At Butchertown CrossFit in Louisville, KY, we focus on helping our clients build strong, healthy bodies. We work with each individual to create a personalized plan that will help them achieve their specific health and fitness goals.

I joined Butchertown Crossfit in late 2019 and it has completely changed my life. I tested out a couple different gyms in the area and from the first moment I walked into Butchertown, I knew I had found a home. The coaches spent time making sure I was working out safely and I felt as if they were equally invested in my progress. Butchertown has such a diverse group of members and they have always made me feel so welcome, as if I was part of a family. Their hours allow me to get in there at just about any time of day and when I show up, there is always someone there to greet me with encouraging words. Because of the support I received, and continue to receive at Butchertown Crossfit, I have been able to stay committed to my health and fitness goals, resulting in a weight loss of 50 pounds and countless other milestones. I have learned to do pull-ups, double unders, and rope climbs, to name a few. I have even been inspired to take the Crossfit Level 1 Trainer exam. Butchertown Crossfit will always be home to me and I recommend this place to anyone interested in improving their health and wellness.

I started CrossFit in 2016 at another gym and was really overwhelmed by everything. I was an athlete my whole life, but I'd never held a barbell and didn't know what wall balls, double unders, or muscle-ups were. I had to scale and modify almost every movement, but I stuck with it. Then, when Butchertown CrossFit opened, I signed up as a member before they even opened because of the coaches. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and relentlessly supportive. When I walked into the gym for the first time, I felt like I was home, and that feeling hasn't changed in the past two-plus years. This place is special—the community they have built here is filled with passion, encouragement, and purpose. It's a place where you can feel comfortable in your own skin and space. In my first year, everything I did improved, and I started reaching goals that I'd had since I started doing CrossFit, all thanks to the coaching I received. I still have a long way to go, but every day I move the dirt and I get better, thanks to the coaching and the community (which is really more like a family). Come workout with us!

” The end of 2018 was approaching quickly, which meant an end to my forties, something I had been dreading the past couple of years. The beginning of my fifties brought along other new beginnings in my life. I was finally beginning to get my diet under control, I was beginning to run longer distances again, and I was beginning to actually act on something I had talked about doing for a long while. I had done some light crossfit-ish type of classes in the past, something I enjoyed but never made a habit of doing. I was a regular gym goer, workouts I found online, or in various classes but never really found a niche. Just enough to keep everything in check, but honestly not really knowing what I was doing. I had popped into a couple of crossfit gyms when a friend suggested Butchertown Crossfit, brand new and close to my house. I stopped in for a visit, and decided to quit thinking about it and jump in. Everything being brand new, the location close to my house and greeted by a giant LOVE mural painted on the outside wall as I walked in the door were initial deciding factors.

The first 8 days of foundations classes were an eye opener. I learned the ropes, met the trainers, and got a feel for what I was getting myself into. My legs were sore for days, and my hands burned from attempting to climb a rope.

Fantastic experience: Went to visit Louisville for the first time and after some research found this CrossFit. I’ve never felt more welcome and in any other CrossFit around the world. This was an amazing experience from the amazing installations, to the warm and amazing coaches and most importantly the sense of community this CrossFit has to offer. I highly recommend visiting this CrossFit 10/10 ! And cannot wait to visit again

Adam Clark 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Basically the ideal gym. Great Crossfit class, coaching, and community. Great attitude toward open gym, strength training, and Olympic lifting. Plenty of space and great selection of equipment.

Tristan Fouard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Blown away at their quick response time and communication. Furthermore, I did not receive an automated response, but rather, and actual person who asked and learned about who I was, my experience in CrossFit, and what I was looking to get out of the class. Clean, fully outfitted, and welcoming gym community. I travel to Louisville regularly - dropped into multiple gyms - as a fellow Affiliate owner, this is the gym I would recommend.

Alex Adkins 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a phenomenal experience. If you’ve dropped into gyms, you know there is always some ambiguity of who I need to talk to and some awkwardness with new people. Neither of these were true when we dropped in on a Sunday of all days. We were greeted and shown were everything was, everyone said hello, and the class started promptly. This box not only does the big things well, but nails the hammer on all the small things: matching clips, logos everywhere, clean bathrooms and showers, excellent audio system, and an impeccably clean gym. Last but not least, the class workout was led well and it was a good, hard class. This is the box to drop into in Louisville.

Becky Fouard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I dropped in and had a wonderful experience! The coaches were welcoming, great at directions and setting up the movements for the day. The equipment and space was great, and the members were eager to greet us and give us suggestions on great places to eat while in town. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym home or a spot to drop in while traveling.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in while on vacation. Missy was my coach and she was amazing! Helpful and friendly, she helped correct my snatch form and now I feel confident to add on the weight. Ryan and Katie were welcoming and keep a spotless open box! Highly recommend if you’re in the area

Fantastic experience: Dropped in twice while in Louisville for a work conference last week, very welcoming, small class size, great facilities, and great coaching! I'd definitely drop by again in Louisville

Clint Morehead 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm originally from Louisville and travel back here to visit 2-3 times a year. I've been doing CrossFit for about a year, and after being encouraged to drop in by a number of friends who are members, I'm happy to now consider Butchertown CrossFit as my home gym away from home. The staff and the community are incredibly friendly and non-intimidating, the gym is clean, and if you want to drop in more than once like me, you can purchase a 5 or 10 visit punchcard for a very reasonable price. My first workout was with Ryan, who's an excellent trainer, and skillfully modified the workout for everyone at every skill level. And the class was small enough that I felt that everyone was able to get individualized coaching and attention. That, to me, is the epitome of an excellent CrossFit. I'm excited to do at least three more workouts at Butchertown CrossFit before I head back home and to drop in again many more times on future visits.

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I wanted to start 2020 off right by getting fit but I was worried crossfit would be too intense or "scary." I'm happy to say I was wrong! We just finished our foundation training today and are so excited to start taking regular classes. It helps having a partner to motivate you to keep going and other gym members/trainers enthusiastically root for you when the going gets tough. Shout out to the staff: each person we met was kind, patient, and encouraging. We get to go at our own pace but always leave feeling accomplished. Foundations: these courses helped me feel less intimidated. You're going to work up a sweat and challenge yourself here but the team makes sure you are doing so safely so you don't get hurt. They have a variety of options for training - even if you just want to go for open gym or a class, they're flexible and welcoming. I can't wait to get started with these guys!

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest CrossFit facilities I've been to! Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging on my first visit. I moved here from NY and was looking for a new CrossFit home...I am excited about this one!

Erika Oliver 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of 3 different CrossFit gyms in Louisville and I've visited a few different gyms while traveling. Butchertown CrossFit is by far the most outstanding and here's why: 1. THE PEOPLE- From the coaches to the members, everyone is friendly, encouraging, and uplifting. They recognize that everyone is at a different level of fitness. There are lifelong athletes who can RX all the WODs, there are moms and grandmother's that are proving just how strong they really are, there are students setting the standard for a healthy lifestyle, and there are people of all ages trying out CrossFit for the first time. The coaches go above and beyond on a regular basis. They know how to appropriately scale the workout while also challenging you. They also have a great understanding of body mechanics and provide great tips for improvement. It seems that the owners and coaches at BTCF are always looking for ways to grow and improve, which I really appreciate. I also love that everyone seems to truly enjoy being there. Sure, you have your friends that you might work out with more regularly, but there is no clique culture at BTCF. It is one big family that encourages one another and is happy to see one another improve and strengthen their weaknesses. 2. The Facility- BTCF has done an amazing job keeping the gym clean and organized. There is plenty of equipment and plenty of space. You are more than welcome to do accessory work after class and the coaches are great at providing suggestions. There is great space in the back of the gym where you can participate in the Grind Class or do work on your own. Plus they have a section of turf! The bathrooms and storage areas are also very spacious and clean! (Plus they keep extra ponytail holders in the women's bathroom for those days when you forget your own ).

Mint Cooper 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Butchertown is an amazing community. The program is great and always keeps you challenged in a good way. The coaches are knowledgeable and fun. The athletes are friendly and supportive -- they welcome you with great energy right away. The building is spacious, organized and clean and there are plenty of space for parking. Other than CrossFit program, the Grind class, which incorporates cardio, strength training and mobility with light weights/body weight for 45 minutes, is also provided. There is a shower area, free Wi-Fi, and a play room for the kids as well. We truly recommend this community and so happy to become part of it.

Adam Weaver 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did CrossFit 5 years ago at a gym with coaches that were very intense and though I did get results I didn’t appreciate the coaching style. After 6 months I stopped going. I did my research when I decided to get back into it knowing that the coaches and people make the gym.The team at Butchertown is extremely knowledgeable and caring yet driven. Whether your new to CrossFit or experienced this is the one to join.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the atmosphere of this gym! The members are fun, the coaches are great and the equipment is top notch! It definitely makes working out an enjoyable process!

Tyler Syata 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Traveling can be stressful if you follow individual programming and having a gym that will allow you the freedom to drop in and do open gym at basically any hour of the day is a huge relief! Butchertown not only fit that bill, but also is an amazing facility with great equipment, its clean, tidy, everything is very professional and the coaches and owner are as well. I can't say enough good things about it and I wish I could find one in every city I traveled to.

Brandon Alphin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! The coaches are fantastic. One thing I noted when there is how clean the gym was. A lot of CrossFit gyms are notorious for being dirty, not BTCF! Best in Louisville.

Thank you for letting me try out you gym! It’s amazing!

Greg Stierle 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and wonderfully encouraging members and coaches! I dropped in to Butchertown this past Wednesday to see a friend who recently joined and felt truly welcomed as soon as I walked inside. Coach Bill led the noon class and always had helpful advice and cues to help you throughout. The box is brand new with a custom rig, kid's playroom and absolutely spotless. I would highly recommend the box to anyone coming through or moving Louisville!
