I've been at MMCF for over a year now, which is incredible when you consider that I've never been able to maintain a period of continuous exercise for more than a few months. If you're nervous about starting crossfit, this is a great gym to start off in. A majority of the coaches are women, classes are diverse across age, gender, and race, and they are queer friendly, all of which are very important to me!
Every month they have a 101 class that's meant to be an on-ramp course to ease you into "normal" crossfit workouts. They often run deals on these classes that bring the price to around $50 for two weeks of 6 classes, with a deal of ~$50 for unlimited classes in the first month after 101. Membership prices vary depending on how often you want to come in during a week: 2x, 3x, or unlimited.
The schedule offers a lot of flexibility--there are a few early morning workouts during the week, noon workouts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and 5 pm workouts (and later) every weekday (5:30 on Fridays). The noon and 5 pm workouts mean that it's very easy to pop into the gym if you work in downtown Lansing and live elsewhere, as I do. On Saturdays they have morning workouts (usually partner workouts which are beginner-friendly) and Sundays they have open gym from 2-4 pm. read more
