I was just dropping in, but I really enjoyed the programming at CrossFit Lead - Gainesville. The workout was challenging, with a good balance that pushed me but didn’t feel overwhelming, thanks to the clear scaling options that made it accessible no matter your level.

Gina was friendly and helpful throughout the entire session. She took the time to explain each movement clearly, breaking down the form so it was easy to follow. Before jumping into the workout, she led us through a warm-up that focused on practicing those movements, making sure everyone felt confident and ready.

During the workout, Gina stayed close by, encouraging us with timely reminders and motivation that kept my energy up even when I felt tired. Her attention made the whole experience feel personalized and supportive. I would love to attend more of Gina’s classes because she makes a tough workout feel doable and actually enjoyable.

The facility was well equipped and clean.

Dropped in while in town for a work trip. Gym was nice-needs some TLC (signage) on the outside but the people were super nice and coaches were great. Had an amazing work out and didn’t feel out of place at all. I would recommend this place to anyone hesitant about joining a gym and feeling judged. This is a great place to begin your fitness journey or even continue one/try something different.

I recently did a drop-in at CrossFit Lead in Gainesville and had a fantastic experience with coach Katherine.
She explained every movement in great detail and created such a positive and focused training atmosphere.
Her motivation and encouragement really pushed me through the workout.
All the other athletes in the class were also super friendly, communicative, and helpful.
I’ll definitely be coming back – thank you for the great session!

Coach Carter did great today in class. The workout was fun and intense. Coach kept us engaged and motivated us to push through the workout. I was also concerned about my shoulder and I wanted to try wall walks with the workout. I talked to Coach Carter about it and she told me not to overdue it if It felt off, but she still encouraged me to try the wall walks. She also gave me an alternative exercise if my shoulder was giving me issues. She is very observant of all the Lead member’s form during the exercise and helped out where she could. Overall, it was a great experience and a killer workout! I love coming to class when I can!

Update: I’m still coming to class when I’m able to. I love the ability to come to open gym and work on techniques that I’m weak in. The variety of class times is very convenient for my work schedule. You have classes from 5am to 6pm

Joining Lead Fitness was the best decision I made in 2022 — hands down. The coaches are inspiring, supportive, and kind! The Level Method programming at Lead makes challenging yourself fun. I’ve gotten A LOT stronger since I started working out at Lead in August and I notice it in my everyday life. This is a very silly thing point out, but I used to HATE carrying in cases of bottled water after grocery shopping and now it’s easy-peasy. My tennis game has also improved. Even with all this in mind, my very favorite thing about Lead is the community. Everyone is encouraging of each other and that is amazing. Another significant thing about Lead is how approachable the coaches make CrossFit — especially as a woman. Most of my previous workout routines were things like Pilates and barre, so I was super intimidated to try CrossFit because I always considered it a “bro” sport. But another super cool thing about Lead is that most of the coaches are also women! (There are a few bros but they are cool, too.) Anyway, please check out Lead if you are looking for a new gym “home.” You’ll be happy you did.

Update to my review!

During a time when the world seemed to be falling apart, my fitness-the one constant, reliable activity in my life REMAINED because of the fantastic crew at Lead Fitness. Lead closed their doors BEFORE there was a mandate. Why? Because they care about their members and they care about their community. They made a tough decision to protect their people. We, like everyone else, went to Zoom classes but the difference here- Lead provided custom weighted bags to each member, delivered to their door, and all quarantine programming was done around this custom piece of equipment!! This was CLUTCH for those that didn’t have any equipment at home. And the moment we were able to come back, Lead had safe, sanitizing procedures put in place, mandatory masking upon entry and exit, hand washing before and after workouts and social distancing by creating walking lanes and individual workout boxes to ensure 6 feet distance. I am amazed and proud of the effort by the coaches and staff at Lead to protect us and to keep us safe but also making it a priority to keep us FIT! Our health and fitness is more important now than ever and if you want to take control of yours, Lead is the place.

Original Review: Lead Fitness is a top notch gym with an amazing community and a caring staff! The facility is clean with ample equipment, has air-conditioning (which is clutch during Florida summers) and the coaches do an exceptional job making sure ALL members get in a great workout, no matter what the fitness or experience level is. Lead Fitness uses the Level Method which gives coaches and athletes personalized scaling options and safety precautions with modifications that are easily standardized. It is truly a game changer. Instead of walking up to the board and trying to figure out how to scale a WOD, Lead Fitness assigns scaling based on YOUR level, which ensures that everyone in the class gets a good workout, finishes around the same time, and most of all has FUN! There is also excellent group mobility and warm-ups to start and end classes, programmed accessory work after class, open gym almost every day of the week, and some of the best instruction on technique I’ve ever had. It is refreshing to have a team of coaches who truly enjoy working together and that care so much about the work they do and the community they LEAD. The quality of coaching and workouts are top notch and definitely designed to get you FITTER! I love the staff and community here at Lead and feel honored to be a part of this group of first class folks!

Something I love about Lead Fitness is its inclusivity. When I started at Lead about 9 months ago, I was in arguably the worst shape of my life, very unfamiliar with many of the movements and exercises we were doing each day, and I had very little experience in a "group workout" setting. It's easy to feel intimidated in situations like that, but Caleb and the rest of the coaches at Lead truly care about every individual's experience. They take the time to answer questions, suggest a range of options for each workout to conform to different levels of ability, and in many cases have even worked with me individually to teach me new exercises that I had never done before. You will never feel out of place at Lead.

That being said, Lead's response to the significant changes in our lives and routines caused by COVID-19 is really what made me realize how fortunate I am to be a member. They immediately started offering virtual "group workouts" via Zoom, which was great, but they also went beyond that. As a person living alone and working from home, being in quarantine and not seeing another person face to face for long periods of time was very difficult at times. Lead offered near daily virtual social gatherings, I had coaches regularly checking in to see how I was doing, and it was obvious that they cared about me as a person, and not just a customer of their business. As we've gotten back to working out in person, they have done everything right in terms of keeping equipment clean, keeping classes small to allow for appropriate distance between athletes, and doing everything else within their power to keep the gym a safe, healthy environment for us to work out in. I would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Lead Fitness to anybody in my life.

Great coaches, facilities, and members! So Glad I joined Lead Fitness!!! If you are reading this and thinking about a gym I strongly suggest you give Lead Fitness a try! #mysecondfamily

Update: 7/9/20...
During the Covid-19 Pandemic LEAD stepped up and immediately provided its members with personalized in home workouts. They even went as far as providing some workout equipment to help us do workouts during the lock down period. The remote work out programs were very creative and the coaches were very supportive in catering to the needs of each member. During the re-opening phase, LEAD has made it really convenient to come to the gym and feel safe while getting a great workout. They make it a priority to keep the gym and all equipment clean while following all of the CDC, state, and county guidelines. I encourage you come and check out LEAD Fitness if you are considering a Crossfit gym and an awesome gym family. #5STARS

I have worked out at many CrossFit gyms throughout my years in Gainesville and LEAD fitness is hands down the best gym I have ever been to. All the instructors are knowledgeable and the gym uses a system called the Level Method which allows each athlete to work to their own ability and push themselves without succumbing to the frequent injuries seen in other gyms where members are pushed to lift heavier and do things their bodies aren’t yet capable of. There are no cliques and it truly feels like a family. The class availability is very good and the membership allows unlimited attendances for all members. If you’re thinking about trying it out... don’t hesitate. LEAD fitness is a lifestyle change that will push you to be a better and healthier person in the gym and out.

Before moving to Gainesville a year ago, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do about working out in a new place. One of the first days in town, I went to the near by publix to buy groceries and saw the “CrossFit” sign in the complex. The next day I went to Lead to met Caleb and Jessie and after one talk with them, I was confident I wanted this to be my new gym. From day one they brought me in and treated me like their own! The coaching you get there is top notch and the members are extremely driven and nice people. Specifically, Caleb the gym owner, is very experienced and knowledgeable about everything fitness realated and has helped me in my fitness journey tremendously. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the Gainesville area that’s looking to better themselves in their overall physical health and to have a community of people pushing you to be the best version of yourself!

I joined Lead in September 2018 as someone who has never been in a gym or athletic. I didn't even know what a burpee was! The owner, Coach Caleb invited me to tour the gym and got me started with my On Ramp to introduce me to the equipment and all the basics. The coaches are so helpful in teaching the movements, how to use good form, and give so much specific attention to each athlete to help us do our best. The work outs are always different and I love the variety! Whether you have zero gym experience like me or you were born slinging weights you will love it and you will see so many positive changes both physically and mentally. All of the members are welcoming and encouraging and the coaching is top notch. I really cannot brag enough about this gym!

I am so thankful I walked into the Whitfield gym. The coaches there are really great at teaching technique and modifying the workout if your are not quite off the "training wheels" for the lifts. They even offer a foundations class where they teach proper form for all CrossFit movements too. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is open minded and ready for a challenge. The coaches will make sure you have a great workout in just an hour. The best part is, people who attend the gym are friendly and great motivators. Everyone sticks together. Feel free to check out the gym, first class is free!

CrossFit Lead is by far the best gym I have been to. Coach Caleb and Coach Jessie provide all of their athletes with the encouragement, programming, and guidance to really make a difference and to see results. Not only does Lead provide its athletes with smart and fun programming but the gym is truly welcoming of every new member and makes everyone feel at home.

I went into Lead almost 2 months ago without ever having touched a barbell in my life… I've seen more progress (physically and mentally) in the past 7 weeks than I have in my entire life. I get excited to workout, and I'm surrounded by positive athletes and great coaches who genuinely care about seeing us improve and making real progress. Truly one of the best decisions I've ever made!

Coach Caleb is by far one of he most knowledgeable and patient coaches I have met. He takes time with each person at each class. He not only cares about progress but he cares about proper form, technique and understanding of each exercise. there is always a variety of exercises in class and any level athlete from beginner to elite can train here and watch their performance get better week to week. Coming from a running background I have really enjoyed learning the various types of Olympic lifts and gymnastic movements. It has been challenging and very rewarding every time. I highly recommend this box to anyone looking for a great introduction to crossfit and those seasoned athletes looking for a place where the coach takes all of your progress seriously and motivates you to get there the right way.

Throughout the last 10 years, my life has been filled with an abundance of poor dietary choices and a shortage of exercise. Recent health concerns made me realize I needed to make serious changes in my eating habits and to begin exercising regularly. Then in January of 2015, CrossFit Lead entered my life. Goodbye sedentary lifestyle! I just passed my 6 month anniversary with CF Lead and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve lost 20 lbs., 2 inches off my waist line, and I’ve seen a huge drop in my cholesterol level. But it isn’t about what I’ve lost, it’s about what I’ve gained. Confidence…in knowing that I can do it! Pride…in what I’ve accomplished. Joy…in seeing the changes that have come from hard work and eating right. Thank you Crossfit Lead for helping to lead me down a path towards a healthier “me”. My only regret is that I didn’t start this journey sooner.

Unhappy with my previous workout routine, and coming off injury after injury because of poor technique and an over-the-top "training plan" (self-devised), I decided to give Crossfit Lead a chance.
That was earlier in the year. Since then, not only did Caleb take the time to help me develop a smarter and more functional training plan, but he also patiently (and still does) worked with my technique and goal of becoming a better Oly lifter. With Crossfit boxes popping up daily, it's hard to pick the good apples from the bad. Lead is a prime example of a great and supportive training environment/facility, with functional and extremely well-thought programming. Since working with Caleb and Jessie, my lifts have sky-rocketed; every single one of them. It's hard to leave Lead unsatisfied, whether it be from knowing you have an awesome support system, or knowing that you just nailed your first muscle up because the coaches catered to YOUR learning style, or because you just added 25# to your front squat in just 4 months! Patience, knowledge and community were what I was looking for, and that's exactly what I found. You'd be silly not to check this place out!!!!!!! #LeadGainz!

The coaches know what they are talking about. Very mindful of any limitation you might have will work with you on the limitations. I would recommend this gym to all my friends.

Had a fantastic experience with Caleb at CrossFit Lead this past Friday! He listened to my concerns, and was super attentive with my form so as to avoid any unnecessary injuries. Although it was difficult to walk for the following two days, that had everything to do with getting a great work-out. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Thanks again, Caleb!
