I was 42 with 4 kids within 6 years (thanks COVID) and my body wasn’t bouncing back. I joined Georgia Strength because I was tired of throwing out my back picking up toys/kids, being out of shape, and frustrated with my “shrinking” clothes. Mostly clean eating/Keto/intermittent fasting weren’t working as I had hoped. But worst of all? I didn’t have the energy to play with my young kids. Ali and Brent taught me how to lift safely, grow measurably stronger and improve mobility. Best of all, they tailor workouts for me: a postpartum body with diastasis recti. Their level of knowledge is so extensive that I trust them to do things I wouldn’t dare attempt. Not all CrossFit gyms are the same. They genuinely care and remember your body issues. Ali and Brent will meet you where you are at. I’ve been going 3x/week for 62 weeks (and counting) and I’m changing for the better. For me, the increase in energy levels, ability to wear clothes I once avoided, and the bragging rights I badger my husband with are nothing compared to my kids’ admiration. They think their mommy is the strongest. And I am. Made possible by Georgia Strength. To top it all off, this is my community, my home away from home. That happens when you workout as hard as we do. Come and see for yourself.

I never knew that I would enjoy weightlifting but Ali makes it so welcoming and fun. In addition she and Brent are both so knowledgeable about physical limitations and recovering from injuries. Having spent 20 years as a yoga teacher, I’m heartened to find a gym that embodies the wisdom of listening to your body!

Georgia Strength is a fantastic gym! I have been doing CrossFit for about a year and a half, and I joined Georgia Strength when I moved to Athens six months ago. I’ve been extremely happy here. The owners, Brent and Allie, are the best coaches I have ever worked with, and they have developed a great team. There is a strong focus on health and longevity in fitness, including working on proper technique. They give helpful coaching cues to support these goals. The programming is thoughtful and appropriate for a wide range of ability levels. My progress in CrossFit accelerated enormously when I started at Georgia Strength. I would highly recommend this gym to avid CrossFit athletes, experienced weightlifters, beginners to fitness, those recovering from injuries or time off, and anyone in between.

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.

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!

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!

Great class today! I dropped in for the 4pm class. The coach was very knowledgeable and motivating. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my CrossFit gym. Thanks for the ring challenge and all the great tips!

don’t be scared bc it says cross-fit! that was my number one hang up and i’m sooo glad i talked with the owners before deciding whether to go here or not. i started at this gym pregnant and ali has coached me through my pregnancy and postpartum in the moms who move class which is SO supportive and non-competitive. the focus is always helping each individual get stronger and more mobile and i stayed very mobile during my entire pregnancy and beyond thanks to this gym!! they do all their own programming and tailor the exercises to your individual needs. i searched all over athens for a moms class and this is by far the very best one.

I can’t say enough GREAT things about this gym! I go to the Moms that Move class 3 days a week and I ALWAYS look forward to it! My kids love going and are happy while I work out which makes it even more enjoyable. The owners, Ali and Brent are hands on in and out of the gym! They literally care about you and your health as a person! Ali leads the Moms that Move class and she will structure your workout to your personal needs, she will cheer you on, help motivate you, push you to be your best and increase your confidence! You will SEE and FEEL results and you will feel stronger as well as empowered after just one class! The gym and people are inviting and not intimating at all! The support you get is in a league of its own. I’ve worked out my entire adult life and never experienced anything like this! Ali specializes in pregnancy and postpartum but they aren’t limited to anything. They have classes for everyone, kids, adults, seniors, special needs, moms, college students and everyone! If you just want to feel better for whatever reason I URGE you to give CrossFit Georgia Strength a try, I can promise that you will never regret it!
