I joined CrossFit Final Duel a month ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made! The gains and improvements in just a few weeks have been incredible—physically and mentally. What really sets this place apart is the community. The morale here is unlike anything I’ve experienced before—supportive, motivating, and truly uplifting.
Donna is an absolute inspiration. Her leadership, patience, and dedication to teaching are unmatched. She takes the time to ensure you’re learning proper form and pushing yourself the right way. I feel lucky to be part of such a positive and empowering environment. Thank you, CrossFit Final Duel!

I don't know how these coaches manage to make sweating and lifting heavy things feel like a warm hug, but somehow they do.
I decided to try CrossFit about two months ago. After several years of working out on my own, I wanted to join a community that would push me harder than I would push myself. I knew CrossFit would do this, and I was lucky enough to find Final Duel. This gym has so many positives including:
1. A culture of positivity and friendliness. From day one, I felt welcome. People acknowledged me when I arrived, were friendly during warmups, and encouraged me during workouts. Donna, the owner, is the foundation of this culture. She is always upbeat and has a kind word for everyone.
2. Clear instructions. There is no guesswork about what we are doing or how to do it. Each class starts with an overview of the workout of the day (WOD), which is posted on a screen and on whiteboards. Then we are led through a group warmup, which includes instructions on how to do each of the movements that will happen during the WOD. While we are in the middle of the workout, the knowledgeable coaches offer encouragement and corrections on form to increase efficiency and avoid injury.
3. Clean gym and equipment that is in good condition.
4. Many options for class times, though if you go at the same time consistently, you get the benefit of feeling like that class is your special team.
5. Tech that enhances the experience. A big screen TV displays the WOD near the entrance. You can check in and log your workouts via two different apps. One app posts the WODs for the upcoming 3 days, allows you to log the results of your workout (weights and times), and see other gym members’ results. The other app allows you to book your next workout, see who the coach will be, and see who else is signed up for the session. The gym is also active on social media, and it’s nice to see badass photos of you and your gym buddies killing it during a workout (or sometimes looking like you’re on the verge of collapse)!
6. Bumpy, the owners’ dog, who accompanies them to the gym. Definitely makes it a better experience for me and anyone who likes dogs!
I can't say enough good things about Donna and the rest of the CrossFit Final Duel team. In fact I can't say anything because I'm completely out of breath from the workout we just did. It’s great!

I joined the CrossFit Final Duel community at the end of 2024, with the goal of setting a consistent workout routine and get stronger. The CFFD community has been welcoming, fun, and supportive.

Starting CrossFit can be intimidating but I felt so welcomed at this gym! Donna builds an amazing environment and I enjoy seeing the members here every day. What I love most is that everyone can get what they need whether that’s a scaled workout or a push to do more. I am so happy I joined this gym!

I have been at CrossFit Final Duel for just over a year now. One of the best decisions I have ever made! They accept you no matter what workout experience you have. All the coaches are so helpful. I can't say enough great things about it!

CFFD is the most welcoming CrossFit gym I’ve ever been to… due to my in-office job requirements, I am not always able to make it there, but there is never any judgment. Donna is a wonderful person and patient coach, and the CFFD community is welcoming and supportive. I have tried other CrossFit gyms, and each time found that because I’m not a “regular,” I’m left feeling somewhat judged, and certainly not a part of the community. I always leave a workout at CFFD feeling better about myself than when I nervously walked in the door- and feeling like I belong, even if I have periods where my schedule only allows me to get there a few times a month. Best CF community, coach, and experience I’ve had, by far.

I had always wanted to try CrossFit, but was hesitant to to join a gym in fear of getting injured. I researched some local boxes and thought Final Duel would be the best one in my area to try based on reviews. From the moment that I reached out, Donna kindly addressed my concerns and even told me that I should try several classes before I make the decision that I would like to join. That was nearly a year ago and since then, I have become a part of a community that is second to none. This gym is full of outstanding people of all fitness levels. They all do their best, show up with a smile, and encourage each other. Not only has CrossFit Final Duel helped me improve my fitness, but my overall attitude in life, and it has helped me to meet some great people. Donna and Eric have always been great and I always look forward to my next visit and workout. Highly recommend!

CrossFit Final Duel gave me a place where I could be myself and face my goals head on while feeling supported and never judged. I hit milestones that I thought impossible. People I didn’t know cheered for me. This place has magic within its walls that pulls an amazing group of people to its doors. Community has never felt so real until I came to CrossFit Final Duel.

CFFD is a great place! The community that Donna has provided is incredible! We all support one another, and welcome new faces with a smile and encouraging words. When having a good day, this is the place to go. When having a bad day, this is the place to go. You will not want to leave after you join the community.
