I am so happy that I joined Crossfit Una Stamus gym. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by a great family that truly cares about me - not just as a member, but as a person. Every class is different, with varied workouts that keep me engaged and challenged, whether it’s strength training, cardio, or skill work. I leave each session feeling stronger and more energized, ready to start my day on a positive note. The coaches notice how I’m doing throughout the class, adjusting exercises to fit my pace and encouraging me to push a little further when I need it. It’s this combination of variety, support, and genuine care that makes Una Stamus stand out and keeps me coming back.
Coaching at Crossfit Una Stamus is amazing. Every workout session is filled with energy and encouragement, making it not just a place to exercise but a space where friendships naturally form. Almost 2 years in, I can honestly say my life is 1000% better. I feel stronger and more capable than I have in the past 20 years, which is incredible at my age. The coaches pay close attention to each person's form and energy levels, adjusting workouts to fit where you are that day, which keeps every session challenging but doable. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, and the variety of exercises keeps me engaged and excited to come back. It’s more than just working out - it’s a community that lifts you up and celebrates every milestone with you.
Team WOD’s challenge you to develop a plan with your teammate and try to stick to it!
First day back after years away and Matt didn’t kill me !
Since joining Crossfit Una Stamus, I’ve lost some weight and gained strength right from day one. I’m amazed at some of the weights I’m able to lift now - movements that felt impossible before have become part of my regular routine. One of my original goals was to do a pull-up, and now I’m so close to achieving it. The workouts here are challenging but rewarding, with coaches who pay close attention to your form and progress, helping you push past plateaus safely. Every session leaves me feeling stronger and more confident, and the energy in the gym keeps me motivated to keep improving.
Coach Alexa’s super power is demonstrating and coaching movements for a safe and effective workout. Even something simple as a Box Over movement she taught me a more efficient way to gain some more reps today! It’s been fun as a newer member to CrossFit Una Stamus to unlock some new skills, gain more confidence and finish the workouts stronger. Thank you Alexa and the CFUS team!!
Dropped in for the second time today while visiting Elk River. Workout was great and everyone was very welcoming!
Excellent workout class! Really enjoy all the coaches. Makes it easy and enjoyable to show up to class each day.
Matt is one of those coaches who keeps me accountable without ever making me feel pressured, and somehow pushes me in all the right ways without being intense. He lets me be me, meets me where I’m at, and I always feel welcome and at home in his class. Every workout feels good. I leave feeling stronger, supported, and genuinely excited to come to class. Truly one of the best coaches out there.
Coach Petz has contagious enthusiasm that fills the room from the moment the workout starts. His positive encouragement comes through in every instruction and shout-out, making even the toughest exercises feel doable. What stands out most is how he makes every participant feel genuinely like part of the gym family - he remembers names, checks in on how you're doing during the sets, and celebrates each small victory. The high energy level during the workout kept me fully engaged and motivated; I found myself pushing harder than usual without feeling overwhelmed. Every minute felt purposeful and rewarding, which made me love the workout even more than I expected. It’s that combination of Coach Petz’s spirit and the lively atmosphere at Crossfit Una Stamus that makes it a place I look forward to coming back to.
My husband and I dropped in for a couple classes while visiting family in the area. Everyone was very nice and the workout was great! Thank you for having us!
I’ve been training at Una Stamus CrossFit for about four months now, and it’s been an amazing experience. The community here is very supportive — everyone encourages each other, no matter what level you’re at. Coach Matt does a great job motivating us and helping each person focus on their own progress. I can’t do everything or make it in every day, but I always try to give my best and keep improving. Each workout challenges me in a different way, and I can really feel the difference in my strength and confidence since I started. I’m grateful to be part of such a positive environment.
David is an excellent coach. He has such a great sense of humor and the ability to make even the most challenging or dreadful workout fun! I thoroughly enjoy the charisma he brings to the gym.
Zach’s great! Playful, knowledgeable. I love the team atmosphere! I get instructed on how to improve my form, but I have never once felt like I was getting talked down to. Even on days I don’t feel like working out, it helps to have the motivation to be part of the Unas Stamus group.
David did great. Clear instructions, and very encouraging.
It's been a great first month and a half with CrossFit Una Stamus! Every class brings something different and there's always a positive energy in the room. My favorite workouts are ones that work multiple muscle groups and/or incorporate a little bit of cardio!
Came back for a drop in after five months of being out of the gym due to work schedule. As usual, Matt was amazing as keeping the class on track, kept the humor flowing and didn’t let us talk him out of coaching no matter what came out of my mouth with each rep. This is one of the best gyms I’ve been apart of.
Very motivating! Makes you want to do your best!
Awesome, Matt was very welcoming, & helpful
I’ve really enjoyed the variety of workouts. Thank you for providing modifications and adding links so we can watch some of the lifts before class. I appreciate the encouraging and welcoming environment that has been present since day one. Keep rocking!
