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.

CrossFit Liberate is my second home. It’s not just a gym. It’s a community. Everyday the coaches & my fellow members push me to be 1% better. Form & technique is highly valued & constantly coached. All the classes are high energy, fun, and music is a vibe. I am so much stronger than when I joined three years ago. I feel empowered to lift heavy & yet new skills. I love the all the events! Love love love my gym family at CrossFit Liberate!

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!

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.

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 ❤️

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.

14 years of CrossFit and membership at several gyms in various locations. This gym offers great coaching, good class times, and childcare. I highly recommend, it also is convenient if you’re looking to drop in while visiting Athens as well.

I have truly loved my time here!

I've been going here for almost 2 years now and I've enjoyed every second. The coaches and members are all super supportive and encouraging. Josh and Alli do a great job owning and managing the gym, props to them for always putting on great events. Also Bosco is cute.
