CrossFit^® ATP

Fantastic experience: I was very hesitant to join CrossFit ATP because of being older and less experienced in working out. From the beginning, Wade and his skilled coaches have been so welcoming and encouraging! Very trained in scaling movements that led to noticeable improvements. No coach plays to only the strongest or more experienced. Everyone is made to feel that however you practice, no matter how many reps, if you're there, you're improving, getting stronger every day. Great vibe and energy at CrossFit ATP. Hats off to Wade and coaches Crystal and Emily. You guys are the best!!!

Fantastic experience: A great atmosphere, amazing coaches, and people who will quickly become friends.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in when visiting Charlotte. Very responsive, nice facility, great coaches and friendly members. Best of all, a great workout. I will definitely be back next time I am in Charlotte.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for a year membership the first day I walked into CrossFit ATP because I felt welcomed by all the coaches and members. Meeting Coach Wade and his cool dogs left no doubt that this was the place for me. I felt challenged and supported by coaches and members in every workout and I made so many advances during my time there. I would highly recommend ATP if you are looking for an amazing place to workout where you are treated like a member of the family.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Crossfit ATP since June 2020. I have been very pleased with the level of professionalism, amount of planning that goes into each day's workout/strength programming and individual attention everyone receives. If you are looking for a friendly community that will encourage you and a Coach/Owner that has the experience, knowledge and drive to help you meet your fitness goals, then look no further!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality I had always wanted to try Cross Fit but was a little intimidated by it. This was an awesome experience! Coach Wade is great and worked with me as a beginner to make sure I got a great workout and had the correct form. I would absolutely recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: The coaches are so knowledgeable and supportive. The community is encouraging and fun. Makes working out at 5:30am totally worth it.

Fantastic experience: I've been to many Crossfit gyms over the last decade and this one ranks on top so far. Owner/Head Coach Wade runs a smooth ship. The place is extremely clean, the workouts are well thought out and well explained, and the members are friendly and inviting. You will not regret giving this gym/box a try. Oh, and did I mention they now have 15lb plates!

Fantastic experience: I just joined Cross Fit ATP two weeks ago, and have not been disappointed! Great staff, encouraging environment! This is my first experience with CrossFit. It’s challenging for sure but the staff always gives alternative movements based on your experience and comfort level! If your thinking of joining a CrossFit, this is a great place to start!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I don’t feel ANY pressure at this CrossFit to keep up. There’s just encouragement to consistently compete only with myself. I pick a weight that works for me, it’s my choice to push how hard I want, and that’s all I need to give myself hell :)

Fantastic experience: I'm continually impressed with Wade's passion for coaching and knowledge around fitness! Highly recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: Super friendly gym community! Very clean and well taken care of facility! Big and spacious! No crowded classes! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great gym in Plaza Midwood!

Fantastic experience: I wouldn’t go to another CrossFit Gym. Coach Wade is awesome and the members are very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit ATP back in August. Being new to CrossFit, I was a bit intimidated to join but immediately felt welcome and accepted here from day one. There are athletes at every experience level at this gym and no matter your experience, everyone is encouraging and genuinely wants to see you succeed. Coach Wade and all the other coaches are extremely knowledgeable and provide in-depth explanations of the workouts during EVERY class, teaching proper form and key cues for difficult movements. The people are fantastic and now I look forward to my workout everyday! CrossFit ATP has helped me build a regular workout routine and the community is absolutely the best.

Fantastic experience: I love how clean and organized this gym is. You can tell attention to detail is a priority here- from programming to coaching. It’s done well and it’s done right. If you want to be apart of the best gym fam in Plaza Midwood, come check out ATP!

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very knowledgeable and everyone is so welcoming! Highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Just did my first session with CrossFit ATP as a 90 minute team workout. Crystal and Wade were great coaches and I really enjoyed the facilities. I appreciate the attention to their details with explaining the anatomy of the movements and proper, safe techniques to complete the exercises. I highly recommend CrossFit ATP!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym for team training. Competitive pricing and excellent coaches. Wade and Crystal are fantastic at crafting challenging workouts while emphasizing proper technique.

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal gym! Very supportive and friendly coaching staff, and the scientific thought process that goes into the programming is unparalleled.

Fantastic experience: Great gym facility! Great coaches who look professional and really take the time to coach you! The community is fun, friendly, and diverse! No matter who you are, you’ll super welcome and at home here.

Fantastic experience: Biggest and best gym in Plaza Midwood! Coach Wade, the owner, is a really professional, super friendly, and will always leave a smile on your face! This gym is the least intimidating CrossFit gym you’ll ever set foot in.

Fantastic experience: If you trying to reach your personal goals this place is it! Came in and didn’t expect to find a gym so quickly. Coach Wade (owner), Coach Krystal, and Coach Ian take the time to get to know you as well as Push you to reach your maximum potential! Doesn’t matter your age,weight, or athletic ability at CrossFitATP!

Fantastic experience: Great circuit exercises. Excellent explanation of exercises and the benefits for your sport movements. Great for amateur sports teams like the Charlotte Gaelic Football Club.

Fantastic experience: Team training offered is superb. The coaches were very easy to deal with and there online sign up is very convenient. The facility is awesome and the coaches really know what they are doing. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Friendliest gym I’ve ever been to! Spacious, clean, and great coaching too!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym because of the variety of programming. Coach Wade makes sure to consistently practice on fundamentals while still making each workout appropriately challenging. Super glad to be apart of this fun, friendly gym fam!

Fantastic experience: When I was gym-hopping to try and find a way to step up my fitness game, I was used to being thrown into a workout with little instruction or assistance. CrossFit ATP completely broke that stereotype for me. Wade and his coaching staff will explain the WHY behind every movement, how it correlates to the body and how to build a strong foundation before advancing into more technical moves. They've given me the tools to become the strongest version of myself and I couldn't be happier having joined. The CrossFit ATP team is not only a great workout -- it's a fun community for people to come in and be themselves, feel welcomed and challenged, all at the same time. I highly recommend CrossFit ATP if you're in need of a game changer!

Fantastic experience: Great gym!! Wade is super knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate about improving his members lives.

Fantastic experience: I stumbled onto CrossFit ATP by accident and stayed on purpose. Coach Wade is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel at home. Everyone who comes in is inviting and encouraging. The workouts are challenging but can be scaled to make sure that everyone is able to improve and get stronger. All of the coaches are respectful, people oriented, and always happy to answer questions on ANYTHING. I would recommend this gym to anyone of any age and any skill set.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful community coming together in health and friendship. This gym is welcoming to all, approachable, and a great way to focus on your health in it’s entirety in an accepting environment. Coach Wade is a great friend who has built a community to be proud of.

Fantastic experience: I was always apprehensive to trying CrossFit, as the few experiences I’ve had were not very welcoming. However, I’m really glad I made the decision to give CrossFit ATP a chance. This is very much a welcoming, non intimidating, and overall fun environment. Members are of all skill levels and coaching is fantastic. I cannot say enough great things about this place.

Fantastic experience: Welcoming Plaza-Midwood neighborhood gym that will get you in tip-top shape fast! I joined last year and had recognizable improvements after only a couple of months. Would recommend CrossfitATP to anyone in Charlotte who is intimidated by the "crossfit" name but wants to try the workouts in a supportive environment. Professional coaches are very helpful with movement modifications as your body gains strength and stamina. They are open to all ages and fitness levels - great camaraderie.

Fantastic experience: Coach Wade is awesome! He really knows his stuff and is great to work with. The gym and group there are not intimidating like you see in other places. Highly recommended. Well worth the money!

Fantastic experience: There are so many reasons to love CrossFit ATP. Coach Wade and the rest of the staff are amazing! All of the coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, patient and attentive. There are scales to every workout and the gym welcomes those of all athletic abilities. When I joined 2 years ago, I knew nothing about CrossFit but I instantly felt welcome and at ease. This is the only time I have really stuck with a fitness routine and I must say that I’m addicted. It’s really cool to track your progress overtime and watch yourself do things you never thought you could. Another big reason that keeps me coming back is the amazing sense community and friends that I have made over the last few years.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been apart of multiple boxes through the years and Crossfit ATP is by far the best crossfit gym I’ve been apart of. Wade and his team are highly knowledgeable couches that accommodate people of all athleticism and capabilities. Egos are left at the door everyday. It’s a very welcoming group of athletes that encourage self improvement! Im going to miss this gym, I’ll be lucky to find another gym in Asheville that meets the caliber of CrossFit ATP. I highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend CFATP enough. This box has it all! Great space/location, wonderful coaches, awesome programming, new equipment, wonderful members, and an amazing sense of community! But if you like reading longer reviews, this is why I love CFATP… I have been doing Crossfit for a number of years now and life has forced me to move and adjust from one box to another. When I first started I wasn’t able to shop for boxes like I can now. Now, there are a number of options near me for Crossfit so when we moved to our new house and joined the neighborhood I tried a few of them out. If I’m being honest, they were all pretty great. Outfitted with nice/new equipment, well maintained facilities, etc. But in every case there was just something that was missing. At the time, I didn’t know anything about CFATP, it’s members, coaching, or its location other than it was close by. I would soon find out that this box is a true community, with so much diversity in their members, positivity in their approach, and unrelenting encouragement throughout every workout. I wish I could say that I chose CFATP for these reasons, but this box chose me. Wade welcomed me day 1 and let me check it out, stress free, and no aggressive salesman approach. I have now been a member of this gym for over a year and have loved every workout and get together with this gym since. I did say that this gym was like a community, and like it, there have been plenty of opportunities to get together to socialize and get to know one another outside of the box (Thanksgiving, meet ups at the breweries, watching the Super Bowl, etc.). As I mentioned earlier, I have been a member at a number of boxes in the past all equipped with the knowledge to coach through movements, scaling, etc. Wade is the Head Coach at CFATP and he can do all of that and sooooooooo much more. He completely blows me away with his knowledge and his ability to translate that during our classes in ways that helps maximize our potential as athletes. Not only does he break down complex skilled movements that Crossfit is known for, but he also understands what the body wants and needs on a molecular level… yes, molecular. Degrees in Exercise Physiology and Biochemistry, there is nothing he can’t help understand or break down when it comes to Crossfit and health. I have made some great friends here and would recommend to anyone of any skillset and exposure to Crossfit that is looking for a challenge and strong community.

Fantastic experience: I travel a lot and drop in to many gyms in many cities around the country. I especially loved ATP- Coach Wade and Andrew were both amazing. The community was incredibly welcoming, and the workouts were fabulous! The coaches are thorough with stretching and explaining the wods, and attention is given to each member with suggestions of improving form and effectiveness. I'll definitely drop in again if I'm nearby! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Top notch programming, coaching, and a great welcoming community! CrossFit ATP is a wonderful gym. The coaching staff does a fantastic job creating a safe and fun environment where people new to CrossFit to experienced athletes can improve and have fun working out. I love the warm welcome that new members receive as much and getting to work out with my long time gym buddies!

Fantastic experience: I found a place where I can challenge myself everyday I work out. The coaches are very knowledgeable not only about the daily routines and movements, but also about the body as a whole, the muscles and quimical reactions that happen during and after working out. All the members are great people that help me push myself a bit harder every day. A plus to all this is to have Zane around, if you decide to come, you'll meet him (he is a puppy the size of a horse)

Fantastic experience: Love this place. I've been coming here for over 2 years. On top of being a great place to work out in Plaza-Midwood, it's also a great place to meet friends. Great sense of community. I love coming here each day and you will too! Don't be intimidated, CrossFit ATP is a fantastic gym with people from all types of backgrounds and varying experience. Go check it out today. You will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit ATP has a welcoming and friendly membership led by it's owner Wade, who has an obvious passion for coaching and for building a great community. I have enjoyed dropping in during my lunch break every week to workout and hangout with such a great group!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend CrossFit ATP! Great location, facilities, coaches, and members! Everyone is very encouraging, making it a very welcoming place for members of all levels.

Fantastic experience: Called about and hour ahead to schedule a drop in. Coach/owner Wade invited me to come in whenever and gave me a tour of the gym. Wade is very knowledgeable of movements and how the body functions. Class ran smoothly with well demonstrated movements. Great workout with a welcoming group of members. Gym has showers however I didn’t use them. If your in the area I definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. Everyone is very friendly and the workouts are awesome. Highly recommend stopping by!

Fantastic experience: I only went here briefly before moving, but everyone was so welcoming and I really appreciated Coach Wade's emphasis on education and safety. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit ATP is a great environment! Found it because of its location, stayed because of the people there. Groups are far from intimidating with people from EVERY skill level led by amazing coachs. Owner Wade is phenomenal and makes sure everyone gets something out of each workout. I highly recommend visiting to see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit ATP has been a game changer for me. Coach Wade is awesome. I have not met a coach more knowledgeable. He's passionate about working with his members to obtain their goals. You can be super fit or barely able to get off the couch - this coach will take great care in helping you reach your goals. The atmosphere is fun and encouraging. Give it a try and you'll find a great community of friends!

Fantastic experience: Great programming! I don't think we have done the same workout once in the 7 months I have been here. The members and Coach Wade create a really great atmosphere that really helps keep the energy levels high.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym. The coach is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and motivated to help members achieve; the facility is in a great location (easily accessible from Independence, Wendover, Randolph, and Commonwealth/Central); the price is lower than other HIIT-style gyms in the area; the equipment is brand new; and the other members are very supportive and nice to work out with.

Fantastic experience: Coach Wade is extremely knowledgeable, fun, motivational and safe. CrossFit gyms can vary but Coach Wade makes this an exceptional gym. With every client he goes through a fundamentals course for an hour before you come to any workouts, and every workout has a skills portion where you dedicate time to learning proper form. During workouts, he gives his undivided attention, and in his own words, "No lift is worth weeks or months of pain." In other words, he prioritizes safety and form. If you can't do something, and are too prideful to modify, he makes you modify it anyway. If you are scared or lack confidence, he pushes and encourages you. I was one of the first 20 to join, and I am so glad I did. We all vary in our shapes, sizes, and athletic ability--it's not a "meat heads gym" -- but we all work our tails off. The workouts are tough but doable, and it's an exteremely welcoming environment both from Coach and from the members there. If you need a good group of people to motivate you and a great coach, this is the place for you to join! It is worth every penny!!
