(Cheesy opening line warning) Farmhouse Crossfit changed my…read moreLIFE! If the word Crossfit interests but intimidates you, start HERE! I started workin' on my fitness about 6 years before finding farmhouse. Distance running, spin classes (I even taught them), boot camp classes, pretending I knew what I was doing with weights at a big gym... I was doing fine, but had been craving a new challenge for a while. I had driven by Farmhouse many times and decided to finally give them a call. I have now been a member for a year and have done things I never thought possible. Every class kicks my ass and I love it. The coaches here are amazing and my new buddies at the gym are always there to cheer me on when I struggle. When I miss a class from my regular routine, I'm bummed. You will learn SO MUCH and be pushed to your limits here, and you will feel SO good after. Again, the coaches are amazing. They will constantly be watching and working with you to keep you in the correct form as you learn new movements and increase your weights. With their guidance, you will never run the risk of harming yourself. So, if you are sitting here asking yourself 'is Crossfit for me?'. Yes, it is! Come workout with me at my second home!

Amazing team, from the programming of the workouts, coaching, and stretching afterwards. Farmhouse…read moreis a phenomenal community of members and coaching staff. You'll truly feel like you're spending 60 minutes with close friends while you get your workout on! CrossFit has a reputation for being intimidating and cultish, and Farmhouse is anything but. All workouts are adaptable - all have been written at this time for in-person or at-home workouts. Most coaches have backgrounds in chiropractic health and focus on making sure everyone feels their best. Lance, General Manager, programs week by week and monitors members to see how everyone is feeling. Most gyms 'buy' their programming from somewhere. Drop in for a week and experience an amazing family of folks trying to get their fitness in while living their best lives!

In a word, CrossFit Eden Prairie is AMAZEBALLS…read more I was highly skeptical of CrossFit despite rave reviews from my sister, who has been CrossFitting for over two years -- first in Lincoln, NE, & then with CFEP. I was in the camp of people who had never tried CrossFit, but I was a non-believer any way. Why would I join CrossFit if I can go to LifeTime & lift weights? What about all of those health & wellness articles taking over my News Feed about the risks of contracting rhabdomyolysis from CrossFit? Or what if I go & everyone laughs at me because I can't squat more than a 33lb bar? Embarrassment might be worse than rhabdo! To all of you who also have these thoughts, I say: FEAR NOT. I'm wrapping up the nine-class on ramp this Friday, & I couldn't be more excited to officially become a part of the CFEP community. (I say that now, but after my first WOD & another 100+ burpees, I'll probably be regretting that statement.) CFEP is insanely professional & above all else it values safety. The on ramp has challenged me because many of the movements are new to me, or I'm re-learning exercises that I thought I knew correctly, but in reality I've been doing them wrong on all along. (And as a four year college athlete, that's embarrassing to admit.) Justin has been my on ramp coach & he is a rock star -- friendly, fun, & encouraging. Curt, a co-owner with his wife, makes a point to drop in & cheer for our group in between the work outs that he leads. I think that says a lot that a co-owner makes an effort to check in on his new recruits! Even as a beginner, you are made to feel like one of the family at CFEP. I highly encourage anyone who is even remotely curious about CrossFit to drop in & meet one of the CFEP coaches. They offer two FREE intro classes each week -- Tuesday at 7pm & Saturday at 11am. You have absolutely no reason not to check out CFEP! You'll be welcome with open arms :)

CrossFit Eden Prairie Gym and owners Curt and Anna provide accessible fitness for all people, all…read morelevels of fitness, including people who are not active at all. Egos are checked at the door and this is a supportive and encouraging environment. Among CFEP Gym etiquette is: Personal records are "celebrated as if you just got a new puppy" and no team member is left behind - the workout is not over until everyone is finished. The CFEP trainers are well credentialed, heavily experienced, and biased towards safety, proper form, and scaling a workout to each individual so it is both challenging and safe. Trainers do not sit around talking to their friends - they are constantly monitoring everyone's performance and ensuring all gym members are using proper technique. Many CFEP team members and gym members compete in CrossFit events across Minnesota. Those who are extremely fit, who want to push themselves to be the best they can be and compete with elite athletes will find a community at CFEP who will help them reach their goals. CFEP has a free introduction class that is well worth the hour for all who are curious about CrossFit and are looking for a place to get started.

Last night after the workout, I told her I was excited and proud of myself that I was actually able to catch the ball on the bounce like we're supposed to and she said, "Yes! I saw that! And you did it right!!" I'm grateful for Megan, her leadership and encouragement, and I can't wait for my next class with her. I'm hooked!

In town for work and just wanted to drop in. I ubered to the gym and was met at the entrance when I…read morewalked in by somebody, maybe a coach, idk, that asked if I was here to see somebody and I said no I just wanted to drop in and he said "did you send an email/call?" And I said no, so he said "oh you didn't send an email or anything and just came in" and I said yeah I was just going to drop in. Then he said "yeah Teresa isn't going to let you workout, you have to sign a waiver and pay a drop in fee and it's only open gym now so..." which I know that I have to sign a waiver and pay I was willing to do that, and I didn't care if it was open gym I just wanted to get a workout in. So I just walked back outside and had to call an Uber back to my hotel. I've been doing CrossFit for a couple years and I've been to a lot of different gyms in different areas and 90% of the time the owner/coach is super friendly and I'll get a waiver signed and maybe pay a drop in fee, some gyms don't even do drop in fees because it's just one or two days. I know it's stupid and not a big deal, but it's just irritating because the CrossFit community is supposed to be supportive and tight knit and when shit like that happens it just really irritates me. The guy was just really rude and condescending for no reason and that shit just pisses me off. Maybe the owner is nice but idk

BUT now that I am here I do not care to try to go to a Ninja Warrior Gym. This place is more practical and will eventually translate better to real life. All the coaches are amazing and friendly. I would have never thought I would be the type of person that would enjoy Parkour but after going signing up for the free intro lesson its been amazing and I've made progress in general beginner Parkour skills plus mobility and they even have beginner acro to start learning the basic stuff to eventually do flips. 10000000000 times recommend this place. Come check it out!

ALTR is the first one in the area that reminds me of an NYC-type of gym. Very nice facilities with showers, blow drying stations, etc. - a very nice overall level of amenities. The staff was really nice when we came in and made us feel welcome. The class was in a dark studio that was very well equipped and everything was in good working order - no struggling to find weights or figure out why something isn't working. The instructor was great - motivating, friendly and kept us moving and sweating. The class was definitely a great workout but was not intimidating. The instructor would give alternate movements if you couldn't do a specific exercise. Definitely check it out!

The studio is really clean and aesthetic, it includes some retail, showers, and hairdryers. The class itself was a full body class. I do a lot of workouts so for an experienced workout class goer this was not an especially difficult class. However, it was fun and offered new techniques which I had not tried before. For someone who is not a seasoned workout class goer I highly recommend this class for a well balanced workout.
