Build strength. Develop resilience. Live better for longer. Portland, Maine's home for world-class CrossFit coaching and programming for athletes of all ability levels.

Why we exist

Who taught you how to take care of your body? That's us.

Some of us need to be able to carry a fire hose up 10 flights of stairs, while others simply need to be able to bring their groceries inside. We all need our bodies to enjoy life to the fullest, and at CrossFit MF we teach you how to develop strength and fitness that will last a lifetime.

CrossFit is the operating manual for your body, and our coaches walk you through it, page by page. No shortcuts, no quick fixes. Just incremental progress in a community that shows up, works hard, and has fun while they do it.

Do it right. Do it well. Then do it again. Welcome to MF.

    “Started going here mid 2023 and truthfully hadn't really done any lifting or exercise for about 10 years. The coaches here are second to none, they really care about making sure you're doing the workouts and movements appropriately and most importantly, safely. I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life and it's all thanks to the coaches and programming at Misfit Gym Portland. Don't get me wrong, CrossFit can be hard, but it's easier when you have a great community to do it with and coaches with you the make sure you're doing it right. 11/10, Six stars.”

    “We moved two years ago to Portland and joined the gym shortly after. We’ve found a fantastic supportive community of all ages and abilities and highly skilled coaches. The environment varies across levels that you can adjust based on where you are. It’s a great place to get in a sweat and improve your fitness!”

    “Best CrossFit gym I’ve experienced. The coaching will meet you where you’re at, while also pushing you to grow as an athlete. The community is equally inviting, appropriately competitive, and hilarious. Every time I leave a class, I’m so happy I get the opportunity to workout here.”

    “This has been our gym for two years — great gym, great coaches, great community. We started in the beginner classes x3mo which I would recommend; we considered ourselves active people but the long intro was needed for me. Really love the engine workouts.”

We could tell you this place changes lives. We'd rather let the members do it.

Julia's transformation is what this gym is about: consistent work, a community that shows up, and little wins becoming big wins.
