This is one of the best gyms I've ever been to, and I've been to many. I did Bally fitness back in the day, 24 Hour Fitness, and Lifetime Fitness. I took a crossfit "bootcamp" class when I first moved to Atlanta that was $250/mo, of which I could only afford 2 months. I got on P90X and Beachbody streaming to keep up my fitness, and while those all worked for a time, they didn't last. After joining CrossFit Liberate I think I know why: community.

When I first walked in and Larry took me under his wing, he promised me professional training, dedicated coaching, and an atmosphere of camaraderie and support. I had heard it all before. Gym after gym promises you this, but at the end of the day you know you're just going to be working out alone. However, when we were walking through the gym I SAW the teamwork and dedication and the smiles on people's faces. The way members greeted each other and felt comfortable working out alone or in a group made me realize the community was *actually* there.

I had made 2 appointments with other gyms and told Larry I wanted to visit them before I made a commitment. He said that was alright and wished me the best in my fitness journey no matter what I chose. I think I got about halfway back to work when my heart was just screaming "This is it! This is the gym!" I didn't go to the other 2 appointments and I didn't look back. CrossFit Liberate delivered on EVERYTHING they promised. I got personalized coaching through my introduction that really helped me set my form. I got to know the coaches and the members, and once I graduated, the personalization didn't stop there. I feel so comfortable asking the coaches for help or modifications, and I've even had coaches come up to me to tell me to do less or more as they observe my form and know where my body is at. I am so, so incredibly thankful for this gym.

The community brings me back. The smiling faces and fist bumps make me feel less alone in my workouts. The coaches make me feel taken care of, and I know I'm in good hands. And honestly, the price is a steal for what you're getting. It is so SO worth it. You just have to show up. This gym has meant so much to me since I moved to Athens 2 months ago. It's everything I've wanted for my fitness journey and I *finally* feel like I have the support I need to truly reach my goals ❤️

If you are looking for a gym with community, always something happening, and above and beyond coaches, then CFL is it! I love all the class options , between typical CrossFit classes to specialty classes like Olympic Lifting and Hyrox, as well as personal training. I also cannot say enough about the friends that this community has given me. We can all sign up for a 5k together, just go hangout downtown or anything in between, we even have a book club!! CFL also offers childcare for parents with their unlimited membership, the childcare staff is amazing and is always having a good time with the kiddos. Lastly, the coaching staff is beyond amazing. They all have so much knowledge and bring so many great things to the table at CFL.

Best group class gym in Athens! They have free childcare with a unlimited membership, which is what brought me. The childcare is great. There's no screens for parents who would rather their kids be screen free. The childcare workers actually play and interact with the kids. The classes and coaching are amazing. They spend a lot of time working on form in the beginning for those that might be intimated by crossfit or worried about getting hurt. The community of folks that workout here are great. It keeps me motivated to workout so much more so than trying to workout on my own.

Dropped in today and had a great experience. The coaches were very welcoming, the class was well-run, members were all friendly, and the gym space was huge and well-equipped.

I'd definitely recommend CF Liberate for drop-ins and/or if you're looking for a full-time CF gym in the area.

Crossfit Liberate is the best!! It’s an awesome community of incredible people and a place I look forward to going every day!! The foundations course was also so helpful in learning the basics as someone new to crossfit, and I felt so comfortable with the workouts in the larger classes after because of it. So worth the cost!! 10/10 would recommend!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting CrossFit Liberate for both a class and Open Gym session. The facility is exceptionally clean and well-organized, providing a fantastic workout environment. The coaches and members are incredibly welcoming, creating a positive and supportive community.

Coach Leticia led an outstanding class with her vibrant personality, keeping the 12:30 session energized. She provided valuable insights on proper pre- and post-workout hydration. Additionally, I had the chance to work out with Emmanuel, the head coach, who impressed me with his rowing skills.

I returned to use the gym during Open Gym and had another excellent experience. The owner, Larry, was again very welcoming and accommodating. He offered helpful feedback and advice on improving my pull-ups.

Overall, CrossFit Liberate is a fantastic community, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great gym experience.

Arrived for a drop-in and was informed that due to some events going on in town that weekend I was the only person signed up for the class. Coach Emmanuel was very apologetic and gave me the option of a training session with him or open gym. I chose to do my home gym's programming and had full use of the spacious, clean facility. I had no issues paying for use of the gym, however two days later I had a refund of my drop-in fee on my credit card. I would absolutely come back for a class. Located in a great spot right on the edge of downtown Athens!

I was so tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own body that I went online and scheduled my 1 on 1 session. On the day of the meeting I was greeted by Coach Nicole & Coach E. Nicole took the time with me to show me around the box and all the amenities Liberate offers. After that, we did a light workout and I felt like this was a great fit. We scheduled my first class after I returned from traveling and so far things have been great! Each coach has helped me through each workout to ensure I am getting the full benefit. There is also a fundamentals class Nicole told me about but I have been doing CrossFit off and on since 2020 so I did not feel the need to do that but it was nice to have that option. There are plenty of options for class times. So far, I have noticed I am a lot stronger and have so much more energy. I am so lucky to be apart of the CrossFit Liberate family and can not wait to see where this journey takes me!

CrossFit Liberate is the Best! I never thought I would be someone who looked forward to working out but this place, these Coaches, and this community changed all that! I had 0 cross fit experience and very little barbell/ weight lifting back ground. These coaches took their time and taught me how to be safe with the workout while getting better. Other members were a huge encouragement as well! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. I never felt shamed for the way I chose to scale the workouts or the baby steps I was taking. Only ever encouraged for doing hard things! Wouldn’t workout anywhere else!

I moved from ATL and tried out a few gyms in the area before deciding on this one. Great programming for all levels - I can range from 4-5 days a week to twice a month depending on my schedule and always am able to get a great workout in. Everything is scaleable and the coaches are so down to earth. The vibe is fun - good music, culture, and the class is for “every body” meaning it’s not just a bunch of intense athletes competing, but people of all shapes and sizes moving their body. I’ve added personal training here too which has been needed when I’m traveling a lot and having a hard time staying consistent. Take a class and check it out!

CFL is an amazing facility with a community that feels more like family while remaining open and inviting for new folks. When I started CrossFit almost three years ago, I was totally skeptical. However, I quickly realized what a positive impact this type of fitness and this community was having on my physical AND mental health.
Other favorites: CrossFit kids is unique to CFL! My 10 year old loves it. Give it a try! Also, huge shout out to Coach Emmanuel Washington. He was my coach through my Foundations and he remains the biggest asset to this gym and community. My family and I are honored to now consider him a friend!

CrossFit liberate is a 5 star establishment in my book. It’s apparent the community cares about one another. The coaches are invested in the members’ fitness goals and are knowledgeable about movement techniques, workout strategies, scaling options, and mindset pointers. The facility itself is decked out and fully stocked with all the typical trappings CrossFit athletes need to succeed. The WOD programming is thoughtful and geared toward building well rounded athletes. It includes supplemental programming to improve strength and overall cardiovascular fitness. There are a variety of classes offered including daily WODs, aerobic capacity, yoga, and Olympic weight lifting. I think CrossFit Liberate is a high quality gym and it’s really helped me take my fitness to the next level.

Joining CFL has been one of the best decisions i’ve ever made. I started back in October when I wanted to switch up my usual workout routines. Since then, I can confidently say I am the strongest, healthiest, and most confident version of myself. The community here is unmatched and there will always be people there to cheer you on.

CFL has changed my appreciation for working out in the best way possible. Being a college student, it is very difficult to stay active. But with how flexible the times are, whether it’s early in the morning or later in the evening, I always have someone at the gym to look over my workout or a class to take. It’s the best environment and the people are so kind. Truly one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to!!!

I gave 5 starts 2 years ago and I'll do the same today.
Community is strong regardless ownership. Our coaches are knowledgeable and prepared. they are doing their best to provide excellent service and believe me they do!
The location is perfect
equipment necessary to do workouts
coaches can accommodate if you're feeling injured
you have personalized attention from the coaches.
Programming is legit and help you to progress at your own pace.

now the place has a new owner. but at the end what matters is that the Community is Strong and everyone will feel welcome

Wish I never tried this place.

I suffered a torn meniscus while doing overhead squats at CrossFit Liberate. A year later I had surgery to attempt to repair the tear, the surgery failed. I’ve lost a year and a half of my life and counting to the injury. I was perfectly healthy before coming to try this kind of workout. Walking in these doors is my life’s single biggest regret. I told the coaches I was experiencing pain with this movement, they told me to adjust my feet, try this with my knees, encouraging me to push through it. It may be tempting to try but if you’re reading this consider the consequences of injury and decide for yourself if it’s worth it. I am on crutches waiting for another MRI, I’m out of work, paid thousands of dollars of medical bills, and worst of all I can no longer do what I love which is be an active person. I’m on crutches, limp everywhere and can not play with my 11 year old son. It is the most depressing existence in the world. Good luck if you do try it. I pray for you that you don’t get hurt. Side note: Funny thing is they like to insist I had knee issues prior to coming to their gym. When in fact I did a 24 mile *day hike* in Tucson the week before signing up for this place. Could someone with bad knees pull that off? Now I can’t walk without crutches and likely need a second surgery. Steer clear. You can smell the toxicity of this place based on their replies to reviews.

I had done a little bit of Cross Fit before, but am not really a gym guy. I tend to prefer to swim, bike, run, and play outside and am generally skeptical of gym culture. This summer I found myself about 8 weeks out from the rescheduled Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon totally underprepared. Having experienced the ability to grow capacity pretty quickly through Cross Fit workouts before, I checked out Liberate on the recommendation of a friend on my Masters Swim team. What I found was a welcoming, supportive, friendly, body positive, and inclusive space that pushes you hard but with a laser focus on good form and safety. There are some incredible athletes working out at CFL but people of all skill levels can take part with no pressure, no judgement, and a true sense of community.

I had an awesome time at Escape from Alcatraz - nailed the swim, held steady on the bike, and WAY outperformed expectations on the run. I'm pretty sure I would have been a DNF if it weren't for the support, discipline, excellent training, and accountability I got from CFL.

I've been a member at Crossfit Liberate for close to two months now, and can definitely say its the best decision I've made in years. I put off joining for some time, because I didn't want to spend the money. I can now say that the positive impact Crossfit Liberate has had on my life is worth far more than I'm paying. This gym is staffed by professionals who coach you every session to ensure that you improve each day. If you don't think you're fit enough to do Crossfit, please think again! Almost everybody here will utilize scaling at some point in order to do a workout that is right for them. People with all different levels of fitness come here, and no matter your fitness level, you'll be surrounded by encouragement. If you're looking to increase your health and fitness and join an amazing community, this is the place for you!

If you’re debating whether to join CrossFit Liberate — do it! I’ve had a pretty...scattered fitness background since I got to Athens. I’ve joined (and dropped) multiple gyms, yoga studios, group fitness programs, etc. and CFL has been, by far, the most effective, informative, and welcoming space! The coaches are deeply invested in your mastery of the movements, even if that means getting fewer reps to start out or working up from scaled/modified options. This was especially encouraging for me because I was intimidated by the very idea of CrossFit; I thought I needed to have a certain build or ability level before I could start/succeed — not the case! Between the patient guidance of coaches and the genuine support from other members, I have developed skill and confidence in my fitness. Classes are available throughout the entire day so you can fit a workout in no matter what your schedule demands. Do it, do it, do it!

I joined CrossFit Liberate six weeks ago. The coaches and members made me feel very welcome. They communicated all needed information to me and didn't mind me asking questions. They made it easy.
The coaches know their stuff. Very quickly they could tell what level I was at and help me to get through each of the classes while encouraging me to push through to get at my best.
I visited another Box while I was on a trip and while it was nice, it was not nearly the same level as CrossFit Liberate and did not have the same level of equipment and technology.
I feel very lucky to have found such an all around great Box.

The good: Staff is trained and knows their stuff. They also make sure all participants do the intro course to minimize injuries. Some staff are friendly and cool, some act like they’re too cool for you because you are new.

The Bad: Joining CrossFit Liberate is basically like signing a cable or cell phone contract. You are locked in for a year regardless of circumstances, customer service sucks, and all they care about is the money. This is exactly what I felt and exactly why I left. I get like a number, just like I am to AT&T.

CrossFit is awesome, but CrossFit Liberate is awesomer. Super welcoming sense of community; everyone there all share such a healthy, non-judgmental drive to push themselves as well as others around them. Access to different workouts makes this gym a perfect one-stop shop for all different kinds of athletes. And the coaches are phenomenal as well. Funny, professional, educated, encouraging, observant. Everything you could ask for, all here. Sign up for classes in advance because it's a popular spot!

After many years of contemplating whether or not to join the CrossFit community, I went ahead and got a membership at CF Liberate. I must say that in my 2.5 months of being a dedicated member, it has been the best decision I’ve made for myself. From customer service to coaching styles, CrossFit Liberate offers the BEST gym experience to those who care about putting in the work. Every coach and staff member I have interacted with has given me extremely beneficial and personalized advice that I would not be able to find anywhere else. I must give special credit to coach Brandon and coach Jess who have specifically made my experience here so great. These two individuals genuinely care and are very knowledgeable in what it takes to be a great athlete. I would rate this 10 stars if possible. Keep up the wonderful efforts CFL!

CrossFit Liberate is a great box in the Athens area - the facility can’t be beat, it has a great selection of equipment, the coaches are really knowledgeable and attentive, and the community is very warm and welcoming. I dropped in here randomly over the years since they opened when visiting family and finally joined when I moved to the area and couldn’t be happier!

Crossfit Liberate is absolutely amazing. Talented and motivational coaches, clean and stunning facility. As a complete Crossfit beginner- from the first meeting to the Foundations Training ( shout out to Tyler and Regan- bless your patience with me). I have been supported, motivated and given the tools to approach this journey safely. The Founders, Jan and Jack are professional, communicative and there is something special about getting fist bumps from them when they are working out next to you. I recommend Crossfit Liberate to anyone, no matter your level of fitness. They love you up and cheer you on in ways that make the hardest of work seem possible and dare I say, fun.

I have been a member for about 2 months and I am extremely pleased with this place. All the coaches are incredible because they are welcoming, they watch over you, and encourage you. This place is big, clean, organized and offers many types of classes for you to choose, not just weightlifting, and workouts are scaled to your needs. There are many free community workouts and the people are very nice. CFL is home now ♡.

Great facility with an even better staff. I personally take advantage of the lunch time Crossfit classes. I can get a great workout in and be back at my office in just a few minutes longer than an hour. Kid care is also a plus- being able to drop off my children on the weekends while I work out makes Saturday morning classes a breeze.

Charged me $25 for a drop in and $25 for a tank top. And I'm a student. Not a groovy feel.

I joined Crossfit Liberate as a college student with little experience and little time. I was welcomed with open arms and was pleasently surprised to find out that their class schedule allows great flexability! Every time I go in, I learn something new and meet someone new. On top of all that, the commuity atmosphere is one of encourageement and fun!

CrossFit Liberate is an outstanding facility with a group of smart, friendly coaches. From the very first minute I walked in the door, I felt very welcomed at CFL. The Foundations classes are amazing because the coaches make sure they thoroughly explain and teach the correct form and movements for the WODs. The coaches are always willing to offer help and answer any questions you might have along the way. The classes are challenging but fun! Once again, the coaches are always right there to help you scale a workout based on your own personal fitness level. They really want to make sure you feel comfortable with the workout but also push you at the same time. The members of CFL are supportive and always excited to welcome new faces. Everyone helps to motivate and support you through every workout. The variety of classes offered is also outstanding! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

I don't even know where to begin - CrossFit Liberate is simply unparalleled in their dedication to customer service, meeting the needs of each individual athlete, and creating a welcoming and fun fitness community. The coaches are friendly, approachable, and encouraging and constantly emphasize using correct form and technique through each workout. The community is incredible - we push each other through tough WODs, celebrate each others PRs, and keep the morale high. The facility is gorgeous with top notch equipment and is always immaculate. Outside of the typical CrossFit workouts, I really enjoy all of the additional class offerings open to all members that I know will ultimately pay dividends towards my strength, flexibility, and gymnastic skills. I can't say enough good things about this place.

I love CrossFit Liberate! Jack, Gillen, Nat, Jan, and the entire team have been so welcoming. I haven't done CF in a few years and I was a little nervous getting started again. I had no reason to worry, every instructor walks through the steps of each movement and lift to insure correct form. The emphasis is on getting a great workout no matter what age or level athlete you are. Liberate is a great community and I've enjoyed meeting so many friendly people. The facility itself is beautiful and clean with plenty of space. They offer yoga, on-site physical therapy, free community WODs in addition to CF. From the owners to every member of staff, these folks take great pride in their work, there is absolutely no intimidation, and it's so much fun. A great community and I encourage anyone to check it out.
