During MKTfits Bring a Buddy week I attended a Yoga and CrossFit class. Mallory is the gyms yoga instructor and she was amazing at leading the class. She incorporated so many poses I had never seen before! It was the perfect way to relax and get stretched out before my CrossFit class. During the CrossFit class the instructors were great at making sure I knew how to do the workouts correctly. The gym members and instructors were extremely encouraging and supportive. I loved being able to see what my body could do physically and meet some amazing new people! I highly recommend trying out MKTFit!

One of the best decision I ever made since I got to the city of columbia is that I chose CrossFit MKT. As an international student, sometimes it seems challenging to try something due to language barrier. People here are so nice that I always feel comfortable. Language doesnt matter here. They always say hello to everyone and greet each other. I am so happy to be in part of this group. Needless to say, coaches are very professional and kind.

I’ve been going to MKT Fit for almost two years now and it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I was going through a career transition so dealing with the stress of that and not getting any satisfaction from my normal workout routine.. which was basically me just going to the gym for 30-40 minutes and going through the motions of some basic movements and barely breaking a sweat. I needed something more! I had tried out a full week of MKT about 6 months earlier and I decided to buck up and commit to a membership (although it’s month to month.. no long term contracts) and I talked my wife into joining with me. Every workout pushes you to your limits but does so without pushing you too far.. each class is like a personal training session with a group. The coaches and facilities are amazing and the friendships I’ve created along the way are priceless!! At age 34, I’m in the best physical & mental shape of my life and have no plans on stopping anytime soon. The culture/community that John and the MKT staff have created is as good as it gets, and they’re always striving to be better! Thank you MKT!!

MKT was an excellent decision for me. It was one of the best decisions that I made in the last year. With MKT, I work harder to get to the gym because of the great workouts and the awesome people. I have tried most of the great boxes in town; however, among those, I think that MKT had the most family-like atmosphere. It is this family of people that gets me to the gym consistently each week. I live a hectic life as a medical student, and balancing my life is critical. MKT has helped me find a balance to which I am very thankful.

Dropped in twice while out in the Missouri area. Hands down one of the best CrossFit experiences Ive had. Staff and coaches were very friendly, professional, attentive and extremely knowledgeable. The culture theyve built shines through each member as I was greeted by smiling faces with plenty of fist bumps after the workout. If youre in Columbia and looking for a workout and an overall great hour, look no further than Crossfit MKT! 💪🏽 👍🏼 😁

MKT fit has dramatically changed my overall level of fitness. From helping me take on some new food habits to increasing my workload in the gym, I am able to see results like I have never had. Beyond that, my wife an I work out together. Never has she enjoyed working out in regards to weightlifting, but loves this. It has been great for us as a couple to engage in fitness together. The coaches are the best Ive had in the Crossfit world. They give little nuggets for improved performance and are able to accommodate anyone across the fitness spectrum and make them feel comfortable. The space is the best in town. THEY HAVE AC! I love this gym, I love these coaches, and I love my community.

From the cleanest gym to the friendliest community, MKT is my home. The equipment is well maintained and I’ve made some of the best friends here. The coaches make every class enjoyable and are always pushing you to be better and get out of your typical comfort zone. I also love the open gym hours.

I joined MKT Fit almost a year ago at the ripe age of 45. I had eased myself into a rather sedentary lifestyle. I was gaining weight each year and having recently been prescribed medication for High Blood Pressure.I set up a meeting with John from MKT Fit and explained my situation in hopes of figuring out if this place was a good fit for me to reach my goals of weight loss and better health. I was so impressed with John and his team of coaches that I signed up immediately....and have never looked back.Each class is great and the best part about MKT fit is the community and the fellowship that we have there with each other.As of today, I have lost around 35 pounds and my blood pressure is in check. I have gone from 3 medications down to just one. I have gained confidence in all of my abilities and find myself entering into races and competitions outside of the gym.This is all thanks to the dedication of John and his team at MKT Fit. They have given me the tools and encouragement that I needed to make a lifestyle change that is making me a healthier, happier and more productive person.

MKT has been so much more than just a gym to me. It has been a place where I have grown as an athlete and a person. I am in the best shape of my life, even after having a baby last year. I love this gym and the community that comes with it.

Ive belonged to a number of gyms over the years, but Ive never belonged to a gym like MKT Fit. Its a special place. Its clean, has nice equipment and plenty of parking. But the heart of MKT Fit is in the relationships you develop with the exceptional coaches and the people who call this wonderful place their fitness home. You dont need to be a stud athlete to fit in. Thats the beauty of MKT Fit - its about embracing a healthy lifestyle thats right for you. Every workout is scaled so everyone, no matter his or her fitness level, can participate and leave feeling like Wow, I did it! We support and cheer each other on, which is something tough to describe until youve experienced it. Its the kind of stuff that makes you want to come back. And besides that, its fun, really fun! Joining MKT Fit has enriched my life in ways I could never have imagined.- Sara D.

This is a top notch gym. The value for the cost is well worth it. The coaches are incredible: welcoming, encouraging, inspiring, and helpful. They strive to make sure that every member makes progress and brings about the best in themselves.

I’ve been to a few different CrossFit gyms but none have showed me a sense of community the way MKT has. Their coaches are engaging and challenging while the members are fun and share the same goals as you. Everyone around you is making you better and I look forward to my workouts every day!

I joined a 6 week challenge group in February 2019, and I was so impressed at the ability of all the coaches to modify the workout to my fitness level. I was VERY out of shape. Since then, I have seen steady improvements in strength, confidence, and the way my clothes fit. But what I love most about this gym is the people. Its just a good place to be. I highly recommend!

MKT is great for people of all fitness levels and is well known for embracing new members and creating a family experience. I have been there for only a few short months and I already feel at home there. If you are interested in CrossFit or just bettering your life, I suggest you check it out!

MKT CrossFit is one of the best things that has ever happened to me! From the supportive coaches to the family like, team atmosphere, I knew they were doing something GREAT! Not only for me but so many other amazing people who are working to achieve whatever goal it is they have in mind whether that is getting leaner, building muscle, or just having a fun time. I love coming to the gym and being greeted by the coaches and other members, soaking in the daily mindset, laughing at all the coaches funny jokes, having fun and being challenged to whole new levels I didn’t know were possible. MKT is like a home to me! Thank you MKT for all you do and helping me become a better person!!

I love MKT FIT! I don’t mean to be dramatic, but it’s changed my life. I’ve never enjoyed working out, and I’ve never stuck with any “workout program” before MKT. I’ve been going to there for over a year now and still love it. One of the reasons I chose MKT was because of the amazing childcare that’s offered! There are so many class options to choose from that offer childcare. The coaches are always looking for new ways to help each member grow. LOVE the coaches and members. It’s so much fun to workout at a place where everyone is working hard and encouraging each other. I wouldn’t CrossFit anywhere else in Columbia!

MKT Fit has been an amazing experience in my past year here. I have travelled and dropped into multiple CrossFit gyms across the country and MKT Fit has a standard that has not been met anywhere else! Love the friendly and consistent staff, great equipment & space, and the overall culture that MKT Fit establishes within their community.

Been going here consistently for 4 months now for 3 days a week, and I am really liking my results and have gotten comments about it from my friends/family. The gym has lots of new equipment and a good reservation system so the classes are never packed or too crowded. Starting a new gym can be intimidating, but the coaches are really good at making sure they teach through-out the whole class, so youre never left behind. Ive been doing Crossfit on and off for 5~6 years, and the great thing about the programming at MKT is that they provide a variety of workouts so that you can modify it to your level. From beginner to advanced, you get the workout you need.

What can I say about MKT Fit. Words cannot express the positive physical and mental improvement from training at MKT. Thanks to the MKT Fit coaching strategy. I went from a mentally depressed physically beat inactive individual to an individual who can move more freely. Im not your athletic, physically dominating, cardio on point individual. I am a lot better in physical and mental health thanks to MKT Fit. No matter your stage in life the coaches at MKT Fit will guide you and improve you.

There are few experiences in this world as joyous as achieving something you had convinced yourself you could never achieve. MKT CrossFit helped give me that gift through their wonderfully skilled and supportive coaches who are committed to helping every one of us, with our limited abilities and debilitating fears, live more healthy and rewarding lives. It is my hope that others will give themselves this same gift.

Review №27

MKT is the first crossfit gym Ive tried. I was intimidated and reluctant to show up for a class to see if it would be right for me, but the moment I stepped foot in the facility I was greeted with kind faces that were happy to show me correct form and cheer me on when were all working out together. I think my favorite thing about the classes are how throughout the workout we motivate and cheer each other on. Saying good job, keep it up, almost there. It truly keeps you motivated even on the hardest workouts. Thats just the other classmates! The coaches are on a whole other level. I almost quit once but Corey was right there to stand next to me and remind me to breathe and get through the work out. Bobby with his always positive words of affirmation and motivation and John the man behind the power of the entire gym thats always there to answer questions or remind you why you started. I love this gym and if I ever decide to quit for good its going to be a difficult decision to do so.

The programming is incredible and the coaches encourage you to push yourself and achieve the fitness goals that are unique to yourself! I’ve been a member at multiple CrossFit gyms around the country and MKT has far exceeded my expectations. The members are supportive and the sense of community is unparalleled! Not only do the coaches care about your physical health, but they have an amazing set of values that you see displayed by each of them every time you go for a workout.

MKT Fit is not just a gym, it’s a community of accountability, progress, and wellness. As a runner and health professional, I was interested but skeptical about Crossfit and the injuries that happen with incorrect form and coaching. After a week at MKT, I knew this gym was different. MKT coaches not only preach a balanced life, they embody it, and encourage every athlete to strive for excellence day in and day out. With daily workouts to address all areas of fitness, coaching for long term health rather than short term strength, and athletes of every shape and size, MKT pushed me to build a stronger fitness foundation. In the last year, I’ve become the strongest I’ve ever been in my life, improved my nutritional habits, cut 16 minutes off my half marathon time, and seen a direct impact of functional fitness on my ability to do my job well and serve my community. MKT is the best investment I’ve ever made in my health.

I have been going to MKT Crossfit for 2 months. I am enjoying the work and the experience. John, his team of coaches, and all the MKT members are friendly and approachable. The environment and people at MKT encourage members at any skill level to work hard and not quit on reaching their goals.I like that class sizes are limited to avoid overcrowding. The coaches (often multiple coaches per class) keep pus motivated and ensure we are working out safely.I recommend MKT Crossfit to anyone who is looking for a challenge or guidance while getting/staying healthy.

Okay this is going to be long so prepare haha. I had been trying out Anytime Fitness and was planning to pay for a 3 month membership when I got back from vacation. The night before I planned to get a membership my brother pulled me aside and tried to talk me into going to MKT Fit for a “no sweat intro.” He sat there telling me about how it’s more of a community than a gym, how they have intense workouts but each can be scaled to your personal abilities, the classes, how coaches lead you through every movement and how they keep you on track during workouts. One of my main issues with working out was doing it in front of people. It’s why I considered anytime fitness. I would go whenever nobody else was there and I had the whole gym to myself. My brother continued to push me, he assured me that nobody is there to judge. He told me it’s fairly expensive but that it’s worth the money. I was super anxious and not ready to spend so much money. But in my desire to push myself outside of my comfort zone, I agreed to go to the “no sweat intro.” Bobby was the one that showed me around and talked about the gym. I told him that I was fairly anxious about it and and he told me I didn’t have to commit to the unlimited classes, that I could just do one of the limited class memberships. I was still weary, anxious and indecisive but I kept thinking about how excited my brother was while he was telling me about this gym. I went all in with the unlimited class membership. I cannot express how happy MKT has made me. It is a community, it is a family, and everyday you are surrounded by people with the same sort of goals. The coaches are there for more than just your fitness goals. They guide you in finding a good mindset, how to clean up your diet, and live an overall healthy and happy lifestyle. There are even events where everybody gets together outside of the gym to kick back and relax with each other. This is a place where you can make lifelong friendships and find great role models to look up to. And for my biggest worry when joining this gym, I can assure you there was nothing to be worried about. I thought people would stare and judge while I was working out, but there is no judgement. There is purely encouragement and support. MKT and the MKT Family make me genuinely excited to get up and workout everyday-even at 5 in the morning. It is so worth any money, time, or worries. It’s an investment but it’s an investment in your health, you’re happiness, and your relationships. I’m forever grateful for my brother pushing me to join.

I have always wanted to do CrossFit, but was nervous about hurting myself and being able to do everything I had seen the athletes do. As a physical therapist, I wanted to see for myself what CrossFit was all about so I signed up at MKT. I have loved every workout, they have a great team atmosphere, and offer modifications when needed. I feel very comfortable encouraging patients to continue with CrossFit, knowing their coaches will make modifications as necessary to ensure a safe workout for their athletes. I’m so glad I signed up, and am so excited to see my body get leaner and stronger!

Two years ago I started my crossfit journey with MKT Fit and I have no regrets. The coaches are top notch, always pushing members to break down barriers while improving their fitness routines. If youre curious about crossfit or just tired of the same old instagram workouts, look no further than MKT FIT! Step out of your comfort zone and let these coaches what youre truly capable of. Youll be happy you did.

If I had to describe my experience with MKT FIT in two words, LIFE CHANGING, luckily I get more than that 😉 Were more than a gym, were a fit fam; we help each other move, celebrate birthdays, have big family BBQs, cheer for our triumphs, and support each other through struggles and hardships. Almost every member has a story about how MKT has helped them acheive progress, or theyre still working on their story.

I’m going on my 3rd year at MKT and continue to be amazed at what I can now do in the gym at 43yo. I’ve completely transformed my body and my fitness level. The MKT coaches are awesome and take great pride in achieving results for their members. Safety always comes first at MKT, so forget the negative untrue comments you’ve heard about CrossFit in the past....that CrossFit is high risk for injury, it’s unsafe, etc. I believed them too until I joined MKT. I had shoulder and hip/knee issues which are now gone due to my increased mobility and overall health of my musculoskeletal system. If you want to break the mold and transform yourself, call and sign up for an intro!

I had never worked out with a barbell my entire life and based on what I thought I know about CrossFit assumed CrossFit wasnt for me. I am so glad I gave it a try because two years later I my husband and I are in the best shape of our lives. It has truly transformed us not just physically but also mentally. We both could be called workaholics constantly on our phones and computers day and night. CrossFit gives us 1 full hour a day where we disconnect from work and it has truly changed us for the better. I almost consider it a pseudo-meditation; good for the mind body and soul. MKTFIT is absolutely the best investment of my time and money I could ever imagine.

I joined crossfit in march of 2017! MKT has been the only crossfit home I have ever known. the coaches are a lot of the reason i continue to show up! they push me outside my comfort zone and have never failed to give a word of encouragement when you need it most. MKT is not just a gym, it’s a community of all different (physically) kinds of people who come together and push each other to be better. hashtag MKTfit 4-evr 🤩

John is an awesome guy. Hes invested a lot into MKT and it shows when hes coaching a class, he really enjoys what he does; as do all of the other coaches. The gym itself is basically brand new and everything is Rogue: barbells, plates, med balls, the racks, all of it. Plenty of assault bikes, rowers, kettlebells, barbells etc. Im no CrossFit afficianado, I have an open gym membership, but I love watching the classes and occasionally jumping in. If youre looking for a new gym, come to MKT, the coaches and the people are awesome. I cant say it enough, the people here are great, I love it.

Today was our second time dropping in this box while in town. John is an awesome coach and the box is top notch, from the equipment to the atmosphere. They do a great job creating a team environment from the warmup and explanation of the WOD all the way through to post-WOD mobility. My wife and I highly recommend this box to anyone visiting CoMo or any locals looking to up there fitness game.

Me & Miranda have known John for several years. John has always had a mile high passion for fitness. To see him continuously raise the bar for himself and others is an awesome experience. With that said, why not raise the bar yourself & your fitness goals? John defies the over the top generic stereotype of Crossfit coaches & will work w you on whatever level of fitness that your currently at. Deep down inside I know you have fitness goals you day dream about so why not make you dreams come true at MKT Crossfit w coach John Stull & the rest of the community?

While Crossfit can be intimidating the coaches make sure everyone is included, workouts scaled if needed, and everyone gets an AWESOME workout!! So much fun and lots of laughs.. They stress functional fitness and strength and conditioning based on your individual health and fitness goals. Starting Crossfit was the best health decision I have ever made- LOVE it. Coach Stull and his crew are very welcoming ..I recommend everyone to check it out !!💕❤💪🏼 Ohhh yeah and the gym is really really purty too😊

MKT Crossfit is hands down the best CrossFit gym in all of Missouri. Bar-Non. The gym is entirely brand new with state of the art Rogue Fitness equipment in every aspect of the facility. The racks are Rogue, the plates are Rogue, the benches are Rogue, even the Plyo boxes are Rogue, and for those that dont know Rogue is the Cadillac of Crossfit. The Workouts of the day are always challenging, but are modified to fit your ability level so they can be completed by all. The instruction at MKT Fitness is top notch. Head Coach John Stull is incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic motivator as well as instructor. He teaches the workouts in a fun way, while also staying true to safety and correct form. The whole atmosphere is just fun in general. The gym has a brand new speaker system that plays all of the latest beats which gives me that little extra push I need to make a good workout a great one. Overall I give MKT Crossfit a 5/5 star review and am truly glad to be a member.
