Try A Class - Now Offered Every Saturday! 
We will be opening up our Saturday 10am WOD as a time for CFK Athletes to bring friends and we will be inviting others who want to try CrossFit to this class!
 
This option will allow you to join our CFK Athletes in a partner WOD 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.  
 
Please call 269-251-1677 or send an email to reserve a spot and please arrive 15 minutes early so you can stretch and complete a waiver.

"Feels like home!" is what our CFK Athletes have expressed about our new location! Work on the new egress doorway started this week.  And soon, the paint will fly, the second rig will be installed and more rubber flooring will be rolled out!!
 

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.
