★★★★★ 5/5

“I’m so happy I found this place! The owners are such amazing people and a wealth of knowledge. They meet you wherever you’re at – whether you want to become a better athlete, or you’re just there to be active and healthy. They worked with me as I got ready for a hip replacement, and were there for me as I recovered. They helped me modify workouts as needed, and I came out stronger on the other side. When I tell you they can help ANYONE reach their goals – I mean it!

This place is a hidden gem and the community of people are supportive, encouraging, and welcoming! ❤️”

“I was the ultimate CrossFit skeptical 🤨 and I didn’t want to even pick up a barbell when I first started coming to Fortress in November 2020. But after the first class..I knew immediately I had the wrong impression! Fortress is the BEST gym that I’ve ever been apart of! Any level of fitness can come to a class and I guarantee you will get an awesome workout! I love that the classes are all coach led and they can make accommodations for anyone. They truly care about your body and keeping you safe, but also pushing you to help reach your fitness goals.”

“This place is quite literally the best! I gave it a shot in the dark chance at 6:30 one morning for boot camp, needing a good place to motivate and encourage our fitness journey. Fortress has far surpassed any expectations and provided a fantastic environment and community. Thankful for the amazing instructors and athletes I get to workout with!”

KATIE LARIMORE

COACH

Katie did not grow up an athlete, in fact, she was a gaming couch potato until she decided to focus on her health so she could keep up with her two boys at the age of 29. She fell in love with running and started a running group so she wouldn’t have to do it alone. Group fitness has always been something she has gravitated towards, and by the time she was 33, she was hooked on all things health and wellness. After losing 90 pounds and encouraging all those around her to live healthier lifestyles, Katie decided to go back to college earning a BS in Exercise Science in 2016.

Katie has coached in various capacities over the past years and enjoys helping others achieve goals they never thought possible. She has a strong passion for CrossFit and functional movement, furthering her education by obtaining her CF-L1 in 2022. She is a huge believer that you are never too old, too young, too big, or too small to try new things and set big goals for yourself.

When she isn’t at the gym, you can find her enjoying the outdoors hiking, backpacking, camping, and off-roading with her husband and two teenage boys. She’s been known for her ability to rap the entire song Regulators and has the BEST lifting facial expressions you will EVER see!

He has owned and operated Bases Loaded Baseball and Softball School since 2003 and uses varied, functional fitness programming to remain agile, strong, and pain free while actively training hundreds of local athletes each year.
