Testimonials
Jarrod, head coach of the Olympic Weightlifting team at AL, is knowledgable and attentive. He provides coaching cues to his students to make small adjustments at a time to not overwhelm the student with too much information at once. This coaching style yields quick and visible improvements in lifts!
I looked into Athletic Lab because I knew there was a weightlifting team and it has exceeded my expectations. Coach Jarrod Nobbe has been so encouraging, so respectful, and he’s extremely knowledgeable.
I’ve been at Athletic Lab about a year and a half and have made so much progress. Love the members here and Jarrod is a great coach!
My daughter attended Athletic Lab for some strength and conditioning for her upcoming volleyball season, and the team did a phenomenal job of putting together a plan that meets her needs. Highly recommend to anyone beginning or looking to take their fitness to the next level.
I’ve been attending CrossFit classes at Athletic Lab for about 3 and a half years. It is such a wonderful community and all the coaches are great. I mostly attend Coach Beatriz and Coach Kyrie’s classes and they’re just so much fun to be around. The best thing about AL is that it’s for everyone! The coaches are knowledgeable and will modify anything for you. It’s, also super welcoming with the director, Cate, at the entrance ready to greet you.
I have been a member of Athletic lab for 9 years now. I have worked with all of the coaches and enjoyed all of their individual expertise. ONE STAR in particular is Craig Kleinberg. I always look forward to seeing Craig at 6 am. He gives me great advice on how to improve my lifts, is fun to be around, and his music selection is superb.
I've been a member of the lab since 2019, with Athletic Lab Barbell Club, under the watchful eye of USAW national coach, Jarrod Nobbe. I could not be happier with the quality of the facility/equipment, the programming, or the coaching. If you're serious about getting better at Olympic Weightlifting, this is the place to do it in area.
I highly recommend Athletic Lab. I've been here less than one year and have grown so much as an athlete and working with coach Kyrie. Kyrie's coaching style is not only knowledgeable but also personalized, adapting to the individual needs and skill levels of her athletes. Her keen eye for detail and commitment to proper technique have played a crucial role in refining my olympic lifting, ensuring better efficiency and minimizing the risk of injury. Kyrie's focus on building strength and skill development has translated into tangible progress in both my toes to bar and chest to bar movements. Athletic Lab is worth checking out no matter your fitness goals!
After training at the Athletic Lab for just about a year now, I can confidently say this gym has exceeded my expectations. Jarrod N, my trainer, has consistently provided me with a personalized plan, and he has kept me motivated. I’ve witnessed remarkable improvement in myself and I continue to look forward to coming in every week.
Thanks to coach Kyrie and Beatriz I have taken my CrossFit skills and overall fitness to the next level. So greatful to have them as coaches!

The athletic lab is so much more than a fitness facility.
Yes, it’s a super clean, and beautiful space that is full of state of the fit athletic training equipment. But, more importantly, it’s a supportive community of people from diverse geographic backgrounds and athletic experiences who come together to work out with expert and compassionate coaches.
Kyrie Furr is a star ⭐️
Everyone comes with a story. Without judgement, Kyrie is able to both listen and relate to these stories.
She can modify a workout to make it challenging and rewarding for everyone.
And, just like the words above the door, Kyrie helps me “Leave Better”.

Started training here close to 2 years ago and it’s been the best decision I’ve made since moving to the triangle! Coach Jarrod and all the rest of the training staff really are top tier and have emboldened me to hit numerous personal goals. Progress is constant at the at the Athletic Lab!
Great facility. Jarrod Nobbe is a very knowledgeable coach.
I highly recommend Athletic Lab. It's an encouraging and supportive environment, which has been instrumental in pushing me to surpass my own limits and set new personal records. As a CrossFit athlete, having Kyrie as a coach has been a game-changer, and I am grateful for the continuous improvement she has helped me achieve. I highly recommend Kyrie as a CrossFit coach and Athletic Lab in general for anyone looking to enhance their skills, strength, and overall athletic performance.
I joined Athletic Lab Weightlifting team about a year ago to work on my olympic lifts, and I have seen such drastic improvements over that time. Coach Jarrod writes such varied and thoughtful programming which has kept me motivated and addresses improvements across all aspects of the lifts. He remembers what each of his athletes are working on and is able to give great cues to continue to refine technique and strength. Highly recommend!

Been around the weightlifting team at Athletic Lab for going on 10 years now. By far the best facility, coaches, athletes and environment to improve whatever your discipline may be.. track, soccer, speed, power, endurance, strength, weightlifting, and crossfit, you name it. Cate and Mike have always provided the warmest of welcomes, support and encouragement. For weightlifting, well you just cant find the energy, knowledge, experience, commitment and passion that Coach Jarrod brings to the weightlifting team. As hard as it is to say this.... I guess he is the reason I keep coming back...:)
I have been a member of Athletic Lab since May/June 2021. I am a competitive Irish Dancer and I needed to find a private coaching program that would tailor the training to my specific needs. The Athletic Lab delivered!
I have primarily worked with Beatriz Fernandez who took the time to look at my sport, having only Riverdance / Lord of the Dance as prior knowledge. She took the time to listen to me as I explained my weaknesses and my strengths, things I needed to improve, things I wish were better and other strength goals as well.
Not only did she listen to me explain my sport, Beatriz also watched several videos from both class and competition, came to some of my shows, and also traveled to Greensboro for a competition to see it live! She went above and beyond to fully understand the complexities and niché requests that is an artistic sport.
Since that time, Beatriz has tailored, and continues to tailor my cross training to help me succeed in my competitions. I went from never knowing if I would have the right amount of stamina for the day, to having the confidence of knowing that I was going to make it through my dance.
I have improved so much in my stamina, my strength, my jumping ability, my posture, my reaction times, and I’m sure many other areas. This past fall, it all came together and I placed 7th for my age group in the entire Southern Region USA + Mexico.
I’ve truly enjoyed my time with Athletic Lab. I’ve worked with several of the trainers and they are all fantastic. They have fun. And work hard. I not only have a coach I love to work with, but I’ve gained a good friend too! I plan on staying with Athletic Lab far after my competitive career is over. However long that lasts!

Jarrod helped me learn the basics of olympic weightlifting at this facility. I've had the pleasure of working with him three times and he consistently provides quality feedback. He is incredibly vigilant and cares about his athletes immensely.
I've been on AL's weightlifting team for over two years now and can confidently say that coach Jarrod goes above and beyond for his athletes. It's a great community!
Some of the kindest most knowledgeable personnel I have ever encountered in my medical rehab process.
Athletic lab is easily one of the nicest gyms I have ever been in. It features some of the best equipment and cleanest facilities around. Their coaches/trainers are all amazing. I have personally work with coach Jarrod for the past 2 years, and in every session he brings a wealth of knowledge and focus to help you achieve your goals.
I joined the Olympic weightlifting team about a month ago. Coach Jarrod took the time to understand where I am currently and what my goals are. He and the team immediately made me feel welcome and I can already see my technique and strength improving in both the snatch, and the clean and jerk. Jarrod gives me cues and coaching points each session that make a big difference in my movement patterns. Technique has always been a challenge for me, but I’m confident it will continue to improve significantly from Jarrods coaching and the very knowledgeable and supportive team. I look forward to continuous progress!
outstanding gym with fantastic array of equipment and well-trained coaches to ensure the safety and optimum fitness outcomes. Kyrie writes the various programs to challenge
us & we love her as our am coach along with Beatriz and Craig.

I've been a member at Athletic Lab for 10 years now and they do an amazing job for people of all athletic levels....definitely a great sense of community. And Kyrie Weant is a fantastic coach and leader at AL!
I have been going to Athletic Lab for a number of years and have gone through numerous coaches, interns and interns turned coaches but of all of those I think Andres has transitioned to a full time coach better than anyone! He is a great asset to the coaching staff and we are lucky to have him! Thanks Andres!
I have been to or sampled many gyms; AL is by far the best. Mainly because they practice a philosophy of lifeSpan way beyond exercise. We can age well with AL and the coaches. All the coaches deserve a five star. I would do 6 stars if I could. Still, a special hat's off to Beatric and Kirie who keep a coache's eye on me at Senza. So I simply say; find out for yourself and "Just Do It."

I've been a member at Athletic Lab since 2015. My husband and I had been working out at a conventional gym and wanted to try something different. We looked into trying out the Crossfit classes offered by AL. We were blown away by how friendly and encouraging not only the coaches and staff were to us, but also the other members there working out together. We were instantly hooked! In the past nine years, we've met some incredible people and accomplished health and fitness goals I never imagined I would at this stage in my life. Before starting at AL, I'd never even run a mile or done a pull up. Now I can say that I've completed a half marathon and even participated in Crossfit competitions with lots of pull ups :) The entire coaching staff is so helpful and professional... I actually look forward to the workouts! Coach Kyrie always puts a smile on my face at 6AM class (even when she programs thrusters) and I admire how hard she works to accomplish her own goals. AL has truly been life changing for us and we really appreciate the community they've created!
Great facility. Great trainers and great equipment. Been training here for more than 2 years with Jarrod Nobbe and it has been a great experience.
