Have to throw a plug-in to Jeremy Lang @
Granite city Crossfit. If you’re sick of the crowds and time spent at your local "cattle gyms" and feeling like just another number, let him help you. He does a great job coaching you right, keeping you safe and pushing you when needed. The other members have been nothing but very welcoming to every new student. They have all been where you are at when you start, there is no feeling inadequate as everybody knows there is a huge learning curve to lifting and working out effectively and getting the most out of you. As a coach and parent, I cant afford to get injured by doing something wrong. He starts you out building a solid foundation with an emphasis on doing things correctly before moving on to the next step.
Two things needed in order to be an effective coach. Thanks Jeremy!

I routinely drop in to Granite City CrossFit when I am in town visiting family. Jeremy is a fantastic coach who has a passion for his work. He and his athletes alway make me feel welcome: the sense of community is palpable. I always enjoy the workouts and look forward to the next opportunity I have to drop in.

I’ve been a member since December 23, this is by far the best gym experience I have ever had. When I started looking for a gym I met with the owner Jeremy and he took the time to find out what I was looking for, and the obstacles I was having reaching my goals. Having programmed workouts, Jeremy will adjust them if there are things outside my capabilities. I’m finally excited to get to the gym again, the community is super supportive and welcoming of new members. Highly recommend this gym for people of any fitness level. You will improve yourself going here.

I have been in a gym of various types my whole life, but this was my first time joining a gym with structured workouts. As soon as I walked in to sign up, I knew it was for me. The owner Jeremy is very knowledgeable and motivational. A no nonsense approach during workouts, personable before and after with answers to my many questions. I feel very confident pushing myself and my body knowing he has my back. The daily workouts are always varied, great for avoiding muscular plateaus, and keeping your mind present. Classes are an hour, split between warm up/mobility, strength, and a workout. If you show up to class and put in the effort, I am confident you will very quickly begin to notice many positive differences in yourself. Gaining functional strength and mobility, mental fortitude, and having a little fun while doing it, what could be better?

The owner and coach Jeremy is a fantastic trainer. He makes sure you’re doing the moves safely and with proper form.

In terms of the space and equipment, the box is set up great and your workout goes smoothy.

And whether you’re a pro and just starting, Jeremy makes sure to connect with you and ensure you’re having a good time working out.

If you want to really get challenged and get in the best shape of your life, a come and join GCC. Coach Jeremy will work with you to develop good technique and the workouts will challenge you whether you or an elite athlete doing RX workouts or like me doing scaled workouts. The variety of the workouts and encouragement of the others in the workout make it all worthwhile. Invest in yourself and stick with it and you will be happy with the results.

Joined over 7 years ago and it has been great! With how chaotic my schedule gets Granite City helps get me back on track otherwise it is easy to skip workouts just because you might have missed several days or weeks in a row. Having someone line out and tell me what to do, hold me accountable and tell me how to improve is the way to go. Compared to other gyms and CrossFits the people are amazing and are really why I keep going!

Working out at Granite City CrossFit has changed my life for the better both physically and mentally. The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. Some may think CrossFit may not be right for a woman over 50, but conversely, the HIIT and weightlifting workouts CrossFit is comprised of are optimal for building and maintaining muscle mass and bone health. Workouts are tailored to meet everyone where they are at, but always challenging and empowering. Highly recommend coaches Jeremy and Cheryl and Granite City CrossFit.

I didn’t know anything about CrossFit or weight lifting before joining. They always take care of you and make you feel safe during the exercises. I’m currently 6 months pregnant and it has helped me so much to stay active and I always leave the gym feeling better and with less pain.

8 years and still loving it! No matter the time you choose, the coaches and other members will make you feel like one of the gang.

The facility is kept clean and the equipment in good shape. Things are well organized, no hunting around for what you need, everything is there and ready to go.

Different workouts everyday which mean you don't get bored. You are constantly challenged so you keep seeing results which will keep you motivated.

Small classes mean the coach is available to everyone and keeps an eye on your progress. Unlike a large gym a coach is always there watching to make sure you are safe, and getting the results you are looking for. Coach Jeremy has a passion for fitness and people which really shows.

If you want to improve your fitness, there's no better place in the St. Cloud area.

Newer to the CrossFit world it was a little intimidating to visit another box while on some work trips. I reached out via email for some details and received an immediate welcoming response. From my first email to my 7th visit Jeremy, Cheryl, Kat and the entire 5am crew were very friendly motivating and welcoming. I looked forward to going back every trip. It was a very positive environment where you were made to feel comfortable no matter what level you were at. I will stop in every time I am in town for good WOD. Only downfall would be that I didn’t check in earlier.

I worked out at Granite City Crossfit for 2 months over the summer and LOVED IT. The coaches were super knowledgeable and always willing to patiently answer my questions, so I left after two months feeling fitter and like I know more than when I arrived. I also love the emphasis they place on warm ups, which made me more confident about pushing myself in workouts without fear of injury. Finally, the gym was super positive and friendly. I was surprised that even though I was only visiting for a limited time people made an effort to get to know me.
Thanks for a great time, Granite City!

I dropped in to Granite City while visiting family for the holidays. Jeremy fosters a strong community feeling, all while maintaining high standards for his athletes. I immediately felt welcome: it was a partner workout and Jeremy invited me to do it with him. He also spent several minutes after class getting to know me. The workout was challenging but enjoyable. If I lived in St. Cloud, this would be my Crossfit gym, no questions asked.

I was recently a guest. The staff was very welcoming, it was a low intensity (mostly mobility day). The other fitters were open with banter and jesting at each other. The group dynamic was great.

We want to thank Jeremy Lang and the coaches at CrossFit for their work with our son and daughter. They started Crossfit with Jeremy in May 2017, and have attended classes 3-5 times a week since then. Both are more physically and mentally prepared to reach their athletic goals, which include playing college athletics. Jeremy is constantly pushing them to reach their goals.

It’s extremely evident that Jeremy promotes high goal-setting and wants nothing less than to achieve them. No-nonsense philosophy.

I have been going to Granite City CrossFit (GCC) for 4 years and the coaches are superb. The programming is well planned from mobility work to warming up, to the workout. The coaches explain all movements clearly, provide great feedback to improve & will modify exercises according to individual needs. I have been to several CrossFit boxes while traveling & some have been great with similar quality but others have been subpar. The poor experiences made me realize how much I appreciate the quality of training & cleanliness of GCC.

Fantastic Box! I dropped in while I was working in the area and could not say enough good things about Jeremy and his team. My work takes me all over North America and Granite City is hands down one of the best places to train at. They differentiate themselves from the majority of affiliates by the following reasons:

1) Coaching – The level of coaching is some of the best I have seen; not only from an emphasis on technique but also from a behavior and mindset standpoint
2) Programming – They put thought into their programming! Which is something you don't see very often, unfortunately
3) Emphasis on Mobility – I have never been at an affiliate that has so much focus on mobility. This is such a differentiating factor that I wish more boxes would follow

A must! Especially if you are starting off Crossfit for the first time

I was going to join their new you challenge and was super excited about it! Some things came up and I had to cancel before the class started. I had written a check and dated it for my next payday. I had asked them to cancel my spot because of some things that had come up. The next day I find out my $250 check had been cashed. I texted him and he had said he didn't realize it was me even though we had texted before. I called him and now have to wait a week to get my money back because he didn't realize it was me, even though I had asked him to cancel my spot. If it were 50 dollars, I wouldn't be nearly as upset. He forgot it was me, but didn't forget what date he could cash my check on. Says he hasn't talked to me in 4 weeks, which is why he forgot, but it's been a week and a half. I would have told Jeremy all of this when I went to pick up my check, but my check was taped to the door on the outside of the building. So he didn't even give me the courtesy of expressing my frustrations
