Salisbury, NY Health and Fitness

The trainers at CrossFit Harrison don’t care if their students are dead-lifting with 500 pounds or with a broomstick. That’s because the CrossFit workout scales to all fitness levels and requires only that participants perform at their personal max. To help them do this, owner William Harris designed his no-frills gym without the distractions and hourly tea parties offered at fancy fitness clubs, reminding exercisers that their primary objective is to get healthy.

Harris, a North American Strongman competitor, certified personal trainer, and certified CrossFit coach, helms an equally credentialed staff. They lead classes designed to maximize the body’s proficiency in 10 foundations of fitness: strength, stamina, speed, flexibility, agility, accuracy, endurance, power, coordination, and balance. Though workouts vary each day, exercisers can expect to perform moves such as squats, lunges, jumps, throws, and pull-ups. CrossFit Harrison also offers personal training as well as nutrition training that teaches patrons how to balance their meals with lean proteins, grains, and greens and design a dietary plan according to their individual goals.

The instructors at MC Dance & Fitness understand that exercise takes effort. That’s why they’ve endeavored to fill their dance-fitness classes with the motivating power of rhythm and music. Zumba classes spice heels with Latin-flavored beats, and two levels of dance-fusion classes propel students through calorie-roasting dance routines from all corners of the world. Power Vinyasa-flow yoga classes slow things down, fostering deeper mind-body connections as instructors guide students through a series of challenging poses and breathing exercises.
