The coaching sets this place apart from the rest, and there's never a lack of equipment for a wide variety of workouts a any level. Couldn't ask for a better gym

I had a lot of fun dropping into GSCF. Brent shared some great coaching tips on T2B and then had a challenging WOD qued up. If I am ever back at UGA I will drop in again. Thanks guys

My two children, 11 and 8, have attended the FitKids program, which takes place 3 times a week after school. They have always played organized sports but we had some time this winter season without regular practices scheduled. A friend of mine had recommended the program, so I signed both children up. My eleven-year-old has continued way past our original time-frame, and looks forward to his time with Brent, Ali and the other extremely kind and supportive adults in the gym. He has more confidence, body control, and is having fun setting goals and reaching them. I love the discipline and exercise that the program provides. It is also extremely organized--Brent and Ali are available to answer questions at any point. Can't say enough!

I loved my experience at Georgia Strength. I was in town for a couple of days for work and I wish I'd been there longer! My coworker and I both dropped in two days and got so much quality one-on-one coaching with their owner, Brent.I love their programming--each day started with a warmup that was focused on the smaller stabilization muscles (so we'd take a slingshot for drills and then do some crossover symmetry exercises). Each day we worked in-depth on a lift and then proceeded to do an EMOM and a metcon. I believe I'm still sore, but in the best way possible.Beyond the programming, I enjoyed Brent as a person. Clearly passionate about what he does and passionate about the safety of his members. I got lots of helpful cues from him on my snatch and clean and jerk that I'll keep moving forward. Plus, he has a great sense of humor.I highly recommend this box. If I lived in Athens, I'd be a member in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything!

Best CrossFit gym in town! Started with them about a year ago and since then only progress has been made. They are great at adapting the programming to your fitness level, no matter if you are a beginner or have done CrossFit for years. They focus on each of us individually, they track our progress and make corrections along the way to be able to achieve whatever fitness goals you may have. Lucky to be part of this family!

My class is a functional training class. It is not cross for but it is i teval training with changing workouts that are functional for every day living. People in my class are over 50 and we live Georgia strength. I have. When going for three years and my strength level and overall fitness has improved significantly.The best part are the coaches. They are highly educated and pay attention to every thing we do. No oncorrect form is allowed! Live that

Georgia Strength is a top-notch gym with incredibly knowledgable and supportive coaches. The team of coaches have taught me so much where I am constantly able to see progress, and the atmosphere of friendly competition really pushes me to be my best. I definitely would not be the athlete I am today without the help of the entire Georgia Strength community!
