The Bar, Manitowoc Strength and Conditioning

06/11/2026

Susan and George are doing amazing things in their 8th decade! The exercises are simple and effective. We manage load and recovery. We monitor technique and listen to our bodies. This is what will give them freedom to do whatever they want to do for the rest of their lives and we are so proud and happy to have them with us! Thank you for letting us borrow them for a season!

New website for The Bar, Manitowoc Strength and Conditioning is up at: thebarmanitowoc.com - for anyone who is not currently a member and interested, please pay special attention to the policies, rules and culture code. Although we are shifting to an Open Gym format, we are committed to maintaining camaraderie within a family atmosphere. We are located inside a Family Recreation Center (Strand Adventures) and one of our long term missions has been faith and family-oriented fitness and that culture will be enforced consistently. If that sounds like your speed then give us a look. Trainers interested in using the gym for personal training may contact ownership for rates and setup policies. I am trying to make a fun place to workout with my friends and family - anyone who fits that category is very welcome! 😁

A New Chapter Begins March 1

After 14 years as CrossFit Manitowoc, we’re moving into a new model.

Beginning March 1, we will:
• End our CrossFit affiliation
• Rebrand as "The Bar – Manitowoc Strength & Conditioning"
• Transition from traditional group classes to a 24/7 Open Gym model with significantly lower membership prices
• Offer multiple professional programming tracks
• Provide Coaching Office Hours for guidance (not classes)
• Continue our Platinum Class and special events (Murph etc.)

This change reflects what many members want today and we're building a training model for people who value flexibility, autonomy, and affordability, as well as coaching, guidance, and support when you need it.

We’re so deeply grateful for the years we’ve shared as CrossFit Manitowoc.

More details will be sent to members directly and our new website will be operational within the week for more information. Personal training opportunities will also be available.

We’re excited about what’s ahead 😎
