Hidalia always has a great attitude and is very motivating throughout her classes. I love going to her express roar class!
Aprle did a great job instructing me as a 1st time cross fit attendee! She made the entire process smooth.
First time ever stepping into a gym/fitness class and I had the absolute best experience 💗 Daylee was so supportive and encouraging through the whole process. After working with her and Presley I knew I was right where I needed to be. Can’t wait to continue this journey with them ☺️
Aprle is always so positive and encouraging! She meets you where you’re at, but challenges you to push yourself. Always a great class with Coach Aprle!! :)
Nick did great as usual. Learned I need to keep my legs straight on kipping pull-ups.
one of my favorite coaches!! super fun but encourages me to be better than i think i can be! she’s awesome :)
Hidalia is a great coach! She is so encouraging and helps me to strive to better each time I show up. Thankful for her time and dedication to helping others on their fitness journey.
She did the best. No really. Very good coach very good class
Aprle is incredibly patient and knowledgeable.. I appreciate how she’s able to teach at whatever level is needed (expert, beginner, or somewhere in the middle). She makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome!
Aprle is always THE BEST! She makes you feel strong and seen. I love walking in and seeing her smiling face 😁
Hidalia is always amazing! She has high energy that makes the class more fun and motivating.
First class was great. I greatly appreciate the thoroughness of form correction from Nick. I am looking forward to the next class!
Loved Presley’s energy and attention to detail!
Presley is the best. She’s encouraging and funny and keeps the workout enjoyable
She was very nice and I enjoyed the workout
Aprle is an amazing coach! She explains and walks through every step to make sure you get the most out of every workout. Every class is enjoyable no matter the workout with Aprle as the coach!
Great Job! Thanks for letting me try it. Heart rate definitely was up!
Aprle was my coach today and she was so patient and helpful. I am not the best runner but she was amazing and guided me through the workout.
Great class! Instruction was excellent. The gym is well equipped and welcoming.
Rebekah was very encouraging and gave me great feedback. I felt great after the class and really felt like I got a good work out in. She was able to give me feedback without making me feel bad about anything.
Presley was great and very encouraging! This was my first workout class since surgery 12 weeks ago and she was so helpful.
Nick is an awesome coach! Everyone in the gym was super friendly and inviting.
Awesome as always. Really appreciate the fine tuning of my form to help get a little more out of each lift.
Nick’s coaching is always outstanding. He offers encouragement and technique corrections. Nick will decompose technical movements , making it easier to learn the movement. Crossfit Athens is 1st Class, and Nick sets the cadence. Thank you Nick, for your dedication to the CFA community!
More water breaks and pizza party afterwards
DayLee is so encouraging and uplifting throughout the class. She helps you push harder to get out of your comfort zone! Really enjoy her classes!
Aprle was awesome. She offered effective modifications and ensured my technique was correct during the lift.
Aprle’s class today was GREAT—as always! Thanks for helping me get the right modification to continue to improve my front squats!
Nick always does a great job giving instruction on the correct way to do each movement and technique . He is always very involved in class!
The best gym!!!
Good advice on technique. My failure to follow is likely due to dying of exhaustion, or just not strong enough yet.
Amazing workout. Love the high intensity of it. I really like how coach Nick explains the workouts before we start the class and how he also suggests scaling options to accommodate our experience levels
Nick provides instruction in a patient and encouraging manner! I never feel judged…just that he wants us to learn and be the best we can at what we are doing.
Coach Rick does an excellent job at giving clear instructions and advice. I like how he focuses on individual people's form throughout a workout to really understand what they could improve on if there is anything. He encourages me to work harder and overall is just a nice person to be around.
I love Hidalia . She is a sweetheart, always encouraging, always helping me to work harder
Presley is absolutely awesome! She is the best coach. So sweet and uplifting, while pushing you to give your 100% the whole class. I always get a great workout with her!!
Nick did awesome as usual. Very professional and vey experience instructor/coach. I would recommend him and all the other great coaches at CrossFit Athens. Been with him for 5 years and will continue until I can’t anymore.
Jordan is an amazing coach!
Coach Steven is very helpful and always there to cheer you on!
Presley is always awesome, she motivate athletes to push max out of them. I love going her class.
Great work out!!
Aprle Hudson is an experienced and knowledgeable Crossfit coach. She provides positive motivation and helps us improve our skills while being mindful of our capabilities and limitations. I enjoy her sessions and look forward to the next one.
She could be a little nicer. Very abusive verbally towards the older people in the class like myself! 🥹😩😢
Coach Jess is so encouraging. She helps everyone find a modification level that works for them. She runs a very laid back class.
Presley is always so bright and bubbly! She corrects your form and explains everything so well. She brings the energy and is so encouraging always!!
Super great to encourage me to improve myself in my workout!
Nick is an excellent coach and a great example of what a fitness professional should be. He and his staff are fantastic at balancing a person’s ability and safely pushing them where appropriate.
Awesome as always!
I loved ROAR today! Really kicked my butt but it was a good way to start my week!
Class was great, fun atmosphere and lots of encouraging words from coach Aprle and everyone else.
DayLee always knows what each athlete is capable of and pushes you to do your best. She’s a great instructor with good communication
5 stars. Great job today coaching Nick. Everything from the coach led warm up to the workout was clearly explained and movements were demonstrated with coach feedback to ensure safety and proper form. The workout was challenging but rewarding.
Great workout, coach Jessica is a great motivator
