CrossFit gym story and coaches in West Monroe, LA
A Gym Built on Values
We believe how you train reflects how you live.
CrossFit Chivalry was built from the ground up in West Monroe, LA by people who believe fitness should make you a better human being, not just a fitter one.
Built on More Than Barbells
CrossFit Chivalry grew out of a simple belief: the best version of you shows up when you’re surrounded by coaches who are invested in you and a community that holds you accountable. Since 2014, that belief has shaped everything we do in West Monroe. Our coaches take the time to learn your goals, your history, and what drives you, then build a path that fits your life. Our members show up for each other by cheering through the last rep, noticing when someone’s missing, and celebrating every PR like it’s their own.
That’s what sets us apart. It isn’t just the workouts. It’s the people around you while you do them. Whether you’re walking in for the first time or training for your next race, you’ll find a place where you’re known by name, pushed to grow, and supported every step of the way.
Still Have Questions?
Our coaches bring experience, energy, and genuine care to every session, and they’re invested in helping you reach your goals.

Grace Rekowski
Get to know Grace:
I was born Massachusetts and raised in Pennsylvania, went to school and now family home is Tennessee, but came to LA from TX.
When I’m not at CrossFit I am a strength and nutrition coach at ULM, or hanging with my dogs and hubby Derek.
Before CrossFit, I played soccer and threw for my high school track and field team! (I’ve done CF since 16)
I wanted to become a coach because I love seeing people be able to do things they never thought they could!
The best part about coaching is when it all clicks and goals are reached!
My favorite movements are handstand walks, GHDs, deadlifts, and bar muscle ups!
My least favorite movements are burpees and running!
One thing I never thought I could do, freestanding HSPUs.
My next CrossFit goal is to qualify to a semifinal and compete at the elite level!
Right now my motivation during workouts is the Lord!
Something about me you may not know: I love baking bread, and making home cooked meals!
Something I’d tell someone new: Jesus loves you, and it is never too late to start!
