- CrossFit HCC has a program for everyone regardless of your fitness level. We will design a program that will help you achieve your personal fitness goals. Because our classes are smaller, there is a greater coach to athlete ratio. You get more one-on-one attention than you might receive in larger gyms. Our coaches know every athlete personally and they are familiar with your individual goals, and any possible limitations.
- CrossFit HCC is different than a traditional gym. Through a constantly evolving combination of weight lifting, gymnastics and metabolic conditioning, our workouts can be infinitely scaled to suit your personal ability level. Every workout is designed to be challenging, yet achievable. You’ll push yourself to new limits you thought were impossible.
- Military & First Responder Discounts Avaliable - see website
Spring is Retreat Season
- So what is a retreat exactly? They are often associated with getting away, taking a step back and having some time for yourself. It is important to know that there is more to retreats than ‘having a break’ or using them as a ‘holiday’. Many forget that there are options which encourage you to work on your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing in order to be a better version of yourself.
- Local Retreat locations include, Rhode Island, Southern Massachusetts, New York & Vermont. But if you willing and able to travel you will find them throughout the United States. Including Virginia, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado to name a few.
- Often the ONLY expense is getting there. Retreats are usually FREE to Veterans & their families. Retreats are created for TBI, PTSD, MST, LGBTQ+, Recovery, Couples, Families ......and more. Be sure to check out the button below for a comprehensive list or veteran retreats.
- IF YOU ARE THINKING "SOMEONE NEEDS IT MORE THAN ME" - YOUR WRONG! As veterans that thought comes into our head. That why often spots go unfilled!
- Reach out register soon! The experience of a retreat will change your life.

Welcome to Guardians Farm
- We are first generation dairy farmers who do things a little differently. We open our farm to the public on so you will see where your dairy comes from.
- Come meet the cows producing the delicious milk you drink. Meet the farmers who milk the cows twice a day, process that fresh milk at the farm and bottle it for you to enjoy.
- We love engaging with our visitors and teaching them about how and why we raise our animals the way we do. You can even make reservations to cuddle with our dairy calves.
At our farm stand we offer several products from other small local businesses and farms.
Our coffee from Great Minds Coffee Roasters in Oakville, CT is just what you need to get the day started.
