Fantastic experience: What comes to mind when I think about my experience at Kiowa fitness is top notch facilities, excellent coaching, convenient location and a welcoming environment. But what sets Kiowa apart is the excellent community they’ve cultivated. A community that’s built on trust, encouragement and lack of judgement. It’s a welcoming community for all fitness and skill levels and the various coaches and programs allow each athlete to pursue their goals while developing at their own pace with support throughout the process.

Fantastic experience: Kiowa Fitness is a unique gym and community. At first thought, I was so nervous to try this type of workout. I don’t think I ever would have considered it if the owner Shane had not followed up with me as much as he did. He encouraged to give it a shot and I could not be more glad I did. I worked with a personal trainer for the first time ever, which I recommend every one do at least once! And then jumped into group classes and really enjoyed it! There are all types of people at Kiowa and I felt very welcomed. I felt like I could start with what was comfortable to me and I’m really excited to see myself grow. If you’re curious, give it a shot!!

Fantastic experience: Great space. If you are looking for weight lifting, functional fitness, nutrition help, they have the resources here. Have helped me considerably since joining earlier this year. Not only do they do classes but also have 24 access which is nice when my schedule doesn't allow me to hop in a class.

Fantastic experience: It's a great gym with a great community of members. The gym works hard to keep things clean. The coaches are great and knowledgeable, overall a great place to workout and get fit!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Kiowa isn’t just a gym, it’s a community filled with amazing people. The energy is always positive and you will leave feeling upbeat.

Great Coaches, all the people that come to each class is friendly , and encouraging. I personally wish I would have joined a long time ago! Come join us .

Fantastic experience: Veteran owned box. Everyone is great, even the other gym members. I felt at home during my first WOD.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great coaching, amazing community.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to CrossFit Kiowa for almost 6 months now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon! I appreciated the one-on-one sessions in the beginning which helped me feel more comfortable with beginning CrossFit. The coaches are all excellent, encouraging, and knowledgable. I feel so much stronger and supported in my fitness than I did 6 months ago!

Fantastic experience: After a life of running, yoga, gyms, and HIIT style workouts, it was Crossfit Kiowa that elevated my fitness. I'm stronger, faster and more agile. My strength and endurance carry over to my work and personal life. I attribute all of this to Crossfit. The coaching is always based on personal skill level and needs. Coaches not only push you to become a strong version of yourself but help you scale workouts based on personal needs, injuries, and conditions. The class schedule is flexible. The facility clean, equipment top-of-the-line. The atmosphere, positive and encouraging. Definitely worth the money.

Fantastic experience: My personal training with Shane has allowed me to work one-on-one with Shane doing workouts he has created for me. During my training I am able to work out with minimal distractions. Shane has been able to fine tune my movements so that I can perform at my highest levels. All of the coaches at CrossFit Kiowa know me and know what I’m capable of and push me to be a better athlete.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 would do it again! I walked in a little apprehensive and almost 1 year later I'm still motivated to go every day I can. The coaches and community together, make this place a success prone environment where people can be healthy, positive, and challenged equally. Group workouts as well as availability of equipment at anytime make for a flexible yet accountable schedule for everyone. I highly suggest walking in ;)

Fantastic experience: Super positive environment, has something for everyone. Awesome little joint

Fantastic experience: I've loved being a member of the CrossFit Kiowa community! I joined over a year ago and I have felt so welcome! Shane and the other coaches really push me every time I go! I feel so much stronger and more confident in what my body is capable of.

Fantastic experience: Best place around for CrossFit! The people are amazing and the workouts are even better!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly, knowledgeable members and instructors. I would highly recommend anyone with an interest in fitness to call or email Crossfit Kiowa, as the staff will happily help you to plan and reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Amazing community with great coaches. Everyone always makes you feel welcomed.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching and friendly atmosphere. I’ve been with the CFK family for about 6 months and would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Kiowa is an awesome place! The coaches at CFK provide outstanding training each and every class no matter your fitness level. I have been a member since they opened and at 45 I am in the best shape of my life. If you choose to join, just know you will not only be joining a great Crossfit box but an incredible community of people that will encourage and support you. I have worked out at other boxes around the country and none compair to CFK. Stop in and give them a try, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: My mother-in-law and I joined 2.5 years ago, and now the whole family goes! 16 of us regularly work out at Crossfit Kiowa. It is so great that I can get fit while my kids are in a class right next to me learning the importance of basic fitness! If your thinking about trying Crossfit, do it!! It doesn’t matter your current fitness level, (I had just had my 4th baby when I started) there is truly something for everyone. Shane Rider and the other coaches are so helpful and encouraging, Crossfit Kiowa will not disappoint!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym experience I’ve ever had! I joined the box a little over a year ago and I have felt supported, encouraged and included by the community of Crossfit Kiowa the entire journey. I started because I wanted to feel better and get a bit more fit. Little did I know that at over 50 years of age I would be making new friends, working out with my kids and challenging myself to try new things that I never could have imagined. With the great coaching and fantastic comradre I am accomplishing goals I’ve set for myself that I never dreamed I would be able to do at this stage of my life! I highly recommend Shane Rider and Crossfit Kiowa to everyone. I know if I just show up I can trust the coaches and the process to help me be a better version of myself. Very clean, plenty of space and everything you need to start improving!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CrossFit Kiowa for two and a half years now and I absolutely love it! The community here is amazing and the Coaches will do anything to help you reach your goals. CrossFit has helped me tremendously on my journey to becoming a professional Firefighter and staying in shape! I highly recommend Kiowa to anyone looking to take on the challenge and get in shape!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start? Oh how I LOVE this place, my happy place, my addiction! I had always wanted to try CrossFit, and when I heard it came to Independence 3 years ago, I was stoked! I tried it and instantly was hooked! What I love is that the workouts are different every day. We have an awesome group of people that suffer through workouts together and succeed together! We are a community that helps each other push past the pain and achieve things we never thought possible. Every workout is scalable and everyone is welcome! Come give it a try, you will be so glad you did! Jayme Olafson

Fantastic experience: The coaching and community are like no other place I have been to. Lots of fun and laughter. Have been here for over a year and lost 25 pounds and 10% body fat. People supporting you whether you are lifting 5 lbs or 300 lbs. Great coaches who are really knowledgable about the techniques and can easily adapt if you have injuries or different levels. This is a place full of people supporting people.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for almost three years. Kiowa has been a great place to get into better shape as well as meet a lot of great people. Our kids are involved with kids crossfit in the evenings and love it too. It’s great to be able to work out at the same time as the kids that’s a added bonus. I highly recommended it to all skill levels from elite athlete to someone who hasn’t been to a gym in years.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Kiowa is more than a gym! When I first started at CFK I didn’t realize that what I needed more than anything was a sense of community, which is what CFK is all about. It didn’t matter that I had never tried crossfit before, because the atmosphere was, and continues to be, encouraging and nonjudgmental. The coaches are always willing to help and teach, and your classmates want you to see you succeed just as badly as you do! No matter your fitness level, I highly recommend CFK. There is no better feeling than working out alongside people that actually care about you!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about Crossfit Kiowa. I was a little nervous to try something new; however that changed as soon as I walked in the door. I felt encouraged, and supported and I still feel that way every time I show up for a work out. The workouts are scaled to any and all fitness levels, the coaches are engaging and take the time to give you one-on-one tips, and the expanding gym itself is full of people having fun and getting stronger..faster.. and better in the process. I LOVE being a part of this community, and encourage anyone reading this to drop by and check it out. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member here for a little over a year now and can honestly say that joining CFK was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my fitness. Being a career Firefighter/Paramedic, fitness is an extremely important life aspect of mine. I quickly realized areas in my fitness that I was lacking in and have since made drastic improvements. Shane is an excellent coach that is very skilled in knowing when to tone back difficulty and focus on technique, or increase difficulty to challenge yourself. With the smaller class sizes there is a better coach to athlete ratio, giving you more personalized training than larger boxes offer. With the smaller class sizes also comes a sense of community and strong friendships you’ll establish in your time here. CFK is constantly contributing to efforts that give back to and improve the community. There is also so much more offered here as well other than just the daily fitness classes (skill coaching, strength training, personalized sessions, emphasis on mobility, etc.) I highly recommend at least coming and trying out a day here, you won’t be disappointed. This place can truly help you become the strongest/healthiest version of yourself.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to other CrossFit gyms and CrossFit Kiowa is by FAR the best! It is a clean wholesome gym to workout at. Shane Rider (owner) is personally invested in creating the best possible atmosphere where people of any level can work out. Overall the place is super clean, and the bathrooms are spotless (which is really important to me). It has that small town feel where everyone is super kind, are encouraging, and supportive to help you improve. I even asked for wet wipes in the bathroom and Shane made it happen. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: My kids attend a CrossFit class at Kiowa. I love that it teaches discipline and challenges them to push themselves past their limits.

Fantastic experience: Don't be afraid of being a beginner at CrossFit Kiowa in Independence OR! I started working out at CrossFit Kiowa about two months ago with no weightlifting experience or any gym experience at all. The workouts are tough and will challenge you, but this is the place to be if you want to feel supported and proud of the progress you make week to week. The coach, Shane Rider, will make sure you are doing the exercises using proper technique and is a great motivator. Joining this box is really one of the best decisions I have made and I feel a sense of accomplishment after each workout. If you have considered joining any type of gym, I would tell you give CrossFit Kiowa a try.
