There is a deafening noise. With faces contorted in pain, muscular athletes lift heavy weights. Just a few meters in front of them the crowd is raging. The predominantly young audience whips up their favorites. Adult women and men yell at the increasingly exhausted weightlifters to raise the barbell again. And then again and again. As soon as possible. To the point of complete exhaustion.
Anyone who first thinks of fitness as a visit to a local studio in the evening to promote personal health has probably not heard of the Fitness Bundesliga. What happened last Saturday in the Bad Vilbeler Lifters Crossfit Hall is competitive sport.
