Something Brought
You Here

Maybe you've tried the big-box gym. Maybe you've tried doing it on your own. Maybe you started something and it just didn't stick. Whatever the case — something brought you here.

And the reason is simple. You're not feeling like yourself. The confidence isn't where it used to be. The energy isn't there. You know you're capable of more — and you're tired of not living up to it.

That's not a failure. That's a starting point.
And you just found the place that's built to meet you there.

CRC

Motivation Won't Get You There.
The Right Environment Will.

Personal training coach working with member at Crooked River CrossFit gym in Mayfield Village Ohio

Here's what nobody tells you. The formula for getting in shape isn't complicated — move more, eat better, be consistent. You already know this.

The hard part was never the plan. It's sticking to it when the motivation disappears. And it always disappears.

That's why discipline matters more than motivation. Discipline is doing it on the days you don't feel like it — because you made a decision that your goal matters more than your comfort.

But here's the thing: discipline gets a lot easier when you're not doing it alone.

When you're surrounded by people who are chasing the same thing — when your coaches know your name, your goals, and whether you showed up — you stop relying on how you feel and start relying on who you're becoming.

That's what Crooked River CrossFit is built to be. Not just a gym. The environment that makes your discipline stick.

CRC is the only spot in town I trust to help me achieve my fitness goals. I left for a few years and came back, and it's better than ever!

This Is Where People
Stop Starting Over

01

Accountability That Changes Your Standards

It's easy to skip a workout when nobody notices. It's a lot harder when your coaches are checking in and your community is expecting you. We don't let you quietly fall off — because you didn't come here to stay the same.

02

Coaching That Builds You The Right Way

Every class is led by experienced coaches who care about your safety, your form, and your long-term progress. Over 13 years of doing this — we know how to meet you where you're at and get you where you want to be. No guesswork. No wasted effort.

03

A Community That Raises Your Bar

You become like the people you surround yourself with. Here, that means people who show up, push each other, and refuse to settle. Everyone knows your name. Everyone wants to see you win. That kind of environment changes what you think you're capable of.

04

Results That Go Beyond The Scale

Yes, you'll lean out. Yes, you'll get stronger. But the members who stay for years will tell you the same thing — the confidence, the energy, the discipline they built here carried over into everything else. That's the real result.

Your Path From Day One

01

Fill Out The Form & Talk To A Coach

One of our coaches will reach out to learn about your goals, answer your questions, and make sure Crooked River is the right fit for you. This is a quick, no-pressure conversation — you don't have to commit to anything.

02

Come In For Your Intro Session

If it's a good fit, we'll schedule your first visit. You'll tour the gym, go through an InBody assessment to see exactly where you're starting, and map out a plan built around you.

03

Start Your Jump Start Program

This is where the magic happens. Your Jump Start is a fully customized program — built around your fitness level, your goals, and your schedule. You'll learn proper form, understand the methodology, build confidence, and start seeing results fast. Whether that includes 1-on-1 coaching, nutrition guidance, group training, or a combination — it's designed for you.

04

Join The Community

Once you've built your foundation, you'll transition into our group classes with confidence. You'll know the movements, understand how to scale, and already feel like part of the family. From here, it's about showing up, having fun, and watching yourself get better every week.

What Members Are Saying

"
Getting back into working out can be hard. After some research I am very happy to have found Crooked River. The coaches are knowledgeable and they make me feel safe while working out. I'm happy to call this place my gym now!
— Bridget McCracken, Member

New To CrossFit? Good.
Most Of Our Members Were Too.

"Do I Need To Be In Shape To Start?"
Not even close. Most of our members walked in feeling exactly like you do right now. Every workout is scaled to your level — it's going to be challenging no matter where you start, and that's the point. We meet you where you're at.
"What If I've Never Done CrossFit Before?"
That's exactly what the Jump Start program is for. You won't get thrown into a class on day one. We'll teach you everything — the movements, the form, how to pick the right weights, how to modify exercises. You'll feel prepared and confident before you ever step into a group workout.
"Is It Going To Be Intimidating?"
Honestly? Almost every single person who walks through our doors — even the ones in great shape — says they were nervous. And almost every single one says the community made them feel welcome from the first day. This is a place where people cheer for each other, not judge each other.
"What If I'm Too Busy?"
Everyone's busy. That's not the obstacle — it's the excuse that keeps people stuck. Our workouts are one hour. We have class times throughout the day. The people who get results here aren't the ones with the most free time — they're the ones who decided this matters enough to show up. One hour. Best part of your day.

Built By A Coach
Who Gets It

Coach Marty Pajek owner of Crooked River CrossFit gym in Mayfield Village Ohio

Crooked River CrossFit started because of a workout that humbled Coach Marty. After four years of personal training in big-box gyms, one CrossFit workout exposed the truth — there was a better way to train, and it wasn't even close.

That experience sparked an obsession. Digging into the methodology. Getting certified. Training clients the CrossFit way and watching them get results faster than anything before.

In 2012, that obsession became Crooked River CrossFit — built on the belief that the right coaching, the right program, and the right community is the fastest way to change your life.

Over a decade later, that same obsession drives everything we do — with a team of coaches who share the same values, the same standard, and the same commitment to your success. Every one of them is here because they care about your goals, your progress, and making sure you get the best hour of your day, every single day. This is the team behind your transformation.

You Already Know You Want More.
This Is Where You Go Get It.

Stop waiting for the perfect time or the perfect motivation. It's not coming. What works is making a decision, walking through the door, and letting the right environment do the rest.
