Thousand Lakes Fitness

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while in town for work. Great coaches and all the equipment you'd expect at a CF gym, even an outdoor rig. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym around! The facility and equipment is top notch, the coaches are all very knowledgeable and engaging, and the workout programming is excellent. Above all, the sense of community and welcoming attitude of each and every member is what makes this place so special. Before coming to TLF, working out often felt like a monotonous obligation. Now, going to the gym has become a daily highlight; I get legitimately distressed when I'm unable to make it in. I can't commend the owners, Mat and Bethany, enough for doing such a fantastic job and positively impacting the lives of so many people.

Fantastic experience: A great business run by passionate leaders! Thanks for the experience TLF!

Fantastic experience: I joined Thousand Lakes Fitness (formerly CrossFit Thousand Lakes) shortly after it opened. I had always wanted to try CrossFit, and finally there was one in my neck of the woods. I’m a runner, and I find that CrossFit and running complement each other very well. After less than a year of CrossFit, I ran a 25K trail race over 30 minutes faster than the year before! As an older athlete, I scale most of the workouts to avoid injury while still challenging myself. And the workouts are never boring as they change daily. The owners, Mat & Bethany Larson, are fantastic as are all of the coaches. If you’ve ever been curious about CrossFit or just need to change up your routine, I highly recommend this place. The gym is clean and the equipment is well maintained. Saturdays are the best as we usually do partner workouts. Love this place and all of the friends I’ve made there.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I started going to Thousand Lakes to get my legs into shape for a Fall elk hunting trip. Matt, Bethany and all the coaches have been nothing short of excellent. If you want to improve your health and have fun doing it, this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I joined Thousand Lakes Fitness to get back into a fitness routine. I immediately felt welcomed by the owners, Mat and Bethany and the entire community. The group of coaches really know what they are talking about and are always full of encouragement. The community is hands down the best I have been part of and I have been to a few! The variety of programming, which can be modified for any skill level, keeps me coming back day after day. The facility is always clean and the equipment is top of the line. I can not say enough good things about TLF and would recommend it to anyone of any ability!

Fantastic experience: After a couple of children and only running for several years, my strength (especially my core) was overall fairly weak. A few of my running pals raved about this gym but I was scared and intimidated by the term "CrossFit". I reached out to the owner who encouraged me to try a class and I'm so glad I did! I joined immediately and after only 3 months, I've already noticed significant improvement in my overall strength and endurance. I was super impressed by the clean facility, equipment, and positive upbeat vibe from the coaches and members. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! You get so much more than a traditional gym -- varied workouts scaled to anyone's ability, phenomenal coaching, and priceless membership to a motivating, fun community!

Fantastic experience: T.L.F. it is more than being a member you are like part of a family in the community, the owners, coaches, and members always motivate you with their smiles and push you to the next level. for me it has been the best gym

Fantastic experience: When I moved to the area I was yet again in search of a new CF gym (my 3rd in a year)…the coaches, atmosphere and other members at Thousand Lakes made it the best experience! I have since moved away and I am still connected to many of them and I go back as often as I can. Mat and Bethany are top notch coaches and humans and I’m so grateful for them!

Fantastic experience: I have been and worked out at many CrossFit gyms and TLF is the best. The community of people that workout here are welcoming, non judgmental and encouraging. The programming, coaches and owners are exceptional when it comes to instilling proper technique and all around physical health for the members.

Fantastic experience: The owners, Mat and Bethany, are running an awesome box in Forest Lake. Both were incredibly welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. The box itself is clean, up to date, and spacious. Members were all very welcoming and they have programming for every level of athlete with knowledgeable and resourceful coaches. If you’re coming in from out of town or someone local looking to start your fitness journey, drop in to Thousand Lakes Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I've only been an official member for a short while, but have known owners Bethany and Mat for about a year now. I've tried out or been a part of a handful of other CF gyms (let alone almost every 24 hour/club gym) and this one is special. The programming is well thought out and the priming movements before the workout are excellent. On top of all that, Bethany, Mat and the rest of the coaches make this gym a great community to be a part of. There is truly something for everyone - whether you're looking to improve your skills, have accountability, be in a positive environment, get stronger, stay healthy, etc. PBs (personal bests) go beyond the reps and pounds here.

The coaches are friendly, welcoming, and constantly look for ways to help members improve. This community ROCKS!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Value I’m not sure what I value & enjoy most, the programming or the community?! Big time work outs, small town feel. Highest quality coaching I have had. There are options, challenges and encouragement for all activity and ability levels! I could not give a stronger recommendation!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym the trainers are personable and push you to be the best that you can be. I am so happy I found this place and the people that own it and work out there.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Awesome gym! Nice facility and the people and coaching were great; dropped in to workout with a friend and I’m sure I’ll be back.

Fantastic experience: Matt and Beth are great owners! This is why: 1, The gym is always clean and orderly, Including the childrens play area and bathroom. 2. The equipment is well maintained. Everything functions as it should. 3, Newer equipment is purchased on a regular basis. 4. The training is professional. Matt and Beth know how to train individuals at all fitness levels. This also includes their supporting staff. 5. Work out programming is top notch. Programming is available for all fitness levels. 6. Matt, Beth and the supporting staff will spend "extra time" happily answering questions or give extra help. The key word being "happily". In summary I couldn't recommend Thousand Lakes Fitness more. Great place, love it!!

Fantastic experience: I love dropping in at different boxes! This one stood out for me. Enrolling was easy. The gym was very nice! Clean and top notch equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great community. All levels of fitness are waiting for you to join in. You get out of it what you put into it. People here don't judge. You will find that you are your hardest critic.

Fantastic experience: I joined this fitness center because I am a visual learner and I didn't feel like I was doing enough different movements at other places. The coaches are helpful and great at demonstrating so you know you are doing it right and offer scaling options/suggestions. I am able to bring my child with me because they have a gated play area. This is awesome because I can attend more classes! I started right about the time the pandemic forced fitness centers to close. They offered to loan out equipment to their members and had ZOOM workouts. If they hadn't done all that, I wouldn't have kept working out until when they were allowed to reopen. Just an amazing atmosphere with awesome coaches and members. Love the workout music too!

Fantastic experience: One of my kids had a hockey tournament in town so I dropped in for a quick workout in between games. Great gym! Lots of room, new equipment, Rigs, cardio equipment, barbells, ropes, and basically anything a person would want to use. Matt, Bethany and Jacob were all working with people. You can tell they really care about the customers and clients. They were expressly approachable, very engaged, very knowledgeable, and most important VERY FRIENDLY! Look forward to future visits.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I started out extremely out of shape and now I'm only a little out of shape. This place is my second home, I love the people and the atmosphere and the working out.

Fantastic experience: Started CrossFit a little over a year ago.

Fantastic experience: Awesome ownership leadership and experience !! If your looking for the best around then look no further. Great community thats cool and cares .

Fantastic experience: This CrossFit community is great. The owner understands that people who work out here are looking more for functional fitness and less for trying to be a CrossFit games competitor. Super friendly members and convenient class times. Highly recommend trying this gym out if you are looking to get in the best shape of your life and have fun doing it!

Fantastic experience: The coaches and the CFTL community have helped push me daily to be my best both physically and mentally. Great gym-Great people. Something you want to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: Show up and get the best workout you've had in years! Great people.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Thousand Lakes is my home. I have had the opportunity to be a guest at other gyms and this one is where I know I belong. The coaches work hard to get to know each person who comes to the gym and helps them get through their own struggles. For me it is old injuries from years of competitive ball. I struggle and Crossfit has allowed me to strengthen my muscles to do more than I expected. This has been better for me than PT has been. I love the people that I get to hang with every week and when you miss a day or two, people come looking for you. Crossfit used to intimidate me but now I would never want to go to any other kind of gym.

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a change from the global gyms here it is! Great equipment, awesome coaches and of course great people to workout with.
