CrossFit is constantly varied, functional fitness executed at high intensity.

Our CrossFit classes are designed to improve overall strength and power and enhance cardiovascular health. This is achieved through a high-intensity fitness program that combines an array of skills and exercises in each 60 minute session. Our CrossFit programming is deliberately and carefully created to incorporate progressive overload to ensure constant and consistent growth.  

A closer look:

Typically, a CrossFit class includes 10-12 minutes of warming up our bodies, 15-25 minutes to practice a specific skill and roughly 10-20 minutes of a high intensity workout. All class members will meet at the whiteboard at the beginning of class. Your coach will explain and demonstrate the WOD (workout of the day) starting with the MetCon (metabolic conditioning), the strength (skill focus) and finally the warm-up. 

The WOD is written with our top athletes in mind. If a skill or two is beyond someone’s ability, the coach will offer suggestions for scaling or making modifications. That may look like modifying the actually skill (example: utilizing bands to assist with push-ups), modifying the amount of weight used (we have a variety of dumbbell, kettlebell and barbell weights) or changing the number of repetitions (rowing 12 calories vs. 18). 

Above all, our number one goal is safety! Modifying CrossFit skills is practiced by a majority of our members on most workouts. In the CrossFit world there is always room to improve and grow if one allows themself to patiently and effectively practice the hard stuff. Think marathon, not sprint. 

“CrossFit is a lifestyle characterized by safe, effective exercise and sound nutrition. CrossFit can be used to accomplish any goal, from improved health to weight loss to better performance. The program works for everyone—people who are just starting out and people who have trained for years.”

Our CrossFit Kids and Teens classes offer a safe space to learn, fail, and try again - always with a supportive community cheering them on! CrossFit teaches gym safety and etiquette while exploring the world of fitness. It is the sport for young athletes while in between seasons or all year round.

We have daytime and evenings class options for our youngest CrossFit athletes (ages 5-13). This class mimics the layout of a regular CrossFit class with a warm-up, game, skill practice and workout which is typically a condensed version of the regular CrossFit WOD.

Teenagers are encouraged to come to the 3:30 Monday through Friday CrossFit classes. These young athletes will complete the same WOD as adults under close supervision and with help of the coaches to modify any skills for max safety and success.

CrossFit Cardio (formerly called Boot Camp) is endurance training that focuses on calisthenics, core, cardio and light to moderate weight training. The purpose is to use the whole 45 minutes to push limits and work the entire body with only a few built-in breaks in between circuits.

A closer look: 

Our class layouts include a warm-up, workout (or two) and a finisher. The warm-up is meant to get the body moving in the first few minutes and build intensity in preparation for the workout. CF Cardio workouts are typically 10-20 minute AMRAPs or EMOMs and consist of a mix of core, body weight, kettlebell, dumbbell, barbell and cardio machines. The 3-5 minute finisher is meant to lower the heart rate and work individual muscles to produce a quick burn. 

Build the Center, Strengthen Everything

Your core is more than just abs—it’s your body’s powerhouse. From lifting groceries to crushing workouts, a strong core supports it all. In this class, we go beyond crunches to train stability, control, and functional strength that improves posture, prevents injury, and enhances performance in every part of life. Whether you're chasing PRs or just chasing your kids, Core Class helps you move better, live stronger, and feel more connected to your body—literally from the center out.

We have three Core Class options every week:
Tuesdays 11:30am-12:00pm
Tuesdays 5:30pm-6:00pm
Saturdays 8:15-8:45am

How it began…

In early October of 2019, the dream of CrossFit Gratitude was born. Dustin had just had an emergency gallbladder surgery and while still in the hospital announced that he was opening a gym. Julie, his wife, thought he was losing his mind yet supported his passion. On October 21st Dustin started searching for a location for a gym and found that Fuzion Gymnastics (up the hill from the current location) had a back corner available for rent. By December 10th all of the equipment had arrived and the rig building process had begun. Before opening day, however, the gym was relocated to the front of the building and on March 1st, 2020, CrossFit Gratitude was open for business!

With about ten members and two weeks worth of workouts in the books, COVID-19 rocked the world. CFG closed the doors one month after opening. Dustin posted workouts on social media and the members graciously kept the business alive. CrossFit Gratitude quickly outgrew “the closet” and moved down the hill to its current location in May of 2021, just in time for “Murph”.

It is serendipitous that “Gratitude” became the name of this gym. It’s funny how life often takes unexpected turns and twists that do not necessarily align with perfectly laid out plans. As Dustin’s world shifted, so did his mindset. Through much soul searching and reflection, gratitude has become the most important practice in his life.

Gratitude means being grateful for the people around you and the ways they can impact you and you can impact them. Gratitude should be a practice that we strive to make constant in our daily interactions and thoughts.

Our hope at CrossFit Gratitude is that each member finds gratitude to be a central part of their life.

Paying a monthly CrossFit membership sure beats the skyrocketing costs of geriatric care, ongoing medications, and the nursing home bills for the last who-knows-how-many years of your life. A bit dramatic? Maybe. Maybe not. Here's what we know- when a person stops working their body then their body stops working.

You want to be able to walk up and down the stairs when you're older, right? Then come on in and do some box step overs or box jumps.

Do you dream about carrying around your kids and grandkids? Kettlebell swings are just for you.

Want to be able to pick up the laundry basket IN YOUR OWN HOME when you're 80 years old? Deadlifts and squats are calling your name.

Are you afraid of falling when you're older and not being able to get up easily? It's time to do some burpees.

The money, time, and sweat that you invest into your health now will absolutely affect your health in the future. CrossFit is functional fitness through and through.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a monthly women's accountability and goals meeting starting in May! We will be discussing topics like goal setting, nutrition/recipes, sleep health, mental health, women's health and anything else YOU want! This is going to be an evening of open discussion (with a little bit of guidance) to help us all achieve the goals we've been working on. Think of it as a therapy session with workout buddies where you have the freedom to ask questions and learn from each other! We all come from different backgrounds and have tried different things. Let's not gatekeep what works!

This group is open to all women and does not require gym membership to participate. We will meet on Mondays, from 7:00-8:00 pm. Feel free to come to Crossfit Cardio right before the meeting or just come to the meeting if that is what works for you! And bring your mom, sister, friend, coworker, or any other woman in your life who could use some support. See you there!
