If you are looking for a gym full of ladies with perfect makeup live streaming in IG or dudes admiring themselves in the mirror, this is definitely NOT your place. However, if you want a rock-solid workout with coaches who will push you to do more than you believe you can, and who genuinely care how you are doing, this is likely your jam.

OxFit truly is more than a gym. Not only do you get great coaching, programming, and encouragement to meet your health and fitness goals, but you get a fantastic community that cares about you and what's important to you. If you live in Atlanta you need to check it out. Whatever fitness level and whatever fitness goals, OxFit can help you get where you want to be all the while welcoming you into a great community beyond the gym.

The coaches at Oxfit care. It shows through the quality of the workouts and the fitness focused people you will meet. Join and it will be good for you.
This review is coming from someone who historically has been a runner and did not know their way around a gym. The folks here teach from the moment you join. You'll fit right in and learn the ropes in no time.

I've been to quite a few Crossfit gyms in Atlanta. They all offer something different but OxFit had the missing piece to my fitness puzzle which was a community inside and outside the gym. I'm constantly motivated to show up because my day isn't complete without my #fitfam

Oxfit is probably the best CrossFit in Atlanta. The owners and trainers are some of the nicest, humble, and most experienced people around. The other thing that differentiates the gym is the sense of community - you know everyone and are encouraged to form a bond and community. The classes are intense and the results show for itself. Highly recommend!

Joined a few weeks ago and I'm so happy that I did. The gym is clean and the workouts are challenging and motivating. But the best part is that the sense of community with everyone there is amazing! It's totally not just a gym!

OxFit (Crossfit Grant Street) is seriously the Cheers of Crossfit gyms. Everybody knows your name! Unless they don't and then you do burpees. ;) My wife and I haven't been members very long but we've already come to love the community that Ant and Lauren have built. No, it really is a community. If you are just looking for a place to come and workout, not talk to anyone and go home it's probably not going to be a great fit. However, if you are looking for an awesome #fitfam with great people, attentive coaches, lots of laughs, free coffee, dinners out, long walks on the beach, new sports, great programing, small classes, competitions/challenges, and just the best workout all around then you need to come in and talk to Ant and Lauren. They care about their members and it shows. I've been Crossfitting for 6 years and I've been to other gyms where you just feel like another body in the room. It's so refreshing to walk in to OxFit everyday and feel like you are a part of something bigger. Ant and Lauren take so much pride in their business. I can't imagine being anywhere else. OxFit is definitely #notjustagym

When I moved to Atlanta from out of state I left a gym with a great community and struggled for over a year to find another CrossFit gym with that same focus. I feel so lucky to have found CrossFit grant street, the community that Ant and Lauren have built is amazing and the positive energy and passion they have is contagious.

Hard working owners that have assembled a friendly collection of people that love getting sweaty! Definitely check them out.

I'm not new to Crossfit, but super excited to find such a welcoming gym right in our very own neighborhood! Lauren and Ant are not just great coaches, they're working hard to build both a gym and a community of supportive people. I've been pleased to find a variety of different types of people and fitness levels, as well as an understanding and encouraging place to workout. A great addition to the Grant Park Community.

Bitter disappointment is what my experience with this organization has left me with.
From a young age, I've often been put in the role of outcast, viciously teased by peers in elementary school and left with deep anxiety about reaching out to others and trying to make connections. While not particularly athletic before college, at college I joined the rowing team and pursued an interest in other athletics including martial arts.
At 18 I had my first seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy. Others followed and they left me with shortcomings in my memory. Drugs to treat epilepsy often have profound psychological side-effects leaving me unmotivated, with a flat affect, and prone to moods. They also sometimes leave one with physical effects and after leaving college I gained a great deal of weight.
In 2009, I re-discovered a passion for fitness via crossfit and pursued it with zeal. I acquired several certifications in Crossfit as an instructor and pursued training in coaching in other areas of weightlifting. As time passed, i moved gyms a couple of times but continued to pursue high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and added a passion for competitive powerlifting. About a year ago, several blood clots in my right leg left me hospitalized and unable to work-out.
Once the pain subsided enough for me to workout, I tried to regain some lost fitness. I rowed at home, but was recently delighted to discover Grant Street Crossfit so close to my house. I was eager to workout here, even though I struggled still with my pain in my leg.
After completing some preliminary one-on-one workshops, I attended my first group class today. I was optimistic about regaining the level of fitness I onced enjoy when doing HIIT. The class was a struggle, as pain in my leg that had become infrequent flared up. But I stayed the course and was happy with my performance.
That wasn't enough for the owners at Grant Street. After my class was done, Ant pulled me aside and informed me I was insufficiently friendly to be part of his community. My awkwardness, my lack of affect, the anxiety I have around others who already know each other well: Ant Oxley and his wife Lauren didn't want it in their gym. He let me know he didn't want me there and made it clear my time was over.
Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones that get to be part of the clique that is being built at Crossfit Grant Street. The Ubermensch as it were... but if you are like me, part of the 'bungled and the botched' there is probably no place for you here. There is only disdain for those who don't fit in.
You'll find reasonably informed but not particularly exceptional coaching in HIIT if you do venture here. For me the primary motivator was proximity, as I know that Atlanta has many phenomenal coaches in HIIT.
Those coaches are distant and Grant Street was close. Equipment is adequate but sparse for a gym that has been around for a year. However, that won't matter if you don't fit in right from the start. The philosophy here is to build a wall around the gym and try to keep the "bad" people out rather than taking on the challenge of building a community that is accepting and lifts people up.
