Katie is positive and motivating!
I love partner workouts. They make me feel more accountable and confident because you’re not just working for yourself but also encouraging someone else. During the workout, when I start to fatigue, Katie carefully watches my form to make sure I’m staying safe and not risking injury. She steps in to remind me to engage the right muscles or lighten the weight if needed, which keeps me focused and prevents me from pushing too hard in the wrong way. I left the workout at CrossFit Hazel Green feeling accomplished and so grateful - not just for finishing, but for the way Katie’s support helped me push through with confidence and care. This kind of attention makes all the difference in how I approach each session and how I feel afterward.
A little over 1 year ago I started my journey at CrossFit Hazel Green, and to say it has been life-changing would be an understatement. Katy constantly pushes me to work harder and push my limits. Somehow within a large group setting she finds time to do 1:1 coaching to help you make the small adjustments to hit that PR you have been chasing.
This was my first class and Katie was super helpful. She made me feel welcomed and introduced me to everyone. Most importantly she guided me through everything because I wasn’t familiar with some of the workouts. Great first class, looking forward to the next!
The class was great! Katie was great, inspiring & motivating…..providing guidance on proper way to exercise. Enjoyed it very much!
What a great workout. Don’t be afraid of trying CrossFit. Anyone can do it if they have the mindset. Come join us at Hazel Green.
Great job explaining how to bench press today. I felt I had been doing it wrong but with your guidance, I lifted heavier than before!
Haden Hipp is a knowledgeable coach always teaching and showing proper technique and an awesome guy. Blessed to have him as a coach!
Coach Tyler was great! Helped with any questions I had and corrected my form when needed. Encouraging and driven throughout the whole workout. 10/10🔥
Katie is the BEST coach ever! Her positivity and enthusiasm keeps the class giving their all!
How did the coach help you today? Katie is always positive, supportive and shares her knowledge of the workout well. We warm up, practice movements, go over alternative exercises. She always is encouraging and fun to have as a coach!
Had fun, learn something new today.
Explains every part of the movement very well
She made the class fun, gave good corrective advice on form for lift
Mom did great! Even tho coach kev was coaching, she watched us suffer and said we did good!
Marie is always amazing and so helpful. She really helps with me with planning my meals and how I need to be training. I always enjoy our meetings and feel like they help me so much.
Today was my first class and Katie made me feel welcome and was encouraging throughout the class. I am looking forward to my next class and making Crossfit Hazel Green a big part of my fitness goals.
The class was great! Coach Marie was encouraging and gave clear instruction and modification options. The atmosphere was great with a lot of support from everyone!
Always supportive and encouraging !!! Helps me to remember the little things like squeezing my butt and using my legs 🏋️♂️
It was my first time dropping in for a very long time. Coach did a great job helping me scale. Was a lot of fun working out with coach Tyler and the team!
Katie is always an amazing coach! Always encouraging me!
Amazing as always…gave us a great warm up and stretch. Encouraged us
He did really nicely. He came and checked on me and my brother, and when we decided we had enough he didn't make us feel bad :)
Coach Katie is a Great coach I truly appreciate your accountability and your positive energy and I’m glad I’m apart of the CrossFit hazel green family now
I have always enjoyed HGCF. The staff and members make you feel welcomed and it is a great place to workout.
Katie did great in class! Looking forward to coming back!
I've had to come and go from Hazel Green Crossfit. No matter what I've always felt like Katie as been there to help me. As a member or not. To me Katie is the best!! Tons of knowledge from her and the other coaches. Its just a great place to be and grow. God bless you Katie!
Charlie was very motivating and knowledgeable. Great class!
I had a great experience for my first time! The environment energetic and the coach is encouraging and informative. Hopefully I can start coming regularly.
I was here visiting my brother for his birthday & he brought me in. It was awesome! Very inviting group of people & a great way to start your day. Would highly recommend!
Great coach
Katie is the best encourager! We may be legends and our form might be lacking sometimes but she still encourages us to be our best! She is the best!
I used to totally believe all the CrossFit stereotypes and swore it wasn’t for me. My friend finally convinced me to try a class, and **shocker**it was actually awesome. I was worried I’d look like the clueless newbie (which, let’s be real, I was), but nobody cared. Everyone’s too busy doing their own workout. Katie was right there to encourage without hovering - which was exactly what I needed to not feel out of place. The vibe was chill, not scary at all. The circuits were tough but kept moving, and the burn was **chef’s kiss** Never thought I’d say this, but yep… I’m officially a CrossFit fan now.
Katie is an awesome coach. I really appreciated the direction and enthusiasm. Everyone is super friendly and encouraging. The class was challenging but sooo much fun!!!
Always encouraging and empowering 💪🏻
First time attending and it was an amazing class. The couches were super helpful and also very friendly. Very welcoming environment.
Kecia was in control of the class. On time. And very informative.
Melissa was great! She helped out. I actually enjoyed my first session! I didn’t think I would. She was great!
Charlie was great. Always helpful and encouraging
Great start to my day and love the Community! I felt like I already fit in my first time trying out the class I would do it all over again
Coach Katie is awesome. She applies just the right amount of coaching based on your experience and ability and she does it in a way that gives you an opportunity to adjust and grow helping you get stronger. She doesn’t yell during coaching but you know who is in charge during the session. I really enjoy her style and her commitment to those she’s coaching and to CF in general. She’s a dedicated professional.
I always leave here feeling chuffed!
Class was really cool. Everyone was super supportive and friendly.
Katie is always encouraging, works well with you & helps to make sure you’re doing the work out properly
I absolutely loved the community environment, the encouragement, and the motivation as well as the education on how to do the workouts. It’s an environment that makes you want to come to. One of my favorite things was at the end of our workout we were asked to give fist bumps. I love that we were encouraged to uplift others concerning their workouts into celebrate wins together.
She was such a great coach! She showed us all how to do the workout correctly before we began, and she was so sweet and at the same time so encouraging! I 100% recommend this class for people who want to have fun while getting a great workout in!!
Matt was super awesome and very helpful!
Katie is an AWESOME Coach! Every workout is Great!
I have had previous injuries and reservations about going to the class, but after my experience with the way Katie does her classes will so much care and motivation. I will for sure be returning for another soul snatching burn!! 😂😂
Katie is great! So motivating and she helps you tailor the workout to your skill level. Love her classes!
Katie is your go to coach for everything, nutrition, mental health regarding training and physical fitness she makes it feel like home and she’s always so genuine and caring.
Charlie had my alternate workout planed before the class even started. He always has something in mind for my limited range of motion. He checked on me after class to ensure the routine didn't cause me any pain. Thanks for the push!
I really enjoy Coach’s passion and the way he uses analogies to motivate us. He pushes us to reach our fullest potential and constantly reminds us why we’re here. I also appreciate how he keeps the workouts organized letting us know how much time is left before each set starts. Coach gives great affirmations throughout the session, and at the start of every workout he takes the time to explain each movement in detail, often tying it to real-life examples or other people’s experiences. It makes everything connect and feel more meaningful. Overall, he brings great passion and genuine love for the CrossFit community!
She guided through class when I wasn’t feeling 100%; Her motivation kept me going when the going got tough.
Amazing class. I love that Coach Katie celebrates our small victories just as loudly as our big ones! CrossFit Hazel Green feels like home💚
Coach Katie is amazing! Everyone who was there was so welcoming, motivating and supportive. It’s a great environment! I was intimidated by people at a different fitness level than me. There were people of all levels there. I would definitely recommend CrossFit! I will definitely be going back.
Kecia does a great job keeping everyone upbeat and motivated! I also appreciate the corrections on form throughout the class. Thank you!
Katie did Awesome! She educated and motivated me to push myself. I Love her energy and her desire to help her clients reach their fitness goals! 💪🏽🔥
Coach Katie is always so knowledgeable about each movement of the class and explains ways for you to always improve! She makes each class exciting and fun! Always enjoy her Coaching!!!!
All of the coaches at CrossFit HG are patient and kind. I love that form is gone over at every class whether or not we have all done the movement 100 times previously. Katie takes the time to teach us how to improve our technique and pushes me to put forth my best effort. I could not be happier to be a member at CrossFit HG.
It was great! Fun workout with a big class! Super Hot outside! Hard to beat Saturdays! 💪🏼
super fun workout, with a great coach! Great way to start the Saturday!
Amazing community!! 10/10 would recommend!
Very encouraging!
Coach Mat is an exceptional coach who truly brings out the best in every athlete he works with. He has a unique ability to push athletes to reach their fullest potential while creating a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment. Whether you're trying a new skill or refining your current abilities, Coach Mat is always there with patient, clear explanations and thorough demonstrations. His dedication, positivity, and attention to detail make every class both productive and motivating.
I absolutely cannot recommend Marie enough as a coach!! She keeps us motivated, always has a great attitude, and makes sure she is paying attention to everyone to be able to correct and teach as needed during the workouts! I would give not only her coaching but the entire coaching staff 6 stars if I could!
Katie is the best coach ever! I’ve learned so much from her over the last three years. Also I beat Kecia today!
