I've been training with Mike from CrossFit Koncepts since 2002 or so. He is an expert in the art of Kettlebells and many other forms of fitness. He is always coming up with really cool workout routines that keep everything fresh, while also helping me customize my routine as needed to keep it challenging. Mike is also really good with beginners and will have you feeling like a CrossFit Kettlebell pro in no time! I would recommend CrossFit Koncepts to everyone who wants to be fit!

Don't let the CrossFit name scare you! Mike Krivka has proven time and again that he can customize a safe and challenging training program to improve the quality of anyone's life. I've had the pleasure/privilege of training here since 2011, and at 61 am stronger physically and mentally than at any other time in my life. Although the average age of clients there is north of 45, all of us know because of the excellent training and instruction we have received here, we'll be able to do this for the rest of our lives.

The trainers at CrossFit Koncepts are top notch. The focus is on longevity and remaining injury free. Great community of highly skilled box-mates where everyone looks out for each other. Many long term members and some families train here. It is impossible to convey how knowledgeable Mike Krivka is about how to train for strength, mobility, and resilience.

I've been attending CrossFit Koncepts off and on for years to help reverse the effects of a job that requires lots of sitting. The gym has world class coaching and can help with increasing muscle mass, joint mobility, and heart health. The owner, Mike, has a great eye for body mechanics and can help you dial in your technique to avoid injury. The group of people who work out there are great to see each week too! I always leave at the end of class feeling happy.

Mike is a passionate about doing kettlebell workouts correctly (correct form, not hurting your back). It's a great community of people and they motivate you to a higher level of fitness. After spending years of running and lifting weights, learning how to kettlebells correctly has transformed my body and made my exercise routine more efficient. I'm much stronger and leaner!

We've been CFK members for over a decade. The specificity and training cannot be surpassed! If you are looking to enhance, build, rebuild, this is the only place I recommend.

This is definitely not your "typical" CrossFit gym...it's BETTER, by far! I've trained here most of the past 10 years, with some time off to work out in a traditional crossfit gym. The focus here is on kettlebells and body weight movements, mostly. Mike is one of the best kettlebell trainers in the world, with years of KB training experience plus many more years of martial arts training on top of that. Over time, Mike has gradually shifted the focus to everyone training smartly, training for longevity. If you are pushed so hard that you are too sore to work out for a few days, or if you end up injured, well that's not really a productive program. Mike is constantly learning, studying, working to improve the training protocols to help us all get/stay fit for the long term, without injury. He WILL tell you to use less weight, or a slightly "easier" protocol, if he sees that is what YOU need on that particular day. He'll also push you to improve something in every single workout - a better time, more poundage moved, more rounds completed - something! He is a stickler for solid technique and makes sure you are using good/correct form - again, it's all about longevity, and avoiding injury. I love it here, and highly recommend trying it out.

Crossfit Koncepts has been a part of my life for the past 12+ years. As a former college athlete who still competes, these unique workouts keep me motivated and have helped me learn about functional movement. The atmosphere is nothing like a typical crossfit gym. We are taught to scale workouts up or down based on our abilities, injuries, etc and never pushed with the harder, faster, heavier mentality. If you want to learn the correct way to use a kettlebells and can handle a little cursing, check this place out!

I wish there were more stars!!! Joined just over a year ago after Covid shut my former gym and I ended up way more out of shape than expected. Was welcomed with open arms. Mike is an expert at what he does and everything we do is tailored. Meeting you at your best and at worst to challenge you. No egos in here; just every level of athlete doing the work to kept moving and shaking! So grateful for this community they developed.

I started CrossFit Koncepts the last day of my cancer treatment. My aunt is a member and she recommended I try it out. The minute I walked in, I felt welcomed , like these were old friends! For the first few months, Mike helped me scale all my workouts to fit my ability , since I was just getting back into working out . I have been here 5 years and love it . I even got my niece to join! Mike has great knowledge and always willing to help or modify things if necessary. The group of people I work out with are always supportive of each other!

Great gym, great people, amazing leader!!!! Where are the other 5 stars to give this a 10??? When I moved to Maryland I visited several gyms to find one that fit my needs both for working out and for my personality. Some were ok but none fit What I was looking for which was to learn correct movement....until I found CrossFit and Mike Krivka. I had lived in Colorado, Iowa and Maryland at that point and no where did I find an instructor who took the time to work with me one on one to ensure I knew the correct way to use kettlebells and barbells the way Mike did. Even though I moved away after a year the friendships I had built and the trust I have in Mike and others he has taught to help run this facility have kept me tied to them from afar. I can call or text Mike and he will watch my technique on video if I feel I have lost touch with my form without judgment. He is always willing to post great videos to help me and many others who can’t be there in person. I have made friends and and an instructor for life!!!!

I’ve been working out at Crossfit Koncepts for over nine years, and can honestly say this place has changed my life. The focus is not on personal records or the fastest time, but training to improve your mobility, flexibility, and strength, achieved mostly through the use of kettlebells and bodyweight exercises. While the workouts are challenging, they can be scaled to any level, and there is nothing that will make you feel more badass than swinging around a heavy kettlebell!. No matter how good (or bad) my day is, I always walk out feeling better than I did when I walked in, thanks to the great community, created by one of the world’s finest kettlebell instructors, Mike Krivka. There is no one you will find locally who is more knowledgeable about fitness, or more dedicated to continuous improvement. Crossfit Koncepts is definitely worth serious consideration for your fitness needs.

It was a wonderful experience. I am going to start training there. I have been working with trainers for over 20 plus years. Mike IS exceptionally talented. A+

Fun, but hard working atmosphere. Coaches with a wealth of knowledge and skill. Everyone is very friendly. When you finish your workout, you know you've worked out :) Great place to be and workout.

Crossfit Koncepts offers outstanding training that focuses on proper technique and workouts that can challenge at any level. The owner, Mike Krivka, will challenge your fitness level, whether a beginner or longtime fitness buff. Workouts are carefully planned and thought out, providing a variety of movements and strength building techniques, and accommodating different levels of fitness. Modifications are always provided when needed, taking into consideration the particular needs of the athlete. Mike is the best trainer out there by far, knowledgeable about fitness, proper form, always emphasizing how to challenge yourself while avoiding injury, teaching how to train smart, providing an avenue to keep yourself fit for life. To top that off, he is personable and fun, and cares deeply about the health and welfare of his athletes. You cannot go wrong here - this gym is a win-win!

Great gym! I've been going for a couple months now and I get individual instruction when needed, it's like having a personal trainer every time I go... Mike is great and so is my friend Lori who is also like a personal trainer with so much encouragement. I'm learning that proper form is soooo very important. Friendly folks, highly recommend!

I've trained with Mike Krivka and John Kalil for nearly 10 years. Crossfit Koncepts, from the quality of instruction to the clientele and overall community atmosphere, is one of the best training environments you are likely to ever encounter. Whether you're in peak physical condition or just beginning your fitness journey, all are welcome here. Whereas many gyms leave you to your own devices when conducting workouts, Mike and John will actively work with you before, during and after the day's workout. This is also the reason why the injury rate is virtually nonexistent among clients; proper form and technique are constantly reinforced through direct instruction and demonstration. Overall, Crossfit Koncepts is a relatively small, tight knit, and welcoming community with top caliber instructors. I strongly encourage anyone who wishes to get stronger and move better to stop in; your present and future self will thank you for it.
