He carefully watches and corrects form if needed, so no one gets hurt. After every session he takes the time to ask if anyone has questions about goal setting, progress tracking, or nutrition.

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 :)

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.

Prices seem a bit high: $90/month for gym access plus $50 to $160 per hour for personal training…read more Also, when I discussed options on the phone, the trainer used pseudoscience myths like "the hip bone is where excess carbs go" (real science says you cannot target body locations with different macronutrients: https://www.quora.com/Is-the-statement-fat-goes-to-your-thighs-carbs-go-to-your-stomach-true ) and a need to go through a "detox system" (real science says you need to detox only if you have excess actual toxins like alcohol or heroin in your system https://www.vox.com/2014/12/31/7438565/detox ). I would not trust them to guide me into better health if they get these two things wrong without even being asked about them. They were professional, courteous, and called me back immediately after I contacted them. They explained everything on the phone. They could be good trainers for all I know, but the drawbacks above ruled them out for me.

This fitness center allows me to focus on my training because there's no pretense, no need for "cool" workout clothing, age is not a deterrent. My level of fitness and my goals are 100% respected. Unlike most gyms, almost all of the members here actually are on friendly terms and you'll probably be greeted by name at the door. This also holds me accountable to show up and keep me on my health goals. Its so easy to give up but this place gives you that extra push to keep going. I need that and I am so appreciative that this gym and all the staff and members are such good people. Just meet the Owner Jason and you will understand.

This is problematic if you are signed up for a 6:15 am class, check at bedtime, and are still on the waitlist. You must set an alarm for 4:15 am to recheck the waitlist because they charge you $15 if you are dropped in at the last minute. How can you be expected to wake up at 4 am to check the waitlist? This is a poor business practice and seems like double-dipping.
