Lakeland Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CrossFit Lakeland for a little over 2 years and I cannot say enough good things about it!! The coaches are great and have helped me achieve things I never thought I would be able to do! They are very knowledgable and encouraging!! The facility is amazing and has ruined other boxes for me, we have great equipment, tons of space and a very clean gym. We are truly spoiled with the staff and our gym. The community at Crossfit Lakeland is truly amazing and they have become my second family. I cannot imagine a better gym. I highly recommend seeing what we are all about!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: After my failed attempt to workout in my garage, I broke down and went to a globo gym. Fortunately they have bumper plates, but the amount of bad form I saw, and not just individuals, but their group classes made me shake my head. So glad I had Keith and Cat do my on ramp and always had Mike to call out my bad form and Kenny to push me to finish. Miss my CFL friends.

Fantastic experience: I was a member at Crossfit Lakeland for 2 years before moving out of state. I had heard about Crossfit while at Basic Training in the Army and was anxious to try it when I got home. All of the coaches I worked with went out of their way to make me feel welcome, patiently teach me the movements and standards, and were always looking out for my safety. Every workout is a challenge and is programmed to enhance your total fitness. You can find gyms that cost less and walk on a treadmill but if you want a real workout and real results, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: If you are serious about fitness and spending an hour on the elliptical just doen't seem to be getting the job done then Crossfit Lakeland is the place for you. After wasting too many years in the "juice bar gyms" I found these guys and at 52 years old I'm in the best shape of my life. Mike and his team see to it that every member progresses at a challenging but safe pace. There is not a more knowledgable, experianced, friendly team in Lakeland . . . No matter what your current level of fitness is if you are willing to put the effort in you will succeed here.

Fantastic experience: I've been CrossFitting for 8 years, I've been a member of at least 5 gyms as I've moved around plus visited many around the country in my travels for work. CrossFit Lakeland is one of if not the best CF gym's I have experienced. The programming is solid, facilities are fantastic, coaches are great. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in here over the holidays. Beautiful facility with super friendly staff and CrossFitters.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at CrossFit Lakeland for two years and can't imagine working out anywhere else. CFL is extremely well run from the level of knowledge and encouragement from the trainers to the cleanliness of the gym. If you're interested in giving it a try, I would encourage you to do so. It's a great place to be!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Crossfit Lakeland for over 3 years. Not only has it reignited my passion for fitness and competition, it has changed my lifestyle. Crossfit Lakeland has experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly coaches/members who will welcome you with open arms. Try out Crossfit Lakeland - you won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: LAC is a great place to work out, especially if you’re visiting the area. I just dropped into this gym for a week. The coaches and members were awesome and it was very reasonably priced for a weeks workout. They have a fantastic atmosphere, great and up to date equipment, and great programming that scales to 5 different levels. I only went to the 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. classes, but I imagine the rest of the classes are just as good as these ones. They have CrossFit classes and HIIT classes. Coaches will demonstrate the exercises and work with you if you need help. Will definitely be returning to this gym when I visit my parents in the area!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I joined LAC a few months ago and we are very grateful for the programming and coaching we receive here. We were nervous starting a CrossFit style program being so out of shape and only having limited experience in strength and functional fitness. We were embraced from the beginning (from coaches and members), and challenged each day to give OUR best effort. 3 months in we find ourselves in a positive community of members and coaches, encouraged to train with our best effort, and guided through new-to-us movements. This place is special because of the well-programmed guided training, dedicated coaching staff and welcoming community. I have never enjoyed going to the gym and now it’s one of my favorite parts of my day. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough positive things about Lakeland Athletic Club. Typically gyms terrify/intimidate me. Mostly because I had no idea what I was doing which broke apart any confidence I had in myself. At LAC, it’s the exact opposite. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcome. The program is WELL DESIGNED and the coaches are simply amazing. Even in a large class, you get the personalized attention you need. They help scale where you need as well push you harder when you need it. You can tell that safety and good form are incredibly important and that allows me to place all the trust in them to not steer me wrong. I’ve been a member since Nov 2021 and I’ve never felt stronger and more confident. And I can’t not mention the community of members. Everyone is so supportive. Joining is one of the best decisions I’ve made when it comes to my health. I absolutely love it.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I started my membership at LAC a little over 3 weeks ago, and I am consistently impressed with the atmosphere/workouts each week. The members and coaches are very welcoming, and they push you to give your maximum effort each workout. I am proud to call the Lakeland athletic club my new home gym.

Fantastic experience: This gym family is exactly what I was looking for. I have been body building/ heavy lifting for 35 years and I wanted a change - something more core, some more Cardio. I am approaching 50 and need to work differently - this is exactly what I needed.

Fantastic experience: Lakeland Athletic Club is a clean, motivating, and supportive environment that pushes me to work harder. I always look forward to class!

Fantastic experience: I've been lucky enough to call lakeland athletic club my gym family for almost 3 months now. I LOVE IT! It's fun, challenging and so rewarding everytime I step into the "box" and complete a WOD. Everyone is so welcoming from the current members to the phenomenal coaching staff. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I so timidly signed up to become a member. Best decision I've made

Fantastic experience: Best trainers and community! Come check it out, you’re going to love it here

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Knowledgeable coaches. Friendly people in class. Awesome workouts. I actually forward to working out!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been apart of! The coaches and staff are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit/HITT training facility in town! Staff and members are awesome! The facility is clean and accommodating. Such a great place all around!!

Fantastic experience: Started as a member. Then an employee. Now back as a member over the span of 10yrs. I’ve seen every angle of CFL also known as Lakeland Athletic Club. Mike and Kim’s #1 focus it to provide the best for everyone. You will not find a more educated facility than what Mike has built. Do your research an you will find that Mike is the best in Polk County. When you talk about like minded people, this is LAC’s members. They are professional, kind, selfless, and welcoming. Call and make an appointment to visit and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I've trained at a lot of different type of gyms and I feel CFL is one of the best. Staff was nice and courteous and coaching was truly spot on. If I lived in Lakeland FL. this would be my gym of choice. Keep up the good work Mike and Kim!!

Fantastic experience: Great community of people dedicated to fitness and having fun. Mike, Kim, and the coaches go the extra mile to provide a safe and clean environment. From day one , they’ve always welcomed me and held me accountable. Also the recover cryotherapy is a blessing to my legs!

Fantastic experience: Today marks my one year anniversary at CFL! When I made the decision to join I was barely getting out of bed everyday. I was severely overweight and experiencing some pretty terrible PPD. Coming to the gym started to be something I made myself get up to go and do. Being able to have fun, socialize and bring my kids made all the difference for me. The people are so welcoming and wonderful. This gym truly brought me back to life and I’m so grateful. 1 year 30 lbs and a whole bunch of butt kickings later, I couldn’t imagine not coming to this gym everyday!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train if you live in Lakeland or are dropping in. I dropped in on my visit to Lakeland and was met with a very welcoming staff and a beast of a workout. Got to chat with the owner and he was very helpful and eager to get to know me. Great place!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Our go to Crossfit gym when we come to lakeland, they also have recovery and cyro

Fantastic experience: I visited CFL for 3 months while wintering in Lakeland from Canada. CFL is full of inspiring,happy, healthy,motivated people who offer encouragement and motivation to others in the class. The coaches are A+, -very friendly,knowledgeable and enthusiastic offering good technical support. A very welcoming place to keep fit. Well run Mike and Kim!

Fantastic experience: I was in town for work and wanted to drop in somewhere for a couple days. There are a number in the area and I'm so glad I chose this one. When I first scheduled my drop in online the week before, the owners got back to me right away. The box is very nice and well laid out. I was able to make it for 3 classes, my coaches were Will and Jordan, both were fantastic to work with. They provided the perfect amount of instruction and motivation. 2 things stood out to me that ensure I'll be back the next time I'm in Lakeland: 1. Form and technique are stressed over everything. It's something my home box stresses and this box is the same. Avoiding injury and maximizing performance is paramount. Everyone I met on the staff go over all the movements before executing any workout. 2. The community feel. This is a box that has a great community culture. I met a number of athletes over the last few days and were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. After each workout there were always people socializing/hanging out. It's obvious to see that people consider crossfit Lakeland more than just a place to workout. If you're in the area and looking for a good place to drop in, this place is worth your time.

Positive experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best run crossfit gym I've visited. Mike and his team provide thoughtful programming that provides a challenge for every level of athlete. There are dietary and nutrition seminars available. Great social community as well.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while in town for Thanksgiving at gf's family in Lakeland. This is a great gym, friendly management, excellent equipment and space.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Lakeland is awesome! My boyfriend's father lives in Lakeland, and whenever we visit we stop by CrossFit Lakeland at least once. The trainers and staff are very friendly and accommodating. After not being there for over a year, they even remembered us. Great experience an awesome box. We will definitely be going back!
