Ive never been stronger or healthier than I am now, thanks to CrossFit Fairbanks. I joined in July 2013, and have been an active member ever since. The owners, Kane and Laci are approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely want to help you succeed. The other coaches are amazing as well, and the CrossFit community is unbelievable. I currently follow the Olympic lifting program, and I love it. Ive always enjoyed lifting and working out, and this program definitely puts an emphasis on technique and practice. I highly recommend CrossFit Fairbanks to anyone, but in order to reap the benefits of the training, you have to be dedicated and put the work in! I love it when I ring that PR bell, and everyone cheers!
This is a great box. Very spacious. The coaches are super nice. Very clean. I would definitely drop in next time Im in town.
I cant say enough great things about CrossFit Fairbanks! All of the coaches are truly dedicated to the progression of every person in the gym, no matter if that person has never been in a gym before of if they are competing for a spot at the CrossFit Games. I would recommend CrossFit Fairbanks to anyone that is willing to join a great, friendly, and supportive community while pushing your body with a different workout every day. The workouts are always different from day to day, they really push you to do your best and youll never get bored.
I have never lifted a weight in my life, and really had no interest in doing so. Then my wife started at CrossFit Fairbanks and wouldnt stop talking about it. I started about two weeks after she did, and I have not stopped yet. I am nearly 40 years old, and now I am in the best shape of my life and getting stronger every time I go. I would recommend anyone to give it a shot! The atmosphere created there is very encouraging and supportive. The trainers know what they are doing and know how to meet your individual needs. It has changed my life!
I have been at CrossFit Fairbanks for a little over a year now. From the moment I stepped in the gym i felt welcomed and encouraged. I have never felt more confident or strong in my life. CrossFit Fairbanks has amazing programming for anyone! I follow the Olympic Weightlifting program and have seen both my snatch and clean and jerk totals sky rocket! I have met some of the most friendliest people here, plus the coaches are amazing!!! I would highly recommend you stop by and i promise you, you will be hooked!
For the first time in my life - Ive found a gym that I go to consistently and get consistent results. Im not sure if it is the set times for classes, the great programming that keeps the workouts fresh (never a repeat), the world-class coaches that have fantastic attitudes and an uncanny ability to work with all kinds of fitness levels, or that I look and feel better than I ever have in my life - but CrossFit Fairbanks is definitely worth your time to check out.Ive been attending CFF for about 20 months. It was intimidated at first - but that quickly goes away when you meet the great coaches that truly care about your fitness AND your form. Trust me: no one cares about how awkward you might look the first time you perform a clean and jerk or a snatch - were all just trying to survive the workout :)
Ive been going to Cross Fit Fairbanks for 5 months now and not only is everyday different and challenging but the atmosphere reminds me of being part of a team, which makes it fun to show up everyday. Their staff of trainers, plus the owner Kane and his wife Laci, really take an interest in seeing people develop and focus a lot on lifting technique which you wont get at a regular gym. Im happy I made the switch!
Fantastic community atmosphere that drives people to accomplish their best. This is a great facility with two amazing sister owners that foster an environment that supports the journey to being stronger and faster.
I started going to Crossfit Fairbanks about four months ago because I was spending all of my day at a desk looking at a computer. I was going to the chiropractor a lot for a bad back and my mid section was gaining weight by the week. Since working out at the gym all of that has changed! I havent been in this good of shape since high school if even then, and I havent had my back go out in months. The trainers at the gym are exceptionally knowledgeable, but also super supportive and friendly. Almost every guy in the gym lifts more than me, but they really focus on having you work on personal improvement. And, I can definitely do thing physically that I never could have when I first walked in the door. It is really quite astounding thinking back on it! It has really been a life changing experience, and one I expect to continue for years to come.
I was only in Fairbanks for a couple of months, but this great CrossFit community welcomed me like I was one of their. The coaching staff are all very knowledgeable and helpful, highly recommended!
I started Crossfit Fairbanks in 2011, I was welcomed with open arms and encouraged to push myself. Even after surgeries and set backs I am welcomed back and challenged to push myself and and hone my techniques. Kane, Laci, and the other coaches learn each clients name and greet them all. This place has changed a great deal over the years but for the better.
Ive achieved more here than I ever thought possible. Great gym, great programming, great coaches.
From the moment that i walked into Crossfit Fairbanks i felt welcomed. Greeted by smiles of people from all backgrounds; Weightlifters, power lifters, moms, dads, and kids too. I was introduced immediately to one of the owners (Kane Greene) and knew that i was in the right place. Lifting and being athletic for years, but lacking technicality and the basic mechanic proficiency in most my lifts i knew i wanted and needed a knowledgeable coach. I found that here at Crossfit Fairbanks 8 months ago and have seen dramatic change in my lifts, as much as 25-50 pounds!!! The changes with my lifts are not the only thing either - my physique and mentality has improved as well. I was able to raise my Personal Best Records, build muscle mass, and maintain a low body fat percentage. I am proud of the hard work, but i do not take for granted the unwavering reinforcement received not only by the staff but others around me who are not afraid to give advice when needed and encourage everyone around to do better!
CrossFit Fairbanks is more than a great place to work out, it is an amazing and supportive community that I am so grateful to be a part of! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, and encouraging. I can’t stress this enough—they’re fantastic! Their positive attitudes and support contribute to the comfortable atmosphere of CrossFit Fairbanks. A variety of programs are offered here, including CrossFit WODS (with optional strength programming), powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and competitive fitness. There is something for everyone, regardless of what your personal goals may be! The workouts are accessible to individuals of any fitness level, with a variety of modifications offered tailored to individual ability, keeping participants safe and ensuring continual progress is being made.I originally participated in the CrossFit WODs, but I recently transitioned into the competitive fitness programming, which has been both challenging and rewarding. With CrossFit Fairbanks, your fitness WILL improve and you WILL succeed in meeting your goals! Working out at CrossFit Fairbanks has been a life-changing experience for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone, of any fitness level!
Great facility with a tremendous coaching staff. There are plenty places to work out in Fairbanks, but if you are serious about getting better and taking your fitness to a new level, this is your only serious option. Kane, Laci, Bill, and Sam are exceptionally effective at helping anyone to improve, regardless of age or starting ability. Their intelligent programming can help in any particular discipline, whether overall general health and fitness, endurance sports, or traditional team sports. However, if you are seeking to improve yourself in strength disciplines such as powerlifting or olympic lifting, this is really the place for you. You owe it to yourself to give them a try - you will absolutely not be disappointed!
Excellent trainers, great family atmosphere.
This is the only gym Ive stuck with on a consistent basis over the years. There is something for everyone here, no matter your fitness level, and you can customize it to fit your goals. Whether you want to focus on strength, cardio, power, speed, flexibility, endurance, agility... its all covered here. You can focus on WODs, increasing your strength, competitive Crossfit, power lifting or Olympic weightlifting. You have the benefit of motivated and experienced coaches, group settings, and supportive peers who always encourage you.If you have a competitive side, they also host several competitions and meets throughout the year to further help you improve your own numbers or even break State records!Theyve also added additional class times throughout the day so it can fit almost anyones schedule. I believe the price is very reasonable compared to other gyms, considering the equipment provided and ready access to the coaches every time you go in.I have no athletic background and have only dabbled in other gyms or forms of fitness throughout the years... but I cant even believe the things Im able to accomplish after coming here for more than 2 years -- I cant even count the number of meets Ive competed in, either. With the support of the coaches and peers in the gym, Ive achieved things I never imagined I could. It has changed my life! Dont be afraid, just try it.
Theres something Crossfit Fairbanks has that I havent been able to find anywhere else. I tried group aerobics, yoga, and working out on my own at the big box gyms, and I could never get myself to stick with anything for more than a few months. Ive been training here for over a year now, and Im so happy with the progress Ive made. Crossfitters are some of the friendliest people I know. The coaches really make an effort to get to know everyone individually and help identify your strengths and weaknesses. They meet you at whatever your fitness level and push you to give nothing less than your best. Every workout is pre-programed, so you never have to walk in the gym wondering what to do that day. The variety of equipment available is outstanding, and since every class is different boredom never sets in.
Great facility, great people, and the best coaches ever! Im now stronger than Ive ever been at age 33, excited to fit my workouts in around my job (firefighting), and am starting to feel confidence in my bodys abilities to achieve simple things like pullups and double-unders and hand stands. I incorporated Crossfit into the training program I administer for the fire department, and all three trainees are, without a doubt, in the best shape of their lives right now with just 4 workouts per week.The best part is that there is literally no excuse - you can be in and out within an hour and theres no such thing as a bad workout there...youll always get the encouragement you need to go faster or heavier than last time.Kane and Laci and Sam are incredible coaches, amazing people, and wonderful friends. Their coaching is the true value of your membership.
Ive been going to Crossfit Fairbanks since the early days, so much has changed in the last 5 years. The work that Kane and Laci have done to improve the lives of so many is amazing. The programming is some of the best youll find at any gym around the country, whether your goals are to get fit, get strong, or get good lookin. If youve been looking to start Crossfit and have any questions, all of the coaches are knowledgeable and can help you with anything. Dont hesitate!
I was a member of Crossfit Fairbanks from November 2010 –September 2013, with a year long absence thrown in there due to a deployment.I love Crossfit Fairbanks. I went from not being able to clean 95lbs to being able to clean 205lbs. From not knowing what a back squat was to being able to back squat 405lbs. The gym is great, the coaches are smart, driven, and want to help you. The programming is world class and continually being improved. The coaches take you as you are, and guide you to where you want to be.Since I left Fairbanks I have been searching for a gym as good as Crossfit Fairbanks. I have not found one. The combination of highly educated programming along with the drive to be the best and the welcoming atmosphere is truly unique to Crossfit Fairbanks.
No matter the level of lifter or fitness CFFB is the place. The atmosphere is upbeat, friendly and most of all encouraging. One thing that sets this place apart is the programing. They have great Olympic lifting and power lifting programs that work. On any given day you can see girls squat any where from 100lbs to 400lbs,snatch there body weight or rip out half a dozen muscle ups. They also offer cf kids and a play room for the kids while you knock out a wod.
I started at CrossFit Fairbanks in 2011, back when it was about 1/4 of the size it is now. Despite all the structural changes and growth, it still has the same welcoming, down-to-earth, judgement-free, fun atmosphere. Kane and Lacis programming and coaching (as well as the other coaches!) are top notch. Seriously. Ive been to other CrossFits throughout the US and other countries, and have recently moved out of state. Nothing compares. You will get stronger. You will get faster. You will get healthier. And your technique will be flawless. I recently received my CrossFit Weightlifting certificate, and while the seminar was useful, I really didnt learn a whole lot because Kane and Laci teach the same concepts and movements every day during the warm-up. Thanks CFF, I appreciate everything youve done and I know youll continue to improve the lives of many others!
Its the best workout in town!
My daughters were insistent, come to Crossfit Fairbanks! For months I repeated my mantra, Im to old, Im out of shape, my joints dont bend, I dont know how to lift blah, blah, blah! A year later and I am now a master athlete, not out of shape, I can climb a rope (sort of) and I do know how to lift! Owners Kane and Laci, along with Coaches Sam, Chris, Kristy and Huck all know how to help scale the WODs for those of us who need to and also know when to push and encourage us to the next level. In the last year I have learned that Crossfit in general and Crossfit Fairbanks in particular are there to help you get yourself to the level of fitness you want. I appreciate that!
I joined Crossfit Fairbanks about 6 months after moving to Alaska hoping to meet more people and to get away from the dreaded treadmills and ellipticals at every other gym. The only weightlifting Id done before joining was lifting 10lb dumbbells over my head a few times after a run. It was safe to say I was hesitant to believe Id ever be capable of lifting a significant amount of weight (it hurt to lift the smallest womens bar that first week). But I faced my fears and gave it a try. Thank goodness I did. Crossfit Fairbanks is a community of encouraging, fun, determined people all trying to be their fittest selves. The workouts are tailored to your fitness level - no matter how out of shape you think you are - and the coaches are incredibly patient while youre initially learning. Once you get down the weightlifting techniques and you begin to add weight and improve your skills, thats when the fun begins. Deadlifting over 200 lbs, learning to rope climb, doing my first pull up, and improving my mile time significantly are just a few of the awesome accomplishments Ive made in my 10 months at Crossfit Fairbanks. Its never the same boring workout. Every day is different than the last. The coaches create a fun, positive atmosphere to work out in. Id definitely recommend Crossfit Fairbanks for anyone interested in crossfit but hesitant because it seems impossible. Anyone can do it!
Great place to train, whether it is for powerlifting, olympic lifting, Crossfit, or even competitive Crossfit. The gym/box has everything you need equipment-wise to get the job done including an awesome Oly Pit. The coaches are great! Open gym all day with WODs throughout the day. Strength coach always available throughout the day. Many members compete in Lifting and Crossfit competitions as individuals and as a team. Great environment to train.
Been working with kane as an athlete and lifter since 2009, and can confidently say that it is one of the superior weightlifting and powerlifting gyms in the state! Kane has a wide base of knowledge for training athletes of all kinds- be it your average casual exerciser, to intercollegiate athletes, to crossfitters, to powerlifters, olympic lifters, odds are he will have something to help you get better for your sport or goals. It is the place i love to lift at when home in Fairbanks, AK, and the one place I refer people to when they are trying to improve their strength and power. As a strength and conditioning coach, Id recommend any potential athletes and customers to simply look at the athletes he has created and mentored, and take confidence in that!- Ryan Walsh, CSCS, USAW, USATF
Great people. Great workout.
