About CrossFit Revival
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
After growing up immersed in sports and developing a deep love for fitness, Justin Schardt founded Rack City Fitness in 2014 with a simple goal: to build a fulfilling career doing something he was passionate about. In 2018, while watching the CrossFit Games on ESPN, he discovered CrossFit—and everything changed.
Instantly drawn to its intensity, variety, and community, Justin embraced the CrossFit methodology and was blown away by how it transformed not only his own fitness, but the way he thought about training and human potential. He saw firsthand how pushing beyond comfort zones could unlock strength, resilience, and confidence in ways traditional workouts never had.
After a year of personal growth through CrossFit, Justin felt called to do more. He earned his CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (L-1) certification and began coaching, driven by a mission to help others experience the same transformation. That passion eventually evolved into what is now CrossFit Revival—a space built on community, empowerment, and professional coaching where everyday people come to look better, move better, and feel better.
