"Great gym, great people. In addition to being ridiculously hilarious, Amanda is probably the best personal trainer in Cumming. Actually, the state of Georgia. I came to her with an injury and specific needs for my training. She effortlessly put together programming that respected my limitations while still challenging me. She is patient, encouraging, and her cues are on point. If you're shopping for a trainer in North Forsyth, do yourself a favor and work with her!"

"I've always been someone who worked out regularly, but I had never tried CrossFit before joining this gym. It's been one of the best fitness decisions I've made. The workouts challenge you physically and mentally, and getting the opportunity to compete in local competitions has made it even more fun.

What stands out the most is the community. The environment is incredibly positive and supportive. Everyone encourages each other and pushes one another to be better, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

Great coaching, great people, and a great place to push yourself!"

"I have never done CrossFit even though I have worked out for years. This gym is not intimidating and the coaching really helped me with form on movements I do not know how to do. Super fun environment too."

"I've been going to CF Lanier since May and it's changed my life. I had a fitness background, but I was brand new to CrossFit and came in nervous not knowing anyone, any movements and feeling completely out of my element. After my first class I was completely hooked. The coaches were extremely supportive and within 5 minutes I could tell it was so much more than a gym, it was a family that welcomed me in with open arms.

Since I joined, I'm not only in the best physical shape of my life, but the best mental. I wake up every day excited to go work out and see my friends and walk out the door ready to go in the next day. This gym feels like home, my support system, my happy place. I went from a post-partum mom trying to figure out fitness to a girl always excited and geared up for my next competition. I'll always recommend CF Lanier to anyone and everyone — fit or not, because it truly is the place for everyone."

"I've been doing personal training sessions at CrossFit Lanier since May 2024 and I couldn't be happier with my experience! All the coaches are fantastic and knowledgeable, especially coach Amanda.

I am managing an old back injury and all the coaches' focus on proper form and individualized attention has helped me train confidently and comfortably without risking reinjuring myself; the coaches know when to push me but also when to reel me in when I get a little too ambitious.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a novice, if you're looking for knowledgeable coaches, a great environment, and a community that genuinely cares about your progress and well-being, I highly recommend CrossFit Lanier!"

"It's been close to 3 years since I joined CrossFit Lanier. Although I felt it was hard going for the initial couple of weeks, now it has become an addiction for me. It's one of the best CrossFit training gyms I have ever visited. If I miss going to CFL for whatever reason, I don't feel comfortable for the rest of the day."

"My husband and I were in town visiting family and we found CrossFit Lanier close to the house. We dropped in 3 times during the week here. The coaching staff is fantastic and the vibe of the gym is fun and welcoming! Amanda was excellent at communicating and getting us signed up for class. So glad to find a box for when we come to town!"

"I have been at CFL for almost a year and cannot say enough good things about this gym or recommend it enough! Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. Amanda, the owner, and other coaches truly care about you. Amanda has personally reached out to me just to make sure I'm okay if she's noticed I haven't been there. The coaches and members are so encouraging and are the first to celebrate your successes!"

"I started CrossFit here in October 2024 and it has been tough but seriously rewarding. The thing I love most about this place is the people. Everyone is genuinely friendly, encouraging, and fun. It's a real reflection of Amanda who owns the gym and is also an incredible coach.

The workouts will push you but the environment is so supportive and positive it makes all the difference. Head Coach Mike and the rest of the team are also excellent instructors. They focus on getting your form right before increasing weight which makes a huge difference.

My wife does personal training here and my 83 year old dad even has private sessions with Amanda. That says it all really. This place is for anyone willing to put in the work. Great people. Great coaching. Great results."

"Joining CrossFit Lanier has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health and fitness. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by an amazing community that truly feels like family.

The coaches at CrossFit Lanier are top-notch — knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly motivating. They take the time to ensure proper form, offer personalized modifications, and push you to reach your full potential without compromising safety.

But what really sets CrossFit Lanier apart are the results. I've become stronger, more confident, and more capable than I ever thought possible — and I owe that to the coaches, the programming, and the incredible community."

"I can't say enough great things about this CrossFit gym and its owner, Amanda. From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming, motivating, and supportive — whether you're brand new or a seasoned athlete. Amanda's energy is contagious, and her passion for fitness and community shines through in everything she does.

She's not just a coach — she's a leader who genuinely cares about each member's progress and well-being. Thanks to CrossFit Lanier coaches, I've hit personal goals I never thought possible and actually look forward to every workout.

If you're looking for a place that builds both strength and confidence, this gym is it. Highly recommend."

"Everyone here is super friendly and the community feels like family. I came here for about 4 months while my family was traveling for work, and they welcomed me in with open arms. The coaches have given me so much confidence and showed me that I am more capable than I thought. I have done movements I never thought I'd be able to do!"

"Absolutely love Crossfit Lanier! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the supportive community and knowledgeable coaches. The workouts are challenging yet fun, pushing me to my limits while ensuring proper form and technique. The variety of classes keeps things fresh, and I appreciate the emphasis on both strength and conditioning. The facilities are top-notch, always clean and well-maintained.

"This is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. First of all, it's all about the atmosphere here which keeps you motivated a lot. People here are supportive, welcoming and motivate you in achieving your goals. Amanda (owner) and the other coaches are knowledgeable and always encourage. I have been to other gyms lately but missing this atmosphere. This is purely an extended family. I do recommend 10/10."

"What an amazing and welcoming CF gym! This is my new home away from home when visiting GA. I spent a full month working remotely while in town for family and I was welcomed the moment I walked in the door with an inclusive atmosphere and challenging programming. Coach Amanda (owner) and her additional coaches are exceptional, helpful, and encouraging. They create an amazing culture, the members reciprocate, and I am thankful to have been able to continue my routine flawlessly and build additional CF fam connections!! 10/10, hands down, do recommend!"
