Amazing community! The Crossfit community is always there to support you. CFA helped support my big sister who has brain cancer by throwing us a fundraiser... these people are awesome. you can’t find a better gym! The programming is challenging and the community is supporting. It’s the place to be! Very welcoming community.

Great gym, professional and super friendly coaches. These classes will improve your fitness level(no matter what level you are at.) The gym is also in great location and is extremely clean. Another positive thing is the members you will meet and workout with at CrossFit Allendale. Everyone there is so friendly and supportive! What are you waiting for? CrossFit Allendale can help you transform your life!!

We are thankful to have Crossfit Allendale in our community. We get to work with them on occasion, with rentals, buckets for their annual 5k Challenge Run, etc.. It's always a pleasure to work with these awesome people!

Great workouts! Josh and Kate are perfect gym owners! They walk the walk and have a great reputation with good reason!

Benjamin Haji-Sheikh

Hands down the best place to work out. Josh and Kate are constantly encouraging everyone to improve, and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. So if you’re looking for a well-run gym, or just trying to find the right place to try CrossFit, look no further.

This is by far the best gym I have ever been to. When I first started CrossFit I was terrified and had no idea what to expect but the coaches, Josh and Kate, are great and push me to do things that I never thought I would be able to do. Not only are the coaches great but the friends I have made from this gym make the experience ten times better. Everyone is always cheering for each other and genuinely want everyone to do the best they can at everything. If you want somewhere to workout that is fun and different everyday this is the place to go!

CrossFit Allendale is amazing! I’ve been members of a lot of gyms over the years and this one has been one of my favorites! The owners are so friendly and helpful, and whether a seasonal CrossFit athlete or just starting they make you feel welcome and scale stuff down for you. When I started I was newly postpartum with twins and had a lot to learn and to go slow! Their 7am class was awesome, a good time I could drag myself out of my bed after sleepless nights and feel like I got an amazing workout in. Every summer when my husband is home to watch kiddos I’ll be there and maybe a few times in between- they offer a variety of memberships including punch card visits. My babies and life hold me up right now but I know my CrossFit journey with them isn’t over! From being a new mom to a senior citizen this place will make you feel like home no matter where your fitness level is.

This gym is great! You'll get the best workout of your life, courtesy of sibling trainers Josh and Kate. I've only been going a few days a week for a couple months and already feeling so much better about myself. I highly recommend giving it a shot.

ajalia shelton

I participated in CrossFit for 6 weeks here and it was a great experience to be my first time participating in something like that. It was way better than I expected it to be. I thought on the first day we would be flipping tires but that wasn’t the case. The instructors are friendly and are very helpful and willing to work with you. I recommend this place if you are looking for a CrossFit gym.

Dylan DalSanto

Great gym! I always feel welcome walking in the doors at CFA knowing that I will be around a group of people pushing to make themselves better, and that I will have coaching to help me do the same. Working out here truly is the best hour of my day!

Annalise Holcomb

I was super nervous to join Crossfit at first. Josh and Kate made me feel so welcomed as soon as I stepped through the door. The workouts are awesome and you will always leave feeling accomplished (and sweaty). I’ve never loved a gym more! All the members are welcoming as well!

Eric Broadworth

I have tried multiple gyms in the area and nothing even comes close to CrossFit Allendale! They are extremely knowledgeable and the community is top notch. EVERYONE there is supportive of each other and makes you feel like you are a part of a family the minute you walk through the doors. Josh and Kate, the owners and coaches, are some of the nicest people I know. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I'm proud to refer my patients, friends and family to them. Thank you for all you do CFA!!

We love CrossFit Allendale! So thankful to have their positive, community-building, outlook in Allendale! A pleasure to work with.

David Prescott

CrossFit may sound so intimidating, it did to me at 50. What the hell is Crossfit? Big muscle guys throwing weights around and looking in the mirror admiring their physical streng? The wonderful Kate and Josh make it the best environment for not feeling like you are inferior. The members are so friendly and welcoming. I see this as just a bunch of my friends working out together. I look forward to going and just enjoy the community. If you are looking for something check it out.

Jordan Whiteley

In the last 10 months I've lost about 45lbs while adding a ton of muscle and gained the cardio to keep up with my kids. Many crossfit gyms get a bad rep for bad form, but these guys keep you safe and make sure your form is good. They'll meet you where you are and give you a good workout even if you're a 300+ lb guy like i used to be.

Jodie Obande

My experience at CrossFit Allendale has been excellent! I love the trainers and individuals I work out with! I love that you can go at your own pace!

Chris Steele

One of the best places to get fit and have fun at the same time! Josh and Kate get to know everyone and their individual abilities. Whether you are starting out on your fitness journey or a seasoned athlete, CFA is a great place to make it all happen!

Drew Hood

Some of the best owners and people in general around. Always friendly and knowledgeable and pushing you to do your best! I love Crossfit Allendale!

Elliott Indrisek

CrossFit Allendale for me was a home away from home, it was such a welcoming experience walking in for the first time. Attending GVSU was already a struggle being away from home and not to mention the class load as well. CF Allendale was that place to de-stress, to hang out, to be a better you. They challenged me to become something better then myself. My last semester of GVSU was also my last at CF Allendale, it was a bitter sweet realization. I learned so much from Josh and Kate that I will take back home so I want to thank them and the rest of their CrossFit family for everything. If you are looking for your motivation for change, consider CrossFit Allendale.

KT Slater

Fantastic place to not only workout but feel like you are part of a close family. Josh and Kate have created an atmosphere where everyone is welcome, regardless of their CrossFit skills and knowledge. Best choice we have ever made regarding our fitness and well being.

Kevin Ahrens

Great Community, from various walks of fitness! Encouraging environment where you can learn and develop functional fitness techniques. The space is very large with plenty of well maintained equipment!

Ashlin Aiken

Such a great place to join! I have always felt welcomed from the start at CFA from the coaches and other members. After wanting to try crossfit for a while CFA exceeded my expectations! From the awesome coaching and friends made, I look forward to going to crossfit each day.

Morgan VanderSchaaf

I was a post collegiate athlete looking for a program to be competitive and get stronger. In just three months, both Kate and Josh and the whole CrossFit Allendale family taught me so much. I fell in love with CrossFit. CrossFit Allendale was a place I wanted to come to every single morning. Kate and Josh offer guidance when you are a CrossFit newbie, and they want you to succeed. So thankful for my short time there, and I am sad to move away. Special shoutout to the 7am class and BizStream crew for becoming my friends and making me feel like CrossFit Allendale was my family. Thinking about trying CrossFit? This is the PERFECT gym to join!!

AAlyah Hill

You feel right at home as soon as you walk in the door! The coaches and other members are always pushing you to do your best! Such an amazing place to workout!

Robert Andrews

The owerns/coaches are great here! Along with the general CrossFit classes, the boot camps are just as challenging and once in a while the warm up will be dodgeball! On a serious note, I highly recommend CrossFit Allendale for anyone that is looking to try CrossFit or for someone that wants to get into shape.

Tyler Pavliga

Are you tied of being a bum, if so, you need to come into CrossFit Allendale Gym©! The coaches, Josh and Kate, will you get you, physically and mentally into shape. These two are dedicated to getting you back into your former accomplished self so you can stop living vicariously through your children or favorite NFL player. If you're looking for a welcoming and friendly place to workout at or just looking to get swole like a tiger, CrossFit Allendale is your place. Stop on in and change your life while getting gains along the way

M snyder

This gym is great place to workout! Coaches are top notch, they have huge clean facility and super friendly members.

Debra Zeinstra

Best place to work out!! Coaches are great!! Feels like family when you walk in. Can't imagine my life if I didn't start 2 1/2 yrs ago!! Best decision ever!!

Rick Irvine

This place has changed my life! I went from the couch, to running 5ks, to running serious runs like Tough Mudder. If you are ready for a change, this is where you'll find that new you!

Willow Stuedemann

Such a great box! Love the people, the atmosphere, & the programming! Highly recommend no matter where you are in your fitness goals!

Charley Campbell

CrossFit Allendale deserves more than 5 stars! After 3 shoulder surgery’s I didn’t think I’d be able to do much in the gym but Kate and Josh are unbelievable at adjusting and creating variations for me in every workout. Their gym is 100% judgement free and not only are the coaches extremely encouraging but the people working out there are too. Very thankful for the experience I’ve had with CrossFit Allendale!!

Mollie Bonter

Best place to workout in Allendale!

Josh Rubino

Quite possibly the best experience I have ever had at any fitness center. I could talk all day about how great and challenging Crossfit is, but Crossfit is nothing without a dedicated team of coaches to help encourage and push you to achieve your goals. Josh and Kate are fantastic fitness professionals and even stronger Crossfit coaches. Go check this place out. You won’t regret it.

Lori Grasman

Seriously one of the best decisions of my life! Great coaches to help walk you through your fitness journey and the workouts will push you to be the best you! The best CrossFit family there is!

Cameron Hill

The atmosphere is the first thing you notice when you walk through the door. Everyone is amazing and Incredibly encouraging. This new family has helped me get back in shape and then some!! I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone looking for a new gym.

Mike Kren

I had never imagined I would have so much fun working out. Not only is it a great place to try new things and challenge yourself, but it is run by people who really want to help you succeed. The workouts can be difficult, but you are coached and eased into it, and surrounded by encouragement to keep at it. My only regret is that I didn't start going there earlier than I did.

Lydia Wright

At first, I was nervous about some of the workouts but once the class started and there was such an amazing community feel my nerves went away. I enjoyed each class and always felt like I got a great workout.

Terri Jeurink

I truly enjoy the support system that this company provides to the athletes. It’s about being healthier and a better ‘you’. Northern PT is a supporter

Greg Foster

Best CrossFit experience I've had. The workouts are always a challenge. The people, coaches and members, are all super friendly and encouraging. Great place to workout and push yourself to the next level.

Bobby Austin

CrossFit Allendale has been my home for around 2 years now. I only attend 3x a week, if my schedule allows, but I would come everyday if I could. The term “CrossFit” sounds intimidating and like it’s only for elite athletes but coaches Josh and Kate do an awesome job of making the workout for everyone, all ages and skill levels. My favorite thing about CFA and what keeps me coming back is the atmosphere and the people. When you suffer together you bond

Drew Klassen

Large space with very friendly people.

Rick Sietsema

Best workout facility in Allendale!!

Annah Creech

I was nervous about dropping in to visit another box while I was visiting friends near Allendale, but Josh and the members made me feel comfortable right away. Great facility, great workout. I will go back next time I’m in Michigan.

Rob Rogers

Crossfit in general is life changing! CFA is unlike any other gym you will join. Great coaches, great equipment, and a great community!

Steven Lorenz

Wow. Just wow!

Andrew D'Amato

Been doing CF for 3 years when I moved here for the summer without knowing anyone. Josh and Kate made me feel extremely comfortable and welcomed. Amazing people. Always asking me about my weekend and how I’m doing etc. The programming is phenomenal and unpredictable. It seemed to be a little more strength-forward than my previous gym, so I definitely got stronger this summer. The community is great. Very easy to make new friends. I also noticed that they are great with providing scaling options, since they have members of all skill levels. (Both competitive long-timers and lots or less experienced students from GSVU) Most importantly, they have super cute dogs that are always there that you can play with! This was a great summer and I highly recommend this gym.

shannon felgner

Some may call the fitness center "no frills" but they focus on what matters most: a superb workout. Along with a friendly environment, the trainers are knowledgeable and encourage you to perform your best and push your limits. The members are a wide range of ages, of every fitness level imaginable, and from varying walks of life. Everyone can feel comfortable at Crossfit Allendale. I am a regular "bootcamper" and have gained considerable muscle to complement my running and cycling.

rachel pifer

Crossfit makes you a stronger and healthier person everyday. The coaches are great and welcoming. Crossfit Allendale gets you outside your comfort zone and keeps you motivated. June will be 4 years since I started incorporating Crossfit into my everyday fitness routine, there hasn’t been a day where I thought “I wish I never joined Crossfit”

Brookelyn Vanderlaan

I have been going to Crossfit Allendale since they opened and I love it! Cross fit is a great way to get in shape and anyone at any stage in their fitness can do crossfit. The coaches do a great job of modifying movements to where you are at so you can safely and effectively train. Plus the entire gym is like a second family to me now! Everyone is very encouraging and the coaches put on a ton of fun events to help inspire us to reach our goals and to make exercise fun and exciting!

Kendra Peters

Love Crossfit Allendale! Best place to workout!

Meghan Davis

I joined CFA 4 months ago and I am already seeing improvements in my overall health. Josh and Kate do a great job at making you feel comfortable and confident while you workout. They also make it a point to come over and give me tips on things I can improve on. 10/10 would recommend!

Sean Verschueren

Moved the Grand Rapids and wanted to find a gym and try out Crossfit. Joined CFA and have not looked back since. Josh and Kate provide an excellent environment and program that has allowed me to improve in every aspect of my physical fitness. Not only am I satisfied with the workouts, but the people that go to CFA treat you like family, which motivates me even further to be there as much as possible. Go to Crossfit Allendale!

Anna Steele

Crossfit Allendale is a great place to workout at! The coaches are always there to help you and push you to reach your absolute full potential. The atmosphere at the gym is like no other. Whether your just starting out on your fitness journey or your a well conditioned athlete, crossfit Allendale is the place for you!

Anna Krumm

In January Josh asked me if I knew what Cross fit was and my answer was completely wrong. But somehow he still let me on board. Before starting my fieldwork position here I had never gone to a gym or done any work with a barbell or climbed a rope or even did a pull up. After weeks and months of being there you ask me if I’ve done something and I most likely have. At cross fit you do things that no one dreams of, its really like a playground just a bunch of people trying new things and seeing what their body can do. It is an amazing experience and I definitely fell in love with the community.

Ryan Szpak

I joined CrossFit Allendale roughly 9 months ago and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in terms of wanting to improve my overall health and well-being. CrossFit Allendale has benefited me both physically and mentally. It's become my home away from home and is something I always look forward to each and every day. The community is so supportive and everyone there is so friendly and encouraging. Josh and Kate are both tremendous at what they do and always program excellent workouts! It's refreshing having coaches who want to see you succeed and are always willing to challenge you to become the best version of yourself.

Jessica Aten

Where do I even begin! CrossFit Allendale is amazing. The day I stepped into the gym I was so scared. I knew I wanted a healthy lifestyle not only for me but to also have the ability to show and to teach my girls. CrossFit Allendale welcomes with open arms. The members and coaches are amazing. Everyone pushes each other and encourages one another. The fact that everything can be scaled just proves anyone can do this. CrossFit has helped me so much! It has allowed me to find who I am and overcome so many fears. I could go on forever about CrossFit Allendale. A special thank you to Josh and Kate for all that you do.

Kristen Iannuzzi

I was a member at CrossFit Allendale while I went to Grand Valley. Josh and Kate are both humble and knowledgeable. Regardless of skill level, you can feel comfortable and welcome at CFA! I love watching the growth of this gym!

Adam Barksdale

Great place for a challenging work out.
