The SISU Medina community is outstanding. What started as me casually just wanting to lose a few pounds has evolved into 5+ years of having focused nutrition, loving weight lifting, and cultivating incredible friendships. The coaches are smart and the programs are challenging but the community is what makes this place so special. Everyone is supportive and pushes each other to do hard things because that’s what keeps us coming back day after day, month after month, year after year. You won’t regret checking them out. It’s life-changing!!

My wife joined SISU almost 13 years ago (we’re 57 currently) and cannot imagine a better all-around location. The coaches and community are fantastic and the class variety is amazing….Hyrox focused classes, strength and conditioning classes, CrossFit classes. Pick and choose whatever you’re feeling up for. I strongly encourage you to give it a try

In addition to their passion and expertise, the ownership (and staff) are super welcoming and friendly. They welcome all levels of fitness and go above and beyond to make classes fun and creative. The facility has a fresh face lift and they’ve invested in new equipment making this the best overall location and experience you’ll find.

I've been a member of SISU on and off for the last 7 years - this gym is by far one of the best you will find in the Twin Cities area! The community is absolutely amazing, some of the best people you will encounter. The programming has evolved a lot over the last several years and really landed on something that makes it feel like gym-goers are able to really make progress in their fitness. The new-ish owners of the Medina location are making a ton of great improvements to the space. Overall, 5-star gym all around!

I’ve been a member at CrossFit SISU for a year now, and it’s become one of the most positive and consistent parts of my daily routine. This is the first time I’ve found something fitness-related that I truly enjoy and want to stick with long-term. The coaching at SISU is excellent—each coach actively coaches during class, offers smart scaling options, and helps work around any injuries or limitations. They’re supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you get better. The community is just as good. The other members are friendly, encouraging, and make working out something I actually look forward to. It’s a great group of people who support and challenge each other in all the right ways. If you’re looking for a well-run CrossFit gym with great coaches and a welcoming environment, I highly recommend CrossFit SISU.
