CrossFit North Atlanta

I have only been a member for two weeks, but the staff is awesome! Everyone is positive, welcoming, and encouraging. It feels good to walk into a «gym», and the staff is not pissed off that you are walking in the door. Not only that, they actually greet you with a smile!
I am new to CrossFit but I have friends that swear by it, so I figured I would give it a try. I haven’t had one disappointing workout. The gym is very large and full of equipment. There are ropes, chains, and rings hanging from the ceiling, and giant tractor wheels, which was a bit intimidating yet fascinating at the same time. I’m not at LA Fitness anymore! I am looking forward to tracking my progress and can’t wait to hit my fitness goals.

Extremely impressed with this large facility. Was here for the superteam competition and it went very smoothly. I would absolutely return if the opportunity were to arise.

AWESOME coaching staff! Great facility! New to CrossFit? New to ATL looking for a new box? Visiting? Go check it out! I’ve been doing CrossFit for about 6 years, recently moved to Atlanta and after looking around for the best in town, I stumbled across CFNA. With experience in the health and fitness field, the gym exceeds any coaching standards. Love the people and atmosphere.

CFNA changed my life! Not only do they make you feel comfy during your life changing process, they cheer you on and lift you anytime you need it! CFNA is like a huge family! Very organized and can see workouts for the week on the app to plan out your week! Definitely would recommend CFNA!

OMG, I don’t even know how to start! Four months ago my husband convinced me to try Crossfit for the first time. He did some research online and found CFNA with great evaluation online. It was a little far from our place but he said: «if we are going to do this, let’s do this right»! To be honest, I had no idea of what Crossfit was about at that time. I went to my first class very skeptical that I would ever be able to do a pull up. I will never forget how welcome CFNA family made me feel from the beginning. I learned a lot about myself and became passionate about facing challenges and achieving my goals. In a very short time I saw my body changing and becoming a better version on myself turned to be an addiction. I am very pleased I made the decision to join CFNA and even happier to be part of this incredible group of people that motivates me every day.

I’m an experienced CrossFitter, and I recently got a job in the area so I had to switch boxes. I did my research for CrossFit gyms in the area and wasn’t thrilled by the contenders, and I am very satisfied that I landed at CrossFit North Atlanta.
On my very first visit I was greeted with a warm welcome. The owner, Travis is a character and he gave me a tour of the space. Everyone I met was friendly and even the coach for the advanced class (which I wasn’t taking) came up and introduced himself. What’s unique here is that there are different classes for your skill level. 1-​Learn, 2-​Live, 3-​Perform, and 4-​Compete. I like this system because you don’t have to scale down all the time if you’re still up for a challenge but you’re not exactly at the elite level.
Besides a friendly atmosphere and large space this gym smokes other boxes in terms of their coaching. I always feel like I receive great attention and great tips on my technique. I really couldn’t ask for more in terms of the programming & coaching. Every day I’m challenged and rewarded.
I would definitely recommend this box for anyone looking. Whether you are a experienced cross-​fitter or someone looking to try CrossFit for the first time, CrossFit North Atlanta will make you feel at home.

This gym was so welcoming and accommodating! The owner was so friendly and willing to work with us to get in our open workout, even when the class was scheduled to do something else. Anytime I’m back in Atlanta, I’ll go here. Unique facility, cool community, eclectic neighborhood – it’s perfect

Started here about 2 months ago. While it’s the most I’ve ever paid for a gym, it’s becoming very apparent that it’s completely worth it. The progress I’ve made so far is astounding. The coaches are all very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Looking forward to continued success here for a long time.

It’s been about a month since I joined and love every day of it. I originally started Crossfit back in St Augustine at Crossfit Atlantic while I was there for grad school in 2012. I was immediately hooked and enjoyed every minute of it. Coaching, the staff, and the members were great. After moving back to Atlanta, I was worried I was not going to be able to find a gym just as good but I definitely found a gym just as good or even better.
Biggest thing I wanted was great coaching focusing on people’s forms and techniques. As a physical therapist, form/​technique and body mechanics is something I focus a lot on with my patients. A great coach isn’t just about pushing you past your limits but scaling and monitoring people’s safety while at the same time pushing your limits. The coaches here are great and focus on every member’s highest potential abilities. It also helps that one of my best friends since we were about 5 is a coach here. Not only is it great getting coached by him but to have the opportunity to workout together and achieve our fitness goals.
The staff is great and also been very helpful along the process. They are always available to answer any questions and help out if needed. The programming is great and focuses on whole body functional movements instead of just certain specific movements. Travis, the owner of CFNA, is hilarious and always down for a good time.
The members here are also a big plus. There are members of all levels so there is no need to be intimidated. You will definitely meet someone stronger/​faster than you, someone along the same level, and even meet people you may be stronger/​faster than. That’s the great part about not only Crossfit North Atlanta but about Crossfit in general. At CFNA, everyone is rooting for each other to do better whether you’re in first place or last place. It’s all about the community and coming together to achieve your fitness goals by living an active lifestyle.
Looking forward to the future with CFNA and accomplishing my fitness goals.

In less than a year, this gym totally rebuilt my 43 year-​old body and made me feel like an athlete again. After a year and a half, I had gone from 25% body fat to 11%, and I keep getting stronger. The coaches are outstanding, the facility has everything you could need, the vibe is encouraging, and the fellow athletes are delightful to know. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every penny.

I started at this gym in August of 2013 and haven’t looked back. The coaching and community has allowed for me to reach places in my fitness that I never thought i could. You always are going great teaching and guidance in each class, AND have the support of your classmates to get you through whatever fun stuff they have planned.
If you are unsure of Crossfit and what it’s about, the staff does a great job in introducing you to the fundamentals of what Crossfit is as well as empowering you do succeed in each workout. The staff is diverse and well trained to help you wherever you are in your fitness journey. I’m looking to make this my permanent gym and hope to see more come out.

Just had the BEST birthday party for my 6 yr old at this gym! The owners went way out of their way to make our American Ninja Warrior party special! Big thanks!

Been working out here for about a year. Great coaches, large facility and lots of quality people to work out with. CrossFit is about community as much as it is about lifting and the people here are great.

I was a member at this gym for 5 months and honestly loved my time there. When I came to CFNA I had never been involved in crossfit before. However, Travis and Elizabeth (owners) and all of the coaches, as well as all of my fellow classmates, instantly made me feel welcome. Steve and Peyton were great coaches on the crossfit side of things and Adam’s Fight-​con classes were awesome! The classes are relatively small, so the coaches can give you plenty of personal instruction and attention to your technique. They also work to scale the exercises to your fitness level, which is convenient with such a great class diversity of skill-​level, experience, age, and gender. I eventually decided to leave the gym only after moving to a different part of town, but if you are looking for a challenging and very fun way to get in excellent shape then I highly recommend CFNA.

My first visit was as comfortable as it gets. It felt like home to me. Kim was very helpful and a good coach. She made the death by Wall Balls and 10min 30sec on/​off as easy as pleasant as burpees can get. Everyone i talked to was inviting and helpful, again felt like my home gym in San Antonio, TX. The programming is some of the best I’ve seen in Atlanta. I will be returning again and again.

This is the best Crossfit gym I have come upon in my many travels.
I have sinced moved away to Phoenix, which is growing on me, but I really wish I could pick up this gym and all the awesome people in it and replant it here in Gilbert.
I’ve come up with a few things that I think make this gym stand out:
1. The people.
The owner, Travis, is at the heart of this whole operation, and he puts his unique spin on everything from the actual workouts, to the trainer management, t-​shirts, and the social aspect.
One of the first things he asked me when I came in for the intro gym tour was:
Travis: «So, most people do Crossfit to either be emergency-​ready or to look good naked. Which one are you?»
Me: «A little of both.»
The other members are such a great mix of beginners, up to elite level athletes. In a class there will almost always be someone who is newer and less experienced than you, and plenty of people who are a step (or many many steps) ahead of you to give you something to shoot for.
I thought that all Crossfit gyms were as encouraging as this one, but I’ve found that to be hit or miss.
For example, I’m usually one of the last to finish the workout, but several times I’ve had other members cheer me on to the very last rep. That’s not something you can find just anywhere, but it really makes a difference when you’re trying to stick with an exercise routine. Encouragement is just awesome.
The instructors are top-​notch. They will make sure you are properly warmed up, and they go out of their way to give individual coaching and advice about your technique. I’ve been at a couple gyms where they will let the members slog through the reps without any advice on how to improve, and how to prevent injury.
2. The programming
I know many gyms post their daily WOD (workout of the day) on their blogs, but they will post the WOD based on level of ability, so if you’re just starting out, you know what you are in for and how it can be scaled to where you are.
I find that many beginners get intimidated by the intensity of the workouts, but here they post the scaled workouts so you can increase your fitness step by step.
Also there’s a ladies only class in the mornings, which I could never actually fit into my schedule, but I know a lot of moms who would go at that time. That doesn’t mean it’s any easier, just a lot more X chromosomes in the house.
3. The facility
There’s a shower facility for guys and gals (it’s not LA fitness though, so don’t expect scented shower gel or anything), and the space is wide open enough with plenty of plates and bars and pull up rigs.
Travis always seems to be installing something new, so the gym keeps going through improvements.
I always drop in when I’m in town, but I definitely wish I could just pack it up and take it with me.
If you’re in the ATL and you want to get strong and fast and look good naked
(btw — I dropped from a 12 to an 8 in the first 3 months), then check it out and stick with it. You will be oh-​so-​happy you did.
I heart CFNA!
