10/10 would recommend Goliath to anyone dropping in or new to Crossfit. The owner (Marvin) and his coaches are all super welcoming, knowledgeable and FUN!

I have been going here for over 2 years, and I can say this place has been like a 2nd home to me. Great group of supportive people and coaches who really mean a lot to each other. They have great coaching and plans for everyone who wants to be more active fit from beginners to advanced athletes. Personally, I went from former high school/college athlete with a DAD BOD to competitive Crossfit athlete placing highly at regional competitions thanks to these people. I have seen many people drastically improve their physical well being and health thanks to Goliath. In my 30s I am constantly setting new all-time fitness PRs for myself and it feels great!Cannot say enough good things about this place and the people. If you are looking for a place where you can challenge yourself and enjoy a great community, this is the place for anyone of any fitness level or age. Stop wasting your time and money at a generic Globo Gym and check out Goliath Athletics to get real results, meet some great supportive people, and improve your life.

Love, LOVE working out here. It’s flexible, although you’d get the most out of a routine schedule. The coaches and community are very welcoming which has really helped me get accustomed to CrossFit which was very new to me several months ago!

Goliath is a tight knit community of committed individuals. The owners Stephen and Marvin are highly knowledgeable and genuinely care about the success of everyone in the place. If CrossFit is your thing, this place is for you!

I have been coming to Goliath since February and love it. I was new to CrossFit and havent been an athlete in the past. One thing that I appreciate is that the results translate to everyday life. I can easily carry my children for longer periods of time without feeling it in my lower back or shoulders later. My two preschool children enjoy the childcare providers and have a fun time. I feel safe leaving my kids there. I get specific feedback every class and the coaches are a great mix of encouraging and challenging. Lastly, people in the class with me have been super friendly!

10 ⭐️. I was so excited for the chance to workout here. The experience lived up to my expectations. The community is super fun & friendly, Coach Michelle, Brian, Danielle and others are knowledgeable, fun, easy to talk with and very supportive.In addition, all the other group members are so encouraging and energetic you just want to come back every day. I would recommend it to anyone. I surely had a blast. Thank you so much CrossFit Goliath.

Thoroughly enjoyed my morning with Coach John at CrossFit Goliath. For whatever reason, it seems like the universe wants me to improve my snatch technique, so when I drop in anywhere it seems like thats always on the docket.I received great correction and new information on how to improve my olympic lifting, did a thorough and varied warm-up and post-WOD stretch, and got a SERIOUS sweat going during the workout.Great facility, excellent coaching, ample parking, awesome equipment. If youre looking for a great drop-in or a new home box, Id recommend giving these guys a REALLY close look. Theyre awesome.

I have been going to CF Goliath for 4 months and I have nothing but great things to say about this box. I have been doing CF for 3 years and this place by far has the most well rounded, knowledgeable, and friendly coaches and members Ive seen. I felt comfortable the moment I walked through the doors. If you are look for a challenging workout with some great coaches in an amazing community then this is the place for you.

I started at this gym 9 months ago, with no previous weightlifting experience. I was going through uterine cancer and a divorce, and just wanted to find a way to get mentally and physically healthy (before surgery). I found CrossFit Goliath and decided to give it a try. It has been one the best choices Ive ever made for myself! I could list the pounds Ive lost, or the clothing sizes Ive gone down on, or the tone muscles I am very proud to show off, but for me that isnt the most important part of my journey with CrossFit ... my overall health is what Im most proud of, and how I can handle any curve ball thrown my way without becoming completely stressed out or broken. My friends notice my confidence, they notice my smile, and they see me rebuilding my life and coming out of what could have been a very dark period of my life ... I have become a light inside myself and I radiate daily!! Most importantly, I have become a role model for my teenage daughter on self love and self healing.Bonus: The coaches are amazing, the other members are super supportive and uplifting, it feels like a family and you dont worry about who is doing what better than you, instead we all celebrate all the successes. Simply put - it will become your home away from home, a community you dont want to leave.Side note: I did have to have my surgery during this 9 month journey, and the support I received from the staff and trainers was remarkable. I am not back 100% and feel amazing!

Ive been to a few other CrossFit gyms and Goliath is the best fit for me. The coaches are great, they have a lot of different class times, classes are not too big, and they have a playroom for kids. Its easy to get intimidated by CrossFit if youre just starting out. Goliath coaches and members are always very welcoming, theres really no reason not to give them a try.

As crossfit gyms go, this is one of the finer ones youll come across. Thoughtful programming, actual coaching, and applicable warm up and cool down with each class. The owner and coaches are down to earth, really care about the students and their progress, and they clearly put a tremendous amount of effort into this business.

Absolutely love this place ! Every time I leave its with a smile on my face after a great workout. The coaches work with you and everyone encourages you to do your best no matter what level fitness youre at! Started with a 6 week challenge and Ive been going 3 times a week ever since!

New to CrossFit and I believe Ive found the best place. The coaches that Ive worked with have been extremely helpful and supportive. Even the other people in the class have been awesome. I like that we all work together and encourage one another. They have a place for children so that way you dont have an excuse not to workout. I plan on being here a long time and im telling all my friends to come check it out.

I tried CrossFit for the first time at CrossFit Goliath. A year and a half later Im still here and still love it! This place is like family: we encourage each other, have a bit of friendly competition, and hold each other accountable for showing up and working to the best of our abilities. The coaching staff is awesome! They are always willing to take some time out to help a new person learn a movement or get acquainted with the gym, or to help someone scale a workout to their own level.

Visited several times while In Raleigh somewhat unexpectantly. A great place to challenge yourself (don’t worry if you need a little push like I do occasionally, they will not let you coast) with awesome coaching, very nice participants and all a box would ever need from a facility perspective.

This is a great box!! The coaches here dont just put you thru the motions, they really take the time to help you fine tune your skills. Great coaches. Great athletes. Great atmosphere.

This is the place to go. I was totally new to CrossFit, having been athleticto some extent in the past. The coaches here are top notch and accommodate your skill level and fitness status accordingly, while pushing you hard and helping you explore outside of your comfort zone. I wouldnt consider joining another gym after finding my CrossFit family. The community is welcoming and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. Goliath is where its at! (drink the Kool-Aid - its delicious!)

I’ve been working out at Goliath for 7 months. In that time I’ve dropped over 30 pounds and have moved my body fat % into the healthy range. More than that I’ve a gained a confidence in myself that I’ve never experienced. My mindset is more positive and new challenges seem exciting instead of daunting. The month of December I took part in a “Healthy Holiday” challenge. I was already eating pretty clean and working out at the gym or home, but the program really helped me stay positive and motivated during a pretty stressful time of year.I could go on for days about the positives of this place. While CrossFit might seem intimidating it’s totally worth it. There are plenty of gyms and programs out there but I’ve never experienced the amount knowledge and real caring every coach and every member have for each other and helping reach whatever goals you might have.

Ive been affraid to try Crossfit for some time now, but needed a reset to my workout routine. The folks at CrossFit Goliath are fantastic. They cater to all levels of fitness and push you in a positive way to help you improve. The members have been very nice and cant wait to get to know people better.They even offer some class times where they have child supervision available.If you are like me and are looking for a little motivation, you should come by.

While visiting the area for business, I was unsure of my schedule but wanted to visit a box. Mitchell was very flexible with me dropping in on short notice. I was welcomed to the box, given an orientation, and fell right in with the class. More importantly, Mitchell went out of his way to coach me one on one with a movement I have struggled to learn for over a year. I got a little better today because of him. Thank you! I hope to visit again.

CFG has great coaches, members and space! Before my first workout there, I had never done crossfit anything. I survived the first workout, completed a 6-week challenge and still go 3 times a week. If you need a gym or a change or some new friends, or just a fun place to go, head on over and see what they are all about!

CrossFit Goliath is a gym with a true community spirit. From beginner to experienced levels, everyone is welcome and has the ability to watch themselves improve and achieve what they previously may have thought impossible thanks to Mitchells coaching and everyone elses support.

3 years ago I did crossfit for about 6 months. Since then I had a baby and gained 30 pounds, so to get back into shape I started with the 6 week challenge program that Goliath offers. I loved it! I lost 10 pounds, my terrible back pain went away, Im gaining strength and confidence. I decided to stay after the challenge because the coaching staff is amazing and the members are awesome! I highly recommend Crossfit Goliath!!

What to say about Crossfit Goliath. I came in to observe a class in April 2015, though it looked scary and difficult me and a couple of co-workers decided to give it a try. Needless to say Im still here. This place is more than just a box or a gym, its home, its family. The coaches are awesome awesome and really take the time to get to know their members and their goals. The members are one big family helping and encouraging one another. This is definitely the place to be to reach your health and nutrition goals. This is the real judgement free zone.

Scam advertised free service. Once you sit through a meeting they tell you to continue you must deposit $500. Even as refundable no one is going there expecting to drop $500. Much less the people that are going because they cant afford a personal trainer. Not very good buisness practice

The first thing i want say is AMAZING experience. I am 32/male/205 lb/511/26% body fat and have never worked out in my life. I was scrolling thru Facebook when i saw the add CrossFit Golliath 6 Week Challenge. I stopped and asked the wife what she thought. Immediately she told me that if thats what i wanted, to go ahead and try it. I decided to go and check out the place. During our first workout i thought i wouldnt finish the challenge. I was dehydrated and was not following any diet. The coaches guided me in the right direction. What i loved the most about the workouts is that they are built to individual performance. And here i am, writing this review 6 weeks later 32/male/175 lb/511/20% body fat (I lost 10 pounds before the 6 week challenge and 20 pounds during the challenge) I feel amazing, everyone around me (Friends and family) have notice the changes. I have a lot more energy and i can enjoy my kids better. I want to Thank MITCHELL(for believing in us), HEATHER (for pushing our potential) and STEPH (You inspire me to work harder for what what i want to accomplish) As a business owner i thought that i wouldnt have time to do the workouts but soon i realize that it was not lack of time, it was lack of determination. I would rate my experience at CrossFit Golliath more than 5 stars, but unfortunately google doesnt allow for that. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Jose
