North Macon Crossfit, Not Your Typical Workout

Stepping into North Macon Crossfit, the sights and sounds of heart pumping work drive home the fact, this no ordinary gym. The workouts push your limit, whether a seasoned athlete or someone looking to get back in shape, a person on any skill level can become a crossfitter.

“You come to at peace with yourself and figure out how hard you can push yourself. In that last rep you’re completely in the zone and when you drop it it’s just a pretty euphoric feeling,” said Brandon Long, crossfit athlete and trainer.

For most athletes, bearing through an excruciating workout is anything but peaceful. The physical demand and mental agony takes a toll on those who dare to put their body to the challenge. But for Long, the challenge of pushing the limits keeps him coming back for more. If you’re not psyched about moving loads of weight in a short amount of time, Long says don’t worry, Crossfit is for anyone.

“It just takes some dedication. You just have to get in your mind that you’re going to do whatever it is that you’re going to set your mind to do.”

At North Macon crossfit, workouts go beyond your typical elliptical machine and dumbbells, or tread mill. Exercises like kettle bell swings, pull-ups and tire slams train the entire body all at one time.
