I didn't think I'd like CrossFit this much, to be honest. It's probably because the coaches and other members are so great. I've lifted weights pretty casually for years, but ever since my first two weeks at Breaking Point in October, I've been hooked. High energy, super welcoming, and challenging in the best way.

I can't say how much I appreciate all of the trainers at Breaking Point. They are all very knowledgeable and have a genuine concern in making sure you are doing the exercises in the proper way. The environment is friendly and comfortable with a good dose of motivation. If you are looking for something different then your average gym you should seriously consider taking one of their free classes.

I joined the gym earlier this year when I first moved to Philly. I've been crossfit training for the last few years and am well aware that there are "good" gyms and "bad" gyms. So naturally I went online to look at reviews and committed to drop into 2 different gyms before choosing one. This was the first one I choose to drop into and this was the only one I dropped into. The coaches are very experienced. They genuinely are concerned about you performing the movements safely and offer suggestions to improve your performance. The members of the gym are a mixed crowd... you have a few from every age group, you're bound to make a new friend. Everyone is very supportive of one another as we are competitive. Whether you're a beginner who has never worked out or you're like an Olympic lifter, you will fit in just fine. Also, the schedule is so flexible that it makes it hard to find an excuse not to show up. So if you need an extra push when you're working out because you can't push yourself or if you hate working out by yourself and need a buddy no matter when you show up to the gym.. this is the right place for you.

Breaking Point Fitness is the best gym that I have ever been to. It's not just a place where you pay your fee and get a sub-par work out and leave for the day. The coaches genuinely care about your progress and you as a person. Not only are they extremely knowledgable on fitness and health, but they are wonderful people who have great life advice! They feel more like friends than anything. Patient, understanding and persistent are the words I would use to best describe them. The people are also what makes this place so great, never judged me once and always suggesting new ways for me to succeed on a workout. I feel comfortable around them 100%. If you are up for a positive change for both your mind and body I wouldn't hesitate on joining!

Hands down the best gym I ever joined. Every single coach is knowledgeable and encourages every member to push themselves past what they thought they could do. The programming is the best around and everyone at the gym is friendly and encouraging. If you're looking for a gym that will push you while also having fun, this place is for you!

There is no place like this. The commitment to your own development by the coaches and the sense of community is something that you will not find anywhere else. The workouts, the coaches, and the members are just awesome!

I've been a member here for just under 5 years and I am usually not one for reviews. However, I think it's about time credit is given where credit is due.
When I first walked in, I thought I was in the best shape of my life. I needed more of a challenge, and I knew that if I was going to take on a whole new form of training, I wanted to learn from someone who had more than just a weekend certificate. I knew that Jim had an extensive background through both education and experience, and the well-deserved recognition as one of the best Personal Trainers in the area, so I dropped in, and I'm so glad that I did.
Overall, I'd have to say the past 5 years have made me better, in large because of my experience here; As it turns out, I was NOT in my best shape, and today I am stronger, have much better endurance, and am a whole lot more flexible that I thought I'd ever be. However, I've also seen things like a pre-existing chronic shoulder injury go away, and most importantly, I've gained a lot of friends through a consistently growing community "where everybody knows your name."
These things come from a coach who programs specifically to benefit ALL of his members and their corresponding goals, and more importantly, a Business Owner who is consistently working to ensure he's providing the best possible product that he can, to his clientele.
Whether you're an experienced athlete, looking for a new challenge, someone who's never entered a gym in their life and but wants to get in shape, or are simply just new in town and looking to meet flat out good people, you would be a welcomed addition to this family.

I'm really happy with my experience here! Big, spacious gym with lots of equipment and a very supportive, cohesive and friendly community of people (coaches and athletes)! All skill levels are welcome without question. You're encouraged to test your limits *safely*. Finally, I think this gym has one of the most affordable memberships in the area!

By far the best gym, programming, and community in Philadelphia. Genuine coaches who care about your performance, safety, and friendship. The constantly varied programming has kicked my butt every day for the past two years, and the strength programming has helped me PR all of my lifts and made me an overall more rounded athlete. Jim & Rachel run a top notch affiliate, where people of all levels are welcomed and succeed. #BPF4LIFE

Breaking Point Fitness is exactly what the name claims, take your body to its breaking point without injury. After being skeptical of cross fit for years I can truly say I'm a convert. Jim and Rachel are phenomenal trainers that provide a welcoming and safe environment for training. This is above and beyond the best experience I've had at a gym with the best results. Twelve pounds down and still going!
This place is not only an amazing gym, it is a community. I am so unbelievably grateful for the amazing friends I have made and family that it has created in manayunk. Could not say enough amazing things about every single Trainer in the gym.
