does. Come check out her studio!

Elite Dance Center (www.elitedance.us) of Foxboro offers a wide range of adult classes from Tap, Ballet, Zumba and Piloxing. Also, there are a variety of children's classes for all ages. I recommend Elite Dance Center for a great way to exercise and have fun!
