SEE WHY First Class Fitness IS THE BEST RATEd GYM IN Athens...

5/5

“I have been training with Justin for over 10 years. Whenever I am back in town I always schedule a workout with him. It’s great to see how far he has come. He now owns his own gym! I even recently brought my parents to him to have a private training session. They are avid Orange Theory people. They absolutely LOVED Justin and said they learned so much even in just one session. You will not regret joining this gym or having Justin as your trainer. You’ll learn a lot, be safe from injuries, and fall in love with fitness.”

“Great new gym that has everything you need and more. I am in my mid-40’s and have not worked out for quite some time. Justin, the owner, made me feel right at home and has eased me back into workouts so that I want to come back and do it again. Friendly staff, clean facilitiew, fantastic personal training, great classes, great prices. Give it a try – you will be glad you did!”

“This is a fantastic facility. The equipment is top notch and there is something there for everyone. Justin, the owner, is also my trainer. I began working with him in February before First Class Fitness was open and was happy to move to this new location. The location is convenient and easy to access. Justin is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to help or answer questions. The other gym members are always friendly and respectful as well. It’s a fantastic, positive, welcoming environment. I highly recommend this facility to anyone at any fitness level.”

“I had the pleasure of training with Justin for two years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! From day one, he tailored every session to fit my goals and abilities, providing personalized guidance and support. Each workout was hard work and full of great conversation and music. The First Class Fitness gym has everything you need and has a clean and welcoming atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend Justin and his gym enough for the Athens area!”

Robin Chitwood

Instructor

Hello! I am Robin Chitwood, an ISSA-certified personal trainer passionate about helping clients achieve their goals and become the best version of themselves.
Having fallen in love with fitness as an adult, I understand the challenges of balancing multiple priorities. Working in healthcare for over 25 years, I value time as a precious resource. I enjoy creating plans that are both effective and efficient.
Like many, I was initially confused by the myriad of messages from the fitness industry. Witnessing men and women over 30 struggle with health concerns motivated me to enter the fitness field.
I am here to help clients improve body composition and overall health. Reach out, and let’s discuss your goals!

I’ve cleaned up the personal trainer bios, removing all the website code. If there’s anything else you need, just let me know!

Ben Fitzpatrick

Instructor

I began providing personal training and fitness coaching over 20 years ago when I became a National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Personal Trainer. I’ve worked with hundreds, maybe even thousands of clients, and helped grow nearly a dozen fitness centers in every role from trainer through ownership.
Throughout my career, I’ve been proud to be a part of so many people’s fitness journeys. My clients have achieved incredible successes such as completing first-time races (5k, triathlons, marathons), overcoming injury and mobility issues, and even losing over 100 pounds!
I offer custom-tailored fitness programs, one-on-one training, partner training, and sport-specific training. I specialize in weight loss, building muscle, functionality, and post-rehab. Simply put, I love helping people live fuller, happier, and fitter lives.
My Core Philosophy:
Keep Moving Forward! Working together, you will make the most progress possible, as quickly as possible. Those small victories over time create monumental change. You can do this!
