Our Story

MKT was born in January of 2017. Since then, our aim at MKT was and always will be, to make working out the best hour of your day and time well spent on your journey to becoming the best version of yourself. No phones, no emails, just hard work, and camaraderie. We turn up the music, give fist bumps, and blow off steam. 

MKT members take action, never quit, and lift each other up. We value modesty, kindness, and truth; M-K-T. We never blame, shame, or judge, and we always stay humble, hungry, and strong. 

The CrossFit MKT community has people from all walks of life, professionals, servicemen and women, entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses, teachers, husbands, moms, and more! 

Although we come from different backgrounds and experience levels, we all have an important story and we all have overcome many obstacles in life to get where we are today.

We don’t train for recognition or awards, we train to become healthier, happier, and stronger servants for those we love.

Our Facility

We strive to give MKT members the newest and best equipment to workout with, in the cleanest and most inviting building around. You can expect a well maintained, well stocked and safe environment to improve your fitness in.

Clean & Safe Equipment

Even before Covid, clean equipment is a built in habit for all members after every workout.

Jenna McCay

Jenna started CrossFit in January 2022, and quickly realized what she had been missing out on. So, in December 2022 she passed her test and became CF- L1 certified. She has been involved in some type of sport since the 4th grade. She played softball, basketball, and volleyball. She has been into some type of fitness her whole life. She has cycled between bodybuilding style to powerlifting, but CrossFit now has her heart. She is a proud mother of 3 incredible kiddos. They literally are her WORLD! She enjoys spending lots of time outdoors, baking with her kiddos, coloring with them, and drinking craft beer.

She knew she found my new CrossFit home once she stepped into MKT. She is beyond grateful for the opportunity to coach for MKT. Jenna is continually learning something new everyday and it brings her joy knowing that she can bring that knowledge to the members at MKT. She absolutely loves when the (ah-ha) moment happens and a skill or movement clicks with a member. I

Justin Doisy

Jusin founded CrossFit in 2013 when his wife dragged him to an affiliate. He immediately fell in love with the methodology. The mental and physical growth experienced from CrossFit is second to none. Pushing limits, getting stronger and the fantastic community here at MKT are what bring him back every day. Coaching athletes allows him to explore his passion of helping others, with the added benefit of experiencing their growth first hand. His relatable nature allows athletes of all kinds to feel comfortable in his presence, no matter if it's their first day or they have been doing CrossFit for years.
Jusin is a father to 2 boys and 2 girls with an amazing wife. Family time, spending time outdoors, and sporting events are interests outside the gym walls. Go Pack Go!!
Lets Go!

Ando Cook

Ando was born and raised in Madagascar. He moved to Columbia in 2010 to pursue studies at the university and just never left.
Just like anyone that moves to the U.S., all the tasty foods and overindulgence caused him to gain weight.
Not wanting to succumb to diseases associated with weight gain, he decided to start a workout routine. And like most people that do so, he started with a regular gym membership and has gone on and off, with no structure and no accountability. He was never able to achieve any of his set goals and quickly realized he had no idea what he was doing.
This is when he started at Crossfit MKT. Within 3 months of going regularly and receiving the right guidance, his results were vastly superior to what he had managed to achieve that far on his own. And then the passion for the sport of Crossfit settled in, not just for the WODs but also for the community aspect of the sport. Crossfit quite literally changed his life.
Now, 3 years later, he decided that it is his turn to give back to the sport and to this amazing community, his turn to help others achieve their goals and reach a state of health, strength, and happiness.
