Get Lifted Gym

Once again I must brag on the most heavy duty hardcore fitness facility and staff here in El Paso… If you are in need of the most challenging, extreme result driven, challenge of your life, if you are the kind of human who cannot be satisfied with just sweating but need to be drenched as though you swam the Rio Grande itself and said bring on the ocean… This is for you… The owner isn’t just a powerhouse, he is also a former pro athlete who has a taste for blood and guts in his workouts, he is more demading of himself than of any disciple of his body sculpting via sledgehammer… Go here, go this, and after the himalayans will seem only a logical next step.

This place is for the person who genuinely wants to see change once and for all in their ability and appearance. I have hated working out period. I have tried all the high end gyms for years hoping to be motivated enough to spend hours working out to see change. Working out has always been a stress on my time. I’m a business owner and have zero time to waste, sadly my body reflected this. Get lifted has changed all of that. In 6weeks I looked and felt better than ever before, I’m 36 and was 315lbs I lost 50 lbs in 5weeks and 6 inches from my waistline. I hope to see a me I’ve never seen before. Do this once and the simple personal achievement garnered will be worth it all. I now encourage my employees to join the gym as part of a focusing movement and activity… This will change your life!

Get Lifted seems like a really awesome CrossFit gym. Everyone I met was helpful and friendly. I was really overwhelmed when I first showed up, like nearly to tears b/​c I was afraid to be there. I felt like I didn’t belong in such a place. By the end of my assessment I was happy, felt great about my accomplishments, and was ready to sign up.
Unfortunately, my workout hit me about 5 minutes after I was done talking with my assessment trainer and I totally lost it standing in the hallway. I couldn’t tell if I needed to puke or pass out, neither of which happened, but I knew standing in that hall would be the end of me.
So I abruptly ran off with my contract to sign up back to my car and sat there with my head on the steering wheel for about 5 – 8 minutes until I came back to life.
If you want a hard core workout in a short amount of time, this is your place. If you want to be challenged at a pace you can actually do, this is your place. If you want to be surrounded by motivating happy people, this is STILL your place.
You work your entire body with the system they have set up, and you don’t have to worry about using any fancy machinery. It’s all you, it’s all your body. And there were people of varying fitness levels at this gym, though I do feel like it’s a place you go after you know you can handle a workout.
I may actually sign up here after I feel a little more bad ass, but I know I could handle it now if I just tried. I just don’t want to try right now, I’m happy with my little runs.
Thursday is open gym. Show up 10 minutes before the hour to sign in and get paired up with a trainer and see if CrossFit is for you!
