You don’t have to change a thing for us, but if you love CrossFit as much as we do, you’ll probably make some healthy changes on your own. Things like good  sleep habits, a healthy diet and  hydration make workouts a lot more fun. We’re all here to help! 

One of the best things about the sport of CrossFit is it’s meant to be scalable for anyone who wants to participate. At Northstar, this means our day-one athletes, elite athletes, adaptive and even injured athletes can all participate in the same classes.

Our workouts are scalable so the stimulus is the same across all levels. It’s our job to help you choose the right level for you and adjust as your fitness changes.

Everyone learns differently! Most of the time, you should be able to jump right into a class. Your coach will keep you moving safely and you’ll get the feel for our class environment. If you’d like a little more one-on-one instruction in the beginning, we offer complimentary onboarding classes with your unlimited membership purchase. Your coach will lead you through 1-3 sessions, touching on fundamentals before you jump into classes.

We love to welcome athletes dropping in from far and wide! If you’re here for a day, simply purchase a drop-in class and jump in. If you will be here longer and/or are dropping in for a longer period of time, get in touch with Jessie, etc.

The Northstar staff and athletes have all kinds of fitness interests. Even CrossFitters, who tend to be pretty loyal to the discipline, like to switch up their training sometimes to see what they can do with their fitness. We encourage it all! There are lots of training options available here and we’re more than happy to help you explore. In our gym, you’ll find options for training CrossFit, Olympic lifting, Hyrox, endurance sports and weightlifting. Let us help you create a training plan!

Plenty of our athletes are not training CrossFit. Maybe you just want to train on your own in a space that still has a close community of people you’ll see regularly. Northstar might be a great fit! As we evolve, we think about other classes like Hyrox, Olympic lifting, weight training, running, etc. that might be a good fit for our community. You always have the option to change your membership from Open Gym to Unlimited if there are classes you discover fit your fitness regimen.

Recovery can be long, boring and lonely. The hardest part of rehabbing an injury is losing your routine and most likely one of the favorite parts of your day. We can almost always give you something to do that won’t hinder your recovery and will allow you to see your friends, get in some kind of movement and protect your mental health while you rehab!

No contracts! You’re only committed for the month of membership or class package you purchase.

We’ve heard this so many times, and we get it. You might feel nervous to join a class with people who do this a lot. If you’re new to fitness or deconditioned and not feeling your fittest, this is a great place to start. We are here to guide you back to fitness in a fun, safe and motivating environment!
