CrossFit South Cobb — Local services in Smyrna

I have been going to CFSC since March 2013 and loving every minute of it.

Background: I was a volleyball player all throughout high school and played intramurals in college. I had been to a few chain gyms but was not seeing the results I wanted and was never motivated to go.

I had heard about CrossFit through a friend and decided to check it out. I googled a few CrossFit gyms in my area and sent a few emails out about wanting to come in and check out the gym. The first response I got was from Miles at CFSC. He was welcoming and encouraged me to come in for a tour and free trial.

So I got up the courage and went in. From the start, Miles was friendly and very knowledgeable about CrossFit. He took me on a tour of the gym and explained how you start with the two week beginners course and then you can join the group WODs. Knowing there was a beginners course where they taught you correct form was a relief, because I honestly thought you just had to learn as you go. After a few days of thinking, I signed up for the beginners course.

For 2 or 3 days, for two weeks, I met Miles and my other beginners "classmate" to learn about CrossFit, form, movements and nutrition. To be transparent, It was the hardest two weeks of my life. Ok that is dramatic and not true, BUT I was so sore I didn't think I was going to make it. However, It was a good sore. I was using muscles I hadn't in years and I knew after that two weeks that CrossFit was what I was looking for.

Fast forward two years and some change, and here I am...still loving every minute of it. I can only go 2x week, due to work scheduling, and still feel great, see results and always feel welcomed by everyone. I have watched CFSC evolve and become a really really great gym. Over my two years as a member here they have added weightlifting classes, rowing classes, more equipment, private training sessions, running classes and more!

The coaches are really incredible and are always there to help and encourage! I really can't say enough great things about CFSC. Do yourself a favor and...

I just celebrated my 2 year anniversary at CFSC. I've never done anything like this before and it was WAY out of my comfort zone. I'm not athletic (or very coordinated); I used to think I was too "girly" to lift weights and always felt intimidated in a gym. Walking on the elliptical in my basement while watching my favorite shows was not doing much so, on a whim, I tried the Intro class and was hooked!

I like the combination of strength training and cardio. I like how every day the workout is different and challenging. I like the feedback I receive from the coaches (they know when to push me harder and when to tell me to stop). I like how it's not just about working out, but they incorporate nutrition, and have onsite chiropractic and massage therapists. I like how CFSC sets up fun events like the Chili Cook Off, Field Day and several community service opportunities too. But most of all, I like the people! I have found a whole new set of friends, a new community, a new family! These people encourage me, motivate me and hold me accountable daily. They were very welcoming since Day 1. They make me want to do my best. I still may be the slowest and weakness in my class, but I don't care, because I see how much I've improved in the past 2 years...things I never thought I could accomplish before (a pull up, rope climb and running a whole mile!), now I can. And I see the benefits in my every day life... walking up stairs no longer makes me out of breath. I can go hiking or bend over to pick up a heavy duffle bag without hurting my back, or having my knees ache, or lying on the couch for the next two days because I can't move. I feel stronger and I'm walking taller. I'm not doing CrossFit to become a body builder. I'm doing it so that I can enjoy every day life activities. CFSC has literally...
