Georgia Strength / Classic City CrossFit
Reviews
Fantastic people, superb equipment, and a professional space to work it out. From CrossFit to the Olympic lifters Brent has you covered with his experience and expertise. The trainers excel in looking at the whole body making sure you have the proper technique to, not only stay safe, but also to keep making gains and those PR's you’re after. Canine co-trainer Kilo is also a welcome addition to the team as she smothers you with kisses. Personally I've made huge progress toward my goals and have never been stronger. My body works better and performs better because of training at Georgia Strength. Plus, I have been at other places where there wasn't adequate equipment or space and you won't find that problem at Classic City CrossFit.
This place is awesome. I saw the Crossfit games on ESPN two summers ago and thought to myself, "that looks like a good workout." I decided to take the plunge. One of the best decisions I've ever made. I walked in thinking I was in pretty good shape and quickly learned that was false. Every movement is scalable to any fitness level and Brent knows his stuff. This gym will put you into the best shape of your life.
This is one of the best crossfit gyms I've ever been to and is by far the best anywhere nearby. The facilities are the best you will find for a crossfit gym. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The owner takes an active interest in every members success and encourages us endlessly. Not having contracts makes joining painless. Results are fast and inspiring. Being able to track your improvement on a weekly basis keeps you motivated.
I'm very happy with my experience so far at Georgia Strength. I first started here in September in order to get away from the nonsense at some of the other big globo-gyms in town. The equipment and facilities are awesome and the best part is that you never have to wait for the annoying arms-day uber-macho weaklings to finish doing curls on the squat rack. There is a pretty good group of competitive guys and girls at Georgia Strength and I find that this helps motivate me when I'm feeling tired or lazy. However, there are people ranging from elite level fitness to beginners so almost anyone can feel comfortable in the gym. Furthermore, there are a lot of knowledgeable athletes in the gym that can help you with form if you need but are not going to force it down your throat if you just want to do your thing. Brent, the gym owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and is always willing to work with you and your schedule. Finally, I have been impressed with the programming so far. I love that the gym is strength focused, periodized, and performance oriented. Many other crossfit gyms sacrifice strength for the sake of met-con and longer hero WOD performance but I think Georgia Strength maintains a pretty good balance between the two. All in all, I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to build real strength and maintain conditioning in the process.
Have been going to this gym for 6 weeks now and the results have been significant. Leg strength has increased, arm strength has increased, still working on better core strength via the intense glute ham sit ups. Brent the gym owner and proprietor is always there and attentive. As a added bonus, he is into local, organic, and wholesome food, which means he understands that health is a holistic concept. Often other trainers are on hand - like Graham, who is also helpful and consults on proper form. The support from other gym members is awesome too. Feels more like a community than any other gym where everyone just works out in their own little bubble. Would recommend to anyone looking to change their bodies and minds for the better.
