  • We aren't in the resolution business. Big gyms rely on the money that New Year brings because they expect you to sign a contract and never come after the first few weeks. We don't work like that. We keep overhead low by keeping the temp cold in the winter. We buy equipment that gets used all the time. We expect you to come in 3-5 days a week for an hour of jam-packed training time. 
    • Resolutions are for folks who want temporary solutions to long-term issues. We're in the lifestyle change business and friend, business is good. Just ask our athletes!
    • CrossFit North Fort Collins: 4950 square feet of strength and conditioning, nutrition counseling, massage therapy and kick-ass athletes of every size, shape and ability. We have stay at home moms that kick butt, we have former collegiate athletes that rock and everyone in between!

    Don't resolve to get a membership to some fancy gym that has a sauna and a full bar and no accountability. Come learn how to eat right and get work done. It doesn't have to be fun to be fun!

    ]]>    New Year's New Athlete Deal!http://www.cfnfc.com/blog/2011/12/28/new-years-new-athlete-deal.htmlCrossFit North Fort Collins2011-12-28T15:48:13Z2011-12-28T15:48:13ZRamp-Ups are 5, instructional one-on-one personal training sessions that introduce you to correct biomechanics of the most common lifts and CrossFit exercises as well as an hour of Paleo nutrition information and counseling from our in house nutrition guru Heather Kelly and OPENutrition. They are $150 and which works out to $30 an hour; a great price for personal training wherever you go.

    For the first few weeks of January, to help get you motivated to change your lifestyle and get fit for good, if you mention the "New Deal" you'll pay $120 a month for the first 3 months of training after your Ramp Up. That's like $30 off your Ramp Up. After that, the normal price of $130 per month applies. We're going to kick start your health, show you what nutrition works and get you ready for spring!

    The Ramp Up program is a mandatory program at CFNFC unless you can prove equivalent training at another CF gym, and waiverable if you hold a CFL1 certification.
