CrossFit of the Ozarks

Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed CrossFit workouts posted daily on an affiliate's website and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and homes.

At CrossFit of the Ozarks we teach you the skills needed to be successful in this program and are always here to coach and guide you during your workouts. The workouts can last anywhere from 3 minutes to 45 but they typically last around 20 minutes. We don't dance around and chit chat. CrossFit works...period. Whether you are training for an event, competition, military service, want to lose weight or just want to look and feel good. We will teach you about your nutrition and surround you with other like minded people with the same goals in mind.

We train on these skills.
