I live out of state but visit Kansas City fairly frequently to see one of my best friends from college. She is a member at this gym and it has become a staple for her fitness. About a year ago I decided to try it and tried to put aside all of the cross fit stereotypes that can intimidate people into trying it. Since that time, I almost insist we do a class every time I visit now. This place has terrific coaches, friendly members, and a great atmosphere.

This is the best gym in KC, with the best most supportive people who genuinely want to succeed. No matter what your goal is, they’ll help you get to it. I always say, it’s like working out in your neighbor’s garage with a bunch of your friends (and who doesn’t want their workouts to be more fun?). I started 2026 with a goal to get just one pull-up. I’ve now done 29!! Coming to FCF will not only get you to your goals, but you’ll have the most fun along the way.

As a mid 30s, 9-5 marketer with 4 screens, fitness was always a goal but never a priority. Not only have I run my first mile and performed a proper push up, but I look forward to working out and crushing new PRs. #fcfopen2026
