“I’m a newbie to CrossFit, but I did not feel intimidated or unwelcome here. They have a great, friendly staff, and owners, Laura and Jeff, are incredible with communication via email. I’ve started the boot camp, and the instructors are awesome at giving alternatives if the original exercises are too difficult. I would definitely recommend Flower City CrossFit to new members!” – K.H.

Not Your Average Fitness Center

We were excited to learn all about Flower City CrossFit and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Jeff.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Flower City CrossFit stand apart from its competitors. Jeff told us that their phenomenal coaching and programming differentiates them from anything else in the area. He told us:

“We have a wonderful community of people in our gym. This community keeps energy levels up to an intoxicating level! We want better, more well-rounded people everywhere. Safety and form are very important. We want to make you better at what you do out there by virtue of what you do in here! ”

Jeff also told us a bit more about CrossFit and its naturally inclusive nature:

“A fundamental part of CrossFit is that what we do can be scaled or modified to fit any body at any fitness level! We pride ourselves on being open and accessible to [all].”

We asked Jeff about the Flower City CrossFit business mission, and he told us:

“The overall mission is to promote total fitness and wellness in our clients in everything that we do. We want to improve everyone’s lives. We want to make people better at whatever they do outside of the gym!”

Building Success, Online And Off

Flower City CrossFit has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Jeff how they have managed to grow their business and get their name out. He told us that they are active on social media and said that, the more businesses have a presence online, the more people will see them. When we asked him how they have gotten such incredible reviews, he said:

“It really happens organically for us. If you really strive for excellence and you do the right things by people, they will reciprocate by giving good reviews and referrals.”

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

“I think that the core of growth is two-fold. Number one is always striving for excellence in what you do; no matter how much you get referrals, you aren’t going to grow if you aren’t doing an excellent job or aren’t better than the competition! Second, people have to know about you. You need to find the avenues that will best get the word out for your business or products.”


Congratulations to Flower City CrossFit for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Jeff for taking the time to speak with us!
