In July of 2008, 8 months after having my second daughter and barely able to do a sit-up, I was introduced to CrossFit. I was immediately hooked! It quickly became a part of my daily life.
In 2010 my husband and I opened our own CrossFit box. I now have three fantastic jobs! I am a mother of two wonderful girls, a teacher, and a CrossFit coach. It is a privilege for us to share what we love doing with others. I love CrossFit and I love people!
At CrossFit 906, we work with your current fitness level and where you want to go to get the result you want to see. Sure, it’s not going to be easy. CrossFit forces you to work hard. But it will always be scaled specifically for you, and we will be right beside you.

6 months after seeing the results my wife was achieving with CrossFit, I decided it was time to give it a try. Our first workout together was “Angie”: 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats for time. I was amazed to see what she could do 6 months into CrossFit! Since that day, my participation in CrossFit has had a tremendous impact on my life. I enjoy coaching CrossFit, and hold a non-intimidating coaching style.
Our two daughters are a part of our CrossFit regimen. We strive to be positive role models for them.

A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY:
Thank you for visiting CrossFit 906! Your patronage means so very much to us. As many of you know CrossFit 906 began as a way for us to share our love of fitness and athletics with what we assumed would be a small group of interested friends and family while building a lasting business for us to share as a couple. In just a few short months, our membership has grown and we have experienced amazing support from the communities that we love so much. Not just the athletic and CrossFit communities but Marquette County as a whole and the network of small and family owned businesses that have offered their support and advice as we continue to grow. We feel truly blessed.
As a business our mission is very clear, we forge elite fitness for all individuals. Beyond that business mission we have very personal goals and motivations. We honestly believe that CrossFit will put an individual in the best shape of their life. We want to serve the community that we have both grown up in and have chosen to raise our family in. We also both work full time jobs that can be demanding in their own right. Owning and operating CrossFit 906 as a family allows us an added common focus, more time together doing something we love and the opportunity to teach our two beautiful girls the value of hard work and perseverance first hand.
Whether you have joined us as an athlete, offered words of encouragement, congrats or advice or referred someone to us. Thank you! Thank you for accepting our business, our family, into this community.
Sincerely,
Shay, Jill, Lola & Laynie Korpi
