CrossFit Local Open since January 2010, longer than any CrossFit in Orange County. Chad was voted one of best personal trainers in the Triangle for four years in a row.

We help people of all levels reach fitness goals through our specialized programs - Ignition, CrossFit, personal training, nutrition counseling, barbell, endurance and 24/7 open gym access! Our coaches have 65 combined years of CrossFit experience and go through an intensive 6 month process for the opportunity to become a CrossFit Local coach. Our coaches have over 30 certifications including CrossFit Level I, Kids, Gymnastics, Endurance, Mobility, Weightlifting, Olympic Lifting, and Goal Setting. Owner and head coach Chad Edwards has a Bachelor in Exercise and Sports Science degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and over 12 years of experience in the fitness industry. All CrossFits in Chapel Hill and Carrboro employ coaches who had their start at CrossFit Local. CrossFit Local is the only gym in the area offering leveled classes so you can choose the level that is most appropriate for you (beginner, intermediate, advanced, all levels). We offer child care, bootcamp, CrossFit, CrossFit Kids/Teens, personal training, nutrition counseling and barbell club. We have fielded individual athletes and teams for the CrossFit Games and Regionals. We have worked with a Miss NC contestant for the Miss America pageant.

A kettlebell swing looks simple.

Doing it well takes good coaching.

Our coaches teach you to drive with your hips and keep the bell under control, then add weight as you get stronger.

Technique first, every time.

You've been telling yourself you'll start next Monday for months.

The guilt sits there.

The energy is gone by day's end.

You're not sure where to begin or if it'll even stick.

Chad and the coaches at CrossFit Local know that feeling.

They've spent over 20 years helping people just like you move past the waiting and into real change.

It starts with one conversation.
