    I have been going to CrossFit Decatur for almost four years now and I can unbiasedly say that this…read moregym has some of the best coaching, largest variety of equipment and some of the best community members I've come across! (Full disclosure, I'm married to one of the coaches but as any lady knows, husband/wife relationship is different than a coach/trainee relationship) The workouts are so prescribed and varied - you can really tell they are not just dialed in. Instead, there is a reason for the madness. Every workout is designed with growth and improvement in mind. Additionally, everyday there are 2-3 different options of each workout to allow anyone to participate at any skill level. You don't get this at many other gyms. The coaches are friendly, well trained and truly care about your form and technique. Again, living with one of the coaches - I have had to listen to technique talks during many date nights... these coaches care. And the members are amazing! They are welcome, close knit and friends outside of the 4 gym walls. I travel a lot and have visited many gyms. CFD's coaching staff and members are a personable, a class act and stand out above the rest!

    I am giving CrossFit Decatur a 2 star rating because while it was not all bad, I had an overall…read moreunpleasant experience at this gym. I will start by saying that the gym my boyfriend and I came from (Crossfit Providence in RI) set the standards very high, maybe even too high. The community was great, the coaches gave excellent feedback and would NOT let you lift heavier than was safe for you to do so, and they ran the Crossfit Opens in a very fun and community-oriented way. I was a member at Crossfit Decatur for 10 months, and my boyfriend was a member for 8. When I joined, the coaches were friendly, talkative and seemed to be very involved. As time went on, this proved to be not so true. With the exception of 1 (out of 3) coaches, none of them would say hello unless you did first. It was not a friendly environment at all (in terms of the coaches, not the members, who were great), and to be honest, I didn't feel welcome/comfortable there majority of the time. The main coach, in particular, did not even say "hello" or "welcome" to my boyfriend for over TWO WEEKS when he joined two months after I did. This coach rarely gave me feedback, and never gave my boyfriend feedback on any movements. He was extremely sarcastic in the way that he would speak to the gym members, and would set crazy high standards that if you were unable to meet, there was "something wrong" with you. If I had been brand new to CrossFit and this was my first gym, I certainly would not have been motivated to continue with the sport. Something worth noting is this gym's odd emphasis on WOD scores. At the end of each workout, the coach will walk around the gym and it is expected that you kept track of your performance and will report it. The coaches then enter your scores for you. Instead of saying "good job" or "nice work!", all that seemed to matter to the coaches was your time and/or reps. At every other gym both my boyfriend and I have been to, Wodify is used by athletes IF THEY CHOOSE in order to track their own progress, not see where they place on the scoreboard. This can be extremely discouraging to somebody who is new or injured, which I was for 6 months, as you have to modify a good amount of movements. The way the Open was ran was not community-oriented, to say the least. Almost every week, at least one of the coaches was away on vacation (and only one had emailed us in advance to wish us good luck), and oftentimes the owner had his personal training clients in the gym at the same time we were doing the workout, and he would say nothing to anybody else except for his own client. Again, this was very very different from my past experience with the Open. It seemed like it was more of a bother to the coaches than anything else. The main coach also programs a "Fitness" workout, oftentimes completely different then the regular WOD, for those who "don't care about Crossfit and just want a workout". Oftentimes, scaled athletes have to do the movements programmed for the Fitness workout simply because they are not yet able to do the regular WOD movements. To say that this means you "don't care about Crossfit", again, is extremely discouraging and is not a good way to motivate others to get better at the sport. There is no place in the gym for members to hang-out before or after a WOD (again, not very community-oriented). The building rarely runs the AC, which in the Georgia summer, can be dangerous. When the AC is turned on, it seems as though we are expected to act grateful....which is odd considering this is the most expensive CrossFit gym in the area. There are limited classes throughout the day, and no classes on Sundays (just an open gym and no music playing. At times, there will be special classes on various topics (nutrition, self-defense, etc.), but these ALL cost extra $$. There is no option of buying Fuel for Fires, or any other post-workout beverage/snack. There is no place to safely do muscle ups, and the rigs are extremely hard to hold onto. You are not allowed to use tapes on any of the rigs either (and there are threatening posts along them to remind members not to tape them). The runs are all programmed along busy main roads, again, not very safe. When my boyfriend and I gave our notices that we would be leaving for a nearby CrossFit gym, we were not asked why or for any feedback by the owner. In fact, the owner NEVER even had the courtesy to reply to my boyfriend's notice, which is if nothing else, rude. I even went out of my way to email the head coach to ensure my boyfriend's notice was received and they he would not be charged in the future, and the only reply I received was "I do not know anything about charges/dates, but I am aware that you are leaving. Good luck.". No "it was nice having you!" or "sad to see you go!" or "where are you headed?" or ANYTHING. Again, not very welcoming. All in all, I would say that the environment here is not a great one if you are looking for a community-oriented crossfit gym.

    This is definitely one of the better strength training classes I've been to. The instructor had…read morelots of energy, he was good at correcting, which I really appreciate. There was a big sense of community among everyone that was there, which I appreciated. I wish that they would've asked if I had any injuries, because I do have a pretty significant lower back injury that I know how to modify for but was corrected on a couple things for. Other than that, things were great!

    I've been a member of Bach Fitness for the past 7 months, and I can honestly say I'm in the best…read moreshape of my adult life. I consistently attend both the HIST and Body Work classes, and the programming is challenging, effective, and always different. Beyond the incredible workouts, the community at Bach is second to none. It's a supportive and motivating group of people who make coming to class something I look forward to every day. The biggest factor in my success, however, has to be the coaches. A huge thank you to Nathan, Johnny, Jermaine, and Howie. They are all incredibly knowledgeable, have a deep understanding of human movement, and truly care about helping you improve. They cheer you on, push you to be better, and create an environment where you can succeed. If you're in Atlanta and looking for a gym that delivers amazing results and has a fantastic community, you have to check out Bach Fitness

    I recently joined F45, 3 days into my 1-week trial. I enjoyed the 2 workouts just that much! I have…read moreabout a moderate fitness level and have worked out at various private gyms for the last 5 years or so and was searching for somewhere closer to my home and in a smaller space with a different vibe. An Instagram ad got me in the door and I signed up for the 1-week trial. After being on a month and a half sabbatical from my last gym, I didn't find the cardio class to be as difficult as I thought it would be. I thought the pacing of the class was good and several people advised me before and during the class to take breaks if/when I needed to. I also took a strength training/weight class that I didn't find particularly difficult to get through and the trainer offered modifications to exercises as needed. What I really like: 1. They show you the moves before the class and they are also displayed on the screens as you move through the workout. 2. Small classes, I think the classes I've taken average about 15-20 people moving at whatever pace they need to. 3. Variety of classes and times available. There are several classes in the morning and the afternoon which are spaced out well for folks that may prefer early morning or evening. 4. Scheduling through the app is super easy and convenient, I've scheduled up to the day of a class. I really like this place and I look forward to coming here regularly. It's definitely not as overwhelming as one of the bigger chain gyms, I think the class sizes are somewhere around 15-20 and it's just a really good vibe for my fitness needs. Also, as someone who was paying $300/month at a private gym for semi-personal training, the pricing at F45 is a steal and I wish I'd found them sooner.

    Might be the best workouts of my life! If you want to get stronger this is the place to go! I've…read moreseen improvements in such little time. S/o to Sean and Allen, they're great. They always bring the energy early in the morning which is much needed!
