Located in the heart of the Crossroads District, CF18 is proud to be first in bringing elite fitness to Downtown Kansas City.
What's the difference between bootcamp and crossfit?
Our Bootcamp is high intensity interval training that leverages basic movements using bodyweight as well as weighted equipment that will make for "cardio" unlike any you've experienced. CrossFit is defined as "constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity" — drawing from gymnastics, cardiovascular endurance sports and Olympic weightlifting — which is highly measurable and this measurability is a main factor in increased motivation, greater accountability, and building a community that compares, shares and celebrates success. In every class, our athletes are taught proper technique, are expected to do the work, and get results. Your coach will know you by name and your progress is the reason he or she is here. Both formats are always changing, never boring, and always safe and tailored to the individual athlete.
do i need to be a serious athlete to do CROSSFIT?
Absolutely not! Every single movement in every workout is scalable to the individual's fitness level and skill set, so whether you're already a serious athlete or just getting started on your way to being one, CrossFit is for you.
How much does it cost?
Individual monthly membership (with auto-pay) costs $139 for unlimited workouts. There is no long-term commitment (we simply require a 30-day cancellation notice). Plus, you can try us out with no risk by getting your first 6 sessions for only $49, so what are you waiting for? Click here to to purchase this introductory offer online!
I am a crossfitter visiting kansas city — can i drop in?
We'd love to have you. You must pick a class to attend (our Open Gym times are for members only) and the drop-in fee is $25. Click here to pre-purchase a Single Class. Then give us a call or send us an email with some advance notice if you can.
What can i expect from a class?
It's you against the workout — you get to decide exactly how intense it will be, but we are here to inspire you to make sure every class pushes you to the top of your current fitness level. Every session is coached in a class format in our 4500-square-foot facility (think of it as semi-private instruction) and results in no more monotony, no more unwanted pounds, better core strength, a tighter backside, functional strength and agility that apply to sports as well as the things you do every day. If you give it your all for 6 months, you'll certainly be in the very best shape of your life. After your workout, there are showers for use by our athletes (bring your own towel and toiletries).

GETTING STARTEd with your training
FOR FIRST-TIMERS:
If you are completely new to fitness, or even if you're coming from a traditional gym routine, exercise classes, recreational sports or are just trying to get in shape after a long break, we STRONGLY encourage you to start with a CROSSFIT + 1 class on Monday at 5:30pm or Saturday at 10:00am where you will have the added benefit of an additional coach to help you safely assimilate into this type of training. By first attending one or two of these suggested workouts, you allow yourself (and us) a read on your current endurance and fitness levels relative to our way of training. In addition to that, it give us the perfect opportunity to teach you proper form and how to safely do all of the basic movements that make up the foundation on which CrossFit is built — getting a great and challenging first workout in the process.
FOR EXPERIENCED CROSSFITTERS:
If you're visiting us for the first time — or especially if you are returning to CrossFit after a break — you are also welcome and encouraged to join us for one of our Monday 5:30pm or Saturday 10:00am CROSSFIT + 1 sessions to benefit from additional coaching where needed. Please arrive a little early or stay after for a few minutes to talk to our coaches; we are happy to address any questions about getting oriented to our training options and schedule.
All CF18 coaches are CrossFit trained, CPR certified and experienced in group training.
JOHN BENZ | HEAD COACH | After more than two decades of service in Kansas City's fitness industry, I know you have to reinvent and evolve to succeed. That's precisely why this format is so challenging, so motivating and so worth the effort — you will literally reinvent your best body ever. I look forward to every single class I instruct and I take personal pride in YOUR results and I pledge maximum effort in keeping you focused and dedicated.
BRIAN ENGLISH | COACH | When I played football in high school and college and then went on to study exercise science and play rugby, all the while I was striving to stay in the best physical shape possible in order to perform better as an athlete. I joined CF18 the month it opened and immediately fell in love with this place. After achieving my Level 1 Certification, I now love having the opportunity to help you be stronger than yesterday.
JACOB UNMACHT | COACH | After my sports careers in football, baseball and golf ended in high school, I looked for a competitive outlet and found CrossFit almost immediately. It gave me the opportunity to attend a structured class on a regular schedule and push myself to new limits on a daily basis. I look forward to making the hour spent at the gym the best hour of your day.
DANA DAVENPORT | COACH | Because I was a "bring it on" type kid, my mother put me in every athletic activity she could. I was surrounded by good coaches and mentors who taught me my life's fundamentals at a very early age. Those lessons of teamwork, of everyone working toward a common goal and having empathy for the person next to you, they all influence the way I train my classes and how I live my life. It's my job to help you feel motivated, successful and strong.
MICHAEL GINESTRA | COACH | When I finished playing college football I thought I was finished being an athlete. But when I found CF18 in 2012, CrossFit proved me wrong. With it came an entirely new perspective on fitness that has completely overhauled the way I set goals, train, eat and live. I want to bring this same life-changing experience to all of our members—encouraging everyone, no matter what their background, to train to become the best athlete they can be.
SALOMÉ WILFRED | COACH | As a former college athlete and clinical psychologist in training, I have always had a passion for activities that challenge me both physically and mentally. CrossFit has been the perfect challenge since day one in that regard and continues to be even years later. I love that I can now bring that passion to members as a trainer and help them push and challenge themselves to achieve their own goals.
