I cannot say enough positive things about this gym. The owner, Chad, was extremely responsive and helpful in getting my relatively atypical situation sorted out (I was looking for a gym away from my normal residence). The space was clean, extremely well equipped, spacious, and I loved the outdoor racks. Also, the 24-hour access was a huge plus. I got in, hit my lifts, met some really nice people, and felt right at home immediately. Would give 10 stars if it would let me!

The facility is always clean and you can tell everyone who is part of the Crossfit Local family has so much love for their facility! The gym is always open for members and they have regular really fun events! I have been a member since January 2021 and I have enjoyed becoming a part of the family! If you are looking for a great place to get into shape, tone up and get stronger, you have found it in Crossfit Local!

This was my first organized experience with CrossFit, and I can’t say enough good things about the coaches, members, and quality of training. The community is so welcoming and supportive of you – regardless of your fitness level! The coaches always find a way for me to be successful in the workouts, even if it meant scaling back or replacing exercises due to my pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or arthritis. CrossFit Local goes above and beyond for its members!

Highly recommend Crossfit Local! The owners, coaches and members are all very welcoming and motivating. The gym is spacious, very clean and well organized. They also have a great outdoor space for the warmer months. There are members at every stage of fitness levels and they promote a very inclusive environment. All of the coaches are super knowledgable and never make you feel less than for needing extra help! The classes have beginner, intermediate and advanced options that are written out so there is no guesswork! They also have 2 showers for people on the go! I will definitely be back to visit when I’m in the area!

I never thought I would be one to join CrossFit. I didn’t want to be a muscled out, steroid-looking chic. But that is not what CrossFit is about at all. It’s about you facing your own insecurities and challenging yourself. I am now more confident because I am more fit – without the bulk. I can bench press and box jump and do things I never thought I would do. I have so far to go, but I want to thank CrossFit Local for helping me get to where I am. I would very strongly recommend CrossFit Local. The way they have handled the pandemic is stellar, and I feel safe knowing that they have done their best to follow social distancing and sterilization of equipment. I feel accepted and part of the family. If you are considering, just do it. Chad & Kelly will take care of you. I promise.

KELLY EDWARDS

OWNER

After being fed up with a lack of results from her elliptical training sessions, Kelly came around to CrossFit. She started at home with Eva T’s bodyweight workouts. Due to a persistent, encouraging and very patient husband, she finally made her way into the box.

CrossFit has really changed her life, in only the most positive ways. Like many women, Kelly had always felt self-conscious of at least one part of her body. CrossFit has provided an environment where she not only embraced, but became proud of her body’s strength! This in turn has greatly influenced her self-esteem. CrossFit has changed her life is such radical ways that she wants to share this with others.

Kelly is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with undergraduate and graduate degrees in Nursing. When she is not in the box, she works as a relief nurse practitioner. She likes to read, watch theatre, cheer on the Tar Heels, play with her pups Kaiah and Comet, go fishing with her dad and spend time with her wonderful husband in her free time.

CHAD EDWARDS

OWNER

Chad embodies what it means to be physically active and mentally strong. His lifelong commitment to fitness began with his earliest experiences as a Boy Scout, which provided a solid foundation for his capacity to learn, teach, and lead. While in high school, despite playing both soccer and baseball as well as maintaining his status as an honor student, he attained the coveted Eagle Scout distinction.

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill he earned both Bachelor of Arts in Exercise and Sports Science and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degrees. During his time at UNC, he realized his enthusiasm for coaching while working at the Student Recreation Center and Rams Head Recreation Center. He also served as the Intramural Sports Captain for the Carolina Baptist Student Union.

After graduation, Chad worked as a personal trainer at local gyms, continually refining and honing his skills. Some of his original clients have followed him to Local. With over a decade in the fitness industry, Chad has coached all levels of physical fitness, from the elderly to the high-caliber athlete.

Chad’s understanding of the human body, and its potential to rehabilitate itself and excel, allow him to coach his clients in the most efficient and effective way. The variety of functional movements performed at high-intensity, which is a hallmark of CrossFit, leads to real, tangible results. Chad has seen the changes in his own life, both in performance and overall well-being, from implementing the CrossFit modalities. He is always excited to share that wisdom and passion with his clients.

Fitness is not just a job for Chad, it is a way of life. He is committed to providing the community with a place where he can assist clients in realizing not only their personal fitness goals but goals that allow them to grow personally. He is happy to report that while in California, he visited the original CrossFit and trained with Eva T. He loves to hunt, fish and spend time outdoors. In his free time, Chad enjoys spending time with his wife Kelly, daughter Evelyn and their puppies Kaiah and Comet.
