I visited Swagler Strength over the Christmas holidays — a friend dragged me along for my first ever Crossfit experience, and that experience was awesome. I’ve been lifting weights for around two years, and am in good physical shape, but Jamie’s workout was a real challenge, and was tailored for the individual abilities and experience of everyone in the class. I’ve generally had mixed-to-negative experiences with trainers at gyms in the area and across the country, and Jamie’s knowledge, patience, and motivation were about the best I’ve ever encountered. I never felt I was being pushed too hard, but I was always being pushed, and at the end of the class I was sweaty and sore and flushed with energy. If you’re in the area and want to build a better you, definitely check out Swagler Strength.
