Having come from an extremely strong Crossfit community in Minneapolis, I was expecting a lot out of the gyms in Connecticut. Iron Resolve Crossfit was one of the few area gyms that satisfied my two most important needs, solid programming and experienced coaching. Programming at Iron Resolve has been incredibly solid, with a good mix of olympic technique, basic core lifting, and thought out WODs. The current coaches, Dan and Mike, offer needed cues and help scale things down when needed. The space itself is fantastic, long enough space that you can run inside in the winter. Not sure if running in the winter is a point for or against Iron Resolve though… such a miserable thing to do. With a solid community behind it, this is a great place for the committed, but maybe not Games competitive, crossfitter looking to get stronger and faster. As some more accessory equipment is brought in, I’ll probably end up taking this review to five stars, as that is one of the few, knocks against IRCF.
