We strive for every person that steps into our gym to become a happier and healthier version of themselves. We hope to provide them with the best hour of their day, everyday. You’ll hear us say the phrase “Fit to be Free” and what we mean by that is we don’t do the stuff we do in the gym to get better at the gym. We do that stuff to get better at life outside the gym.
Our goal is to allow grandparents to chase their grandkids around a little longer, to make chores around the house seem a little less daunting, and kick ass into your 90’s!
We opened CrossFit AFCO with the belief that everyone- young, old, beginner, elite, recreational outdoor enthusiasts, stay-at-home parent, artist, doctor, writer executive, overweight, injured, pregnant deserved world class athletes.
We are the home for those who believe in the CrossFit methodology, hard work, dedication, responsibility, and the power of community.
Our gym owner is not only dedicated to running their facility, but also is a CrossFit Seminar Staff Trainer sharing their expertise and passion for the methodology with others. This involvement ensures a deep connection to the CrossFit community and a commitment to continuously improving the coaching experience. Additionally, the gym’s team of coaches holds a range of certifications, including L1, L2, and L3, highlighting their expertise and dedication to delivering high-quality training that adheres to CrossFit’s standards. Together, they create a knowledgeable and supportive environment for athletes of all levels.
Our coaching and application is layered on a foundation that is 100% CrossFit.
At CrossFit AFCO, we believe in the CrossFit programming methodology. We don’t sacrifice constantly varied programming because of workout complexity, equipment, movement difficulty, or class logistics. We make it work and our athletes are fitter for it.
We cover a lot in class and utilize every minute. No, we won’t lock the doors five minutes after class starts; however, if you’re late, please assimilate into class by mimicking what you see going on!
The phrase “check your ego at the door” is more than just a saying—it’s a fundamental part of the culture. It’s a reminder that growth comes from pushing your limits, but also knowing your current abilities and working within them. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, CrossFit encourages humility, hard work, and the understanding that progress comes through consistent effort, not comparison.
At AFC, no one breaks down their equipment until everyone has finished the workout. This is a common courtesy that you too will one day benefit from as everyone is last in the workout someday. You can cheer on others, grab a foam roller, or just sit and enjoy the down time, but don’t touch your equipment.
Headphones are for the big box gym and lead to eye contact avoidance and individuals living in their own world. At American Fit Co, we like to talk, connect, and suffer together. Sure, you may not like the music, but if you’re working out hard enough, that shouldn’t be on your mind.
At CrossFit AFCO, children are always welcome to be part of the community, but for their safety and the safety of others, they must stay off the floor during classes. Children are required to stay in strollers or remain in the kids room while parents or caregivers focus on their workouts. This policy ensures a safe environment for everyone while still allowing families to train together and enjoy the supportive atmosphere of the gym.
