CrossFit Gym in Thomaston and Avon, CT

About Us

CrossFit Override was founded in 2016 by Nick Chiovitti, Marshal Szyndlar and Eric April, with one simple mission: help people get in the best shape of their life and have fun doing it. What started as a single gym has grown into a thriving community, expanding in 2022 with the opening of Override North which has allowed us to impact even more lives through fitness.
