Reviews of Prairie CrossFit (Gym)

Shehzad Sidhu

Its been 4-5 months that I have been working out at this great facility. The team is professional and genuinely dedicates time and effort to get you the results. I have become stronger and faster since I joined it. The best part is the support/equipments/classes that we are getting at home in the Lockdown. Thanks for the Zoom classes and just making sure that we stay fit. I would highly recommend anyone to give it a shot and I am sure that you’ll get addicted to Crossfit .

I dropped in for a couple of days as a visitor. What a nice, friendly (to people and dogs) and well-equipped place!

Jeff Stadnyk

Prairie CrossFit has friendly, knowledgeable coaching staff and great programs for any age and ability. I participate with my teenage son and he loves going as well! The members are friendly and there is a real welcoming environment for the beginner! A well maintained facility with ample parking. Child friendly too! A great place to work your butt off!

Ally Peters

Great place! All staff are amazing and so friendly! You feel great after each workout!

Christian Martinez

The owners and coaches are incredible! Great community and atmosphere. I'm one of those students who started from "zero" - didn't have any structured gym experience beforehand. Naturally, I was kind of nervous about signing up, but I wanted to take a step toward improving my health and fitness. The coaches were very encouraging. There is such a sense of community and support that one couldn't help but feel welcome. I was given (and continue to receive) detailed instruction as I needed it. My fellow PCF members are awesome too! I couldn't speak more highly of the PCF community! I'd definitely recommend to family, friends, and others.

Prairie Crossfit has changed my life...body, mind and spirit. Truly "Strength in Community."

Kelly Porath

I love this place! Everyone is so down to earth and supportive. I love everyone cheering for each other. This is definitely my "safe/happy place." Go for an awesome work-out and connect with awesome people!

Sydney Driedger

Love this gym! Love the variety in the workouts. I came to them with the Groupon for Unloaded classes and found myself challenged and learning exercises I've never done before. The gym has a place for children to play and keep to while parents are busy with their workouts and the gym is also dog friendly! Often instructors will have pups with them and generally leash them during class times. Will definitely be coming back!

Eric Poppleton

Started going to Prairie CrossFit in October 2019 and am loving this place! The coaches are amazing and the workouts are never boring. Everything can be scaled to your ability. I've already had a few "firsts" at the gym - like rope climbs and strict pull-ups. Never done those before, ever! Community is awesome too - do yourself a favor and get down here!

JP Madden

Great facility, solid instruction and AWESOME community.

Steven Bradley

Very welcoming, progressive owners, care about their athletes. Great space.

Kittie Wong

I have been a member for over three years and I love going there. The owners and staff are great. They are knowledgeable folks and will be your biggest cheerleaders in your quest to be healthier and stronger no matter how old you are. It's also a great community when you start to get to know the other members who are sweating along with you. Nothing but supportive because we're all in it together. If you want a great workout and a great community, you really should consider these folks.

Cat Horbatiuk

Amazing community, coaches, members, programming & facility. Lots of options for all abilities, as well as access to a national level weightlifting club, Hercules.

Jedd Ylagan

Been going here for a month now(been doing CrossFit for 2 years). CrossFit is an amazing community and working out here is a whole other level. I would highly suggest this gym and CrossFit in general to anyone looking to make a change in their life. No matter what your level of fitness is, CrossFit is for you. Seriously, I've seen tons of people start out with no sorts of abilities and with just a little time and effort, I've seen their lives change. It's amazing

Tamara Watson-Burgess

The staff and members here are wonderful, they do everything they can to make us feel comfortable but also provide a great workout that is great for everyone!

Chris Culleton-Koebel

Great workouts, coaches and community

I joined PCF relatively recently after my previous box, CF204, closed. I immediately noticed a few things that I like about PCF. First, I had an opportunity to train with a number of coaches. They are all super-friendly and knowledgeable, but they add a little bit of their individuality and personal “tricks” in coaching and I learn more. Second, the workouts are very structured. Warm-up is followed by heavy lifting or OLY and then finished with conditioning. All workouts are different, but every time we hit all targets. I like this a lot. Plus, there is always a performance and lifestyle variation of the workout developed ahead of time. So, if I am recovering from a trauma, a coach doesn’t have to develop a scale-down for me “on the fly”, I can just do lifestyle variation or something in between. Third, I like the setup of the box. Each athlete has a barbell rack, pull-up bar, gymnastic rings, rowing machine and assault bike right in their station, so there is no need to constantly wander from station to station. The box is well-equipped and has tons of gear for every workout. Finally, in response to covid the box was divided into individual “pods” that allow each athlete to workout 2 metres from one another and be safe. I highly recommend PCF.

Great gym!

Lots of class times to fit any schedule. Modifications for every fitness level.

Carolina Ximena (Authentic Souls Club)

I love Prairie CrossFit so much. If you're even thinking about making a healthy change in your life - this is definitely the place to start. ALL levels are welcome. Before I joined, I had never even touched a barbell IN MY LIFE before. And within 6 months, I competed in my first competition. No disrespect to other CrossFit gyms, but the ones I've checked out before seemed very... elite? And intimidating. Whereas at Prairie CrossFit the talent, and the knowledge are there... but the community is SO welcoming. It's no surprise that the gym motto is "Strength in Community" because you definitely feel that when you walk into the gym. They've become a branch of my family. Dogs, babies, "masters," long-time athletes, novice CrossFitters - everyone has a place here and I'm grateful i get to be a part of that. CrossFit is the one sport where your "competitors," as soon as they finish, will immediately turn around and start cheering you on to push through.

Nicole Cruickshank

Prairie CrossFit offers a welcoming environment with a wonderful team of coaches dedicated to everyone’s individual success. Their CrossFit Unloaded program is a great opportunity to get fit through intense but motivating workouts - all while meeting other people with similar fitness goals!

Eric Kapilik

Terrific CrossFit gym! Very welcoming community for athletes of all of levels. Great facility with all the equipment a CrossFitter would need!

Paloma Carvalho

Best place to get your workout done with a great community! Changed my lifestyle completely!

James Watson-Burgess

My wife and I had a trial workout today, first time trying CrossFit. The instructor was great and was really helpful in walking us through the various movements and scaling things for us newbies! ???? Would recommend them if you're curious and looking to try it out.

Curtis Orrock

It's not a gym. It's something better than a gym. I've been going since November and I love it. People are friendly and there is a strong sense of community in the club. The coaches care about you and your results, and encourage and correct as needed. The environment is very supportive as well as inspiring. It's what every gym should aspire to be. I have had nothing but gains since starting, and feel stronger every week. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is starting out or looking to take things to the next level. If you are new to crossfit try the On ramp. I did and I found it to be a really good intro. It slowly built me up to do a regular class, and showed me alternate movements I could use for some of the more difficult exercises. They will scale anything to meet your current ability. It's a pretty great place.

Allie Delaney

I live in Toronto, but travel to Winnipeg regularly for work and was looking for a great place to work out - and I found it! I reached out via email prior to coming to the gym and Mandy was awesome. On my first day Derek and Mandy were so welcoming and though I have only been able to get to a few classes on my travels they were challenging yet able to be scaled down if necessary. Between AoL in Toronto and PC in Winnipeg I am covered! :)

Randi MacLean

We have been going to Prairie CrossFit for 4.5 years now. We love it. It's motivating, challenging and fun! Working out along side some great coaches and members is the best ????????

Gwen Long

Don't think Crossfit is only for the young and fit! Being two of the oldest at this gym, Vic and I are motivated by the positive atmosphere and encouragement we receive from Mandy, Derek, all the coaches and our friends. The younger members keep us young as we workout side by side and they cheer us on. We love getting healthy in a fun and positive environment.

Remi Gagnon

Prairie CrossFit is the best thing that has happened to our family. We have been going there for almost a year. We started off with the Crossfit Unloaded classes and progressed to the dark side aka regular Crossfit classes once we were comfortable. The coaches empower you to do your best within your capabilities. The support from all the PCF members makes this feel like a true community. Beginner or expert, there's a place for you at PCF!

Jenna Chin

I started attending Prairie CrossFit about a year and a half ago because I was looking to try something new and also to challenge myself. I didn't know what to expect, but I was accepted with a warm welcome into this gym family, and now I am hooked. I have not only improved my strength, endurance and speed from attending Prairie, but I have also gained valuable diet tips for sustaining a healthy life style, and learned new fitness and weight lifting techniques. Prairie CrossFit has such a strong sense of community and welcomes everyone to their gym no matter what level of fitness you consider yourself at. Whether you are a gym rat, or have never stepped into a gym before, the coaches at Prairie are always there for you to help guide you through the workouts and tailor them to your specific needs. I highly recommend this gym if you are looking to improve your fitness level, want to learn proper weight lifting technique, or just want something new and fun to experience!

Kelli Heinrich

I'd never done Crossfit before but there was still classes available in my skill level, and the veteran members and coaches were very supportive and helpful.

Jayne Rees

PCF - best decision I made.. I was looking to get active again..took a chance with PCF ( just up the road) and never looked back! Great owners & great coaches! I really cant say enough aboout how great this gym is and the "family" that train there..

Glen Grist

The Coaches are top notch and there is a great sense of community....plus you will get in shape ! Thanks PCF! I have recommended this program and facility many many times to others.

Kristina Kelley-Walsh

Amazing workouts for anyone at any level. We have been doing the unloaded classes and have loved every diverse workout we’ve done. The coaches are knowledgeable and motivating and keep you pushing yourself throughout each workout.

Paul Lanthier

I have been coming to Prairie CrossFit (PCF) for over 5 years now and I was instantly exposed to awesome people and great knowledgeable staff. Coming from a running background, I did very little lifting until I came to PCF. At PCF, I have been taught so many proper lifting and gymnastics techniques in which I have made many gains. Thank you PCF for improving my life.

Melanie DeCarlo

I love Prairie Crossfit! Great facility, great owners, and great people! You'll feel like family from the moment you walk in door.

Scott Kilmury

LOVE going to Prairie CrossFit!! The coaches are all really helpful and motivating, and the workouts are awesome! I always look forward to going! And they’ve done a great job of adapting to workouts under COVID, so I always feel safe there. Feels like family!

Scott Anderson

I have been apart of this gym since it opened and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Great members and owners. You'll find me here for many many more years to follow.

Caitlin Mackie

I was looking for something to get me back into shape after having my baby, and I don't think I could have found a more fun, affordable, and accommodating gym! The coaches are second to none and are always encouraging us and motivating us to better ourselves! The first class is always free, which is nice, because it gives you a chance to really get the feel for a CrossFit workout! I am so thankful that I found Prairie CrossFit - my body is transforming in front of my eyes and it's so exciting to see and I am so much stronger than I ever thought I would be! I can't talk this place up enough..I just love it so much!!!

Jayson Adams

Been a member here for over 5 years! Thanks to the coaches and other athletes I've learned many skills (and will always be encouraged to continue to improve). It's great to see all the new faces and familiar ones too. This truly is my happy place and I look forward to coming here and being a better version of myself everyday.

Sasha Herwig

I love Prairie Crossfit! It's a super inclusive atmosphere with a great community feeling. The coaches and owners are motivating and encouraging, they want to see everyone succeed. No matter what your fitness level, there is something here for you! Since coming here, I've achieved fitness goals I didn't think possible anymore, and that is priceless!! Thank you PCF!

Nicole L

Before Prairie CrossFit I was going to the gym regularly but I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. Prairie CrossFit changed that! Although I still have a ways to go, I credit them for helping me get into the best shape of my life. The workouts are awesome and the coaches work hard at tailoring the workouts to each members needs/fitness level. The gym has a great sense of community, as a group we want everyone to succeed! If you want a good bang for your buck I highly recommend Prairie Crossfit. They've provided me with invaluable fitness + diet tips and RESULTS that in my opinion you will not get from a regular gym. Can't thank these guys enough!!

Eduardo Belik

Prairie Crossfit lives up to its motto! I have been working out there for 1 year and the owners, coaches and other members keep me coming back. The facility is fantastic and the equipment is great. I recommend PCF to everyone!

Suzie Thompson

Love this gym! I have been a member for a year now and couldn’t be happier. The community there is more like another family to me and it has become my “happy place”. The coaches and community are so friendly and encouraging. You are guaranteed a friendly face and a smile when walking through the door. The coaches are always there pushing you past your limit, while making sure you continue to perfect your technique!

Tara

This place is such a breath of fresh air. You'll be challenged, yet supported the entire time you're working out at PCF. The coaches are extremely knowledgable, and build you up to work hard - yet they are mindful of where you're at with your training. This gym is very beginner friendly and is not intimidating whatsoever. As a side note: dogs and babies are always welcome at PCF which is also so nice to see! People are able to train whether they're parents to babies, or fur babies! Would highly recommend!!

Anne Edwardsson

Great coaches chill vibe and top notch equipment. The workouts are hard but they get results and you can scale or modify them as needed if you are just starting out. Love that they offer “unloaded” classes - no barbells needed for this weights + cardio class :)

Morgan Murray

Seriously awesome gym. I can't wait to get to PCF every day and I always feel absolutely amazing afterwards. The coaches and members are all awesome and super encouraging, and everyday I leave feeling proud of myself for what I was able to do in that workout, thanks to PCF. If you wanna have fun, feel proud, and do things that you never thought you'd be able to do, go to PCF!

Jana Slaght

An amazing gym. Crossfit can seem intimidating but the community here welcomes and embraces everyone, no matter what level of fitness you are starting from.

Tenzing Bhutia

I’ve been going to the gym for a year and suffice to say ALL the trainers have been great. I owe my body to Mandy 1 and 2, Derick, Katlyn, Jana, Stef and Brad! They live what they preach and are a great example of how to maximize your best assets and look after yourself. I attend classes regularly and I can say that they are solid, fun and varied. Absolutely no two are the same so you get a great full body workout, and if lifting is your thing, that is also incorporated into the routines. They push everyone (regardless of fitness levels,) to their own individual optimum, so even though you’re in a class it also feels like you have your own personal trainer. Really can’t say enough good things about Them and I’m super happy with results. THANK YOU Prairie CrossFit !!

Kylea Buchanan

A great place to go workout! It’s a very welcoming and accommodating gym. The coaches always push you to do your best and are very knowledgeable!!

Rae Gagnon

Great coaches, great community.

Kristen O'Keefe

When I moved back to Winnipeg I wanted to find a new gym and had multiple places in mind to try out. My first class at Prairie Crossfit sold me and I joined right then and there without trying any other gyms around the city. As their slogan states, 'strength in community' could not be more true. A strong sense of family, hard work and dedication is seen as soon you walk in the doors, they welcome you by name and make you feel as if you've known the coaches and other members for years! I am proud to be apart of this family.

Robert Tibayan

A community of fun, friendly, competitive yet very supportive people. The gym has a lot of space and equipment for everyone working out. The coaches are competent and super nice too! Highly recommended!

Heather Dayholos

Being new to crossfit, I fell in love right after my first class. A Mommy and Me class, which I bring a little one and the members babysit for me while I get my sweat on. You couldn't ask for a better way to work out. No excuses now! I have been in the best shape ever and can't wait to see more changes. Everyone is very encouraging and knowledgeable. Love, love, love it!

MrBjorntsc

Dropped in on a work trip. Really friendly and clean. Workout is as hard as you want it to be.

Mae Khanuja

My first review ever, I absolutely LOVE Prairie Crossfit. I was looking for something different in my workout routine and decided to give this place a try with a groupon purchase that I made. Little did I know that I would be hooked! I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary at PCF and there will be many more to celebrate in the future. The owners, Derek and Mandy, both share their passion for this sport. They are extremely knowledgeable and have built a community of loyal followers. The entire coaching staff are amazing! The crew at PCF has made it easy for their clients to continue workouts during this COVID pandemic, constantly pivoting and changing with the local government restrictions and ensuring that our safety is their top concern. As we head into another lockdown phase, I know that they are already in the process of figuring out how to keep all of us actively engaged. From Zoom and Facebook live classes, to keeping us engaged as a community through virtual challenges, I have felt a part of this community even during times when we have only met virtually. PCF is alot more than just your local crossfit gym, from personal training to skills clinics, health clinics, and nutrition challenges. I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Morgan Porath

Before trying PCF I had never done most of these exercises in my LIFE. The coaches walked me through all the moves until I felt comfortable. Everyone there was super encouraging. After the work out I felt like a hero! I loved the moves. (And I knew that I was going to be sore tomorrow).
