The only reason I tried CrossFit is because it was included with my $40 YMCA membership before we moved.
In the real world, CrossFit isn’t quite accessible. I’ve tried a few CrossFit gyms in the cities and they’re all going to cost you quite a bit more than the Y. That being said, what I’ve gotten out of this membership is wild. If you can swing it’d you absolutely should.
I had a tiny human in April and I didn’t want to DIY my way back into feeling like myself again (physically or mentally). When I saw that Coach Lexi is a PT who specializes in pregnancy/postpartum/pelvic floor issues I knew I had to give Kôr a shot.
It’s wild how family friendly this place is. People ask me how on earth I workout 4+ times a week (especially in the newborn stage) and I just get to say, “I just bring her with”. Seriously, if she was not having it a coach would hold her. They have swings, bouncers, play area ect. Did a few workouts get cut short by blowouts? Yep. Was that a little sad? Yep. Am I still glad I showed up on those days? Absolutely.
There are kids here all the time and it’s awesome. The coaches are fabulous and the environment is welcoming to everyone. If you can make it work, it’s absolutely worth it.

This gym!!! These coaches! What a place to be! I happen to be writing this review on Thanksgiving Day and I really couldn’t be more grateful for Kor! I have benefited so much from the group classes, working out with a community instead of alone, while also being coached by knowledgeable people who truly have my personal goals and needs at the forefront! No intimidation, no one size fits all. Just fitness to keep me healthy and strong in my fifties and beyond!

Kor is not like other Crossfit gyms. They meet you where you are. They're for anyone from the everyday athlete to the competitive athlete. As someone who struggles to fit in, I immediately felt comfortable working out in class because all bodies and skill levels are represented here, and they're all doing amazing things. Scaled options are just part of the program, which is not something I experienced at other Crossfit gyms. I did not expect to find such an accepting community when I decided to do Crossfit again. It's more than just a place to workout!

I was at a different gym for 2ish weeks before realizing that I am just not enjoying it as well as I thought I was. I got a job change, and so I couldn't go anymore and I tried to find an alternative, which is where I found KOR.
I had no crossfit experience prior to this so I was a little nervous of making a fool of myself because of how competitive I am as a person and I knew from class 1 that I would be staying here. It has now been 18 weeks since my first class and I still leave work excited for class :)
The varying skill levels at each class really helped me not feel so shy about failing or looking stupid and programs are designed to have modifications to fit everyones levels, which helped out SO MUCH when I started. Pairing this with the passion the coaches have for wanting you to give it your all, no matter what the exercise is, makes it such an amazing environment.
No matter who is in the class, they breakdown the movements like everyone in class is a day 1 and honestly that is so helpful, even for me, who has had decent lifting exposure. I have learned so much from those instructions than I ever would have when I did strength training on my own.
I think what really makes KOR standout from the rest is the community it builds off of this shared interest of the members.
There was a certain day we did a very intense program and I thought for the first time at KOR, I would not finish very well. I was mentally checked out, running on autopilot just begging for it to be done. When it came time to the final part, with 2 minutes left in the time cap, I look up to see my coach, and 3 other members who had finished yelling encouragements at me while they looked on, trying to get my to push myself. This immediately flipped my mental switch and I believe I finished with 7 seconds to spare, unable to catch my breath. As I laid there, the coach came up to me and patted me on the shoulders, saying " I am so proud you finished" and then almost instantly, all the fatigue left my body and I held my head high knowing I gave it my all instead of quitting.
KOR will help you reach farther than you ever thought possible, and I am thankful for it. Love this place.

I've been a member here for over six years. The quality of coaching is the best I have seen. The community is inclusive and diverse. I work as a family nurse practitioner, and cannot express enough, the value of Crossfit, community, and outstanding/safe coaching. Weight lifting is one of the best ways to keep our bones strong (prevent osteoporosis) and build our lean skeletal muscle mass. Everything/movement here is modifiable-there is no need to be scared-no one here judges you-ONLY encouragement. I am a proud member of this community! I appreciate what this gym has done for me. My 2 adult children also attend the gym and my husband has recently joined the legends class.
Fitness is apart of our everyday life. It has allowed us to use our functional fitness we have gained through the gym with enjoying hiking some magnificent places, traveling, participating in 1/2 marathon, spartan trifecta, tough mudder and so many more fun adventures. Keep moving! Building strength is possible as we age and a necessity!

Joining KOR has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health and well-being. From day one, the coaches have been nothing short of amazing - deeply knowledgeable, incredibly supportive, and truly committed to helping every member succeed. The coaches meet you exactly where you are at and help you build from there, without judgement - only encouragement.
And the community? Absolutely incredible. It is inclusive, supportive, and welcoming. No matter your age, experience level, or background, you are embraced from day one. People cheer you on, celebrate your wins, and lift you up on the tough days. You truly feel you belong.
If you are looking for a gym that pushes you to be your best but also surrounds you with amazing people who care - this is the place.

This is a long overdue of a review. I did a drop in class at the end of June. This gym is one of the most well equiped gyms I have ever been to, the facility was massive and the equipment was very clean and well maintained. On top of that the coaches were great and the community was very welcoming. This is a gym I would love to come back to.

There is not enough time in the day to write a review that encompasses how AMAZING Kor Fitness is! I was searching for a way to find myself... and I did, and so much more!
I was so nervous when I started, but realized there are so many levels of athletes at Kor, from beginners to seasoned athletes. Everyone is in the same class, and everyone cheers everyone on! We all do the same workout, some like myself, scale the workout, while others perform it as written. It is really what you want to get out of it!
The coach led classes are a fantastic way to learn CrossFit, challenge yourself, take the guess work out of working out, and have SO MUCH FUN!
The coaches at Kor are so fun, yet know when I am capable of more, but have never pushed me too far! I love that they believe in me and celebrate in my wins! They even check in with me outside of the gym... they are seriously invested in their members!
The goal review sessions with my coach (that are included with a membership) have helped me stay focused on things I want to learn or certain things I want to achieve. It's so fun to see the difference in my body type between sessions and body scans.
The gym itself is a BA hidden gem in Newport and is well cared for and extremely clean!
The gains have been HUGE! And not just muscle gains... even though there has been those! I have found something that brings me joy, that I do for myself, and honestly makes me a happier person! I have made friends that I now see outside the gym! It truly is such a wonderful community to be a part of!
The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner!!!

I've been attending personal training 3x/week for six months now. There is nothing not to like about KFP. The trainers are amazing (and FUN), as they create a vibe that is so understanding and caring, just an all-round outstanding community at KFP. I look forward to each of my training sessions, always eager to know what my trainer has in store to challenge and push me at each sesh. Never disappointing! I feel stronger and look forward to the future and growing even stronger with the KFP crew! Don't sleep on this gym....get up and show up, promise you will be so happy with your decision. 😊💪💯💥

Just hit my 100th class at KFP, and what an amazing way to spend 100 hours! This place has been a game-changer for my mental health, an hour to step away, turn off my brain, and focus on me. The coaches, the community, and the variety of workouts has helped me grow stronger, more confident, and more capable in everyday life. I’m a better version of myself for my family, especially my two little girls, and that’s my biggest why. So grateful for this space!

I started going to this gym 10 months ago after my brother dragged me to buddy week… and I never looked back. This place is truly for everyone and anyone on their fitness journey- and since I started, it has completely changed my life.
I quickly learned that KOR has top-notch coaches who do a great job in keeping everyone safe while fostering a welcoming and family-like culture that has kept me hooked. I have been able to set and achieve many goals, including my nutrition goals, too. I came for the CrossFit classes and soon joined in on the nutrition coaching that KOR offers. The nutrition coaching has been tailored meticulously to my needs and I’ve been able to learn how to fuel my body properly- which led me to smashing my first marathon!
Since my brother brought me along for buddy week 10 months ago, the rest of our family has also joined due to the amazing coaches, fellow athletes, and great workouts we get to do.
I can’t recommend this place enough- whether you’re looking for a solid CrossFit gym or want to start or continue your nutrition journey- you have a place here.

Kor has truly been a highlight of our time in Minnesota! From the very first day, I’ve felt incredibly welcomed, supported, and encouraged. I walked into Kor just over four months after Achilles repair with little to no CrossFit experience, and never once did I feel like a workout wasn’t tailored to meet me where I was on my fitness journey.
The community at Kor is absolutely unmatched, and the coaches are top-notch. Braedan and McKay go above and beyond in genuinely caring for each athlete and coach, creating a culture that makes Kor not just a gym, but a truly special place.

This place is definitely way more than just a gym to me. It produces stronger, wiser and unbreakable humans.
I recently hit my 500 classes. I have found myself to be fitter, stronger and determined to push myself more and more each day. It's only possible when there are supportive, knowledgeable coaches and an amazing community behind you! Full 10/10.

Just shy of a year into being a member, and this gym has literally changed my life. I’m just over 200 classes in, much stronger, leaner and happier! 2/3 of my children have also joined in on the fabulous journey of a fitness lifestyle. The team at KOR is unmatched in education, training, compassion and just a sprinkle of aggression. You will not be disappointed if you come to “party”

KÔR has given me an outlet mentally and physically! I have a “peopling” job that can be overwhelming at times. Worth it, but overwhelming. The coaches at the gym allow you to enter in whatever state of mind you are in but help you get to that better place by the time you leave.
The encouraging atmosphere gives me the accountability and the healthy push I need. The music helps change my energy but more importantly the coaches boost the positive energy and help me leave better than I arrived.
I had been attending a gym for years, even before KÔR. I was fit before but I have to say I am stronger now. I have lifted differently than I did in the past. I have used muscles differently and challenged my brain to see weightlifting and gymnastics as something I can do! I no longer allow my age to define what I can or cannot do; lift or cannot lift. I am stronger physically and mentally.
Reaching 500 classes is pretty cool because I did it for me. I choose everyday to do hard things and be a little better than the day before.
Thank you KÔR for helping me be unbreakable!

I joined KFP at age 44 after 10+ years of relative inactivity. Over that time I wasted plenty of months not using my standard gym membership. Before KFP, I had no experience with lifting or gymnastics. Immediately I enjoyed classes enough to keep going. After 6 months, I’m feeling better, looking better and far stronger than I’ve ever been. I’m still having fun, and I’ve still got a long way to go. It’s fun to think about where I’ll be in a year or two. The instruction, encouragement, and KFP community makes it easy to keep going.

For the short amount of time I was able to go to Kor fitness I found that all of the trainers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the courses. They provided beneficial modifications and guidance on exercises outside my ability. Trainers went above and beyond by checking in with me following especially difficult sessions later that same day by text. The app Kor uses is easy to use shows how many people have signed up for the course and how the instructor will be.

This gym is absolutely top-notch! From the moment you walk in, you can tell it’s a special place. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, and they’re always there to motivate and push you to your best. The workouts are the perfect balance—challenging but fun, making every session something to look forward to.
The community here is amazing—so welcoming and supportive. For instance, I’ve always struggled with finding a partner for workouts, but today, I had TWO people ask me, which is a 200% increase in just one day!
What really stands out, though, is the ownership. McKay and Braeden are hardworking, fun, and they have a clear vision for helping everyone grow and succeed. The gym is lucky to have them, and it shows in the positive, energetic atmosphere they’ve created.
A huge bonus for me is the kids’ room—it’s such a great touch that makes it easy for families to be a part of the gym. The family-friendly vibe here makes all the difference.
Overall, this is by far the best gym in the area. I can’t recommend it enough!

I am so grateful for my experience at Kor. As a person who used to feel intimidated about going to the gym, I can say that Kor has completely changed this for me. All of the members are so supportive and everyone is celebrated for their own level of achievement. Each coach has been kind and welcoming- the passion for helping others grow is abundant. They even go the extra mile to keep up with you outside of the gym and check in when you might need it, just to give the extra motivation to get back in. Going to the gym is no longer about wanting to be the most “fit,” but to get a little better each day and feel stronger. For all that I have learned so far and the confidence I have gained, I am thankful to Kor and the community they offer.

This place is amazing! I started coming to Kor 3 years ago, and I absolutely love it. The coaches are fantastic—so supportive—and the community is truly one of a kind. Everyone is always cheering each other on and offering support.
I grew up playing sports and staying active, but somewhere in my 20s, I lost my way. Thankfully, some great friends encouraged me to give it a try. After just one class, I was hooked! Now, 500 classes later, I couldn’t be happier!
Kor welcomes people at all stages of fitness, providing the tools and motivation to help us become the best versions of ourselves. It’s so rewarding to be challenged and to push ourselves to do things that once seemed impossible. I highly recommend Kor Fitness! Here’s to another 500!!🤘

Yes, KOR has your typical crossfit athletes and they are quite impressive and give you something to strive for. And that might feel intimidating at first. But the truth is, more often than not, those that are scaling the workouts give this gym the most to cheer for and have the most wins and it is incredibly inspiring! Every day! Everyone at different skill levels are working together as a community and it's the most beautiful thing you could ever experience in your life. I'm speaking loudly to the people in the back!! Especially the old or young, overweight or too skinny, or the timid or even if you have never exercised once in your life or it's been 10 or 20 years, this place is for everyone! Even kids! The support KOR has for families is literally unheard of and seems unbelievable when you see all that they do. 3 years and 500 classes later these are the 5 things I have to share. 1st, Attendance is the most important. Consistency is what matters over everything. 2nd, don't cherry pick your workouts. Scaling is your friend. Whatever intensity you are doing just know that it never gets easier for anyone, but everyone continues to get stronger and crush workouts and become better versions of themselves. My first day I couldn't even lift a bar and so much has changed so drastically for me. 3rd, is leave your ego or bad attitude or whatever troubles you have at the door. Create a habit of letting this space and time be for you. I promise you will leave so much better than you began and will always want to come back for more. 4th, the COACHES AT KOR ARE THE BEST YOU WILL EVER FIND. Read that again! You will develop a constant gratefulness for your coaches and those by your side. 5th, with so many different pressures we have in life, FIND YOUR WHY AND DO IT FOR YOU! My love for KOR and the people I share with it runs deep 💖 Come join us!

I started my CrossFit journey at this gym 3 years ago because the early morning classes worked for my schedule. I stayed with this gym because of the fantastic coaches who are always encouraging and knowledgeable in modifying movements for whatever level you need. I love this gym because of the supportive members who are pushing alongside you and cheering you on. This is a place where you can challenge yourself and it's safe to fail, or you might rise to the challenge and be amazed at what you can do. Either way, I always feel better afterwards and ready to take on the rest of the day!

KOR is the place to be!🙂🖤💛 I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2015 and I have been a member at multiple CrossFit gyms. My husband, Spencer, and I joined KOR in 2021 and I’ve got to say, KOR takes the cake!🎂
The community is the best of the best.😍 The moment you walk in the doors, you’ll never feel alone as everyone wants to be your friend!☺️ I can’t promise you won’t get asked 20 questions about yourself!🙃 People encourage you to push to your best potential and fun fact: you’ll never finish a workout alone!🙌🏻😊 Having people cheering you on means so much and that community support makes you come back for more! Also, this community cares so much about your life outside the gym too.🫶🏻
The programming is so versatile and I feel every day we are working on something different.💪🏻 It’s a good combination of strength, cardio and my fav-gymnastics.🤸 The coaches are always watching, helping you get better and giving you pointers, like getting your knees out when lifting…😉 Also, the coaches do a really great job at making sure everyone is doing things safely and they help find the right modifications to make the workout worthwhile and fun!👏🏻
Personally, seeing as I’m pregnant with my second child, KOR has helped me so much in my pregnancies and my first postpartum recovery.🙂 I was able to stay consistent, working out 4 days before delivery with our first and had a fast and smooth labor and delivery!🙌🏻 Coming back postpartum felt seamless too. I’ve never felt stronger than I do right now being pregnant for the second time and it’s a true testament to the programming, both during pregnancy and postpartum, and the coaches listening and helping me stay healthy and strong while growing a human!💪🏻🤰🏼
Thank you, KOR, for being such a welcoming, encouraging, safe, family friendly and fun gym!☺️ The owners are incredible and put their heart and soul into what they do here.🖤💛 You will not be disappointed when you enter the doors!🙌🏻 Can’t wait to have our daughter, Charlotte, join one day and our future babe too!😊

Joining Kor Fitness has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I stepped through their doors, I felt welcomed and valued. The coaches are absolutely phenomenal each one brings incredible energy, expertise, and genuine care for every person who walks in. They don’t just guide you through workouts; they truly see you and meet you where you are, whether you're a seasoned athlete or someone stepping out of their comfort zone for the first time.
For me, Kor has been so much more than a gym. It’s been a place of transformation. Kor gave me an outlet, a community, and a renewed sense of purpose.
The workouts are dynamic and challenging, but they’re also designed with care and attention to individual needs. The coaches make you feel capable of tackling anything while ensuring that you’re safe and confident in every movement. It’s not just about lifting weights or breaking a sweat it’s about building confidence, resilience, and a community that uplifts one another. They celebrate your victories, no matter how big or small, and create an atmosphere of positivity that makes you want to show up for yourself every day.
Thanks to Kor, I’ve rediscovered a part of myself I didn’t realize I was missing. I feel stronger, healthier, and more connected not just to my body but to a group of incredible people who inspire me every single day. Kor Fitness isn’t just a gym; it’s a family, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of it.

I've been a member of KOR CrossFit for two years now, and I can honestly say it's been an incredible experience. From day one, the gym has been nothing short of amazing. The amenities are endless—there’s always plenty of space to work out, and the gym is stocked with the best and most modern equipment, including racks, weights, and all the extra essentials like branded gear and supplements you could possibly need.
What sets KOR apart, though, is the community. The coaches and ownership are deeply invested in not just the physical development of each member, but also in building a supportive, positive environment. KOR fosters a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for everyone. It's a true melting pot of people, where everyone is accepted, encouraged, and empowered to reach their goals.
The energy here is contagious, and it’s clear that everyone, from the coaches to the members, is dedicated to making each other better.
If you're looking for a gym that offers not just a place to work out, but a community to thrive in, KOR is the place to be. Highly recommend!

I’ve been at KFP for a few months now. I had never done CrossFit before and decided I needed more consistency and accountability and just a different environment than what I’ve tried before. It’s so simple you can show up the workout is already planned, the coaches are absolutely amazing and have an athlete first mentality. Classes feel like a big team and we’re all there to work next to each other not against each other. We end every class with high fives and good jobs and it’s so motivating to have motivated people around you cheering you on! Absolutely recommend to anyone considering!

From my very first day at KOR almost 3 years ago, I felt an immediate sense of belonging. Braeden, McKay, Alison, Lexi, Bekah and Sarah are more than just coaches; they are mentors who truly invest in your journey, celebrating every small victory along the way. The members are like family, always cheering each other on and creating a warm, supportive environment that makes every workout feel like a fun gathering. I’ve made incredible friendships here and have grown stronger, both physically and mentally. This place isn’t just a gym; it’s a community that feels like home!

After 2.5 years of membership, and 500 KFP CrossFit classes, this gym has definitely become a home away from home. The programming, coaching, nutrition support and community here is top notch. Kor has made a life long impact on me both mentally and physically. If you don’t know where to start on your fitness journey, if you have been working out your whole life, if you’re looking for a new space or a new type of fitness, or just wanting to try something different, Kor has a place for you. 10/10 recommend.

This gym is one of a kind, from the coaching staff, programming and the community!! This gym is more than a place to change our physique, it’s a place to transform our mindset. It has taught me discipline, consistency, patience with myself and persistence. For me it’s an escape for one hour (or two) from the stress of daily life. Whether I’m anxious, frustrated, upset or sad, as soon as I enter and see the friendly faces and start the workout all that disappears and I can focus on improving my mental and physical self! Mostly I love that this has become a routine for our family for the last 3+ years, including our daughter who participates in kids CrossFit classes. It teaches her that exercise is good both mentally and physically and that it’s cool for girls/women to be strong and lift heavy! Best gym around!

What a great community. The coaches are above average. The space is huge. Their equipment is above average. Great to see owners invested in the success of their members and the future of their business. Definitely a thriving business with lots to offer members. Worth every penny

Starting at a new gym is never easy and after only being to one CrossFit gym before had me nervous. Everything from the programming to the coaching to the community is exceptional. I am very, very happy to be a part of the KÔR members 💪🏽

KOR is wonderful. The facility is clean, the owners and coaches are knowledgeable and welcoming, and the people working out were all so nice.
I loved that the workouts are different every day, the outdoor running is fun, and all the weight lifting options can’t be beat.
It seems to have a low key, “everyone works out hard together” mentality, which keeps a positive environment and made me want to keep going. It was fun to be part of their class, plus my arms and shoulders were sore for about a week…in a good way! As a runner and avid gym goer for the past 25+ years, I’m so glad I got to take my first CrossFit class at KOR!

I have been to a couple of CrossFit gyms over the years and none compare to KOR. There is not a more comfortable place to learn and grow as an athlete. The coaches meet you where you’re at skill-wise and have the knowledge to help you grow.
I am incredibly grateful for this gym and the community within it.

I love this community with a wide variety of people at different levels of their fitness goals.
This last week, I was working 55 more hours at work then I usually work. I was tired and didn’t want to go out of the house, but I decided to go to the gym anyway. I am so grateful I went!
That day, I accomplished a knee high box jump and climbed a rope 3/4 of the way from the ground to the ceiling of the gym. It was such a rush and exactly what I needed that week!
Thank you Kor Fitness Team!
Much Care,
Lori

I joined KFP Crossfit six months ago because I needed a push beyond my basement dumbbells. The variety of workouts is endless, as I have not done the same workout twice in those six months. Was I initially scared of the term "Crossfit?" Definitely. But it only took one class to realize that KFP Crossfit meets you where you're at and never stops setting you up for small wins. Day after day, week after week, those small wins stack up to increased confidence in my every day life beyond fitness, and that is priceless. My mind and body can do hard things and EVERY PERSON at KFP reminds me of that every morning at 6:15.

I have been at KOR for about a year now and I wish I would have done this way sooner. These coaches are amazing, they will meet you where you are and then push you to be better. They offer all levels of training in each workout. They teach that movement is medicine so even if you aren't 100% on a given day or are recovering from an injury they will give you a modification so you can participate.
This is a great mix of all type of athletes from elite to beginning and there is zero intimidation factor. Everyone cheers everyone on and there is a healthy spirit of competition here that is infectious. It makes you want to try hard things.
I have gotten so much stronger in one year and I can't wait to see what I can accomplish moving forward. Come join us!

It doesn’t matter if you are an accomplished athlete or if you’ve never set foot in a gym, the coaches will ensure you are getting the best workout for YOU.

From out of town and wanted to do a drop in class at a CrossFit gym. Was nervous not knowing anyone but went in and the coach Lexi, was awesome! And also met some great people in the class.
If I lived here I would be going all the time. Great people, supportive environment, and beautiful facility.
Also quick online responses and great customer service.

I have been a part of this gym for 2 1/2 years. The day I walked in I knew I was home. Durring this time they have quadrupled in size both physical location and number of members. As they grow they have not wavered in the quality of personal attention, programming, or coaching. If you are looking for a place to workout and have a ton of fun doing it this is the place to be. I came for the workout but stayed for the community, coaches and owners.

Since coming here, my body has grown stronger and healthier. At my age, that is worth the world! I am so thankful for Braeden and how many years he has coached and pushed for my progress. If you are looking for a gym to call home, this is the one. Become unbreakable. I hit 500 classes this week and can’t wait for the next 500!

I joined KOR over two years ago. I’ve been to many gyms over my 10 year journey with CrossFit, and this is by far the best gym I’ve ever joined! These people are truly the best! The coaches are excellent and they will work with you every day to make sure you achieve your goals. It doesn’t matter your age or body type, they’ll find a way to help your body perform to its optimal ability. I’d recommend this gym to anyone and everyone who wants to change their lives. Everyone here will welcome you and treat you like family. A true treasure in Newport, MN.

What an awesome gym! Highly recommend!
First: this is a CrossFit gym and the workout is going to push you. That said, the community was a great mix of scaled, intermediate, and Rx athletes. The coaches were super supportive of my wife and I as we tried CrossFit for the first time in quite some time.
Second: Super clean facility. Everyone contributed to clean up but the bathroom, shower, equipment, and even the entrance was well organized and cleanly.
Third: I’ll go back to the community and comment on how awesome everyone was. We were immediately greeted by one of the coaches when we walked in looking a bit lost. Everyone was welcoming and excited to interact with us being so new. CrossFit can be a bit intimidating but the entire community made it incredibly easy for us to feel at home.
OVERALL: cannot wait to return!!

I’m in town visiting family and dropped in to KFP after a horrible experience at a CrossFit box in Woodbury. The owner and the coach during my class were SO welcoming, friendly and outgoing. They were so knowledgeable and helpful and it was exactly the type of workout I had hoped for. I can not speak highly enough of them!!
Very clean gym, too!!!

I joined KOR over a year ago and loved every moment of it. Each coach brings something different to the table. They all are personable and want nothing but the best for their members. They continued to push me more despite any physical alignment and accommodated workouts to fit my abilities. I admire Braeden and McKay's drive and passion for their community and continue to push themselves to provide anything that they can for their members. I am forever grateful for my experience and times at KOR.

An amazing experience from class start to finish. Great coaching that begins right away with the whiteboard brief and warm-up, and continues through the workout. When done, the community is so engaging and everyone supports one another. You will always be treated with a high five or ‘knucks’ when you finish! The coaches, community and fitness results speak for themselves, so check Kor out earlier than later!

Great gym for beginner to advanced Crossfit athletes! The coaches and community are super welcoming and knowledgeable. It's a big gym with plenty of space and equipment for the class sizes. The coaches do a good job of offering plenty of options for movements that work with people's needs and definitely give plenty of attention to form/safety. I go everyday after work (even when I don't want to) and the positivity from the coach as well as the class brightens my mood when in a normal gym I would not put in as much effort after a long day. Highly reccomend!

Coming on one year at KFP and I’m long overdue to review. Where do I even start? Kor is unlike any other group fitness gym I have ever had a membership to. Everyone embraces everyone - regardless of any difference. I felt at home the moment I walked in and I never felt like I had the “awkward new girl phase” like I did at other places. The programming is great and is such a motivation to keep challenging myself. The coaches are phenomenal and take the time to get to know each member. I am a busy mom of five who works in a profession that operates 24/7. There are days, even periods, where life just does not allow me to make it to class… which leads me into my absolute favorite part about Kor. The coaches know me, what’s going on in my life and if they ever don’t see me for a week, I’m getting a text or FB message checking in and making sure I’m doing okay. They care about their members as people, not just customers. KFP gave me the tools & mindset I needed to change my health which changed my life - I’m able to be active and keep up with my kids and most importantly, I know that I can do hard things!

KFP is my favorite way to start my days. I was pretty intimidated of CrossFit before I started, even as someone who was familiar with weight training. The coaches have made it so accessible and easy to do by making modifications as needed so I can build up to the rx movement eventually. The coaches are amazing and supportive, and so is the rest of the community you gain when you join KFP. Best commitment I’ve made!
