I'm coming up on my year anniversary and I'm so amazed that I'm still sticking with it. I wake up and go 5 times a week, not because I want to all the time but because of the accountability of those there who keep me on my toes even when I don't feel it. They definitely encourage you to push past limits you've set for yourself and continue to move forward and up as you go.

In being a young athlete, it is imperative that the trainers are highly skilled and personally invested in his individual progress...which they are 1000%. Noah is overseeing and consistently and constantly evaluating and "checking-in" on Carson's progress. The facility itself is "best in class"! Trainers are all super friendly! Carson has reached strength goals he didn't think were possible and looks forward to his workouts each week. He thirsts for the betterment of both his physical and mental health. This in turn reflects on his academic and home-life making it an amazing experience and welcome routine! We contribute his positive mindset to his training. Thank you Core Blend Training: North Oconee and all you do for Carson.

It's been years, but I still think about this gym all the time. I found them in January or February…read moreof 2020. Classes were so beginner friendly, but easily personalized to fit your needs if you were more advanced. Worked alongside body builders and people who were still at the beginning of their weight loss journey. Doesn't matter what level you're at, they'll make sure you're getting what you need. The people I met in the classes here were the most encouraging and friendly people I had ever met in a fitness class ever. Incredible energy. Sadly the pandemic happened and by the time things opened back up again, I had moved away.

I've lived all over the country and have done Crossfit off and on for years. I relocated back to…read morethis area & joined a "normal" gym. It was overcrowded & I was constantly waiting for machines. I then tried their group fitness weight training class & the coaches/trainers were not engaged or motivating. THEN, I found Crossfit Oconee and I'm so glad! I tried the free trial just to see if I still had it in me. I won't lie, it was HARD & I was super sore but it left me wanting more. I was super impressed with how welcoming the community was. The athletes introduced themselves & I felt very welcomed. There are a good mix of people and fitness levels there so if you're a newbie - believe in yourself & stick with it. They offer a one on one class for new members to go over the movements & form. You will also get access to the Wodify app which shows you the daily workouts with videos so you can be prepared & practice your movements at home. The During the actual workouts they have more than one coach roaming the gym to offer you help on your form. They will offer you alternative movements if you can't do handstand walks or handstand pushups. The fellow athletes are very inspiring. Every one I've met has said "I stared 6 months or a year ago..." They look amazing too. The gym itself it top notch with the best equipment and it's kept clean. This is hands-down the best CF gym I've been been to and I started off at the original box in San Diego. It may seem pricey but the coaches really are creme de la creme & always make me feel inspired & motivated. I paid the same for a personal trainer & this is way better. They also offer nutrition coaching & serve as a pick-up location for a local meal prep service. Another athlete spoke highly of the nutrition coaching so I may give it a try. The sign up process was simple & easy. The gal at the front desk was super sweet & you get a nice cup & CFO T shirt when you join. They really have a good thing going!!

I started attending classes at Crossfit Oconee in July 2017. I had just turned 41 years old and…read morereally thought that "being in shape" had passed me by. Sure, I worked out every now and then at a big box corporate gym, but never saw any progress whatsoever. So yeah, let's just say I felt like a lot of husbands, dads and professionals out there. Same goes for the wives and moms, you know what I'm talking about. The ones who can't run a mile without keeling over in pain but rationalizes it as being over the hill. The ones who can knock out 20 pushups but inside are questioning why that is so hard. I could go on, but I digress. Payton Owens, the owner of Crossfit Oconee (CFO) is very personable and caring and so are the other coaches who run the classes. However, you get out of it what you put into it. First off, it's hard showing up to a gym, moreover a Crossfit gym as that out of shape dad or mom. But engage with the other gym members, scale your workouts to develop confidence, proper form, strength and endurance and your experience will probably be similar to mine, which is a great one. I'm now entering my 16th month as a CFO athlete (yes, they refer to members as athletes and I like that). When I think back to those first few weeks and even months, I remember how hard it was to complete a workout. But I scaled when needed and just kept showing up. Now, I feel proud and fulfilled - like I've taken my life and fitness back from the years of #dadbod and feeling weak. Not to mention my nutrition and overall physical wellbeing has improved dramatically. Am I where I want to be physically? No way, not even close. Now, I keep wanting to hit a new strength goal or endurance goal. (Isn't that how it should be?) But, it's a lifestyle and mindset change when you go to Crossfit. How many times did you do power cleans or farmer's carries at your box box gym? My overall strength and core strength compared to how I was 16 months ago is 1000 times improved. I have energy for days and my clothes have never fit or looked better while I'm wearing them. Give CFO a chance if you're in the Athens/Watkinsville area. But remember, it's a two-way street. You get out of it what you put into it. That goes for attitude, willingness to learn, asking questions, doing workouts that make you feel like you're going to fall over, etc. And, I say that regarding the couple of negative reviews seen here on Yelp. Come in with a positive attitude and don't be nervous to ask questions or to meet people. It's okay to feel intimidated for the first few trips. I know I did. None of the instructors or fellow CFO athletes have ever made me feel marginalized. As for it being kid-friendly? Sure, it's kid-friendly. I bring my kids with me from time to time, but it's not a nursery. Take a pack n play and put them in there, bring an iPad and have them watch a movie if they're small or get a babysitter for your kids and then go workout. If they're a bit older like mine. Tell them to not act a fool and if they act right you'll take them to Dunkin' Donuts afterwards (but only the kids can have the donuts, not you :)

I can't say enough great things about CrossFit Liberate. I'd never done any form of CrossFit…read morebefore, so I started with the Foundations classes (really well-designed and accessible for a beginner). Every time I've stepped into the gym over the past month and a half, I've been met with supportive coaches and encouraging athletes. You can expect a challenging workout (lots of variety!) where everyone roots for each other. I'm always in awe of the athletes around me and never feel like I'm being judged for scaling/modifying a workout to make it more successful. The gym schedule is also a big perk: I take the 5am crossfit classes during the week (thanks for the early classes that fit a teacher's schedule!) and love the yoga & aerobic conditioning options over the weekend. Thanks again to the CFL team and community!

I started at Liberate 2 months ago after moving to Athens. My husband and I tried out all the crossfit type gyms in the area and Liberate felt like exactly what we wanted in a gym: great programming, nice people, up-to-date equipment, and a sense of community. While I had been active with crossfit for 2 years, I had just come off a 9 month break due to some back issues (non-crossfit related). I felt as if I understood the movements and starting at Liberate would just mean "getting back in to it" and learning very little. After being at Liberate for just 2 months I am shocked at how much my form has improved. The coaches are competent, attentive, nice, and a whole lot of fun. I thoroughly enjoy heading to class!
