I moved to Kalamazoo around 5 years ago. I joined a gym, tried P90X, Insanity, but got board of them. I saw a video online about CrossFit, and though that it looked to hard and intimidating. I stopped working out for a while. I was at work talking to a friend and told him I wanted to join a new gym, because all I would do after I got home from work is order pizza and watch TV. I was feeling horrible, and I wanted to change. He said you should try CrossFit 269. I watched the videos about CrossFit in the past, and was scared to try it. I finally got the courage up to go in. When I first walked in, I was greeted and made to feel at home. Even though I was in the worst shape of the class, I got through the workout. Now, I have been going to CrossFit 269 for over a year, and I have not been in this good of shape for years. What makes CrossFit 269 such an amazing gym is the CrossFit 269 family. It starts with Jack, the owner and head coach. He genuinely cares about his students and is an amazing teacher. He has put together an amazing team of coaches who help you through your weaknesses and improve your strengths. When you first walk into to a CrossFit 269 you will notice, its not your normal gym. People come up to you a say hi and everyone is friendly. They make you feel at home, no matter what kind of shape you are in. They support you when your having a bad day and cheer for you when your having a good day. They have become my good friends. I though about joining a CrossFit a year earlier, watch a few videos and thought it was to hard and didn’t go in. When I finally came in, I wish I had done it sooner. I may not be able to do everything, but I have improved, and if I can do it, anyone can. My favorite CrossFit quote is ‘CrossFit, the only sport where you cheer the hardest for the person in last place”. No matter what kind of shape your in CrossFit 269 is worth it.

I have been a member of Crossfit269 for about a year now and I can honestly say that I wish I would have found this place sooner. After playing college football, I continued my strength training (lifting) on my own for years with no real goal or competitive outlet to work towards. Joining the Crossfit269 community has filled that void I was missing by providing me with a new sport, team, and coach along with a bit of the competitive outlet that I need to truly push myself. Jack Kelly (Coach & Owner) and his staff of coaches are very knowledgeable, and they are eager to help you through movements or skills that may be new to you. The other members really function as your teammates, with everyone pushing through the same workout and encouraging each other along the way. I am beyond happy that I decided to give Crossfit269 a try.

CrossFit 269 is THE place for fitness and community in SW Michigan! As a former collegiate track & field coach, Ive had the privilege of working with athletes from grassroots to Olympians, so coaching and training were important in my quest to get back in shape. Jack Kellys training program is fantastic - he has a keen sense of the overall fitness needs and well-being of the members of this "box" and the staff at large is an exemplary reflection of his leadership. Whether youre new to fitness, looking to re-kindle the flame, or building on a fitness lifestyle, you wont find a better place to be, nor will you find better people to be around. Youll come to get fit - but youll stay because of the community. CrossFit 269 truly is "Nulli Secundus"... Second to None!

Crossfit 269 has taught me so much about myself. It has taught me commitment to health. The opportunities to improve and encouragement from the Crossfit 269 community and coaches are limitless. The strength and improvement Ive seen in just 5 months is beyond anything I was expecting. Being here is always the best part of my day! The coaches are so knowledgeable, it truly is a school of fitness! You wont find a community of people committed to your improvement just as much as their own anywhere else.

Ive been going to Crossfit 269 for almost two months now. As someone who has been overweight all my life and has over 100 lbs to lose, I was nervous to start but excited about the challenges it would offer. The coaching and community here are top notch and supportive. Adapted options for movements are always offered and provided without judgment. I feel myself getting stronger every day, and I look forward to working out, which is something that I have ever felt in my life.

KSAC (Home of CF 269) has been the gym I call home since December of 2013. Owners Jack and Trinity Kelly run a state of the art facility and head coach Josh Marunde has more passion for helping people reach their goals than anyone I know. KSAC is not only where I go to workout but where I go to surround myself with like-minded people who will be there by my side no matter what. I advise any / everyone come try KSAC if they are searching for a first class experience.

I LOVE this place!!! I am a 60 plus,nonathletic, grandma who was not sure this something I could tackle- but desperately wanted to get into shape. Jack and Trinity and their trainers are supportive and so aware of my limitations vs the younger crew that works out there. The people that work out here are accepting and fun. I am so much the better person,physically and mentally for taking the time out to come here!

Crossfit 269 has completely changed the way I look at my personal fitness and health. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, the community is awesome, and the gym is huge! Since joining a year ago, I have gained strength, flexibly, skill, and confidence. My husband and I were both collegiate athletes, and yet we are in the best shape of our lives now - all thanks to Jack, Trinity and the Crossfit 269 coaches!

Ive dropped into well over 100 CrossFit boxes and paid visit to another 100+ gyms; Jack Kelly is one of the most intelligent, well educated, and passionate coaches/teachers Ive ever encountered. His ability to program, scale, teach, and exemplify "FITNESS" and "HEALTH" is spectacular. This isnt a box JUST for CrossFitters, its for anyone who wants to get better.

From the first conversation I had with Josh I felt like this was where I needed to be! The atmosphere is amazing! Everyone is encouraging and ready to help! I love coming in and being able to feel that Im improving everyday. I have let go of the "goals" that I wanted and I am letting Crossfit take me where I should be!
