CrossFit Midtown — Attraction in Atlanta

Drop in to CFM July 2018. Very pleased. Michael is kind and welcoming. Pietsch (peach) coached, did very well, and is super friendly. Good attention to members’ needs and technique at all levels. Great training segment and warmups. Gym is well supplied, organized and clean. AC and multiple fans help with the heat, but you’re going to sweat...at least you need to, hustle.

All this is great, what every box strives for as a good business, but what happened toward the end of my workout floored me. It wasn’t the WOD, although tough and I was last...but I’m actually glad I was. I experienced something I have only heard about, after four years of WODs and nearly two dozen boxes around the country where I’ve traveled. I’ve heard it used to happen every WOD. It made CF unique in the fitness community. My understanding is it literally cemented box’s members in solidarity and lifelong friendships and pushing themselves to their ultimate fitness goals.

I was cheered on. Most hadn’t put up their boxes and dumbbells. They were gathered around those left and then finally me, and were giving their time to help us, and me, finish. If you want a gym of caring coaches and members, this might be the one for you, at whatever level you may be.

Extraordinary. Trust me,...

I want to preface this by saying this was just one experience, so I can't offer a full evaluation. However, as someone who has dropped into many CrossFit gyms and coached CrossFit, I felt it was worth sharing my perspective.

Dropped in last week and wasn’t greeted warmly or asked any personal questions, including whether or not I was experienced in CrossFit. The coach who hosted the class I was in had just finished taking the previous class and was visibly sweaty, struggling to catch his breath and explain the WOD.

He also didn't introduce himself or ask if I had any limitations (which I did and had to bring up to him myself, after introducing myself). Throughout the class, I didn’t see him give a single coaching cue to anyone, even though he mentioned he’d been coaching for two years when I asked... so that was surprising.

The members seemed friendly enough, the workout itself was good, and the music was great (personal preference), but overall, the experience didn’t leave a strong impression. Perhaps on another day, it might have...

words can’t describe how much I LOVE this place. it’s like a little piece of heaven on earth � if heaven on earth is sweaty and is filled with barbells and strong awesome amazing people. this place houses some of the most amazing, thoughtful, & energetic human beings that I’ve ever met. I can’t say enough about the wonderful coaching staff here at CFM. I’ve had the pleasure to work with each of them, some even one on one. they all have their different ways of coaching and of course different techniques which is great, bc you get a little bit of everything . i’ve made some amazing friendships here, and without the coaches & members....I wouldn’t be able to do the things that I can do today, and feel proud & amazing about myself! I encourage everyone to just give it a try you’ll be amazed at what your body can do. you’re gonna have a great time and meet some amazing people in this...
