Fountain City Fitness: Reviews
Fantastic experience: A year and a half ago, I was a 42-year-old dad who had never lifted weights seriously. I was dealing with chronic back pain that couldn't be pinpointed despite x-rays, physical therapy, and massages. Most mornings I woke up hurting, and I wasn't happy with my mental state or how I felt in my own body. I had preconceived notions about CrossFit and gyms in general. I didn't think I was talented enough, strong enough, or competitive enough for what I imagined it would be like. Man, I was wrong. Fountain City Fitness has completely changed my relationship with movement and my body. The chronic back pain that I thought I'd have to manage forever is gone. The mental fog and unhappiness have been replaced with energy and something I actually look forward to each week. Most importantly, I can keep up with a four year old (and lift several of them over my head if needed). The coaching and attention to detail here is one thing that makes this place special. Travis and the coaches here work with every body type, age and skill level. The programming is smart and safe, and I've learned the real benefits of lifting heavy and moving consistently under proper guidance. We're all getting stronger together, in all the ways. If you're reading this and you're like I was - maybe intimidated, maybe dealing with pain, maybe thinking you're not "gym material" - those concerns are understood. This isn't the intimidating stereotype you might have in your head. The community is welcoming, there are movements for you -- whether you're into no weight or adding plates -- and you'll be surprised how much this can improve your life. My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner but, that’s one that's easy to live with.
Fantastic experience: I moved to the Waldo area about a year ago and Fountain City Fitness is a big reason why I love living here. The owner, Travis, is an amazing coach, great friend, and truly cares about making a difference in everyone's fitness journey no matter where they are at. He instills this in all of his coaches, so no matter what class I attend I know I am getting a high level of coaching and care. I think this attitude rubs off on the members of the gym and creates a respectful, caring, and friendly community. Not only do I look forward to a challenging workout everyday at noon, but I also can't wait to see my gym buddies to break up my work day. I am moving better than I ever have thanks to the attention to detail the coaches bring every day.
Fantastic experience: Fountain City took my resolutions and turned them into a reality. As a 30 year old who always resolved to take care of their health, but also hated all things gym (I couldn't tell you what a burpee was, or perform a jumping jack without pain). But the coaches at FCF are always patient to explain muscle groups, equipment, techniques, and provide encouragement, each class starts with a review and questions are always encouraged. Starting with Foundations was a perfect intro to the mindset that makes FCF work for me, a comfortable atmosphere where scaling and pushing yourself is both possible. Totally worth the time and money for a couch potato like myself. By committing to the 5:30 am class, I finally get everything done in the morning that I never had time for as a chronic night owl, all before the workday starts. I feel more alert throughout my day and don't need to stress about where and when to work out. FCF makes it easy for a clumsy, 9-5er scale down exercises into manageable but challenging workouts. Now two years in, I attend classes at 5:30 am 4-5 times a week, have hit multiple PRs, hit milestones in my weight loss journey, and
Leni, having you and Jim walk in each morning at 5:30 makes it easy for us to get up and be a part of your journey! Thanks for always having a smile and an interest in getting better each day!
Fantastic experience: After many false starts through the years, I decided 2025 was going to be the "year of Matt" and I would start working on myself. As someone who has struggled to feel comfortable going to gyms due to my lack of skill, and lack of any muscle :D, this was a big scary step. I have friends and family who attend Fountain City Fitness, so with much trepidation I decided to check it out. Now a couple months in I can happily report a couple things: •The Elements Classes/1:1 sessions helped me gain confidence that I could do this and prepared me for what to expect. When I needed additional 1:1 support the coaches helped me focus in on what I needed to feel ready to join full classes. •The Coaches have all been exceptionally supportive. They certainly challenge me to do my best and help me to achieve it. •The atmosphere is one of support and encouragement. There are other beginners like me, and seasoned pros. •I actually look forward to getting up and going now! Overall, Fountain City Fitness and it's team have helped me take the next steps in the journey of taking care of myself.
Fantastic experience: I've now been to Fountain City Fitness twice. I love this place and will be back! I attend the Legends (over 55) class. Kenya is an excellent coach who is able to address individual goals in a small group setting, not always an easy feat. Travis is honest, open-minded and flexible with this business, making it easy for me to go back again! Highly recommend Fountain City Fitness for a personalized approach to getting/staying fit.
It's been awesome having you in and pushing the class!! Looking forward to hearing some of your pickleball stories!
Fantastic experience: Whether you've trained for years, or you are just starting out, Fountain City Fitness is the gym that prepares you for life. With expert coaching and a tight-knit community, this gym sets a new standard. I’ve been in the fitness world for over a decade - from traditional gyms to specialized boutiques - and nothing comes close to what Fountain City delivers. It’s a place where functional fitness is the foundation, and the focus is on building strength, mobility, and resilience that actually translates to real life. The coaches are legit the best I’ve ever worked with - knowledgeable, motivating, and they tailor every workout to your skill level, whether you're just starting out, have an injury, or even if you have been training for years. I’ve hit PRs I never thought possible and feel stronger, more confident, and more energized in every part of my life. Fountain City hosts tons of community events as well! We've done running groups for local races, meal prep workshops, journaling groups, and even just getting together and taking our dogs to the local dog park. Travis has built something special - a place where beginners and experienced athletes train side-by-side and genuinely support one another outside the gym. If you care about long-term health and performance - or if you're looking for a place where people care about you + your progress - this is it. Don’t wait. Come try a class. You’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.
We love having you so much Nick. Your thoughtfulness towards workouts, but mainly all things human, make this place so much better for everyone else as well!
Fantastic experience: The staff are super friendly. I had a good time dropping in for a workout while on vacation in Kansas City.
We loved having you Nickolai, hope your kids enjoyed the park and we see back in KC soon!
Fantastic experience: Great community, coaches and programming. I’ve been here two years and every week I look forward to seeing the workouts and progress on my fitness journey. Also great place to bring my teenage son to workout during summer. We saw a transformation in abilities and a huge gains in muscle mass. Fountain City Fitness is a highly regarded CrossFit gym in the Kansas City area, known for its supportive community, excellent coaching, and welcoming atmosphere, catering to all fitness levels.
When I left high school teaching and coaching, it was the kids I missed most. Having E come in and work out with us in the Summer's is the best part of my year.
Fantastic experience: One of the most welcoming crossfit gyms to walk into, IMO! The coaches are caring, attentive, and give great instruction. The gym has a great vibe and the community of people is what gets me showing up at 6:30am!
Fantastic experience: 2025 update! I’m furthering my fitness goals by working with Kenya 1:1 in addition to group classes! I’m getting results I didn’t think were possible at my age! 2024 update! I got my husband to join last year! We have so much fun working out together and hold each other accountable! So I’m not a full time fitness buff. I’m a wife and mom who works full time, but I still fit right in at FCF! Workouts are always challenging, but always doable! I scale them to my fitness level and so can you! Come join our community! We are way more than a gym!
Now to see who gets more classes in 2024 between you and Kyle...
We love having you both in class and even more at our social events ;-)
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of FCF for nine years and there are so many reasons I continue coming back. When I started I was coached with the same knowledge and encouragement as where I am now. The coaches care about my individual goals and work with me so I can achieve them. The community is so inclusive and kind and I love working out with such amazing members!
A new person this morning was just talking about how welcoming everybody has been to them and I always point to people like you as my "welcoming squad". Makes my job easy when there's a Julie in the class.
Fantastic experience: The best gym in KC!! FCF is the perfect place to push yourself with new friends cheering you on while you do it!
You've been such a great addition Kenya, I love watching you grow as an athlete and coach!
Fantastic experience: I decided to make my health and fitness a priority and joined the gym about 2 years ago. I am now more fit and have fun doing it. All you have to do it show up and the coaches are there to help support and guide you along the way.
Fantastic experience: Everything is scalable to your own ability!! Or sometimes they look and you and say, "that's all" and push you do do more. Everyone is supportive and the workouts translate to other activities and everyday activities. You have to be able to get stuff off the ground including yourself to lead a long, healthy, fulfilling life. The new 55+ group is a testament to that! My mom was so very hesitant to come try a class but eventually started working with Kenya and then that group and it's a highlight of her weeks. Come try it out before you judge it as "not for you". That was totally me - and my mom.
You ability to be open-minded about everything is such an inspiration Sarah. I love how you'll try anything and always eager to learn. Now to get you to actually realize how strong you already are ;-)
Fantastic experience: Great gym conveniently located. Stellar coaches, clean facility, great community.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this gym on and off for about 7 years and it is so fun. I came for the efficient CrossFit HIIT workouts and stayed for the friendly staff and community! Update: still love coming here! Come check it out!
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing place. It is a very welcoming space. I am not in shape by any means and the coaches help me to scale the workouts so they are challenging, but doable. It also helps that the members are so wonderful. It’s like a second family and I’m glad to be part of it!
Fantastic experience: I love this gym. The focus on functional movement and on listening to your body and doing what's best for you makes it less intimidating and more likely to produce results. The workouts are great, but mostly it's the culture that makes it worthwhile. Everyone--from the owner to the coaches to the members--is kind, helpful, and supportive. While there is a healthy sense of competition, it really feels like everyone wants everyone else to succeed, and they're glad to cheer you on and make it possible. I have never been consistent about going to a gym before I came here, but I've come four days a week for years now because I love it!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in KC. Coaches that care and fitness that works!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Fountain City Fitness (FCF)for over 3 years. FCF caters to all levels of fitness and skill level. The community of people that attend this gym is incredible, everyone is supportive and encouraging no matter what your skill level. The coaches are great at knowing your goals and helping you reach them. I am a master's athlete, and the coaches are great at providing assistance to perform all movements without being intimidating. If you are looking for a local CrossFit gym that helps you be the best you can be and offers support at every level from coaches and other members, this is your gym!
Fantastic experience: Fountain City Fitness is the creme de la creme of CrossFit gyms within the Kansas City metro. Excellent coaching, great workouts, and a welcoming crew of athletes! If you're in the area you HAVE to drop in. If you live in the Kansas City metro and are looking for a gym with some cool people and excellent coaching this is your spot. Good coaches and friendly faces.
It helps when we have the creme de la creme of athletes like yourself!
Fantastic experience: Nice local gym
Thank you for your positive feedback, Vince! We're glad to hear that you like our local gym. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming community with great programming
Fantastic experience: A great gym that is willing to meet you where you are at. Great coaches and great members.
Fantastic experience: This place is truly amazing. I first started at Fountain City Fitness two years ago, not in the best place physically or emotionally. At no point did I ever feel out of place or unsupported in my improvement. Now that I'm back, I'm still receiving the same attention to technique, safety, and progress. It's an amazing place; I've never felt better or stronger.
Fantastic experience: Being new to town, this gym and community welcomed me in right away. Very professional gym staff and fun workouts to make you into a better person. I’d recommend them to anyone looking to get started or take their fitness to the next level!
Fantastic experience: I dropped in to do a workout here while on vacation. Great coaching and a great community. Very welcoming. Was also able to chat with the owner, Travis, after class and he is generous with his time and genuinely passionate about helping people.
Fantastic experience: I've been to every Crossfit gym in the Kansas City area and Fountain City Fitness is the best. Let's talk about why. 1. The owner. Gyms are often opened as an investment opportunity with distant or totally absent owners that leave their organization to a fragmented, less than enthusiastic team of "employees." Travis the owner is the exact opposite. Passionate about Crossfit, he's ready to share with you, in detail, why Crossfit is the best exercise ever invented, then coach a full class right after you finish speaking with him. He is the anchor that keeps the values of the gym in tact and does not let the quality of his coaches or facility waver. 2. The coaches. Gyms can have all the fancy equipment in the world, and trust me we have all been in very nice gyms with brand new equipment, all sitting empty. Without knowledgeable coaches that can train you how to perform the exercise well, keep you injury free, share the science and mechanics, and make it FUN, then the effort becomes boring, tedious and dangerous. Not so at Fountain City. Coaches are well trained, well spoken, courteous and happy to see you. And they'll push your limits so you see REAL results! 3. Programming. This is "what you do" during your workout hour. The choices of workouts, all done for you in advance, are tough but scaleable, making your performance from day to day flexible when you're not at your best, and adventurous when you're ready to give everything you've got. With regular attendance you'll handle everything: cardiovascular, strength and gymnastic dexterity. Crossfit turns average people into superheroes, one workout at a time. 4. Community. We hate big "Globo" gyms not because they're a bad place to get a good sweat in, it's because there is no community there! Working out alone is not for everyone, and at this gym you always have a tight knit group of friends cheering you on every workout. You will come to know many people in the gym very quickly, they're here for the same reasons you are. That makes each workout social, fun and dynamic because you will be someone else's rock just like you find strength in those people around you. That's the keystone to a strong organization like this one. So come join in! You will not regret it.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with amazing coaching staff. They are very accommodating and its a great spot to get into crossfit.
Loved having you in here Connor and excited for your next step!!
Fantastic experience: A place that you can grow as an athlete supported by a community of amazing people. It doesn’t matter what age or stage of life you were in, these people will support you through your fitness journey. No one is intimidating, everyone is encouraging, and you leave the gym feeling like you have had the best hour of your day. Drop in and try a class, I promise it will be the first day of your favorite fitness journey.
Anyone who drops in won't be able to help but enjoy themselves around you Bridget! We appreciate how much you include everyone in everything you do, and with a giant smile at that!! You're such a giant asset to FCF.
Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a visit September of 2023 and I am now happy to call this place my second home, and its members my new gym family. I had been looking for a gym space to call my own for a little while now and finally, I have found one. The coaches incredibly knowledgeable and the community is so amazing, friendly and inspiring. If you're looking for a welcoming atmosphere where you can get your fitness on, FCF is the place for you!
Toy! We've loved having you and way to make the November leaderboard for attendance as well!!!
Fantastic experience: I joined in June of 2023 and was immediate welcomed into the community! I've never been a part of a gym that cares for their members ao much. The members and coaches both genuinely car about your personal life as well as for your fitness journey. Can't recommend the gym enough.
We love having you and Tori around. Speaking of personal life though... we still need to plan a DnD night!
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a gym home in the Waldo area look no further. Friendly environment and community. Engaged and helpful coaching staff. Truly open and approachable for any fitness background.
Fantastic experience: Great community of people to help anyone on their fitness journey! Amazing coaches too that give you much more one on one coaching during a class than you will typically find at a CrossFit gym. Highly recommend! Have been here for over a year now…still loving it!
Fantastic experience: 5 stars for 5+ years of an incredible fitness community! FCF continues to be a non-intimidating space for people to grow in their overall health and fitness while receiving quality coaching. Give it a try!
Fantastic experience: HE BUYS THE GOOD TOILET PAPER This might be the best gym I’ve ever been to. I’ve lived in KC for over a decade and have tried countless gyms along my fitness journey. And to be honest with you, I wasn’t that excited about joining this gym. My former gym unexpectedly closed down, leaving me with a few options for group fitness in Waldo. However, since becoming a member in August, I've been blown away by the supportive community, engaging classes, and especially the AMAZING coaches who push me beyond my limits and keep everyone motivated. From the welcoming atmosphere, to the fun social events, Fountain City Fitness has it all. Earlier this year they even hosted a meal prep clinic, how rad is that?! If you're looking for an immaculate facility with good humans - Fountain City Fitness is the place for you.
We're happy you had the open mind to still give us a shot! You're fun personality has been such a great addition to our morning classes and we look forward to seeing you every day!!
Fantastic experience: This is a great place for many reasons. First, if your goal is to be fit, this is the place. Second, if your goal is to be healthy, this is the place. If you are looking for a community where you can fit in this is the place. FCF has something for people of all backgrounds, cultures, shapes, and sizes. The coaching is top notch -- they work to keep you injury free and will help you reach whatever goals you may have. Last, this community is a special special place. Everyone is so encouraging and you will make friends quickly. A bunch of very very nice people.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of this community for 7 years now, and I don’t know any other group I’ve been with in my adult life for that long. The community is full of wonderful people, and the coaches take a genuine interest in your growth and goals, no matter what those might be. Check them out, get in a great workout, and meet some incredible people.
Fantastic experience: Post-pandemic, I was really struggling with loneliness and while I had a consistent workout routine, I disliked having to do so alone. In February of 2023, I made the decision to join Fountain City Fitness, and while I have experienced significant benefits in my physical health, my mental health has also improved drastically. Being in a community of supportive and genuinely kind people is so important to me, and I've found that with this gym. Making time for the gym is a necessity - and I can tell the difference in my mood and outlook on the days where I can't get there. If you're feeling like something is missing for you from relational standpoint - and you'd like to prioritize your physical health as well - why not consider joining a gym like Fountain City? You won't regret it.
Fantastic experience: I was so anxious to join a gym, let alone a CrossFit gym, but I am so glad I found this place. I feel like I’m starting from 0 but the coaches are awesome. It feels like having a personal trainer while working out the way they keep you safe, give feedback and provide encouragement! I never thought I’d say I look forward to going to the gym, but I do here
Fantastic experience: To those who are looking for a quick drop-in spot and you're in the neighborhood, this is a good box to get your lift on. Coaches are good and the workouts are as expected. And if you're looking for a new gym or want to try something different than the usual box-gym environment or even if you're thinking of coming back to "working-out", try this spot too. The Crossfit name isn't intimidating anymore. The coaches are all trained to have your health in mind. And its members are all there to support one another. Heck, after putting in a good workout, we all can go grab coffee or a bite to eat next door! Personally, I've been a member for a few years now, and really the attentive coaches, the programming, and the community are what makes this place different than the big-box gyms in the neighborhood. Definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this gym! Not only have I been able to increase my overall health and wellbeing, I have found an incredible community. This is a gym for literally anyone and everyone! The coaches, the people , everyone.. are SO accepting and welcoming. I have been to a variety of other gyms that are 'cliquey' and hard to fit in. Not here. I could not praise or recommend this gym any more if I tried. Its FABULOUS! Run! dont walk to FCF! Another year, another review! I cannot say enough great things about this gym! The coaches are so helpful, knowledgable and motivating. I LOVE this gym!!
Fantastic experience: Really good gym with an even better community. I was pretty nervous trying CrossFit for the first time but All the staff were very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Love this place! All the coaches and clients are super helpful and friendly. It is definitely not as intimidating as I thought it would be.
Fantastic experience: I am so thankful I joined FCF almost a year ago. Travis and all the coaches do an excellent job each session. Their attention to everyone in class is unmatched. Highly recommend to anyone that is interested in improving their fitness, regardless of skill level or athleticism.
We appreciate you showing up for the tall guys!!! Here's getting your to 200 classes this year!
Fantastic experience: I made my way back to this gym as I was a member of the previously named "Brookside" Crossfit. It's been over 6 years for me and they welcomed me back with open arms and an amazing sense of community. Plus the coaching staff is not only knowledgeable, but caring and support driven. The facility is open and bright. ***1 Year Update*** Another reason I love my gym... How many gyms have themed nights to make super hard workouts fun?! Mine does! I couldn't be more proud of the folks in this pic (and the folks on the other 2 teams) for doing the Crossfit 24.1 workout...it was tough, y'all. I had SO MUCH FUN cheering these athletes on!!! (I did the workout this morning). THANK YOU, Travis Vanderberg, for creating a space for such camaraderie and positivity...that just happens to get us fit. In the last year, I've found it so much easier to dedicate myself to gym time going here. The results have been incredible, but the community is the best, bar none. So if you're looking for a gym, consider this one.
Kim, you've been a dream to have around. You inspire others by being vulnerable and an actual human about your fitness journey. I know others are better because you are in their class. Thank you for being the shining light of this great community!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for 4 years and this is the best gym I’ve ever been to! Great coaches and a great community. If you’re intimidated by CrossFit or group fitness it is such a welcoming and supportive environment! They’ve also helped me reach so many of my goals (pull ups, double unders) while staying safe and healthy.
We love you too Marge! You put in so much extra work to get your first pull up, it was my highlight of 2023. We can only help as hard as the athlete wants to work and your dedication to your fitness has always been unwavering and enviable. Proud to call you a friend.
Fantastic experience: I was intimidated by crossfit before coming to FCF, but the accommodating workouts and inviting environment changed my mindset! Best gym in KC :)
Now you're the one whose intimidating by crushing all your workouts Hope! Love having you in class and excited to keep working with you.
Fantastic experience: Fountain City Fitness has been our gym for several years now. It is a great community of people that do CrossFit, but also are there to support each other, no matter your level of fitness. The coaches are great and give personalized help to each person, and help you scale to your appropriate level of fitness. Highly recommend this great group of people!
You're the best Brooke. I appreciate all you do for us and the gym!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and CrossFit experience!! I’ve been a CrossFit athlete for 9 years and a coach for 6 and this place has my heart! From the care and dedication displayed by the owner and coaches, to the community created by the members, I can’t recommend a better place to work out and become a healthier version of yourself. Every class, while a group setting, feels personalized to where I am that particular day. The knowledge of the coaches in helping me to tailor the workouts is unmatched. Class times are convenient to fit my busy schedule and occasional “open gym” sessions are great to catch up if I missed a chance to work out earlier in the week. Love this place!
We're so glad we were able to find you Michelle. You bring so much knowledge from previous CF gyms and fit the mold of what we do perfectly.
Fantastic experience: Something’s you do in life just seem to fit. When I started at Fountain City 6 years ago I wondered if I could do it, if I would be embarrassed and who this Travis guy was. Turns out I could do it (so can you), I was accepted and supported even more so when I failed (happens all the time - especially the support), made life long friends who I look forward to seeing every time I go (don’t tell them I said that) and that Travis guy? He now owns the place and just keeps making it better and better. It’s a gem! Come Check it out!
Thanks John! That Travis guy is only as passionate as he is because he gets to help wonderful, committed people like you every day. #LivingTheDream
Fantastic experience: I’m in my 60s and have been coming here for a few years. The community is great. The coaches are fantastic. Everything is scaled to help you live a better life to help you be fit for life! This is a place where you can improve yourself and get healthier. It’s not about competition it’s about everybody achieving their goals. I do a class week +2 sessions of personal training each week. Travis is phenomenal owner and coach, and has become a good friend!
Jim, I've gained more from having you around than you have from me. I've loved getting the 1:1 time from personal training to create our relationship (and also watching your fitness SKYROCKET when others your age are plummeting).
Fantastic experience: Community community community! This place treats you like you’re part of a beautiful fit family.
And we're so thankful you added a daughter in your time with us to grow our family as well!!
Fantastic experience: I am quite new to Crossfit. I always thought I was not for me as I have quite extensive previous injuries. I found out this is totally incorrect. The coaches and staff here are amazing and adapt and change the parts of the workout to fit my abilities and bodily function. After only 6 months others are completing me on the changes seen in my physical appearance. If you are in the fence give them a call and go to the meeting I am so glad I did.
You're an inspiration to many people Lion and we can only help people as willing as you are to adapt to their own needs. Your willingness to be coached and put in the work are why you've seen those results!
Fantastic experience: FCF is not only a great space to build strength, but also relationships with supportive and fit people.
You would know, you're always the first one to say hi to new people and make sure they feel welcome!
Fantastic experience: This has been my gym since 2013 and joining was one of the very best decisions I have ever made! Travis and his incredible coaching staff have never failed to meet my fitness goals and expectations and they also make fitness a lot of fun! Great people, great programming, coaches who really care about you. Come check us out. You won’t regret it!!
We've gained more out of having you around for 10 YEARS(!!!) than you've gotten from us Stu. Thank you for the smiles, laughter, and commitment every Monday/Wednesday/Friday like clockwork.
Fantastic experience: Travis and the whole team at FCF are top notch! The sense of community and the attentive coaching make this place a true standout. If you're curious about CrossFit, I highly recommend giving FCF a shot.
It has been such a pleasure getting to coach you Frank!! We love the positive mentality you bring to class every day and can't wait to hear about your triathlon successes for 2024!!
Fantastic experience: This is my first attempt at Crossfit, and I couldn't be happier with the gym. The instructors are top notch, help you learn the proper form to each exercise, and push the class to always do one extra rep. For my personal fitness journey, FCF is exactly what I needed. For any newcomers, do not feel intimidated coming to this gym because it's a very welcoming atmosphere with great people.
Thanks Curtis! You've been so fun to have around with your natural athleticism tied with your desire to get better, I can't wait to see what you can do!!
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Solid equipment and the staff is top notch. Kids corner is great too!
Fantastic experience: Wrapping up my first year at FCF and all of my expectations have been exceeded. My strength, flexibility and endurance have all improved. The coaching is top notch. Travis and team do a great job explaining the movements and provide tons of options for scaling. Great place for anyone looking to try CrossFit or just generally physically improve.
Thanks so much Chris! It helps that you're so dedicated to showing up every single day and having a coachable mindset. It's been great watching you progress!
Fantastic experience: I went to this gym 5 years ago and was so excited to rejoin when I moved back to the neighborhood. I was impressed to see many familiar faces from the past, which says a lot about the community and quality of FCF. I love the welcoming atmosphere and challenging workouts made approachable thanks to the guidance and support of the coaches. It’s so nice to genuinely look forward to going to the gym. Great people, great place!
Thank you Rachel! I know we were excited to see your name pop back up on our roster! It always great to have other small business owners involved.
Fantastic experience: Travis and crew are amazing coaches who perfectly balance accountability and understanding of the athlete’s journey. FCF is a welcoming environment filled with variety of people who all care about improving and growing as humans. Happy to be a member.
We've loved having you Evan. Not all great athletes are as coachable as you are and that sets a precedent for a great welcoming environment for everyone.
Fantastic experience: Great coaching, great atmosphere, great gym overall! I've been here for about 2-3 weeks and can confidently say i will continue my crossfit journey with FCF.
It's awesome to have you in the gym Efren! Can't wait for years of new PR's for you.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city
Man of few words, makes this statement all the more meaningful!
Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a workout at Fountain City Fitness while visiting family in KC. It was a great experience all around. Great workout, great coaching, supportive fellow athletes and a nice facility. They made me feel welcome. I look forward to returning to FCF during my future visits to KC.
Hey Sara! It was a pleasure having you and we can't wait for you to come visit family again!
Fantastic experience: This is my favorite place! I went to my first class at 14, and 4 years later I feel confident enough to Olympic lift in my scary college gym!! Yay!! Thank you FCF ❤️
We're so proud of you Emmy! I'm sure you made others scared at your college gym... now come back home for Summer please.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for a little over three years. The classes are great and so are the coaches. They are concerned about your health and fitness. It’s a great group of people, a great community. It’s about camaraderie and not competition. Personal training is excellent as well, I’ve been doing that for about eight months
Jim, I wish I could train a thousand just like you! But then we wouldn't have time for coffee after our training sessions...
Fantastic experience: I’ve joined countless gyms and never found one that I loved until being introduced to Fountain City Fitness. For the first time ever, I look forward to working out. Great coaches and even better members!
Fantastic experience: Honestly I lost count of how many gyms I tried out before running into FCF to finally feel like I belong here! With amazing coaches and scalable workout options, I always leave the class feeling happier and stronger than I walked in. And to say this community is the best is an understatement. Everyone is so welcoming! I absolutely LOVE being a part of this gem of a place!
Fantastic experience: I found Fountain City Fitness while I was in grad school working towards a degree in Physical Therapy. I wanted workouts that required very little thinking on my part; FCF totally delivered! Fountain City is “physical therapist approved” and even works closely with area clinics on maintaining strong and healthy athletes! I love the focus on preventative health and wellness here. If you’re looking for a safe & fun way to jump into the CrossFit world, come hangout with us!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful community and inclusive of all fitness levels! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym I lost over 100lbs coming here for the past 4 years
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Fountain City since October 2022. I have tried a couple gyms, but I can truly say this place will not only strengthen your body, but your mentality, and positivity. Everyone always makes me feel welcome and included. There is a healthy amount of competition if that's what motivates you, but there is also a ton of encouragement and kindness in a judgement-free zone. There are all ages and levels of fitness here so you need never feel like the odd person out. The coaches are super knowledgeable, funny, and have great energy. Fitness is what you make it, but you can only grow at Fountain City Fitness.
Fantastic experience: Wow! So incredibly thankful for this gym and this community. The coaches are knowledgeable and motivating, without pushing you farther than you want to go. I’ve been coming here for a few months and definitely feel stronger and more confident to try new things
Fantastic experience: I joined the gym in 2017 and have been here ever since. I’ve joined gyms before but never had the result nor the supportive community that I’ve found here. Went from a size 36 waste to 33 in in about 6 months and am still there not to mention the added strength and some really great friendships!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out/training at this gym for a long time. But it would be more accurate to say I’ve been getting fit with this group of people. The workouts are great (I love CrossFit methodology), the facility is great, but that’s true of a lot of places. What keeps me at Fountain City is the people—owner, coaches, and members—for whom this is a true community. And what’s more, there’s always excitement about and room for more people to be a part.
Fantastic experience: They say pictures are worth a thousand words. Here are some of my before and after pictures (still a work in progress and I will continue to wear the same shorts). I came to FCF with a dad bod, see pictures, and a goal to live a healthier lifestyle for myself, and my kids. I have put in the work and FCF has been there to assist me in achieving/exceeding my expectations. Fountain City Fitness has been a community that continually shows support for everyone who walks through the door. They care about your goals, whatever they may be, and provide the tools and resources to achieve. I am grateful for the friendships and community found at FCF. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Travis is Awesome and I love this place. Great group!!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great people.
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable coaches, very inviting gym culture, convenient class times. I'd highly recommend checking out Fountain City Fitness.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of this gym for a few months now, and it’s been fun, challenging, and community-building. I used to think CrossFit was only for crazy fit and intense athletes, but here I feel safe to scale workouts to my abilities and knee injury AND I still get a heck of a workout every time. The coaches are kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and non judgmental.
Fantastic experience: It's great. It's at great workout and a great community.
Fantastic experience: Great workouts, coaches, and most importantly, community. I started at Fountain City Fitness several years ago (when I weighed 30+ pounds more than I do now). Being part of this community has helped me lead a healthier lifestyle.
Fantastic experience: Great community, programming, and coaching. I’ve been a member at FCF for over a year and highly recommend checking it out. Regardless of your fitness level, you will feel welcomed, well cared for, and on a path to better health.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to FCF since the Fall of 2019. It has been life changing being a part of this fitness community. Wonderful people, great workouts, and Travis has been such a fun guy to get to know. Definitely come check it out!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at this box for about a year and a half now. I love the community they provide. The coaches are great and help push you to be better while keeping you safe as well. Definitely recommend dropping in for a class!
