This is going to be a little long - sorry in advance for that. I have a lot to say. I have done CrossFit (albeit briefly) at two other CF locations in Atlanta. There are many things I love about CF as a fitness program so you'd think that all CF locations are the same, but they really aren't. Things that set CossFit North Atlanta (CFNA) apart from other places are: 1. the programming - every workout can be easily scaled to fit any fitness level. They also offer three levels of classes the "learn" program is for beginners to learn how to lift b/c form is VITAL. Then when you pass that level you go to the program where you just get better and better, it's called "live". The third level is for those who want to compete (all ages!!!), it's called "perform". A few months ago, I thought "power-clean" meant to bleach my house.... (Power-cleans are my favorite lift right now....) 2. the classes - they offer two women's only classes M-F in the mornings. I've never seen women lifting and working out with such intensity and I'm always inspired by what I see there. 3. childcare is offered for the women's classes - the childcare is GREAT! I couldn't do any of this w/out it. 4. the people - from the second I stepped foot inside the building, I knew I was at home. they really do a great job of making you feel comfortable. There is zero intimidation at CFNA. but you will find LOTS of encouragement and they will push you to do things you never thought your body could do. 5. once a week they have a CrossFit Kids class - my 7 yr old LOVES it and it helps her with gymnastics. don't worry, they don't make kids do power-cleans! they do obstacle courses, pullups, and learn how to be healthy. They really foster a love of fitness which our kids need these days!! The thing that amazes me about my progress at CFNA is how fast it is all happening. They also do nutrition challenges throughout the year. So to me, this is a one-stop shop for ALL things health/fitness including your kids.... On the membership fees, this place was also the lowest (despite all that they offer) than the other two CF places I used to belong to. MOMS - If you are looking to get fit and toss that mommy tankini (or one-piece) to the curb come summer, then this is the place for you! Go check them out, you will not be sorry.... it will change your life! read more

Bottom line up front: CrossFit Atlanta is the best gym with the best coaches and the best people I've ever been too. If you're up for the TL;DR version, feel free to continue.... Just a hair over five months ago, I was really frustrated with myself. I'd been trying to run/bike/swim as I've done in the past, but I was having real problems with my feet (plantar fasciitis). Running 3 days a week was killing me. One day I mentioned to my wife, "I think I might just try CrossFit ... I've got to do something!" and God love her, she encouraged me to do it which gave me the push I needed. So I went to CrossFit Atlanta and right away was struck by how great the staff was and how encouraging and interested everyone was in my success. For the past 5 months, I've committed to making it to classes 3-4 days a week. The result? I lost about 20 lbs while putting on a good bit of muscle, I am so much stronger, my plantar fasciitis is gone, my lower back problem (which has been bad since college but getting more chronic) is practically nonexistent these days, and I'm sleeping WAY better. On top of that, I just ran three miles after only doing CrossFit for the past 5 months and ran it 3 minutes per mile faster than I could run even 1 mile before I started. If you've ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said, "Good God! I have to do something about myself!", GET YOUR ASS TO ATLANTA CROSSFIT and sign up for the 90 day Launch program TODAY! Coaches Damon, Jake, and all the others are fantastic. The workouts will kick your ass, but you'll want to keep coming back again and again because you WILL see results. You'll also feel like you found a home where the coaches and facility care more about your progress than your money. Oh, and a HUGE side benefit - you'll meet some really great people - CrossFit Atlanta does a lot of activities to encourage its members to meet each other, and I have yet to meet anyone I haven't really liked! JUST DO IT! Joining Atlanta CrossFit is the best decision I've made for myself in years! read more

TL;DR - Your best self lies just on the other side of your commitment to show up and do the work. When my wife passed away a little over two years ago I made a commitment to get healthy for my 2 little kids. The coaches and community at CrossFit North Atlanta have been instrumental helping me achieve my goals along the way. Some quick stats from March 2016 to March 2017: - Lost 32 lbs of fat and added 10 lbs of muscle mass (net lost 22 lbs) - Lowered my body fat % by 10.5 points - I can pick up 225 lbs off the ground and put it above my head - I finished a 5 mile Spartan Race The more important results for me are that I am physically and mentally stronger, I sleep better, and I have much lower stress. When I started I was pretty defeated and overwhelmed. The repeated act of physically overcoming a seemingly insurmountable workout gave me confidence that spilled over into my daily life. These little daily "wins" of finishing the workout or lifting more than I did last time were really something to hang on to when everything else seemed hopeless. I also found that I got more stress relief by moving my body than by going to a therapist. Needless to say that as I am continuing my journey, you'll still find me at #CrossfitNorthAtlanta. They have had such a profound impact on my life and I am truly grateful to Travis, Elizabeth, Dani, Ernest, the rest of the coaches, and all of my workout buddies. I wouldn't be here without you. Now, how many people can say that about their gym? read more

It's a family. It's a community. I started crossfitting at Crossfit North Atlanta way back in 2008 when my first born was still a baby. I've been an athlete most of my life and was looking for something to ignite that spark again. Enter Crossfit North Atlanta. After my first workout, I was hooked. The best part though is that there are people of ALL skill levels, sizes and ages. For the women out there who may be intimidated or nervous to try it, don't be. Crossfit North Atlanta is one of the first Crossfit gyms in Atlanta and they know their stuff. You will be taught properly from the start and will be well on your way to getting your groove back or getting a new groove...along with strength, confidence and friends you will have for a lifetime. If you're worried about "bulking" up as a woman, don't be. It's virtually impossible with the training we do. Now you might lose all the baby fat and become faster, stronger and harder to kill but I'm sure you wouldn't mind that. After 8 years, I still get sore which is a great thing- it means my muscles are constantly being challenged and worked. I've also never seen a crossfitter that looked their age. Cheers to that! It's the only sport I've ever been involved in where the person in last has the loudest cheers. So go check out CFNA. You know you've been wanting to. Time to put yourself first and make a lifestyle change. You won't regret it. I know I didn't :-) read more

This gym has been life-changing. I'm a person who had done nothing athletic other than getting on the elliptical for 20 minutes at a time once every other week in her life. Having just finished nursing school, I was extra out of shape and simply stressed out. I joined because I knew someone who went there and knew that it was time for a change. It's now been about three months and since then, and I feel amazing. Every day that I am there, I become physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger. Every single person in there is incredible- coaches and members. Not only are they ridiculously strong and physically impressive, but they are some of the kindest, most encouraging, positive people I've ever met. The coaches know just how to push and motivate you, all while keeping safety in mind. The classes are always well-organized, challenging, and fun. Never in my life have I enjoyed working out or been physically strong until I joined here. Because of this gym, I now cannot picture life without fitness, and I am stronger than I've ever been. That is why I love this gym, because regardless of your background, you are taken in as family and every single person in here wants to see you succeed and become a stronger, healthier, better version of yourself. read more

You're not just joining a gym; you're becoming part of a community! I've been living in Atlanta for a little more than a year now and have been a CrossFit North Atlanta member for the past three months. This is honestly the first time I've felt like part of a community. Everyone is there to help you achieve your goals - members and coaches alike. I've competed in a number of different sports - from football to long-distance running and from powerlifting to martial arts. There's nothing like the crossfit experience. Crossfit combines gymnast exercises and Olympic lifting to increase both cardio-vascular and strength endurance. If you put in the effort, it's inevitable that you'll become stronger and more toned. Work has me traveling 2-4 days every week. The training schedule is flexible enough that I can still get to at least 3 workouts a week. My strength continues to improve, everyone is encouraging, and form is still held as a priority over all else. There are many coed classes, classes just for women or kids, private training, and awesome partner workouts on Saturdays! Give it a try - you might just find yourself in the process. read more

At age 40 I was tired of decades of the same workout routine on my own at the local gym. You know the one: Monday=Chest & Biceps, Tuesday=Back & Shoulders, never any legs--ever. I'd watched a friend completely transform himself through CrossFit and finally decided to give it a try. 4 years later and it's been the best fitness decision of my life. I'm healthier, stronger and leaner than I've ever been. The coaching is second to none. Not only do they teach you proper technique to avoid injury, but they'll save you from yourself by forbidding you from hurting yourself out of pride. There are all walks of life at CFATL--from college students to stay-at-home moms to weekend warriors like me. Everyone is incredibly supportive regardless of your experience or fitness level. Everyone is thrilled you're there trying, not how much weight you can lift. I can not recommend CrossFit Atlanta enough as a way to get in shape, stay in shape and be healthy for the long term. They say Father Time is undefeated, but CFATL can help you give him a run for his money. Come give it a try, you won't regret it. read more

LOVE this gym. The programming is amazing and the box is ridiculous. CFNA is located in a huge building that has TWO levels for training, an indoor sprint track and a bod pod. They offer several different levels of training from the novice to the active competitor (levels 1-3 and a women's class that has childcare), crossfit kids (which my kids LOVE) and a kick boxing class on steriods called fight con. They are a full service box with nutrition, personal training, body fat analysis (Bod Pod) and education. I have been a member for over 3 years and it is honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. The trainers are kick ass and will always push and support you to be better, stronger and faster. The members are great and have become good friends that I love to see outside CFNA. If you are looking for a crossfit that has a supportive environment where everyone is encouraged and celebrated for reaching their personal bests and still tests your limits with challenging programming that is fun and effective, then CFNA is the place for you! read more

I have been at CFNA for 5 months now. I have never felt in better shape. They have level 1 and level 2 classes. Level 1 really helps the inexperienced beginners get the skills and techniques down. I was in level 1 for 3 months. I learned a lot about weight lifting and the gymnastic moves (pull-ups, ring dips, ect). Once I felt comfortable with the moves and in better shape I moved up to level 2, but there was no rush to move up. The owner (Travis) and all trainers/employees are awesome. They are always checking on your technique even though they have seen you do a certain lift a hundred times. Everyone in the entire place is encouraging. Even though I have been the last one finishing the WOD, I have never been alone on the floor doing it by myself. Everyone wants to see everyone do their best and we all encourage each other to the end. If you are considering starting up Crossfit or moving to a new gym, come by CFNA and give it a try. read more

This is the Best thing I've ever done in my life , I've been in Crossfit N for 3 months and for the first time in my life I can actually see results , I've been in crossfit in LA before for 1 year and I was active but not a whole lot have changed ..Im one of those people who were never athletic growing up so in the gym I'm the slowest and weakest and no one really paid me any attention I was just there mimicking the moves and terrified of being injured......Crossfit North is a different story EVERYONE is paying Attention to you Im talking about Coaches , people in your group even coaches who are there training themselves and not on the clock..they will get off their set and Say (hey do this that way ..or don't bend like that) its truly a community and a family , I have a super stressful life style and this really helped me both physically and Mentally to stay focused and balanced its a great facility , great coaches & Awesome members read more

Before I came to the CrossFit Atlanta gym, I was on the fence of joining a more traditional (and yes, cheaper) gym. But it had been a while since I had worked out regularly, and decided to pay a little more for a structured class, a supportive and friendly atmosphere, and knowledgeable coaches to help me stay on track with my goals. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It took only a week or two to start seeing results, and took only a few months to be in the best shape I have been in since high school. The camaraderie among the group (people and coaches) is incredible. Everyone is very friendly and supportive, and their 'Launch' program provides CrossFit noobs (me) a comfortable space to learn new movements in a safe way while still getting a kick *** workout! I now look forward to my workouts instead of dreading it, and have made friends in the process. 10/10, would absolutely recommend. read more

Booked a girl's 6 year old Birthday Party here for a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds. At first, I thought it may be too intense for younger kids, but was amazed at how it all worked out for the little ones! There was a full obstacle/ ninja course that fully occupied them for the whole time! There was a zip line, a climbing wall, some box jumps, a rope swing and balance boards. All of the parents were thrilled (especially because it was pouring rain and this was fun exercise). The staff was great - setting up the tables, cleaning, greeting guests and taking gifts. They pitched in and managed all of the 36 children at each station, with ease! They were wonderful instructors, had a great attitude, and helped with clean up and breakdown. It was a memorable party and I highly recommend booking here, especially if you have an active kid! read more

I have become that "CROSSFIT Person" that I swore I would not be when I started about 1.5 years ago. I talk about CROSSFIT all the time, I go to CROSSFIT all the time, I wear CROSSFIT apparel all the time, and I hangout with my CROSSFIT family all the time. I am THAT PERSON now and a lot of has to do with the coaches and people of Crossfit Atlanta. I said from the beginning "I am here to workout and not make friends", but it is impossible not to build a bond with the people who just nearly died with you during the WOD. The coaches and staff of Crossfit Atlanta are among the elite. They make sure to cater to everyone's needs and make it an environment and community you can not help but want to be a part of. CFATL IS THE PLACE TO BE! read more

I joined CrossFit Atlanta about 8 months ago. Crossfit had always interested me but I was intimidated to give it a try. I am so grateful that I did. Joining CFATL has given me so much. When I joined I hoped for something to help me get stronger and more fit. That has definitely happened. What I didn't expect is to find a diverse community of people that supports me at every turn. The coaches are THE BEST. They are amazing teachers who want the best for you no matter what fitness level you are. While they teach form and technique, they also give me the encouragement I need to try things that in the past I would have said are impossible. I recommend CrossFit Atlanta to everyone of any fitness level! This community is truly special. read more

I joined CFATL just over a year and a half ago by recommendation of a friend. To say that this community of coaches and members has changed my life in a significantly positive way is an understatement. I came to this gym wanting to just get some good workouts, lose weight, get strong af and go on with my life. What I got was a community of people that lift me up, challenge me and support me in and outside of the gym. This community of people has been with me through some of the toughest time in my life and I will never forget what they have done for me. This place has the best coaches, most classes and the BEST community - you can't miss here! Walking through the door best choice I have ever made. Keep it up CFATL! read more

I am absolutely impressed with the class structure and instructors at CrossFit north Atlanta. As a beginner to the CrossFit world I was a little nervous about just jumping into it, but I can say that I felt completely comfortable in class and never felt like I was being left behind. I was coached every step of the way on proper form and also encouraged by every one else in the class as we went through the class. The instructors are knowledgeable and the staff is super friendly with no pressure or hidden tricks up their sleeve to get you to sign up. The gym sells its self and i didn't have to think twice about becoming part of this place! A total and complete work out for sure. I recommend this place 100%!! read more

This place is amazing! I was a member of Crossfit North Atlanta earlier this year, but due to a job relocation I have had to find another box to join. I didn't know how good I had it until I started trying out new places. I think it is the little things that made CFNA so great for my family and I. One thing that immediately comes to mind is the bars on the rig are low enough in some spots that you can jump up and do pullups or whatever it is that you need to do. Probably not a big deal to some, but when you are only 5'2", it is huge! The coaching and support are also major factors as to why this place is so great. If I ever move back to ATL, this is where I want to be! read more

Crossfit Atlanta is easily THE BEST GYM I have ever been a part of. I am not just in the best shape physically, but also mentally, socially, emotionally and all probably so many more "-ly's." Sure, people come for the expert coaches, tailored workouts, and personalized fitness plans, but they stay because of the community, because the place feels like home - a place where you can take off the day and feel genuinely connected to others. A place where people take care of each other, check in on each other, and take one hour out of their crazy busy lives to be totally present with each other. And it sure doesn't hurt that it's a whole lotta FUN and we feel better NAKED !! read more

If you had told me 5 years ago that my favorite part of my day every day would be going to the gym, I would say you didn't know me very well at all. But, Crossfit Atlanta changed that. The coaching staff here is second to none, and the family that you make here is truly that. A family. All the things you need are here. Ample workout space, plenty of equipment and showers on site. But what really makes this place special is the people. The coaches and your fellow crossfitters will motivate you, teach you, and push you to be a better version of yourself than you ever thought possible. All while you're having more fun than you ever expected to. read more
