Hatchet Athletics

If you're looking to get fit, Hatchet offers the greatest workouts available in Huntsville. Every day is a little bit different, but always features smart, challenging programming.Mitch is an excellent instructor - he really cares that everybody has good form, and he's great at communicating the right queues and teaching new concepts. He knows his stuff and you can tell he's truly engaged in his passion when leading classes.Hatchet's a small community, and the more you come the more you'll recognize folks and make friends. I found early in my fitness journey that I perform at my best when I am challenged by a dose of friendly competition, rather than working alone on stuff. Working out in a class is the best because you're getting instruction, feedback, community support all in one - and you can focus on the actual work because the workout is designed for you.Crossfit can sound intimidating to newcomers, but if you give it a shot you'll see it really isn't - it might take a bit to catch up to some of the language, but it's just good programming designed to get you as fit as you can be. If you're new to working out & don't really know what you're doing in the gym either way, I'd say the level of instruction offered by Mitch is WAY less intimidating than a conventional gym full of equipment would be.I live out of town, so the best I can do is maybe 1 visit per week, alongside a variety of other fitness activities -- if you live in town there's no question the kind of transformation that can be at your fingertips if you decide to join and go every day. Class times are designed to fit easily into your schedule (in the AM before work, at 9am after school drop-off, or 5:30 after work) and the best change can come from making it a habit.

Did my first crossfit workout at Hatchet. I was a bit nervous and intimidated about how it would go. When I first arrived I felt really welcomed and Mitch was amazing at helping me as a beginner. The class was a lot of fun and challenging. Mitch did a great job at the beginning walking us through the workout that day and helping demonstrate different lifts and technique. Amazing experience and I will definitely be going back.

Amazing workouts! So much fun! Always different! Mitch is a great motivator + attentive coach. In fact, I loved it so much, I became a coach myself. Come join us - you will not regret it!!!!

Great Crossfit gym. My wife and I have been to gyms all around North America while we travel. Mitch runs super fun classes and they are always a great workout!

Amazing place to workout! Changed the way I do fitness. Mitch is so knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend!

Always a good workout!!

New facility is large and open. Mitch is great to work with, and very welcoming to drop-ins. A little upgrade to washrooms would be terrific, but not urgently required.

What a great place. Mitch is a knowledgeable, fun and encouraging coach. He has built an excellent place to work out and build community.

So glad this exists in Huntsville. Awesome & friendly community vibe!

Mitch is very welcoming. The facility is clean and well equipped. Every time I attend a class, feels like we are building on the last workout and making progress.
