CrossFit 2.2

I must say I was skeptical and nervous about joining a new gym, but this place and the people who attend are AWESOME! I've felt welcome since day one. Nick is a fantastic coach, he takes the time to instruct you on techniques you need to work on and motivates you in a truly inspirational way. If you want to get your sweat on with a group of badass and encouraging folks, this is the way to go!

This is the third year that I have dropped in here. I drop in twice a year for a few weeks at a time. I usually hit the morning classes, which Nick is the coach. He does a fantastic job making sure people have correct form. Even though I just drop in, he still works with me as if I was a regular member there. I've been to plenty of boxes traveling, and this one is definitely high on my favorites list. There are other boxes around here, but I've never been to them because I enjoy the workouts here and feel comfortable with the professional coaching. Thanks for being so welcoming Nick!

I have been at CrossFit 2.2 for about 7 months and this is the first gym that has kept me interested and wanting to go everyday. Before I joined 2.2 I worked out at other local gyms and fitness programs and would get good results but would lose interest after a few months. With 2.2 I am excited to go everyday because the workouts are always changing which has given me the best results physically. The coaches and other members are awesome at keeping everybody motivated throughout the workouts. Since joining I have completed my first 5k race, and I plan on competing in competition in the near future.

If you are interested in joining a new place to workout, then check this place out. I wish I would have tried it earlier. I have been here for a year and a half, and it is awesome with great people.

You might think, wow, that is a lot of money to pay for a gym, but you get what you pay for. Each class has a great coach to guide you through the workouts. Coaching ratio is usually 8-10 to 1 (sometimes smaller and sometimes larger). Nick (coach) does all the programming so you just come in and workout. How much is your health worth?

You might think that you can't do it or you are not ready. All the coaches are great at scaling things down to accommodate rookies. I was really grateful at how smart they were about this when I first started. There is a wide range of skill levels and ages (18-60+). You can do it now!

The people are pretty awesome! I have learned a ton from people in class. So many people are willing to help out.

It is challenging, humbling, and fun. There is a huge variety in things that we do (Olympic weightlifting, gymnastic movements, rope climbs, jump rope, box jumps, pull ups, running.... etc). The most important thing is it keeps me interested to keep going so I stay healthy.

Top. Notch. Experience.
2.2 is the gym you want to be at to chase all of your fitness goals. All the staff are beyond competent, which is sometimes hard to find. All of them range in experience and knowledge that will more than get you going to your dream bod. I hear that sometimes they get a drop in by the best dressed homeless man of cedar rapids and he shares his knowledge of Olympic weightlifting as well, tho that's like sighting bigfoot these days. Overall you can't go wrong with checking this gym out. You will be treated as family and be taught by scholars.

If you are looking for an athletic activity that will change your life, Crossfit 2.2 is a great start to begin/continue your journey to a healthier, fitter, and overall more positive you. A good friend of mine tried to convince me to start Crossfit for about 6 months until I finally got up the nerve to try it out. Low and behold there was a perfect fit right in my neighborhood, Crossfit 2.2! All the coaches have a great vision for what Crossfit should be like: a self-motivating experience that challenges your mind, body, and soul. The workouts are hard, competitive, but incredibly rewarding. The more you push yourself, the more you get out of going. Again, it's all about you! Don't worry though, the coaches and athletes that work at Crossfit 2.2 are very supportive and are always willing to help you improve your times and increase your lifts to unbelievable weights! I never thought I could just throw 135 pounds over my head and squat. Insane! The "community" feel to at this box is also fantastic! The new box on Hiawatha is ridiculously roomy and feels good to work out in a space where you can practice your skills after or before each WOD. I HIGHLY recommend Crossfit 2.2 to anyone looking to make an incredibly positive change in their life.

I started at CF2.2 as what was expected to be another failed New Year's Resolution on the first Monday of January 2019. I was knocking on the door of 280 pounds, and was generally sluggish and constantly winded my even menial amounts of exercise. I didn't like my chances of sticking it out, I used to lift weights in high school and I didn't really like it then and I was "too busy."

By October 2019 I was down 50 plus pounds, ran a half marathon in 2:05 (with no practice runs), and just felt tremendously better. So in terms of results, they have been fantastic. Two plus months post half marathon later I have survived the holidays with minimal weight gain, which is not an easy task for me.

More so than the results I've enjoyed the relationships with the staff and with others in the gym. It's a part of my day I look forward to greatly.

I'd recommend this place to great athletes that miss competition, to people that need structure to exercise, to people looking for something fun to do, and people like me 12 months ago just trying to live a better life and interested in taking the steps to get there.

Come check it out.

The people are the reason. The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly to everyone. The members are there to improve themselves and are so helpful regardless of you have been there a day or a year. Don’t let the weights and bars scare you away. Meet with a coach. Talk through it all. You will not regret it.

Cool box. Classic Crossfit vibe.
Great coach. Laid-back. Helpful. Brings the energy.
Awesome community. Dropped in, talked to a few folks about why they joined and they all said it had to do with the community, and you can tell.
5/5 stars
