I've been thinking about this for a while and haven't figured out how to verbalize it easily, but I…read morereally need to talk up Zeal. When I first realized there was a CrossFit in Holly Springs a few years ago, I was super excited. I had wanted to try it forever, but at that point in my life it was not the right time. So, I stalked, er I mean followed the Zeal Facebook page so I could see what they were all about. I loved what I was seeing. I wanted to be somewhere where I could lift heavy. I had never lifted big weights ever, but had been reading about it for years and was intimidated to go to a regular gym and do it. Sure I did BodyPump at one time, but mostly it was lots of cardio. My past athletic life was softball and basketball through high school. Otherwise I was a cardio bunny: boxing, kickboxing, walking, biking, running (hurt my knee with that one). I won't lie, at that time I was totally intimidated and almost made it to a Community WOD a few times, but never did. I wish I had started sooner. Zeal is awesome for so many reasons, but a few things I love: The programming, the coaching/coaches and the camaraderie. All of these things make you want to come back. I love just showing up and having it all planned out for me. It feels like personal training!. I've tried individual personal training and didn't see the results I see now. As soon as I made it to a community WOD, I immediately felt welcomed by everyone. All of the members are very friendly. I have never belonged to another gym where I socialized with the people I worked out with. I love the social aspects as well as the physical ones. I was immediately impressed when I first started Zeal and we were doing walking lunges and Coach Mike asked me "What's wrong with your left leg?" I hadn't mentioned to him anything about my left leg yet, but I did have some knee issues a few years ago from doing only running. I wasn't having pain anymore, but it definitely wasn't 100% I guess. The fact that he was able to see a weakness so quickly really impressed me since I hadn't said anything. If something is feeling off, Coach Mike can immediately pin point where it's coming from and give suggestions on how to mobilize it better and will modify movements if you're feeling pain. They are also sticklers for form. I have officially been at Zeal for nearly a year and a half and have seen progress all over the place. Everything can be modified so instead of pull ups, I did ring rows. Instead of strict push-ups I did negative push-ups. My squat was stuck around parallel. My flexibility and mobility were a little sad. When I first did a box squat, I literally plopped down on the box. I couldn't lower myself down slowly. Now I can do banded pull ups, some strict push-ups and even banded push-ups. My squat is looking SO much better thanks to all the feedback from the coaches, the programming and mobility. I can now do box squats without falling down onto the box and have a lot more control and strength. All my lifts are looking better every time and the weight on the bar is going up frequently. With a ton of encouragement, I got over my fear of box jumps. Well I may still be a little afraid, but I know I can do them! Zeal also just moved to a bigger space which has been very exciting with a kids room, massage and chiropractic and showers for the men and women. The benefits aren't purely physical, but also mental and emotional. I've gained so much confidence as well. Everyone at Zeal is motivating and will cheer you on to reach your goals. I genuinely look forward to going and getting the work done. The results are just the icing on the cake.

Athletes of all fitness levels are welcomed here and become part of a close knit family. The WOD's are programmed with safety as a priority but you are taught to test your limits and push yourself.

The time that he has spent there has helped him grow and mature in ways that far outweigh fitness alone and are truly immeasurable . Signing him up is the single best investment I have ever made .
