Honestly love the community within the maple grove center! It’s fun and the coaches scale to what you are comfortable with! I have never felt more motivated to come and workout with these people!
I have been a member for almost 4 years now and I would not have it any other way. The coaching is outstanding. In each workout the coach will take time as needed to explain any new movements while keeping the class at a good pace. From the newbies to the experienced, the programming is a good challenge but VERY adaptable to meet you where you are. I came from a big box gym and had no idea what I... More

Challenging workouts, great coaches, awesome community! A great place for those wanting to do CrossFit without feeling intimidated. Fierceplay makes workouts accessible to everyone with lots of scaling options and a welcoming atmosphere.
Fierce Play is awesome! At first, I was skeptical about CrossFit and wondered if I had what it take to do the workouts. From the moment I arrived at the gym, my fears were allayed as coaches worked with me where I was at.

Fun atmosphere. Coaches are knowledgeable, good at giving technique adjustments, and give plenty of scaling options for the workouts.
I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2012. Fierce Play coaches and the community are fantastic. The coaches make a genuine effort to get to know the athletes and the members are so welcoming. I never feel out of place, no matter what time of day I go.
Fantastic coaches that prioritize spending time with you in every class. Energetic community that makes staying healthy fun!
Very friendly and supportive atmosphere with excellent coaches. The workouts are very fun and competitive as well.
I recently joined Fierce Play and couldn’t be more happy with my experience! Enrollment for his classes and nutrition coaching was a breeze because Jeff took the time and effort to put together step by step instructions (google docs and videos) for literally everything!

I am 4 weeks into joining Fierce Play and I am loving the workouts! I am a novice to CrossFit, but have found the instruction and variety in the workouts to be great! Supportive atmosphere without the intimidating big gym feel! Definitely would recommend joining Fierce Play!
I came to Fierce Play out of a desire to increase my overall fitness and functional strength. All the staff at Fierce Play have been incredible to work with, listening and providing constructive feedback. This gym is home to an amazing fitness community who supports you wherever you are on your journey and celebrates each of your personal wins, no matter how big or small.
Great gym! Love going to a gym where their is community. I recommend them to everyone!
Jeff and the team are amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone interested.
Fantastic gym with great members and great coaches!
Amazing culture that accommodates all fitness levels. Every class starts with a focus on the warm up and proper technique before the workout begins. The coaches do a great job of helping members understand movement patterns by correcting technique and form to avoid injury while advancing their skill set.

Knowledgeable trainers that foster a welcoming community of likeminded athletes. 💪
A gym with great coaches and an awesome community. The coaches are very active during the classes and quick to give advice on technique or encouragement to push yourself. I personally like that they’re not afraid to say you should drop the weight down when form is lacking but also to tell you when you should push the weight up when it’s looking easy.

Over all Fierce Play is a great CrossFit gym and I enjoy every class! Less

The Fierce Play community is empowering to everyone (regardless of skill and ability), the coaches are fantastic and I’d be remiss if I didn’t state that this is the LEAST intimidating atmosphere around. The in the moment instruction and feedback shows the level of detail the coaches put into making sure you’re getting an effective (and butt kicking) workout while maintaining good form to avoid injury. Each workout can be scaled to fit your ability and provide opportunity for growth and development! I can’t express how much I love this CrossFit community at Fierce Play! Less
Jeff runs an incredible program. The gym is well cared for. The coaching staff is motivating and knowledgeable. The programming is challenging and is fun! It is designed for all skill levels. I am so glad to be a part of the community!!
This place is awesome, Jeff is 100%!
I’m so glad I found Fierce Play. Jeff is the best CrossFit coach I’ve ever had. He’s good at breaking down each movement (snatches, cleans, squats), or correcting your movement to protect your shoulders, knees etc. At his gym I’ve learned how to do a proper pushup, using my chest and triceps efficiently. I’ve also learned to do a proper kip swing and a rope climb all from his instruction (and the... More
I’m so glad I found Fierce Play. Jeff is the best CrossFit coach I’ve ever had. He’s good at breaking down each movement (snatches, cleans, squats), or correcting your movement to protect your shoulders, knees etc. At his gym I’ve learned how to do a proper pushup, using my chest and triceps efficiently. I’ve also learned to do a proper kip swing and a rope climb all from his instruction (and the other coaches too). I’ve gotten so much stronger and my range of motion has improved too (I couldn’t squat very low when I first joined). The workouts are just the right level of intensity (not too intense, not too boring). My technique for cleans, snatches and quats is so much better too. At his gym, I’ve been able to overcome my low back pain by learning to engage my core, glutes and legs properly whenever I deadlift or power clean. Every gym needs someone like Jeff who can break down each movement and tell you how to use your body (including telling you how to breathe) so you can move well/safely. He also coaches you on how to pace yourself for each workout whether its an EMOM, AMRAP or a for-time workout. Top tier gym for sure! And the people are nice. I’ve found a range of skill levels from beginners to experienced athletes who want a good workout, and even a few of the more competitive folks too. Less
Nice place to workout. Great coaches to help around!!!
This is a great place to lift something up, put it down, and then hop on a bike. 5/5 would chip again.
I’m a newcomer to the gym this fall and have been having so much fun. Each workout is new, a little scary, and honestly a fun challenge. I don’t consider myself to be an athlete and I was so relieved that the coaches help scale the workout to meet me where I’m at. Already, I can tell I’m improving in my strength, agility, and confidence! The members of the gym are also so supportive. Love it!
Fierce play is such an awesome place! The coaches are knowledgable and very attentive. They teach you how to do any workout and help you improve them. They always encourage you which is so motivating. I was nervous to join at first but now I am so glad I did! The community is very welcoming and I enjoy going to class.

Amazing coachs, welcoming community, lifelong friendships and workouts accessible to novice to RX level athletes. I'm 4 months in and I'm hooked for life!! If you have ever thought about trying crossfit, don't hesitate, its amazing!!
(Översatt av Google) Bra träningspass. (Original) Great workouts.

I had no idea what to expect from CrossFit when I signed up for my first class at Fierce Play. I was nervous I would be in a class of serious and high intensity athletes with a coach that did not take the time to teach newcomers the basic movements. Not the case at all! Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, saying hello to me as soon as I walked in. The coaches and other members took the time in class to make sure I was understanding each movement before jumping into the workout. While the workout was intense, people kept it fun and lighthearted the entire time. I've been able to increase the intensity of my workouts but have much more fun doing them since I joined Fierce Play! Just a great group of people with dedicated and experienced coaches. Less
My wife and I joined Fierce Play together just over a month ago and are having a blast! We feel great and love the workouts but we also appreciate the other CrossFitters, the awesome coaches, the great gym, and the scaleable & welcoming workouts that fit any fitness level.
Fierce Play provides a complete and tailored fitness solution to help meet your goals. Personal trainers and friendly and professional!

I highly recommend Fierce Play! It is an amazing gym that provides top-notch coaching to its athletes at all level of fitness! Jeff Birthler (Owner) and his coaching staff’s daily workout programming push you every day, while simultaneously providing tailored modifications to fit your current workout pace and your own strength level. The entire coaching staff provides valuable, real-time feedback and help adjust your form to ensure you are working out properly without injury. Jeff and the team have created a great community of athletes – both in-person and virtually. The facility is clean, well maintained, spacious, and up to date. Several class times are available each day to fit even the most difficult schedule. I've been attending classes for nearly a year now, mostly at-home given the COVID pandemic, and Jeff has done an amazing job in adapting to the environment to provide quality at-home and virtual Zoom workout classes to all members. I am honestly in the best shape in my life and have picked up so many fitness tips, nutrition insights, and friends along the way. The staff is supportive, attentive, and very responsive to any and all questions. I have nothing but positive things to say about Fierce Play. If you are considering joining a gym, please consider giving Fierce Play a try; I guarantee you will be hooked! Less

The members are laid back and fun but they come ready to WORK. The coaching is clear and helpful. This is a great gym for beginners and experienced CrossFitters.

Best place around for CrossFit! This place is awesome!
Very Great. Love the workout I'm put through. I've lost 25 pounds and 5 notches in the belt since. I joined 3 and a half months ago. Great supportive community, would recommend it to everyone.
