Not Your Average CrossFit Gym

We were excited to learn all about CrossFit Kilo II and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the Manager, Austin Nedelcoff.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes CrossFit Kilo II stand apart from its competitors. Austin told us all about their supportive community and how their athletes come together to push each other to reach their goals. Even though they are known for doing well in competitions, they work with overall health as their main focus. He told us:

“We try to focus more on the health side of things… We want that to be the focus. We have a handful of people that really get after it. [Our athletes] come together and push each other toward their goals. We’re all here for each other! If you’re not having a good day, there will be people around you pushing you to be your best. It’s a lot easier to stay disciplined when you’re around your second family!”

He went on to tell us more about their specific business mission:

“[Our mission is to promote] health and fitness through CrossFit! We focus on nutrition first, then follow up through exercise. We make people stronger and better conditioned for everyday life.”

Building Success Day By Day

CrossFit Kilo II has gained an amazing reputation, so we wanted to know more about how they have gotten their name out and grown their business. Austin said that with CrossFit, it’s all about showing up on Google searches and word of mouth, but that they have also found success thanks to their parent gym in Cedar Falls. Austin said:

“A large part of our success was piggybacking off of our Cedar Falls location. Our partner, Armand McCormick, has built a strong reputation there. A lot of people in the Corridor Area knew the Kilo name. Once we opened up a gym in Iowa City, it exploded!”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as CrossFit Kilo II has managed to. We asked if Austin could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Stay disciplined with your goals! Take the business day to day. There will be ups and downs. You have to know how to deal with bad situations and turn them into good ones.”

There’s never been a better time to start your own health and fitness journey. If you are interested in joining this incredible community, try Beginners Camp, a class that is offered every Saturday at 10:30 am!
