I've been going for about 3 months now and the coaches could not have been better since I entered the gym. EVERY member is welcoming, the coaches are informed, communicate well and structure programs which support success. Viking Athletics is genuinely interested in your growth and development in and outside the gym. Great job team - I'm excited about working with you all in 2025 and deepening relationships with other members.

Viking Athletics is an exceptional gym, and I highly recommend it! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and always provide feedback during workouts, helping you maintain proper form and ensuring a safe training environment.

What truly sets this gym apart is its amazing sense of community. Everyone cheers each other on, creating a fun, supportive, and inspiring atmosphere. The workouts are thoughtfully planned and available in their app, making it easy to prepare for sessions or create personalized plans if you’re working on other areas outside the gym.

Every workout is tailored so anyone can participate, no matter their fitness level. There are scaling options for everyone, and the coaches will guide you to find what works best for you!

Each session lasts an hour, giving you the perfect balance between efficiency and effectiveness (great for busy people who want to make gains while staying on schedule).

Viking Athletics is an outstanding place to work out, build strength, and be part of a truly inspiring and dedicated community!

Viking Athletics is truly in a league of its own! I’ve had the opportunity to participate in both CrossFit classes and personal training/nutrition sessions, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The CrossFit classes are thoughtfully programmed, with scalable options to suit all fitness levels, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and challenged. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and provide clear, personalized feedback to help you improve your form and maximize results while staying safe.

What really sets this gym apart is the community. It’s more than just a place to work out—it’s a space where people genuinely support and cheer each other on. The energy is contagious, and it keeps you coming back for more. On the personal training and nutrition side, the tailored guidance has been a game-changer for me. The coaches go above and beyond with everything from custom workouts to nutrition tips, helping me stay on track both in and out of the gym.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, Viking Athletics offers something special. The combination of expert coaching, a welcoming community, and top-notch programming makes it the perfect place to build strength, improve fitness, and stay motivated. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym that truly stands out!

I’ve been coming to Viking Athletics for a month now after attending a large, well-known CrossFit box for two years.

I’ve had a great experience here so far, and I feel like my skills have improved more in the last month than in my previous two years in CrossFit.

Everyone is very nice and supportive, and there’s lots of good, well-maintained equipment to use.

Great gym! Personal training is top notch. Every workout is individualized to get clients to achieve their own fitness and lifestyle goals. Definitely not a one size fits all plan. After a nagging back injury Erik analyzed my pain, movement and routine and helped increase strength so that I now live an active, pain free lifestyle which I never thought was possible. I couldn’t ask for more!

Love this place! Erik is a wonderful owner, he will take time to check in with you regularly and he genuinely cares about his members. Absolutely loved the workouts. Even through my times at the gym was short, I will miss the place and the workouts. 100% recommend.

More than a gym. These guys are anchors in the community and they train for life.

I used to wander around different globo-gyms without a sense of direction. Here I train with focus, discipline and a sense of community accountability and support. Also a shout-out to everything the coaches do beyond the classes—recipe ideas, nutrition, training seminars, workout ideas for the road , you name it. Cheers to an upcoming 2025 👍👍👍

This was my second year dropping into this box and it’s great! Was able to drop in a couple times during my visit to the area this year and a few times last year and every session, I’ve felt welcomed and had great workouts. Community was kind, coaches were motivating and gave great instruction, and the workouts were fun/balanced. I’ll continue to drop in when I’m in town in the future.
