The manager at my other gym mentioned that they were opening this one up here in downtown Lawrenceville. Planet fitness for the longest time has gotten a rep for not quite measuring up to the gym experience of other well-known popular gyms. Well I'm here to tell you as a person that's worked out at several gyms in my life. I am loving the investment that the group that owns these particular franchises have made in a better consumer experience. Every time I step into the gym it's extremely clean and because it's so new I never have any problems getting to a machine. Anytime my family and I come in for a workout. What I love most is that this location is one of only a few that actually have turf that is going to be installed for any individuals that like to do push-pull workouts like I do To buy a black card membership is an absolute steal if you can get it for $20 a month which they had a promotion for presale that I was able to catch. And I'm extremely happy that this location is here. Of course they have all of the normal planet fitness amenities such as the Black card, spa, showers, lockers. The closest gym in the area that is similar to this one is crunch fitness and I like this gym a lot better because fortunately crunch fitness and LA fitness which are both in the vicinity are often crowded with 20-year-olds and their need to film their entire workout on a selfie stick, which I've almost tripped over a few times. None of that is taking place at this gym. You can get in, put in work, get out

He is a kinesiologist, a coach, and is a walking encyclopedia of well researched and documented health information. And while he comes from a professional athlete background, his approach is not cocky or intimidating (for those of us that are not professional athletes). His thoroughness in his intake and evaluation process is something like I have not experienced before. He knows his stuff and is an absolute pleasure to work with.

I found Lee Snell while searching for a gym to join on Yelp. Urban Body Fitness is a great little…read moregym located on the park and on the belt line , is one block from where I live and is also where Lee trains. The gym website has a link to Lee's home page ( Leesnell.com) . After reading his profile I knew he would be perfect to get me back in shape after being a couch potato for the past 5 years and just shy of my 50th birthday. I was right, I just completed two months of training with Lee....I feel better and look better! After a few sessions it felt as though I was working out with a friend ! Lee is very personable and great at what he does and knows how to push you without injuring you. He is always concerned about how you are doing during the workout and will adjust the workout accordingly- this isn't to say he lets you run the show....he just wants you to get there with out the injury and without dreading coming back to the gym. I highly recommend Lee if your looking for a trainer!!

Hunter has always communicated with me over the years and although I've never committed to Crossfit 404 he's always been there regardless to answer any questions I may have. The only reason we choose to become members of our current Box over 404 is because over a year ago when we were looking at the best fit for us was because at 404 there was only a 7am & 12pm class that we were interested in. NOW, 404 has a 8am & still has the 12pm which has made it super appealing! Crossfit 404 is nestled conveniently smack dead center of Buckhead and super convenient! We like that we can jump into this location without allowing our head to play games on us because of our current location we are members at being so far away with the Atlanta traffic! The inside of the gym is very clean and equipment is labeled with no confusion as to where it goes! They have coffee, shakes, food, sitting area, phone charging decks and they are pet friendly! I'm posting a pic of the WOD we partook in and also what my calories burned being 1,080 were. Insane! We did have to run in the rain this day and also had to do rope climbs which we have hardly ever practiced. My shoes were wet so I had to chalk up to keep from face planting the ground from the slip and slide. Coming into 2018 we have some major considerations as to if we are going to make this our home. We love it here and can't wait to be back!

I do really love this gym and feel that it has grown into quite a home. I have been fortunate to…read morenot had too many bad CrossFit box experiences across the various places I've lived, but 404 is special and I'm happy to be part of the community. Onboarding was super easy, Hunter set me up with a week's trial period to test out if I liked it and everything was smooth sailing from there. The insides: The gym is clean, maintained, and conveniently located with lots of parking in the back. The equipment is practically never broken and the community is good about cleaning up after itself and keeping it neat looking. The programming: There's a ton of variety at this gym, seven regular CrossFit class time options during the week, three on Saturday and a Sunday WOD; an option for 'misfits', for those who are not looking to engage in as intense a program as CrossFit, two sessions of foundations classes, two weekly 'endurance' classes, and a kids program. Bring a friend one of three times a week to the basic classes and get them started. The skills-build rotates in series, meaning, that there will be a focus of building two particular movements slowly to a one rep max over the course of about a month to six weeks. The two movements are complimentary in muscle groups and then complemented with gymnastics movements such as pull-ups, handstand pushups, muscle-ups and double-under rope jumps, etc. The cycle rotate upper body strength with lower body strength so a member doesn't experience the same movement focus on an on-going basis. Lastly, 404 conducts skills workshops periodically and a barbell class every Saturday at 8am to work on specific skills, which I think is awesome. The trainers: All trainers are very knowledgeable at 404, making sure to go over the correct way to perform a movement to stretching and 'afterparty' recovery movements to keep you healthy and from hurting yourself. If you do hurt yourself, they help to ice you down and walk it off if need be. I personally have been hurting myself a whole lot more as I gain in age and stupidly now cannot gauge well what I can (and mostly cannot do anymore - when your mind tells you that you're done with deadlift - do NOT try to pick up 200+ lbs again). The member ages range from early twenty into the fifties and the trainers accommodate and adjust across any skill set. The community engagement: The members at this gym care about getting involved and giving back. Throughout the year 404 will engage in community events: volunteering events at soup kitchens, fundraisers for various causes, social media give-away contests, and holiday WOD and some parties (bowling and boating anyone?). Additionally, the gym is dog friendly, so bring your four legged friends along.

Was ready to give up hope. Something told me to try again, was able to get in contact with a trainer (Charles), and schedule a training session. Started off with determining how unhealthy and big I was , (was pretty big and pudgy), and they encouraged me and let me know that there was room for improvement. I. Was assigned to work with Khendal, the other trainer there, and over the last few months, she and Charles have worked diligently for me to form my ideal body. (Luke Cage baby!) I'm stronger, uh... maybe faster, and my stamina has increased. Definitely can lift more than on day one. To throw in a tip, nutrition is a huge part of working out. If you work out and eat an entire cake after, you aren't making progress and feeding you muscles what they crave. Protein. Lots and lots of protein. This gym does cost a pretty penny, but the support and the desire to become your best self and be fit and healthy is there. Thus, gotta give them 5 stars.
