CrossFit Mankind to Host Grand Opening Saturday

A new CrossFit gym in Loganville is hosting a grand opening Saturday (Nov. 30). 

CrossFit Mankind will be open from 9 a.m. to noon for an introduction to CrossFit, a core strengthening and conditioning program that has constantly-varied, functional movements performed at a high intensity. There also will be free food, prizes, coach-led workouts, nutrition counseling and more.

Anyone who joins the training facility during the grand opening or in the month of December will receive a 20 percent discount on memberships. 

"Our goal is to build a solid community of like-minded individuals who are looking to improve their life through fitness and nutrition," according to the company's website. "We believe in what we do. We are excited about what we do. So, come by and let us show you what we do!"

CrossFit Mankind, which is CrossFit certified, officially opened earlier this month by founders Tony Human and Cory Cantrall. Human is a sports medicine and family physician, and Cantrall is a former U.S. marine who currently works as a satellite systems engineer for the army. He has been CrossFitting since 2008 and was CF-1 Certified in July of 2009. Human has stayed active in CrossFit for three years and been competing for two years. 

CrossFit Mankind is located at 3433 Diversified Dr. behind the Pet Superstore and next to Long's Karate. Classes are currently being held Monday through Friday at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m. For more details, visit www.crossfitmankind.net.
