CrossFit^® AMRAP

Fantastic experience: If you are considering CrossFit this is the place to learn. If you are considering switching boxes this is a great place to work out. AMRAP is an awesome community with great coaches and plenty of equipment and space. This is the place to get your feet wet with CrossFit. Matt's programming is effective and comprehensive. The community is really one of the best I have experienced. Always welcoming, always supportive and always fun.

Fantastic experience: I am so lucky to have found crossfit AMRAP. I never thought I could find such a fun and amazing place to workout, the coaches are amazing, they are super down to earth and are always there to push you to the next level and most importantly, they really care about form and us not getting injured. I normally go to the 5:30am class (Dawn Patrol). I still remember the first day at Dawn Patrol, I felt so intimidated but everyone was so welcoming, it took me about a month or 2 to feel completely comfortable and now I have so many friends and some of them who I even consider my best friends. I truly love this place and look forward to go to it every morning!!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Amrap provides a challenging workout that changes on a daily basis. The great thing about crossfit is that it is scalable... meaning everyone can do it and I mean EVERYONE! This gym caters to all types. The coaches are knowledgeable and willing to help. The members are friendly, welcoming, and willing to motivate when needed. Classes are held in a group setting which help motivate and challenge.I have been to multiple crossfit gyms throughout the country and I can honestly say that this is one of the nicest and most well run facilities out there.

Fantastic experience: What an excellent place and positive environment. The highest caliber of personal/semi personal athletic training available. I wish I would have started earlier, but so happy I discovered this place!

Fantastic experience: I decided to try Crossfit AMRAP some time ago to improve my fitness to help me better sustain an active lifestyle outside the gym. At 51, I belong to the group that Crossfit kindly refers to as “Masters”. When I initially walked into AMRAP, it seemed daunting to see what their members were doing as part of their ordinary day. As soon as I was introduced, reality proved quite the opposite. The coaches and members were welcoming and encouraging. There was no judgment, but a sense of ambition. The Coaches at AMRAP provide the training, scaling, and motivation for challenging, level competition whether you are new, experienced, sixteen, or sixty. I have been to other boxes, and Crossfit does have many great affiliates, but nothing I have experienced compares to the engaging and encouraging character that AMRAP and their community provides for me. I would like to share a story from my early months. In my first fall at AMRAP, Coach Brit took away “Old Card” (my excuses for not working hard towards the progress I should) promising to return it at Christmas if I wanted it. Coach Brit was spot on, knowing that I would not need it by then. No, I don’t need it. I steadily progressed because of the competition and support from other members, AMRAP’s skills development, drive for injury prevention, and Coaching. The AMRAP community, starting with Matt and Brittany, simply provides the supportive environment to help you get a little better every day. I looked back at my log today to find that I reached personal records for every lift within the past 12 months, let me re-use that “old card” for a moment, as a Master. Since joining Crossfit AMRAP, I have experienced a methodical transformation. These changes include improvements to my nutrition, strength, mobility, endurance, metabolism, composition, and outlook on what I can accomplish. The positives come from hard work and commitment. Individuals still put in that work. With the support of the AMRAP coaches and community the challenges are welcomed and encouraged. For me, AMRAP continues to provide the stage to simply be better at life.

Fantastic experience: My experience at CrossFit AMRAP has been nothing short of awesome! The coaches are knowledgable, personable, and experienced. They take the time to help refine movements, improve form, and motivate you to push yourself beyond what you thought possible. There are a number of opportunities to improve fitness and personal goals at CrossFit AMRAP and my daughter loves the CrossFit kids program provided by Brit on Thursday nights too. The community of people at CrossFit AMRAP is welcoming and just plain fun. I highly recommend CrossFit AMRAP if you're looking for a new and challenging way to get fit, healthy, and have fun!

Fantastic experience: Matt and Brit run a great operation here. I know a number of individuals who swear by CROSSFIT AMRAP workouts and the overall health regimen. they're in the best shape of their lives and their workouts have become not only a means of improving their health but also their social lives (one friend met his wife at their gym).

Fantastic experience: Heard about CrossFit online and saw that CrossFit AMRAP was close by so I decided to go to a free Saturday workout. Matt and Britt were genuine, kind, and open from the very beginning and they make sure that the atmosphere at the gym is the same way. Now I'm in the best shape of my life.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about CrossfitAMRAP. I felt like a family member from the moment I took my first free class, through my foundations graduation, and through the time I spent as a member. If I could fit this into my budget and schedule I would be back here tomorrow. I have never felt so healthy, loved, and part of a community as I did when I was regularly attending classes at AMRAP. Matt and Brittany are still interested in my health and training and I haven't been a member for over a year (due to work schedule and my AMRAP money going to kids activities). I can promise you that as soon as I am able to squeeze this into my budget I will be back there looking to PR my snatch balance (I get the snatch but not the balance) and my OHS

Fantastic experience: Here’s why you should NOT join CrossFit Amrap. If you’re happy remaining the same and not improving your overall health while having a great time within a great community, CrossFit Amrap is probably not for you. If you’re happy at your local “Big Box Gym”, doing the same boring workouts weeks after weeks with little to no improvements, CrossFit Amrap is probably not for you. If you like belonging to a gym where they sign you up your first day and point you in the direction to all the confusing equipment and hope you know what you’re doing, CrossFit Amrap is probably not for you. Why you SHOULD join CrossFit Amrap. Unlike your typical fitness centers/gyms, each class lasts roughly about an hour that is led by one of its many certified coaches. Between Matt & Brit (coaches & owners), they have over a decade of CrossFit coaching experience. Their ability to coach a wide range of levels from beginners to advanced athletes, their attention to detail on skill work and their willingness to offer additional help outside of class to make you a better you is what separates CrossFit Amrap from other gyms. These are a few reasons why I have been coming to CrossFit Amrap for over 2.5 years and why I have chosen this gym as opposed to the 3 other Crossfit gyms & numerous “Big Box Gyms” that are closer to my house. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, you’ll be happy you did!!!

Fantastic experience: Ive been a regular member of Crossfit AMRAP for 2 years and have never been bored or uninspired to work hard and gain new skills and strength. The coaches are very helpful and proactive with pointers to help improve form and prevent injury. The members are dedicated to crossfit and a healthy lifestyle which keeps me coming back for more. Ive been a "workout" person all my life and a competitive athlete and crossfit has made me more balanced in terms of flexibility, skills and strength. In many ways im more "fit" at 50 than I was as 30. I'd highly recommend AMRAP to anyone who is serious about real fitness and is willing to work for it.

Fantastic experience: I started my CrossFit AMRAP journey 2 years ago. In March 2013, I was a 40+ out of shape smoker, who was lifting weights at the gym, but it was stale and not really working. I was 218lbs, I couldn’t run a quarter mile, and had never done an Olympic lift in my life. I made my New Year’s resolution in 2013 to quit smoking and get back in shape. I had heard of CrossFit, but all I knew was ‘those people are crazy’ and ‘you have to be in really good shape to do that.’ So, being determined to achieve my resolution, I went to the Saturday Free class, how bad could it be? I was met at the door with a big smile by one of the coaches – Everyone, including the members, is very friendly and welcoming. I went home after the first day and nearly vomited. Then slept for 2 hours, on the floor – this was going to take commitment, this is what I needed. Foundations is a (M,W,F) 2 week course where you learn all the basics: including safety, proper scaling of weight, proper form, and again, safety. My impression: These people aren’t crazy – this is a very controlled environment where you scale down the weight until your form and strength catch up with your ego. Yes, I wanted to show everyone I could Deadlift a Buick, but that really isn’t a good idea. I went 3 days a week for the first 5 months, scaling the workouts to what I could safely lift. By month 6, I had quit smoking, started to Rx the WODs, go 5-6 days per week, and lost 25lbs. Yes, I quit smoking and lost 25lbs due to CrossFit and personal determination. One year into CrossFit, I competed in my first CrossFit Open and ranked 242 in the North Central Region 40-45 Year-old Men’s division. Two years into CrossFit, I met my fiancée, I can run 2 miles, and while I still don’t Deadlift a Buick, a 385lb PR isn’t bad. I make and achieve goals with help from the coaches and other members. I am looking forward to the 2015 CrossFit Open. Come Be Awesome. William 'Brent' Meyer

Fantastic experience: It's an easy choice. Getting in good shape demands partners in crime and competition to maintain motivation. AMRAP is fortunate enough to have a deep community with athletes of all levels. If you desire a change from traditional Globo gym, then sign up for a free class or foundations. Working out in an encouraging environment will keep you coming back. Plus, the numerous get-togethers and competitions keep up the excitement. As a seasoned triathlete I have learned becoming truly fit requires more than a strong motor. Most of us fail to consistently work out our core. After my first year of drinking the kool-aid I finally felt strong. I am now over three years deep in Crossfit. I will never go back to LSD or a monotonous style of training. Give it a shot!

Fantastic experience: I've belonged to several different gyms. This one has changed my life by changing how I think about fitness and health, making workouts always intense, fun, and empowering, and teaching me skills that I never knew I wanted to build. The coaches and the community are like no other. Unpretentious, friendly, but also serious about making you better with each visit... Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: I love Crossfit AMRAP! As a nurse with zero prior athletic experience, I walked into AMRAP on my first day wondering what on earth I'd gotten myself into. But I immediately felt welcomed & at home. The gym culture is positive & supportive, and even the seasoned athletes are down-to-earth and encouraging. I can't say enough about how fantastic the coaches are-- they have pushed me to grow in ways I honestly never thought I would. My initial concerns about the safety of high-intensity workouts were put to rest when I saw how the coaches take the time to ensure that each person is using good body mechanics, optimizing their form, & being safe first & foremost throughout every class. Awesome community... I'm so happy I found AMRAP!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit always scared me when my friend always used to talk about it. I always thought he was crazy! That was until in May of 2014, I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I thought to myself How? how could this have happened? I worked out at the gym every day! But in reality, I set my nutrition on the back burner and never gave it a second thought. So when I got diagnosed, I knew I had to do something radical. So I joined Crossfit! Within 3 days, my blood sugar had dropped from 310 (which is where it was at when I was diagnosed) back down to 110 (which is normal). Within a month I was off of one of my diabetes medication. Within 3 months I was no longer considered a diabetic! Now granted I also did severely change by diet but the people at the gym helped me learn what to eat. I thought what I knew was healthy but I was completely wrong and everyone there has helped me live a better more natural life. Since I have joined I have also lost over 50 lbs as well as off of all my depression medication and will be getting off metphormin (blood sugar regulator) this summer. I owe some much to Matt, Brittney, Stacy, Nate, Rachel, Jim, Dave,Hank, and Emily. They push me to be better every day and to help me achieve my bodies full potential. I sincerely look up to these people as well as the other athletes at the gym because the mindset that goes along with Crossfit is to achieve the over all best person you can be and everyone there has achieved greatness. This pushes me in the hope that one day I can achieve the level of greatness I see everyone else achieving on a regular basis. They are honestly like a second family to me.

Fantastic experience: I have been a visitor from out of town for about 8 years, and when I finally moved back to the area, I knew without question this was the gym where I wanted to be. Every single time I arrive, all of the members and coaches are so friendly, engaging, and genuinely happy to have you there. This gym embodies what it is like to be a part of a community. Not only are they active in the gym, but they are incredibly active and involved in the surrounding community. You look forward to going to the gym every single day and spending your time with everyone there, which then leads to that commitment and accountability so many are looking for in a gym, which in turn produces incredible results. Hands down the best money you could spend when looking for a gym, a community, and a group of people who want nothing more than for you to be the best version of yourself every single day.
