Strive Health & Fitness

Fantastic experience: By far the best CrossFit gym I have ever belonged to! I love Strive not only for its supportive community, but because Coach Jeff’s dedication to proper form, functional movement, and education ensures we train safely, effectively, and continually progress toward greater strength and overall health.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit with this gym/coach for 11-12 years. Coach Jeff Rice has been the best. His knowledge is unbeatable. He takes his work seriously and it shows in the results of his clients. He does personal training as well and is top in his field. I highly recommended Strive to any one of any age. Jeff can customize any workout to fit you. I know because I’m 64 and still going.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with great coaches and great community. Good lift sessions with coaches that know how to lift properly so you don’t hurt yourself. There are also trainers on sight incase you need to work on some mobility as well as showers if your someone that has to head to work immediately after your workout. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Exactly what I’ve been looking for in a workout

Positive experience: Was just l looking for a place to exercise. However, this wasn't the one for me. More heavy-duty lifting and raw movement to build muscle . In my younger days, you would have seen me in a place like this.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Strive for about 6 months now and have never been in better shape! The coaches and other members are all welcoming and friendly, but also constantly give advice on how to more effectively scale workouts or clean up specific movements. If a community environment where you are pushed to be the strongest version of yourself is what you are looking for, then you’ve found your gym with Strive!

Fantastic experience: This is my gym. I typically attend the Canton location and came here for a core fundamentals class. We learned the anatomy, function, and how best to keep a strong core to reduce possible injury. Great info, great people!

Fantastic experience: Best crossfit gym and coach!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching and great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: I originally signed up thinking I would do this crossfit thing for 3 months. Well I'm going on 9 months and looking forward to 2023. Great coaches and its place where everyone encourages everyone.

Fantastic experience: this gym CARES so. much. they care about their members. their lives, their struggles, the ups and downs, and also their health. i feel pushed to do my best every time i walk in here, but never to a point that would compromise my body’s health. they are always watching form, and keeping up with how you’re doing the entire workout to make sure you’re getting the most out of it. i truly feel so strong when i leave every day because of the way they can specifically alter a workout to my body! the coaches here have so much integrity and knowledge and it has made such an impact on my life in so many ways

Fantastic experience: I love the community that is Strive Health & Fitness, and highly recommend them! I appreciate the attention to detail that the coaches and staff pay to their members/athletes. Each person receives individual attention with safety and efficiency of your workout being incredibly important to the coaches. They are truly interested in your success, and will help you reach your goals no matter what your current level of fitness is. In addition to the daily group workouts, Strive Health & Fitness - it's all in their name. If you're looking for Nutrition Coaching or Personal Training - they've got that too! Check them out!

Fantastic experience: I love being a part of the Strive family! All of the coaches are truly fantastic and make you feel at home. I love walking in the door and feeling that the people that work at and attend the gym are truly happy to see me!

Fantastic experience: The coaches at Strive are amazing! Coach Jeff always says “Educate, Demonstrate, Motivate” and this sums up the coaching style of all the coaches! They always work with you to help modify a workout based on your skill level and help give you the confidence to improve.

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for years, and there is no place I’d rather be. Our gym is so welcoming. The staff is so knowledgeable and wants everyone to succeed. I feel like home when I’m there.

Fantastic experience: I was a bit nervous about starting cross fit at 57, but I just completed my onboarding private sessions with Jeff in Canton and am very excited to continue my fitness journey with this group. They're very patient and focus heavily on technique and form to make sure you're doing the exercises the correct way and to prevent injury. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Coaches and environment are amazing. Safe place for any age, fitness level. The BEST!

Fantastic experience: I was always into fitness but due to health issues that lasted 2 years, I had to stop working out. When it was time for me to start getting back into shape I knew I needed more than just "myself" to get me there. I also knew that I need the energy of other to have endurance. My husband has been with this group for almost 5 years and I went to a competition with him. That is when I saw women lifting light weights. I knew then it was more about the effort than the " how heavy". I have now been training with Jeff for 6 months now. He is very careful with how my body responds to doing to much exertion. I have to be very careful as I am healing from major adrenal exhaustion. I feel very safe with this gym and that is why I will continue to put my trust into them! You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Strive in Woodstock for about 3 months now and love it. The staff and members are wonderful. If you’re looking to make a positive change in your life or want to challenge yourself, this is the place for you! Wish I had started years ago!!!

Fantastic experience: I've only had one workout at this gym and I can already tell it's going to be great.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team at Strive! So personable and challenging, but very supportive!

Fantastic experience: When you join Strive you are joining a team that cares as much about your fitness journey as you do. Jeff, the owner, is incredible and wants to learn your story and set you up for success. In coach Jaron I’ve met a coach, mentor and friend. Join Strive today!

Fantastic experience: Signing up with Strive was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My husband was a member for over a year before I joined, and I haven't looked back. The coaching is fantastic and the community is unparalleled. These people truly want you to succeed and be better than you were yesterday. I was worried before I joined that I would hurt myself trying to keep up, but they don't let that happen. They tailor workouts for your fitness level but still keep it challenging. Love this place.

Fantastic experience: I started at Strive Health & Fitness 10 months ago. The difference has been amazing, I'm stronger, lost weight, and sleep better. To me, the tremendous variety is key. I am always working different muscles. Everyone is so encouraging, not only the coaches but also the others working out. I'm 73, so no where near the level of fitness of most of the athletes in the program, but the coaches make sure I have a challenging, fun workout that fits my capabilities and helps me move toward my potential. It's a big family and I feel at home there. Very motivating and supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: You get a great workout at any fitness level, and the coaches are wonderful and the members are very encouraging!

Fantastic experience: personalized attention, the coaches are excellent and very happy to help you achieve your goals. Jessica c.

Fantastic experience: Just started. Going through orientation now. I like the coaches and I think it is going to be a good fit for my goals and my attitude towards lifting. Update: Everyone here is awesome. A true family atmosphere. You will get great results.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and even better people. If you’ve never worked out before, and if you’re wanting to try something new, or to become a better athlete- give them a chance. Totally worth the time and investment, and the coaches are absolutely amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Super fun, challenging and rewarding place to workout. The coaching and community at Strive Health and Fitness are next level, and everyone here is genuinely excited to see you reach your goals while reaching theirs.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at several CrossFit affiliates, one I learned basics, another I continuously got hurt due to coaches pushing me past my limits and skills. At CrossFit Etowah and Cherokee I learned proper form and techniques and I am stronger now than ever. There is a great coaching staff and community at both locations. I am well into my third year with them and no intent of leaving!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely astounding community with excellent programming, nutrition guidance, and all around fun, wholesome people! This is a great place to get fit while having fun!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team to workout with and be a part of.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Etowah is a great gym to get a workout in. I've been to other local Crossfit gyms and this one is by far the best. The coaches are knowledgable, encouraging, and show you proper form/why its super important and they break down each movement. Definitely Recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been bringing my daughter here for nearly 2 years now. The coaches are truly amazing! The community is absolutely encouraging! And the results are real! I can not thank the coaches and members enough for their motivation, wisdom and encouragement in my daughters life.

Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit community around!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to CrossFit Etowah for about 6 months now. I was a little worried about joining up since I’m in my early 40’s and hadn’t been active for many years. The coaches here are great! The workouts are challenging for all fitness levels and there is a big focus on form and proper technique. Every day is something new and exciting. Great gym. Great people. Great results.

Fantastic experience: The coaches and staff are the best! I’ve been going here for years and if you are looking for a hard-working, family atmosphere then this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Awesome coach, awesome folks

Positive experience: Nice medium size gym that is a decent value.

Fantastic experience: Great Coaches and Facilities.

Fantastic experience: Coach Jeff and the team at Crossfit Etowah are really something special. This is NOT the go hard at all cost Box. If you want a well rounded workout, with the proper balance of flexibility, mobility, strength training, and conditioning, this is your home. I wish I could just get in there more often!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place for workout!!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches here and small enough to where you can get to know everyone.

Fantastic experience: I've been a typical meet head busting my but in the gym for years doing exercises with improper form and not getting the results I wanted. The coaches here helped me correct a lot and I have been steadily making gains over the past year. The programming is great to.

Fantastic experience: Excellent box. Dropped in for two days while in town from Chicago and was so glad I did. Very friendly people, great coach and push hard workouts. Would highly recommend to both experienced CrossFitters and people ready to get out of their slumber and get fit. Excellent approach to fitness.

Fantastic experience: Great group of coaches and participants. I have not worked it in over 6 years and everyone made me feel at home. The attached gym with Les Miles classes and childcare really make this a great value.

Fantastic experience: Coaches are awesome!
