I dropped in from NC, where I’ve been coaching CrossFit for 7 years (so needless to say, I have pretty high standards).This box exceeded my expectations. Sam was a great coach, communicated effectively, provided excellent progressions/ scaling options, and brought a very positive, fun energy to class.Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this gym!

Dropped in while I was traveling and felt super welcomed by the class. I'm always a little hesitant when visiting a new gym since coaching and programming varies so much across gyms but I was pleasantly surprised by the intentional programming and coaching here. Very well equipped and clean facility as well. I will definitely drop in again next time I'm in the area.

I was a person who thought I can't do CrossFit I'm not in shape, I can't do all these crazy moves or know half of the CrossFit lingo. Even with all my doubts I went for it anyways and I am so happy I found Fringe. All the coaches are amazing and there to help you every step of the way. Not only are the coaches great but so are the members of Fringe. When I started everyone made me feel welcomed and a part of the team. I just recently started a nutrition plan with Coach Nate and he is helping me navigate my way to a healthier me. If you are looking for a community of amazing people this is the place to go. Highly recommended!!!! ?

I have joined CrossFit Fringe for over a month now. I really enjoyed the time I spent there! Before joining CrossFit Fringe, I didn’t have much weight training experience and had always been hesitating to go to the gym. I always wanted to start regular exercise with good guidance. I felt very welcome after talking to Nate about my concerns and goals during the free intro. I started with four very helpful personal training sessions with Sam. Before attending regular classes. I was worried that I was not able to catch up with other members in the class or finish the listed work out on time. However, Sam and Nate have always been very helpful through the classes. They made sure I got things done correctly and helped me adjust the movements/goals to meet my own limit. The other members of the class were also very friendly and helpful. I am so glad I made the decision to join them!

I’ve been a member at CrossFit Fringe for just over a year now. It’s a well organized facility with excellent staff and an amazing community.My initial orientation and training sessions were a great introduction to the coaches and the movements. The programming is fun and challenging. For someone who is not in peak athletic condition having the opportunity to scale and modify to be able to complete the workouts is awesome and encouraged.I have never felt unwelcomed or judged while at Fringe. The community is supportive and it starts with the example set by the coaches. Support ranges from high fives and positive comments to cheering on during a lift or challenging moment. On more than one occasion a kind word has made the difference between giving up or going for one more rep. Plus - the community comes together to support members in need or going through difficult times.There are plenty of opportunities for additional programming or coaching. Fringe offers a number of workshops and challenge’s throughout the year. I just finished a great nutrition challenge.The coaching staff are awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, supportive, and fun. I haven’t encountered a coach yet who wasn’t welcoming and willing to help when asked.Finally - I have to give a shout-out to Coach Sam. Amazing doesn’t start to describe her. She has pushed when I needed it, but she had also provided tons of support and guidance. Sam knows her stuff (as do all the coaches) and makes the morning workouts fun even when they are challenging.Fringe has something for everyone - from those who are super fit who want to compete to those, like me, who are starting from square one.I highly recommend Fringe for anyone looking for a great gym with an awesome community.

Joining Fringe was the best decision I ever made. It has made such a huge impact on my physical and mental health. I've never been more active or motivated to get in better shape than before I joined. Being part of this uplifting and supportive community kept me determined to continue to my fitness journey.Our entire family has joined since then. Our kids participate in their CrossFit kids program which have also encouraged them to become stronger and improve their skills.The only thing I regret was not hearing about them sooner to join quicker.

I've been coming here for 2 years. I should have written a review two years ago, so here is to making up for lost time.Getting into great shape is going to happen if you join and commit, but that is only part of the story. You will get personalized attention and improve your form in every movement. Even the top athletes and veteran crossfitters get coaching ques. You never stop learning about form and fitness (and nutrition if you so desire). If you have certain goals, the staff will work with you to meet those as well. If you come in with an open mind and determined to make it through an hour you will succeed.What has struck me more than anything is a true sense of community. Now, several organizations use that word flippantly, but it really happens at Fringe. Members forge friendships and celebrate each other's victories, both in and out of the gym. Some days I just go to the gym to see some fun folks, the workout is incidental.Just to clear up a common misconception, you DO NOT have to be a chiseled athlete to walk through the doors. Various fitness levels are present in every class and all are welcome. We are all here to get better and help each other get better.I ditched more traditional gyms 20 years ago due to crowds, cliques, and members mistreating one another. I have seen none of that at Fringe. I walked into the place a skeptic, but my doubts were quickly put to rest by caring coaches and a welcoming and supportive community.

I was a CrossFit member at Fringe for 3 - 4 years. Great leadership team and amazing coaches. Hands down the best CrossFit gym in Columbia. I never participated in a group exercise prior to becoming a member at Fringe. The coaches welcomed me in with open arms and really helped me get my form correct. I highly recommend booking a free consultation with a coach to discuss your goals. They’re going to help you get the results you want.

Coming into Crossfit Fringe I was a little nervous about how my experience would be, however after the first class it felt like home. The coaches are motivating and technique oriented and design workouts that can help individuals at all levels improve. Also the other members, are extremely friendly and welcoming. By the end of the first week everyone knew my name and I knew theirs. Overall great environment and I am glad I joined.

Before committing to my first coaching session I was extremely nervous. I'm almost 40, out of shape and absolutely hate chain gyms because I feel like I am being judged for anything I do. Before stepping foot in CFF I had been in contact with Tyler and Nate, who were so warm and welcoming that it eased some nerves. When I finally went in what I found was not what I expected. The 5:30 class was still in session so I was able to watch individuals of all ages, fitness levels and sizes work together. They were cheering each other on, the coach was 100% involved at helping everyone with proper form and scaling, and they were all getting at it. My son came with me that night because he was interested in the kid classes as well, so Nate bonded with my son by breaking what they do down and why they do it. He took the time to understand what my son was interested in and was able to make comparisons to baseball to break down the "why" for him. During my elements 1x1 coaching session coach Abby broke each movement down to the absolute basic so that proper form and understanding was developed correctly. Was it intimidating? yes. Was it hard? Yes. Did I love every second of it? Yes. Crossfit is hard but what Fringe has done is create an atmosphere where you forget it is hard because everyone is doing it and in the end you are excited about what you have accomplished. If you have ever thought about starting or returning to crossfit Fringe is where its at, forget your fear and get your fitness on!

The coaches / trainers here are super. They're great people, very professional, very knowledgeable. They care about helping you reach your goals and become your best. I've been coming to the Vitality class for almost a year. I don't miss unless I'm out of town because it is such a great class. I worked out on my own before joining the class and the class is so much better than working out on my own. There is a lot of variety in the workouts and I'm much stronger. The coaches tailor the workout to each person's ability. The other people in the class are fun and supportive. If you're looking for a place to work out you should definitely check out CrossFit Fringe!

Crossfit Fringe has been my home away from home for the last 6 years. I never thought I would be a "crossfitter", but everyone is welcomed in this community. I have watched the gym evolve and change for the better over the years.My mental health is better when I am here regularly. Fringe was also was a huge component of my healthy pregnancy and recovery. Thank you!

Cannot speak highly enough about Fringe. My 16 year old son has been going there for around a year and absolutely loves it. We even drive down from Moberly to attend this gym. Great staff, owners, and clients.
