Now to say I was a bit apprehensive on my way here would be an understatement. I have not been…read moreinside a Crossfit facility (aka, Box) or even did a solid workout (more than 30 minutes) in almost a year. Then I decided to take advantage of the 3 free visits* and get back on track. My hip hop blaring, my water bottle full, small towel folded and ready for sweat I rolled in on a Monday evening. As a point of reference for location, it is about 14 minutes from downtown Augusta if traffic is good. You will see that the front of the building belongs to a ministry, which leaves their additional parking open except on Wednesday nights. You won't be able to miss the sound of grunting, weights bouncing off the floor, and music getting your heart rate up. As I walked in, one of the trainers introduced himself and shared how the process would go (online paperwork, warm ups, workout). Another trainer aided me with the warm up, as I wasn't sure what all the terms were. They both did an excellent job of describing the terminology and not making me feel out of place for having to ask. To be honest, I was worn out by the time the workout began. The primary trainer for the session had me take it easy and we focused on the methods of each exercise more so than how many reps I could do. It was nice to have the experience of a work out without being flung into it unprepared. By the end of the session, everyone had introduced themselves and said they hoped I came back. Between the gasps of air and constant wiping of sweat, I told them I would. That night I slept like I haven't in a long time. This is a good place with good people who are encouraging and patient and inclusive with their workout sessions. If you have questions or fears about Crossfit, come here. They will make you feel at home. I look forward to my next visit. *Be sure to visit the website and see the instructions for the 3 free visits. You will need to arrive early (to fill out the online paperwork). Also, they try to have an extra trainer on hand to be there one-on-one through the workout for you. No agreements or credit card numbers, just an honest no-strings attached 3 free visits.

Staff our friendly and helpful, and nice that they are not pushy like some gyms. You don't necessarily have a trainer to help, but they will assist with basics when asked. The yoga class is good, and they have a array of Les Mills classes. I have only done body pump and it was really good. They also do a "team lean" competition each year for the whole community. So definitely like all the community outreach they do with classes and fairs etc. The gym itself is older, so parts are worn down. But they have renovated most of it so I feel like it is good shape. There is a pool so that is added plus too. I hate pushy gyms (i.e. Gold's) so I will always support a local owned gym or a Y. I think Augusta has a good system of YMCAs across the city so worth checking out.

It's honestly a little confusing, when you first walk in because Gold's Gym generally has yellow…read moreequipment. You would think it wouldn't be a big deal, but red everything is a little off-putting, in my opinion. It's almost like this gym used to be an independent that got bought out by a Gold's, but didn't receive the memo that they got bought out and kept all of the old equipment and color themes. HUGE plus side, not to feed into the stereotype that Asians love saunas, but there is a SAUNA. That bumped this place up from a 2 to a 3 star. I have Anytime Fitness, Planet Fitness, and Gold's Gym memberships. Why? I don't know, I guess I am a health nut that is afraid of getting fat. I would only come here to use the sauna. The equipment is alright at best and could probably use maintenance and general sprucing up. When I walked in, there was about 6 or 7 staff members in the rotunda milling around, but none of them seemed like they wanted to do anything. To scan my card, three girls looked at each other for a hot minute before one of them kind of slumped her shoulders down and walked over to scan me in. I guess, she lost their imaginary game of nose goes.

But I wondered, is it worth the fact that it's free? Let me assure you, it is. You walk in to find cardio, and upper body machines (as well as a ping pong table). To the right are two basketball courts and free weights room. Straight ahead are the locker rooms. And upstairs, indoor running/walking track as well as more machines. It is clean, kept up, and offers a good variety of equipment. I also am glad for the option of trading my ID in for a locker key while I'm there. *Insider's Tip -The bike machines have a water bottle holder as well as a dock for phone/other devices. -There is a water bottle fill up station by the stair case. -They offer yoga and a host of other classes throughout the week (and at various times). It changes monthly so be sure to stay updated.

I am originally from south Florida and attending classes at oxygen has made Augusta feel more like home. I took my first class in October 2020 and since then I have lost 25 lbs. I highly recommend trying different classes and different instructors - they all bring a different experience to each workout. My mental health is so much better when I'm working out at oxygen regularly. I can really tell how I feel when I stop making it a priority.

The bathrooms are always kept well maintained compared to others I've been to where on numerous occasions there were no soap left in the dispenser or paper towels were out leaving us to use the air dryer. Planet fitness is known for their lighting and you can get some great post workout pump pictures here. Fantastic lighting in the locker room or in front of the pull down machines. Wrightsboro Road location also isn't as packed and with minimum wait time. I've been coming here the last two weeks and never had an issue. They are however not truly 24 hrs.
