How It Started (And Why It’s Different Now)
From a CrossFit box to a Gym that fits real life.

Next Level Training began as a CrossFit facility—but when new ownership took over, so did a new vision. We kept the grit and determination, but swapped out the high-pressure atmosphere for a more supportive, accessible gym model.

Today, we offer traditional gym equipment, functional training zones, boxing, and classes designed for everyone—from total beginners to lifelong athletes.
