I was 6 months post cancer treatment, feeling very low and lost. I friend of mine had recently joined fromly known as Coca Athletics, The becoming Co. and she suggested I try a few classes and see. Instantly I was hooked! With a degree in exercise physiology, I had sworn off gyms a very long time ago, but this one felt different. I started coming 3 days a week at first and felt joy seep back into my life, and I needed more, so I made the leap into unlimited access. I was meeting people who would cheer for me, 1lbs PR-50lbs Personal records, it didn’t matter to them what the weight actually was, they saw me doing better and they cheered! I was learning new skills meeting new friends and the new and improved me was starting to peek through. Now almost 2 years later, I train 5/6 days a week at the becoming co. I no longer yearn to find the pre cancer version of Ginger, because post cancer Ginger is happier, healthier and way more fun. At 43 years old I can still keep up with my kids, whether it’s football, tumbling, running or wrestling. They know Mom is in! I sometimes look back at where I was and now can see how not okay I was when I started, and I thank Kate every single day for giving me the gift of confidence, helping me find the real me, and making me stand taller when the world was crumbling underneath me. The coaches are second to none, so much knowledge and grace. I work mostly with Amy and she was exactly who I needed, she pushes me everyday to do more and be better. Ben encourages me and always knows when there is more in the tank and pulls it out of me!
If your seeking happiness, confidence, and healthy friendships than this is where you want to be. So much more than just a gym.

I was looking for a change, I missed having fun at the gym. I took a strongman class, that was it for me. I joined in Sept 2024 and haven't looked back. Everything can be modified,. The owner, the coaches, the community here is the best. I love this gym!! Come join the fun and see what it's all about.

Joining this gym has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It doesn't just push me physically. It teaches me, strengthens me mentally, and challenges me in all the ways I need to grow. The workouts are tough, but they're exactly what I need. And the people? Absolutely unmatched.
There's an unspoken bond here. We share our wins. Our struggles. Even our tears. Its a community rooted in fitness, yes, but even more so in connection, support, and heart. Every single person here brings something special and their encouragement is truly u measureable. You walk in and instantly feel like you belong.
Kate has built something rare and beautiful. She meets everyone exactly where they are in life and somehow finds a way to elevate them from the inside out. She's created a space where you're not just training your body, you're healing, growing and becoming the best version of yourself.
If you're looking for a place to feel seen, supported and challenged in all the best ways - this is it!!

I was ready to make some changes in my life and I was searching for a gym that provided a fun, motivating, and challenging work-out experience. There are so many things I love about this gym, but one of the things I enjoy the most is that people of all levels can do this. The trainers are skilled and professional. The gym owner Kate is genuine and inspirational. Everyone at the gym has been welcoming and encouraging! I look forward to my workouts every week. After joining this gym, I’ve noticed not only physical gains, but my mindset and focus are the best they have been in a long time. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the best gym I have ever joined. Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive! The coaches are totally amazing. They help modify workouts to my skill level and make sure I do them safely . They encourage you to push yourself and step outside of your comfort zone. The other members are like family. I am amazed how good I feel physically and mentally. The owner Kate is one of a kind. She cares about each and every one of her clients, on a personal level.

I absolutely love this Coca Athletics! The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, the workouts are always challenging (but can be modified for any level), and the community is amazing. I've never felt stronger or healthier. Highly recommend!

Coach Kate made my first PT experience a lot less scary than I anticipated. Ok, not scary at all! She has a full wellness approach. She doesn’t just focus on fitness, but equally on nutrition and mental wellness. This isn’t the place to slack off. You’re motivated and met physically were capable, with a slight push. What other place lets you bring your kids, TO YOUR session?! Your feelings, both physically and emotionally, are validated here. I’d recommend Coach Kate or any of her highly motivating (and fun!) coaches at Coca. She’s figured it out, and we get to benefit from that.

Feedback from a new member…
If you are on the fence about getting into CrossFit you should definitely reach out to the owner, Kate.
Joining a new gym or starting a new fitness program is intimidating. Coca does a great job of easing this transition. The gym has a laid back, and friendly environment.
I started at Coca about a month ago. The coaches are knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The workouts are challenging but can be adjusted accommodate any fitness level or goal.
I highly recommend Coca!

Since 2021 when I found Coca CrossFit I have been coming here when I travel to see my family in vermilion. I always search CrossFit gyms that I think will fit my personality and what I’m looking for in a box/gym when I read about Kate and the passion in her gym I had to come check it out. It proved me right. The people, the atmosphere, the passion, drive and attitude of everyone here was amazing. I felt like I was walking into my home gym and everyone wants to feel like that. No judgement pure friendliness. I continue to come back every time I come in town and look forward to it. Kate is amazing and fun and the instructors are knowledgeable as well. This place is truly the best place to get the best workout and make it your home gym or travel gym. 💪🏼

Great staff, members, and facility! I dropped in while visiting my parents, and had a great time. Everyone was super welcoming and very supportive, but still pushed me to go harder during the workout. I'd love to come back some time!

Coco CrossFit has an amazing environment where they fit a workout to each persons needs while pushing you to become better every session. I’ve never worked out at such a welcoming, supportive, and friendly place. Hands down the best I have felt in my life and I’m only a few months in. Worth every penny.

I've been going to Coca off and on for about 4 years now. I keep trying closer boxes but have yet to find one that is as welcoming, open and accessible. Coach Kate genuinely cares about her people. She is always trying to find new ways to make us and the business better. I don't feel like I have to be the best athlete to walk in. I also love that they can modify for any level and all of my many injuires. If you're just starting your crossfit journey, I highly recommend Coca to get you started right.

I have been going to Coca Crossfit for many years. It is a very welcoming, fun community that welcomes everyone. They are amazing at working with you, and any physical issues you may have, to get the most out of you. No judgement, and a lot of fun. I cannot recommend it enough if you are just dropping in or looking for a way to take control of your fitness.

Kate and the team are amazing whether you are a first timer or an experienced athletes they have programs to suit your needs. The couch to CrossFit Saturday morning community class is highly recommended for a first try. Did wonders for my son who is currently being recruited for college football and had a very successful senior year thanks to their off-season training program!

I like this place. While there is plenty of opportunity for an elite athlete, there is a lot for the everyday person. I attend a "Couch to CrossFit" class where basic CrossFit moves are scaled for the beginner. As my class is starting, the true CrossFit class is finishing and I can see those people working out. I restarted going when my teenage children became interested in the "Teens" class.
Perhaps the biggest indication I can give is to echo my son's comment: he loves how everyone greets each other like friends when you walk in.

Dropped in this morning while traveling. Everyone was very welcome as is the norm with Most CrossFit boxes. I pulled up to a house but the actual facility is behind the house and is excellent. Warm in 9 degree weather, plenty of equipment, great class. And I didn’t realize till after that Kate, the instructor/owner went the CrossFit games in 2011 before she was injured. She definitely knew her stuff and was great at scaling the workout for a novice like me.
If I lived in the area, this would be a great home gym.

They offer great classes for all ages. The parking lot is small but never full and the driveway leading up to it is one lane which leads to awkward moments when two cars are trying to go opposite ways.

Coca isn't just a gym to me. They are my family. The ones who won't let you give up in the gym and anything else life throws at you. They have in my opinion the best coaches and programming with a wide variety from good old Crossfit, powerlifting, gymnastics programming and in between. Check it out! You won't be sorry!

The best box I have attended. Always very open, family friendly (including classes for teens) and willing to listen to your goals. Most importantly, will create and modify programs to fit your needs and keep you healthy. Kate and the team are the best.

I spent 15 amazing months learning from Kate and the Coca staff before I had to move. Excellent facility with knowledgable trainers, lots of encouragement and incredible involvement with the community. Coca will always be my home even if I live in Alaska!
