After about nine weeks at Ferris Fitness, I wanted to share my experience. I waited to write this…read morebecause I wanted to give myself enough time to really get to know the gym, the coaches, and the community. Joining has genuinely been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. The coaches are incredible. Austin is the absolute best, but every coach I've worked with has been supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging. They truly care about the people they train. They listen with compassion and empathy, while still challenging you to grow. They also know how to adjust workouts based on your individual needs. The atmosphere is upbeat, welcoming, and fun. The members are wonderful too--everyone encourages one another, celebrates progress, and makes you feel like part of the community. You never feel like you're working out alone. The accountability and nutrition coaching have also made a huge difference. Ferris Fitness is about much more than simply showing up and lifting weights. The coaches help you build sustainable habits and understand the purpose behind what you're doing. Before joining, I felt intimidated by the idea of going to a big-box gym. I worried I would feel judged or out of place. Ferris Fitness has been the complete opposite. I've felt welcomed, supported, and respected from the beginning. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I especially appreciate being in an environment where I can be myself. I feel accepted and respected here. There's nothing pretentious or judgmental about this gym. Everyone is focused on improving themselves and supporting the people around them. If you're considering joining, I highly recommend giving Ferris Fitness a try. You'll find caring coaches, a supportive community, and an environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself.

I've been training with one of the trainers, Micah for over two years, and the results have been incredible. Micah's training approach has helped me build strength, improve my overall fitness, and significantly boost my confidence. I've also achieved noticeable weight loss along the way. Micah's expertise, motivation, and dedication make every session enjoyable and rewarding. I can't recommend Ferris Fitness and Micah enough for anyone looking to transform their fitness journey!

After struggling with recurring pain and mobility issues during certain exercises, I decided to…read moreseek out a professional rather than continue guessing on my own. Chris at Fit In Motion was exactly what I needed. What separates him from other trainers is his focus on mobility and education over just getting your heart rate up and sending you home. He takes the time to understand each client individually, customizes sessions accordingly, and tracks progress along the way. He genuinely teaches you how to train rather than just training you. The gym is well-equipped with machines you won't find at your typical commercial gym, and pricing is flexible with both individual and group options that get better the more sessions you commit to. One practical tip: reach out via text rather than calling. Chris is usually with clients and will get back to you when he's free

Chris stands out because he prioritizes education over workout fads and actually cares about each person's wellbeing. Sessions feel specialized and catered to my specific needs and I never feel neglected. He assesses, customizes, and explains each exercise so you actually understand how to train properly. If you feel discomfort during an exercise he will tell you the best way to approach it, what to change, what to focus on and even ways to continue at home! The facility has specialized equipment as well as massaging equipment for better muscle recovery. Pricing is flexible with private and small group options. I highly recommend Chris!

Been pretty lazy with classpass for months now, but finally found a great gym that got me…read moremotivated. Took hyperdrive class with DJ and it was just the perfect class that I was looking for. Hyperdrive is not as intense as crossfit but similar to HITT class where you do 3 sets of interval exercises that combines boxing, weights, TRX, and more that covers your core, legs, arms, abs, and basically everything. Definitely a fun class but probably more fun after learning what's what. Did feel bad that I was getting lot of help from all the other people that were working out, as well as from the instructor. Lucked out that it was a small class. Interfusion located in the plaza behind El Pollo Campero on Buford Hwy. Sign is a bit hard to see, but you can recognize the purple signage and the shining purple floor when you enter. Not to mention that Desiree, the owner/instructor was waiting for me for a warm welcome outside and was super friendly and helpful. Look forward to more classes here, as they have variety of other types of classes! Bring your towel and water bottle and they have an area where you can store your belongings and refill on water. Cool fact, Atlanta Hawks cheerleaders practice here!

Thanks Interfusion, I'll definitely be back!

This place is awesome. I've never been to gym like this and at first I was quite intimidated and…read moreconcerned that I would be behind or be the only beginner. But they really make you feel comfortable here and teach you how to do things. I joined kick boxing my first time and I was so scared because I've never done it before but there was actually a lot of beginners and it's very easy to follow along. What a great cardio work out and I love to come back! They offer other classes to you too and the staff are extremely friendly! I would highly recommend team octopus if you are looking for a home gym and a place go get in real shape!

This is the one & only place that I truly believe a 5 star rating just isn't enough! Where do I…read morestart.. This may be a long one so buckle up. First and foremost, I am just your average chick in the sense that I do NOT habitually workout, count my calories, meal prep, etc. I did have a membership at LA Fitness for 3 years (2015-2017) but was really only actively using it for 1 year so I finally made the decision to cancel it. I first step foot into this box July 4, 2017 when my boyfriend invited me to come to their post-WOD ("workout of the day") BBQ. I literally only came for the food, sorry! At the time I still held a membership at LA Fitness and had absolutely NO intentions of committing to another gym; Especially not CrossFit. But of course everyone urged me to give it a try and I left that day with the mindset that CrossFit was a cult (lol). [...Fast forward to March 2018 when the 2018 Reebok CrossFit Games were going on...] My boyfriend asked me to come to the box with him every Friday this month to record his WODs and so I did. On the last week of March, he spontaneously bought me a Groupon for their Fundamentals class ($32) and the rest was history... I've never found a fitness program that I enjoyed until I started CrossFit. Reasons why I love this program (and why it works for me): *Your WOD is created for you & released on their app (Wodify) 8PM the night before so you never have to pre-plan before coming. Plus, they're typically only 15-30mins long but it'll get your HR way up there bc of its style of HIIT. *You always work out in groups/classes which is motivating when you feel like stopping mid-workout but everyone around you is still going strong. Everyone is also so welcoming & full of encouragement! *If there is an exercise that you are unable to do, there is always a scaled version of it or some type of exercise you can do to work on those targeted muscles. *There is always a coach present to stretch you out as a group, ensure everyone warms up properly, & guide you throughout the WOD/correct your form if necessary. *They have a great sound system & nothing is better during a workout than music drowning out the sound of your pain. More about the Groupon Deal: Fundamental classes start at the beginning of every month. Classes are MWT @ 7:30PM for the first 4 weeks. You will then graduate to the intermediate class which you will be allowed to attend for the following 2 weeks and decide if you would like to purchase a membership. You get a cool swag bag for joining which includes free monthly body composition analysis at Max Nutrition. More about CrossFit Valitus: Classes are offered 6 days/week (Monday-Saturday) with M-F at 6AM, 7AM, 12PM, 4:30PM, 5:30PM, and 6:30PM and Saturday at 9AM or 10AM. Some Saturdays are partner workouts to which you're more than welcome to bring a friend/family member as long as they're familiar with the WOD's exercises. They're also open on Sundays at 12PM as an open gym so you can come and work on any exercise that needs improvement. Oh, did I mention you get access to Dynamo's Swim Club!? Lastly, there are currently 4 coaches and every single one of them is awesome in their own way. *Crystal--The owner and awesome fundamentals instructor *Art--The head coach who's great at making sure you're stretched out for you WOD and trains our triathlon team *Rene--Beast crossfitter who also holds flexibility and strength training classes a few times a week *Isa--Best WOD DJ and motivator since she Rx's just about every workout (sometimes 2-3x/day!) Whew, that was a long one but I warned you! I know CrossFit may seem intimidating and even scary to the average person but don't knock it till you try it. It's only been a little over 2 months for me and I've already seen changes within my body and PR'd more exercises than I could even count. I'll end off with this quote: "A year from now you will wish you had started today"

It feels great to be able to walk up two flights of stairs without getting out of breath. I've worked hard to gain confidence and health. I've built community, family, and friends, who hold each other accountable. Being overweight can make working out in front of others nerve-wreaking. However, the Kittness community opened me to a no judgment zone. I have no desire to go back to the place (gym or health) I was before I started working out here. There are a variety of classes that include cardio, toning, and sculpting. I started by going once a week for one hour and now I go three times a week for two or three hours taking back to back classes. Soca, Afro-Caribbean, and Cultura are like a dance party! When I'm done with Sculpt&Vibes and Bang I feel like a badass lol! Flags&bumpa and 10-10-10 have helped me tone my arms and thighs. There are so many new classes too that I can't wait to try! The class schedules work great for after work. Instead of stress relieving with cocktails stop by Kittness and relieve that stress!! I'm not a professional dancer but I'll fake it til I make it with no judgement at Kittness. Oh? And did I mention that I have lost 70 lbs since I began working out in January 2019. Thank you Kittwani (the owner) for being amazing!!

This isn't your typical fancy gym with flashy equipment and mirrors everywhere. It's something better--it's a supportive, tight-knit community of fitness enthusiasts who show up for each other every day and push through an intense 45-minute to 1-hour session together. The trainers aren't celebrity icons, but that's the best part. They're real, down-to-earth people who are incredibly fit and deeply knowledgeable about what they do. They motivate, guide, and genuinely care about your progress. If you live in or around the area, joining Stage 3 is honestly a no-brainer. I've got a hectic work life, and this place has become my sanctuary. It's the one hour of the day where I can disconnect, challenge myself, and feel grounded. Big thumbs up from me. Couldn't recommend it more.

Like myself, a lot of Sam's clients are professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.) that want a better quality of life. Sam also helps young (high school and college) athletes gain an edge. Sam is a former D1 scholarship athlete and he has experience building strength, balance, quickness, agility, and flexibility; he helped my son (a lifeguard) get in amazing shape.
