I had Athletic Lab on my radar for one year before I finally joined and my only regret is not joining sooner. The facility is big, spacious, and clean. The equipment is top-notch. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. Athletic Lab has given me the opportunity to finally realize my dreams of pursuing competitive Olympic weightlifting. The training is excellent. I've improved more in the 6 months I've been training at AL than in years of training at other gyms. If you're thinking about joining, don't hesitate! No other facility compares.

Have been working out here for almost 7 years, predominantly Crossfit and CrossFit Endurance classes. Good mix of classes for early birds or after work and a few lunch time offerings to most most people's schedule. The main plus is the amount of space and top notch equipment they offer. Plenty of Olympic plates and platforms for lifts, med balls, wall balls, sand-bags. The training offered provides lots of experienced guidance under certified trainers. If you think your gym workout program is working, come try a class here to confirm it.

So almost two years ago I fell in love with Crossfit. There were times I knew it was a one-sided relationship. But I kept pushing through and we worked on our love affair. I even committed to meeting his parents, the competition WODs. Oh we were thriving. Then I got offered a new job out of town. I was for sure that our relationship could weather that storm. Crossfit is everywhere, Omnipotent even.

But this move drove a wedge between us. I couldn't believe it, we were having trouble connecting in our barely 14 mo old relationship. I struggled to find a place where Crossfit and I could be together
