CrossFit Fairbanks is the oldest CrossFit Affiliate in the interior of Alaska, serving Fairbanks since 2009 and under new ownership since 2016. We offer a wide variety of equipment with our 4,000+ sq. ft. facility. We dedicate most of the space to our CrossFit classes, which includes an 8 foot built in rig mounted to the wall and a 25 foot rig safely mounted to the floors. We've got everything you need from climbing ropes with our high commercial ceilings to lots of wall space for those handstand push-ups you need to kick up on the wall for. With our spacious layout, we have roughly 100 ft. of synthetic turf to do running drills on and the rest of our facility is decked in black rubber mats. During the summer season we also have 3 large garage doors that we keep open so that we can still revel in our short Alaskan summer while training. Within the facility we also have an area tucked away with our specialty equipment for any of your workout needs.

2012Why did you get into fitness (and CrossFit)?
I have been athletic my whole life and heavily involved with competitive team sports throughout high school and then college. After I graduated, I really missed the team atmosphere and HATED 'going to the gym'. I moved to a different city and was looking for something new to do in order to meet fun people, (and I guess get back into shape) and my brother recommended CrossFit. I tried it once and was hooked! I loved the community aspect and it satisfied my cravings of a 'team-like-sport', but with the option of being competitive. I've never looked back!Why did you become a trainer?
Being a Physical Therapist by day, I truly have a passion for helping people overcome obstacles, whether it be an injury or getting that first-ever strict pull-up. There is nothing better than seeing people reach their personal goals, and being able to be part of that is an honor!What's your favorite CrossFit movement?
Well, I was going to say Wall Balls and Burpees, but I guess that makes me slightly insane. So I'll go with Box jumps and Overhead Squats :)What is your favorite cheat food?
I can only choose one?! Then I'll have to say Salt and Vinegar Kettle Cooked Chips.Who's your favorite Superhero and why?
Superman. Being able to fly would be AMAZING!X

2017Why did you become a trainer?
I have always had a strong passion for helping others. After starting CrossFit I realized what a major role it played in my everyday life and how it changed so many things for me for the better; I lost weight, gained muscle, learned skills I could only ever dream of and self confidence I didn't know I needed. I wanted to share how great CrossFit was with anyone who would stop and listen to me and what better way then in a class setting. I love watching members hit PRs, learn new skills, refine old ones and sell their souls in a workout with like minded individuals.What's your favorite CrossFit movement?

2019Why did you become a trainer?
Something as simple as encouraging an athlete to adjust a movement, put some weight on the bar, and believe in themselves can change how that person sees themself. It can change how they push themselves inside and outside CrossFit. I love that I get to be a small part of why someone realized they’re mentally and physically stronger than they thought they were when they walked into class that day.What's your favorite CrossFit movement?
Bar facing burpees.What is your favorite cheat food?

Hard to say when I started CrossFit because I did a lot of cross training as a pole vaulter through high school and college but went to a box consistently starting in 2019Why did you get into fitness (and CrossFit)?
I’ve always wanted to be a coach for as long as I can remember. Growing up in sports, I was greatly impacted by all the amazing coaches I had that pushed me further than I thought I could go and encouraged me in the gym, on the track, and in life. The gym has always been a safe space for me to escape the chaos of daily life, shut my brain off, and just move my body - I want to be able to create a space for others to do the same and cheer them on in their day to day lives as coaches I’ve had in the past did for me.What's your favorite CrossFit movement?
I really love any gymnastics movement but handstand walks are probably my favorite.What is your favorite cheat food?
