Did a morning drop-in workout with them while on a work trip. Great community -- very welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental. The instructor -- Gina -- led a great (and hard) class and was very quickly able to help me scale the workout to my fitness level. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

I’ve been doing CrossFit for 10 years and coach Brent is great he’s one of the few coach that works on your form through out the whole class. Great gym community too. If you are dropping in I would go here or if you are moving to the area I would choose this CrossFit gym.

Lead Fitness is a place where you’ll not only get a great workout, but you’ll find yourself a part of a wonderful community. The classes may be smaller than some of the other gyms but that just means you get individualized coaching and make friends quickly. Lead is focused on technique for injury prevention, with attentive and skilled coaches, but Lead also pushes you to do your best. The gym is clean, and the equipment is in great shape. Highly recommend Lead and I’m sad I had to say goodbye as I left the Gainesville area. Go check them out!

Lead Fitness has been the most welcoming Crossfit gym I have ever been to. The coaching is great and the facility is super clean all the time. The community is the best part--young and old, competitive and recreational--everyone gets along and supports each other. The gym has had a number of really nice community events, fun Saturday partner wods, and even have a PT onsite that you can make appointments with. This place rocks.

Joining Lead Fitness was the best decision I made in 2022 — hands down. The coaches are inspiring, supportive, and kind! The Level Method programming at Lead makes challenging yourself fun. I’ve gotten A LOT stronger since I started working out at Lead in August and I notice it in my everyday life. This is a very silly thing point out, but I used to HATE carrying in cases of bottled water after grocery shopping and now it’s easy-peasy. My tennis game has also improved. Even with all this in mind, my very favorite thing about Lead is the community. Everyone is encouraging of each other and that is amazing. Another significant thing about Lead is how approachable the coaches make CrossFit — especially as a woman. Most of my previous workout routines were things like Pilates and barre, so I was super intimidated to try CrossFit because I always considered it a “bro” sport. But another super cool thing about Lead is that most of the coaches are also women! (There are a few bros but they are cool, too.) Anyway, please check out Lead if you are looking for a new gym “home.” You’ll be happy you did.

I have been part of the Lead family for 9 months now and it is easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. The coaches and professional, encouraging, and kind, the equipment is great, the facility is clean and convenient...but the piece that makes Lead truly special is the members. You will never meet a more welcoming group of people to accompany you on your fitness journey. Lead Fitness is my happy place and I'm so happy to call it my fitness home.

Jessie and her team are absolutely wonderful. I had not been working out for many years and she is able to individualize my exercises even during group classes in a way that I can get the best of it for my own level. On top of it, I have a son diagnosed with severe autism and if you have a child with a disability, Jessie is your coach. She is able to presume competence, and treat my son as a normal person which lead him to love, respect and work with her better than he may had done with PhDs in the field of special needs. Jessie understands the concepts of RPM and S2C, she was able to communicate with my son from day one, she just has it in her, we absolutely recommend LEAD.

I loved Lead and the Lead staff. They really take the time to make the weekly wods a cohesive program and it gives you the feeling of having some control over your training. In other CrossFit boxes, the programming always seemed almost random where at Lead they give explanations into what you should expect, why these movements were programmed, how your performance should be, etc. this is a great CrossFit for people who want to try CrossFit but may be intimidated. It's also great for the experienced CrossFitter because you can easily track your improvement and maybe see where in your training your weak. The people at Lead are also great and Lead has done a great job of creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. Just truly a great place!

Jessie was super helpful and accommodating both before and during my drop in. The athletes were kind and welcoming as well, and the workout was kick butt. If I'm in the area again I'll drop back in.
