New Species CrossFit

Great community of people. So much more than a crossfit gym! Josh & Marcella are as good of coaches AND people anyone could ask for. Grateful to be a part of this gym and hope this finds someone considering!

I dropped in at New Species while I was in town for a week. The coaches and members made me feel welcome and it was so nice to have a place that felt a little bit like home. The entire community was friendly and supportive. I loved the warm-ups and programming, and their facility has everything you could need. I highly recommend this CrossFit gym, whether you are a new or experienced athlete. Thank you Marcella, Jake, Josh, and all the members who took a minute to say hello :)

Best training I have ever had. CrossFit is very difficult but New Species has done a great job at fostering a positive and welcoming environment that is conducive to everyone’s fitness levels. That being said, be prepared to get after it when you walk in the door.

I’ve been working out at a traditional gym for years, and my workouts had gotten stale, so I wanted to try CrossFit. I was a bit nervous and hesitated to do it for a long time but I’m happy to have started at new species CrossFit. I think this is the perfect place to start the owners/coaches are young, friendly, and eager to help and get people started. Although I had no idea what I was doing, they got me up to speed and into workouts right away. They also got my girlfriend who hates working out to start coming to CrossFit and now she is hooked and gets angry if we miss it.

As I said, I worked out a lot in the past, but these workouts have improved my cardiovascular endurance, immensely in the short time since I’ve joined. I’m getting consistently incredible workouts, and never leave the gym without being drenched in sweat and with a smile on my face.

In addition to regular CrossFit classes, they also offer kids classes, gymnastics, and yoga. And other alternatives like something called ruck, which is like an outdoor exercise regimen. They have a lot of offerings for classes like 4 classes in the morning one at noon then like 5 at night so there is availability to go before after or even during work and if the classes don’t align with your schedule you’re able to go do the workout of the day on your own time.

The owners and coaches really make this an incredible experience and the diverse age range and levels of fitness in participants makes sure everyone will fit in no matter their prior experience. If you’re hesitant I highly recommend dropping in for a class and giving it a go.

Family oriented gym! Definitely the perfect gym for bringing the little one.

BEST GYM EVER! Absolutely love this place. The coaches are amazing and will teach you everything you need to know, so don’t be afraid to join if you’re a rookie! Josh and Marcella (the owners) are absolute savages and they’re also the nicest people ever and will make you feel very welcome. Would recommend to anyone no matter what fitness level you’re at!

Literally obsessed with this gym! The owners are badass, ran by an incredible couple! The crew that works out there is amazing. Lots of class times throughout the gym. They saved my life. I am so grateful for my time there as I went from flab to less flab in just a few weeks!!!

Great environment great venue and the best coaches 100% recommended

BEST GYM EVER! I recently swapped gyms because I didn’t feel I wasn’t being pushed enough. On the first day, they give you a free workout session. Very intense! The trainers are awesome and very hype during the workouts. They let you choose any weight you want but also make sure to watch your form and let you know if you need to drop down a weight because your form might be wrong.

I started going their during the COVID pandemic, they do a great job with making sure everyone cleans the equipment after they’ve used it.

I've tried out a lot of boxes, and most of the boxes in the area. I can say without a doubt that this one is the best that I've ever been to. All the trainers are incredibly dedicated. A lot of the people who go here aren't your typical gym goers. The people here have big goals that they want to achieve, and they all want each other to achieve those goals as well. This is a place to go not only for phenomenal workouts but to also learn and become a better athlete. Josh Hunnicutt is the owner and runs a good portion of the classes. His motivation is unmatched. I've shown up completely dead and this guys energy is just contagious. Stop looking at other boxes. Go here.

Absolutely incredible trainers. From beginner to advanced, they all have a great angle and advice to get trained correctly. I have recommended multiple people to New Species and all have agreed it is the best box in the area by far. Keep up the great work Josh and crew!

This place is amazing! Such a great, empowering, and positive environment! Marcella, Josh, Meaghan, Liz, and Gretchen are all phenomenal motivators! We cannot wait to go back, and our girls are looking forward to becoming official "little dragons".

Coming from no athletic background and lower back pain , I was super nervous about joining Crossfit. But the way all the coaches in New Species Crossfit helped me with everything, I felt so comfortable learning and pushing myself.
Everybody in the community is supper welcoming and help you learn something new all the time.

I have been part of this tribe for going on 6 years and words cannot express the sense of community Josh and Marcella give and the appreciation I have for this box. I drive 30 minutes at 5 am, just to come to this box and will continue to do so!

When I started I had never touched a barbell, let alone pushed sleds or climbed ropes. I was nervous that I would fail and was worried I would not fit in. What I learned was that no matter an athlete's ability, their strengths or weakness, Josh always has a spot for them at New Species Crossfit. Josh and Marcella's attention to each athlete and their needs are spot on. As someone who has been through a broken foot, orthopedic surgery, and a pregnancy with these two, the programming was always modifiable to my needs.

Josh and Marcella- Thanks for an amazing, inclusive place filled with amazing coaches!

Awesome gym! The coaches are always helpful and really push you to perform at your best regardless of skill/experience level.

High energy atmosphere with good music, excellent coaching, motivation, and instruction. Lots of fun here and lots of people to meet. Everyone brings something from their own background. It all comes together and everyone picks up a new adventure. I picked up running, triathlons, and rucking(I _never_ ran before I joined crossfit). Some friends do marathons, some Tough Mudder, some play football, etc.

The place has excellent equipment that is always in proper working condition. Ropes, sleds, racks, Olympic bars for men and women as well as practice bars, tons of bumper plates, steel plates, benches, safety spotter arms, dip belts, rowing machines, CHALK etc...

It's kept clean. The bathroom is very clean and professional +1 can of Febreeze. Some place to store you coat, shoes, and keys etc. when you arrive.

As long as I have been here the gym has been growing. Improved coaching, added equipment, seminars, special classes, yoga, open gym. Almost all of the additions have been free of charge.

If you haven't tried crossfit, don't wait. Very encouraging environment where you get the help and attention you need to continue to perform at YOUR highest. I look forward to every class.

Family owned biz, plenty of classes, great equipment, good people. I bring my son to kids CrossFit, he loves it.

Great place! I've been part of it maybe for 2 years now, when a friend came to workout with me for a drop in, the first thing he said was "this place is bad a**"!
Good people, great coaches and the 5:30am class rocks.

This is an awesome gym with knowledgable and friendly staff. If you're looking for the best CrossFit gym in Michigan - this is it!

Great box. Josh and his dog (love a gym dog!) ran great class and on time. Highly recommend.
