At CrossFit Athens, we’re best known for barbells, pull-ups, and high-intensity workouts that change lives. But did you know we also offer programs designed specifically for people who prefer less weightlifting and more cardio in a fun, group-based environment? That’s where ROAR Fitness and ROAR Spin come in.
These programs were created with a different kind of athlete in mind. Not everyone wants to train with heavy weights or learn advanced barbell movements—but that doesn’t mean they can’t benefit from professional coaching, accountability, and the energy of a supportive community. If you’re someone who thrives on cardio, variety, and motivation from a coach-led class, these programs might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
ROAR Fitness: HIIT With a Twist
ROAR Fitness is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program that combines cardio machines like treadmills, SkiErgs, and assault bikes with functional movements using Y-bells and bodyweight exercises. Workouts are fast-paced, constantly changing, and scalable for all fitness levels.
The focus is simple: burn calories, build endurance, and get stronger—without needing a barbell. Each session is led by an experienced coach who guides you through intervals designed to push your limits while keeping you safe and motivated. You’ll work hard, sweat a lot, and leave feeling accomplished, knowing you got an incredible full-body workout in less than an hour.
For those who have tried other group fitness programs but want something fresh and engaging, ROAR Fitness brings a unique mix of energy and intensity that keeps people coming back.
ROAR Spin: Cardio on Another Level
If music, rhythm, and endurance training are more your style, ROAR Spin delivers. These 30-minute classes are designed to be high-energy, heart-pumping sessions that challenge your cardiovascular fitness while keeping things fun. Our instructors use carefully curated playlists to drive the pace, making every class feel more like an experience than just a workout.
Spin is a fantastic option for anyone who loves cardio but wants to move beyond solo runs or walks. The group atmosphere is electric—you feed off the energy of the class, and the coach keeps you pushing when you’d normally slow down. It’s the perfect fit for those who want an efficient calorie-burning workout that goes by fast.
Why These Programs Work
Both ROAR Fitness and Spin give you the best of both worlds: the accountability and structure of a group class plus the expertise of professional coaching. They’re built for people who may not feel ready for (or interested in) CrossFit but still want results and a strong community.
Whether your goal is weight loss, building endurance, or just finding a program that makes you look forward to working out, these classes can help you get there. You don’t have to be an athlete to start—you just have to show up.
