CROSSFIT CROWN POINT

e and more athletes caught word of “the new gym”, we were forced to move into a new spot. Our new space was 2800 square feet and it became known as the place to go for a no-nonsense workout. We held strict standards and did not let athletes make excuses. We would hear excuses like, “I can’t run today because it is cold and I am wearing a thong” or “Hey, I’m not going to push the sled today because I have a cold.” It soon became apparent that if this was going to be an elite training facility that members needed to be pushed and if they were not up to the challenge, then they would tap out and quit. Not everyone liked the program and some absolutely hated it. People who were never coached, soon realized that they had never been pushed this hard and this is what it took to get them in the best shape of their lives. Soon, our membership rose to 52 members the first year and we had 3 athletes lose a combined weight of 180 pounds. As time went by, we grew more and more and were forced to move into a new location with 3800 square feet. Membership doubled and we continued a successful program as we added kids camps and training camps for local fire departments. We have had 1 member lose close to 100 pounds, 5 members lose over 70 pounds, another 3 lose 50 pounds or more and 22 members lose 40 pounds or more. Our staff is currently operating with 6 certified Level 1 CrossFit coaches and two assistant coaches. Our members range in age from 12-64 and we have people here who create a very receptive atmosphere. CrossFit Crown Point believes that everyone should know what they are putting into their bodies…for this reason we teach members about diet and nutrition and how to eat for performance. Our gym is equipped with pull-up bars, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, chains, sleds, climbing ropes, rowers, plyo boxes, benches, bumper plates and chalk. All the things that you can’t do in a regular gym because you would probably get kicked out in a matter of minutes! CrossFit Crown Point also has a fully stocked supplement/vitamin store which supplies the members with protein, multi vitamins and water for their daily needs. We believe that every member is important and we view our members as “teammates” and “Family”. CrossFit Crown Point holds strict standards and teaches people that “victory is reserved for those willing to pay its price.”
