You can take a workout class that feels a little like flying in Concord.
Why it matters: Bungee fitness has become a viral social media workout, and after my friends and I kept seeing it all over our feeds, we found the closest place to Charlotte to try it.
Context: This is another edition of McKenzie's Moves, where I try fitness classes and wellness experiences around the city.
Catch up quick: Bungee fitness is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio workout where you're strapped into a harness attached to a bungee cord overhead, allowing you to jump, leap and get some serious air.
Zoom in: That brought us to Get Fit Together, a locally owned women's strength and bungee fitness studio in Concord.
- Owner Joy Dry opened the studio in 2022 and has taught fitness since 2008, per Get Fit Together's website.
- In addition to bungee, the studio also offers classes focused on strength and functional training for women.
What to expect: A one-hour bungee fitness class.
- Don't let the flying fool you — it's a workout. Be prepared to sweat. My heart rate was up from all the jumping and leaping, even with the bungee taking lots of the impact.
- It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, but you'll be instructed through the class. By the end, we were moving from pushups to burpees to midair high fives.
By the numbers: A drop-in bungee class is $28. Classes are limited, so check the schedule and book ahead.
- An unlimited monthly membership to Get Fit Together is $139 and includes other group classes.
💭 My thought bubble: Go with your friends. Half the fun was laughing together while trying to get the hang of things.
If you go: A portion of the class will be recorded with clips for you to keep.
- Get Fit Together is at 300 Copperfield Blvd NE #200, Concord
