    APRIL MEMBER OF THE MONTH Everyone meet our member of the month, Astrid Aponte! Astrid has been a part of our gym since we first opened our doors and we are so grateful to have her as a part of our community here at Creed Athens! You can catch her working out at the 5:15 or 6am class and killing the consistency game Read on to learn a little more about her! When did you start with Creed Athens? December 7, 2021. What brought you to Creed in the first place? I was a member at Athens Health & Fitness and one of the coaches mentioned a new group class gym in the area. I believe I was the first person to ask ....

  • Don't Say This Phrase Around Your Creed Coach!

    Don't say this phrase around your Creed coach... “I workout so I can eat whatever I want!” This is one of our least favorite phrases to hear! Why? It’s an unhealthy way to view exercise and nutrition - it implies that exercise is simply a means to excuse poor eating. “I can eat whatever I want” implies you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want and if you're truly pursuing your health and fitness, you just can’t do that. It’s not quite as simple as calories in/calories out because not all calories are created equal! Calories from coke are not the same as ....

  • Avoiding Goal Failure in the New Year

    With the new year comes lots of new fitness goals and resolutions. But many of these goals don't last long and often get abandoned altogether once February hits. We find that people often struggle with failure when it comes to their resolutions/goals in 2 main ways: They set new year's resolutions or goals but fail to actually get started People get caught up in what they see everyone else around them doing and feel like they have to set these “big goals” for the upcoming year. This is terrible motivation for setting goals and won’t be what keeps you sticking to those goals when the going gets tough. They try to find that ....

  • Are Deadlifts Bad For My Back?

    Is Deadlifting Bad For My Back? The deadlift is probably one of the most feared weightlifting movements we do in the gym and the one that also gets the worst rap! This is because we’ve all heard of someone legitimately injuring their back doing a barbell deadlift and thus the negative connotation of “deadlift = back problems” was born. We get it though, ain’t nobody got time to be dealing with low back pain! ❌ BUT this way of thinking just isn’t true! ❌ In fact, it’s just the opposite! Injuries usually happen with this movement when people try to lift too much too soon and with improper form (hello curved spine 😫) ....

  • Fitness Influencers: Legit or Not?

    Fitness Influencers... Any of us who have social media have seen them and know exactly what most of their pages look like. We see them doing ridiculous, attention grabbing movements at the gym or making claims like "Do this 5 minute workout routine to get six-pack abs" or "Do these two movements to get rid of arm flab" or "Take this one supplement to lose 20lbs fast." This begs the questions, is their content legit? Are their claims true? With so many voices speaking about the health and fitness industry these days (many that have no business speaking on the topic), it can be hard to know what to believe and who to trust. Here are 3 important things to remember a s ....

  • How To See Consistent Progress At The Gym

    Feeling frustrated with your progress at the gym? We’ve all been there! Here are 4 key things for you to focus on in order to see that continued progress at the gym: 1. CONSISTENCY Stop stopping! Lots of people go really hard at working out for a short period of time but then get tired, overly sore, injured, burnt out and then stop. Establish a workout routine that is sustainable for you! Shoot to find a workout(s) you can do consistently 3x a week Our programming at Creed is always mixing things up with different styles of workouts and components of fitness (strength, cardio, accessory work, etc.) so it is a great option to help ....

  • How to ACTUALLY Tone and Sculpt!

    Have you ever heard someone say or even found yourself saying you want to “sculpt” or “tone up” a bit? Having been in the fitness industry for many years, we’ve heard these terms a lot. But where did they come from and what exactly do people mean when they say them? These words originated as marketing terms! In the past (and even still today), a lot of women were intimidated by strength training. They thought that lifting weights would make them bulky and look like a body builder. In reality, the bodybuilders most women are imagining spend 3+ hours in the gym every day for years and years, eat thousands of calories and maybe ....

Hard to put into words how great this place is! Whether just starting out or a seasoned veteran, Creed will provide credible community and physical challenge to anyone in the greater Athens community. 

As a former collegiate athlete, Creed certainly scratched the competitive itch many search for in life after athletics. The personal coaching and training allows any athlete to achieve their personal fitness goals. If you're in town or looking for a new gym, this is the place to go!

Keeley

Before Creed, I often told people I don't like to workout in front of or around other people; Creed completely changed that for me. The community is one of the best and most encouraging. I have people who believe in me and push me to become stronger. The coaches are incredible and make things so fun and personal. If you're wondering about fitness, looking for healthy habits, or just a great gym, don't hesitate to try Creed - you'll more than likely want to stick around :)

Above all we value the complete interaction among the coaches and the members. We never leave the gym without feeling encouraged!
