Not Just Certified. A Crew That Cares.
Hook’d has been part of the Sandy Hook community since 2013 and we’ve been coaching CrossFit athletes long before it was trendy. Our team is made up of experienced CrossFit coaches who bring more than certifications to the table. We bring care, consistency, and a deep understanding of what works — because we’ve been helping people of all levels hit goals for over a decade.

The CrossFit Philosophy Behind Hook’d
We believe CrossFit is more than a workout. It’s a framework for lifelong strength, confidence, and resilience. At Hook’d, our programming is rooted in the CrossFit philosophy: constantly varied movements, functional training, and intensity scaled to every individual. It’s not about doing more — it’s about doing what works, with intention. That’s why our functional training in Newtown helps people of all ages and backgrounds feel better, move better, and live stronger.
