The Compound provides group functional fitness training (FFT). Functional fitness exercises train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports. FFT is for all fitness levels.

The Compound was the first certified Spartan SGX Training facility in the state of Georgia and had the first 2 certified coaches in the state. SGX utilizes an independently developed system of periodization that allows specific components of one's athleticism, nutrition, fitness, and attitude to be formed and developed throughout a training cycle. SGX is about getting the world's population off their couches and moving more, eating healthier, and more confident and comfortable in their own skin.

The Compound is proud to have expanded our programs to include Intro to Yoga, Yoga Trapeze, and Compound Chill - our signature Deep Stretch class designed to improve your flexibility. Each yoga class incorporates breath work to help deepen the poses. We also offer Private Yoga classes by appointment.

meet the coaches

Being a coach is different than being a trainer. A trainer develops exercise and conditioning programs to help clients reach their physical fitness goals. A trainer will also work one on one with clients during their workouts. A coach may do some of the same activities but takes it one step further and acts as a guiding light to help their clients attain a better life beyond just fitness. We think exercise is a critical component, but we like the idea of a holistic approach that blends the lines between the physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and social wellness.
