The community was welcoming and the gym setup was great, with everything you need and more for any workout. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid CrossFit gym! read more

It's intimidating at first, four months in & I still get intimidated by the athletes that come through here, but it's amazing. The people i've met, the results i'm having, and the fun i have are worth it. I love being able to relive stress and have good laughs during a hard workout. i'm always encouraged, usually by the people that intimidate me. it's a great environment. read more

When I first considered starting CrossFit, I was skeptical. It is fairly easy for one to become certified and start his or her gym. My fear was that for someone new to the sport like me, the coaching would be subpar and that injury would be inevitable. At the four week mandatory on-ramp class, I was able to learn the correct form and technique for the various Olympic style lifts common in CrossFit. These lifts are technical and take time to develop - they can't be learned in a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon. The time commitment and dedication CrossFit Fringe coaches put into ensuring their athletes are confident in these lifts is invaluable. With a new facility, supportive community, and highly qualified staff, the caliber of CrossFit experience that CrossFit Fringe offers is unmatched in mid-Missouri. read more

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! read more

I was extremely nervous and intimidated by crossfit before I joined Fringe 2 years ago. I started with the On Ramp class now known as Elements and spent a few weeks learning the movements and after that was thrown into the wolves or so I thought at the time! I was so surprised how flexible the movements were and how easy it was to join the regulars. All that anxiety and intimidation was all in my head! I quickly gained momentum and found myself at the top of the leader board on the Olympic lifts which have become my favorite! I had an injury in July '15 that took me out of lifting for a few months but did not keep me from Fringe. The coaches were AMAZING (Angelo in particular) at finding ways to work around/through my injury and recovery phase. Without their help and expert knowledge I would not be so far down my road of recovery! With my injury I have taken time to evaluate an area I neglected which is nutrition. Recently I have been working with coach Tyler which has been amazing! He has given me an excellent plan that I know will show amazing results! Its all a work in progress and im happy I have found a great place to be a part of not just be a key card punch at the door. The Fringe athletes and Coaches all work together and genuinely care about your success!!! read more
