WE ARE JUST ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS!

On-Ramp Classes
Our On-Ramp class provides coaching in a smaller group setting and is mandatory for those who are new to CrossFit.
 
This class is programmed to teach you the movements, techniques and lingo and is an hour in duration.  We want to ensure that you have a good foundation built before you jump into our regular WOD!  The cost of this class is $65 (up to 8 classes scheduled over a 2 week period - 5 are mandatory before you move on to a regular WOD)
 
Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday at 8:00 p.m.   If you are not able to attend this scheduled class, we can reschedule as needed & there will be an additional $10 per class for any class done outside of our regular time slot. Call Coach Tim at 269-251-1677 for more information.

Try A Class - Now Offered Every Saturday! 
Our "Try A Class" - Partner WOD is scheduled every Saturday at 10am and it is the perfect class for those interested in CrossFit Kalamazoo to participate and see what we are all about!   
 
Coach Tim programs a Partner WOD that is challenging, intense and is FUN! When you join us for the first time, you will be partnered with a CFK Athlete and you will be encouraged to do it at your pace.  This is a great opportunity to try out a workout at our facility, visit with our CFK community and be a part of the Community that makes CrossFit Kalamazoo so great!  
 
The cost to join this class is $10 (limited to newbies to CrossFit and does not apply to experienced CrossFitters dropping in).  If you sign up for our On-Ramp class, the $10 intro fee will be applied to the cost of the On-Ramp class. After the first class you may still attend the Saturday Partner WOD as a non CFK member by purchasing a $15 Standard Drop-in.
