The BEST coaches, the BEST community, the BEST workouts! Everyone at CrossFit 161 is incredibly supportive and encouraging. The coaches are amazing at dialling in on each individual member and teaching, motivating and pushing them wherever needed. Their focus on foundations and technique is like no other facility I’ve witnessed. Which leads to optimal performance and continued growth in every member! It’s truly for everyone, from beginner to high performance athlete!

My husband purchase the one on one session with Wade as a Mother’s Day gift. I wanted to get back into working out since the birth of my son. I always wanted to try CrossFit and have one on one sessions since after having a c-section my body just wasn’t responding the same to workouts anymore. Wade took the time to incorporate my physiotherapy exercise and explained the importance of mobility exercises that go hand in hand with CrossFit. He also went at my pace and showed me the variety of exercises along with the technique in CrossFit. Wade & Rachelle were very welcoming, professional and friendly coaches. What I liked about CrossFit 161 is the variety in age of people. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

I love CrossFit 161! The coaches work hard to make sure whatever workout you’re doing is performed safely and are great at modifying workouts as necessary. Not only do you get a great workout in, the community here is great, where you really do know everyone’s name, and everyone is so encouraging!

Attending CrossFit 161 is a genuine pleasure. The owner coaches work diligently to prep & teach a wide variety of classes. I especially appreciate the modifications that allow me to continue working out. In addition to high quality workouts, they create a feel good, do good culture through their supportive & thoughtful leadership, & building caring relationships. The workouts are challenging, varied & different every day. The result is happy clients committed to maintaining good health and living active lives.

Crossfit 161 offers exactly what I was looking for when I took out a membership three years ago. Now at age 68 years, I am confident to trust the coaching team with programming for my unique needs. The coaches run classes with athletes ranging vastly in age, fitness and ability/agility. I always feel encouraged, challenged and safe. If I show up and do the work, I get results. This gym is a good fit for everyone. The facility is great! The coaches are top notch, prepared and focused every time.

I only have good things to say about this gym. As someone who was not familiar with Cross-fit, the coaches were so easy to train with and such great teachers. It is a "fun" training environment, the coaches always break the ice with a "question of the day". I highly recommend this gym.

By far the best place to go for your fitness needs no matter what level you are at. Coaches get to know each and everyone’s fitness level and scale or push you appropriately to your needs and abilities. Quality is KEY! Great community of support to keep you motivated!

A great community to be a part of! The coaches check in with you and will modify movements to individualize workouts, always ensuring everyone’s needs are met. I highly recommend CF161- It’s the most welcoming gym I have ever been a part of!

Christine Medders

Regardless of where you are in your fitness journey you will feel welcome immediately. Here you will find excellent coaches, a great sense of community and always an encouraging word. Physical limitations are accomodated as well and workouts are geared to what you can do. I highly recommend CrossFit 161!

Pat Aldred

I would not hesitate to recommend this gym. This is a solid “community” with a variety of member skill levels and goals. Knowledgeable coaches are attentive to individual needs with a good focus on proper technique. Workouts are well designed to provide a good balance of strength, flexibility and conditioning with class sizes limited to afford personalized attention.

I have been with CrossFit 161 since it opened 5 years ago. I sincerely enjoy and appreciate the atmosphere Wade and Rachelle have created at the gym. They have worked extremely hard to ensure the people at the gym are, not only well coached, but well cared for. They have built a supportive, dedicated, fun and positive community. Workouts are neeeeeevvvverrrrr easy but they are always fun and rewarding! And knowing there are always people cheering you on and supporting you in your goals causes you to continually push yourself to do better! I am very grateful for the gym Wade and Rachelle have built and for the good things and people it has brought to my life. There’s really no place like it!

Wade helped me with a awful knee injury that required 17 screws, three plates, a new ACL and MCL. He’s a very thought out, easy going guy who strikes a good balance between pushing people but not overdoing it. He’s very passionate about seeing people live a healthy balanced life. I found my place at the morning class. Good hard working, friendly, down to earth people there. Give Wade a call, meet for a introduction. In my opinion it’s well worth the time and money.
