“I’m a mature athlete 😂 with about 10 years of experience in the CrossFit space. After taking some time away from training, I decided to return during the Open and I could not have asked for a better re-entry than at Full Steam CrossFit.
From day one, I received nothing but support. The coaching is exceptional- thoughtful, keeps you healthy. Each coach is genuinely attentive to each individual in class. What stood out immediately was how well-run everything is: classes start on time, the programming is solid, and the flow of each session feels intentional and professional.
The facility itself is consistently clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall experience. Beyond the training, the culture is something special—community events, kids’ activities , and an environment where people at all levels feel welcomed and included. The entire team works together, there is no daylight between them.
Coming back after time away, I was honestly nervous, but I was met with encouragement, scaling, and a level of coaching quality that exceeded my expectations. I truly couldn’t have chosen a better gym. I’m grateful for the welcome I received and proud to be part of this community.”
“Emily and Eric have been nothing but amazing since day one. They welcomed me with open arms during my free trial and made me feel right at home.
The culture at Brigade is unlike any gym I’ve experienced. Everyone pushes each other to be their best, and the overall atmosphere is just positive and motivating. Great people, great coaches, and great vibes all around.”

“Absolutely love this gym! It has all of my essentials and is so clean! Shelly is amazing and consistently goes above and beyond to assure you have what you need for your personal fitness journey. All equipment is well maintained too! Highly recommend!”
“Great gym! I cannot speak more highly about the childcare, Bailey, Lana, and all of the other girls here are amazing! My daughter is always excited to go, and I love knowing that’s she’s safe and having fun while I work out.”
“I joined about two months ago and have really enjoyed it. Everyone has been super nice, and all the coaches are amazing.
One thing I really appreciate is how much they care. I’ve been having some back and shoulder pain, and Mathias, the owner, offered to modify my workouts. He’s been adjusting things for me every time I come in, so I’ve been able to continue working out regularly, which has been great.
I don’t think you find that kind of support in most gyms.”
“From the moment I walked in the door until I left, I felt completely welcomed and encouraged by the staff, and even other participants!
The receptionist answered all of my questions and set a good expectation going into the class and the trainer was very attentive to everyone - not just me, the newbie - helping us hit the goals for the session while teaching us how to do the exercises well.”
“I LOVE visiting Spenga Chatt. I hail from Spenga Chapel Hill in North Carolina and have taken and taught at that location. From the front desk, to the communications, to the physical location, to the instructors, to the STRONG sense of community I feel (even without knowing a single person there) -- this is a special place. It's clear from visiting they take pride in building a safe and challenging and fun environment in each and everyone of their classes. I always look forward to coming back to my in-laws house during the holidays because it means I get some REPS in at Spenga Chatt. Keep doing what you're doing b/c you've got a great thing going! I'll be back tomorrow ;)”

“Before I joined OTF, I was one of those who would join a gym but rarely show up. I just didn't like to exercise. Period.
This is different...I've been going for several years now. I try to attend at least two classes a week - three or four when my work schedule permits. It's always challenging but never boring.
Even though I could barely make it through the first few workouts, the OTF coaches always encouraged me and made sure I was doing everything correctly. I hope they realize how much of a difference they've made in my life.”
“We just had my son’s birthday party here and it was so easy and fun! I have to give a shout out to Curtis for just being so helpful and kind and making sure that we were good and had a good time. Really appreciate good service like that.”
“Amazing place with truly energizing workouts! After 10 months at Vive, my progress has been real and consistent — the PT sessions helped me lock in a routine that actually sticks.
As someone new to the city, Vive didn’t just give me a gym; it gave me a sense of belonging. It’s supportive, fun, and instantly made me feel at home.”
“I can’t believe I hadn’t left a review sooner? I moved over a year ago but I still miss this place. They were great working with my unique situation (only in town for a few months before moving). Great facility and people at a really good price.”
“Just 2 weeks in and having great success… stronger, leaner, and starting to enjoy foods my body actually craves. I have a lot of sciatica pain with back and hip problems, but Adam knows how to push me to the limit while still addressing, respecting, and working to heal the structural problems of degenerative discs and so forth. Travis is also hard core. Neither of these guys will let you off the hook. Solid work outs, diet plans, and a no-excuse atmosphere, while still working with legit medical problems, is the recipe for serious change.”
“I'd say GB is a primer modern fitness facility, centrally located on the south side, professionally staffed, and clean clean! Upon entering you can tell they care about the fitness experience and love what they do. I contains two different workout spaces and full locker room facilities. They offer a variety of fitness experiences and will design an exercise program to fit your wants and needs. It's an all inclusive place meaning it's not just for the muscle heads or super intense cross fit types. Just intended normal folks who make health and fitness a priority. The community is very lucky to have dedicated owners/investors willing to commit to the community. If you're looking to workout and be your very best Get Built is the place for you!”
“Beautiful little Church. Attend Mass here on occasion and come for the Sacrament of Reconciliation fairly regular. The Preists have given me some incredibly good advice and helped me immensely after my first wife passed away.”
“10/10 for coaching
As a career athlete, I found myself at a private high-lining event near Seneca Rocks WV. I was confident on my feet but uncertain about harnessing, and being off the ground. I asked around and met Jackson, he took considerable personal time to make sure I had what I needed to go out. He demonstrated great skill, knowledge and a level off-field (unpaid) compassion vital for any successful coach.
If you're near Chattanooga and would like personalized coaching, check out Crux.”
“We had an event at this facility, and it was great. The place is clean and the staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. I will definitely be looking into having something else at this venue.”
“Awesome Jim, and awesome management… Not too large… Not too small. Has all the equipment and facilities needed by most. Late afternoon crowd gets slightly congested… That’s the only critique I can offer. Really like this gym.”
“Been going there consistently for a year and a half. I’ve lost 80 pounds and enjoy going there. Friendly people and all the right equipment for staying healthy.”
“Our son loves McCallie, more importantly the faculty and staff love our son! The brotherhood and focus on developing and preparing these young men for lifelong success is unmatched! This experience has been transformative for our family and for our son.”

“I was a member for only a short time, but my experience with this public gym was fantastic. The gym is large and spacious. They have yoga and spinning classes and a wonderful staff. I give this place five out of five stars for sure. Would recommend to anyone”
“Great!!! However brought my daughter with me she was waiting in the waiting area and would not let her use the restroom. Said she was not a member that is correct but I am. Didn't care for that at all.”
