our mission

We are not just a fitness program. At Mind Forge CrossFit we are a vehicle for life change. Anyone that has been a member at Mind Forge CrossFit for more than a few months can testify to the unique environment that is fostered by our coaching staff and our community.

This place has become a “third place” for many of our members outside of the work and home life.

It’s a place they come to unwind, work off stress and know that they can be their true authentic self.

No matter what your background is, your age, race, religion, or political beliefs… In this gym, we are all athletes on the same journey. In this gym we all root for each other. We all push each other through difficult times, we all celebrate breakthroughs both physical and mental. In this gym, we all may look and act a little different but we are all part of the Mind Forge CrossFit family.

The small ripple effect that occurs from nurturing happier healthier humans, extends from gym life to the world around us.

OUR MISSION:

TO PROVIDE

positive & challenging environments promoting health, fitness, well being & community

our story

Ever feel like you didn’t fit in? Ever work so hard in a sport and barely even make it to being average? Maybe your heart is there but the physical attributes aren’t. Maybe you start then stop then get angry at yourself. This is so frustrating, demoralizing, and a total confidence killer.
 
When Maci and I opened Mind Forge CrossFit, we wanted a gym where everyone fit in whether they were skinny, heavy-set, old, young, athletic, non-athletic, and all of the above. We wanted everyone to feel accepted just as they were. We both know what it feels like to not fit in. Neither of us was a superior athlete and we both struggled with our weight at one time or another.
 
When you find that place where you fit right in because you are you, that’s when you will thrive. This is true not only for fitness but also for health and happiness. SFC is now a family that exemplifies this value. We embrace and encourage one another to love ourselves for who we are while always striving to be better.
 
Mind Forge CrossFit is a place to call home. To accept each other and be accepted despite all our quirkiness and differing personalities. We love hard and give love equally hard.
 
Happiness is key. This truly is our happy place.

Clint Lowery

CEO / COACH

After my college football career ended, I found myself settling into a sedentary lifestyle, becoming a “couch potato” for the next ten years. That all changed when I discovered the Body for Life challenge, through which I lost 35 pounds not once, but twice! Feel free to ask me about my journey—I’d love to share it with you.

This transformation sparked a newfound passion for fitness, leading me to train for and compete in triathlons. Over the years, I’ve participated in over 100 triathlons, including four half Ironman races and three full Ironman races. Additionally, I’ve completed 15 marathons, six 50k marathons, and four 50-mile ultramarathons.

My CrossFit journey began in 2011, and since then, I’ve competed in over ten CrossFit competitions, a bodybuilding competition, and a powerlifting competition. The diversity of these experiences has fueled my dedication to helping others achieve their fitness goals.

In 2013, Maci and I founded Sweat Factory CrossFit with the belief that fitness should be accessible to everyone. Our mission is to create a positive environment that uplifts the mind, body, and spirit. At Sweat Factory CrossFit, we are dedicated to improving the physical, mental, and overall health of our community members. The joy we derive from serving our community is unparalleled, and we are committed to helping each person who walks through our doors achieve their fullest potential.

Maci Lowery 

CEO / COACH

I have always been part of some type of sport since junior high and high school. Basketball, Volleyball, Track. Dance etc. I attended college on a dance scholarship, dancing for the Basketball team half-time shows, then moving on to Professional Ballroom Dance after. I traveled the US competing for 6 + years.

Then, at 30, I became a mother. Actually, a 225 lb mom! I made the decision I would look 21 & thin again no matter the pain and sweat involved. I took up running and with Clint began Triathlons. The next few years were full of Triathlons, Marathons obstacle races and Ultramarathons. Including a 50k trail race. I lost my weight, ALL OF IT. And was thin but wanted more tone. I was now a “Skinny Fat” so to speak, lol. Clint gave me a weightlifting routine & proved to me a woman can lift weights and get LEAN and tone. NOT big & bulky.

In my careers as a Firefighter and a pro Women’s Football player, I strived to stay in top physical condition. In 2011, we found Crossfit. It is the perfect balance of full-body strength, core strength, endurance, and explosive intensity that I needed for both of my careers. 

When Clint and I launched Sweat Factory CrossFit in 2013, we were driven by the conviction that fitness should be available to all. No matter your age, background in fitness, goals or physical abilities. We aim to foster a supportive atmosphere that enhances mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. At Sweat Factory CrossFit, we are committed to enhancing the health and wellness of our community members. And we are a family within our community. The unbelievable joy we get from supporting our community is unmatched, and we are devoted to helping everyone who enters our facility reach their highest potential.

JENN RICE

GENERAL MANAGER

Having competed in most high-school sports, finding an athletic outlet as an adult was a challenge. After a few seasons of one sport or another, I’d find myself bored of it… until I found CrossFit in 2016 and haven’t looked back. Since then, I’ve gained the back/core strength necessary to overcome prior years of lower back pain. The constantly varied functional movements of CrossFit actually taught me better body mechanics, allowing me to grow in both athleticism and confidence. I want to share my love for this sport with all those who believe – or have been told – that they could no longer do something they love. Our bodies are made to move and our spirits are rewarded when they do!

KEITH BARBER

Director of Coaches Development

Keith Barber’s journey into the world of fitness and athleticism began at a very young age. Growing up, he was immersed in an environment that celebrated physical activity and health, thanks to his mother’s vibrant aerobics classes. Watching her lead those energetic sessions ignited a lifelong passion for fitness in Keith.
Keith’s dedication to athletics started on the track field. From elementary school through college, he was a committed and competitive track runner. His experience spans a wide range of disciplines and age groups, making him well-versed in the demands and rewards of rigorous training. His years on the track taught him invaluable lessons in discipline, perseverance, and the thrill of personal achievement.
In 2013, Keith discovered CrossFit, a fitness regimen that perfectly aligned with his passion for varied, high-intensity workouts. Since then, he has dedicated himself to mastering and teaching the principles of CrossFit. Keith’s fascination with human performance drives him to continually expand his knowledge and improve his coaching techniques.
As a CrossFit coach, Keith’s mission is to share his deep understanding and enthusiasm for fitness with every individual who walks into a CrossFit Affiliate. He believes in the transformative power of physical fitness and is committed to helping others unlock their potential and achieve their personal best. Keith’s approach to coaching is deeply rooted in his own journey, and he strives to give the gift of performance, resilience, and health to his community.

Emily Barnard

COACH

Since a young age, I have always had a passion for helping others. I chased career paths in an attempt to fulfill this passion, that ultimately led to dead ends. It’s true what they say; sometimes what you’re looking for when you’re not looking at all.
I have an athletic history of volleyball, softball, and running, none of which ever came easily to me, determination and resilience was always my strong suit. In 2019, I found CrossFit and never looked back. I soon realized what I loved most about it was watching my community meet and exceed their own personal goals; nothing makes me happier.
In 2022 I decided to start coaching because I wanted to help my community reach those goals and be part of their fitness journey. Being a CrossFit coach allows my passion for helping others and for fitness to come full circle.

Barry Hus

COACH

I am a retired firefighter/paramedic who has spent most of the last 40 years doing endurance sports including triathlons, road racing, and adventure racing. I started Crossfit in April of 2021 at the young age of 62, as a way to regain my strength and muscle mass, and to increase my mobility. During that time the sport, and the CrossFit community have had a major impact in my life. The sport has not only greatly improved my total fitness, but it’s given me an outlet for my competitive side, including a third place finish at the DekaStrong World Championships in 2022, and a trip to the CrossFit Semifinals in 2024. I love being a part of CrossFit, and coaching has allowed me to give back to the community that has given me so much.
