im north of boston, on came ann. cape ann crossfit is in gloucester and i think tends to be a bit "testosteron-y", from what i hear if that makes any sense. i hear good things about north shore crossfit in topsfield. they have another gym in beverly (also northshore crossfit) that is newer and shinier. i think that topsfield is a more casual atmosphere. again, its all hearsay since i cant afford to join right now and just go to the YMCA!
