Hotova CrossFit is a workout group designed for all fitness levels. Whether you feel out of shape, have never stepped into a gym, or just want to be active and healthy, our program can help you. Our program is equally beneficial to someone who has a regular fitness routine but is just bored, looking to mix things up, or aiming to grow in strength, endurance and flexibility.

You will be in a supportive and friendly environment with people who have the same goal of becoming the best version of themselves, regardless of age or fitness level.

I highly recommend Hotova CrossFit! I joined after a friend convinced me to try it out and I'm so glad I did. The coaches are amazing and will help you achieve any goals you have. Everyone at the gym is so supportive and friendly. They also have different fitness challenges that members and non-members can participate in. You won't regret joining this gym!

I can't say that I'm excited to workout every morning, but I push myself to get to Hotova. The community and coaches there push me to do my best, and I always feel better after a workout. I've never worked out like I do at Hotova, and it's changed my lifestyle for the better. I've also made some great friends, so it's worth getting out of bed for!

I've been to a lot of CrossFit gyms across the country and I think this gym embodies everything that CrossFit is. The owners are helpful and welcoming, the members are committed, and the atmosphere is competitive. It's no wonder they're so successful. If you want to try it but you're a bit intimidated by what you've heard about CrossFit, just walk through the door. You won't regret it!

I found Hotova while I was on vacation and took three classes. The coaches were great, the members were great, and the box was great! I felt like I was a long time member and everyone was friendly and supportive. I don't know if I'll be back next summer, but if you're looking for a great place to work out and meet your goals, I recommend giving Dean and Giane a try. You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I started training at Hotova on December 31st 2013. 90 days later I am leaner by 16 lbs. and dropped from 23% BF to 18% BF. I have seen significant gains in my strength in all areas. I am just starting the Zone/Paleo diet plan to make even more significant gains in my fitness level. I enjoy the family atmosphere and great training Dean and Giani provide. I encourage you to break from your normal gym routine and see what Crossfit is all about!

Fantastic experience: So many great things to say about this place! Very welcoming by the trainers and the people who attend the classes. Every day at class is something new so I never get bored! They keep watch of your form to prevent injury and to make sure you are doing it correctly. I love that they check in on me and I don’t feel like another number added to their gym. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This gym is absolutely amazing! The coaches are absolutely wonderful people and make you feel comfortable even when you are struggling inside! This is my first time doing actual group workouts and I love it. I was terrified to join, but after the first class I was definitely hooked! I highly suggest to try this place and feel the love and support you need in a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Hotova CrossFit for years. I can honestly say it has been a wonderful experience! Dean and Giane are both excellent coaches. They teach the correct way to do each movement, every time they are done in a workout. This is so important in getting the most out of each workout and avoiding injury. They also take time to explain modifications for all levels. I always leave feeling better than I came in! The workouts are intense, worth the time and money invested. The atmosphere is positive and supportive. This is a great opportunity to get fit, strong and have fun doing it!

Fantastic experience: I have to say that from day 1 this was the most welcoming place. I wasn't sure what to expect never doing CrossFit before. I have to say that this is for ALL body types. The mixture of REAL people supporting each other in their journey is world class. Dean and his Wife are incredible. He has become a true friend who cares about my well being. If you are nervous to try, don't be. It changes your life.

Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit in 2013, but moved away from the BEST box ever in 2017. Well, so I thought! After a few trials at some other box's in the area and a longer than planned sabbatical I stumbled on Giane and Dean at Hotova. In meeting with Giane we not only talked about my goals, we discussed my diet and suggestion on slight adjustments to help move me in the direction I wanted to go. Giane and Dean have checked in on me, Giane has modified the WODs to push me but also to make sure I'm working towards my goals but that I also come back. The community is welcoming which was one of the important things for me as I made the choice to come back. I am beyond happy I have found my new home at Hotova!

Always feel like i have had a great workout, everyday is something challenging & different, you dont get bored with same workout & they are always there for you to help you, absolutely love it here & feel stronger! Dean & Giane are awesome!!

Lori Kasbohm 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I simply cannot say enough positive things about Dean & Giane and Hotova CrossFit. CrossFit was recommended to me by a friend. I had just turned 50 and decided that I needed to take my health and wellness seriously. I wasn't sure what CrossFit completely entailed. I thought it was only for elite fitness athletes. I initially met with Giane who talked over my fitness goals with me. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging and took the time to listen to me and answer all of my questions. I found that CrossFit encompasses all fitness levels. Dean and Giane work individually with their members to help tailor fit an exceptional workout. They really get to know you and it's obvious how much they care about their members and support each person in their fitness/health journey. I love the variety of the workouts. No two days are the same...which is a great fit for me as I get bored easily with workouts. The sense of community at Hotova is awesome. It feels like family to me. Everyone is very welcoming and encouraging and supportive. The workouts themselves are great. I feel challenged and motivated in a group setting. I have noticed more positive changes in my body and mind than any other type of workout I have tried. I simply cannot get enough. I highly highly recommend Hotova CrossFit!!

Fantastic experience: Hotova, Dean and Gianni have been great for me in many ways. I have been a member of many traditional gyms and community centers…so planning to change the plan and go to yet another gym had me asking questions. Why this one? What is different? Why will this one make me actually want to get in shape, but go beyond that….. I had heard of CrossFit before, and this gym specially from someone who attends. She explained the family culture, the personal accountability she found and the instructors absolute focus on a healthy lifestyle. So, I decided to give it a try. I just showed up one day. I had a goal of losing weight and doing something I’ve never done before (running a half marathon). Immediately, Dean and Gianni struck me as super fit and down to earth. Both made me feel comfortable within 1 session. I was nowhere ready for a full session with all the various activities planned for the day, so they directly worked with me while the rest of the class proceeded. Within a couple weeks, I was doing what the rest of the group was doing. Within 45 days I started seeing muscles I’ve never had. I’m now on month 7 and cannot believe the progress and transformation. I lost 40 pound of unwanted weight but put back around 8 pounds of lean muscle. I ran my first ever half marathon (I couldn’t even run 1 mile 8 months ago). I can now lift impressive weights and for the first time in decades, I feel good about my body. I was on blood pressure medicine, and within a couple months dropped the need for that as well, I am proud of the results and the effect on my body! Dean and Gianni inspire me and push me by their own results. I see them putting the work in. I see their results in competitions. I see their genuine smile as I walk into the gym. They inquire how I’m doing, setup meetings to get measurements and talk. And most importantly, they build a family environment that I love being a part of. I don’t just highly recommend this gym and their coaching, I also suggest that you too will be writing a review like this in 6 months if you give it a real try. Hit me up at the gym, you’ll see we are all just normal people who have developed a new passion. - Tim F.

Fantastic experience: Giane, Dean + Team are awesome! I went to Hotava CrossFit while visiting my family in Buffalo, MN and they were so friendly and welcoming. The workout was great - fun, measured and left me fatigued - everything you want in a good WOD. I would highly recommend trying them out if you’re in the Buffalo area and looking for functional fitness training, or if you’re visiting from out of town looking for a box to drop into. My husband and I will be back next time we visit!

Fantastic experience: This community is a must if you are looking for quality instruction, welcoming members, and professional communication from coaches. We will undoubtedly make Hotova CrossFit a necessary stop each time we are in Buffalo. Should we ever relocate here, we will 1000% look forward to joining this community! I am blown away by our experience and cannot wait to join another WOD here!

Chris Drennan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started going to Hotova in July 2019. I weighted 250+ and was extremely out of shape. Everyone from the other members to coaches to owners encouraged me right away. Most members are interested in trying to become healthier not CrossFit competition. Everyone is trying to help each other succeed. They helped me change my diet and made some suggestions for additional improvements. I try to get to work out 3 days per week. In March 2020 I weighed in under 220 and feel better than I did 20 years ago.

Steve Novacek 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about Hotova, the people and community environment they have created at their box. It is great to go to a workout facility where you’re not judged and you get to workout with people who have common health goals, whether that is to get stronger, be active, have better functional movement or to gain general wellness knowledge. The team at Hotova has always been willing to help and to make you the best version of yourself.

Michelle Kolb 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hotova was the best crossfit experience I have ever had. They not only met every request I had to the day they provided a fun and super clean environment. The coaches were so encouraging and helped me modify my work out due to my bodies personal needs. I am so excited to attend again. Love this gym and forever thankful to the owners.

Rick Lamb 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to attend here while I was staying nearby for a couple of weeks. As a L1 Trainer myself, I noticed things most people probably wouldn't and I was very impressed with the care and professionalism of the coaches. They do things right here and I would highly recommend this place for anyone in the area.

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I joined Crossfit Hotova while we lived there for the summer. We travel for work so we have experienced a lot of Crossfit gyms. Hotova hands down has been the best we have seen for coaching, work outs and community. Every class was challenging and exciting to be in. The coaches were amazing at getting the athletes prepared for the workouts and had you sweating the moment class started. Phenomenal Crossfit gym for experienced athletes and newbies. This gym really knows what they are doing and treats their members like family. Highly recommended.
