lacX is the gym's signature CrossFit style workout.
It blends strength training with intense cardio in a 1-hour class.
A session could include pullups, rowing, burpees and more.
Every workout is different, and each one is scaled to your fitness level.
Best for anyone looking for general fitness.
lacHIIT is short for High Intensity Interval Training.
It is a rapid 45-minute workout designed to increase your strength while keeping your cardio conditioning peaked, with lighter weights and simpler movements.
Best for anyone looking for general fitness without the technical movements.
You do not have to be in shape first. Members range from complete beginners to experienced athletes.
Your first step is a 30-minute in person consultation about your fitness goals, followed by a talk about membership options that fit them.
If you have a CrossFit training background you can drop in to any of the classes.
Membership pricing depends on the program and is covered at the free intro.
Classes are coached by owners Mike Knaisch (CrossFit Level 2) and Kim Knaisch (CrossFit Level 1), who brought CrossFit to Lakeland in late 2008.

Real members, real change
The best CrossFit gym and coaches anywhere. I was a member of this gym for over 4 years and recently moved to Gainesville. Nothing compares to the knowledge of the coaching staff. The facility is large and well outfitted with the best equipment and WODs are strategically created for overall performance and can be scaled to any level.
This gym has given me the best experience and instruction on fitness I've ever received. The owner greets me by name every time he sees me, and all of the coaches have been incredibly helpful. They take the time with everyone. You can tell Mike cares deeply about his business and so do all of his staff, making it an awesome experience and gym to work out in.
Since beginning my journey at Lakeland Athletic Club over a year ago, I have seen a decrease of almost 30 pounds on the scale. My body fat percentage has gone from 42.1 percent to 26.2 percent and my muscle mass has increased. My time at Lakeland Athletic Club is not something I do to check a box. It is something I do because I believe what they teach and provide gives me a quality of life I did not even know was possible.
