Longevity.

Our belief at Norak CrossFit is not purely to achieve aesthetic results, but instead to develop fitness for life, keeping people healthy and active into their later years. We want to push back the nursing home. We are focused on developing a community of people who will not only exercise, but will move well, performing the common, uncommonly well. We want our members to be active and mobile long past their peers. We want the 75 year old to be able to carry their groceries from the car to the kitchen while searching for their keys. We want grandparents who can run with their grandkids. We want the high school athlete to dedicate themselves to the betterment of their craft and put in that extra work needed to chase a university scholarship. We want to help new parents get out of their rut, and become active again. In short, we want the most out of life.

Community.

Our name “Norak” is a combination of the words North, and Meraki. North was added because we may live in the southern part of our country, we still all survive a northern climate, which is a shared experience that helps bond us as a community. Meraki is a greek word meaning “ the essence of yourself that is put into your work”. We believe that our gym is a place for putting work into yourself. Our goal is to foster a community of like minded people who want to invest time and energy into building a better self.

Community is one of the truly unique features of the CrossFit exercise regime. To go through seemingly insurmountable workouts together with a group, builds a kind of bond that is uncommon in today’s society of phones and media.

Growth.

We want to foster an attitude of always striving to move the needle closer to the goals you have set for yourself, whatever they may be. At our gym, we are always coaching you to achieve better technique, a better time, more weight, or the best you can do that day during our workouts. Not everyday is going to be a personal best. But giving your best that day is still progressing.

We believe that by investing yourself into your workouts, and achieving new heights of both physical and mental toughness, you will be able to transfer that new found strength to your life outside the gym and affect positive change in all aspects.

At Norak CrossFit, we strive to be a lead from the front kind of gym. What this means to us, is that we work at developing and empowering our front line staff. We feel this helps deliver a better end product, as the coaches have an ownership in the classes they are teaching. This, combined with the fact that our coaches do CrossFit, makes your gym experience feel personal, and will help build a level of trust with your coach, which does not exist outside of this fitness community.

When you find yourself halfway into a workout, and are thinking to yourself, there is no possible way I will be able to finish this, your coach will be there to help you push through your perceived limits, because they have also done that same workout and have had that exact feeling.
