OxFit East Atlanta Village

My wife and I have been members of OxFit Grant Park for about 2 years, and had been eagerly awaiting the opening of their space in EAV. We started at the Grant Park location while living in Kirkwood, and our willingness to battle Memorial Dr for an hour of brutal exercise is a testament to the quality of the training and facilities. We've lived in EAV for 6 months now, and the opening of the new gym has been a game-changer.Ant and Lauren are incredibly sweet and competent, and the equipment is clean and new. I have never been one for group work-outs, but the style of work-out they offer proved to me how inadequate my solo training regimen was. I am more stronger, more energetic, and healthier now than when I started two years ago. I've also met more nice people than I ever did at a standard 24-hour gym. It's been a magnificent change. Couldn't recommend more.

Just started getting my feet wet at OxFit EAV but have known the owners for awhile now. Ant and Lauren are all around awesome and inspiring people.The new facility is awesome. They have done great work to the old East Atlanta Supermarket.For someone who is not the most outgoing person, OxFit has been very welcoming and not intimidating in the least. The biggest step was just getting through the door for the first time. The Oxfit staff and family will jump in from there.

I don't like going to the gym, but for many small reasons , I enjoy going to OxFit. As others have described, it has a great community led by people who find the right balance between pushing you for performance and encouraging you to just show up. I've never seen anyone come in and not feel genuinely welcome. All the new people signing up since it opened is definitely a sign that they are doing something right.

I had previously heard and believed the bad rap that crossfit has. Then, I won a free 1 month membership to OxFit EAV. The second I walked in, everyone asked for my name and made me feel more than welcome. The gym emphasizes being a community and it's truly that. We work hard as a gym and get stronger as a gym, we don't compete against eachother but FOR eachother. The coaches emphasize whole body wellness. They provide running groups, nutrition challenges, pot lucks and so much more to help build a community while simultaneously working on your health goals. The range of skill levels in every class is wide and the coaches seamlessly help me to adjust my form and get better without making me feel less than. They push those at a more advanced skill level in a way that makes me want to cheer them on, not compare myself. When every workout starts off with high-fiving everyone in the gym, you can't deny that kind of atmosphere. Oxfit is changing the face of crossfit for the better!

This place is awesome and a great addition to EAV. The community vibe is fun and friendly but not over the top. The workouts are always different and the coaches are great about making them manageable for anyone. I've definitely gotten stronger since joining and I feel great. No hesitation recommending this gym to anyone looking for a good workout.

My wife and I have been attending Ant and Lauren's other gym, OxFit Grant Street, since April of 2017, and now that they have a location in EAV, we are happy to have another option as we live smack dab in the middle in Ormewood Park. It's easy to join in at the new EAV location because they do a great job of creating a community and culture that is caring, inclusive, and supportive independent of the location. It's great to know that we can step into this new space and show up every day to meet folks new and old to the community who are driven to be better in myriad ways big and small. Additionally, they have created a community in the OxWork space next door that is full of hard-working, motivated entrepreneurs, and the overlap between the communities isn't accidental. A community of wellness is about more than success in the gym or at work alone, after all. There are plenty of ways to get fit, but for us, joining this community was about wellness and connectedness in a broader sense. I have no regrets and many more aspirations than before, so I know it's working. If you're reading this and unsure, come by and see for yourself.

I have been going to Oxfit at the Grant Park location for little over a year now (started in Oct 2018) and have loved it ever since. Now with the opening of the EAV location, I'm able to hop on the bike and make it to the 5 pm class in a short 5 minutes which has really opened up some time in my day.Oxfit is an environment where everyone really makes you feel included while also supporting you in your workout goals. I used to program my own workouts that I would perform by myself and was content in doing that for a while. I started to feel stagnant in my goals and progress until I joined Oxfit. With an environment such as this where everyone is giving their all during the workout, it's almost impossible to not be your best and that really pushed me places that I didn't think I could reach. Ever since playing sports in high school and college, I haven't been able to find that kind of environment until now and I don't think I will be able to go back.

I’ve been working out at OxFit for a little under a month now (primarily in the EAV location) and I have to say, I’m amazed. Historically I’ve – though sheer determination – had several month bouts of consistent exercise, but the OxFit community and programming makes me excited to go to the box at 5:30 am – everyday (seriously, I’ve missed one weekday morning class since I started the end of Jan). The consistency has felt easy and rewarding. I feel both supported and pushed which has yielded results in 4 weeks I didn’t think I’d be capable of in a span of 4 months.The community is everything: knowing everyone’s name, encouraging each other through the WODs, having coaches who know you’re more capable than you think. That’s what you’ll find at OxFit.To say I “highly recommend” checking it out would be an understatement. You need to check it out.

This place is awesome! Just finished my training sessions and am getting ready for my first class! Lauren (the owner) gave me a great introduction, answered all my questions, and led my 5 training sessions. She is a rockstar! I've found gym-culture and workout classes intimidating before, but Lauren broke every move down into easy steps, gave me lots of practice, and encouraged me every step of the way. Seriously, I'd guess that she gives 10 affirmations (at least) for every piece of critical feedback. She took something I found intimidating and made it feel doable, even fun. I'm amazed when I go over the moves and lifts I've learned and realize, "Hey, I can do that now!" Lauren and Ant know how to create community, and everyone at the classes has been warm and welcoming. I'm so glad there's a location now in East Atlanta!

I love this place!! It really did change my life. Me and my wife were looking for a place to workout and we not only got in shape but joined a fun community. Would not ever go to another CrossFit gym in atlanta.
