CrossFit^® Northern Exposure

Fantastic experience: CFNX is hands down my favorite gym in Anchorage. I’ve worked out there for years. The gym itself is unbeatable…great space, great equipment and an amazing view of the mountains. The culture and people are tops, great coaches and you won’t find better owners. 5 star all day!

Fantastic experience: Jentry was a wonderful coach and made sure my first ever CrossFit class a success! I had fun and got a great workout. Everyone was so kind and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a fantastic experience at CFNX! The community here is incredibly welcoming and supportive, which makes every visit enjoyable. Coach Jentry’s excellent coaching and personalized attention have really helped me improve my fitness and stay motivated. The combination of great coaching and a positive community atmosphere makes CFNX a standout gym. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that truly cares about its members’ progress and well-being.

Fantastic experience: Emily was an amazing coach! I have only done CrossFit a handful of times, and the lift was a movement that was newer to me. Emily kept an eye on how I was doing while coaching the class and gave me the appropriate modifications so I could get a great workout and stay safe!

Fantastic experience: She was great! Instructions were clear and the warm up was thorough. My daughter and I dropped in. Jentry made us feel welcome as did the other athletes.

Fantastic experience: So awesome! Dropped in today while I’m in town for work. Bill was super friendly and everyone was truly so welcoming! Can’t wait to come again next time I’m in town!! Thank you CFNX!!

Fantastic experience: Jentry was a warm, inviting coach that blends encouragement with expertise. Had a great drop in. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never enjoyed going to the gym this much! Instructors never make me feel bad for not knowing how to do a movement; everyone is so supportive and encouraging. It’s only been about 6 weeks and I’m feeling stronger!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in on vacation, had an amazing time! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Great work out that left me feeling great and sore the next day! Bonus, as I ran I was looking at mountain, just beautiful.

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility, a welcoming coach and perfect for an out-of-town drop in!

Fantastic experience: Jentry was upbeat and ready to go for doing a 5:30a class which isn’t always 1 to 1. Great first interaction, made me feel welcome as well as a quick tour in where things were to be successful. During the workout I feel like this is where the coach side comes out. She was motivating us the entire way, helping us with knowing the time for the transition. I wasn’t being successful at the weight I was using and she jumped in to help. Would 100% recommend her as a coach.

Fantastic experience: Bill is an awesome coach! He is very encouraging and a great sense of humor. I like that he checks in with each individual athlete and asks how we’re doing and if there are any movements that we need to scale or modify.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in here a couple of days while visiting town. I loved the space and I loved the culture -- plenty of good equipment, lots of room inside and outside the gym, and cool, friendly, and welcoming community. The coaches were very thorough with the warm-ups, knowledgeable, and had positive energy. I'll be more than happy to come back here the next time I'm in town.

Fantastic experience: This box is so incredibly clean, great amount of room and so organized. Great drop-in open gym spot

Fantastic experience: Bill was very good at assessing my current skill level, teaching proper technique & very encouraging, great coach!

Fantastic experience: Lee really helped clean up my technique. He gave me some Points of performance that helped with my squat cleans and rowing. He was attentive to all the students and ran a very good class.

Fantastic experience: Bill always is available to help me when I need it. It is evident he knows the correct technique for each exercise and shares these with me. He is genuinely concerned that one is performing to there potential without harming their be body and provides encouragement during the whole time while working on out.

Fantastic experience: Coach Bill was and is always phenomenal! He is the kind of coach every CrossFit gym hopes to have. He brings a great balance of intensity, knowledge, and encouragement to every class. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced athlete, he knows how to meet you where you’re at and push you just enough to get better without risking injury. He’s always attentive to form and technique. What really sets him apart is how invested he is in everyone’s progress—he remembers your goals, celebrates your wins, and holds you accountable!

Fantastic experience: Experienced coaching-gave me pointers on improving my technique and provided alternate methods for improving my form when recovering from an injury.

Fantastic experience: A gym that makes showing up at 5:30 am fun enough and productive enough to keep waking up and going! Be less lazy, go work out. To help you be a better version of yourself, go work out here where coaches and group motivate you to show up and put out when your feeling lazy

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. Great coaches and great programming

Fantastic experience: My go to when I’m in town. I love the facility (clean, spacious, not a shed like my home facility but it’s hot where I live) and the staff is helpful.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic workout with Bill, really good fun. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: When I first came here, my legs were noodles and my arms string beans. I had a tough time lifting stuffed animals. After talking to Bill for 5 minutes, I knew this place would make a man out of me. He was gentle at first, making sure I wasn't too sore that I wouldn't have to spend a day or two on the couch, but after those first two weeks, I can confidently say I'm able to pick up planets, let alone a plush. Women notice me. I now make child support payments to several mothers and expecting mothers(worth it). Highly recommended crossfit gym.

Fantastic experience: This gym has literally transformed my life. After 3 months I can honestly say I crave my morning workout. The coach keeps me from injury, "you are strong but you don't have control, you need to earn more weight by showing me good form", she would say. And even when I come in with an injury from work or play we find a way to scale the workout so I still get my heart rate up and feel good about the effort.

Fantastic experience: The coaching, programming, workout areas, and equipment are all excellent. I highly recommend working out there if you live in the area or dropping in if you don’t.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience with the Wounded Warrior Project. The coaches were awesome and good atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: My CrossFit Northern Exposure experience began 4 months ago. I have been extremely impressed with the knowledge levels of all the staff and especially Emily. Being almost 70 and having a number of "issues" I was guided through the WODs in such a way as to not injure myself and I didn't. If I lived full time in Anchorage I would make my attendance here a "locked in" must do activity.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a week during our visit to Anchorage. Great facility and great people.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing place! We dropped in while on a trip and everyone was great. Coaches were super friendly as well as all the members. Facility is amazing and very clean. 10/10 suggest!

Fantastic experience: Had to share how appreciative I am of CFNX opening their doors to Turnagain CrossFit members after our roof collapse. Everyone has been extremely welcoming and have made it feel like a very comfortable 2nd home. As only having experienced the evening classes taught by Bill, it's some of the best cueing and coaching I've received. He spends time to understand any issues/injuries you're experiencing and works to tailor the WOD for you. THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. I dropped in and got the best coaching / instruction of my life from Emily (have been doing CF for 9 years). Extremely attentive with knowledge, poise, and passion. Additionally, the hospitality from all of the members was incredible. Plenty of equipment, and open essentially all hours of the day. 11/10!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I visited Alaska from Arizona and was looking for CrossFit gym to stay active while we’re on vacation. We decided to come visit and do a workout at Cf Northern Exposure and was not disappointed! Emily was our coach and she was soooo good at breaking down the form andgiving the right cues to make sure we’re doing movement right. We’re definitely coming back but we highly recommend this gym!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great people. Great vibe. A CF Turnagain member here and I can't express how grateful I am to be able to workout and build new relationships with such gracious and wonderful people, especially during this terribly tragic time. For CFNX to extend such a generous, unsolicited offer, is evidence to the benevolence of the owners who run this fine gym. All the coaches I've met have been so genuinely welcoming and kind since day one. Thank you personally and thank you from all members of the CF Turnagain community!

Fantastic experience: As a practicing Chiropractor it is of the utmost importance to me that exercise is performed safely and effectively. The coaching staff at CrossFit Northern Exposure is knowledgeable and experienced, helping to make workouts fun and productive. I have been to many gyms in Anchorage and decided that this one is the best. At 34 years old I feel I am in the best shape of my life! Thank you team at CrossFit Northern Exposure! If you are considering CrossFit or just want to live a healthier life please come and check out this excellent facility.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Amazing coaches. Dropped in for a week on our AK vacay and what a fantastic environment. Walked out of each class with enhanced skill knowledge.

Fantastic experience: If you’re thinking about trying CrossFit for the first time or just looking for a new CrossFit gym to join, I strongly recommend northern exposure. I had never lifted a weight in my life, knew very little about what I was doing, and was nervous about going. But the instructor, Bill made me feel so comfortable and was incredibly helpful. I think it’s important for instructors to not be intimating but helpful and provide encouragement which is exactly what Bill does. (You should definitely take a class with him!) Show up & you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: The coaches and the community at CFNX are wonderful. Everyone is always welcoming, makes sure you feel comfortable and confident with the movement, and challenges you just the right amount. Each coach is vey knowledgeable and will provide you with tips to get the best workout in. Personalized attention in a group setting

Fantastic experience: Dropped in from out of town for two workouts and what a great experience! Super welcoming and fantastic coaching: attentive, thorough, kind.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. We dropped in and were welcomed. We had a great workout with an awesome coach! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Great place to drop in, clean and welcome. Coaches very knowledgeable and provided good tips. Thank you,

Fantastic experience: Bill is an excellent coach that motivates you to be your best when you show up. This gym is small but has a great personality. Showers and lockers in modern locker room, water bottle refill station. Only one GHD currently, but descent rack system and standard equipment. If the class you are in has more than seven people (not often in evening), equipment night be shared/staggered during WOD and could effect time/scores to the competitive. Pet friendly, but please don't ruin that for everyone if you have a pet that can't behave.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Great coaching! Very friendly!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I signed up for classes at CrossFit Northern Exposure shortly after PCSing to Alaska, and it's been great so far. The programming is excellent, the coaches are knowledgeable, everyone is friendly, and the gym is always clean. The gym is both competitive and welcoming to new crossfitters. I would recommend this gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I love the community at CFNX. I have been a member since 2014 and can honestly say that we have a phenomenal group of folks. I am thankful for the friends I have made here that push me to be the best I can be.

Fantastic experience: You might be doing yourself a disservice if you don't check this place out. Second time trying CrossFit and because of this amazing staff I'm sticking with it. Bill is hands down one of the best trainers/coaches I've come across. He takes the time to teach, focuses on goals, encouraging and puts safety first. Even the regular members are lovely, very friendly and welcoming. Super happy I found my spot. Thank you CrossFit Nothern Exposures!

Fantastic experience: Best hour of my day.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for almost a year and loved it right from the beginning. The coaches are too notch and can work with anyone from beginners to experienced. The gym seems to attract great people too offering a really welcoming community.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member since it opened. I love the community, the coaches and the members. Everyone is so encouraging and positive. It’s fitness therapy and I make sure I get a daily dose of it.

Fantastic experience: Best coaching and programming in Alaska

Fantastic experience: First time visiting here, the workout was great and the staff and coaches were very friendly! Look forward to trying it again and getting into the classes.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in on a visit to Alaska for 20.4. Awesome place, great atmosphere, and they made me feel right at home.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, great coaches. Great for a beginner like me!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Great trainers and equipment. The community here is great!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about this place. I hosted a burpee challenge for my friend this year and so many people showed up to participate and help from CFNX!! It's not only a place to workout but the coaches and the members are always open to doing things outside the gym. Good people from different walks of life coming together for the same goal....that fitness BABY!!!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while in Anchorage for open gym. Owners are incredibly friendly/cool people. Perfect amount of space. You can tell the coaches and members have solid programming and a great atmosphere going. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Great people, awesome coachs and amazing workout routines

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms very friendly and they do a great work

Fantastic experience: We dropped in while visiting Anchorage and had a great experience! Tony was an excellent coach and very welcoming even though we were just dropping in for one class while we were in town. All of the facilities and equipment are top notch and all of the athletes that were in our class were also very welcoming and made us feel right at home. We will definitely be dropping in for another class next time we are in Alaska!

Fantastic experience: Saturday drop in was great. Friendly and inviting atmosphere. Nice class size and thorough functional movement instruction.

Fantastic experience: I started going here after a running injury stopped my normal fitness routine. It has now been over a year and I am stronger than I have ever been in my life. The environment is very welcoming and the coaches are professional. It has been a terrific experience.
