CFNA – The New CrossFit Atlanta
About 6 weeks ago Dan MacDougald, the Godfather of CrossFit in Atlanta, my original CrossFit Coach and then owner of CrossFit Atlanta faced an unexpected forced relocation because of a massive renovation project planned for their space. Not satisfied with the alternative spaces, his landlord offered, Dan decided it was time to hang up his lifting shoes and close CrossFit Atlanta’s doors for good.
Loyal CrossFit Atlanta member, avid CrossFitter, and successful businessman Jason Hanges, stepped up to take the torch from Dan. With Head Coach Damon Mosley on board and leading the membership, Jason set out to find a new home for CrossFit Atlanta and turn the struggling business around.
With limited space options in the area, Jason was about to settle on a far from ideal new location when I reached out to him. He and I had an instant rapport, a shared passion for CrossFit, and completely aligned vision for providing our members with second to none lifestyle CrossFit training experience. The next step was obvious…

As of today, May 1st, CrossFit North Atlanta and CrossFit Atlanta have become ONE. We have partnered up to combine our staff, coaches, memberships, and resources into our facility on Taylor Street to become the absolute, uncontested Premier CrossFit Affiliate powerhouse in the city with over 20 years of CrossFit experience under one roof.
We will drop the “North” from our name and together become the NEW CROSSFIT ATLANTA. Fasten your seatbelts and put on some safety goggles folks, we are about to BLOW THIS UP and you have front row seats. Mic drop… boom!
The true beneficiaries of this partnership will be YOU, the members. All the resources that would have gone into the former CF ATL relocation and rebuilding process will now go towards taking this facility and training experience to the next level.
It all starts NOW and will include …
- Awesome new outdoor signage, lighting and security features
- Major facility improvements like a bathroom and lobby overhaul
- A fully reinvented and stocked retail environment
- Thousands of dollars of new equipment including dumbbells, slam balls, barbells, climbing ropes as well some new big toys that will remain a surprise for now
- The addition of 3, maybe 4, new class times including a 5:30 AM and 7:30 PM
- New, highly-experienced senior level coaches
- And best of all, a fantastic collection of loyal new members passionate about CrossFit looking forward to making this their new home most hip hoppin box in the ATL!
