Want to stay independent and enjoy a quality of life longer? I joined the women-only strength and mobility class at CrossFit Armati for exactly that. It builds the strength you use every day. Coach Derek breaks movements into clear steps and scales everything to your body and past injuries. I've gained lean muscle, better balance and mobility, and my chronic tendonitis has actually eased. The regular CrossFit classes are challenging and always adaptable to what you need that day too. Clean facility, welcoming vibe.

As a woman over 60 living with an autoimmune condition and several medical implants, finding the right fitness environment felt daunting. I needed to add weight training to my routine but had no idea how to do it safely given my physical limitations. Joining CrossFit Armati and working with Coach Derek has completely changed my life.The process started with a thorough, personalized interview where Derek took the time to truly understand my history and ensure the gym was a good fit for my needs. Because of his background as a chiropractor, he has an incredibly deep understanding of how the body works and brings a highly knowledgeable approach to weight training.I’ve been training with Coach Derek for over a year now. He has brought me along slowly, ensuring every session includes great communication and feedback, and I am thrilled to say I've remained completely injury-free. The results speak for themselves: I’ve seen major gains in my strength, stamina, and even my cognitive sharpness.If you are looking for a gym that offers a deeply personalized, safe, and expert-level approach to fitness—no matter your starting point or limitations—I cannot recommend Coach Derek and CrossFit Armati enough!

I joined CrossFit Armati after my wife had been attending for two months and came home every day saying, “You can’t believe what I did today.” Even as a senior citizen, I had what I thought was a pretty solid home exercise routine. However, I immediately became impressed by several things: the expertise of the doctor-led training, the variety of movements, and the tangible results I saw in my day-to-day life.I now have better balance, better strength, better mobility, and a better sense of well-being from improving my body—which is the only thing carrying me around these days! Sometimes the workouts are hard, but it’s not as hard as seeing some of my friends slow down or limit their life activities because their bodies are weakening.Initially, I thought I would just do this over the winter months and quit when summer came so I could go back to biking, golfing, and working in my yard. Instead, this has become a non-negotiable part of my year-round health routine, just like getting good sleep and nutrition.If you’re a senior citizen, you’re not happy with how your body is feeling, and you are willing to do some work to get results, give CrossFit Armati a try. You won’t regret it.

Coach Derek at Crossfit Armati was instrumental in helping me build overall strength. A year ago, a bone density test revealed that I had osteoporosis in my lumbar spine. A regimen that included one on one sessions to add muscle in combination with improved diet and a natural mineral supplement has already improved my bone density results by 40% in one year. Derek's overall approach to physical wellness has benefited me tremendously.

This has been one of our best drop in experiences! Derek responded immediately to our request and we became part of their community for a week. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and just amazing people. The coaching is on point. With Derek’s help I got to handstand walk for the first time!!! The box is squeaky clean and they have everything you may need. If you are in the area, make sure you visit, it will be the highlight of your trip.

We will definitely be back! It was nice and cozy on the coldest day of the year and the space is well kept and very clean. Also very friendly and welcoming community :)

Did a drop in here, and the coach was great!! He was attentive to everyone in class. He was also very knowledgeable and good at explaining everything clearly. He was very encouraging while still giving advice and tips regularly. The members were also kind and welcoming!

2025-08-27T13:18:05.922Z

Brady is always the best. He makes my mornings better 😘

Life changing place, you will earn the body and mind of your dreams. Do not expect trinkets and trophies for showing up a few times a month. A fist bump from the person who sacrificed along side you that day is the reward. Coaching is next level at this gym. You will be encouraged along the way to get out of your comfort zone but not forced into the fire before you are ready. Everyone is willing to help you attain whatever goals you have. Community of people is top notch.

I enjoyed the attention to detail in the one on one sessions. I haven’t done a lot of the movements since college. Derek took the time to teach me and critique my form which was beneficial. I look forward to more of the classes.

2025-08-12T17:27:11.311Z

Brady does a great job keeping high energy during the class. He is also very technically sound and great at breaking down complex lifts/exercises for members of all levels. Always a great workout!

2025-07-28T19:01:12.587Z

I felt welcome immediately and everything was laid out really well and easy to find. The workout was on the board so I felt prepared, and Brady was a super encouraging coach! I felt right at home, which is exactly what I was hoping for. This was my first time dropping in, and it was an excellent experience.

This place is AMAZING, I suffer from arthritis, horrible knees and hips, but they will find a way for you to workout comfortably.. and the coaches are great at what they do and teach..

2025-06-02T15:30:47.077Z

Good coaching. Good atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and cares about helping you get better, regardless of your limitations. I recommend Armati to all of my friends.

2025-05-05T15:04:30.783Z

I love attending Brady’s classes. He is genuinely enthusiastic about seeing athletes make progress. His coaching style is easy-to-follow, energetic, and demonstrative. Brady really excels at building confidence in athletes across a wide range of experience levels and abilities. He meets each person where they’re at, providing them with the right tools, techniques, and encouragement to succeed.

2025-05-04T12:12:03.172Z

Love it here. Exercising with a bunch of people who feel like family. The trainers care and everyone gets excited when someone else makes progress.

I’ve been a member at Armati Collective for over seven years, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. The coaches and staff are some of the most engaged, encouraging, and genuinely caring people around—they consistently show up for their athletes. The community is one of the best parts—united by a shared drive to grow stronger, both physically and mentally. Armati is the real deal.

I'm so grateful for Coach Brady's instructionsI feel I've been able to make some really big improvements with the instructions I've been receiving from him. He clearly knows what he's talking about and truly cares for his athletes not just in the gym but outside too and that's another reason that makes him the great coach that he is. So grateful to have him and he's just getting started.

2025-02-23T01:27:47.134Z

What more can you say than Coach Brady is AMAZING. Ok there is A LOT more you can say to that but that sums it up more concisely. Coach Brady continues to improve himself and his abilities with the purpose to help other do the same for themselves. Truly has made a difference in so many people live already. Looking forward to working with him for many years to come.

Clean, well maintained gym with good coaching and a large cross section of fitness levels.

This gym welcomes you from the get go! A special shoutout to personal trainer Brady Nieman who takes the time to understand specific needs & continually creates sessions for success. He truly makes your workout personal. After 2 1/2 years of Achilles rehab, a short time working with Brady has me running drills and strength training so I can get that 5K! As he states, “take a chance on yourself & just start.”

2024-09-06T13:12:55.771Z

I have had private workouts for over a year. Great trainer Brady and a well-fiited out facility. Great attitudes and positive atmosphere. And I feel great.

2024-09-06T13:12:50.135Z

I’ve never been one to ever work out. But since being apart of armati I love it ! Coaches are great and so are the people in class. Love it here !

2024-06-07T14:48:12.634Z

Dropped in while on vacation in Sturgeon Bay. I have been crossfitting since 2016 and have only come across a few special gems (gyms) like this one. The coaching is phenomenal and the culture is full of camaraderie. I wish I lived here and could come here everyday! Great workout, great way to start the day. From beginner to elite you will have a place here and everyone and I mean Everyone will be cheering together for each other and for you. And coaches will take the time to work with form in a positive way and always give encouragement. Thank you again, for making us feel so at home. And thanks again coach Brady! Love, Jason and Alex
