Mendota Fitness: Home of CrossFit Mendota

This is the place you want to train, develop, and build community.

I had the privilege of training here for the past few months, I have lost weight, gained endurance, improved my mindset, and built a community. Everyone in this community is very supported, new faces feel like old friends, and their attention to detail when you first start out is unparalleled.

The owner Travis is extremely thorough, he is empathetic, kind, and very knowledgable. It is very obvious that he is passionate about this sport and wants to ensure that everyone stays heathy and strong. His vision for the community is carried out by the coaching team he developed.

Alex: She is an amazing coach, always welcomes me by name and rememberers my strengths and weaknesses. She has great insights and recommendations on how to improve form as well as inspires motivation from the warm up through the Workout of the Day (WOD). She devotes her time before and after class to check in with members and truly takes an interest in helping them improve their heath.

James: I had an opportunity to take one class with him and work beside him for two other classes. If you want to get your mindset in the right spot, take a class from James. He is a technical wizard and helped improve my form throughout warm up. He has amazing energy and its inspiring to be around someone that is so passionate about the sport.

Allison: She is phenomenal, she knows how to work the whole class and is the perfect catalyst when you need to dig deep during a WOD. She gives great technical feedback and is a source of motivation throughout the class. She also greets members by name which feels amazing to walk into a community where the coaches have a vested interest in your success.

This is more than a gym, this is a community. Highly Recommend.

See you there!

Great place for a drop in! I emailed them the day prior and they responded within minutes and got me hooked up with a class. I’ve dropped in quite a few places when traveling, and the coach (Alex) was super welcoming and provided some great feedback on my snatch form. Would def go back if I’m ever in town again!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working out at Mendota Fitness. When I joined the gym, I hadn't ever completed a CrossFit workout, and now that I'm 5 months in I'm hooked. The team culture and constant strive for improvement oozes from the gym. Everyone is incredibly supportive, and the staff couldn't be more helpful. I would recommend anyone ready to take their workout journey to the next level to join with Mendota Fitness, you won't regret it.

I dont know where to start. I am so beyond happy and grateful for being a part of the Mendota Fitness community. I joined in June 22 and it has completely transformed me mentally and physically. The staff and members are incredibly warming and encouraging to all skill levels. My son attends Crossfit for Kids and absolutely loves it. It is a place where my son and I can feel comfortable and get fit and have fun with others while doing so. I highly recommend this gym over any others in the area. It provides exclusivity, connection to the community and a place to have fun while getting healthy!

At 37 I never thought I'd be able to get into the best shape of my life. Do not be intimidated by the idea of CrossFit. The Mendota Fitness team will help you achieve amazing strength and conditioning gains, but all while making sure you are going at the appropriate pace for your skill and fitness level.

The coaches are all very helpful and encouraging. The members are also incredibly nice and fun to hang out with. I've been a member now for 9 months and absolutely love it.

The team at Mendota Fitness have got me to the most fit that I have ever been after only 100 days. Travis is very kind and welcoming. I had almost no athletic experience before joining, but the training team, especially Austin, did an amazing job of meeting me where I was and coaching me along my path. They offer nutrition coaching as well, and Samantha has given me knowledge and advice that has changed my relationship with food, and turbo charged my progress. I can't recommend this team of professionals highly enough.

Mendota Fitness is superior to all the other gyms in my area because of the people. The staff and other gym goers are very motivating and welcoming. The staff is great at their job and can make sure that you get a workout no matter your physical limitations. I would not have lasted as long as I have carving out 3-4 hours a week at any other gym.

I highly recommend Mendota Fitness for the sense of community, quality of coaching and atmosphere. The coaches focus on form and lifting safety, while still encouraging and challenging your limits in every workout. Members are welcoming and it has been fun to grow with others in our fitness journeys, all with a little friendly competition!

Mendota Fitness is everything you are looking for in a CrossFit gym. The coaches are not only friendly but also very knowledgeable. I do personal programming with Austin Dickson for my disc golf and it’s been fantastic. The space is is one of the biggest I’ve seen. The community is also top notch. Travis as strived to cultivate a safe environment to not only succeed but also to fail and grow. Weather you are experienced I. The world of fitness or your are looking to start your fitness journey to be the best version of you, this is the place. 🤙🏼

After trying for many years to lead a self-directed workout plan and healthier lifestyle with varied levels of success, Mendota Fitness was the missing link. Outstanding coaching across all skill levels and competencies, the accountability of highly motivated individuals in small class sizes, it's really hard to ask for much more. Once I settled in to the classes, having the option to add Nutrition Coaching through Mendota Fitness to my exercise regimen was another huge plus, helping me focus on improving my diet which helped me lose weight and perform better in and outside the gym.

If you're thinking of joining the gym - stop in for a class or a one-on-one and see what it's all about, you won't regret it.

Other pros: tons of space, great equipment, onsite showers, clean facility, especially nice when the big garage doors are all open, friendly people throughout, non-judgmental, diverse, great value, etc.

Glad I joined, the coaches are all great and very helpful. I was afraid it would be intimidating but it's been very accessible and welcoming. MFit has been great addition to the regular workouts. Can't praise the coaches enough.

Great coaches, awesome facility, and intro 6 week free trial was amazing. I have had nothing but experience of my life. Joining Mendota Fitness has gotten me in the best shape of my life!

Awesome staff, great environment. They make you feel welcome and part of the family. Travis is and outstanding owner and coach.

At first I was hesitant to sign up for the 6 week challenge… Many thoughts came to mind like, can I do this and commit to 6 wks? Am I in good enough shape to even try the workouts? What would others think of me?
The answer was yes, and I felt confident with going forward after talking with Travis and meeting the coaches.
I completed the 6 week challenge and have been there now over 10 plus weeks and also became a member (first time gym member) and I feel like I made the right decision. I cannot recommend enough!

The idea of joining a CrossFit gym at 46 and no where near in shape to do the different movements was not something I expected to do, but I have been coming here for over a year and its been great. The instructors are awesome and will help you scale each workout and exercise movement to your ability. There is no judgement and just only support to help you meet your goals. I highly recommend this gym.

Really great gym - Awesome and planful programming, welcoming community and great space. AND The coaches are incredible - Great queues and scaling recommendations when needed and full of energy.

I joined CrossFit Mendota in Spring 2018, and I've been going 3-4 times per week since then. The classes are super challenging but also very rewarding - I look forward to each class! The coaches are all very knowledgeable and helpful. As a beginner, coming in for the first few times can be pretty intimidating/humbling, but all the movements are scaled the suit each person, so it's fun to see everyone in class (including yourself!) progress over time. Can't recommend CFM enough!

Finding Crossfit Mendota was one of the best things I could've done for myself after moving to Minnesota last year. It was intimidating at first, but the community is incredible and so supportive, the workouts are intense and always something different. The classes are led by awesome coaches who push you to accomplish your goals while putting a big emphasis on safety. I look forward to going every day!

I had my first session yesterday. The environment and atmosphere was so comfortable - the gym makes it a point that everyone encourages each other. The trainers push you but ensure that you're not overdoing it and hurting yourself.

Since the first day I walked into Medota FIt, I felt like I was at home. I can't say enough about the instructors, all are very good at what they do and do a great job of helping you attain your goals. The gym members are great people as well and are friendly, encouraging, and great to be around.
