Who we are
U Ave is made up of a wide variety of people! Our membership is made up of long time residents, people relocated to the area, and students here studying at the university. Our members cover all fitness backgrounds – those who have done CrossFit for 15 years and those who have never worked out; those who were college athletes and those who have never heard of CrossFit; those who desire elite fitness and those who want to be able to move about their days healthily. We have members in their teen years all the way up to those in their 80s – all working out alongside each other. We pride ourselves on making U Ave a welcoming space for people from all backgrounds.
What we do
Everyone working out at U Ave is there to make themselves better. They show up with an attitude to learn, do their best, and be challenged. They compete against themselves and chase progress, because consistency builds to results. Our classes are structured to give you the most efficient workout, but also an enjoyable one.
