Even though I still have my LA Fitness Membership, I joined here about a year ago due to proximity to work and the ease of getting a workout in before or after work. I'm now glad I did that because I use their nationwide membership for working out of town. Unique features: - Second floor has all their treadmills facing towards the interestingly designed windows - New cardio equipment throughout the top floor - Peloton bikes Things you might not like: - Second floor free weight area can feel cramped, even when it's not busy - Parking lot can be a bit hectic during busy times but they have ample parking This location offers up older adult programming and Parkinson's classes. They also have a cool kids area for parents that need to get a workout in and have their child in tow. Costs will be more than your average gym but they have a wide variety of options available.

When I turned 65,…read moreI became eligible for Silver Sneakers (i.e., free) memberships at participating gyms and this was the most convenient for me, so I changed a year ago. This place is adequate for most exercisers; plenty of aerobic equipment and exercise machines, plus free weights, a small pool, and various exercise classes. They could use more free weights than they have, as I do have to wait sometimes for a piece of equipment. Compared to the Y that had a separate room for the weights, this place is totally open, as well as brighter and cleaner than the Y, and smells better. The demographic is older; almost no young adults and lots of retirees, and lacking the family programs the Y has, no children. The hours are good, starting at 5:30 am weekdays. Overall, this place is adequate but not a full-featured gym like, say, a Gold's. The prices are good, $38 for seniors.

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.

It is a nice change but can also be slightly overwhelming if you're not a quick learner. They walk you through what the levels mean, what things are and how to use the equipment with a coach. But they also walk you through your workout summary at the end. The First class was a little bit much but felt good. The prices are definitely not for the weak but worth it and I can definitely see how it would make a difference if it's something you can financially accommodate. I like how it feels almost like personal training but in a fast paced group setting.
