I love this gym & these people! There’s nothing like surrounding yourself in a community that’s sole purpose is creating a happier, healthier, and overall better version of yourself. Having the opportunity to move and workout everyday is a privilege, and I thank this gym and these coaches for helping me do so. CrossFit can be an intimidating idea, but I have always felt welcomed and encouraged here. Come give Georgia Strength a try!!

As a student, I train in the CrossFit classes here during the school year. After belonging a handful of other CrossFit gyms, I can confidently say that I have improved the most since coming here. Every coach has been very helpful and supportive in terms of helping me reach my goals. The place to join if you're looking for a CrossFit gym in Athens!

I have nothing but good things to say about Georgia Strength. I have been doing CrossFit for several years and moved to Athens for college hoping to find a new gym that feels like home, and Georgia Strength has made me feel so welcome in just a few short weeks!! I went to a different CrossFit gym in the area for my first few months of college but it never felt like a gym “home”- I was nervous to make the switch to Georgia Strength after so many recent changes in my life but I couldn’t be happier that I did. My performance has improved so much more at this gym and I have only been a member for less than 2 months. Not only have I improved on my best lifts but also on my weaknesses. I do both the CrossFit classes and Olympic lifting during open gym and Brent has been a huge help. I am recovering from a shoulder surgery & Brent has been more than willing to help me build back up to my goals safely and with confidence. It is comforting to know that the coaches have the athlete’s best interest in mind and want to see you succeed and cater to your individual needs and goals, not just supply you with a general cookie cutter program with no individuality like many other CrossFit gyms. The workouts are fun and I love the variety of movements and strength training. CrossFit really is for all ages, especially when the coaches are knowledgeable enough to adjust workouts based on the person. I cannot recommend this gym enough & I’m so happy that I joined.

This is an awesome gym. Fun CrossFit workouts and a good emphasis on strength training. The coaches are exceptional! They are all very helpful and knowledgeable. I believe Brent knows more about training and fitness than anyone in Georgia. He has helped me tremendously with my workouts, nutrition and improve from chronic injuries. On top of all of that, there is an overwhelming positive attitude in the gym and my fellow gym mates are super fun to work out with!
