CrossFit Fringe

I am a young college student, a freshman who had only dipped her toes into crossfit. Coming to college I wanted to continue doing what would keep me in shape. I chose Fringe after going to a free class, I felt like there was no need for me to search elsewhere for a box... they had everything I wanted. After my first 2 weeks I had learned more than I had learned in 2 months doing crossfit before moving to Columbia. I can't say enough how absolutely amazing the coaches, people, and programming is here. Not only that, it is such an amazing environment! As I said earlier... I joined to stay in shape, and am now in love. With fitness, with my Fringe family, and with the process! As for some statistical things... I joined Crossfit Fringe the first week of September with a 200 pound back squat max, it is now 2 and a half months later, mid November, and I just squatted 255. The programming is amazing, and that is just proof. I just can't say enough how highly I think of Fringe and of all the empowering people there.

Wasn't convinced that CrossFit was beneficial but after attending a trial class on Saturday at the Fringe I am pretty much sold! The workout was intense and the people here are super motivating! Great way to start your Saturday off right. The instructor's focus on form was refreshing as well.

I've been doing individual program design with Angelo Fosco for about 6 months, and it's awesome. At the beginning we sat down and talked about goals, time commitments, nutrition, injuries, training history, etc., and he's put together very intelligent programming geared specifically at my goals. I've worked through and repaired pre-existing injuries with his help, and made tons of progress, I seem to set a new PR every week. He's a great guy and a great coach/mentor. He takes his job very seriously, and is extremely responsive over email, I've never waited a significant length of time for a response. Highly recommended for a personal trainer. He also designs the group programming for the classes, and I've heard nothing but excellent things about them.The Fringe community is also lots of fun. It's easy-going, and it's easy to make friends, whether you're doing classes or doing your own thing. Every single coach has their head screwed on straight. Tyler runs a good gym for sure.

I've been going to Fringe for almost a year and half and walking through those doors is still one of the best life-changing decisions I've ever made. It's always scary to embark on a new journey, but honestly, I felt comfortable immediately. I went to a free class....completed On-Ramp (now Elements)...signed up...and kept showing up. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, of course, but they're also extremely supportive and caring. And the members are ever encouraging. No one finishes alone. I've made some amazing friends and had some awesome experiences. And I just keep walking through those doors.

This place has truly changed my life. The coaches, the workouts, the camaraderie of CrossFit Fringe are by far the best in Columbia. Not to mention, our brand new facility, which is centrally located near downtown Columbia, is top notch. This place is more than a gym, the people here care about you and your wellbeing, CrossFit Fringe is a family.

CrossFit Fringe was my first ever CrossFit Box. Fringe was so much more than just a place to work out at. Fringe became my home. I made great friends and memories here. The coaching staff is amazing. Before I joined CrossFit, I was the type of person who focused more on how I looked, rather than how healthy I was. Fringe helped me focus on the fitness and gain more confidence in myself. Over the summers, I lived in Kansas City, so I have tried out numerous of other CrossFit gyms and I can definitely say that Fringe is great place. There programming is effective for all levels of CrossFitters, whether you are super competitive or just starting out like I was 3 years ago the coaches will push you and challenge you to be your best!

I love this gym! I've known Nate and Tyler for years and both of these guys are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and are excellent coaches. If you are looking for a hard workout, elite coaching, and a great atmosphere, then definitely check this place out! Also, their member base is really varied so there are people of all ages and ability levels are welcome and feel at home! Great Crossfit Box for sure.

With a new facility, supportive community, and highly qualified staff, the caliber of CrossFit experience that CrossFit Fringe offers is unmatched in mid-Missouri.

From Omaha, NE, dropped in while visiting family and am relatively new (6ish months) to crossfit. The facilities are large with enough equipment to accommodate the amount of people in attendance and then some. The training staff was knowledgeable and it was refreshing to get a different perspective on some of my forms.Even though I was a drop in, the staff and community made me feel welcome and like I belonged. It felt like being back at my own gym in Nebraska. Thank you for the opportunity to work out CFF, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

There are a lot of things that are awesome about this place, but two points really stand out. First, the community, coaches and athletes alike, at CrossFit Fringe is amazing. An incredible amount of support is available for everyone, regardless of fitness level, and it is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Second, the coaches here are highly-skilled, knowledgeable, and meticulous. There is a strong awareness that incorrect form can be dangerous, and great attention is paid to making sure athletes are performing lifts properly. There is a lot of variation in boxes out there, but both the community and the high-quality coaching at CrossFit Fringe make it a great place to get into shape.
