I was attending a conference hosted at UGA when I discovered my hotel gym couldn't begin to meet my needs. I Yelp'd my nearest WA and found this facility; THANK GOODNESS!! This gym is one of the cleanest & has all the equipment an athlete needs. I don't know when the next time I'll be in the area but whenever I am, I'll skip the hotel gym altogether and come straight here.

(And please remember this is coming from an older individual)…read more I was one of the first members 5 years ago. Apparently management has changed since then. There was once a mature gentleman at the front desk and now there are, um, several teenagers at the front desk But don't look down because the floor is filthy and there's a couple of roaches. It is obvious that the equipment when cleaned is cleaned by those who use it not the entire piece of equipment cleaned by staff.. There are three Fox News screens and only one CNN. The music is abrasive and loud (I listen to the 90s and grunge and the music is worse than that.) it is so loud that with both earbuds in it is difficult to hear my book. Could we at least turn it down to the point that the young girls at the front desk don't have to yell and screak and scream at each other to have a conversation? Because of my age and familiarity with gyms I purposely go on weekdays, midmornings. That way I assume I won't interrupt young people's music and screaks of laughter etc. but the abrasive music is the same regardless of the clientele at that particular time. Why do I continue to go? Because it's only 3 miles from my home.

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.

He's a very knowledgeable person not only about fitness and he seems to actually care about your fitness journey. He's an excellent trainer as well and very personable. The place is always clean and has key fob 24/7 access. Its not a mega gym but it has everything you will need to start or continue on your fitness quest. Highly recommend.

Been a member here since October 2010. First things first: The billing is very straight-up. I pay…read more$40 a month, no contract, no initiation fee, no BS. It's a fairly small place, but it's got what I need: treadmills, bikes and elliptical trainers, and a nice selection of weight machines and free weights. Daily classes for those who want them, along with a tanning room and individual showers/changing rooms. Dan and Gisela, the owners, are there daily, they'll greet you when you walk in, and they work hard to keep the place nice. I see a lot of the same people there from day to day, and it's a nice change from the slightly cheesy meat-market atmosphere I've encountered at some other gyms other the years. Like I said, no BS here -- just the stuff you need to stay fit, in a safe, clean, welcoming environment. One last comment: I usually visit in the mornings, and there is never a crowd or a problem accessing equipment, even when school is in. It's a bit more crowded in the evenings, but I have never waited more than a couple of minutes for a treadmill. There's 24 hour access by key card, too. If you need a pool, a sauna, a country-club locker room, or some exotic piece of high-tech fitness machinery, this isn't the place. Otherwise, give it a try!

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 :)

If I could give this place a zero I would. I wish I had read the reviews before I signed up with…read morethem. I was incorrectly charged $110 by Crunch Fitness in Athens, Georgia, in March. After reporting the issue to my trainer, he acknowledged it as a mistake and advised me to dispute it with my credit card company. I did so, but Crunch Fitness never responded with the required information so the charge was not reversed. After this, I was charged an additional $110 two more times, bringing the total incorrect charges to $330. Despite repeated attempts over the past three months, everyone at the gym has acknowledged that a refund is due, but no action has been taken. I have been in constant contact with a member of management for weeks. I've also requested the contact information for the GM/Owner who is apparently the ONLY person with the authority to issue refunds and have been denied this information. He's been telling me for 3 weeks now that said person is working on refunds. Yet I still have nothing. Withholding a refund for money you acknowledge was incorrectly charged if blatant theft in my opinion.
