Like many people, I've tried a variety of workout trends, gyms and programs to improve my health. I couldn't stick to anything for long and thought myself too undisciplined to maintain a "healthy lifestyle". I was responsible for my own health; I meal planned, took classes, ketoed my way into oblivion, but something was definitely missing. I knew of CrossFit for years and it was one thing I had not tried because it was too difficult, expensive and I was sure I wouldn't fit in. It occurred to me that the one thing that I did not have around me was a community of people with similar lifestyle goals. I couldn't see myself as fit and healthy because there was no one around to show that it's not only possible but also completely normal. I reached out to Rachael and set up an intro chat. Before telling me all about Grit & Grace, the awesome workouts, all the gainzzzz and friends and wow!... she just listened. I had a chance to explain my background and she helped me figure out if CF was indeed a good fit. No sales pitch needed. This was going to be a new home for my body and mind.Fast-forward to Fundamentals and some one-on-one with the coaches and I'm growing into a better me. Just being around the positive energy, friendly, happy members and professional (I can't emphasize that enough- Jordan, Taryn, Sakura) trainers has satisfied that deep need for community. I see what I can become in the people around me. I want to show up to share in the effort, energy and fun. All that I have learned so far has spilled over into other parts of my life. Finally, when I think about how scary, expensive and socially awkward GGCF would be, I realize that a stressed, sick and socially disconnected me would cost a lot more in the long run. More...

Grit and Grace has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a very long time. Becoming a member six months ago has truly been life changing for me. The coaches there are so happy and welcoming, willing to give their time to teach and encourage, but also push you through those tough workouts to achieve your goals! I had minimal Crossfit experience before joining but I had a desire to make a change. That’s all you need too, the drive to make a change. Everyone there wants to be there, never complains, and it’s incredible to feel that positive energy everyday. Grit and Grace is the best hour of my day. Thank you Rachael, James, and all the coaches and members for this amazing community that I highly recommend to everyone!! More...

Grit and Grace is an amazing community. I'm someone who has struggled with sticking to a physical fitness regime because I felt like, well I haven't lost X amount of weight so I give up. At Grit and Grace it's not about a number on a scale or the size of your clothes. It's about watching your body evolve and seeing the amazing things it can do. The coaches are outstanding. They're with you every step the way to help you through learning the movements and getting through tough work outs. I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing family I have found at Grit and Grace.

If you’re looking for a killer workout with knowledgeable coaches and the most encouraging members then you should definitely try grit and grace! Whether you are new to working out or a seasoned athlete crossfit can offer you a challenging workout tailored to your level of fitness and abilities while challenging you to become your best self! CrossFit was new and intimidating to me as someone who has been in and out of the gym without consistency but each member, coach and workout makes me feel more comfortable and empowered than the last. Sometimes you just need that extra push and that’s what you’ll find being part of this family. More...

I have been a member of Grit and Grace for just over 1.5 years. In that time the coaches have helped me develop better diet habits, increase my flexibility, and significantly improve my physical condition. Grit and Grace is a place where you can come work out, have a lot of fun, and significantly improve your fitness levels. I recommend this place for anybody looking for a positive change in their life. More...

So I'm the type that doesn't like to get that far out of my comfort zone so I was pretty reluctant to walk in the door.. ..BUT I must say..I felt totally comfortable and by the end of my first day, I WAS ADDICTED AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!! The staff really cares and really motivates you....which makes all the difference. More...

I started coming to Grit and Grace in September, and I'm hooked now. I was nervous to start because I was intimidated by everything about Crossfit.
The Fundamentals course was the perfect way to acclimate, and it really put my mind at ease. In that on-ramp, we learned basic movements and lifts as well as ways to scale activities to our own needs, but still got a taste of the intensity of a regular WOD.
Rachael is an amazing coach, meeting you where you're at and encouraging you to push yourself to see just what you're capable of, but at the same time, she makes sure that you're doing it safely. Just over a month in, and I feel confident pushing myself to go a little harder, lift heavier.
And a last thing...the community. Working out with the people at GGCF is fun. The people are supportive, and it's awesome to share a class with people of various ages and abilities, all digging deep, working at our individual limits, and cheering each other on.

If you have always wanted to try crossfit but just never had the nerve to walk through the door well now is your chance! !! This local “home town” box will not let you down and have you talking about the workouts every time you leave!! The owners are great people who will take the time to teach and mentor you while meeting you where your at now, but be aware you will become an athlete before no time !!! Zero intimidation at this box!! Gotta try it out for yourself !!! More...

Great place! Rachael & James are knowledgeable, wicked cool, and down-to-earth... they've created an environment that encourages people to challenge themselves while stressing the importance of form and injury prevention. Being a "currently out-of-shape" (getting better every day now!) woman in my late 40's, I am thrilled with how welcomed, supported, and empowered I am when I'm there. More...
