Thanks to 2020 and slack in my work, my body also became too weak. As I joke, my gluteus was not…read moremaximus. I began having issues with my lower back and knee. And then came a sciatic pain, which really woke me up for a 'tune up' on my body. Upon my chiro's referral, I signed up for some training by a pro who understands the mechanics of the body. Now, I am not a gym person or even a person who likes to be physical. And then there is the introverted personality I have that prevents me from wanting to be around people. I got to say, a month in with training, I feel comfortable with going here. AND in small steps, my body is starting to realize her new potential. I know I am not the easiest to motivate or work with at times, but it seems Mike likes the challenge. Both him and Brett are passionate about their work and it shows. In today's world, finding people like this is like finding a needle in the hay. I am beyond grateful for these men and their knowledge, humor and grace. They really make working out fun and informative. Thanks guys!

I have to say, it was a very positive experience. Mike made me feel welcome, genuinely interested in my technique and supported me being a drop in. I would recommend that if your in the area visit the club for a great workout physically and mentally. Thanks Mike!

This place was everything I needed exactly when I needed it. I came here looking for programmed workouts and a change to my routine. I ended up getting highly skilled coaching, programming and a community of people that make me feel welcome. Whether you're a first time crossfitter, a seasoned veteran, a drop-in just passing through or a 60 year old who has never worked out before and feel it's time... you've got a place here. This place really embodies the statement: "CrossFit isn't for everyone, but it is for anyone."

After having an exceptional experience with a crossfit that I loved in Asheville, every CF I have…read moretried since then fell a little flat. After moving to CHS I tried a handful of different things and just never found the right fit for me. After baby #2 I wanted to try again... AOCF was running a challenge, 6 weeks of clean eating and at least 16 classes, setting goals, etc. I decided to go for it, a challenge is right up my alley and I knew the accountability would be good. Here's the thing, the places that left me feeling like it wasn't quite what I was looking for sometimes felt thrown together with classes (like 15 minutes of a body weight workout... if I'm coming for an hour class, I want to use that full hour and get the most out of my time). Also, I want good coaching... Kelly and Megan are awesome with this. And I found myself missing the community that I had built over time with CFA, AOCF has a really fun group of people and they are intentional about building community. So, I ended up being able to do a little over 5 weeks of the challenge (before going out of town for a bit). I dropped 17lbs and not only did my time get a lot better with the workout, but I can feel the changes, I feel better. I'm looking forward to continuing with AOCF and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone else!

I started training with Rebecca and couldn't be more thankful. She can spot my BS from a mile away and always pushes me harder than I'd push myself. She is also super thorough so I am learning as we go which I greatly appreciate as someone who doesn't have a lot of experience with formal lifting. Can't recommend this gym enough!

Quite honestly, I was an athlete in high school... playing every sport I could each season. Working…read moreout came naturally with that and I never really had to think much about it. Then, transitioning through college I struggled to find what "worked". I started down this path of doing the fad workouts until I became sick of them and I no longer enjoyed it (which came way too quickly). Fast forward about 10 years, and that old way of thinking and approaching exercise is totally gone. I started with Black Flag in Jan 2020 and I'm thrilled to say I'm still going strong over a year later (pandemic and all). Through bootcamp classes and personal training with Mike, not only do I enjoy going to the gym but the workouts make it so that I never feel like I'm getting "bored" or that I wish I was doing something else... not to mention I'm the strongest, both physically and mentally, that I've ever been. Between the incredible trainers and the variety of workouts they offer, I'm happy to say I've found my forever gym.

Seriously, my workouts with Tina have included kettle bells, boxing, trampolining, TRX and working out in the park - all in one week. Their creativity inspires me and keeps me motivated to shake my tailfeathers. Plus, they also host really fun boot camps. No yelling or doing pushups in the dirt. Just energized and unexpected workouts with a cool community of people from Park Circle and beyond. The best part - you can try it for free! Did I just say free? Yep. Every Saturday they host a free bootcamp at 10am. Come meet me out there this Saturday! (bonus prize: you can grab coffee and a scone at Evo Bakery post-workout)
