CrossFit 701

I have been a member since the summer of 2011. It has been a fantastic journey and I've met so many wonderful people. On top of that, I've been active and in the best shape since I was an athlete in high school. With working a desk job this a perfect regimen to keep me moving. I look forward to every day there. Excellent and attentive coaches and constantly improving facility help a lot.

For years my workouts consisted of running, elliptical, and some of those cute little weight machines at a community gym. While those still have their place, it won't compare to the variety that CrossFit provides. The modifications and sincere attention of trainers made it so I could continue my entire pregnancy - literally up to the day the baby was born - as well as be something that I can do with my teenager. Even with a jam packed schedule, I make it a point to show up at least once a week, preferably more, when many other things are easily given up for the pursuit of downtime. This is worth your investment.

To preface, it took me 3 years of knowing about CrossFit to even check out CrossFit 701, and my only regret with CrossFit 701 is not joining sooner.If you come with a willingness to learn and open to some pretty amazing people, you will have a hard time forcing yourself to have rest days. I joined CrossFit 701 after having tried everything under the sun to get me on a consistent gym schedule, indoor soccer, running (gross), softball teams, Zumba, group fitness classes, Bodypump, lifting on my own, elliptical, personal trainers, etc etc, but nothing ever stuck for me. I didn't love anything so much that it made me want to come back. Usually I could enjoy the workout, but the community was lacking, or I just got bored with whatever I was doing.At CrossFit 701, I never EVER have to worry about getting bored and the support and community is absolutely amazing. I have been consistent now for over a year, doing things I have never imagined I would enjoy doing so much, growing physically and emotionally. The most astonishing part for me though, has been the way CrossFit 701 staff and members have helped me to change mentally. The way I look at myself , look at what I am capable of and where I want to go has all changed drastically because of the amazing sport of CrossFit but even more so because of the people I get to see day in and day out.Quite literally, if this chubby, nonathletic and inconsistent girl can find a space and place to thrive like this, anyone can. I encourage you to check it out and see who you can be that you never even dreamed of.

I enjoy every day at the gym (said no one ever) . Don't get me wrong the people are great but the coaches are exceptional. I have learned very valueble information from every single one of them. Beyond that your safety and well being is the top priority. It has been very easy to talk about limitations and make adjustments accordingly with every coach.

I have been going to CF701 for over five years and I still look forward to going everyday. Amazing coaches and community. It never gets old. When it comes to working out try to find something you enjoy doing so it doesn't become a chore.

I have been a member for over 5 years now and this place rocks! I love the programming, the layout of the gym, and most importantly the people here are awesome! I'm in the best shape I have ever been in and have made so many great friendships in the process. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Out of town drop in. Troy was my coach and he did an excellent job explaining what the plan for the workout and his expectations. He offered scaling options for all movements involved along with proper technique to execute said movements. Overall great experience and would highly recommend to locals and/or out of towners.

I have been a member since 2010 and haven't looked back since. In this time I have taken on the competitive aspect of CrossFit, the body maintenance of staying healthy and fit, focused on specific weightlifting movements/programs, and more. No matter what your goals are, you have the resources, tools, and support system to get there.

CrossFit 701 has made my life better in so many ways! This is the first gym that makes me WANT to work out. The coaches are knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The community is full of people who are encouraging and empowering. If you're looking for a gym to call home, somewhere that will push you and encourage you to reach your fitness goals, and a community to support you along the way, look no further.

CrossFit 701 is my home away from home in Fargo. All of the coaches and athletes are so friendly and welcoming each day. I like how their programming challenges me to work on different movements, but still allows me to scale back on things that need improvement. I would recommend CrossFit 701 to any beginner looking to start CrossFit or current athletes looking for a gym!
