CrossFit Gardendale

The Sport of Fitness

Support every step of the way: That’s what you’ll find at CrossFit Gardendale. You’ll grow stronger and healthier and gain confidence as you become part of a community that cheers you on and celebrates your success. You won’t find contracts or judgment or silly exercise fads. You will find great training, great people and a CrossFit experience that really works.

At CrossFit Gardendale we believe in building community as we are building our fitness. We support Gardendale and the surrounding area with events like the Mud Duck Run, which benefits Cornerstone Ranch, and the Gridiron Games, which benefits the Miracle League of Gardendale and the Raymond G. Doss Playground of Miracles. We also co-founded the Tuesday Night Run Club hosted at Buffalo Wild Wings in Gardendale and proudly support the North Jefferson Food Pantry and the Just Keep Smiling Foundation.

CrossFit teaches us that we’re stronger when we work together. That’s true in the box, and it’s true in our lives and communities as well.
