I feel pretty lucky that this was my first crossfit gym. Can't beat Austin and Ben. Everyone is super friendly and helpful.

Report
I had an opportunity to train with Austin and CFO while in town for the EAA Airshow. The facility was welcoming, as were the regulars. I attended the 5:30a class a couple times and really enjoyed the instruction, the motivation and the camaraderie.
