My wife and I have been members at CrossFit Oconee since the Spring of 2018. Under new ownership since the Spring of 2020 (yes, at the beginning of the pandemic), the gym has really flourished. The space is completely renovated, and the equipment & facilities have been updated to the current state of the art. But lots of gyms in the area have nice equipment. What keeps us at CFO is the gym's atmosphere, which is difficult to capture in a few words for an online review. My wife and I have made lifelong friends here. We all show up every afternoon ready to work hard, blow off some steam, laugh a lot, maybe complain a little, and leave a little bit better than how we came in. For those new to CrossFit: the CrossFit Oconee coaches will meet you where you're at, and modify workouts to suit your ability. You will be pushed out of your comfort zone when necessary, but don't be alarmed if a coach takes some weight off your barbell if you're getting ahead of yourself. The staff are very experienced and skilled in gauging a broad spectrum of athletes' abilities. Make no mistake - the workouts are very challenging. But that is exactly why you should be doing them. If you breathe and have a pulse, you should be lifting weights and working up a sweat most days of the week. CFO is the best place in the area to learn how to do that effectively, and maybe have some fun in the process. Come see us! read more

I walked into Crossfit Oconee in Sept 2017 with my then 7 year old daughter. We were familiar with other gym set-ups but had never been inside a crossfit gym. When I walked in I wasn't sure what to think. Payton, the owner, was over in the corner working out and little did I know I was about to meet one of the kindest men and be welcomed into the most encouraging gyms around. In the coming weeks, I would have a 1:1 session with a coach to go over the lifts and have a chance to ask a lot of questions. I had never done this sort of lifting before and so it was very helpful to me to have a session with just a coach and me. After this was done I joined in for a class, I was nervous, BUT I still had the coach with me the whole time. He helped show me what to do and made sure I was lifting safely. The whole class was VERY welcoming and engaging with me. I had finally found the sense of community I was looking for in a gym thanks to Payton and all the great coaches and members. I always look forward to the friends I see and the encouraging atmosphere that is Crossfit Oconee! read more

I've been into working out for 20 years and was always trying to get the body that reflected my dedication. Lifting weights got me strong but I still couldn't achieve the physique I was looking for. Always thought CrossFit was for people that did not want to lift weights. One day I was looking for a change and I decided to give it a shot. Wow I was completely wrong. It's much more of a total body workout plus an easy way to burn calories. The diversity of members from age to level of skill is very broad so anybody could fit in here. You will not be intimidated even if you've never touched a weight before. I was able to achieve the physique I was going for within 8 months. Not just that but I'm more healthier than ever before in my late 40's. Every member there are super friendly and the coaches there to help you every step of the way. The gym is really clean and sanitized by professionals often. read more

There just isn't enough words to explain how amazing this place is. It's not just a gym, it's a family. Every coach and member go above and beyond to make you feel like you belong, and that you CAN do the workouts. When covid hit, the coaches made home videos to ensure that we could still get workouts in even without access to the gym. When we were finally able to reopen, extra safety measures were set in place to make the gym as safe and clean as possible. The coaches, they are the absolute best. They believe in you way more than you believe in yourself. Having a bad day? You won't be once you hang out with them! My self confidence, and the way I view myself is miles apart from where I was a year ago, and that's all thanks to these amazing people. If you're looking for a home away from home, and the best programming a gym has to offer, look no further than Crossfit Oconee! read more

Are you looking for a spot that you walk in feeling like a middle-aged, SUV driving, middle management nobody and walk out feeling like Chuck Norris holding two American flags with a bald eagle on your shoulder while Freebird plays in the background - then this is the gym for you. Learn skills that equate those of Rex Kwon Do; throw weights around like Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 3; become a winner take all beast like Tonya Harden; and create a chiseled, lean body that is the envy of your subdivision pool. If you are ready for people to constantly tell you, "hey, your body is a wonderland," then get in this gym. read more

A great place to work out! I'm a college student who is 3 hours away from home and CFO has become my second family! Not only is it a great community, but it is also a great place to work out. All you have to do is show up! They tell you what to do, and if you can't do it they help you and modify the work out so you can do it. They also have made great accommodations during COVID. They are constantly cleaning and making sure everything is safe! read more

Functional fitness, I have been doing CrossFit going on 7 years and I love it more today than ever. Today arrived a rocking chair approximately 125 pounds for our first grandchild due in January. I had to carry the chair upstairs and it was easy to do because of my Crossfit/ functional fitness training. Family atmosphere, great equipment, great coaches and great instruction is what this gym is all about. read more
