CrossFit Alaska

Come workout with us at CrossFit Alaska! We offer CrossFit, CrossFit Kids, Nutritional Coaching, and Personal Training to help you reach your fitness goals.

I stopped by Crossfit Alaska by myself for the first time and the people there were really welcoming. The facility is spacious and has enough room to do the workout comfortably. David was the coach during my visit and did a great job of explaining what we would be doing that day as well as motivating us during the workout. I would recommend anyone interested in trying out Crossfit to check this place out, or if you're like me and just need a place to drop in while you're traveling, this is the place. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in town. Thanks Crossfit Alaska!

My husband, who was already in good shape from doing Crossfit, talked me into going to a free workout at Crossfit Alaska. I found the workout to be very difficult, but Coach Kelly encouraged me to come back and try the Foundations course. I signed up in November 2018 and have been going ever since.

I never considered myself an athlete or felt proud of my physical abilities, but the community at Crossfit Alaska and the sport itself have allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined. I have come to realize how strong my body is and what it is capable of. Our Crossfit Alaska family has kept me going during the pandemic and it has become my safe and happy place.

I joined CrossFit Alaska with the goal of improving my fitness, and I've achieved that goal and more. I'm always looking for new physical challenges, and since joining CrossFit I've completed Spartan races, triathlons, the Clean Air Challenge, and numerous 5K road races. As a Masters athlete, I never would have imagined I would be where I am today.

The CrossFit community is a supportive and inclusive one, where people of all ages and abilities are welcome. I have been lucky to be a part of CrossFit Alaska's 5:30 a.m. class (Rooster Crew), where the coaches and other athletes are incredibly supportive. This group of people has changed my life.

I joined CrossFit because I was young and active, but I would throw my back out every few months and have a debilitating, hunched over few days where I couldn’t do anything. Everyone said I needed to “strengthen my core,” so I finally gave CrossFit a shot. I had no idea how fun it would be to get strong, or how strong I could get. CFAK is a special place where people come to work hard, learn, laugh, and surround ourselves with people making healthy choices, pursuing our goals, and getting high on endorphins. The competitive vibe I feared, it turns out, is more about motivating than it is about winning. CrossFit has made me more confident and better able to do the things I love to do when I’m not at the gym. It’s also incredibly friendly and inclusive. The coaches’ knowledge makes me feel safe, and after being a part of this gym for a few years now, I truly believe anyone can do CrossFit. Oh also, I haven’t thrown my back out a single time since I started.

Although it is difficult, CrossFit has taught me that I am capable of overcoming anything. This skill and mindset transfers to all aspects of life. There are often workout plans that leave me shaking my head, but with an appropriate scale, I am able to complete them and then celebrate. CrossFit is about building yourself up with the support of a community. Cheering is encouraged and we all celebrate the success of others. I feel encouraged to try and fail and then to keep trying. I found peace, friendship, community, mental health tools and self-confidence. The gym is a place to let your mind rest. You simply can’t think if you can’t breathe. I keep coming back because fitness is a roller coaster, with ups and downs all the time. However, with consistency, being health strong supports everything else, such as hiking, rowing the boat, horseback riding, and running. It is a place to honor those that serve with your own hard work. I love CrossFit so much that I attended a 5:30 am class and delivered my baby at 10:00 am!
