how we got here

Founded in 2013, 1607 Athlete Performance Center started with one barbell, a garage, and a simple goal: train better, feel better, live stronger. What began as a passion project quickly grew into CrossFit 1607… a community built on hard work, support, and real results.

As we evolved, so did our mission. Working with local teams like Williamsburg Boat Club and 757 Swim sparked a deep focus on sports performance, expanding our coaching to athletes across the area.

In 2025, we made the move to the WISC, leveling up into a larger space and reaching more athletes than ever. With expanded adult training options like CrossFit, HYROX, and Practical Weightlifting, 1607 became more than a gym—it became a complete performance center.

Today, we’re still that same family-owned crew—just bigger, stronger, and ready to help you level up.

stuff you’re probably wondering

(aka the faq’s)

  • CrossFit = varied strength + conditioning.
    HYROX = structured, race-style training with running.
    Both = effective, challenging, and coached every step of the way.

  • Absolutely not! That’s our job! Whether you’re brand new or getting back into it, we’ll meet you where you are and build from there.

  • Very! Every class is coach-led and fully scalable, so you’ll never feel lost (or left behind).

  • A typical class includes a coach-led warm up, skill or strength work, and a structured workout tailored to your fitness level.

  • We modify everything! Our coaches adjust movements and loads so you can train safely and still make progress.

  • Of course! Actually we can do you one better… try us for FREE for 2 weeks so you can see what we’re all about!

  • Supportive, welcoming, and just the right amount of hype. No egos… just hard work and high fives!
