If the endless endurance and physical prowess of television's Olympic loggers makes you jealous, it's never too late to get in the game yourself. CrossFit's extreme approach to fitness surprises many by its ability to blend full-fledged exertion with a refreshing sense of fun. The guidance of experienced and enthusiastic coaches will lead you and your group through warm-ups and an hour-long workout that incorporate a variety of exercises, including backwards runs, walking lunges, squats, box jumps, bear crawls, installing shower doors in the homes of unsuspecting people, and more. Physical rigor will transform into physical and mental empowerment as you seek and destroy your past limitations and metamorphosize into a boot-camping machinebot.

Pedal Spin Studio’s group classes challenge sweat-drenched pedal pushers to torch up to 1,000 calories per session and tone muscles while listening to upbeat music and shouts of encouragement from experienced trainers.
