Introducing Chris Scully

For those of you that don’t know Chris – he is the co-owner of Main Event Fitness with his father, Bob. He is originally from Miami, FL and attended Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. Having played all sports as a kid, he decided on soccer as his sport of choice in high school and played for Wake Forest as a collegian. After graduating in 1989, he began his career in fitness in Miami and moved to Atlanta in 1993 to explore the opportunities of owning a gym. He became involved with Main Event Fitness shortly after arriving in Atlanta and several years later in 1997, bought ownership in the company. Chris' dream was always to own a gym - a real gym- and he is very proud to have had a large hand in the development of such an exceptional facility. He loves the atmosphere at MEF and truly looks forward to each and every day at the gym. Chris is married, has four dogs (3-Siberian Huskies and 1-German Shepherd), enjoys cycling, and occasionally plays golf and tennis. He enjoys reading mostly non-fiction and is a history buff. He attended Miami Dolphins games as a kid and wished the Falcons played outdoors so he could relive some of those wonderful fall days in a sun-soaked stadium (instead of the sterile Georgia Dome). Chris loves talking Pro Football and English Premier League Soccer.

Nutrition - Online Monitoring


One of the coolest new features of our website is our Online Nutrition Monitoring. Members can access this feature from any web browser. Just click and go!

The Skinny:

This innovative online tool assists our members in tracking their diet and helping educate them along the way. Introduced in 2007, our new software system allows a Main Event Fitness coach to advise our members on their meal planning and caloric intake (versus caloric expenditure). The online program is different than other online diet programs in that we do not provide a meal plan to follow. The meal plan approach has proven to cause a great deal of stress and frustration because it alters a person’s eating and food preparation habits significantly. This makes it very difficult for the individual to follow the program long-term. Main Event advocates recording what eat and gradually making changes to your diet by substitution of healthier alternatives that contain fewer calories.

To take a tour of the industry’s newest technology, please visit https://mef.stayinstep.com/login.htm.


Some of the features include:


  • An integrated Food & Exercise Log
  • Ideal & Goal Setting
  • Integrated Calendar that displays:
    • Daily Weight
    • Gain or Loss
    • Calories Consumed
    • Calories Burned
    • Net Calories
  • Over 8,000 foods in the database
  • Over 600 exercises in the database
  • User community with Forums

The online monitoring is both affordable and convenient. For more information, please call Dell White at 770-951-2120 or e-mail him at Dell@MainEventFitness.com.
