Highly recommend Equilibrium!! Truly a life changing studio!…read more Paola is the most passionate person I have ever met and cares so much about the success of her students inside and outside of the studio. She is highly trained and holds multiple high level certifications through BASI for Pilates, but also has a background involving physical therapy. The combination of both makes her knowledge and ability to instruct any type of person/body, no matter their fitness level/background, unmatched. I started at Equilibrium in January 2025 at 6 months post-partum and the last fitness activity being in my high school days over 10 years ago. I appreciate her slow, focused approach to getting you started, as you'll always start with several one-on-one private classes to prepare you before you move into groups. I felt so much more confident in the group setting because of this! Group reformer & tower classes typically have 3 students, with an absolute max of 4. I also love this because she can still pay very close attention to all students in the class and provide individual corrections as needed. Paola is amazing, but she also has the highest of high standards for her facility and any staff. I know from experience that any of the other instructors on staff are highly trained and follow the same methods and teaching styles as Paola, so you really cannot go wrong with taking classes with anyone at Equilibrium.

I've been seeking treatment for my lower back for years and was told by other physician there was nothing I could do. Steve took a look at me and performed a dry needling technique and cupping that was a great success. He also gave me tips on how to sit at work and change around my work station. It took a few days and I can honestly say back tightens is no longer an issue for me and I'm grateful Steve not only treated me but educated me on what was taking place. Great experience I'd recommend his practice to anyone tired of dealing with day to day pain.

I've lived all over the country and have done Crossfit off and on for years. I relocated back to…read morethis area & joined a "normal" gym. It was overcrowded & I was constantly waiting for machines. I then tried their group fitness weight training class & the coaches/trainers were not engaged or motivating. THEN, I found Crossfit Oconee and I'm so glad! I tried the free trial just to see if I still had it in me. I won't lie, it was HARD & I was super sore but it left me wanting more. I was super impressed with how welcoming the community was. The athletes introduced themselves & I felt very welcomed. There are a good mix of people and fitness levels there so if you're a newbie - believe in yourself & stick with it. They offer a one on one class for new members to go over the movements & form. You will also get access to the Wodify app which shows you the daily workouts with videos so you can be prepared & practice your movements at home. The During the actual workouts they have more than one coach roaming the gym to offer you help on your form. They will offer you alternative movements if you can't do handstand walks or handstand pushups. The fellow athletes are very inspiring. Every one I've met has said "I stared 6 months or a year ago..." They look amazing too. The gym itself it top notch with the best equipment and it's kept clean. This is hands-down the best CF gym I've been been to and I started off at the original box in San Diego. It may seem pricey but the coaches really are creme de la creme & always make me feel inspired & motivated. I paid the same for a personal trainer & this is way better. They also offer nutrition coaching & serve as a pick-up location for a local meal prep service. Another athlete spoke highly of the nutrition coaching so I may give it a try. The sign up process was simple & easy. The gal at the front desk was super sweet & you get a nice cup & CFO T shirt when you join. They really have a good thing going!!

I started attending classes at Crossfit Oconee in July 2017. I had just turned 41 years old and…read morereally thought that "being in shape" had passed me by. Sure, I worked out every now and then at a big box corporate gym, but never saw any progress whatsoever. So yeah, let's just say I felt like a lot of husbands, dads and professionals out there. Same goes for the wives and moms, you know what I'm talking about. The ones who can't run a mile without keeling over in pain but rationalizes it as being over the hill. The ones who can knock out 20 pushups but inside are questioning why that is so hard. I could go on, but I digress. Payton Owens, the owner of Crossfit Oconee (CFO) is very personable and caring and so are the other coaches who run the classes. However, you get out of it what you put into it. First off, it's hard showing up to a gym, moreover a Crossfit gym as that out of shape dad or mom. But engage with the other gym members, scale your workouts to develop confidence, proper form, strength and endurance and your experience will probably be similar to mine, which is a great one. I'm now entering my 16th month as a CFO athlete (yes, they refer to members as athletes and I like that). When I think back to those first few weeks and even months, I remember how hard it was to complete a workout. But I scaled when needed and just kept showing up. Now, I feel proud and fulfilled - like I've taken my life and fitness back from the years of #dadbod and feeling weak. Not to mention my nutrition and overall physical wellbeing has improved dramatically. Am I where I want to be physically? No way, not even close. Now, I keep wanting to hit a new strength goal or endurance goal. (Isn't that how it should be?) But, it's a lifestyle and mindset change when you go to Crossfit. How many times did you do power cleans or farmer's carries at your box box gym? My overall strength and core strength compared to how I was 16 months ago is 1000 times improved. I have energy for days and my clothes have never fit or looked better while I'm wearing them. Give CFO a chance if you're in the Athens/Watkinsville area. But remember, it's a two-way street. You get out of it what you put into it. That goes for attitude, willingness to learn, asking questions, doing workouts that make you feel like you're going to fall over, etc. And, I say that regarding the couple of negative reviews seen here on Yelp. Come in with a positive attitude and don't be nervous to ask questions or to meet people. It's okay to feel intimidated for the first few trips. I know I did. None of the instructors or fellow CFO athletes have ever made me feel marginalized. As for it being kid-friendly? Sure, it's kid-friendly. I bring my kids with me from time to time, but it's not a nursery. Take a pack n play and put them in there, bring an iPad and have them watch a movie if they're small or get a babysitter for your kids and then go workout. If they're a bit older like mine. Tell them to not act a fool and if they act right you'll take them to Dunkin' Donuts afterwards (but only the kids can have the donuts, not you :)

Most gyms this time of year are laden with crowds, equipment either slammed or unavailable, and a cattle herd feel. At R. Harold Harrison, the crowd is smaller, people are kinder, and your experience is focused on health, getting a good workout, and excellent opportunities for classes, strength building, and fitness. Class offerings range from popular zumba and yoga to strength training, Chair Zen, and Fit Pump. Activity groups include basketball, and pickle ball. Something for entire family. In addition, Child care is available and the timing of classes and hours of operation fit with any schedule. The center is operated as a ministry so there is some faith and fellowship interwoven and that adds to the great character and genuine welcome you receive when attending. Memberships are reasonable for single, family, and just classes.
