I started crossfit classes in April of 2023 right before i turned 40. I love it so much I only wish I had started sooner! The coaches, Jonathan and Steph are all amazing! I hurt my back a couple months in and they were so amazing in helping me modify my workouts. The community is like family. I leave every workout feeling stronger. It has helped my anxiety and given me so much energy. 100% recommend signing up!

Driving by Steadfast, I was always intimidated seeing the garage doors up and crossfit classes. But Steadfast is so much more than Crossfit. They have Strength training classes, which is what I have been going to since February. Anything can be adapted to your fitness level. The coaches are knowledgeable and very encouraging. Other members are quick to give you a "great job!" and check in with each other. It's a great community to join!! Want to work out on your own? They also have have a gym with all the regular weight machines, free weights and cardio machines. Check out Steadfast, you won't be disappointed!

***Military Veteran Review: 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Steadfast hangs the military flags of our different branches very proudly. Too many times have I seen gyms hang these flags to look the part, but not truly support the meaning.
Jonathan and his coaches take the time to honor our fallen veterans during HERO workouts. They recognize their veterans during the Murph workout and they seek out veterans within their own gym memberships for guidance or questions regarding military traditions.
Most importantly, I trust Jonathan and his coaches with my family during deployments or TDYs. That is easier said than done for other local area boxes and their staff. 🫡

I'm coming up on 2 years doing Crossfit at Steadfast, and it's been an awesome experience! I came in with no experience of Crossfit at all, and a 10 year hiatus from any group exercise since leaving the Army. So, I was pretty green to it all!
The coaches do a great job explaining and demo everything, provide reasonable scaling or exercise replacement options as needed, and help athletes right-size whatever workout components fit their fitness level and health. That means you get the intended benefits from the workout, while minimizing risks of over training or injury.
There are many class times to pick from, which has been great as my scheduling needs have changed over time. No matter what time block you pick, you'll find a warm and supportive group of Crossfitters there to share the workout experience with you.
If you want to learn, grow, and get healthier, this gym is the place for you!

I have nothing but great things to say about steadfast! I started here ~2020 as a student athlete and absolutely fell in love with weightlifting. Through the individual coaching of Jonathan and Michael specifically, I gained amazing insight and confidence in a sport that I felt I was incapable of doing well. With accommodations and a great culture, I gained my favorite hobby and I have come back after graduating college to continue working out in their space. I can’t recommend Steadfast enough, whether you are a new gym-goer who needs a well put together program or someone who just wants to run on the treadmill. Thanks to the Raymond family & staff for such a wonderful culture <3

The coaches here don’t just tell you what to do—they teach, encourage, and challenge you to go beyond what you thought was possible.
The workouts are intense, but scalable for every level, and the results are REAL. My strength, endurance, and confidence have all skyrocketed. 💪 The members are like family—everyone cheers each other on, whether it’s your first day or your 500th.
If you want expert coaching, a supportive community, and workouts that will leave you sweaty, smiling, and proud, THIS is where you need to be. Thank you, Steadfast Performance, for making me stronger in every way!

This place is an amazing blend of incredible people and exceptional instructors that is honestly just a special community. I’ve made great friends, leveled up my fitness and I look forward to continuing to grow with this tribe.
I had knee surgery in 2015 and had their PT look it over when it was giving me trouble. I was back in the game in no time!

I've been going to Steadfast for 2 years, and counting, attending the CrossFit Masters class and some others. Of all of the gyms I have gone to, this one is the best and the only one that I have tried not to miss. The staff and members are great! No shaming at all. They work with you to get you to your best workout. When I have to miss a class, it is a bummer. Thankfully, that rarely happens.
Thanks Brent Maurer for pushing me to join up. Best decision I've made in a long time! And it's helped my golf game!

Steadfast has been a transformative experience for my life. I never was a “gym person” and never thought I would enjoy working out in a gym atmosphere. Four years ago, at the urging of my wife I begrudgingly went to CrossFit and met Jonathan and Michael and the rest of the coaches. To say my expectations were wrong would be an understatement. What I found were coaches and an accepting atmosphere who meet you where you are and provides the encouragement to push yourself to the next level.
Do not mistake my comment above as saying the coaches will not push you. The workouts challenge you and you will see results from your hard work. If you would have told me in the spring of 2020 that I would compete in Murph, let alone finish Murph, I would have laughed in your face. Now Murph is a highlight of my year.
Not to be forgotten is the community at Steadfast which is exceptional. I have made some very good friends and to be honest seeing those familiar faces and sharing a laugh at the end of a long day is almost as beneficial as the workout.
The results speak for themselves. I am down nearly 30 pounds; my strength and conditioning are better than at any point in my life. I only wish I would have started sooner. I cannot imagine NOT doing this. I am officially addicted to the gym and working out.
Thanks, Steadfast.

I joined Steadfast Barbell in January of 2021. I was NOT a gym person and was very skeptical. I had walls up and never planned I would want to go to the gym more than twice a week. I now go 5-6 days per week for the physical, mental, emotional and social benefits Steadfast Barbell provides.
Every person at the gym (coaches, staff and members) is encouraging and genuinely wants to help you achieve your goals inside and outside the gym.
The coaches all meet you where you are without judgement. They want to help you improve your fitness safely and translate progress from the gym into your life outside the gym. The coaches will push you when needed; they assess and build relationships with the members so they know when gentle pushing is needed and to give tough love.
Jonathan and Stephanie are the owners and have hearts of gold. They are intentional in creating a space where there is a strong sense of community with care and compassion for one another. Steadfast Barbell is Jonathan’s mission field and I can confidently say he changes lives through his work.
Coach Michael is a great coach and an even better friend. He is quick to build relationships with everyone who walks through the door. His relational skills are displayed through his coaching excellence. He is kind and compassionate while still giving tough love and direct guidance when needed.
Coach Amber is an inspiration to me every time I set foot in the door. She encourages me to do better and never lets me settle for less than my best…and has some of the highest standards of anyone I’ve met but uses her sharp eye to help others improve. She is tough and wants the best for others and will do everything she can to help you get there.
Coach Feenstra is a gem. He helps me with weightlifting twice a week and manages to always give me a takeaway that applies not only to fitness but to life.
Every coach at Steadfast Barbell (Pri, Carlin, Daniel, Hannah, Kyle, and Oks) is truly excellent and I cannot speak highly enough of them. If you are on the fence about joining a gym or feel skeptical of CrossFit and/or weightlifting, I encourage you to set that aside, walk into Steadfast Barbell and have a conversation with Jonathan or any of the coaches. With consistency, this place (these people) will change your life for the better.
Steadfast - thank you for all you do for me and my family every day. ❤️🖤❤️

Steadfast is an incredible community of people led by a very knowledgeable and welcoming staff of experts. The fitness center is well equipped and provides plenty of equipment to get a great workout. The CrossFit coaches are fantastic and not only teach you, but cheer you on as you work toward accomplishing your own personal goals. They push you to be your best but they always respect you as a person and will adjust workouts to be in line with your own fitness journey. Additionally, the in-house physical therapist is exceptional and will guide you with a personalized rehab plan to help you recover from any setback. Fitness has been a major part of my life for over 20 years, and I’ve never experienced a better place to not only get excellent workouts, but also make great friends at the same time. It has changed my life for the better.

I’ve been at steadfast for 9 months now and it’s been my best weightlifting experience ever . The coaches really help you dial in on your techniques so you feel confident. . I started weightlifting 2.5 years ago and came to steadfast so I could progress in Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting. Since then coaches have prepared me for an Olympic weightlifting meet and USAPl powerlifting meet , I had no idea where to start in the beginning. The owners Jonathan and Stephanie are wonderful genuine people inside the gym and out . It’s not just a business, they care deeply about their members and I look forward to going to the gym everyday.. I’ve made more friends there in the last 9 months then I have in the last 5 years , it’s a great community

From beginner to advanced skill you can find it here. Not only CrossFit but Olympic and traditional powerlifting. The coaching is very accommodating and no matter your skill level you will begin to see progress month to month if you follow their plan. I started here with a powerlifting/bodybuilding background. My joints were always sore/stiff and struggled with overhead positions. Just under a year later I can do almost every overhead movement and gymnastics movements with relative ease. Day to day quality of life is 100% better!
Don’t forget about the 24-7 side of their gym for DIY workin out.

My husband and I joined Steadfast in January 2024, coach Michael, Coach Jonathan and Stephanie are very welcoming, listen to your goals and coach (challenge) us to become better. Coach Michael will say at the end of a class, you became more fit today or you showed up, it’s so encouraging to keep going. We walk in and Coach Jonathan will look over and say it’s the Beck’s, and that brings a smile to my face. The coaches take each other‘s classes! Everyone is on different fitness levels and has been so encouraging in our journey to become fit. We’ve only been here for 2 months and we might have a long way to go however we’re having fun along the way. Great gym and great people!! We found our gym community, we found our place.

I first walked into Steadfast last October and had a tour and a great conversation with John. I made the choice to hold off on joining after signing up for the trial week and classes. I returned in January after losing a little over 30 pounds. There was no judgement from anyone…only welcome arms, glad to see I had lost weight and was starting on the next step to get fit. I can’t put into words what this place is like, but I will try. All the coaches want to meet you where you are and help you move forward. Workouts are scaled as needed, I can’t do most of what the other athletes are doing, but at the same time you’re not thinking about that. The other folks in the class introduce themselves, encourage each other, push each other. I am 7 weeks in, doing things I didn’t know I could do, progressing through the mechanics of the movements and workouts. There is a heavy emphasis on doing it right before doing it intensely. I am gaining self confidence with every workout, I am feeling more and more like I belong thanks to all the great coaches and all the great people who come to workout. It certainly does feel like family here, don’t hesitate, come join us!

Jon is a great coach. He is excellent at being encouraging and friendly at all times. When I am approaching a lift he does a great job at not overloading me with too many things to try to think about and focus on, which I think is a great skill. Training is very individualized and Jon really emphasizes safe training. The environment and community is accepting, positive, and fun, while still being focused.

I am 72 years old and had thought I would spend the rest of my life having trouble getting out of a chair, getting out of the car, walking up steps holding onto the railing hoping not to fall. Never in the last 7 years have I been able to get down on the floor to play with my grandchildren. Was able to carry very little, everything was just too heavy. When I met Jonathon and talked to him - I felt he was the one I could trust to change things for me to enjoy life more. Along the way the last 4 months he has changed my strength so much. We ran into a few weeks of medical problems that either one of us gave into. Through his knowledge , faith, and kindness we were able to get past it. I look forward to continuing building strength that I never thought was possible. I have accomplished the strength for all the things I have mentioned above of not being able to do. My main goal was to be able to pick up my 30 pound 6 month old grandson and I can do it now and it is a great feeling. If you are looking for someone to give you hope of a very different life, Johnathan is the one to help you, not only with strength but with faith. I thought at 72 it was too late, but as he has always told me it is never too late and that is so true. I can not thank Johnathon enough - he is great!

Having worked with Jonathan for several months as my coach, I can't say enough great things about him. Jonathan meets each person exactly where they are at--physically, emotionally, and spiritually. He knows how to push me beyond what my self-imposed limits are, and does so in a way that is encouraging and rewarding. He pushes himself to constantly be growing in his overall knowledge in the health and wellness arena. I highly recommend anyone wanting to improve their overall physical conditioning to work with Jonathan. You won't regret it.

Jonathan is an exceptional coach both for Olympic lifting and an as a overall life coach. He truly cares about each individual in the gym and builds a custom plan based on your goals and current fitness level. Jonathan leads by example and shows us all that with hard work, perseverance and being STEADFAST we can all grow more than we believe. I have not lifted consistently in 25+ years and Jonathan has worked with me to master my technique before increasing weights to safely create a solid foundation to build on. Because of that I am now hitting PRs on most lifts higher than I could achieve in my twenties. I wholeheartedly believe Jonathan's wholistic approach has added years to my life expectancy as well as improved my self image and overall fitness level.
Additionally, the Steadfast community and comradery is second to none, everyone regardless of your ability or experience is supportive and celebrates your accomplishments. Jon and Steadfast group are so much more than the typical "muscle head" gym, they are more like the family you look forward to seeing

I had never even heard of some of the Olympic lifts before starting here, but Coach Jonathan took his time with me - reviewing good form and essential foundational elements in every session. These factors have had a huge impact on every one of my lifts and my overall improvement as an athlete. I would recommend this club to anyone looking to get into lifting, regardless of level or past experience.

I can't say enough about Steadfast Barbell and its community! As a relatively new lifter to Olympic lifting, I started with coach Jon 6 months ago and have been so pleased with my improvements. His programming takes into account the athlete as a whole and includes lifting specific drills, as well as strength specific work. All around, my athletic performance has improved tremendously. Coach Jon's passion for coaching, encouraging, and leading others is obvious, and his enthusiasm contagious. I would highly recommend Steadfast to anyone who is looking to improve their athleticism through Olympic lifting and weight lifting.

Jonathon Raymond is a very knowledgeable coach, personal trainer and nutritionist. I have worked out with him for the past year and have seen great results. Jonathon works hard to personalize your workouts, so you get the most from the sessions. He has also helped me with running-which is something that seemed impossible and I'm grateful. He is awesome to work out with and keeps you going when you feel like you can't go anymore. I highly recommend him.

I will start by saying it's an awesome gym, with good equipment and decently priced for the area. I rated two stars because of a billing issue in which I have been completely unable to get in contact with the owner to resolve, still to this day.. I cancelled my membership 30 days in advance just like you're supposed to, and have continued being billed months later, even after speaking to an employee over the phone that works at the gym. I have also left several emails, and voicemail as well. I had to change my bank account info just to stop the billing.
