CrossFit Fortem

CrossFit Fortem is THE best gym. It all starts with the owners, Josh and Jackie, who are high-character people and extremely knowledgeable about fitness and the CrossFit methodology. Josh, Jackie, and the amazing coaches truly care about their members and work hard to cultivate a welcoming, encouraging, motivating, and supportive environment. The community at the gym is like none other, making working out fun and something to look forward to. I would highly recommend CrossFit Fortem if you want to achieve your fitness goals, or even if you just want to move and be healthy.

I've had such a good experience at CrossFit Fortem as a woman working out postpartum. The coaches are incredible at adjusting the programming to support my specific needs and goals. They've helped me feel strong and confident as I transition back into fitness. The community and friendships I’ve made here are the real draws for me. It makes it so much easier to stay motivated when you have people that know and support you at a gym. The emphasis on long term health and fitness, combined with the knowledgeable coaching, has made a big difference in my journey. Completely recommend CrossFit Fortem to anyone looking for a supportive and effective place to work out.

Dropped in Saturday at 8 am class.

Fee $20: fair

Good size class. Able to partner up with a gentleman name Mason, who was a good athlete. Everyone was motivated. Coach did a great job warming us up for the class.

Fun program that day: 30 mins Wod partner, Bike, Run, and pushups to pull up.

Would come again.

Really great community at this gym which makes working out fun and wanting to come back for more. Was scared of all the hard lifting movements but with great coaches was able to get the form down and started seeing progress. I can never go to another gym again after this experience! Overall 10/10

CrossFit Fortem has been a game-changer for me! It’s not just about getting fit; it’s about pushing your own mental limit. The atmosphere is always positive, and the coaches are super supportive. But what I love most is the sense of community. Whether we’re sweating through a tough workout or just hanging out after class, there’s always a feeling of camaraderie and support. I’m so grateful for this place and all the awesome people I’ve met here!

This gym gets me in the door everyday not just because I enjoy the workouts and coaching. I also enjoy the people and the atmosphere. If you want to plug into a supportive, motivating group of strong individuals then this gym is your place.

I’ve been going to this gym for a few years and love it. The coaches are knowledgeable and give plenty of instruction and tips to improve form and technique. I love how the coaches will help you scale the workouts to your needs. The community is wonderful, kind and fun to work out with. We push each other and encourage each other. I count some of the members in class as true friends. My kids work out here during camps and love learning how to improve their fitness as a family. Young or getting older this is a great gym to join and be surrounded with great people.

This is an incredible gym with an amazing community, knowledgeable coaches, and supportive owners! You will always be greeted with a smile here, and they are always encouraging you to reach your fitness goals!

Best CrossFit Community in the world!
Great coaches and great members!
Josh and Jackie provide the individualized attention and care that all the members need! They not only care about the fitness goals of their members but personal goals of their members as well!

All of the coaches (Aidan, Joyce, Cameron, Quinn) are great as well! They all provide a unique and effective approach that helps me grow every class!

Also! I’ve been doing gymnastics sessions with coach Jackie!! No one better! I’ve been beyond happy with my gymnastics progression!

Can’t praise Josh and Jackie enough not just as owners of the gym, but how great they are as people!

Great community and great coaches! I love coming and working out here because it feels like family.

This is THE premier CrossFit Gym! The coaches/trainers are amazing and are focused on the success of the members. There is no better value for the expertise level of the coaches. No matter the member's level of fitness, the programming is adjusted to fit within what is possible for the individual to achieve. I have been a member since this location opened and the staff and members are a second family.

We have just celebrated 3 years and CFK and it has been nothing short of amazing. The staff and community have been welcoming from day one. The environment is extremely inclusive for all levels from first timers to experienced athletes. They offer a variety of classes including kids classes! They truly tailor the workout to the individual, including nutrition coaching. If you’re looking to truly make a change but don’t know where to start, this is the place.

This is different then any other gym I've have ever been to. The trainers are very knowledgeable about every aspect of fitness. Crossfit Kinnick is very much like a family, everyone is friendly and very motivating. I've been going for 6 months and have great results. I am excited to show up everyday and can't wait to see where I am in 6 months.

This place has become my second home! Very knowledgeable and helpful trainers, who are able to scale all workouts for ANY fitness level. Everyone here is so supportive and encouraging. I never looked forward to working out until joining CrossFit Kinnick :) FREE intro class! Give it a try.

I have been a member of Crossfit Kinnick for over 2 years now. Absolutely the best workout I have ever taken part in. The trainers are very knowledgeable and supportive. They push you to excel while still helping you to compensate for physical limitations. I still look forward to every workout, no matter how tough it looks, and they have helped me to extend myself both physically and mentally well beyond where I ever expected to be.

A great place to enjoy some uplifting community and work out - so scalable, they meet you where you are.

Crossfit Kinnick welcomed me when I moved here for school from Fl. Since I knew no one in the area I was lucky to find such an amazing and caring group of coaches. CFK quickly became a second family for me and I look forward to the time I get to spend with them!
