FAQ

Rittenhouse Fitness is a functional fitness gym in the Rittenhouse section of Center City Philadelphia. We offer CrossFit classes alongside a broader range of functional fitness programming, so however you like to train, there's a path for you here.

We offer three coached tracks so you can pick the one that fits where you're starting from and where you want to go.

• Fundamentals is our on-ramp program for anyone new to CrossFit or functional fitness. You'll work one-on-one with a coach to build proper technique and confidence with the core movements before joining group classes.
• CrossFit is our original program: high-intensity, varied functional movements performed at a challenging pace within a class setting. It's a great fit if you're looking for a competitive edge and a strong sense of community.
• Rittenhouse Fitness is our functional fitness track, built for people who want the same expert coaching and real results as CrossFit, without the intensity or competitive culture. Workouts are scalable to any fitness level and focus on strength, mobility, and everyday functional movement.

All three programs are led by our coaching staff and can be scaled to your experience level, so you're never on your own figuring out where to start.

No. Our Fundamentals program is built for anyone new to CrossFit or functional fitness. You'll work with a coach to learn proper movement and technique at your own pace before joining regular classes.

Not at all. We built our functional fitness track specifically for people who want real results without the intensity or culture that can make CrossFit feel unapproachable. You'll get expert coaching and a supportive community either way.

The entrance is located in the back of the building on the intersection of Bonsal & Ionic.
