CrossFit^® Courageous

Fantastic experience: Great place. Great coaches. Awesome atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Amazing CrossFit facility. Very inviting for a drop in visit. Good coaching and great members. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Courageous is an incredible community! I travel to Knoxville for work several weeks each year with a few colleagues, and every time the staff and members are welcoming and supportive. The coaching and programming are excellent, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re local or just passing through Knoxville, I highly recommend checking out CrossFit Courageous!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in at Crossfit Courageous for a few days while on a business trip - I was blown away by how generous and welcoming all the staff and athletes were during my visit. Zach and crew are running a great gym with a wonderful community. I will definitely be back and would absolutely be there every day if I lived in the area. Thanks CFC!!

Fantastic experience: I had the opportunity to drop in from out of town. Everyone was welcoming and I had a great time. It was easy to sign up online. I will be back next time!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, I was in town for work and needed a good CrossFit gym to get a workout. New building, plenty of room and the coach was knowledgable.

Fantastic experience: Had a great first time at CrossFit Courageous! Really enjoyed the programming, and the coach recognized I was new to the box and was very welcoming. Good folks at the 630 AM class! Looking forward to returning!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with lovely people, seems like a great community. We will be back!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in last minute to complete a workout and record results before the deadline. These folks dropped what they were doing and worked with me to get it done

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about Courageous! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a supportive community and incredible coaches who truly care about my fitness journey. The workouts are challenging but scalable for all levels, and the atmosphere is always energetic and motivating. What sets this gym apart is the sense of camaraderie — everyone pushes each other to be their best while celebrating progress along the way. The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive to form, and always willing to offer guidance and encouragement. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, CrossFit Courageous provides the perfect blend of intensity, support, and fun. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to crush their fitness goals and be part of an inspiring community!

Fantastic experience: When i moved from my home gym in TX, the only gym I've ever been apart of, I was really worried I wouldn't find the quality coaches I was used to or a community as strong, but I definitely found that with Crossfit Courageous! The coaches are great, and hyped to be there. They love their members and everyone is friendly, even to a new comer. Can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Love the place, great Cross fit facility and teachers. The entire community is outstanding.

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome gym! Amazing coaches and great programming to go along with the great people!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym in 2017(?) with some friends while in pharmacy school and it was one of the best things we did. Not only is it great for the community and working out but the friendships you build! Most of my friends come from this gym (old location & new!), whether they are members still or not, whether they live in the state anymore or don’t, I cherish the memories made and people that I’ve crossed paths with. I don’t go as often as I once did but am still welcomed as I was on day 1. Coaches are great, work with you and very approachable. People from all aspects of life come together under this roof to better themselves (or just get away from everyday stressors). Drop in and see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym with solid programming, not necessarily CrossFit, but after a one-week trial at CrossFit Courageous, I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The workouts are well-structured, the coaching is great, and the community is supportive. I’ve been a member for over three years and still look forward to every session.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been members of a few gyms and traveled to dozens of CrossFit gyms across the world and CFC is one is the best that there is. They recently moved into a huge facility with tons of space and equipment. You will find people with all sorts of fitness backgrounds, from never touching a barbell to competitive athletes. Plus you will meet like minded people that will become the best of friends!

Fantastic experience: Great space and community. I’ve been a member for two years and have zero complaints.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to CFC for almost 5 years now and have fallen in love with the gym and the people! This place is a second home and second family to me!

Fantastic experience: I was new to the state and loved how welcoming and kind everyone is at CrossFit Courageous.

Fantastic experience: If you are in the Knoxville area and are not coming to Crossfit Courageous, what are you doing?! Everyone is so extremely welcoming and the coaches are SO knowledgable! Shout out to the 6:30pm class for bringing the vibes always!

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Faith and Family. Enough said.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Knoxville!!!

Fantastic experience: Zach and Kate are the best in the business. When I joined Courageous I was looking for a way to become physically healthier. I had no idea that I would meet lifelong friends along the way. The community here is worth the membership alone. The benefits of adopting a more active lifestyle is simply an added bonus.

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love CFC! Not only are we drawn by their excellent programming, but their culture too.

Fantastic experience: I did a drop in visit at CrossFit Courageous this morning, visiting from another gym. Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel right at home! Great work out, scaled to my ability, yet still very challenging! I will be back!!

Fantastic experience: Had a great workout with CrossFit Courageous. Coach Zach was top notch and did a great job of briefing the workout and making sure everyone understood the stimulus.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, plenty of space! The community and coaches are very inclusive and very helpful with movements. The drop in process is very easy to use

Fantastic experience: Was in town from Ohio and had the opportunity to do a drop in class on a Saturday, had an awesome time and the people were great!! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Just dropped into their new spaceand it is phenomenal. Plenty of space for 25+ person classes. Coaching was great, thank you Rosie! I’ve known the owners for a couple of years and it’s hard to find two people with their combination of knowledge and a passion for fitness. If you’re in west Knoxville this is the spot!

Fantastic experience: Zach and the Courageous coaches offer a great space and culture to bring the magic of CrossFit to life!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a CrossFit gym with a great community, highly experienced coaches, and programming that's truly going to make you better, this is the one.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly, fantastic facilities

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience at CrossFit Courageous. I teach locally at South College with a team of 8 other faculty. Our program requires us to fly into Knoxville 4 times a year for about a week. We all wanted to do the CrossFit Open. Finding a box that can accommodate that number of drop ins is typically very difficult. Zach and his members were not only accommodating but made us feel welcomed. We greatly appreciated the hospitality and will definitely be back. First class operation with some amazing people. A perfect example of what CrossFit embodies with community. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in twice last week while in town for work. Zach & Kate were so welcoming. Lots of space. Cant wait to be back quarterly!

Fantastic experience: We dropped-in for a weekend workout and were very pleased with Crossfit Courageous! We loved the atmosphere, the workout, and the coaching style. We also brought relatives who are interested in Crossfit and appreciated the coaches' time in discussion and also scaling the workout for them.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Courageous was excellent from the moment that you walk in the door, from the staff friendliness and facility. They make sure to go out of their way to make you feel at home and focus on quality coaching.

Fantastic experience: Huge space and great coaching. Great place to start your CrossFit journey or become of better athlete. If you're a drop in from out of town, there's plenty of space to do your own programming or take part in class. Coaches are knowledgeable and give great scaling options if that's what you need.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great members, and great programming. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend! I got my booty handed to me, but I’ll absolutely be back! I love how it’s not your typical gym. Workouts are predetermined so you’re always doing something new !

Fantastic experience: A great place for a drop in visit. The coaches were helpful, the members were welcoming, and the new facility is great!

Fantastic experience: Great box and coaching!

Fantastic experience: Visiting from VA and dropped in- awesome classes, awesome coaches and were so welcoming. Thank You!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great workout and great coach! Plenty of equipment for everyone

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out with friendly staff and uplifting atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: I recently started working out and was looking for a supportive and educational environment to get myself going. CrossFit Courageous coaches and members were so welcoming and understood my limitations as a newbie. They modified workouts as needed and were very knowledgeable at seeing where I needed to make adjustments in my form. I’m moving from the Knoxville area but I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a gym that feels like family. Thx for everything my CFC fam!

Fantastic experience: Was a great place, stopped in for the weekend from out of town, very welcoming and great community. Everyone was very nice and friendly, trainers know exactly what they’re doing and are very upbeat and awesome. I highly recommend if in Knoxville or visiting and are looking to get a great workout in you go to CrossFit Courageous!

Fantastic experience: I was a drop in to this box and felt welcomed. I was greeted by not only the coach (es) but other members. This made a huge impact on my son’s girlfriend who came with me to try CrossFit for her first time. There was plenty of equipment and instructions. I plan to pop in when I visit next time.

Fantastic experience: I visited for a drop-in workout and had a great experience! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, the programming was great, and the facility is really cool and has everything you could want. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in town. Thanks CrossFit Courageous!

Fantastic experience: Community. That is the easiest way to say it. This is not only about reaching your fitness goals but also improving yourself holistically. Zach and his team really focus technique and safety. As a Physical Therapist, I was really skeptical however they continued to exceed my expectations. I trust them totally, you should too!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! When you talk about gym family, no better example than this gym. The coaches are extremely professional, and knowledgeable. They will never put you in harms way, and they will walk you through all the movements, but push your limits to achieve your outcome.

Fantastic experience: UPDATE: It has now been over 1 year at Crossfit Courageous, and I must say it just keeps getting better...and I am getting better too! So read what I wrote 10 months ago and double it! This is a great crossfit community, very helpful and encouraging to all, no matter your beginning abilities. They are mindful of your individual needs and help you start your individual plan of exercise. All classes/workouts are scalable and I really need that! I had open heart surgery about 17 months ago so the team at Crossfit Courageous (CFC) is helping me carefully exercise. It has been almost 3 months and I have learned many of the exercises and seeing improvements. I definitely recommend CFC to anyone wanting to try crossfit, or who wants to continue their crossfit journey with a great community.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! When you talk about gym family, no better example than this gym. The coaches are extremely professional, and knowledgeable. They will never put you in harms way, and they will walk you through all the movements, but push your limits to achieve your outcome.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for two days while visiting for work. Great vibes from the overall environment, staff and members. It honestly felt like I was in my home gym. Great warm up, attention to form from coaches, and finished with high fives and smiles. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Was in Knoxville for the weekend and was looking for a CrossFit gym to drop in at. I texted several gyms and they were the quickest to respond. The gym was clean and the coaches were great. When I travel back to Knoxville I’ll always visit this gym!

Fantastic experience: The owners are very kind and knowledgeable. I love how thorough they are with warmups and mobility after. Some of the best programming I've seen after trying out different gyms with all of our military moves. Challenging and yet they always provide modifications for all my various pre-existing injuries (back, etc). It's nice to feel like they are concerned with form instead of just muscling through something and hurting yourself.

Fantastic experience: Been going here since November 2019. Great coaches. They are always watching to help you improve your form and encouraging all effort. I found other members accepting and welcoming from the start. I would highly recommend Zach, Kate and the rest of the trainers!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place and great people! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Awesome programming and atmosphere.

Negative experience: Very untrustworthy..Joey Lydon robbed my family of about $700..they will rip you off if it benifits them

Fantastic experience: Great coaches and environment

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with really great people. Gym is perfect for experienced crossfitters as well as others wanting to get started

Fantastic experience: I like Crossfit Courageous because they work with people individually if needed.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place to be at if you're looking for good competition training or if you're looking to add a fitness regimen added into your life. The coaches are awesome, always willing to work with you on your desired goals, the environment is very outgoing and motivating, and they have all the equipment that is expected out of CrossFit box. Aside from the challenging training, the box is also equipped with showers and lockers for those of us who are on a tight schedule, and a visible kids room to give parents peace of mind while they work-out. Finally, there's also a mobility room that offers my favorite item: NormaTec recovery boots! I highly recommend CrossFit Courageous to everyone! Great coaching, programming, quality for your hard earned money, and a great community.
