CrossFit® Ho'ola: Opinions

Fantastic experience: It feels like CrossFit Ho’ola has supercharged my fitness routine, getting better workouts than I could ever attempt to plan on my own. I was lifting at a traditional gym and running most days in the week, and I feel that this has helped me significantly accelerate whatever growth I may have been having. I was brand new to so many of the types of movements, and there was only positive support for me to learn and grow without pressure to do more in risk of injury. Kekai is an incredible coach and has established a welcoming culture for everyone!
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out, learn, make friends and get stronger!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a supportive coaching staff and one of the cleanest CrossFit boxes we have ever been in. The owners put the community first and have created a tight knit gathering of likeminded individuals.
Thank you for the fantastic review, Nicole! We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate our coaching staff and the atmosphere we've created. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing to foster this wonderful community!
Fantastic experience: I love everything about this place. The coaches and community are amazing. I have been a member since 2019 and honestly cant imagine going anywhere else. When I first started, I was new to CrossFit. Like many people I was intimidated by such a demanding sport. But with the help of coaches and community it has changed every aspect of my life.
Thank you for your heartfelt review, Miriam! We're thrilled to hear how much you love our community and coaching. Your journey since 2019 is an inspiration, and we're grateful to have you as a member. We're here to support you every step of the way!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to CrossFit Ho’ola for the past five years. We have moved houses to a place further away but I continue to go to this gym because of the community they have in every class. Every class has a welcoming coach and wonderful members that are all working to build a better version of yourself. I love my 5:30am crew and the friendships I have been able to build over the last five years.
Thank you for your incredible review, Taylor! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with our community over the past five years. It’s wonderful to know that our coaches and members have made such a positive impact on your fitness journey. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to seeing you in class!
Fantastic experience: I've been at Crossfit Ho'ola for 3 years now, and it's been the best gym experience. Kekai and Lindsay are welcoming and encouraging to everyone who walks in the doors. The coaches always provide modifications that will challenge you, but also make sure you are being safe. The 5:30am class has become like family to me.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Morgan! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with us over the past three years. The sense of community you've found in the 5:30am class is what we aim for, and we're glad our coaches have made a lasting impact. Your support means a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: Had a buddy drag me into the gym to try it two years ago, and I’ve been back 4/5 days a week since. This family run gym is amazing. The coaches are there to help and truly care about your progression. I have gained so much from coming to this gym, from personal weight lifting and performance gains, to some of the coolest and most badass friends that love to get after it every morning at 5:30am.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Garrett! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoy being part of our gym community. It's wonderful to see your commitment and the friendships you've built here. We're here to support your journey every step of the way!
Fantastic experience: I started at CrossFit Ho’ola almost 2 years ago and I’ve never had a negative experience.I regularly attend the 5:30 am class, but I’ve dropped into many of the class times and experienced the same welcoming family atmosphere. They’ve taught me how to lift/train safely which has lead to tremendous progress in my strength and physique. If you’re in the Kennesaw Acworth area, I highly recommend Ho’ola!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Craig! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience over the past two years. Our community thrives on the support and encouragement of members like you. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to help you reach your fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: TL;DR: 10/10 would recommend. Let me start by saying, I’ve never done CrossFit before or had a gym membership outside of my college recreation center (which ended 10 years ago). My fiancé is a personal trainer (at a different gym) & he actually recommended that I try CrossFit Ho’ola after I grew bored working out by myself at home & with the Atlanta Track Club. (Love the ATC, but running is still the worst!) Honestly, I was extremely anxious to walk into a gym, especially a CrossFit gym. I had heard that CrossFit people are intense. However, all that anxiety quickly dissipated at Ho’ola. Kekai, Lindsay, & all of the coaches are phenomenal. As someone who basically knew nothing, they were exceptionally patient & welcoming - even if I asked the same questions class after class after class. Over the past 6 months of being at their gym, I’ve grown stronger & healthier than ever, & I’ve formed some pretty amazing friendships. If you’re new to CrossFit or working out generally or not, I can’t recommend this family of fitness people enough. They will teach you, encourage you, push you to be stronger, & support you when it’s tough. You don’t have to be “in shape” to get started. They will help you reach your goals.
Thank you so much for your detailed and glowing review, Alex! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience with our team at CrossFit Ho'ola. It’s wonderful that you’ve grown stronger and built friendships along the way. Your encouragement to others is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to supporting you on your fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Ho’ola is absolutely amazing! I joined six months ago after moving to a new area and taking a few years off from crossfit, and I immediately loved it here. I am shy and was super nervous on my first day, but I felt welcomed by the owner and the other members from the moment I walked in. This gym is clean, and the vibes are always good. There are people of all ages & skill levels who show up everyday & everyone around you will always try to motivate you. The programming is so much fun. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Stephanie! We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and enjoyed your experience at CrossFit Ho'ola. Our community is what makes our gym special, and we’re glad you’re a part of it. We're looking forward to seeing you continue to thrive with us!
Fantastic experience: A little over a year ago I dropped into Ho'ola to try out a CF gym closer to my home (5 min). A year + later I have moved to Marietta and without hesitation drive the 20 min every morning to remain at Ho'ola! Immediately felt welcomed and joined that day. Everyone is open and welcoming, even as early as the 5:30 am class! Kekai and Lindsay have built an AMAZING community and have made me feel apart of the family. No matter your skill set the coaches work with you to do what is best for your strengths and weaknesses.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Julie! We are thrilled to hear that you feel welcomed and part of our Ho'ola Ohana.

We appreciate your dedication to making the drive and look forward to supporting you on your fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: Super solid gym! When I moved to GA from NC I wasn't sure if I'd find a CrossFit community like the one I had.

Thank you Shane for the 5 Star Review. We love having you a part of our family. Keep up the good work, you are doing great!
Fantastic experience: I initially decided to try CrossFit Ho’ola out of convenience due to their location and proximity to my home. This place is so much more than just a gym (or a ‘box’) though. It’s a great community of people that love CrossFit and the owners truly do care and go above and beyond for everyone. It was my first time trying CrossFit and the owner and coaches took the time to explain the workouts and made sure I understood the movements. If you’re thinking about giving CrossFit a try, or if you’re looking for a new spot, then check them out! You won’t regret it!!
Thank you for the kind words Lauren. Once you join our family you will always be a part of our family. Keep up the good work with your fitness and health!
