CrossFit Lead - Gainesville

Amie was an awesome coach today - she did a great job cueing me for heavy deadlifts and she also motivated me to complete the Metcon when I hit the pain cave. She is an asset to Lead.

Loved the structure of the class, instruction was great, and is appreciated the attention to each student on form, and cheering on during the “Kingsroad”!

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.

Today was my first class at the gym and Gina was an amazing coach. She was welcoming, friendly and provided excellent feedback for form improvement. Her interaction was cheerful and made me enjoyed the class very much.

Coach Gina has a natural talent for teaching and an inspiring way of guiding the learning process. She recognizes each person’s potential and brings out their best with patience, empathy, and clarity. Her ability to motivate and lead makes every session truly productive and transformative.

Dez has amazing energy! I really enjoy being in her class. Solid coaching as we attempted our deadlifts today.

Very nice and encouraging

You did a great job. You worked with our strengths and helped with weaknesses.

Killed it as always!! She's incredibly motivating and helps push me through every workout. Absolutely fantastic coach!

Des does an amazing job leading class. She is informative and brings a positive energy. She also does a great job of meeting athletes where they are at and pushing them when they need it.

Gina is awesome! Always helps get my form to a better place.

Stephanie did such a wonderful job today - high energy, made us all want to workout at 5am. And she gave detailed cues on power clean form.

This was a great class! Kat took time to help me and offer modifications for me as a very new CrossFit student 🙂

Gina is the best! Very knowledgeable and she’s very attentive to new members

Gina is always amazing. Great advice, instruction and motivation. CrossFit Lead is the best!

I’m so glad I joined this CrossFit gym! Coach Gina has been amazing, especially since I’m new to CrossFit. She always takes the time to adjust exercises to my level and makes sure I’m doing them correctly, which gives me confidence to keep improving. I learn something new every class, and I really appreciate how she makes the sessions both comfortable and challenging. Her guidance pushes me to get stronger in the right way. I definitely feel the impact of the workouts in a good way, and it keeps me motivated to come back. The whole coaching team and the well organized space make this such a great place to train. I’m always excited for the next session!

Tori is amazing. 🔥😀great coach! Useful pointers and always a pleasure to be around.

Gina is amazing! She’s so attentive to everyone in the class from the novice to the experienced. She pushes you to test your limits with an intense focus on form and doing it the right way.

I recently did a drop-in at Lead CrossFit 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 Tori is solid! She’s a great coach, obviously experienced, great instructions, engaging and funny. I always learn something new that really helps me! I enjoy her classes. She’s a great addition to the coaching staff and to the Lead family. Thanks Tori! 🙌🏻💪🏻

Awesome cues for split jerk today ! Appreciate the encouragement !

She was great coach. Gave good direction and options for scale. The regulars welcomed me with open arms! Will recommend to friends when they visit!

Katharine was awesome! Gave great feedback and cues while pushing you to give it your all without being overbearing, she respects your scaling option and pushes you to be working hard in your range!

My husband and I are visiting family and wanted to drop in for a CrossFit class. From beginning to end Amy was so inviting and helpful. From the warm up to the cool down, Amy emphasized movement integrity and various levels for the workout. The community at CrossFit lead was phenomenal, we felt like part of the family! Thank you CrossFit lead for a great workout and community!

Amy is amazing. She

Brent keeps the energy high and is very encouraging to us during class to ensure safety and improved technique

Gina is great ! Explains things clearly and pushes you when you need it !

Brent was great. He went over all the movements in the workout, offered great tips to improve my form and was very encouraging. Everyone was super friendly.

Today was a good day in class . Coach Brent is very informative, very positive. He makes class fun.

Quick to welcome me into the group and full of encouragement!

My partner and I did a drop in today for Amy's 10:00am class and Amy was superb! She was friendly and welcoming from the very first moment of us arriving which made us both feel at home. Amy did an excellent job of coaching the class and was friendly and professional throughout. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending CrossFit Lead, or Coach Amy, to anyone and my partner and I intend to be returning next year when we come back out this way. Thanks for making us feel so welcome! (Also big shout out to 'Flo' who was wonderful company and smashed the workout :) ) Cheers, Dave

Kat is a wonderful coach! She keeps our large class on task and moving in a timely manner. She takes the time to help improve everyone’s proper form no matter what the movement is. I like the little analogies she uses to explain the small details that matter(I.E. tuck your shoulder blades in your back pocket) such as when performing Olympic lifts from the floor.

Such a welcoming class. Coach was engaged and customized/scaled appropriately for everyone with attention to detail. It was a great first day back in the gym and I look forward to coming back!

Excellent coach, who helps you push past failure.

Gina's classes are always engaging and thorough. She makes it fun, while keeping it safe and makes us feel the burn. She is great with helping individuals athletes scale for injury or skill level. 10/10 recommend!

Love Kat. She is always helpful and corrects you to make sure you get the most out of your workout!

Jess Decker is very enthusiastic and organized!! She always has the equipment ready for class to make transitions efficient! She gives great feedback and encouragement.

Gina is an amazing coach!! I truly feel like she cares about me as an athlete and goes out of her way to make sure I have everything I need and that my scaling options are appropriate! She is very knowledgeable about the movements and is great at giving cues and feedback that help me understand how to be better! Thanks Gina ❤️

Visiting Gainesville, we dropped in a class at Leeds with Coach Gina. She made us feel right at home, gave us good constructive coaching, and kept us safe!

Gina is amazing! She is great at modifying the workouts to my ability. She pushes me to do more even when I don’t want to. She does a great job of making sure everyones mechanics are correct.

Brent was very welcoming, I was greeted as soon as I walked in looking like a lost puppy! Had a great workout, clear instructions on how to do everything, would highly recommend for newbies!

Coach Brent and all the coaches at CrossFit Lead will make sure that your workout is the best hour of your day!! The classes are challenging, yet accommodating for every skill level, everyone is encouraging! Highly recommend CrossFit Lead for the professional coaching and welcoming community!

The coach today was Brent. He did a great job demonstrating everything. He explained the workout and its intended focus. Brent checked in with everyone regarding their specific needs/modifications to complete the workout. He cheered and encouraged everyone by name. Great job!!!

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!

Kat is great. She always explains everything thoroughly with demonstrations when applicable. She is approachable with questions and concerns. She does a great job cheering us on during the workout and giving time updates and form checks throughout.

Kat did great. She did a nice job of setting expectations for the workout, explaining how much time each segment would take. She also encouraged us to push it and for everyone to try to run the whole distance of the workout, which I appreciated. I went a little slower than I thought I would be able to, owing to bad muscle fatigue from a workout two days ago, so my heart rate kind of spiked during the workout, but I never felt too much pressure from Kat to push it more than I was able to, and I think that’s a good approach for most of the clientele at our gym. But I also think a little bit of challenge, like asking everyone to do the whole distance, was also needed as I mentioned above. Overall, Kat is encouraging and willing to challenge us, which is a great combination. I also really appreciated some of her form tips which she gave during a workout last week. I’ve been doing CrossFit a long time, but I always have more to learn and I know I have bad form on some movements, so instruction is always really appreciated.

Gina is always on point and got us all smoothly through the WOD! Great energy, time management, and instruction. She was able to get to each of us and go over our game plans! Always a solid class with Gina & she gives the best encouragement to all!
