This gym has several different programs, some for adults, some for children. They also provide…read morenutrition classes and 1:1 personal training, but I stick with CrossFit classes which I just recently started doing here and I'm loving it!
There were numerous things preventing me from starting sooner, for example, age, being out of shape, old injuries and frankly I didn't want to work out around a bunch of 'roid-ragers...people acting cocky and throwing weights around, etc. I was feeling shy about trying and not really knowing what CrossFit is and worried that my advanced age would cause some judgement from others.
Boy was I surprised! This place couldn't be any further from what I envisioned...a good lesson about not letting worry get in the way of my best life. It's non-judgey, family-friendly, in fact whole families workout together, and there aren't any 'roid-ragers. Further, everyone competes against their own personal best. There are a wide range of people who workout here, some extremely fit, some more fluffy, some with injuries, but everyone is trying. In addition to Coach Nikki and Coach Ricky -- who help explain the exercises and best postures for movement and to prevent injury -- everyone else is super helpful and fun to talk with, too.
I waited a few years too many to get back into working out. If you're even considering getting in shape or staying in shape, you should visit. CrossFit is only $75 a month.
They have an after-school program for the kids that keeps them socialized, fit and in shape, and they will pick up at some of the local schools. There are also speciality programs for kids to improve in specific areas, such as baseball.
If you're tired of sitting on the couch looking at your phone, and/or thinking you should be working out, you should try CrossFit, it's way more fun than I thought it would be. Just make one visit, you'll see. They have classes at 3 or 4 different times a day, so one of those should work with your schedule. The class times I'm sure about include, 5 and 6:30 am and 5 pm, but I believe there may be a 6 pm class too.
Once you sign up, you gain access to an app that lists all the workouts in advance so you know what to expect. The app shows someone performing the task and it makes it really easy to document your progress ...after familiarization...it takes about 1 minute to document what you've accomplished, then you have a baseline for your personal best and you compete against yourself from there. Also, there are online resources to watch someone else do the exercise to standard if you just don't feel like you're getting it.
The added benefit is that this is right downtown, so it's probably within a 10-15 minute drive of many of the homes in Cabot. Hope to see you there!
