Wonderful drop in experience. I’ve been doing CrossFit for 14 years and I learned something new when I dropped in. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

This is a great gym whether you live in the area or just dropping in- I was in town for a week looking for a place to workout. Laurie was super accommodating with scheduling and getting me the information I needed. She has a great eye for technique and willing to give a newcomer the same instruction as her regulars. On top of that, Ortus has new top of the line equipment and runs a clean gym. Regardless of you current fitness state this is the gym for you. I'll be dropping in again in the future!

Do you think CrossFit could never be for you? So did I. Until I took a chance and reached out to Laurie at CrossFit Ortus. This is not your typical CrossFit gym. I’ve been going here for almost 3 months and I can’t speak highly enough of this place! At the beginning, Laurie met with me to discuss my interest in the gym, she allowed me to observe a class and then started me off doing a one on one basics training before I joined the classes. Laurie has redefined my views on CrossFit and has eased any stress or anxiety I had about not being able to measure up to the “intensity” I thought CrossFit was. She is a strong yet gentle and encouraging support in my health journey. Laurie has a comprehensive approach to ensuring your journey benefits you to the fullest. She is full of the knowledge and the science behind the movements she teaches and offers a truly tailored approach to your health. I would have never thought I could do CrossFit! But now I am. Check out the website, and see for yourself how different this place is.

I highly recommend Crossfit Ortus. Laurie is an amazing coach who has a great eye to see how you move and she offers suggestions for how to improve your movement for injury prevention and/or reducing pain. She can meet you wherever you are in your fitness journey and help you progress to meet - or even exceed - your goals. I have learned so much!

If the clean space and top-of-the-line equipment don't win you over, Laurie the owner (& her pup Oscar) will. Laurie is not your stereotypical CrossFit coach -- she insists you move properly before adding weight and shows you how to do so if you're not sure how.Laurie has an exceptional eye for movement and genuinely cares about people. She has also helped my aging mother (with serious hip & low back issues), who had been seeing osteopaths, personal trainers and athletic therapists for years. In 8 weeks of personal training with Laurie my mom has completely transformed and her hip & low back pain are gone.Laurie is knowledgeable, encouraging, professional, and truly wants the best for everyone who comes through the door.Ortus is what every CrossFit gym should be like.

Laurie is one of the most knowledgeable and professional coaches I’ve ever met. I was in the area for vacation and needed a box to just drop-in but I left with so much more than I was expecting. Not only is the box extremely clean and the weights and equipment are state of the art but Laurie’s skills and coaching helped me improve my form and breathing for my lifts. I’ve been doing crossfit for years and none of my coaches have ever helped improve my form like Laurie in one session. I wish I could call this box my home box, but unfortunately I don’t live close enough. If you’re dropping in or live in the area, I would highly recommend this box! And as an added bonus, they have a cute dog that hangs out at the box sometimes named, Oscar!

Coaching w/ Laurie has made going back to the gym possible & more enjoyable than ever, working in a group towards a common goal from all different starting points is super fun & to have pre-structured workouts I needn't think about or further confuse & imbalance my body in attempting is wildly beneficial. Special attention to & personalized adjustments per a knee Injury make all the difference; Thanks Laurie!

I love CrossFit Ortus. It’s a great environment. The people are awesome and Laurie is just an amazing coach. She focuses on quality over quantity. Laurie makes sure you are doing the movement correctly and safely. Even if you have or had an injury and can’t do a movement she has no problem switching it up for you. It’s just a great place to be.

Laurie is a very knowledgable coach/trainer. Laurie will explain the workouts, and work with individuals at their skill level to help the individual achieve their goals. The people that train at Ortus are at all skill levels and work with each other to make it a comfortable workout environment. The equipment is top notch and kept in great condition. The days and times of the workout vary to help with busy schedules. The app is also a great tool to have on mobile phone to communicate with others as well as see what the upcoming workouts are. It also allows you to check into a class. My experience at Ortus cross-fit has been amazing!

Laurie is an amazing coach! I think she is truly one of a kind. I travel to go to this gym and it is well worth the additional time. She really cares about what she is doing and I am learning a ton. Her approach to the workout is unique, we usually leave feeling energized for the day, not wiped out.She also spends time with us individually to make sure we understand and are doing all of the movements correctly.I have noticed a big difference in my daily life; I move, walk, stand and lift different.You need to see Laurie.
