Frequently Asked Questions

Lonomi stands for Lower Northern Michigan. We decided on this name because both of the owners and all of the coaches have been born and raised in Northern Michigan their whole lives. We feel proud of our state and wanted to incorporate it into our name!

CrossFit is all about functional fitness, meaning that the things you do in the gym can be helpful outside of it too! You should expect an encouraging community and helpful coaching. Each movement in the gym can be scaled and tailored specifically to match your level of fitness. Whether you are an experienced crossfitter or it is your first time stopping in, there is something for you!

CrossFit is safe for kids, teens, men and women, moms, and the elderly. All of the movements can be scaled which allows for healthy challenge for each individual. The saying "you've got to walk before you can run" is a fundamental part of Lonomi - we will make sure you have a strong foundation to build upon and are committed to your safety as an athlete.

Some people are a little intimidated by Crossfit and we commonly hear "I'd try it, but I want to be able to walk tomorrow!" The beauty of Crossfit and training with us at Lonomi is that we will specifically tailor workouts to meet your individual needs. We will meet you at your fitness level and we don't expect you to be a pro when you walk in! We are committed to celebrating all victories (big or small) and encouraging you along the way! 

CrossFit gyms, also commonly called "boxes", are different than ordinary gyms. Unless it is specifically listed as an open gym workout, there will always be workouts programmed and a coach will lead the whole class through the warm up, workout, and cool down. The programming that Lonomi follows is from CrossFit Mayhem, a very respected box in Tennessee founded by Rich Froning. 

We recommend if you're starting out brand new to CrossFit to start slowly. This will give you a feel for how you like it without any strings attached. If you are struggling or not feeling great about your progress, please talk to one of the coaches! We are committed to helping you along the way and will work with you to find a solution. 

If you still have any lingering questions, please reach out to us via email or phone. We will answer phone calls or texts and can set up a meeting with you before you start if needed!
