Local gym launches challenge

CrossFit Bound opened a seven-week nutrition challenge on April 13 as the Kennesaw gym marked 13 years in business. (crossfitbound.com) The challenge runs through May 31, according to CrossFit Bound newsletters published March 22, March 29, and April 5. Those posts repeatedly listed the program on the gym’s weekly calendar before its April 13 start. (crossfitbound.com, crossfitbound.com, crossfitbound.com) CrossFit Bound tied the rollout to weekly education sessions, including a recent installment on range of motion and another on stance and grip. Its homepage says nutrition coaching is a standing service, not a seasonal add-on. (crossfitbound.com, crossfitbound.com) That framing puts the challenge inside a broader coaching model. CrossFit Bound says it has offered nutrition and fitness programs in Kennesaw since 2013, and its site describes classes as coach-led sessions with warm-up, skill or strength work, a workout, and cooldown or mobility. (crossfitbound.com, crossfitbound.com) The gym has used newsletters for months to turn education into a weekly habit. Its 2026 archive shows recurring posts on gymnastics, shoulder position, heart-rate training, threshold work, and movement standards, alongside recipes and training breakdowns.

Cleveland Clinic describes the hip as the body’s second-largest joint after the knee. (clevelandclinic.org) CrossFit Bound’s spring schedule suggests the gym is using the anniversary to keep members engaged after the 2026 CrossFit Open season ended in March. A March 16 newsletter shifted attention from intramural Open results to what came next for the gym, including new training cycles and ongoing education. (crossfitbound.com) For members, the next date is already set: the nutrition challenge runs until May 31, with the gym folding it into the same weekly newsletter rhythm it uses for classes, education, and member updates.
