Introduction: Strength Camp Acworth coming soon! We are transitioning from Iron Mike, CrossFit IMSC and CrossFit programming to Strength and Conditioning Group Classes in January 2017 as we open under a new name and new partnership with Strength Camp in St. Petersburg, Florida!!! BECOME THE STRONGEST VERSION OF YOURSELF! Want good solid coaching to get stronger, run faster, play harder, and be better? Our training is for ALL ages at ALL fitness levels. We believe in teaching basic structure, form and technique over pushing our athletes for overall numbers such as weight lifted and the fastest time on the board. Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is our goal, not short term temporary results. Teaching you true and safe movements patterns is paramount to allow you to progress on to safely building the strength and speed later in our programming. No matter where you are in life or what your goals are, we would like to help get you there. We have several training options available for all ages, genders, and fitness levels. But the main thing we want to foster is personal wellness. health. camaraderie, team spirit, and most of all FUN. All of our workouts are scalable to meet you where you are in your fitness journey - no matter if you are just starting out, or are an accomplished athlete looking for that next personal record or challenge. Our unique classes are a combination of Strength, Power, and High Intensity Interval Training, a with an emphasis on improving athletic strength, conditioning, and performance that will carry over to any activity - as well as body aesthetics. It is designed to give you the most bang for your buck and time, and is an ideal program for anyone to join and start down the path of self improvement. Think of it as fast-paced, intense group training that focuses on the basics - functional movement patters as well as explosive power, solid strength, and metabolic conditioning. You will get individual one-on-one attention, as well as the team aspect of group instruction and workouts. This is not one of those run-of the-mill camps where you are just another number. We will do beginning and periodic assessments on each aspiring athlete, teach and audit the performance of basic to advanced training movements, and deliver high quality progressive programming that ramps up in intensity as you improve. It will not be the same old boring routine every workout. It may start easy and slow, but it will get harder and we will go faster... We will work on all of the aspects of health and athleticism - including healthy diet, balance, mobility, power, explosiveness, speed, and agility. We offer the following services at our facility: - Strength and Conditioning Classes - 1 on 1 Personal Training - Group Personal Training - Professional Personalized Nutrition and Meal Planning (online and app based) Why do we love to train clients? Change is the point, the reason for all we do. We revel in the mind and body's ability to change and transform at any age. Nothing is better that lifting someone up and showing them through hard work and dedication what they can become. Watching someone who is overweight push themselves and persevere to become something they never though imaginable. To push that former high school athlete to best his old records, to watch a stay at home mom finish her first adventure race with a big , muddy grin on her face, or to watch a teenage athlete beat the clock... That is why we love what we do. We think of helping people achieve better physical fitness and a healthier lifestyle as an obligation, not just a financial opportunity. The role of a true leader, teacher, and coach is that of a servant, and their job is to promote the success and growth of his clients. Will you be one of our success stories?

Home of CrossFit IMSC.....The BEST place to take your fitness to the next level. Come and give it a try. Excellent coaching…fabulous programming...a fitness community that welcomes everyone. Crossfit is for anyone who wants to get fit, feel empowered and/or live a healthy lifestyle. There are people of all ages and sizes in this gym. After a few months there are still a lot of things I can't do at RX, but I'm getting stronger and I have more endurance than when I started. Brandon is an amazing coach! Working out at his gym is like having a personal trainer with you at all times. He constantly teaches form and alternative movements whether you are ready to go up or are working your way there. Highly recommend trying it out. You will be hooked and never look back. Don't get me wrong...it’s hard and it pushes you to the limit... but it's WORTH IT….and YOU are worth it, too!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, a IYCA High School Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and I am in the process of obtaining a IYCA Speed and Agility Specialist Certification. For security, the IYCA certification requires you pass a background check due to working with youth.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My name is Brandon, and I'm just like you in many ways. I have a family, a busy life, dogs that need walked, and a yard that seems to need constant attention. Through all of that hectic noise of daily life in the 'burbs, I have found the internal motivation and drive to better myself and improve my mind and body. I will not age gracefully, but will have to be dragged into the latter years of my life kicking and fighting. I decided to prioritize my fitness and well being, and through that found the true calling in my life - coaching and facilitating the health and fitness of others. All due to one man, but more on that later... My fitness journey initially began when I impulsively joined the United States Marine Corps in 1995, just shy of a year out of high school. I had toyed with the idea for years throughout high school, but never entertained it seriously until several developments in my personal life led me to make a drastic change in my surroundings and in my life. I found myself in the Marine recruiter's office, signing on the dotted line while watching a "motivational" VHS video of recruits heading to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, complete with Bon Jovi's "Wanted: Dead or Alive" playing in the background. Gotta love the 80's and 90's... So there I was in March of 1995 - an 18 year old scrawny, 135 pound weakling of a kid (who had done nothing close to athletic but march in the drum line for the last 4 years) nervously loading the bus in Atlanta bound for that mythical place that made Marines. I had seen Full Metal Jacket, I knew it would be both mentally and physically hard, and I wasn't sure how I would measure up. Sure, I had always been active and played hard as a kid, biking for miles on end on the rural back roads around West Georgia, running and exploring the deep woods in the summer heat, and swimming in the occasional roadside swimming hole. But that was nothing like USMC boot camp had in store for me. That was when I first found the love of fitness and true mental tenacity. The feeling of the challenge, and besting it... persevering and becoming a stronger, faster, and better version of myself. When I graduated, I not only looked, but felt and acted like the lean, mean, fighting machine you see in the recruiting commercials. I stood taller, I spoke firmer, I looked people in the eye with a confidence that only the brotherhood of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor can understand. After my initial combat training and MOS schools, I dropped to the Reserves and settled into a routine civilian job that required a long commute and a lot of sitting as a desk jockey. I also started a family... all good indicators for a marked decline in health and fitness. I gained weight, I got lazy, my back hurt. I tried unsuccessfully over and over again to lean up and get back to where I was, running for at least an hour every day at lunch or in the mornings. I would lean out, only to yo-yo my way back up again. Something was missing, and I didn't know what... In April 2004, I was activated and deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom with my unit in the Marines. I had a lot of free time after "working" hours, and the only thing to do was the gym. So I went every day, for no less than an hour and a half, and slowly built the body back that I had as a young Marine. I got in pretty good shape (but not HUGE, bodybuilders!), and I loved having the muscle and definition again. It also provided a great outlet for stress relief from the monotony of desert operations, and I felt amazing both mentally and physically. I still hadn't caught on fully to what it was that worked, but it did and I blissfully accepted it. After the tour was over, I once again transitioned back to the lifestyle that let me slide into fast food, long commutes, and desk PT. The cycle started again. went back to the Middle East as a contractor from 2007 to 2010, and ran into the same conditions as last time I was in that luxurious dust-bowl of a vacation destination (insert sarcasm here). This time, I paid attention. I experimented. I learned. I was determined not to let my old pattern happen again, and if it did- I would know how to change my life to get back without heading BACK to the desert. I trained hard and ate clean, and was in the best "functional" shape of my life in just 4 short months. I had finally figured out what I had been missing through all my trial and error. I returned home again, and this time I continued training with the exception of time off due to injuries or work travel. I took the time to experiment with different diets and exercise programs, and what they did to my body composition and overall feeling of well-being. Yes, my weight still fluctuated, but I learned what I needed to do to get to 210-plus pounds and get incredible strength gains. I also learned what I needed to do to lean back out, as well.
