Easily the best gym in the Mankato area! Not only is the staff knowledgeable and friendly; It’s appropriate for athletes of all types and ages! Kato athletic has separate areas to help you reach all of your goals. CrossFit, cardio, free weights, Olympic lifting, turf area, garage doors to enjoy Minnesota summers while getting a workout in. One of the best gym environments I’ve ever been apart of, you feel like you’re walking into your home away from home instead of the gym! Price is extremely reasonable compared to other gyms in the area! Staff is willing to help every step of the way to help you reach your goals; and not only will they help they’ll be there encouraging you and cheering you on every step of the way! Not to mention the Rexus nutrition store right on site with staff that is knowledgeable about the products and can give you honest feedback and suggestions face to face! With customer service being mostly online these days it’s so nice to have a place like this in our home town to be able to connect with people and the best staff in person! There is no shortage of smiles, laughter and support at this gym! Less
One of the best gyms I have been too. The staff is so helpful and the community is just the greatest. I have not been there long but everyone is willing to help you with whatever you need, and for the price its a steel! Highly recommend
A welcoming, tight-knit community within an excellent gym space. There is room for all fitness levels here. The staff is kind and I have positive interactions with them every visit. The gym itself continues to add new equipment and takes into consideration recommendations from all. If you are looking for an inclusive space where you will feel pushed but supported, this is the place to be.
Easily the best gym in Mankato. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Gym equipment is nothing but the best. Not to mention if you’re ever in need of a quick snack after the gym, the supplement store they have has everything you need. From protein pastries to excellent pre-workout supplements, this gym truly has it all!
By bar the best gym in mankato! Very friendly staff, amazing selection of supplements, and excellent workout equipment. Speaking to the gym owner you can really tell her intentions to build a environment where lifters of all kind can support each other and grow! On top of the fact its 24/7 access with a membership really makes it easy to squeeze in a workout on busy days.
This gym has it all! Lots of space for lifting weights, cardio or crossfit classes! 24/7 access is a huge benefit!! I can always get a workout in no matter my schedule. The staff is also top notch and always ready to help!!
Great people at an amazing gym for powerlifting, olympic lifting, and bodybuilding. Has everything you need + more. Supplements, great staff, and great community.
Best gym in mankato. Bethany and Chandler are two badass women. College athlete approved 👍🏻
This is a great gym. I always value my time there. The owner and her staff are wonderful and always willing to help with any questions and good technique. I am one of the oldest members and I have learned a lot. The other members are so nice and helpful. If you’re looking for a place to workout, it is worth your time to check it out!
Kato CrossFit is a great way to meet people. I joined right away when I first moved to town. The coaches support you in accomplishing your goals and individually tailor workouts to scale them to your needs or ability.

More than a gym- It’s a place where anyone, any age and fitness level, is welcome and will feel comfortable being. Staff/coaches are knowledgeable in everything fitness, nutrition and overall well-being. If you’re looking for a fun and supportive community who will cheer you on no matter what your goals are, please just try it for a couple days. I was hooked after day one!
Moved to Mankato late fall 2021. Knew I wanted to try CrossFit for a long time, and knew I might find some people to make friends with. Best decision moving South. Great atmosphere, people, and environment. Forever grateful.
Great coaches, owner, and a great place to workout.
Started here just over two years ago and have made some lifetime friendships here. The community and atmosphere is amazing! Always feel welcomed here. There is no better gym if your looking for a good community to work out with!
If you are looking for a place that feels like home, look no further. As a self proclaimed “couch potato,” I was very intimidated to join the world of CrossFit, but after my first class, I knew I was never leaving. The expert coaches and members of Kato Athletic are unlike any other gym I’ve been to. Everyone is so encouraging and does an amazing job of holding you accountable at reaching your go... More

Kato Athletic has been a life changing experience for me. Not only is it an empowering place to be, it’s filled with caring and compassionate staff and team mates to always boost you up. It’s a facility prepared with tons of opportunity to assist you in achieving all of your goals no matter what they are with support along the way. 10/10 recommend.
Great welcoming atmosphere, the owner and staff are always helpful and motivating, whether my questions are related to CrossFit, nutrition, or supplements. If they don't know the answer they are more than willing to go out of their way to find it. I enjoy having the ability to do CrossFit class as well as having 24 hour access to equipment.
Kato Athletic is a wonderful facility. The environment is positive, clean, and well arranged to be accessible to all. A cool feature that Kato Athletic has added is the CrossFit area to be open 24/7. Bethany, the owner, has made sure to make everyone feel welcome that attends her gym. Out of all gyms that are open within the Mankato area, I’d highly recommend Kato Athletic!
Kato Athletic is an amazing place to workout!! You are not just a number, they make you feel like family!! The owner and staff are dedicated to helping you on your fitness journey, whatever that might look like!! Kato Athletic is a second home to me and Bethany has continually pushed me to my goals!! ❤️💪
Awesome gym. Lots of space to do what you need to do. Super friendly staff. Best gym in Mankato.
It’s a great gym and definitely the best in town for powerlifting. They gotta clean that corner by the dumbbell rack though it always smells terrible for some reason. Other than that it’s an amazing gym
The greatest gym in Mankato. Great atmosphere, awesome local owner that gives a darn about her members, and off the beaten path. When you are here, you get sh** done and work hard. The owner is a fitness guru and truly appreciates all the members. Whether you want that quiet spot to get the work down or that floor pounding, hard working gym, Kato Athletic has it all.
