You walk into the doors of the Junkyard and you can expect consistency, you can expect to work hard and you can expect to walk out feeling like you got your butt kicked but wanting to come back for more! I walked into this gym two years ago and about 50lbs heavier. I didn't really know what to expect, I just knew I wanted to make a change, I was happy with myself and I wanted more. My previous work outs had been at the YMCA and I would just kind of go through the motions, never really saw any results. My first workout at the JY was hard, so hard I thought I might quit but then the coaches are there motivating you, pushing you, telling you that YOU CAN DO IT! And you know what? YOU CAN DO IT and do it again! This gym has built a community, one I'm proud to be apart of! If you have heard about how hard the classes are and you are thinking I'm not in shape enough, I can't go..Or it's too hard for me..Or I'm not a college student, I couldn't keep up.. None of that is true, this gym is for all ages, all body types, all fitness levels. You start on your level and you work to improve yourself, you get faster, you get stronger..at your own pace! The person beside you on the treadmill might be faster than you but let that motivate you to work harder! There's no excuse to not try one class because I promise after you go once, you'll be coming back for more! Don't let the fear of walking through the door stop you from trying it && if you need someone to go with, I'll go with you! I want to say thank you to this gym, the employees and coaches for all you do! I see all your hard work and I appreciate it.

We scheduled with TANYA CAREW out of the Cumming Aquatic Center. Our child had 9 lessons before Tanya stopped showing up. On what was supposed to be day 10, she sent 6 kids home because the capillary refill at the heel was too slow meaning they were too cold and couldn't stay in the pool. The next day she text after our child's lesson was supposed to have started and said she was cancelling lessons because "they are having lessons today". Odd, as I know there are supposed to be lessons... my kid has one scheduled. She is double booking her time. I asked about make up lessons. No response. The very next day she no call no showed. Parents & their kids were showing up all morning and being told no one had seen the instructor. The next day of lessons, a text came in mid-morning saying she wasn't feeling well. At this point we are just getting scammed. ISR has been contacted and we requested a refund but each instructor is an independent contractor so their hands are tied. They can't do anything. TANYA CAREW finally answered us 5 days later saying ISR has a strict no refund policy and she wouldn't be refunding us. She again gave no options for rescheduling, making up lessons missed or refunding us for the time our child wasn't in the pool. She referred us to a different instructor and stated she wouldn't be paying her either so we would have to fork out another $1,000 to get our child started with them. I have heard positive feedback from other co workers and parents who put their children through ISR in Buckhead but I would steer very clear of Tanya and Cumming.

My wife and I have been members at CrossFit Oconee since the Spring of 2018. Under new ownership since the Spring of 2020 (yes, at the beginning of the pandemic), the gym has really flourished. The space is completely renovated, and the equipment & facilities have been updated to the current state of the art. But lots of gyms in the area have nice equipment. What keeps us at CFO is the gym's atmosphere, which is difficult to capture in a few words for an online review. My wife and I have made lifelong friends here. We all show up every afternoon ready to work hard, blow off some steam, laugh a lot, maybe complain a little, and leave a little bit better than how we came in. For those new to CrossFit: the CrossFit Oconee coaches will meet you where you're at, and modify workouts to suit your ability. You will be pushed out of your comfort zone when necessary, but don't be alarmed if a coach takes some weight off your barbell if you're getting ahead of yourself. The staff are very experienced and skilled in gauging a broad spectrum of athletes' abilities. Make no mistake - the workouts are very challenging. But that is exactly why you should be doing them. If you breathe and have a pulse, you should be lifting weights and working up a sweat most days of the week. CFO is the best place in the area to learn how to do that effectively, and maybe have some fun in the process. Come see us! read more

I walked into Crossfit Oconee in Sept 2017 with my then 7 year old daughter. We were familiar with other gym set-ups but had never been inside a crossfit gym. When I walked in I wasn't sure what to think. Payton, the owner, was over in the corner working out and little did I know I was about to meet one of the kindest men and be welcomed into the most encouraging gyms around. In the coming weeks, I would have a 1:1 session with a coach to go over the lifts and have a chance to ask a lot of questions. I had never done this sort of lifting before and so it was very helpful to me to have a session with just a coach and me. After this was done I joined in for a class, I was nervous, BUT I still had the coach with me the whole time. He helped show me what to do and made sure I was lifting safely. The whole class was VERY welcoming and engaging with me. I had finally found the sense of community I was looking for in a gym thanks to Payton and all the great coaches and members. I always look forward to the friends I see and the encouraging atmosphere that is Crossfit Oconee! read more

I've been into working out for 20 years and was always trying to get the body that reflected my dedication. Lifting weights got me strong but I still couldn't achieve the physique I was looking for. Always thought CrossFit was for people that did not want to lift weights. One day I was looking for a change and I decided to give it a shot. Wow I was completely wrong. It's much more of a total body workout plus an easy way to burn calories. The diversity of members from age to level of skill is very broad so anybody could fit in here. You will not be intimidated even if you've never touched a weight before. I was able to achieve the physique I was going for within 8 months. Not just that but I'm more healthier than ever before in my late 40's. Every member there are super friendly and the coaches there to help you every step of the way. The gym is really clean and sanitized by professionals often. read more

There just isn't enough words to explain how amazing this place is. It's not just a gym, it's a family. Every coach and member go above and beyond to make you feel like you belong, and that you CAN do the workouts. When covid hit, the coaches made home videos to ensure that we could still get workouts in even without access to the gym. When we were finally able to reopen, extra safety measures were set in place to make the gym as safe and clean as possible. The coaches, they are the absolute best. They believe in you way more than you believe in yourself. Having a bad day? You won't be once you hang out with them! My self confidence, and the way I view myself is miles apart from where I was a year ago, and that's all thanks to these amazing people. If you're looking for a home away from home, and the best programming a gym has to offer, look no further than Crossfit Oconee! read more
