Welcome to Athens GA’s CrossFit South, the city’s newest CrossFit affiliate! Here at CFS, we prepare for the unknown and the unknowable through constantly varied, high-intensity functional movements. A functional movement is one that carries over into our everyday lives.

How often do you get out of a chair each day? That’s doing a squat. Or maybe you have to pick something up off the ground: a deadlift. Each time you pick your kid up and bring him up to your chest for a hug, that’s basically doing a clean!

At CrossFit South, we want to make you better at everything, and we do that by addressing each of the ten domains of fitness: speed, strength, cardiorespiratory endurance, power, flexibility, balance, coordination, accuracy, stamina, and agility.

We work on all of these domains every week, but we devote more time to some than others: it will take a lot more time and effort to increase one’s strength than to improve accuracy. At CrossFit South, we believe that the quality of our coaching is the best in Athens.

Anyone can open a CrossFit gym and call themselves a coach, but at CFS we believe in pursuing virtuosity and continuing education. We attend seminars and are constantly seeking new information and learning from each other. The world of fitness is constantly evolving and we aim to stay ahead of the curve.

What can I say, I wish I started here a long time ago. From day 1 at Crossfit South, I have been walked though all the movements and encouraged all the way! Every session has pushed me to the limit of what I think I can handle, and then some. I am getting fitter and stronger every day. Best decision I have ever made. Thanks guys!!!

I have been an avid CrossFit Souther since December 2012, it has become the best addiction EVER! Justin and Keras are two of the most passionate and talented coaches I have ever had the pleasure of working with! They have taken the time and effort to educate themselves on all things CrossFit and the variety of certificates on the wall are hard-proof of their devotion to the “sport of fitness”! I recently was able to convince my boyfriend to join me in the pursuit of getting totally fit, he LOVES it!

CrossFit South has not only given me a new fitness philosophy, but it is also strengthening my relationship! Everyone is super open and helpful, encouraging you on those days when you need it most and cheering you on as you finish tough WODS! They really have become some of my closest friends! You owe it to yourself to come out and give CrossFit South a try, it’ll change your body and your LIFE!!

I started at CrossFit South about a year ago and never looked back. I cannot say enough good things about this gym. The coaches are highly skilled and knowledgeable, as well as always being there to encourage and challenge you. From the first day I walked in, I was welcomed by everyone and didn’t feel the least bit intimidated. I have now made some amazing friends who are always there to push me when I can’t push myself anymore. CrossFit is for anyone! It doesn’t matter if you’re in shape right now or not; a huge macho man or a petite woman. I encourage you to come out to CrossFit South and give it a shot! You’ve got the most supportive staff and fellow athletes waiting to cheer you on!
