This review is based on my experience with Solcana both before, during, and after the state-wide COVID shutdown. I'll leave the obligatory note that COVID is still a real threat to everyone's health, and I am glad Solcana is one of the businesses in Minneapolis that is truly taking it seriously. I've been a member of Solcana for nearly a year, and before COVID, the gym itself operated much like many crossfit gyms, with lots of classes, good equipment, and a friendly atmosphere. There has always been a strong focus here on equity and equality (at least as long as we have been members

Let's acknowledge that Solcana, like other CrossFit gyms, is really expensive. If you can't afford it, the rest of this is moot.
But if you can, it's a really wonderful community. I don't actually do CrossFit (I'm on the powerlifting team) but I love lifting in a space that is so affirming and fun, where people will learn your name and greet you like they're really glad to see you, and where I am always genuinely really glad to see my fellow lifters.
Within the national powerlifting community, we have a serious problem: USA Powerlifting (the national association

Solcana is the best fitness center/CrossFit gym I've ever been a part of. It's your typical warehouse CrossFit gym, but there is so much more that Solcana has, that other gyms don't.
Solcana truly accepts all levels of fitness. Whether your recovering from an injury or have never been in a gym before. The coaches and members of Solcana will make sure your comfortable with every movement and piece of equipment and are always ready to offer modifications.
Solcana is a social justice minded gym and is truly accepting of all genders, races, and cultures. Solcana is not filled with

Joining Solcana is literally (really, literally) the best decision I've made for myself in years). It's not just where I work out; it's my home.
Lifting weights in the most affirming fitness space in the world has fundamentally changed my relationship to my body. I want to tell everybody about my yearlong journey to a 115lb bench press and a 115lb push press (I started at 55lb and 30lbs and string bean arms), my 10 pushups, my 10k. NOT about the weight I've lost. Because of Solcana's mission (which is more than just word, but put into action daily), I'm truly on

I'm a veteran of two other crossfit gyms, one of which I partially owned, in three states. I have a physical disability and I've worked out my whole life. I know what I'm talking about!
Listen - this place is the best!
They have replaced that acrid jagged edge that is so common in crossfit (which is great but is also why people eventually leave) with genuine enthusiasm, commitment, and support. We go hard, but we go hard together!
My stomach never goes through the floor at Solcana the way it occasionally did at other gyms, and I'm not always thrilled with what's on

Solcana is the most loving and accepting community I have ever been apart of.
Fantastic programming! The workouts are not random. Every cycle has a focus. So each work out is preparing you to reach your goal at the end of the cycle.
There are so many different classes included in your membership besides crossfit.

If you're new to Crossfit and a little leery about what you're getting into (like I was), I can't imagine an easier Gym to join to start. I realized very early on that this is an easy place to fit in, with athletes of all skill levels, shapes and sizes. Reach out to Hannah (owner & coach) if you're interested. You won't be disappointed.

If you're looking for a new crossfit gym or looking to give crossfit a shot and you're not a brodouche, this is your place. I started coming here two months ago after not having done much in the way of physical fitness for several years. The community is so welcoming and supportive. I never feel self-concious even when I'm lifting with only the bar or a piece of PVC to work on my form. They focus on form. They encourage you to listen to and trust your body so that you push yourself far enough, but not too far.

I've been working out at Solcana Crossfit for two months now and I love it. The programming is fantastic and the coaches are excellent.
Hannah has done a fantastic job of creating an environment where anyone and everyone feels welcome and comfortable working hard together, to get stronger, fitter, and otherwise improve their overall health. As a result, when you work out at Solcana, you immediately become part of a community of friendly, fun and motivated people. Needless to say, I'm a big fan.
Tired of your globo gym? Email Hannah and schedule an intro. You won't be disappointed

Best CrossFit gym in Minneapolis. The philosophy here is excellent - the coaches truly care about your health, your body, and your form and are trained to ensure you'll achieve maximum fitness. As a CrossFit newbie (who is not an elite athlete) I have never felt intimidated or that I couldn't achieve some form of exercise in class. Super women friendly, and comfortable/inviting to athletes and non-athletes looking to up their fitness game. I'm super pleased with my experience at Solcana CrossFit.
